My Hot Roommate. {Sabo x Reader}

Date Night.

"I truly love how we're having our first date after marriage." The semi-serious sarcasm in your tone only draws a chuckle from your blonde.

The cutie shovelling a big forkful of food into his mouth and eating it unhealthily fast but still trying to be discreet about it by hiding his lips with his hand. 

You find that quirk of his adorable though, him and his brothers all eat this way - with the exception of Thatch and possibly Marco.  

A grin breaking out across his handsome face once his food had been swallowed, his orbs boring into yours. "We're a pretty backward couple, huh~?" His voice is essentially a chuckle as he leans back in his seat, eyes scanning the busy restaurant. 

This place is so beautiful but also has a down-to-earth vibe to it, many of the guests are cheerful, drunk and loud but pleasant and not at all judgemental. 

You and Sabo had seated yourselves close to the big bay windows, there's a large colourful fountain outside, spraying water in all different directions and it has a real tendency to mesmerise you.

Sabo finishing up his meal first as usual, but he tells you not to rush your own, claiming he doesn't want you to make yourself sick as he scrolls through his phone.

"How long have you liked me?" The sudden question almost has you choking on your grub, your attention snapping toward your husband as you subtly try to clear your throat, earning an apologetic smile in return. "Sorry, I was just curious!"

A bit of warning next time, man!

"N-Not at all, you have a right to ask..." Slowly collecting yourself as you straighten up in your seat, you frown thoughtfully. "Honestly? I started liking you shortly after you had scolded Ace for rejecting me so harshly back in Elementary. I think it turned into a crush the more I got to know you and...well, developed."

The adorable blonde is now staring at you from across the table all wide-eyed with a pale blush dusting his cheeks. "Wow..." Is all he gasps, his blush only deepening as he nervously rubs the back of his neck. "That's a long time ago, I forgot you liked Ace once..."

Once! Not anymore!

"And you?" Your question causing Sabo to hum as he tilts his head to the side curiously. "How long have you liked me?" Admittedly, at this point you're just taking revenge at him for putting you on the spot.

A smirk creeping across your face when the blonde pinches lips together nervously, that dark blush never wavering, honestly he's just far too adorable. 

"It was pretty gradual, like your feelings." He explains shyly, a sheepish chuckle in his tone and his gaze now avoiding yours, focusing on the table instead. "I realized it was more than just a crush in high school but never felt confident enough to do anything about it....I thought I wasn't good enough..." 

Well, that makes two of us.

"Chicken~!" You playfully insult the blonde as you pluck a fry from your plate and throw it him, although much to your surprise, he manages to catch it between his teeth before devouring it within seconds.

Damn, those reflexes! He's just like his brothers!

"I know, I know. I hope I've made it up to you now though!" The blonde cheerfully beams as he grabs another fry from your plate. "Here, see if you can catch it too~!" 

Of cour--Wait, catch what?

You watch as he throws the fry, managing to dip yourself perfectly in line with it but unfortunately the food just bounces right off your lips, making your lover chuckle.
