You and Shoto have been dating for a while now, your bond growing stronger each day. Despite his aloof demeanor, Shoto has opened up to you in ways he hasn’t with anyone else. His warmth, usually hidden beneath his icy exterior, now shines through whenever you’re together. You’ve seen sides of him that others can only imagine — the subtle smiles, quiet laughter, and the gentle care he shows when he thinks no one’s watching. Your relationship has become a safe space, a place where he can be himself without reservation.
Tonight, you’re enjoying a rare, quiet evening at your apartment. The city outside hums with its usual activity, but inside, everything feels peaceful. Curled up on the couch, a warm blanket draped over your legs, you watch a movie together. Shoto’s attention drifts between the screen and you, his hand occasionally brushing yours, a comfortable smile playing on his lips. These calm moments make you feel closest to him, and a playful thought crosses your mind. You’ve seen the “calling my boyfriend husband” trend and wonder how Shoto might react. Without overthinking it, you decide to find out.
You glance at him, your voice casual yet affectionate. “Hey, husband, could you pass me the remote?”
Shoto’s eyes widen slightly, his expression unreadable for a moment. He blinks, then turns to you fully, studying your face. “Husband?” he repeats, his voice soft and curious.
You nod, biting back a smile as you meet his gaze. “Yeah, husband. It suits you, don’t you think?”
There’s a brief silence, and you can almost see the gears turning in his head. His cheeks take on a faint pink hue, a rare sight that makes your heart flutter. “I… don’t mind it,” he finally says, a small, almost shy smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
