Gladio x Reader Drabble: Scent

ugo-the-nerd:

This just came to me, lying awake yesterday night, trying to fall asleep when my mind just goes everywhere but not into standby mode.

Using his first day off in ages
together properly, you and Gladio decided to spent the morning lazily
in bed and in each others arms. You snuggled up closer and buried your
face into his warm chest, quite soundly inhaling his scent, so you
won’t forget it for the next few lonely weeks without him.

Gladio was stroking your back in slow,
tender motions as he heared you sniffle.

„How do I smell babe?“, you could
practically hear him smirk without having to take a look upwards. You
pondered for a moment and gave a muffled answer into his shirt.
„…Manly?“

He let out a hearty giggle and quirked
an eyebrow. „Hairy and sweaty?“

You gave him a playful slap on the
shoulder. „No, you big doofus… I don’t know. It just smells like
you. It makes me feel cozy, at home and protected.“

Gladio kissed your temple
affectionately and you returned the gesture by giving him a kiss to
his exposed collar bone.

„That’s the sweetest compliment
someone has ever given me yet…I mean, besides telling me that I’m
awfully handsome.“

„Which was also me.“ you replied in
a deadpan tone.

„See? You always know what I’d like
to hear.“

„Only because you are simple to
please…in most cases.“ You could feel your cheeks grow hotter
after finishing that sentence.

„No, only cause YOU are everything I
need to be content, babe.“

Gladio gave a tight squeeze, peppering
your head and cheeks with butterfly kisses, making you giggle in the
process.

„That goes for me as well, Gladdy.“


I have  a thing for scents, it’s one of the most important aspects for me probably, since my nose is so sensitive to smells and scents of any kind.

What do you think Gladio or the other Bro’s would smell like? Would love to hear it in the comments or if it’s longer, just drop by in my Inbox!

(My) Gladio, probably smells a bit sweaty (when back from a run, practice or whatever intense stuff he has been doing. (And as prolly every girl, or guy, madly in love with their man, the smell of sweat is rather intoxicating in a lot of cases, rather than putting you off.)

A faint smell of earth and/or pine. Like a forest after rain. Fresh.
Maybe even a minty scent from an aftershave.
(I just love minty scents, ahem.)
