Credence gets some bedtime loving (LEMON) (Credence x reader)

Credence gets bitten by the lovebug

A/N: This chapter will probably be a little less wild than the last. This isn't just about sexytime after all... Yes Wattpad I'm looking at you!

I felt warm and comfortable as I slowly woke up, feeling a pair of arms securely wrapped around me, holding me closely. I cuddled into the warm chest and smiled sleepily, my mind still fuzzy from sleep, but still aware that I was snuggling with Credence and that I was slightly sore from the previous evening. I was hit by a sleepy realisation"I'm falling in love with him... And it's perfectly fine with me" I couldn't help but smile a little and slowly drift away again into the world between sleep and conscience, dreaming pleasant dreams.

I awoke again, when I felt Credence stir slightly. This time I opened my eyes and stared right into his warm brown eyes. This time there was no shock or fear, just a soft, growing love. I smiled up at him and he returned it with a soft smile and a kiss on my forehead. "Slept well Nadia?" His voice was still husky from sleep, I liked it. I yawned and nodded with a tired smile and slowly sat up, rubbing my face. He grabbed me gently, pulled me back down into his arms and kissed me softly. Not a desperate and passionate kiss, it was instead sweet and soft, the kind of kiss that whispers I love you. He slowly pulled away and looked back down at me with a happy and content sparkle in his eyes. It was the gaze of a man, who felt grateful for all the good things in his life.

"I'm so happy you found me" he whispered into my hair "so am I... It's not so lonely anymore" I gently caressed his cheek and pulled him in for a kiss. "I think we are saving each other one step at the time" he laid there processing my words for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face "I think you're right about that." *Grooowl* there was a slightly awkward silence as we both stared down at his stomach, then I started to chuckle and he burst out laughing. This was so badly timed, that it was a little hilarious. We broke down in giggles about five times in a row, before we finally got a hold of ourselves "let's go out and eat. I can't handle another giggle breakdown" I sniffed, teary eyed from laughing so much. He chuckled a little and nodded in agreement.

As we got dressed and went out into the kitchen, something occurred to me: we were much more comfortable with each other after last night. This seemed... Natural to us? All the tension and awkwardness had completely dissipated, yet I still didn't know that much about him. I decided to change that over breakfast.

"Credence, what is your favourite colour?" He looked at me, a tad stunned, then smiled softly "the colour of your eyes, funny enough" I blushed and felt my heart pounding in my chest at his honest sweetness.

I asked him about his hobbies and after an entire minute of deep thinking he said "reading I think?" He seemed so unsure about this and I realised something heartbreaking: this boy had led a terrible life, where he barely even had time to relax and feel safe. I was determined to give him that from now on.

Then he did something I hadn't expected; he took a leap of faith and told me all about his past. He revealed how his mother had beaten him for the slightest misstep and how Mr Graves had pretended to care for him, only to throw him away once he thought he had found his obscurus. He told me that he was the actual obscurus and how he had lost control and accidentally killed several people, including his mother.

I cried silently as he told me his story. Not out of fear but out of absolute sympathy for him as my heart shattered more and more for each sentence he muttered. He seemed nervous the whole time and finished his story with a sad look "you probably hate and fear me now. I just wanted to let you know the truth about me. I understand if you want me to leave and never come back again." He lowered his head, with tears threatening to spill from his eyes.

I immediately stood up and almost ran around the table and threw me arms around him, drawing him into a strong hug and whispered into his hair "Credence, listen carefully to me. I'm not afraid of you and I could never hate you! I love you Credence, more than you realise and I want to give you the life you deserve; a life with happiness and prosperity, a life filled with love and caring. I want to teach you magic and I will always be by your side to love and protect you! None of this was your fault Credence, you are not to blame in my opinion. It was the obscurus who killed them, because those people hurt you too deeply. I also understand your anger, anybody would be angry and you held it in for so long! It just kept piling up inside you and in the end it just exploded and got out! It's their fault, not yours, they where the ones who brought this on themselves!"

He grabbed me and cried into my shoulder. He cried for hours; he cried out all the guilt inside, the anger and resentment towards those who hurt him, the fear and anxiety he had carried around for so many years and he cried out of relief and happiness. And I cried with him, out of sympathy for him and out of resentment of those who had broken him and hurt him.

Finally our tears stopped and we just sat there, our arms tightly wrapped around each other, as if to keep ourselves and each other from drowning in all the emotions we had just felt. "Thank you" he whispered hoarsely "thank you so very much" he gave me a gentle squeeze "I love you Nadia, you mean more than life itself to me... Please don't ever leave me... Stay by my side... Marry me" I almost clung to him and smiled, realising that we had formed an unbreakable bond, that we were destined for each other and that I could never love any other man "I promise you this: I will stay by your side for eternity, in this world and the next. I will become your lawfully wedded wife and never abandon you. My heart belongs only to you Credence."

His face lit up like a thousand stars as he heard the truth in my voice and he gave me a deep long kiss, filled with passion and dedication to our future. This was meant to be. This is our destiny and at that moment, it felt as if something in the very universe slipped into place and everything was right.

We spent the rest of the evening discussing books and I promised him, that we would soon start his magic lessons, after buying the necessary books and materials. 

A/N: so... I did plan on adding a sex scene in this chapter, but it just didn't feel right to me... sorry about that, I will definitely add some sexytime in the next chapter, promise! I just wanted to keep this one sweet and emotional, to show how the bond between the two of you is growing stronger and how Credence is slowly growing as a person, who finally receives the love, he deserves.
