Feeling kind of sad and you’re more than welcome to ignore this but can I get #16 with Gladio?

Gladio x Reader: 16. “Just
talk to me.”

Gladio
knows that look on your face. He recognizes the worry pulling the corners of your
lips into a frown, the slump of your shoulders, the eyes searching the walls,
looking completely lost.

He lets you
crawl next to him at your pace as he pretends to be reading his book, waiting.
His warmth always pulls you closer, both comforting and tempting. The shawl on
your shoulders is soft and smells like you. He lifts his arm, so you have no
other choice but to accept his silent invitation.

You lay
your head against his heart, listening to the strong, even beats. Gladio’s hand
travels absent-mindedly across your shoulders, both warming and leaving ripples
of shivers in the wake of the careful touch.

When you
sigh wistfully, he finally speaks. The deep bass of his voice pleasantly
rumbles against your cheek. The tone is soft, almost cooing.

“Just talk
to me.”

You mumble
something incoherent and nuzzle your face into his shirt. He smells like
safety, like love and warmth. You rise and fall with Gladio’s deep breath.

“In a bit,”
you murmur and pull up your shawl to better cover your shoulders. For now, you
have all you need to feel better.
