Always (1)
Pairing/s: William Vangeance X Reader
Warning/s: None
Scenario: Where the reader is having a bad day and their partner tries to comfort them
A/N: Hello! This is Part ONE which is basically William's! I'll also make one for Fuegoleon, Nozel, Yami and Julius oWO
The usually bright and sunny Clover Kingdom was now covered in dark clouds pouring an enormous amount of water onto its vast lands, nearly overflowing the water reservoirs and dams.
If the weather wasn't already a dead giveaway of the current state of one particular squadmate in their brigade, then perhaps the agitated pacing of their Captain from every single inch of the base was.
"Y/N must be in a really bad mood." Mimosa began, pertaining to the magic of their fellow member, "Do you think she got lost?" she asked worriedly to her friends who sat beside her, watching the droplets of water drizzle along the roof and down to the leaves.
Langris crossed both of his arms, "That's impossible. She always goes there so it wouldn't make sense if she did."
Klaus nodded in agreement, pushing back his glasses before adding a comment of his own, "Exactly. David even toured her around the area."
Letoile, along with Langris and Alecdora, rolled their eyes as they heard the bespectacled man's argument.
"Hey, I saw what you three did! What's with eye roll!?" David basically cried, pointing an accusing finger at the three of them.
"No offence, but you're not the most trustworthy person out there." Yuno nonchalantly said as the others hummed in agreement.
"Correction, That statement was meant to be taken as offence." Alecdora added, earning eager nods from the members of the Golden Dawn.
"WHAT!? How could you all do this to me-"
His sentence was cut short when a soaked Y/N entered the premises of their base. Her mana was low, barely noticeable, and with her rapid breaths reaching their ears, they couldn't help but subconsciously run to her.
But they knew better than that, as their captain already dashed out of his office and opened both of his arms to hug her frail figure that shivered under the touch of his warmth.
"I'm s-sorry, I just had a r-really rough day..." she exhaled tiredly, trembling while trying to push him away to avoid the coldness and water from transferring to William's clothes.
Instead of doing so, Vangeance embraces her even tighter and uses his cape to cover her entire body, "It's alright, love. But first, let's get you dried up, alright?" the girl weakly nodded in reply
The two went past the rest of the Golden Dawn, William turning his head for a mere second to them, acknowledging their worried glances but immediately returned his gaze at her.
After both of them entered William's room, the masked man wasted no time and went straight for his wardrobe to take out Y/N's spare clothes and a towel before running the water for them in the bathroom.
Once he's finished, he slowly walked towards her figure and sat beside them, "Would you prefer it if you were to bathe on your own, or is my company needed?" he asked, words laced in concern the longer he stared at her.
"A-Alone." despite the lack of response, Vangeance nodded obediently and escorted her near the bathroom before she closed the door in front of him.
Picking up the pace, he then runs towards the table near the window and opens the first drawer. Frowning at the empty sight, he bolts out of his room and was surprised at the presence of the rest of the Golden Dawn, holding out two hot cups of coffee on one tray, and the other with tea.
"We figured you'd give Y/N-senpai some so we made some already, Captain Vangeance." Mimosa informed him, who could only smile at the thought of his members caring this much for the person he too treasures the most.
"Thank you." William mouthed, his eyes already expressing much of his gratitude to them before they closed the door for him.
On cue, Y/N went out of the bathroom with a towel still wrapped around her head. The albino-haired captain chuckled lightly, removing his mask and placing it on a nearby table as he made his way to her.
"Tea or coffee?" he inquired, but alas, there was no reply.
William kneeled in front of her, cupping her face so that she could meet his eyes. But just the vision of her whose eyes were drained from the sparkle and life it used to have made his stomach twist and turn.
Seeing his beloved in such a state broke his heart that all he wanted to do was wrap his arms around them and keep her safe in his embrace for as long as he could.
He was willing to do anything if it means seeing the person he loved the most smile again, "Would you like to discuss it?" he asked softly, trying not to sound as if he was prying, but not sounding uninterested either.
Y/N shook her head, sniffling in place before facing him, "I just want a hug right now... please." William did as he was told, cautiously placing his arms around her body, drawing circles behind her as she sobbed against his chest.
"You know well that there is no need for you to plead when asking for anything from me, my love." he uttered silently, pulling her body closer to him.
"I-I know," she said, pulling back from the hug to face him, "I just feel like a nuisance right now. I m-made everyone worried for nothing. I'm really sorry W-Wil," Vangeance gently placed both of his hands on her cheek, caressing them ever so slightly before placing a kiss on her forehead.
"Do not apologize for you are never a nuisance. I won't force whatever it is that may be causing you to feel this way, but do know that my love is not weak and that I'll never get tired of you. I'll always be here for you whenever you may need me. Understood?"
"Ahh," she sighed, "I love you." Y/N buried her face to his chest, muffling the sound of her voice due to the embarrassment of even questioning his love for her.
"I love you more, darling. Now, shall I dry your hair for you, or do you wish to stay like this for a while?" the girl only hummed in reply, making William chuckle in place as he kissed the crown of her hair.
