We Can Have the Sky, Together

Yuno Grinberryal x Reader

Warnings: none, some nice wholesome shit I made after watching all the seasons of Black Clover. I usually try and study characters before I write them but It’s my first time writing Yuno and it might be rusty. Excuse it please!

Also I had 4 midterms for college today kill me :’)

Enjoy~

“You didn’t get a grimoire?” The raven haired woman of the cloth asked. Her beautiful and pure blue eyes overflowing with sympathy and some confusion. “What? Big sister is so strong though! Everyone says she has amazing magic abilities!” Ah, my little brother Asta. I turned towards Asta and gave him a small smile and kneeled down beside his smaller form and looked up at the younger boy shaking my head. The grey-haired boy began to frown and immediately jumped into my arms to give me a big hug. “Don’t worry big sister! One day I’ll become strong and I’ll protect your and everyone here! Once I get my Grimoire you won’t even need one! I’ll always protect you and everyone!” I smiled at young Asta’s tenacious spirit. He’d always been very passionate and stubborn. One day that will be his greatest strength or his greatest weakness, but knowing Asta, that will be his strength without a doubt.

“(Y/N), y-you didn’t get a g-grimoire?” Oh Yuno. I pulled away from Asta’s hug and offered my arms out for the other boy. His golden eyes were full of tears yet again, his cheeks tinted a soft pink color from his fresh tears. He looked at my arms and immediately burst into tears and hugged me. “B-But you’re so strong, you have to get one… you always protect us and keep us safe.” His small face was buried into my chest, crying and clutching onto the back of my shirt. My heart ached at his desperation for my words to have been false. “Yuno.” I called to him, pulling him away slowly and gently wiping the tears from his face. “And I’ll continue to protect you. Grimoire or not. You all mean the world to me. You’re my family.”

This only caused poor Yuno to cry harder. In all honesty, I didn’t even know what my magical power was. I’d been told it was powerful and very immense, but I had never been able to discover what kind of magic I possessed. I practiced and trained so hard during the day. My body was in top physical condition, I was ready to take on any foe. The lessons with a retired magic knight helped me build techniques to defend against magic even without knowing what mine was. That night, oddly, Yuno never left my side. Asta had picked on Yuno calling him a crybaby, but Yuno stayed rooted beside me, clenching onto my shirt while we ate dinner and even when we were going to bed.

“Yuno, do you want me to tuck you in?“ He shook his head and hugged me tightly, burying his face into my stomach. His behavior began to concern me and I reached down to gently stroke his soft ravenous hair. “C-Can I please s-sleep with you tonight (Y/N)?” Seems my worries we’re for nothing. A soft chuckle escaped passed by my lips and I picked sweet timid Yuno up and carried him towards my room. “What about sleeping with Asta and the other children? They’ll worry.” The little boy wiped his nose and his eyes with his sleeve and buried his face into my neck, sniffling quietly attempting to calm down his whimpering. “B-But what about you? I-I’m worried about you…” I smiled at his words and opened the door to my bedroom, walking over to my bed calmly with Yuno in my arms. “I’m fine Yuno. But if it does make you feel better, you can sleep with me for tonight okay?”

He nodded and climbed underneath the covers. I grabbed a change of clothes from my dresser and slipped the clothes on in the small closet connected to my bedroom. Once I emerged Yuno was standing in front of the door waiting patiently. “You didn’t have to wait here you know? Go get back in bed and rest up.” Yuno reached his hand out and took mine, taking me with him towards the bed. I lifted him up once more and set him on the bed, tucking him under the covers before climbing under myself. “Do… Do you think… I-I can protect you one day?” His question baffled me for a moment, it was out of character for Yuno to ask such a strange question. I could tell by the tone in his voice he was serious but also nervous. “I know you’ll do great things Yuno.” I cupped his small cheek and stroked it with my thumb. “Someday you’ll protect more than just me. You’ll be able to protect everyone you love. I believe in you.”

“Look! Another letter from Asta and Yuno!”

I clambered myself up from my once peaceful slumber to see what all the commotion was about running amuck in the church. The smell of nomotoes filling the air of the church just like it did every morning. “Look! It says Yuno is coming to visit for a few days!” The children were ecstatic and running around happily heading the return of their big brother Yuno. Asta was most likely busy working or training hard. “The letter says he’s coming today?! When was this sent exactly!” I perked up hearing Yuno would be arriving today, I hadn’t seen him since he had joined the magic knights. I’m sure he’s been working quite hard. The children ran up to me with excited smiles. “Big sis are you excited Yuno is coming back!”

“Very excited. Now who told you you all could wake me up this early huh? I might just have to chase all of you down and wrangle you up when break time comes around.” I smirked sending them all a teasing look as all the children began to laugh and scurry off to their morning classes. Sister Lily came up to me with a bright smile and handed me a plate of nomatoes. “I’m sure you’re excited to Yuno and Asta. You haven’t seen them since they were 5.” That’s right, I had heard stories from Sister that Yuno had changed ever since I had left to find work in another village to earn money for us. He wasn’t a crybaby anymore, and even became a member of the Golden Dawn, receiving a four-leaf grimoire. How lucky he was. “Yes, I remember Yuno always stayed by my side. I hope he still remembers me…” Sister laughed and covered her bright smile with her smooth pure hands. “I’m positive he does. Ever since you left he had high spirits he was going to protect you someday.”

