Work Text:
You heard the door click from your spot on the couch and the tap of boots shaking snow. Quickly you hopped up and fluffed up the pillows before skipping to the entryway.
“Welcome home, old man,” you teased placing a kiss on your lover’s head while he was hunched down uniting his boots.
“Haha, yeah I’m home kid.” Giran chuckled and shoved off his boots.
“How was work?” You wrapped your arms around him once he was up. He returned your embrace with a kiss to your hairline.
“It was good. All I had to do was drop off the presents for the kids.”
You looked up at him, resting your chin on his chest. “They doing good? They won’t be lonely?”
“They’ve got each other. And Kurogiri and Compress will keep them in line.” He shrugs “Though maybe we can swing by later tonight?”
You smile and nod “I think that would be a good idea.”
The two of you make your way back into your shared apartment. You’d spent the past few weeks prepping for the holiday, lights were strung up over the balcony and the tree had been a joint effort but your old man was a great help, even if he complained about his back for the next week.
Giran heads to the bedroom saying he’s going to change and you head back into the living room. Once you’re sure he can’t hear you, you quickly reach under the couch to find the small gift you’d hidden. Though of course, you get your arm stuck under the couch.
“Well, well.” Giran drawls as he comes back in. “Is this my present?”
You huff a laugh. “No, darling but if you could help me get unstuck I’ll have your present for you,”
“I don’t know. I kinda like you like this honey,” he kneels behind you and grinds his hips into your ass. “Mm, yeah I think this is just the perfect gift for me.”
You have to admit that it’s hot, but all this can wait for later! You want to at least give him his real present first.
“Giran,” you say in your sternest voice. “I promise, you’ll be able to blow my back out later but can you please help me now?”
He laughs heartily and it makes your heart swell, you do love to hear him laugh. “Sure, kid, hold on.”
You two agree that he’s going to lift the front of the couch and you just have to slip your arm out quickly. You manage to do it and roll away from the couch holding the present close to you. Still kneeling, Giran quirks an eyebrow at you before getting up and settling on the couch. He pats his lap for you to come to join him and you grin feeling a blush rise.
You shuffle over to him and curl yourself and his present into him. Your eyes meet and you both let out a soft chuckle. He places a soft, chaste kiss on your lips and you moan into his mouth. He chuckles as he pulls back.
“What happened to opening presents first?”
You roll your eyes and hand off the small box you’d been cuddling to your chest. At the same time, he hands you a long rectangular box. Your eyes fly to his and you see him grinning.
“Don’t say anything, just open it.”
You can feel your blush get even more intense but you comply and peel the wrapping paper away. You’re greeted with a gold box and lifting the lid reveals a golden braided chain that has your eyes welling up with tears.
“It ain’t a ring or anything—”
You cut him off with a kiss, deepening it as he pulls you closer. You only break the kiss to straddle his hips. “I love it. I love you.” You say hoping he can feel all the love in your heart you have for him.
There are few times you’ve ever seen your lover with a blush. The one spreading across his face now puts his rose colored eyes to shame.
“I love you too, kid..” he takes the necklace from the box and drapes it around your neck before clasping it closed.
You wipe your eyes and beam up at him. The weight of the necklace feels like a promise that doesn’t need to be said aloud but is felt between you two.
“Now my gift! It’s not much but I tried.” You point to the small square box shyly.
He gives your forehead a quick kiss before opening the package. He removes the wrapping and recognizes the forest green Rolex box. “Oh damn, you didn’t have to do this kid.”
“‘Don’t say anything, just open it', right?” You tease. You know he hates expensive gifts from you because he’s supposed to take care of you, according to him, but you couldn’t help yourself with this.
He opens the Rolex box and whistles, the gold watch gleams in the light and you can’t help the swell of pride that fills your chest. He takes it out of the box to examine the watch and you wait with bated breath as he turns the watch over.
Giran isn’t a sentimental man but ever since he met you things have changed. You wake him up with a smile, you put him to sleep with kisses. In all his years he never thought he could find love again, but there you were, some bright shining light that made an old man believe again.
When he turned the watch over the inscription you had done warmed a heart cold from years of violence and calculated business.
Anywhere, anytime
For now and into infinity
I will always love you
His pink eyes glossed over and he looked at you with so much you felt your heart would burst.
“I will always love you,” he said before capturing your lips in a passionate kiss.
When you both pulled away, you rested your forehead on his and he pulled you as close as possible.
“And I will always love you Kagero.”
