Guardian's Obsession (Yandere Naga x Reader)

Chapter Twenty Eight ~ Clarity That Hurts

( Y/N POV )

It had been three days since I was brought to my new den and to be honest I loved it here. My den mates as they had taken to calling themselves were a little intense but I knew they were trying to take care of me so I didn't mind so that so much. Right now I was trying my best to relax but I found it was rather difficult with my current company. Silver was fun to be around but while I was washing I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, no matter how much Pearl insisted it didn't matter he was male I still couldn't relax even when he turned his back to me. "I still say this is silly Y/N, me being here is no different than Pearl being here" I felt a little guilty hearing him from the far side of the room, but I reminded myself he male but I didn't know him that well. No matter how used I was to showing more skin or even being naked I hadn't lost all modesty just yet. "Stop pouting Silver. Y/N might be human like mother was but she doesn't know us yet, she needs to get used to you before your allowed closer while she is bare" I couldn't help but giggle hearing him mumbling something. Despite being a lot older than me these two acted like pre teens, it was actually nice to be around after being around everyone I had been. Except maybe Coral and Berry, Berry was a child after all and Coral was... she was Coral. Glancing back at where Silver had curled himself I couldn't help but think how beautiful his coils were, even when he was pouting looking at the wall. Olcana was pale but their scales had a shine the older male didn't have which made them all the more attractive. "I just want to help... just because I am male I don't get to help like you do" Turning around I couldn't help but smile warmly at Silver as he sulked, he seemed to genuinely just want to help look after me. Sighing a little I decided to give him something to do, even if it made me a little uncomfortable it was the nice thing to do. He just like his siblings were risking a lit to get me away from Karn and keep me safe. "Hey Silver?" I watched as he slowly turned my way, his eyes never straying from my face. "If you really want to, you can wash my back for me. I can't bend enough to do it properly on my own now" His eyes lit up like a child at christmas as he quickly came over, taking the small cloth I help out as I cover my chest from sight. Just before I turned around I caught Pearl's expression as she smiled at me gratefully. "I'll go get some fresh coverings for you Y/N since Silver is helping you wash. Don't forget White still wants to check on you before you go to sleep"

I nodded humming a little letting my eyes close as Silver began washing my back. He didn't take long to finish the job, but a few seconds after the cloth left my back I felt his clawed hands return. On reflex I tensed remembering Karn's touch. Slowly I felt the hands on my back move, kneading and gently putting pressure into tense muscle. I felt myself slowly relaxing a slow sigh leaving me, I hadn't realised how much my back had been hurting recently. "I'm sorry" My eyes shot open as I turned to look at Silver, finishing his eyes trained on my back. It took me a minute to realise he must be looking at some of the scars. Thanks to Mai almost constantly putting oils or creams on me when I bathed before they were almost invisible to the human eye, but that didn't seem to stop any of their kind seeing them clear as day. "You have nothing to be sorry for, none of you hurt me Silver. Karn did" Slowly his eyes came up to meet mine, and the pain in them made my stomach lurch a little. I hadn't seen anyone look so hurt over seeing my scars. "If we'd have come sooner you wouldn't have been hurt like this... Mother didn't even have scars like this" A shiver ran through me feeling one of his claws run over a scar on my shoulder blade, I remember how that one got there very vividly. I don't remember what it was I said exactly I just know it made Karn furious, he lashed out with so much rage. I moved around so I could hold onto Silver's wrist gently pulling his hand away from my skin, my other arm coming to curl around my swollen stomach silently. All thoughts of modesty were suddenly gone, my mind too focused on repressing the memories trying to push forward. I could feel my eyes burning as tears threatened to fall, thankfully this time I could blame it on my hormones. Looking around I found Silver watching me looking more than a little panicked, I guess that was my fault. Forcing a weak smile I tried to think of something to bring his mood back up. If he started to cry I would be definitely end up crying with him. "Scars aren't always a bad thing Silver. Even if they bring bad memories back when I see them, they do me good too" His face wasn't panicked anymore but the confused frown wasn't much better, it did tell me what I was saying was working. Gripping his wrist tighter I smiled with more resolve this time. "They are proof I survived! I've been through hell and I am still here, so I know I can keep going" As soon as I realised what I said I started giggling. Had I not seen the very confused look on Silver's face I would have kept going, but instead I reeled myself in coughing slightly trying to stop the bubbling giggles that wanted to come out still. "Sorry. I just realised how cheesy I sounded just then" I could tell he didn't understand what I meant but I was just happy to not be on the brink of tears anymore. For a few silent minutes we stayed that way. Silver let just watched me as I tried to get my emotions in check, a hand rubbing gently over my stomach as I felt my baby start moving again. "Can I?"
