Sesshoumaru's Ningen Mate (Sesshoumaru x reader)

The Love of a Father

They say he has no emotions. They say his eyes are cold as the coldest night of winter. They say his voice is hard like the steel demon swords are made of. They say he cannot feel love. You know better, and you look at the child in your arms.

You feel the grass as Sesshomaru lands with you in the meadow and gently sets you down beside him. You see butterflies fluttering past you, and you see them landing on flowers that move gently in the wind. You hear the bees buzzing, and you watch as they fly busily across the meadow to collect flower pollen. Then the sound of a gurgling brook reaches your ear and you turn in the direction where, between reeds and tall grass, you see a lake with a beautiful glittering water surface.

You feel how the little arms and hands that have been holding on to your neck are beginning to fall away from you. A round face with a little snub nose looks out of curious eyes to the ground at your feet and watches a small iridescent beetle crawling slowly over a blade of grass. Soft ears, which are peeking out between white hair, twitch with joyful excitement, and you feel your child in your arms becoming restless. You know your pup wants to be closer to the beetle, so you squat down and you set your pup down in front of you.

You hold your pup's hand as it takes two small steps forward, watching in fascination the beetle climbing to the top of the blade of grass. You hear a cheerful shriek, and you smile as you watch the beetle crawling carelessly up the long blade of grass, while giving your pup so much joy.

The beetle finally reaches the top, where it nibbles at the blade of grass and then flies away, and immediately you hear your child gurgling joyfully and clapping its hands together happily. You know that your child loves to explore, and shortly after it is stomping across the meadow and looking at the flowers, watching the bees, butterflies, while stopping in front of a spider web with a fat spider in the center waiting for prey. Then your child pulls you further to an anthill, observing how ants carry small leaves to their home, and your child is always holding your hand while it bravely explores its surroundings.

Then your child leads you to Sesshōmaru who is sitting under a tree, watching you and the pup. Sesshōmaru's face looks relaxed. He has one foot bent and the other outstretched. Your child walks to him and plops down beside him. You let go of your child's hand, and you see your pup picking up a small twig. It immediately puts it in its mouth and starts gnawing it with its first teeth.

You sit next to Sesshōmaru and you lean your back against the tree behind you. You let your gaze wander across the meadow, and you notice that the sun is low. It won't be long before it disappears behind the mountains. You enjoy the peace that surrounds you. You know that you, Sesshōmaru, and your child are the only ones here to enjoy the last rays of the sun. As a human you cannot feel it, but you know that Sesshōmaru's yōki and his scent is perceived by other demons far beyond the meadow, and every demon will take a wide berth around you, your mate and your pup.

You move closer to Sesshōmaru, and you lay your head on his shoulder while your eyes are on your child, watching it play with the branch. Your joy, your sunshine, you think, your everything. Your child is the very spitting image of Sesshōmaru, you think. Like Sesshōmaru it got a blue crescent moon on its forehead, magenta eyelids and magenta stripes on both cheeks and wrists. But the smile and laughter of your child resembles you, Kagome told you when you visited Rin and Inuyasha's pack a few weeks ago. You laughed when you heard her mentioning it because how is there a way to compare your laugh with that of Sesshōmaru.

You feel Sesshōmaru's arm around you, and Sesshōmaru pulls you closer. Your child looks up and watches the two of you, then you hear it squeaking in delight. Your pup crawls towards Sesshōmaru and tries to climb up its father's chest, only to slip off and land on its bottom in the grass.
