"My Beloved Lion King" - Tsukasa x Reader

Tsukasa was currently trying his best to comfort his crying s/o. Why was s/o bawling, you ask? Well, they had just finished watching the movie 'The Lion King' together.

He knew s/o was an emotional person and got teary-eyed easily. So he wasn't surprised when they started crying at the end.

"Tsukasa..." they whined as they snuggled closer to his chest. "That was so sad.." they kept blubbering incoherent things. "S/o... it's only a movie," he said in a soothing voice as he caressed his s/o's hair.

"Y-yea but, it was still realllyyy saddd!!" they mumbled as their grip on his shirt tightened.

"Yes, it was indeed quite sad.." he said, expecting a response from s/o. He peered down and saw that they were fast asleep. The crying must have tired them out. Tsukasa's face softened as he tangled his fingers in s/o's hair and picked them up bridal style, carrying them to their room.

A few days later, when s/o and Tsukasa were having lunch on the school rooftop. "Here's your bento with all your favorites, Tsuka!" s/o smiled as she sat down next to him and handed him their home-cooked bento.

"Thank you, s/o," he smiled as he opened it.

"No problem, Lion King!"

Tsukasa paused opening his bento. "Lion King?" he said in a questioning but amused voice.

"Yea, it's your new nickname!"

Tsukasa was quite interested in s/o's unusual choice of nicknames. "How so?"

"You want to know? Haha, of course you do! So, it's because you're a lion!!"

"Me?"

"Yes you! You're strong as a lion - no you're stronger than one! And you're also courageous and brave, really kind and sweet, and you're also so-"

Tsukasa smiled as he let s/o ramble on, munching on the delicious food they had made for him. He didn't know how long they'd ramble on about how much they loved him, but he really did love them so much.

For as long as he could remember, s/o would call him "Lion King." He found it quite endearing and cute. Many times they'd use to when he slightly scolded them for doing something dumb. "Yea, yea, I get it, Lion King," s/o would say with a pout on their face.

Sometimes, they'd call him "Lion-chan" when they were too tired to say anything else. The last time he heard them say it was 3,700 years ago, when he complimented them on the new dish they made for him. "I knew you'd like it Lion King!"

His throat felt dry as he saw Mirai and s/o's stone bodies. Senku poured the revival fluid on them and his heart beat as the stone started to break off. Mirai was the first one to say something, then he locked eyes with s/o. "

"Six.. no. Thousands and thousands of years.. Mirai.. s/o," he embraced both of them in a hug.

"Tsukasa.." s/o started as they sent him a grin. "I missed you, my lovely Lion King.."

Tsukasa felt his heart squeeze as all of the memories came rushing back to him. Oh, how many years it's been..

A few days later, s/o was by his side, carefully combing his hair as he laid down. The empty bowl sat on the ledge close to them. S/o already knew what was going to happen.

"S/o, I'm sorry. You just got to see me again and-"

S/o pressed their finger to his lips. "Don't apologize, it's not your fault. It's the only way you can survive for now."

Senku entered the room, unsure of what to do. "Are you guys ready now or.."

"Yes," s/o said in a choked voice. Senku wordlessly nodded.

"S/o.. I promise I'll come back.."

"Yea, yea, I'll always be waiting for you, my beloved Lion King," s/o said as they planted a kiss on his lips.

As he could feel Senku putting him into cryosleep, he swore that he would live so he can hear them call him Lion King again.
