Scarab x Reader here ya go!
It was a normal day at the cosmic office, you were filing some paperwork when Scarab approached you. He clears his throat, "YN, I have something for you" He hands over a bouquet of roses. They are the most beautiful, sweet smelling roses you have ever seen. You take them into your hands, a warm blush spreads across your cheeks and you admire them. You look at him in surprise, "...for me?". He look at you as if smiling through his mask, " of course, who else would these be for?". You couldn't believe it at first, you had always liked him but never expected someone like him to return the feelings. You notice a tag on the bouquet, there was a phone number with the words "call me" written beside it. Before you could say anything else, Scarab winks at you before checking his crystal, " duty calls" and then he left. That's how it all started.
Over time he started doing more elaborate activities in attempts to impress you. You would think he would be all poems and roses? no, you get that and SO much more! From Shakespearian poems describing how you set his soul on fire in the best of ways to fighting eldritch horrors in your name. It was unnecessary, even though it worked on you. He wanted you to know how much he loved you, he wanted everyone to know he would do ANYTHING to keep you safe.
He would even try to teach you how to use a sword to keep you safe. training you, dueling with you, all while gently guiding you by hand to help correct your posture. Though, it was also an excuse to be close to you and to feel the touch of your skin as he did so. Any excuse to be close to you. Any excuse to hear the way you breathe after a good training session.
He tries to dance with you, to twirl you by the hand. He loves it when you smile. The way you laugh as he dips you during the dance. From waltzing to a spicy tango. Every touch of your hand would be described in various poems, from soft as dandelion fluff to sending waves of excitement through his body.
One day he got a carried away, so determined to woo the one he already had. Fighting an ancient eldritch beast known as The Star Eater, the beast was too powerful and easily knocked scarab down like a sack of crabs. You have tried before to tell him that it is not necessary, but he insists for he wants to be your knight in shinning armor. He tried to get back up for another attack, to keep fighting. But no, the Star Eater gave him a whomping smack with his tail so hard Scarab separated into a set of twelve little scarabs. Star Eater left to consume another star as you ran towards the little scarabs. They looked so defeated, so disappointed and embarrassed.
You felt bad for him, you knew he was only doing this for you even though he did not had to. You pick up one of the scarabs, then sat down as they surround you. They snuzzle up to your sides, nuzzling their little heads against your shirt. You know he would reform, but you also knew it was time you told him this. You look the little scarab in the eyes, "you don't have to try so hard because you like someone. I love you, and you will always be enough for me". With that, you could have sworn a tear fell from his eye. Scarab reforms, with the little scarab in your hands becoming his head. He looks you in the eyes lovingly, " and you are everything I need". You pull him into a well-deserved kiss. Your lips pressed against his as he pulled you closer. Tilting his head as he deepens the kiss, he felt complete.
I hope you like it :)
