Pillow Search (Escargot x Reader)

Requested by : Me! 

Relaxing in the lounge room after another tiring working day, you were about to continue staring blankly at the ceiling until someone walked by the entrance.

Tilting your head over the arm of the couch, you watched as Escargot dragged his shell by and his favorite pillow-

Wait, his favorite pillow wasn't in his hand at all.

"Escargot, is something wrong?" You called out to him and looked worried. Escargot was always clutching on to his pillow wherever he goes. Seeing him without it was just weird. He heard you and turned back around to peek his head into the lounge room.

"Yes, something's wrong, Master Attendant. Have you seen my pillow anywhere?" He asked you, eyes scanning the room. "Better yet... have you seen one of Sanma's cats?"

Something tells you that maybe the cat took his pillow.

"Not really. I'll tell you if I do see it though. You should go and check with Sanma, maybe he knows," You told him with an encouraging smile on your lips.

He let out a yawn before he started to head towards the stairs, "Thank you, Master Attendant. Enjoy the rest of your evening."

Just as he left, you sat up on the couch and decided to check around the lounge room. Sanma's cats were also known to sleep in quiet places. And the lounge was quiet now.

Peeking over the couch, who do you see curled up on a familiar looking pillow? Why it's a cat that belongs to Sanma. You let out a soft sigh before moving off the couch. You had to take this pillow back for Escargot.

"Go on, shoo. Next time don't steal someone else's pillow," You shooed the cat away. It meowed up at you before scampering on out of the lounge. "I should probably return this to Escargot," you said out loud to yourself.

Holding the pillow close to your chest, you nuzzled your face against it. You could see why Escargot loved this pillow a lot.

It smelled of fresh herbs and it was as soft as cotton, you didn't even make it to the entrance of the lounge room. Instead, you ended up getting back on the couch. With the pillow held tightly to your chest, you fell asleep.

Escargot let out a tired sigh as he climbed back up the stairs. He had found Sanma and his cats, but none of them had his precious pillow. "Master Attendant, Sanma didn't..."

He trailed off as he walked into the lounge room. You were fast asleep on the couch, the pillow still held tightly. Escargot silently tip-toed his way over to you and kneeled by your side. "They're knocked out," he said to himself before he proceeded to try and extract the pillow from your hug.

His tries were all in vain as you never once moved or let go of the pillow. With a defeated sigh, he got back up. "Then, I guess I'll have to do this." He gently nudged you further onto the couch as he lied down next to you. The Couch was large enough for two people.

He wrapped his arms around your waist and shoulders, pulling you close to him. "I'll apologize when I wake up," he mumbled out tiredly as he rested his head on top of yours. He sniffed your hair and had a gentle smile on his lips,

Maybe he should let you keep his pillow but in return, you had to be his pillow instead~
