♕Mask X caring!fem!Reader♕

"Didn't expect that, huuuuuuhhhh?" he asked crazy and played more like the Mask, who everyone knows on the battlefield.

"No.... not at all" I answered with a low voice and was still speechless, as if it happened some seconds ago. But it didn't, because I almost stood here frozen since felt a ton of time.

I actually regretted it afterwards kinda, because my first action leaded to his and his then in turn to pure silence between of us. After these random actions, out of love, we just walked awkwardly next to eachother, like a silly couple with zero knowledge about relationships.
It felt like this, but I just told myself that everything will be alright. After all, each single inkling and octoling needs sometimes their own private time.

This thought was now with the both of us, because no other word came out of my mouth, after I 'thanked' my boyfriend in a weird way, that he loved me back. He said nothing as well and it was just... ugh.

Soon, we arrived at home again, and so we just made a big tour with two stops.

Before we entered it, Mask turned to me  and gave me a thight hug.

He managed to make me speechless again but I didn't hold back to hug him back.

"That's... just a thanks, for caring about me so much. Thank you so much. It's been awhile since I thanked to you, so I thought it might be a good idea to do it again" Mask whispered and explained the whole scenario in such a short time.

I understood and closed my eyes.
But then he had to sneeze so hard, that his mask flew off and hit the ground.

"Woah, are you okay?" I asked quickly, after picking the mask up.
"Y-yeah. I think it got worse" he mumbled unsure, but that sounded not good at all.

I brung him immediately into his room again, and asked like a maid, what he wanted. He said some things and I got the things for him. One after another, with even stuff, which would help against his hay fever. He didn't have to move an inch, because I brung him everything. This service appreciated my boyfriend really deeply and he just feels always so bad, that he could never give everything back, that it would be equal, with helping eachother more or less.
I didn't find that bad tho, because as soon as his fever will get decreased with the power, he could make everything for me as well. But actually, many things would be already possible to do... so I had no idea, why he never started.

Anyway.

After I was done, I sat on a chair, which was right in front of Mask's bed. We were apparently too much outside and this moment, where he was without the Mask belongs for sure to this problem. The best part was, that he just got sick, because his head was glowing really hot.

Some tears were flowing down my cheeks, because it was just horrible, that this happened. I wished so badly that he could be a normal inkling without any problems, but he had... sadly.

Even tho I thought Mask was sleeping, I heard how he slowly moved. As I looked up from the ground, I noticed his look to me.

F***... he saw it...

I looked away but then Mask stood up, leading me inside his bed. I let him move me and he made me speechless again. It was just amazing, how he can react and I was so amazed about the fact that he could surprise me ever again.

We layed next to eachother but with a large gap. I almost flew down the edge but I wanted to change that.

"Why were you slightly crying?" he asked so quietly that I hardly understood him.

"Nothing... important" I lied and turned myself around, that I showed Mask my back. He just sighed and then nothing happened anymore, until I dared to say the truth.

"I'm worried about you, that's all" I grumbled and turned myself back to him with a small smile.

"... you shouldn't be. I'm okay now. Thank you, again... Y/N" he added and smiled as well.

We were so close but the gap was too large for me. I took the initiative and slipped to him very close, that his eyes widened.

"Uhm, don't you want to be a tad away from me?" Mask asked but blushed at the same time very sweetly.

"No.. sweetheart" I responded chilled.

"Why?" he asked.

I thought long, how I could blow him away but then, nothing better came up to my mind, than that, what I'll soon say.

"Y/N? Tell me... why?" he asked again, and thought I didn't hear him.

"I love you. And this way more, than the amount of importance, that I don't want to get sick. I'd be sick... for loving you. I'd fall for you. I just... love you too much" I confessed with slow whispering.

His face flushed and as an answer he could only kiss my lips again. This time we were way longer connected and enjoyed that.

Afterwards, he just added something, before he fell asleep out of nothing.

"I love you... too, Y... /N.."
