Falling for You (Caesar Zeppeli X Chubby Reader)

Ch9 Time Together

S n a p

You felt the stool you were standing on give in, at the same time you heard the chime of the bell at the front door.

You tensed up waiting for your body to hit the floor, but instead you feel yourself being cradled in one arm, the other arm was holding up the box you were trying to get.

"Got you mi amore~" a familiar voice cooed,

"C-Caesar! Thank you! Phew!" You're heart beat was out of wack,

"What are you doing here? You usually don't come in Mondays!" You say baffled, he set you down on the floor and set the box on a table.

"I was- giving you what's yours! Wait- I'm returning? *sigh* I'm going to take you home so I can help you take your shopping bags from my car to your home, and I want to return your shirt and sweatpants, sorry I stretched them out a bit..." Caesar said with a cute awkward smile,

"O-oh? Thank you!" You smile, Caesar helps you out with some last minute fixes.

The drive to your home was quite, Caesar seemed deep in thought so you didn't feel the need to speak up.

Once you got home you helped Caesar grab your bags from his car to your living room.

"Phew thanks!" You said as you leaned against the couch,

"Oh these too!" He held out your now extra oversized shirt and sweat pants.

"Some how this makes me feel skinny thank you!" You take the clothes and sniff them,

"A-ah! Sorry do they smell weird?" Caesar looked embarrassed,

"Hm? Oh! No no! They smell...good, they smell like you-uh! Not in a weird way or anything just- since you wore them, they smell like you!" You panicked a bit worried that he would think you're creepy.

Instead of saying anything Caesar bent down to you and leaned his face into the crook of your neck and sniffed, every so often his lips would graze your neck.

"Mm~!" Your throat made an involuntary noise, that sounded like a moan.

"My bad, I figured I ought to know you by sent too, would you mind holding on to those clothes for me? You know, just in case I stay over again?" Caesar winked as he headed to the door,

"I should get going, I'm sure you want to rest..." Caesar opened the door, but before he could completely step out, your body moved on it's own, and you grabbed his wrist,

"Wait! Don't go..." you said,

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Caesar looked at you with concern,

"I...I want to ask you something, and you're the only one I could ask...don't laugh ok? I'm serious..." your grip tightened,

"Go ahead..." Caesar felt his heart beat a little faster,

"Do...do you think someone could love a chubby  girl like me?" You look at him with pleading eyes.

"Mi amore~ that's quite a silly question, I'm sure right now, there's a dashing man waiting for you to notice him and his love for you." Caesar couches down to meet you eye to eye.

He stroked your hair and gave you a kiss on the cheek.

"You really think that?" Your tone mirrored one of a curious child,

"Mi amore~ I don't think, I know, I know he's waiting for the right moment to sweep you up off your feet and do his best to make your heart, mind and body happy." Caesar smiled,

"Hearing you say something like that makes me happy, thank you. Careful with all those little kisses and kind words...I might start falling for you. Surely you don't want that haha!" You laughed, Caesar perked up like an excited puppy when you said that you might fall for him.

"Wait! There was one more reason I wanted to see you today." Caesar said all giddy like

"Hmm?" You tilted your head slightly,

"Can you be my tutor? I'm taking a business class, but I don't really understand it, the professor suggested that I go to someone who owns a business to explain. I know it sounds weird since my family own a restaurant business so I should know this stuff, but my mother is much too busy to teach me, and if I take over one day, I want to be able to run it smoothly like she did!" Caesar held your small hands in his big and surprising smooth hands.

"Um...(Caesar makes puppy dog eyes at you)..how can I say no to that face?" You giggle,

"Yes!" Caesar picked you up quite easily, he spun around once and placed his forehead against yours,

"Thank you thank you thank you!" Caesar ran his fingers through your hair,

"Ah~ Caesar..Caesar!" Your voice came out a little shaky and breathy, your tone of voice caught Caesar off guard, his eyes widened and he face was flushed, hearing you almost moan his name made him feel some sorta way,

"P-put me down please!" You practically demand,

"Oh um- sure!" He set you down and you wrapped your arms around your stomach,

"What's wrong? I didn't hurt you did I?!" Caesar panicked,

"No no! It's just I'm a chubby girl, I can...I can hide my weight with clothes, but when you pick me up...there's no hiding it...the idea of some guy sweeping me off my feet sounds fun, but isn't that ending meant for skinny girls?" You say avoided eye contact.

"You're actually pretty light, you know, muscle weighs more than fat, if you want I could spend time with you after you tutor me, and I can help you learn and understand that your body, is sexy and é mio~" Caesar's words made you blush even though you didn't really know what the last part meant, you nodded your head.

He left and went home to study and you tried to calm down, your poor heart wants to believe that he might like you, but your brain is fighting against it...

Note- "é mio" means "it's mine" just thought you as the reader would like to know but you the character doesn't know~ hehe!
