Chapter One: Rainy Days (Reverse comfort)

               As you rushed to Neuvillette's office, you had gotten soaking wet. "Rain?.. I wonder what happened this time.. did a melusine get hurt?.. or maybe it was a bad trial.." you thought as you continued dashing through the streets of Fontaine, not wanting to be more late then you already had been.

When you got to the ludex's office, you were met with a cold and seemingly kind of pissed expression from Neuvillette. "Late again?" he scowled, looking up and down at you, seemingly in a judging manner. "I'm sorry Monsieur, I was-" "Forget it, it's okay." Neuvillette said as he cut you off before you could even stutter out a sentence. You quickly nodded, not daring to question the judge, and went on to do your tasks of the day. "I wonder what's got him in such a mood today.. it's not like of him to be THIS pissed.. he's usually much nicer.." you thought to yourself as you prepared his morning coffee.

(A/N: im not sure if Neuvillette would be even NEED an assistant, but for the sake of the plot, let's pretend he does 🥲)

As you set down his coffee on his desk, you couldn't help but notice how more tired he seemed. You knew he was a busy man, but today, he seemed worse. The eye bags under his eyes hard darkened much more, his eyes drooping, his hand barely able to hold his pen. Perhaps he had pulled and all nighter and still didn't sleep even after that. But you did know, as much as he WAS the hydro sovereign, he still needed rest, no matter how much he denied it. "Monsieur.." you began but was AGAIN quickly cut off by the chief. "How many more times must I say for you to call me Neuvillette?" he said, his voicing lacking any real bite to it. "Neuvillette.. right.. so Neuvillette.. I.. I'm no one to decide things for you but, please, rest. I can deal with these files for now, just please.. take a break, eat something or sleep, I don't mind. Just.. rest" you said, your voice almost pleading.

He was about to reply with a disagreement convincing you that's he's fine and doesn't need rest, his mouth already opened to say it, but he just couldn't get the words out. He knew you were right. He was tired. Extremely tired. So, he reluctantly agreed, gently placing his pen into the cup of many many many pens and other stuff. He buried his face in his palms, sighing. "You know you don't need to do this right Y/N?" he said, his voice low and almost whisper like. "It's true I do not need to, but I want to. Just because you're the ludex doesn't mean you must have to do everything yourself. That's why I'm here mons- Neuvillette." you gently replied, looking at him. It truly did pain you seeing him like this..

Neuvillette then looked at you, a hint of gratitude in his expression. "Thank you." he simply said, getting up from his seat. His face suddenly flushed as he looked away. It was cute seeing him so flustered but you also couldn't help but question why. "I.. um.." he stuttered out, still not looking into your gaze. "Could I.. sleep on your lap?.." he asked, his tone barely above a whisper. His cheeks tinted an even brighter shade of red. You were astonished. THE ludex of Fontaine, wanted to sleep on your lap? THE man you possibly had a crush on, wanted to sleep on your lap? Oh hell yes. "I.. of course Neuvillette.." you replied sweetly, sitting down on the couch, waiting for him to lay his head onto your lap. At this point, Neuvillette was tomato faced, stuttering on his words and barely even able to form a coherent sentence.

God why did you make him feel this way?.. he asked himself, placing his head onto your lap, moving it around a little bit to get comfortable. As he finally settled down, he closed his eyes, relishing the feeling of warmth and fuzziness he felt in his stomach. "Is this what humans call... 'butterflies?'" he thought to himself. You looked down at him, admiring his peaceful form. "Beautiful..." you mumbled, not loud enough for Neuvillette to hear. "Pardon?.." Neuvillette asked, his voice laced with sleepiness. "Nothing.. sweet dreams" you whispered to him, running your fingers through his soft and silky white locks. "Hmm.." Neuvillette mumbled as he fell into deep sleep. You continued massaging his scalp, wanting nothing more but for him to comfortable in your lap. You gently caressed his cheek, his smooth skin making contacting with your fingers. He was beautiful.. and nobody could change your mind about that.

Neuvillette shifted slightly, now burying his face into your stomach, his arms snaked around your waist as he clinged onto you like a lifeline. He was like a little baby.. seeking warmth from their mother. He mumbled some words which you couldn't really make out since well.. his face was buried into your stomach. You then placed your hands into his hair again, continuing to run your tiny hands in his hair. How does someone's hair smell this good too?.. you thought to yourself. Wait.. what the f were you thinking? He was your boss. Also the ludex of Fontaine. Your percentage even if you had one to be with him.. was extremely low. He was perfect.. and you.. well.. you. Plus, you already tried love before. And ended up being cheated on. And as much as you trusted him with all your heart, him + you was near impossible. Neuvillette shifted again, this time basically cuddling you. He wrapped his hands around your back, burying his face into your chest, unconsciously sighing, pleased.

You lightly massaged his back as best as you could, trying to work your way through the complicated.. designs of his suit. How the hell does that man even dress this well and not complain 24/7?

The sun shined into your eyes, as you woke up. It was all a dream.