I smiled. “That sounds lovely. Well, I best get everything ready for his arrival. I’m excited to show him how strong I am still!” I flexed arms with a proud smile while Sister Lily gave me a smile. I went back to my room and got out a nice pair of black pants and a tight around the waist and loose around the arms and chest shirt. I ran my hands through my hair looking in the mirror at my appearance. ‘I hope Yuno remembers me… I left them without saying goodbye… I thought it would be better for them. Surely he’s forgotten…’ “Sister! Father! Yuno’s coming!” I turned and rushed out of my room to the entrance of the church and stepped out, feeling a big gust of wind comb through my hair and envelop my face with its cool touch. “Yuno! Yuno!”

I couldn’t barely even recognize the man that came down slowly from his flying position in the sky. A white uniform accompanied by red and blue markings, a golden cape with blue fur surrounding the edges. He stood tall, messy wind swept ebony hair, and a pair of amber eyes I would never forget. That was definitely Yuno. “Yuno! We missed you so much!” All the children ran up to him and hugged him, many of the girls crowded around one area observing something I could not see. Yuno’s lips curved upwards in the slightest seeing everyone. Father was especially happy, running up with a teary and snot nosed face screeching how Yuno was the pride of Hage. I stayed near the entrance, a pit of nervousness growing in my stomach. ‘What will he think when he sees me? Will he be mad? Surely! This is a bad idea. Maybe I should-‘

Then our eyes locked.

His amber eyes widened, his pupils becoming small in surprise. Mine reflected his, my body beginning to back up a bit as a sight or flight response. Yuno stepped out of the crowd of kids and began to walk over to me. His smile had disappeared, a somewhat cold and serious face plastered over his pale smooth skin. He approached quickly and started to slow as he began to near me, making out more of my features. It was silent as we both stared at each other the wind around Yuno giving off a small breeze that felt so cool and welcoming. “…Yuno.” His shoulders instantly relaxed and he began to step closer, his body mere inches away from mine. My cheeks began to burn in the slightest at the closeness. Yuno wasn’t a little kid anymore, he had matured, I wasn’t used to seeing him so mature yet. “Is… it really you, (Y/N)?”

“Of course it’s me you silly. Who else would I-“ I was cut off by strong arms wrapped around me, Yuno’s face becoming buried into my neck as he relaxed into my arms. I raised my arms in surprise and shakily let them rest against Yuno’s back, hugging the ebony haired man back tightly. “Why did you leave…” he mumbled into my neck against my clothes. His body was beginning to feel heavy as he was relaxing too much of his weight into me. I rubbed his back gently and let my fingers go up to hold to back of his head with a flustered smile. “I left… to make money, so I could provide for our family. Including you, Yuno.” He pulled back and looked me in the eyes with his ebony brows furrowed deeply. “But you don’t have a grimoire, no magic, how did you find work?” I shrugged and gave him a small smile. “A tavern owner hired me to wait tables as a waitress. I got some good tips that I sent all back here.”

Yuno’s lips formed into a frown, his brows furrowing deeper in what I assumed was worry. “You… You didn’t have any men touch you did they?” I thought for a moment. Sure, a lot of drunkards came through the taverns and made complete fools of themselves, but I had only been touched a few times. “I was slapped on the ass and manhandled a few times-“ His eyes darkened and his jaw noticeably clenched. The wind surrounding him picked up a little, giving off more mana than he meant it too. “-but I took care of them! I’m tough! Magic or not!” Yuno scoffed and turned his head away, glaring his fierce amber eyes at the walls instead. “Still doesn’t mean they don’t need their asses handed to them by me.”

Yuno really had changed a lot. He always used to be such a sensitive crybaby, crying whenever someone else was upset or when the slightest injury occurred. “Hey! You! What do you think you’re doing with my Yuno! He’s mine! So back off!” I looked up hearing an unfamiliar voice and saw a small spirit lingering on Yuno’s shoulder. She wore a pretty green dress with lovely green reflected wings and blonde hair. ‘What the hell is she talking about?’ “That’s enough Bell.” The spirit huffed and raised her nose at me as if I was beneath her. I decided to tease her and Yuno just a bit and lifted my hands up to bounce my breasts a little. “Well at least I’m more mature, right Yuno?” I winked at Yuno and sent the spirit a sly smirk, making the magic knight’s face turn red and the spirit start hurling insults and possessive claims. “I, uhm…”

“I’m kidding Yuno! Lighten up!” He pat his shoulder and opened the door to the church. “Now let’s go in and all catch up huh?”

