Work Text:
in rimuru’s rather dull life there isn’t a lot to look forward to. he works as the ceo of a massive corporation, spending his days discussing various business tactics in meetings with important and not-so important people.. the only highlight of his day is when he returns back home to his beloved, extremely loving husband, diablo.
he stumbled into the apartment, shutting the door behind him. rimuru was tired and ready to go to bed at this point, but someone else thought otherwise.
rimuru felt his bag get taken away and his jacket get taken off, and when he looked up he met the gaze of diablo, who was standing in front of him with a slightly disappointed expression. but this disappointment didn’t prevent diablo from sighing before he leant down and pressed a gentle kiss onto rimuru’s lips. “welcome home, dear.”
the voice was so soft it relaxed rimuru immediately as he lazily embraced diablo, making the other a bit flustered as he scurried to scoop rimuru up. "another tough day at work?" diablo asked in a gentle voice while carrying rimuru into the living room where he set him down onto the couch. rimuru only gave him a nod, grabbing his husband by the collar and pulling him down for another kiss which was immediately reciprocated, the couple taking a moment to kiss and relax in each other's arms.
eventually, though, diablo pulled away, pushing rimuru's bangs out of his face to get a better look at it. "i'll finish up dinner, okay? don't get too carried away.." he murmured, pressing another kiss onto rimuru's forehead before rimuru had nodded in response. "what's for dinner?" he asked, sitting up on the couch and looking over at diablo who had already moved back to the kitchen, checking the simmering pot on the stove.
"curry, since you spoke of wanting some yesterday.." diablo said, his response getting rimuru to relax back into the couch, stretching his limbs. ".. and dessert?" he muttered, getting a sigh from diablo. "that can be discussed when we get to it."
rimuru immediately blushed, "h-hey! you can't just assume that i want that.." he retorted before muttering to himself, "but i suppose i wouldn't complain.." rimuru's words made diablo laugh as he leaned onto the kitchen counter, looking over at rimuru. "at least try to be modest, rimuru.." he said with a slight smirk.
"y-you're the one that brought it up in the first place.." rimuru sighed, looking away from his husband who simply shook his head and went back to cooking.
by the time the meal was done rimuru had gotten changed into more comfortable clothing was had gotten busy with hugging diablo at every given opportunity. he's stirring the pot? hug him from the back. he's setting the table? let him set the table and then hug him and give him a kiss as a thank you. he's forcing rimuru to eat? comply and eat.
a rather simple routine that occurred almost everyday.
the two quietly ate at the table, diablo making sure that rimuru ate every last bite of the food before he let him leave to go wash up and head to bed. and while rimuru did that diablo cleaned up and also went to change and wash up.
"diablooo..~" rimuru whined from the bedroom as he watched his husband wash his face in the bathroom. the door was open so he could mostly see what was happening inside. diablo sighed, wiping his face with a towel. "coming.." he muttered, yawning afterwards as he exited the bathroom and shut off the light, approaching the bed.
as soon as diablo got into the bed, rimuru sat up, getting onto the other's lap without much thought. the man sighed, gently pulling rimuru into a kiss, holding him in place by his chin. diablo pulled him closer by his waist, giving the supple flesh a light squeeze. "you have to sleep, sweetheart." he chuckled, petting rimuru's hair.
rimuru nodded, a bit dazed by the kiss as he now moved to rest his head on the other's shoulder. "i suppose i do.. maybe tomorrow?" he muttered, earning a sigh in response as diablo shook his head. "after tomorrow. now come on, get some sleep."
diablo then lied down with rimuru still resting on top of him, reaching to turn off the bedside light before he pulled rimuru into a close embrace which was reciprocated rather fast as he felt arms sneak around him. "g'night.." rimuru murmured sleepily, diablo smiled, kissing his forehead. "goodnight."
