Weightless Embrace (Young! President! Coriolanus Snow x reader)

A/N: wrote this during a writing sprint because I needed to get shit done so it might be shorter than average but my goal is to post three tonight. :) as always feel free to send in requests or just say hi 

Coriolanus always had a bad habit of using the same emotional intelligence he used to pull every string he wanted to read you like a book. He knew when your day was better than average and when there were days like today where everything was just a little too much. 

He watched with a pained look on his face as you ran your fingers aggressively down the skin on your cheeks as you recounted your day. He knew by now that you had no idea you were even doing such a thing but it hurt him none-the-less to see the red lines raise in your fingers wake. 

“Let me start you a bath” he said it gently, just a hair above a whisper. You paused your ranting and suddenly you looked like nothing more than a helpless child in his eyes. Before you could even nod your head Corio had already started to the bathroom. The heels of his work shoes clicking evenly on the cold tile. You allowed yourself to close your eyes for a moment, letting the cool breeze from the window sooth you as you waited for your doting husband, drifting off somewhere between consciousness and sleep. 

The cold touch of Coriolanus’s’ hands on your face startled you awake. He said nothing as he helped you out of the bed and set you on the plush carpet. He raised your arms in a well rehearsed dance as he striped you. 

“Come on you,” He finally allowed a small smile to replace the look of concern on his face. Bath time was a special moment the two of you rarely enjoyed and he took pleasure in the small moments of love you could share. He grasped your hand the same way he did on your first date as he dragged you to his rose garden. Only this time there was no giddy excitement of new beginnings, just pure content. 

He let you lower yourself into the warm water, taking the time to prepare himself. A floral scented smoke rose from the bath in thick wasps of steam. The water instantly relaxed all the muscles that had tensed during the day. 

“You coming?” you finally turned to look at Corio, a small pout forming at your lips. 

He responded in a hum, slipping his feet around your body and pressing his chest on your back, the coolness of his skin on yours made goosebumps on your arms and lit every nerve on fire. 

You let your body melt into his in a familiar exchange. Once more your eyes closed as you enjoyed the weightless embrace. 

“I love you”
