Esther (Herobrine x Reader)

Part 19: Simply In Love

(*casually hyperventilating* HOW DOES ONE SIMPLY RECOVER FROM FLUFF LIKE THAT?!)

(Another fanfic: The first chapter, Herobrine, just chilling.
The comments: "frick me PLEE-"
My fanfic: After almost 20 chapters, Herobrine finally goes shirtless.
The comments: "Where is...the Lenny face~?" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ..)

(Just in case, I guess this a good time to remind you that I DON'T do lemon!... However~
Uhh... Children, be warned. 😳)

The gentle glow of sunshine picked at your resting eyes. Slowly sliding you out of the blissful sleep --reminiscent of sleeping on a sea of clouds while a small creek bubbles gently underneath-- your physical form began to regain feeling slowly. Another body was pressed against yours. The warmth of his blood fighting off the chill which seeped in from the tub you slept in. The blanket, it appeared, had wandered off in your sleep. Your arms were wrapped around him and his around you. Your left leg was stretched, knee hoisted over his hip. His leg directly under it draped over your straightened one.

Your eyes fluttered open, landing on the face only inches from yours. It took you a moment to register exactly why he looked so different from before, but then you remembered. The same kinds of scars which you had seen covering his back and shoulder were likewise on his face. You were almost surprised once you realized what they were... Surprised by yourself... You had expected yourself to fear the man instantly, and cower in his presence. However, oddly enough, that wasn't your reaction. Instead, you just stared, adjusting slowly to his new appearance. You were sure they reminded him of the past...made him feel insecure. However, to you it just made him look a little rugged, wiser, like he always had something important to say. Almost more...trustworthy...oddly enough..

As you mused, quiet breaths joined with his, Hero began to slowly wake as well. You noticed it as his face started to shift as he woke, heavy eyelids lifting slowly, brows creasing curiously when he saw you looking at him... In that moment, everything about him, from his scarred skin to his flawless eyes...

"...(Y/n)..?" The man whispered his first word of the day, still coming-to, wondering what you were doing here. He was especially confused when he saw you smile...

You scooted an inch forward a bit, leaned your head in.. and placed a small kiss on the tip of his nose. "...You're beautiful..." You whispered, giggling at yourself shortly after that. Herobrine blinked a couple times, a funny expression glued to him after the kiss. One that asked why the heck you would say such a thing.

Still waking up a bit, Hero stuttered, "I- a-am?" Shaking his head in an attempt to wake himself quicker.

"Mm-hmm.." A giggle slid out as well. As Herobrine's mind slowly unfogged, you began to realize how clouded yours had been, too! For instance, you hadn't even properly registered the position you were in until almost another minute had passed. "...Heh-heh.." Your cheeks heated up a little when you noticed again your thigh on the man's hip. Somehow your knee was terribly bent and yet wasn't cramping! With somewhat of shame ridden in your face now, you slowly pried your leg off of him.

"Put that leg back.." Sly smirk sliding into play. Your eyes dashed back to meet his. A visible tremble ran though you. Just as slowly as it had left, your left leg returned to its previous position. Your eyes jumped to the subtle movement; Hero deliberately licked the corner of his mouth. "...May I?~" You shivered again, this time felt deeper in your gut.

"You...what?" You barely breathed.

"Kiss you....passionately?"

"Wh-wh-why?"
