My Shape-Shifting Lover

The bathroom was filled with warmth, the scent of soap and steam lingering in the air.

The bathwater was comfortably hot, sending a relaxing sensation through their bodies.

Yumi sat on Shinji's lap, his back resting against Shinji's firm chest as they soaked in the tub together.

The gentle ripples of water moved around them, making the moment feel even more intimate.

Shinji had his hands resting on Yumi's belly, rubbing small circles on the soft skin.

His touch was warm, steady, comforting. Yumi let out a small, content sigh, leaning into him.

He could feel Shinji's heartbeat against his back, slow and steady, matching the calm rhythm of their breathing.

Yumi's long white hair floated in the water, strands sticking to his flushed cheeks.

His blue eyes were hazy with relaxation as he lazily played with Shinji's fingers on his belly.

He felt happy—no, more than happy. He felt safe, loved, and protected. It was a strange kind of warmth, one that filled his entire chest.

Shinji, still trailing his hands over Yumi's stomach, smirked. "You look really cute right now," he murmured, his deep voice carrying amusement.

Yumi rolled his eyes but smiled anyway. "I always look cute," he said, tilting his head slightly.

Shinji chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to the side of Yumi's neck. "Yeah, but right now, you look even cuter."

Yumi's cheeks turned red. His hands instinctively covered his face, embarrassed.

Even though they were already so close, Shinji always knew how to make him flustered.

They stayed like that for a few minutes, just enjoying the warmth of the water and each other's presence.

Yumi let out a small hum as Shinji's fingers continued to rub his belly in slow circles. His heart fluttered slightly at the thought of what was growing inside him.

The idea of carrying their child felt unreal, but at the same time, it made him feel special.

Shinji seemed to know what he was thinking because he suddenly whispered, "Our baby's in here."

His voice was soft, full of admiration. He pressed his palm more firmly against Yumi's belly.

Yumi let out a small, shy laugh. "Yeah…" He placed his own hand over Shinji's. The moment felt so perfect.

His chest swelled with emotions he didn't know how to put into words. Instead, he just smiled, feeling completely at peace.

After a moment, he turned slightly and asked, "Hey, baby… what do you like the most about me?"

Shinji didn't even hesitate. Without moving his hand from Yumi's stomach, he replied smoothly, "The way you breathe heavily, the way your face gets all red, the way you call my name—moan, beg, and say, 'Baby, more, break me, give me your seed.'"

Yumi's entire body froze. His face went from pink to deep red in an instant. His eyes widened in absolute horror. "S-Shinji—!"

Shinji grinned, enjoying his reaction. "And the way you always cum before I do," he added teasingly, his voice smug.

Yumi slapped his hands over his ears, shaking his head aggressively. "Stop! Stop! Stop talking!!" He groaned, completely mortified.

Shinji only laughed. He loved seeing Yumi like this—flustered, cute, and too embarrassed to even make eye contact.

Yumi buried his face in his hands, steam practically rising from his head. "You're so mean…" he mumbled.

Shinji smirked. "I'm just telling the truth." He leaned in, brushing his lips against Yumi's ear. "You do sound really cute when you beg for—"

"Shinji!!" Yumi shouted, splashing water at him in desperation. His hands trembled as he pointed a finger at him. "If you keep teasing me, I-I'll cry!!"

Shinji paused, raising an eyebrow. "…You're gonna cry?"

Yumi bit his lip, his eyes shining slightly. His cheeks were puffed, his expression both embarrassed and frustrated.

Shinji stared at him for a moment, debating whether or not to push him further. Then he smirked. "…You won't."

"I will!" Yumi huffed, his eyes getting a little watery. "I'm pregnant, my emotions are all over the place! You should be nicer to me!"

Shinji still didn't take the warning seriously. He leaned closer and whispered, "Okay, okay. But just so you know, you're the cutest when you—"

Before he could finish, Yumi's face scrunched up, and a small sniffle escaped him. Then another. His blue eyes filled with tears as his lower lip trembled. "You're so mean to me, Shinji…"

Shinji immediately froze.

Crap.

Yumi's sniffles grew louder as his tears spilled over. His whole body shook slightly, and he looked so genuinely sad that it made Shinji panic. He didn't actually think he'd cry.

"W-Wait, Yumi—" Shinji quickly wrapped his arms around him, rubbing his back soothingly. "I was just teasing! I didn't mean to make you cry, baby."

But Yumi only sniffled harder, rubbing his eyes with his hands. "You always tease me! And I always get flustered! And now you're teasing me again while I'm pregnant!" His voice was wobbly and full of emotions.

Shinji sighed, feeling a little guilty now. He pressed kisses along Yumi's wet cheeks, wiping his tears away gently. "I'm sorry, baby. I really didn't mean it in a bad way. I love you, okay? I love everything about you." His voice was softer now, filled with affection.

Yumi sniffled again but slowly leaned into Shinji's embrace, letting himself be comforted. "…You're still mean," he muttered, but his voice was a little calmer.

Shinji chuckled, stroking his wet hair. "I know. But you love me anyway."

Yumi huffed but didn't deny it. Instead, he rested his head against Shinji's shoulder, his tears finally stopping.

They stayed like that for a while, just holding each other in the warm bath, listening to the quiet sound of water and their breathing.

Eventually, Shinji whispered, "Hey, baby?"

Yumi hummed in response.

"I really do love you."

Yumi felt his heart squeeze at those words. A small, shy smile spread across his lips. He hugged Shinji a little tighter, his body relaxing completely.

"…I love you too."

Shinji grinned. "See? I knew it."

Yumi groaned. "Shinji—"

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." He kissed the top of Yumi's head. "Let's just enjoy the bath, okay?"

Yumi sighed but nodded, closing his eyes and melting against Shinji's warmth.

Even if Shinji teased him a lot, he knew one thing for sure—he was loved. And that was all that mattered.
