Re:Zero (X reader one shot!)

Ram x Reader

Second person P.O.V

"I will buy you a cat." 

"W-what Ram, you don't have to!" The pink haired girl's face is entirely serious. You were sitting together silently, some may call it hanging out, but you never know with Ram. You were flicking through a book you had politely picked up from her desk. It was filled with cats which is what caught your interest in the first place, then Ram suddenly spoke up.

"But you like cats." Her expression doesn't change from her usual one as I feel blush creep up my cheeks.

"But you still don't have to... W-we'd have to go to the capital and that's more than a day of travelling!" You laugh awkwardly, hoping you'd convinced her but she just stands up, brushing out her skirt.

"Then we should leave now. Please collect your things and meet me at the front door." She stands and you stand with her attempting to protest again. She opens the door, gesturing for you to go prepare and you sigh, hanging your head and placing the book on her desk. 

"You can keep it." She looks away bashfully, and you probably would have noticed the light blush dusting her cheeks if it wasn't for how well it blended with her hair. You nod, shyly picking up the book again and holding it to your chest as you leave her room.

"Please be quick." She says, then closes the door so she can get ready as well. You head down to your own room and pack a bag of the usual things you'd bring with you to go place, as well extra clothes. You check your outfit and decide it looks okay enough so you head to the front door to meet Ram. She's already waiting there and she turns when she sees you, opening the large door, mostly with magic and leading you out.

"I have food for us." She says quietly and you nod.

You would make the journey by land dragon and you were a bit nervous to spend around 48 hours with your crush alone... You had had feelings for her since you laid eyes on her but couldn't bring yourself to tell her. She was so very emotionless and focused, no doubt your romantic attention would just be burden. You push the fluttery feeling in your stomach down as you climb into the cart next to her. You put your bag in the back of the cart and play with your fingers nervously, refusing to look at her as the land dragon begins moving.

The sun had begun to set, and despite how well Ram can hide her inner state, Ram's posture had started to sage a bit. She was clearly very tired... 

"Ram let me take over, you should rest." She looks at you from the corner of her eye.

"Are you sure..?"

"Yes." She nods and hands you the reins as you focus in on the land dragon. Ram sighs softly, so quiet almost don't pick it up. She leans against you, her head resting on her shoulder and her hair flowing slightly in the soft evening breeze. Despite the cold your cheeks heat up, trying not to pay to much attention to the cute girl sleeping on you. A smile tugs your lips when you glance at her out of the corner of your eye, her eyes closed and her breathing soft. You check the land dragon before reaching behind you and fetching the blanket kept in the back of the cart, pull in over her shoulders as best you can while keeping a hand on the reins. She smiles lightly in her sleep and snuggles into your warmth, your heart skipping a beat.

Soon you have to pull over for the night. You set up the tents in the back of the cart and consider waking Ram for food but she was sleeping so peacefully. You carry her into a tent and lay her on a separate thin futon on the floor, laying your own tired body on the other and slowly drifting to sleep.

You wake to a gentle hand stroking your shoulder.

"(Y/N) it is morning, we should continue our journey." You nod and yawn, sitting up as you wake yourself up. Both of you get changed into the spare clothes you brought, though you find a bush to hind behind to change to give Ram privacy. You come back to the small camp and find Ram getting out the food she had brought. She prepares it quickly and you both finish as soon as you can to be on your way. Ram gestures to a bowl of water near her.
