Ash x Eiji one-shots

Different

excuse my horrible story plots- anywho, this takes place like 2 years or so after ash went to japan with eiji, and they are dating in this one :)

Eiji's pov
I know that Ash has been through a lot, so it's natural for him to have nightmares, and to be sad. But i hate when he randomly starts acting different which makes me think that something new happened to him. I want to protect him from everything. But i'm just me, i can't do much. (a/n just to clarify i don't think Eiji is useless, i just feel like that's how he feels) He just seems like he's hiding something from me. Which i get it if he doesn't want to tell me everything but i can't help him if he doesn't tell me. He's always been a little bit distant since we met but it just seems like he drastically changed in the span of one night. He was actually doing okay for the past few years. He still had frequent nightmares and had some bad days, but overall he smiled so much more then he used to. Last night, he woke up from a nightmare. I wonder if that's what is bothering him? Maybe he had a really bad one that effected him really badly? "Eiji!" Ash said as my thoughts were brought to a stop. "Huh? Sorry i zoned out." I said while stretching. "It's fine i just wanted to make sure you were okay. You seemed really deep in thought." He said while looking over at me worryingly. "Well i was. Speaking of, i know something has been bothering you today. And you don't have to tell me, i just want you to know that i'm always going to be here if you want to talk about it. You have just seemed a lot more distant then usual today and i'm worried about you." I said while looking up at him from my spot on the bed. "Oh that. I figured you would notice." He said while coming to sit down next to me on the bed. "Do you wanna talk about it?" I said while tilting my head to the side. " You're really cute, you know that? And yeah i guess it could help." He said while looking at me.  "Stop that's embarrassing!" I said while blushing. I'm sure my face was as red as a tomato. "But yeah if you feel like talking, go ahead. I'm listening." I said to him. "I guess it was the nightmare that i had last night. I'm used to having them, and i always try my best to ignore them, but this one really got to me. It was back when Arthur had kidnapped you, but i didn't get there in time. Meaning you had been raped. A-and that was one of my biggest fears other then you dying. I just don't want that happening to you. And all day i've been thinking about how it could have happened because you weren't safe when you were wit-"I cut him off my kissing his lips softy. "Listen to me. I was always safe with you. It was just the bad people in your life that i wasn't safe from. You always protected me. So i was never unsafe with you. And i'm right here. Im not dead, i wasn't raped. I know nightmares can seem like their real but their not. Nothing bad happened to me. I'm right here, and i always will be." I said while cupping his face in my hands. I saw tears in his eyes and it broke my heart. I want to take all of his pain away. A few tears feel down his face and i gently wiped them away. "I love you Eiji." Ash said while looking down at the sheets of the bed. In this moment, i was so proud of him. I'm always proud of him, but i was especially proud of him right now. We hadn't said i love you yet. It always been on my mind, but i was going to let him take his time and i didn't want to rush him. I've always loved him. I just didn't want to pressure him by saying it. And i know it was hard for him due to his past. But to me it's a sign that he is slowly overcoming his past. And that makes me so happy for him. "I love you too Aslan. More then you'll ever know. " I said while lifting his head up. He smiled at me. And it was definitely a real smile. He giggled and i swear his whole face was lit up. He looked so happy. And that made me smile and giggle too. I love him so much.
