Capturing a Moment (Shin Ryujin x Female Reader)

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Ryujin's POV

I started to slowly stir awake from sleep on a really warm thing. I nuzzled my head further into it and then took a deep breath, my eyes quickly opening. I blinked a few times and saw that I was sleeping on top of y/n on my couch.

So this is all real, fuck yeah.

She was radiating warmth and I never wanted to leave her embrace. I let my body relax into her and she subconsciously tightened her hold around my waist, making me smile against her. She shifted around a little underneath me, but didn't wake up. I glanced over at the clock and saw that it was just before 5pm. We both slept for a few hours, which I'm thankful for.

But alas, my quiet sleeping time with y/n was interrupted when Dallie whined at me, noticing I was awake. I prayed that y/n wasn't going to wake up because Dallie needed to go outside. I tried to think of how I could get off her without waking her up, but anything I came up with, there was still a possibility.

I reached behind me to gently grab y/n's arm that was resting on my lower back. I placed it on the top of the couch cushions and then slowly lifted myself off of her body. I was watching her facial expressions the whole time to see if she was stirring awake. But she was still asleep. My guess is the jet lag is still having quite the effect on her.

I knew though with my body warmth missing, she would wake up regardless because her body would be searching for it. So being the smart person I am, I grabbed a heating pad I had and then a small pillow, along with a blanket. I laid the heating pad on her chest and put it to its lowest setting. I put the pillow on top of her lap where my lower back was, so I moved her arm back. After that, I draped the blanket over the top of her body.

I stood next to the couch and cooed to myself when she held onto the pillow and smiled in her sleep. She's just too damn adorable when she sleeps. Now I understand why she thinks I'm cute when I'm sleeping. I couldn't resist it and I crouched down to place a feather light kiss on her forehead.

Dallie was already by his collar and leash, patiently waiting to go outside. I tiptoed away from y/n and then got my shoes on and coat, getting Dallie situated as well. Soon we were outside in the courtyard of the complex as I waited for him to do what he needed to do.

It took a total of ten minutes and I'm just praying that my stupid little thing worked at keeping y/n asleep when I was gone. I unlocked my apartment door and let Dallie run loose which I immediately regretted because he ran straight into the living room, full of energy. I practically sprinted to the entrance of the room and saw Dallie trying to wake up y/n by shoving a stuffed toy into her face that was now turned sideways.

"Dallie!" I whispered harshly to him as he just glanced over to me. I pointed for him to get away from her, but being the brat he can be sometimes, he ignored me and full-on rammed the toy into y/n's face so it squeaked.

My eyes widened in fear as y/n groaned, scrunching up her face in annoyance. I ran over to Dallie and shooed him away from y/n. I crouched down and much to my dismay, y/n's eyes fluttered open to meet mine. I sighed and brought my hand to rest on her cheek, brushing my thumb gently across it,

"I'm sorry Dallie literally shoved his toy in your face and woke you up." I whispered to her with a frown in my face. But instead of her being clearly upset from being woken up, a small smile made its way to her lips,

"It's completely fine, Ryu. I'm actually happy because all of this wasn't a dream after all." My frown disappeared and I leaned in to kiss y/n. She responded right away and I maneuvered my way back on top of her without breaking the kiss. She was warm and then my brain remembered I put a damn heating pad on her, so of course she was warm. I moved it off of her and straddled her body, deepening the kiss.
