Exlporation - Akaza x Reader

You opened the sliding door to your house and walked out as you were covering your body with a towel. You started to walk to a path that led to a hot spring next to your house.

You arrived and watched the steam rise from the pool of warm water. You breathed in and out as you took off the towel and slowly entered the hot spring.

You sighed in relief as you felt the warm water making your muscles feel all loose. "It's honestly a miracle that I live right near a hot spring. It gives me a sense of privacy whenever I'm here, to collect my thoughts about what's happening." You closed your eyes and made a heavy exhale as you opened your eyes to see the full moon.

"The moon is beautiful at this time..." You thought as leaves were falling and landing in the hot spring. You picked up one of the leaves in the hot spring and inspected it. "This has a beautiful color." And you let go of it.

You closed your eyes as you relaxed and listened to the sound of crickets and the water softly splashing.

"Having fun without me?"

You opened your eyes to see a demon with lines all over his body, with yellow eyes that said 'Upper Three'. You smiled at him and said, "Hey Akaza." You turned around to face him to see he was in a crouching position. "What are you doing here?"

"Just came to see my favorite human." He said as he pets your tied-up hair. "So what's been happening with you?"

You giggled as you softly swatted away his hand and said, "Oh nothin' much, just got some new food to help me stock up for winter. But other than that, nothing has been happening."

"Oh cmon, something had to happen while I was gone." He said in a playful tone, almost like he was teasing you.

"I'm telling you the truth, that's all I did." You said in between chuckling and then sighed. You turned around to look at the bright full moon and said, "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Sure is..." He quietly responded as you became entrances in your thoughts. He looked at you for a couple of seconds before he started to take his clothes off.

He took off everything from the pink vest he was wearing, to the tied-up pants, all the way down to the beads on his ankles.

He looks at you again to see you still idle in the water. He puts his foot inside the hot spring, feeling its warm temperature before going inside. You snapped back to reality as you heard the sound of water softly splashing. You look to your left to see Akaza sitting naked in the hot spring next to you, with his arms spread out.

You lightly blushed at the sight of him like this. Sure, you've seen the top half of his body all the time, he wears nothing but a vest. But it felt different, seeing him relaxing in a hot spring for the first time.

He then looks at you and says, "What?" You shook your head as you were taken out of your trance. "Huh?"

"What are you staring at to make you blush like that?" He said with a smug smile on his face.

"Just... you." He quietly said to him. "Just me, huh? What are you looking at me for then?"

You sighed and said, "You just look like your at peace with yourself, like you finally reached a moment of relaxation to yourself."

You both stare at each other for a few seconds before Akaza broke the tension by chuckling. "Yeah, I guess you have a point. Can't remember the last time I just stopped and relaxed..." He said as he looks at the full moon.

You smirked at him as you remembered the first night you met each other. You were walking in the woods as you went back home after gathering some supplies, when suddenly you heard the sound of the trees rustling.
