Chapter 3 - bashful (Saizo)

Saizo admits to her that he’s standoffish sometimes just because he’s shy, something that Corrin finds incredibly endearing. However, as they settle into their marriage, she discovers that he’s not the only shy one, and that there are certain matters that make her incredibly shy. Their honeymoon is awkward as they both try to figure things out, but once they get things going…
Corring had heard enough stories about how good it could be, and how bad it could be, and she hadn’t been sure what to expect from her wedding night. The fact that things had gone so well made her happy, but also left her wanting more, and unsure of how to express that desire.

Nights pass where they both head to sleep without him making any mention of it, and she can’t bring herself to ask. She supposes that she should try to seek out advice, but the thought of talking to anyone , even one of her sisters, about this is far too embarrassing. This is something that has to stay between her and Saizo.

Some nights, she’s lucky enough to get a quick kiss before bed, but one day, she decides that the next time that happens, she’s going to make her move. When he stands before her and pulls down his mask, he reveals how furiously he’s blushing, and never makes direct eye contact with her. He kisses her once and quickly pulls back, his blush deepening, and Corrin steels herself before she goes for it.

She pulls him into another kiss, the likes of which they haven’t shared since their wedding night, leaving no space between them. For all his amazing reflexes, Saizo doesn’t react immediately, he’s so surprised. But when he finally returns her kiss, she knows that must have done something right. He tangles a hand in her hair, tugging at it.

“What was that all about?” he asks her when she pulls back, his face red enough to rival his hair.

“I wanted to show you...I wanted to...I wanted you to…” They’re still close, so she steps up against him.

“That, huh? A little needy, aren’t you?” When she looks away, he says, “That was a joke. You’re my wife and I...confess that that’s been on my mind lately as well. I didn’t want to do anything without asking, but asking you was hard. I apologize if you think I’ve neglected you.”

This is a side to Saizo that she’s still getting used to. He shows this vulnerable side only to her, proving that he isn’t sure just how a marriage is supposed to go, that he’s unsure if he can properly manage a relationship.

She gives him a reassuring smile and says, “It’s alright, I know...it’s not easy to talk about. It wasn’t for me.”

“Then let’s not talk anymore,” he replies, his voice low. And then he grabs her by the shoulders and kisses her hard. When he actually takes initiative like this, it’s almost easy to forget that he was ever shy to begin with, and the fierce and possessive way he kisses her leaves her absolutely helpless. All the while, he moves the two of them, until he’s breaking the kiss and shoving her down on the bed.

He looks down at her, his chest rising and falling with his heavy breaths, and without another word, he starts to undress himself. Corrin doesn’t need him to tell her to do the same, shuffling out of what she’s wearing before laying down just as she had been. Saizo climbs on top of her, his eyes dark with lust, though his blush still remains to remind her of the ninja’s shyness.

“You’re ready, aren’t you?” he asks her.

“I am,” she murmurs, feeling him press against her. She lets out a soft gasp when she does, biting her lip in anticipation. Slowly, Saizo begins to push himself inside of her, taking his time because it’s only their second time doing this, and she’s still getting used to it, and he’s still doing all he can not to hurt her. There is still pain at first, but nowhere near what she experienced the first time, and it subsides even as he pushes further inside of her.

Saizo groans, low and deep when he fits himself completely inside of her, resting there for a moment, and she isn’t sure if he’s giving her a chance to adjust or if he’s trying to regain his composure, or if it might be a little bit of both. But then he takes a deep breath and she feels him moving, his hips rocking in a slow rhythm at first, but then he quickly picks up the pace, his face showing just how lost in pleasure he’s becoming.

When Corrin is able to, she rises her hips to meet his, and she wraps her legs around him, allowing him deeper inside of her. She gasps out his name, something that she hadn’t done the first time. Then, she had been even more shy, and held back as many noises as she could manage. Now, she’s more open, and whenever he says his name, he gives a little shudder of pleasure.

Eventually, his pace increases to a point where he’s almost rough wither, thrusting hard and fast, but she doesn’t mind at all. In fact, she likes it, responding to him in kind until they’ve reached a pace that nearly hurts her. She’s getting close, which is another thing that’s different from the first night. Then, he’d had to help her finish after he already had, but tonight, she doesn’t think she’s going to need any extra help from him.

Saizo leans down, his face resting against her shoulder, and she can hear every soft noise he makes as he fucks her. He moans and even gets close to whimpering, and then he says, in a voice so low she wouldn’t be able to hear him if he weren’t so close, “I love you…” and that is what does her in.

When she comes, crying out helplessly, Saizo is not far behind her, his quiet groan nearly drowned out by her. Once again, something she only hears because he’s so close to her, and she holds onto him as she rides out her pleasure, until he nearly collapses on top of her, the two of them panting together as they recover from the force of their orgasms.

He finally speaks up after a moment, breathlessly saying, “I suppose it pays off to be more open, huh?”

“Try not to be so shy all the time,” she teases.

“And?”

“And I’ll try to do the same.”

“I think we might be able to manage it together,” he replies, and she tightens her hold on him in response.
