Glowing & Justice (Asia X Reader)

Ch 29 - Here I Am

Asia went to check up on you. What's this about?

Enjoy.

~~~~~

As the two of you laid there, the both of you kept quiet. There was this thing where the two of you didn't want to say anything to make it awkward. The two of you wanted to be there and savior the moment as you see in movies, shows, and stories everyone hears. Except, how does one say it. Say "Yeah, first time" or "This okay?" and other gestures when spooning. It's the adjustment phase of things. But since no one gave advice, this was really organic. Trying to soak things up. 

"You awake?" You asked.

"Yeah. What is it?" She questioned. 

You turned around to face her. "Want to turn around so I can comfort you?"

"Don't you need it?"

You smiled. The stars and moonlight shining through the windows allowed you to see her blush. "I have you here. I'm set. And you?"

"Better, but you worry me."

"You should have seen me after I found out Howie could talk. I freaked out and almost peed myself. But here we are. And just to let you know, likewise if something were to happen to you. I don't know how strong I am. That's the only problem."

Asia shook her head. "But you punched a guy when you were at your old school."

"Problem is, for a human I know I can win. That woman that was the Fallen Angel that stabbed me? I don't know how I will be versus other enemies. That's what I worry about. But I've been training, studying, and I treat this like a job. And you have been keeping me in check. Can't lie about that one. It's just been wild."

"I'll say. But I will also say it's peaceful sharing a bed for the first time. I have you alone and with no one else around."

"Yeahhh..." It just hit you. Howie isn't even in the room. "Funny how this works. I remember seeing your eyes for the first time."

"You do? What was it like?" She started to get a little giddy. Nervous, but conversation and heart to heart talks it what builds relationships. 

"Well if you think about it, after the recovery I saw you. I thought I was dreaming or something was going on. But I wasn't used to seeing a pretty girl in front of me. Then waking up in a nice place. It was all unreal to me. Such a life change. I viewed the world as pretty small a few months ago. Much more bigger now. Especially if you can fly." You chuckled. 

"You saw me and thought I was pretty?" Asia sighed happily.

"I did. Thought nothing more of it until later on. Howie and Rasai being together and all of that. It came down to where we had a long day together and when you went to go see Issei I saw that look in your eyes and just thought it was a lost cause. Just like when I saw you for the first time."

"You didn't think I would be attracted to you?" She thought. It stung a little. Asia wanted an explanation. 

"Where I went to school Asia the boy to girl ratio is mostly boys. A lot of the girls in the area know someone or get sponsored so they get out of that area. It becomes a 33 percent girl school. Ours now is like 90. And with that said, usually its the girl chooses the guy. It's like yeah that girl is pretty. But with every girl there is at least three or more to choose from. I just never got that nod. Never got that vote of confidence. When I met you and I thought you were way too good for me. I didn't have an interest in any of the girls I went to school with. Sooo..."

"They really missed out." She giggled.

"What do you see that maybe I don't?"

"All you needed was to work on your smile. You have great intentions, you're brave, you don't back down, the way you think before you act, and I think you're sweet regardless. I don't know where I come from. Some call me a Witch."

"Your powers?" You guessed. 

"Indeed so."

"Last time I checked when are witches pretty? Beautiful? Great qualities?"

"Thanks Honey." She snuggled you. "You don't know how kind you can be. I feel like I could cuddle you anytime I want without interruptions. Do you have any idea how that feels?"

You haven't cuddled with anyone else. Not your mother. Not a friend. This was nice. Really have been missing out for a long period of time. "I do now. I heard cuddles were always nice. And because of you now I know. Simple as that."

"Soft, warm, and comforting right?"

"You know it. I'm glad we can be able to kiss and cuddle freely. At first I was clueless. Can't lie."

"It's okay Honey. But did you want to try it out? Sharing a bed?" That was a major question. This was skipping a few steps to you.

"Sure. But this mean you're sharing the room too? Getting dressed and all in here?"

"I can hold off. I have to move my things in here. Either way my room is down the hall."

You smiled. "Good point. Should we try and rest?"

"Probably." She gave you a peck. "Night Honey."

"Night Asia." You close your eyes and think to yourself. Not only did she climb in bed, but she's sleeping here tonight. But it got me thinking. I need an endearment for Asia.
