Goblin Slayer x Reader One Shots

{love}

Dawn brushed against the deep evergreen and streams throughout the vast mountain range glistened in the morning light. You awoke to the sound of a family of sparrows singing happily to the world. You turned to face the other side of your soft mattress, which, unsurprisingly, the other half was empty. 'I should probably get up as well.' You grinned as you thought to yourself.

You stretched to the ceiling, satisfied with the ample amount of time you've slept. You examined your reflection from your mirror in dismay. Your hair was a total disaster, most likely because Goblin Slayer entangled his large fingers through it the night before. (Don't get any ideas)
After several minutes of brushing through tangle after tangle, you set your brush down and exited your bedroom.

You peeked your head in the kitchen area and there was your lover with his back turned. You inhaled the heavenly aroma from where you stood. Based on the smell, he was making f/b, causing your mouth to water. You stealthily tip-toed behind the man and instantly wrapped your arms around his torso. Of course, you didn't get the reaction you wanted from him, nor did you expect to. Slayer turned to face you, his silvery ash hair masking his eyes. You were the only person he normally showed his face to, which made you feel truly special.

"Goodmorning," he spoke lovingly as he ruffled your hair. "Morning," you yawned as you buried your face in his chest. "Slept well?" he asked as he inhaled your scent. You nodded. "I did actually, did you?" He hmned' in response and continued cooking the delicious dish.

It was almost passed noon and Slayer decided not to scout for goblin quests, which was surprising, to say the least. "I think I just want to relax today," he said as he laid in the tall spring grass. You had a difficult time registering 'him' and 'relax' but you giggled to yourself and eventually lied down next to him.

Minutes passed, though it felt like an eternity. Time always felt a little slower when you were with him. "Hey," he said interrupting your thoughts. You positioned your body where you were on your side. "What is it?" He was quiet for a moment, at first you thought he was merely talking in his sleep when he turned on his side as well. "Tell me you love me." You inhaled sharply. "Why?" you asked barely above a whisper. "Just say it. Please." You felt instant heat rise to your cheeks. Never has he acted so..vulnerable.

Your lips quivered. Why were you just now getting anxious? You've never told the man those words before, but it couldn't be that hard, right? "I-I love... haha, I'm sorry, I don't know why I feel so nervous," you laughed timidly as you went into a sitting position. He followed your actions and sat crisscrossed in front of you. "It's alright, you don't have to. I apologize for putting you on the spot like that. I just needed to hear it in case of- you know.." He avoided your gaze, disappointed. A sudden wave of confidence came over you and in seconds, you delicately touched both sides of his jawline and whispered "I love you,"  in his ear before caressing his slightly chapped lips with your own.

Mini Epilogue

The two of you were suddenly interrupted by a low growling sound. "Goblins?" Slayer panicked as he reached for the hilt of his sword. You immediately stopped him and rubbed the back of your neck, embarrassed. "My bad, that was my stomach" you laughed awkwardly. The man removed his hand from his scabbard and held it over his mouth, almost to stop himself from having a laughing fit."He-Hey! What's so funny?" you blushed while elbowing his arm roughly. He stood from where he sat, then grabbed your hand to where you were forced to stand as well. "Let's go back. I'll make us lunch," he said while forming a soft smile. You nodded happily and followed him, with your hand still clasped in his.

(quick question: do any of you ever find ladybugs on your ceiling because there's at least a dozen crawling above my head right now..)