Night fell sooner than I had imagined. The children were already in bed fast asleep. Sister was cleaning everything up and Father had gone to review some paperwork and important documents. Yuno and I continued to talk about our lives after we had split from one another. The wind spirit that accompanied him finally had enough of us ignoring her and went back to Yuno’s grimoire. “Wow, praised on by the wizard kind himself. I’m so proud of you Yuno.” I let my hand fall onto his to give it a gentle squeeze. Despite his tough battles and training, his skin remained warm and smooth. I could see the faintest pink begin to appear on his cheeks at the innocent touch. He looked away towards the walls and cleared his throat. “Can we… go outside?” I took my hand off of his and smiled. “Of course. I know looking at the sky was one of your favorite things to do when you were little.”

Yuno and I made our way outside as the sky was clouded with bright and beautiful stars, the land blessed by the light of the full moon. It made the lonely village of Hage all the more beautiful. “You still haven’t been able to use your magic yet, have you?” I smiled at his question and shook my head. I was always told I possessed magic, but being able to use it was the only problem. Not received a grimoire and possessing a powerful amount of magic was unheard of, especially when someone can’t even use that magic. It made me question all together if I even had magic. “I can sense your mana, it’s quite strong.” Thanks for trying to cheer my up Yuno but I already know I am not destined to use my magic after this long. I chose to ignore his comment and motioned towards a beautiful hill located in front of the demon skull. “Shall we?“

“Allow me.” Yuno’s incredible wind magic surrounded us, the breeze picking up slowly as we were lifted into the air and hovered our way quickly over to the cliff. He set us down gently, reaching for my hand and taking a hold of it lightly. This caused my cheeks to turn red at the gesture. He pulled me carefully towards the top of the hill and we sat down in front of the demon skull, the moon shining down directly onto us as if it was persuading us to come and join in the dance of stars that coated the midnight skies. “(Y/N), there’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you?” I looked over towards Yuno, his pale features illuminated by the moonshine, dark ebony hair blowing in the gentle breeze that the natural world graced us with. And his amber eyes. Looking at me with such sincerity. “Yeah? What is it?”

“This is, well, embarrassing but…” He shifted his body to face me, his hand reaching out towards my face. His warm and calloused hands gently ran over my cheeks, staring into my eyes with a faint red tint coating his striking features. “…I’ve missed you so much. That day you left… I wanted nothing more than to come with you. I wanted to stay by your side. To protect you.” His ebony brows furrowed and his eyes shone with an emotion I had never seen Yuno express. He had grown and matured so much, if I had stayed around with him, I doubt he would’ve become the man he is right now, or accomplish the dreams he so wished for. Father would’ve sent me to run that errand that day, and Yuno never would’ve wanted to be the Wizard King. “I’ve become strong, stronger than anyone else. I will be the Wizard King. And I promise, I will always protect you, and I… I want you to be by my side.” My eyes widened once Yuno began to get closer. “Y-Yuno-“

“I love you.” Once those words escaped his lips, he learned forward, pressing his soft and smooth lips firmly against mine. A bashful act of confidence spurred on by his suppressed feelings for so many years. His hands remained on my cheeks, slightly pulling me towards him to keep our lips together. He pulled away for a brief moment, pressing his forehead against mine while staring into my eyes for any signs of unwanted touch. “I… I knew young, I wanted you to be in my life forever… it was only when you left and I became a magic knight that I realized just how much I missed you, and what this feeling that has pained my chest for so long was.” He lifted his hand to run through my hair, his eyes never once leaving my stunned ones. His confidence began to falter slightly. “W-Will… you be… will you be my Queen one day?”

I was speechless.

Yuno, the boy I once looked after for so long. The boy who always cried for others and never stood up for himself. The little boy who wanted to become strong to protect his family and the people he cared for. I never thought anything like this would come about. Sure, Yuno was my favorite kid at the church, and I didn’t want to leave him. But seeing the man he’s become, the man who stands up for the people he protects and the promise he’s made to his kingdom. I can’t help but fall in love with his kind-hearted soul, his still bashful yet confident personality. “Yuno…” I whispered. My mouth betrayed me as I struggled to find an answer to his sudden confession after so long without seeing him. He was only a child when I last saw him. “I…I-“

“You don’t have to give me an answer now.” I looked back up to him in surprise, the smile on his face bigger than ever. It was a beautiful sight, seeing Yuno so grown up, smiling like that at me. It shown in his eyes that he was sincere in his words. His love was real. “I-I’m sorry…” Yuno leaned forward and put his head into my chest, pushing us both into a laying position where he was laying on my chest, close to my heart. I gasped in surprise and felt my cheek becoming redder and redder by the second at how close we were. “Don’t be sorry. I’ll wait for you as long as I have to. When I become the Wizard King… I’ll come back for you, and ask you once more, to be my Queen.” I began to tear up at Yuno’s words, an irresistible smile stretching across my lips. That night for some reason the stars began to shine brighter, and I could actually feel my magic coursing within me. The spark that grew my magic “I know we’ll be far from one another… but just remember we won’t be too far apart…”

“We can have the sky, together.”
