Loss of Ignorance (Yandere male x female reader)

Ch. Ten: Night at the Forge

At first, he thought that he hadn't heard her right. Yes, he's helped her with very personal things, but it's not like he looked. No, he respected her privacy as best as he could given the situation. Yet, sharing a bed ... Well, he supposed that he'd add that to the list of things that he'd never expect to happen to him. He knew that she didn't mean anything romantic by it, but why had she gone quiet for awhile after declining him sleeping on the floor? Could she be thinking of other things?

"Are you sure, (F/n)? I don't mind." She nodded, and his heart beat faster. Despite the situation, he was thankful. His dreams of (F/n) were coming true one by one. If they continued, perhaps, she'd agree to be just his. As queen, she could determine who she'd wish to marry. And as far as he knew, there wasn't anyone that had caught her eye. At least, she hadn't mentioned anyone, and he hoped that she never would unless it was him.

"Yeah." She smiled and glanced down to the sheets before she looked back up to him. "You deserve a good rest too."

"I ... Very well, then." He held up the shirt again. "And, would you like this?"

Would it have his scent? The question popped into her head before she had a chance to block it. She seriously needed to control her emotions; she didn't even have an answer to that question. Trying to regain herself, she looked to the dress that was on her. It would be nice to have clean clothes on. "Yes, thank you. Do you think it'll be long enough, though? I don't want it to ride up too much when I sleep." That would be embarrassing if he awoke and saw her makeshift chemise halfway up her.

"It might not be." He opened the top drawer of the dresser and attempted to hide the fact that the image of it being too short crossed his mind at that moment. Keiran pulled out a pair of braies. "I'll tie them tight on you." She nodded, relieved that she'd be properly covered.

Like he did when he placed her in the dress, he did so gently. The new clothes were on her, and they smelled a little bit like pine. It was relaxing. Keiran pulled the blanket over her. "I just need to organize a few things before joining you. I won't be long." She nodded and was thankful for the warmth of the blanket and new clothes. Soon, he left the room, and she closed her eyes, sleep beginning to take over her from the long day.

Awakening in the morning, her eyes slowly opened due to the sunlight streaming through the window. She was on her right side, and the first sight that greeted her was an empty bed. Perhaps, it was a good thing that she didn't see him sleeping beside her. She had fallen asleep before he came to bed. If their faces were too close together ... (F/n) sighed. Well, maybe, she should use this time at the forge to figure out her feelings.

Hearing movement, she saw that Keiran was tucking a beige shirt into dark brown pants. His black leather boots were on his feet, but she couldn't help but chuckle when she saw his hair. It was naturally messy, but the bed must've made it more so. Bangs hung over his caramel eyes, and strands were sticking up in places. Her laughter, though, caught his attention, and his eyes soon met hers. "Your hair is a bit ..."

Realization hit him, and he smoothed it out. "Yes, well, a proper bed can do that." A small smile touched her lips, and he returned it. "How'd you sleep?"

"Well, I think all things considered." He soon came over and sat beside her on the bed. "But, what do we do for today? Has May left already to look for the magic user?"

"Yes, I went to ask her for some of her clothes, but she wasn't around." He glanced at what she was wearing. "I can cut one of my pairs of pants for you and give you another shirt in the meantime."

"Do you have enough? I don't want to use all of your clothes. I can wear the long dress if needed." She would've suggested cutting it, but it'd be good for her to have it once she received her new limbs. Then, it could fit her properly. And, May's clothes might not fit her. Until she got back, she didn't feel comfortable trying them on and using them. She wanted May's permission first.
