Reaper x female reader

You were currently lounging in your apartment, reading one of your favorite books. Today was your day off and you were going to use this time to the best of your ability. You carefully mark your place and stand up when suddenly your front door opened and slammed closed, causing you to jump.

You watched your grumpy boyfriend walk past you to sit at the couch and telling by the flow of his signature black smoke, he was in a mood. You sit next to him and scoot yourself right against his side.

"Hey Reaper, what is the matter?" You ask gently. He only grunted in response and sunk further into the couch. You sighed and thought of the only way to get him open up; cuddle him until he speaks. You crawl onto his lap and stare at his mask. Carefully you pulled off his hood and slowly pull off his white mask, revealing his some-what solid face. His red eyes were swimming with sadness as they bore back into yours. "Oh Gabriel, why are you upset?"

"I-" He stopped himself before finally letting himself open up. "How can you love a monster like me?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You are looking at me right now yet you still look at me with love. Why are you still with a freak like me?" His words broke your heart. "I am far from anything good so I have to ask why someone as beautiful as you."

"Gabe, I love you for you. Yes, you are very rough around the edges but I like you. Also your appearance doesn't bother me, I find you very attractive." You started playing with his hair and you could tell it was calming him down; there was less smoke coming from him and he was more recognizable. You smile as Reaper leaned his head into your hand as you continued running your fingers through his hair. "Do you feel better now?"

"Hmmm yeah..." He muttered, his eyes closed shut.

"Good, you deserve happiness through all your pain."

"Thank you (Y/N). You're too good for me."

"You're welcome, Reaper. And I am just here for you, like you are for me. We are in this together." He gave a deep hum in response.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Gabe."
