Ivan x Reader One-Shot
---------------------------------
Ivan: Sunflower~ Hm, what's wrong?
I laid on the bed, buried under the covers. I peeked past the corner of the blanket, him wearing a concerned expression. One that I couldn't seem to get used to.
Reader: Ah, nothing.
I thought it would be best not to worry him. Besides, it wasn't anything major.
Ivan: You look as snug as a bug! I'm jealous.
Reader: J-jealous?
I'm only still in bed because it's so cold! How come he doesn't seem to notice?
Ivan: Vampires don't produce body heat like living humans do, so we're often unaware of the heat. Ah, I hear the heat from a fire is lovely. Is it, _?
Reader: Yes, it can be. It makes the entire room nice and toasty.
Ivan: It sounds wonderful.
Ivan: Ah, is that why you're wrapped up in bed?
It was a little embarrassing for him to say it out loud.
Ivan: Hm, maybe I can help!
Reader: Help?
He removed his shoes, grabbing the edge of the comforter. With a swift motion he climbed into bed under the covers beside me.
Reader: W-what are you doing?
Ivan: Warming you up!
The weight from his body pulled me closer to him, having to put my hands out against his chest to keep myself from falling more.
Reader: But you said you don't produce body heat!
Ivan: I couldn't think of anything else to do. You'll let me try though, right?
His violet eyes were on mine, nearly begging. How could I say no?
Reader: ...fine, you can stay.
A smile lit up his face, edging closer to me.
Reader: What are you doing?!
I gasped as his arms wrapped around me, hugging me from behind.
Ivan: I'll be your fire.
Heat rose up my neck, tinging my ears.
How can he say something so embarrassing?
I was being spooned by Ivan. Ivan, the man who vowed to protect me and treat me gentler than a doll.
Why was he doing this? I thought there had been a wall between us, insurmountable at that. Yet with his childlike carefree attitude it came crumbling down in an instant.
Reader: Ivan?
Ivan: Hm?
He brushed my hair to the side, planting his lips against my neck.
Reader: Cold!
Ivan: Ah, I'm sorry. Seems like I'm not doing a good job.
In contrast to his words, I was hyper-aware of him, his long slender arms wrapped around my torso, legs covering my own.
I should feel like a bug caught in a spider's web and yet...
It feels nice.
Heat emanated from my core, cheeks and back of my neck flushed from his close proximity.
I had never imagined being held by him before; it was strange yet calming at the same time.
Ivan: Aren't you going to relax?
Reader: Ah...
I was so focused on his closeness that I had been tense the entire time. With a slow exhale I relaxed, feeling my shoulders droop. I settled against his chest, broad and sturdy.
He had indeed become my fire, entire body feeling warm.
I had never felt so safe, so protected, in my entire life. No longer cold, I felt myself drift off, eyelids slowly closing as I slipped into a sweet slumber.
