Atsushi x Reader Fluff (domestic): Scary spider

You were slowly waking up, coming to your senses, first sound, as you heard familiar noises coming from the apartment, as Atsushi was trying to make breakfast, even though the sounds coming out of the kitchen didn't make it seem like he was succeeding...

Then you started smelling, which was heavily influenced by whatever Atsushi was making, and that was not a good smell first thing in the morning, because you didn't want to deal with a fire while being in your pajamas. But it wasn't just that smell, there was also another one, a natural one, it seemed like it was the forest's smell... eh whatever, atsushi probably just bought a new plant! Right?

However, you were also starting to feel something on your face, it felt like small little hairs trying to tickle you over and over, without any signs of stopping. Huh what could that be? You were starting to grow really curious about it actually! So you took all of the courage you had in you and let your eyes be blinded by the light to face the thing that was, well on your face.

Which made you scream; a bit loudly:

"AAARGH EUAEUAH WHAT I ARG GNAAA GNAA GO AWAY"

okay so the thing on your face was not exactly something you wanted on your face.

It was a spider. And a really big one! Like coming-from-another-planet level of big! No,you weren't exaggerating because of your fear of spiders.Not at all. That'd a really dumb thing to do....heh.

Yea, you were a bit scared of spiders, just a bit though! Cause you only scream really loudly when you see one to show dominance! Yea! Exactly! You just wanted to assert dominance!

But Atsushi wasn't going to let you assert dominance on the spider apparently since he was already bursting in the room with a very worried look on his face. "Y/N Are you okay?! Is something threatening you do you... uh need help? What happened?!" He was already shouting at the top of his lungs just because you did the same some seconds ago! Did he not understand your way of asserting dominance?

The spider had run off from your face to the opposite side of the room (thankfully), so you just pointed at it with your shaking hand (which clearly showed dominance) and whispered as loud as you could "Spider. Big. Scary."

Atsushis expression instantly dropped to become a less worried one but definitely more compassionate, and you thought it was so sweet that you almost forgot about the spider. Only almost because it was still standing in the corner of the room menacingly and you were starting to think that maybe you weren't the one asserting dominance and that it was actually the spider all along! What a plot twist!

"Oh I'm soo sorry Y/N, I knew you were afraid of spiders but when I saw it running around the apartment I just couldn't let it go back to the outside world without taking care of it! So I built it a little house with food in one of the kitchen counters so that you wouldn't come across it... I don't know how it escaped.... I'm sorry I'll put it outside for you now..." He spoke up with a really, really disappointed look on his face. He seemed so hurt.... He looked like he was about to tear up, but he still wanted to help you. And that was such a touching sight that you were starting to feel really bad for him, and a bit for the spider even.

"But you know it really isn't dangerous I promise and I could make sure it never escapes again and-"

"It's fine atsushi... we can keep it if you want to! I trust you with it! And it'll help me fight my fear either way so it's good! Just... make sure I don't have to wake up to the feeling of its disgusting hairs on my face." You interrupted him giggling a bit in the end... seeing him like that had definetely calmed you down and you were starting to think cohabitating with the spider wouldn't be that bad after all! Especially considering how much the thought of it leaving hurt Atsushi... you didn't want him to be hurt by your irrational fear that was disappearing anyway!

He looked so happy after hearing your sentence that you just knew you had made the right choice, after all if all it costed for him to be happy like that was a little fright, you were okay with it.

"Thank you so much Y/N. I'll make sure it doesn't come near you ever again."

"It's okay, I'm safe as long as you're closer to me than the spider is!"

You both giggled at your phrase, before you pulled him into a tight hug. "Thank you so much for worrying about me, Atsushi."
