[On Hold] I'm a what?! (That Time I got reincarnated as a slime x Male Reader)

20K Readers Special!!

My heart raced like a beating drum, like wheels on a racetrack, like the feet of the marching band. I stood in shock amongst the other demon lords surrounding us as Rimuru guided my hand to his stomach, I mean... What did I expect when he produced female reproductive organs, this was always a possibility but now it seemed much more shocking despite the thought never leaving my mind.

I was lost for words as my hands shook and gently caressed the small bump beginning to form on Rimuru's stomach, I felt a bump and a kick from the baby resting inside him and my mind started to melt as I imagined being able to hold the small bean in the palm of my hands; we were quickly pulled away from one another as the meeting needed to continue but it seemed as if a much bigger conversation would be needed after...

The demon lords meeting Walpurgis officially renamed Enneagram meaning 9 pointed star as a reference to all 9 demon lords present, the rest of it was just reports and that's it really there wasn't much actually to say about it since there wasn't much said in it- my mind was preoccupied as everyone began to leave, the representatives from my kingdom rushed to me as I stood facing Rimuru and the Tempest representatives, they seemed cautious still especially after all that's happened but the shining star burning away their shade, Rimuru, walked forward and took my hand in his with a beaming smile before dragging me into the portal with the others following behind, taking me to Tempest... taking me home...

The bright city lights were astonishing, the place seemed brighter than ever and people noticed our return immediately- bright smiles for Rimuru and malice for me of course but that may never change... I hung my head low in shame, who could blame their hatred as I had left them in an outrage but I would never regret it, suddenly, as my head hung and eyes blurred with tears; a happy string of voices rung out and a large group could be heard running towards me. I looked up, breathe welling in my throat as I almost choked back the tears welling in my eyes but before me was all the people who were glad to see me again; the humans from the village, the werewolves that escaped the corrupt kingdom, the orcs who saw me as a boss, goblins I took in during naming, the Rose guard and especially all the tempest wolves... they were glad that I of all people were back, they seemed excited and genuinely cheerful; it was a powerful sight to see, a sun bright enough to burn away the blackened wings of icarus and finally allow him to see reality.

You: " I was chasing a dream... something I could never and should never obtain; I wanted to be the supreme ruler, to be a king that no one dared to challenge but only facing forwards to a goal made me blind to those behind me pushing me towards it and making it possible... to all of you, I am sorry; it was a foolish desire but now... I am home, if you'd all accept me back... "

I waited with anxiety... my heart almost tearing from my chest was enough to make me want to flee but that would only prove that I could never change, just as the waiting started to become torture, I felt my body hoisted into the air and throw up as a chorus of cheers erupted below me- there were so many voices welcoming me home again like my own family once upon a time.. they meant the world to me and flying towards the sun made me blind to their faces. I swallowed my pride and allowed myself to be thrown in celebration before being placed down and taking a knee before them all; I loudly exclaimed to make them proud of me again.

The welcome party waited and began preparing outside, Rimuru and I sat inside the office like old times, behind Rimuru on the wall was a large painting of me that he tried to hide with a cloth, it seems he was more devote to the relationship than ever; he shuffled in his seat and struggled to muster his words, I decided to take charge and start first..

Both: " So I!..." 

Both: " Please go first.. "

Both: " No you... "

Rimuru: " Please go first "

You: " Ok "
