Goddesses Have Feelings Too: Aqua x Reader

A Kind-hearted Stranger

The goddess sobbing and running through the city, was attracting the eyes of passing villagers looking somewhat concerned for their village icon. 

She then comes to a fierce halt as her head hits something hard. It wasn't a wall nor armor, it was... as she looks up, she realizes she has ran into a man's chest. Her cheeks went a tad red noticing he had quite the muscular build (unlike a certain NEET she knew). 

"hey watch it, important goddess coming throu... i mean... sorry" she said as that word is very rarely used in her vocabulary. 

"Oh no you're right I need to watch where I am going" the tall and built man said apologetically. 

She couldn't see what the man looked like, the sun was right behind his head as she had to tilt her head upwards quite a bit. 

"Oh Aqua-sama it's you" the unknown man exclaimed. 

"Huh?" she questioned squinting her foggy sighted eyes. 

She went opposite of the sun and saw the unknown man's face. 

"Oh it's you..." the goddess paused trying to remember the boy's name.

"(Y/N)" the boy stated. 

"Oh yeah (Y/N), I never thanked you for the big help you have been to me" the goddess acknowledged. Then remembering the matter that just took place mere minutes ago, turned to walk away. 

She was gently turned around by the gentleman. You looked at her with concern, another look today unknown to the goddess.

"Hey what's wrong Aqua-sama...are you hurt?" you asked still with the look of concern.

She looked towards the guild house with a look of dread, then looked at the you. She started to tear up again, thinking about reoccurring thoughts.

You looked at her with an unexplained look of care, pulled her gently into a protective hug. With his your left thumb and finger under her chin, your other thumb brushed away the fallen tear from her puffy eye. An intense but quick warmness filled her body, at the practically unknown boy's bold gesture.

"Sorry for beings so forward for a guy you barely know, but I want to help you because..." you paused.

"I hate seeing a beautiful woman like you cry" you mused. 

Her face went completely red at the comment, Kazuma has never called her beautiful before. At least without making a mean comment afterwards or saying that's the only thing going for her.

"O-Okay" she stuttered your beauty, only now realizing how immensely attractive you were. 

"Someone I thought I was close with surprised me" she stated shakily.

"He said some really mean things that broke my heart" she tearfully continued. 

Only now realizing the red mark on her cheek you asked, as your finger glided across the mark "did he hit you?"

"Yeah I didn't expect it, I deserved it... I guess..." she said under her breath.

"No real man should ever strike a woman" you said gritting your teeth.

The goddess looked up appalled at the care of this man she barely knew. she opened her mouth thinking of a way to defend her companion as a green cloaked man came walking towards them.

"Is he the one who hit you" you asked glaring at the figure, and noticing the hurt in her eyes looking at the man.

"Mhhm" she mumbled, as a frown came across her face as she was looking at the ground.

Oh god this chapter sucked, it kind of dragged on I guess. It'll get better by the fourth chapter when the actual romance happens. I know it's always a turn off when a comedic and upbeat anime is dramatic, but just hang in there the fluff will happen soon I promise.
