His Mate and Goddess?! Sesshomaru X Chubby OFC

Traditional Clothing?!

Looking in the mirror she felt herself deflate at what she saw. The robes were beautiful do not get her wrong. But, she did not see why she had to wear them. She did not have the frame small enough to do the outfit any justice. It just made her look and feel like an overstuffed dumpling. 

With a sigh she grabbed her fan, that matched the robes, and made her way out of the room. Sliding on her Geta. Heading out to meet the rest of the group she felt her cheeks alight with embarrassment when anyone even glanced her way. It got so bad, her anxiety, she began to hide behind poles, wagons, even horses to the point where when she turned around she stumbled into a large chest. Gasping she paused as she looked up meeting Sesshomaru's intense gaze.  

"Lord Sesshomaru! You startled me." She said as she had one hand over her chest, where her heart beat rapidly. 

"Never mind that. Who is following you?" His voice was deep and had a hint of danger in it which made goosebumps appear on her skin. 

"Wh..what? No one is following me do not be ridiculous." She waved off his worries as she looked around to see who was all watching them. In particular, her. 

At her words his brows furrowed a bit as he studied her. "Then why were you hiding behind everything as if someone was instead of just walking down the road normal?" He asked as his gaze did not waver. 

Freezing where she stood her mind went blank. She did not expect him to be one to watch her as she made her way to meet everyone. Then again, she should know better sense that seemed to be his main hobby. "I..I am sure I do not know what you mean. Come on, we are going to be late." She walked around him without giving him a chance to respond. Walking on as best as she could, she felt his eyes on her as she walked in front of him. 

Of course he followed her. With the way she was dressed he kept his eyes on her and his senses alert as he glared at any other male that even glanced at her. Walking so he was a close to her, without bumping into one another, he staid  by her side the entire night. 

Once the celebration was over, he walked her home despite her assuring him that he did not need to. Once they arrived to her place he placed his hand on her door so she could not open it yet. He wanted answers and he was going to get them. 

"Now will you tell me why you were hiding behind every object on the way to everyone? And do not tell me you weren't. I watched you and i know when someone is trying to hide." His voice was low and soft but hard as he was not going to leave until she told him the truth. What he heard next was unexpected to hear from her. Sniffling. She was crying. His tough, hard as nails mate was crying. Feeling himself soften, a soft rumble from his chest as he brought his pother hand up to turn her towards him. 

"Mate. Tell me what is wrong. I cannot help you or fix it if I do not know what has upset you." He said as he spoke in his soft voice that he only reserved for her. When she glanced up at him he felt his chest tighten as he saw the broken look in her large hazel eyes. Without speaking she took a deep breath and took his hand before leading him into her home and towards the cushions on the floor by the fire place.

Sitting down she tried to think of how to put everything into words. Should she explain in detail or should she just put it bluntly. After some deliberating in her mind she took a breath as she fiddled with her fingers. 

"It...it's my robes." She said simple wiping her eyes. "They are beautiful do not get me wrong but, I....I do not d..do them any good." She stuttered as more tears spilled down her chubby cheeks. 

Now Sesshomaru was not used to the human worries or anything. However, he knew what she was saying. He had watched Kagome and Inuyasha enough to know what his mate was talking about. Without hesitation he reached out and pulled her into his chest into a hug. More soft rumbling coming from his chest as he wanted to relax and calm her down. one hand resting on her lower back as the other rubbed her back softly. "I think, the robes do not do you justice. There is nothing in this world that could compare to your beauty. I could not have asked for a more beautiful, strong, caring mate to be by my side and I yours." His deep voice spoke barely above a whisper as he spoke what he felt and believed. 

Wide eyed she could not believe what was happening. Sesshomaru was hugging her. And not just that, he told her she was beautiful, more so than the robes she wore that she believed to be gorgeous. Without thinking she buried her face into his chest as she let herself cry. Never had someone been so kind or gentle with her or compliment her so in her life.  

The rest of that night she spent resting in Sesshomaru's arms after she had cried herself into a slumber. And not once did he think it was a waste of his time. He had her in his arms, she was safe, and she finally knew how he felt about her beyond her just being his fated mate.
