Seiya x Reader Scenarios

When I go on a long trip overseas

When I was still going to high school and lived with my family, we planned a trip overseas over the summer holidays. It was one of those family moments in which we just enjoyed seeing new things, giving us an opportunity to just relax and to bond.

At that time me and Seiya were already a couple and the Holy War against Poseidon was over. That being said, Seiya didn't need to be anywhere and relaxed in his apartment, spending time with me when I returned from school.

It was like ripping a bandaid off. It hurts regardless of how carefully you try to rip it off, so you might as well make it as quick as possible.

Sitting at Seiya's dining table, I had a nervous smile on my lips and announced to my boyfriend "My family is going on a trip overseas."

Pausing, Seiya was about to eat strings of noodles from his ramen, blinking at me as if he was trying to process the new information "Your family? Like... you and your family?"

I nodded my head "This summer."

"In two weeks?" It was quite a short notice, especially because I had hesitated for a long time. But in my defence, we never even talked about plans for the summer, after all Seiya had to visit Sanctuary or the Kido Mansion so often that we didn't have the opportunity to even plan anything together.

Drinking a sip of water, I gave Seiya an apologetic smile "I'm sorry that we can't see each other for 40 days."

"No, you already told me once that your family likes to spend summer in another country. It really isn't that surprising news." He tried to brush it off but I could see him visibly pout.

He had really hoped that I wouldn't go that year, so we could spend more time together as a couple.

Feeling bad, I took his hand and tried to be optimistic "But until then we can spend as much time as possible to compensate."

The next two weeks we met up everyday until the day came when me and my family flew to our trip. Back then smartphones weren't invented yet and to call each other with the phone from different countries was very costly and took lots of time, since one had to dial an operator first. So, me and Seiya couldn't call each other, at least not regularly.

Not gonna lie, I felt kind of lonely without my goofball by my side. Ever since he returned to Japan after his six years of training as a saint, we never were separated for so long.

And I wasn't the only one.

Like a desperate puppy, Seiya would sometimes walk up to my home, kind of expecting me to be back home, only to be disappointed to see no one home. Sometimes his brothers would try to cheer him up but they can't entertain him every day, when they have their own lifes to live. For instance, Shiryu and Hyoga always travel to their own homes in another country, making Shun the only one that regularly sees Seiya in Tokyo. But as much as Shun tries to be there for Seiya during his lonely phase, he also tries to get a grip on his own life. Now that Andromeda Island isn't there anymore, Shun is forced to live within the Kido Mansion and is in desperate search of what to do.

Most of the time Seiya would visit my family and join us for meals. With us now in another country, he was forced to either eat in the Kido Mansion with Shun or go to a restaurant to get himself something to eat. Not that Seiya only eats junk food but it is simply cheaper for him, considering the fact that he hasn't an actual job. The only reason why he can afford his studio apartment is because of the money he earned through the Galaxian Wars and because of Saori, who makes sure that her saints can afford a normal life.

During my trip Seiya also started to contemplate on what to do with his life, when he doesn't have to fight enemies. All he ever learned was to be a warrior, nothing more. He wondered whether he should open his own martial arts school but he didn't trust himself to be able to take care of children. There was a brief period in which he lost all confidence in himself, thinking that he can't live a normal life. It's only thanks to Shun that he didn't lose his head during that depressing period, making it more obvious that he was missing my support.

At last, when I returned home after 40 days, I wasn't that surprised to see Seiya standing in front of my home, waiting for me like a trained dog. I told my family that I would be with Seiya and we made our way to one of our favourite spots. Alone, he quickly embraced me and kissed my forehead "Next year we will have a trip together! I can't stand to be separated for so long!"

Laughing at his clingy behaviour, I rubbed his back and gave him a kiss on the nose "Next year I tell my parents that I want my boyfriend to bond with my family. Maybe they will even pay for your ticket." I chuckled.
