☾ Nightmares - SB Imagines ☽

(Kojūrō, Masamune, Yukimura, Sasuke, Motochika, Keiji, Magoichi)

After a particularly bad nightmare, you are left awake in the middle of the night. You sob, absolutely inconsolable as sadness and fear wreak havoc in your exhausted mind. Who will comfort you, and how?

☾ Kojūrō ☽

Kojūrō feels his shoulders tense when he hears the first few sobs. He's just been passing by your room, going about whatever business he had to put away for the night because of his lord's needs. And now all he hears are the alarm bells blaring in his mind. Without any hesitation, he slides open the door and rushes in, hastily checking if you are sick or injured in any way. After finding out it's not the case, his stern expression softens a bit.

He asks what's wrong- but only once, as you don't really respond to his question. He puts two and two together pretty quickly. After all, this is not the time he's dealt with this. Masamune was the same when younger. And so the Right Eye does what he does best; being someone you can rely on. He doesn't really say much before tightly wrapping you up in a blanket and holding you close. Hugs aren't his forte, but he has to ground you somehow, right? It used to work on Masamune, anyway.

And all the while, he doesn't force you to talk about your nightmare, instead choosing to remain in silence. He just holds you and waits patiently, with a strangely fatherly look on his face, until you either fall asleep in his arms or tell him what made you so scared. The tight, comforting embrace soon forces you to relax, and your breathing slows...

He is there to listen. And he will stay as long as you need him, just like he would for Masamune.

☾ Masamune ☽

Masamune is easily woken up by the muffled sound of you crying. He's always been a very light sleeper, and it saved his hide many times when out fighting. But this time is a bit different, as he isn't the one in potential danger. Without even thinking, he grabs his weapons and rushes to your side, his hand already on the hilt of one of his Claws.

After almost breaking down your door, he quickly realizes there's no enemy present and freezes for a moment. Leading men to battle and losing yourself in the passion of combat is one thing, but comforting someone who's this miserable... that seems like a daunting task for the One Eyed Dragon. But he doesn't let his doubts stop him. What kind of leader would he be if he did? He's no coward.

And so he decides to do one of the things that help him clear his head when he's not feeling good. He doesn't even ask what's wrong, having a few theories already. Despite small protests from you, he lifts you up into his arms, letting out a soft huff. After that, he swiftly carries you to the stables, and gets up into the saddle of his horse with you. Before you can even say anything, the horse is already in motion. It's clear Masamune is trying his best to balance speed and comfort as you ride. He holds you close so you don't fall off, and starts telling you all sorts of embarassing stories about him and Kojūrō, until the tears stop falling and you let out a small chuckle. When that happens, he gives you his signature smirk, looking incredibly proud of himself for calming you down.

Not even nightmares can escape the Dragon once he sets his eye on them. Not when he has someone so precious to protect.

☾ Yukimura ☽

Yukimura is startled awake by the quiet sobs, even though he probably wouldn't admit it. A thousand thoughts rush through his mind at once as he gets up and goes to check on you. He's worried, very worried. And when he sees you being a sobbing mess, his heart drops right into his stomach. He starts questioning you on what happened, but you are still too out of it to answer.

So, he awkwardly sits down next to you with a troubled look on his face. He thinks long and hard about what his revered Oyakata-sama would do in this situation, but nothing fitting seems to come to mind. After all, punching you so hard that you make a hole in the wall and giving you life advice during it is out of the question, even he recognizes that his lord's methods wouldn't really apply here. Sasuke would maybe know what to do, but he's out on a mission somewhere, so he's on his own.

He carefully reaches his hand out, placing it on your shoulder to let you know you're not alone. He's a bit surprised when you lean onto him for comfort, but he doesn't push you away. After a while, you feel comfortable enough to tell him about your nightmare, and he listens intently. Everything is quiet for a moment, until...

"I, SANADA YUKIMURA, SWEAR TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE NIGHTMARES!"

Yukimura yells it out so loudly that it probably woke everyone else up, too. He sounds even more determined and dramatic than usual, complete with wild hand motions and an intense but genuine look in his eyes. That promise is just so absurd, and... endearing, in true Yukimura fashion. And then he even has the gall to look surprised when you burst out laughing!

Never change, Yukimura, never change.

☾ Sasuke ☽

Sasuke notices that something is wrong just before he goes out on another mission. Maybe it's because he's a shinobi, or because he often has to drag Yukimura out of trouble, but he's developed a sixth sense of sorts already. And that sense, that gut feeling quickly leads him to your room. He doesn't walk in just yet, and you aren't even aware of his presence. Luckily for you, it doesn't take him too long to decide that the mission can wait for a while longer.

He gently opens the door and walks in. If he's worried, it's not showing, he looks as calm and laid back as ever. He sits down next to you and waits for a while to see if his presence is enough to calm you down. He knows better than to overwhelm you with questions at this moment. But the amount of tears lessens only a little. He sights softly. Perhaps there is one thing he could try...

He stands up, but you don't see what he's doing, your vision is all blurry from crying. Suddenly, you feel a pair of arms wrap around you. And another. And... another? You go quiet for a moment, blinking in surprise as you realize that he summoned two shadow clones to smother your sadness with a hug. And honestly... it's working. Who wouldn't want to be hugged by their favorite person three times at once? It doesn't take long for you to finally relax again and fall asleep. Sasuke simply makes the clones disappear and lays you back down, watching over you for a while. And then, he disappears into the shadows, as if nothing even happened.

Mission complete.

☾ Motochika ☽

It takes Motochika a while to get to you. The seas aren't exactly calm, and the sound of crashing waves and the crew yelling at each other on the deck drowns out... everything else, essentially. Still, you're lucky, as he managed to hear you while walking by the tiny cabin you tend to sleep in. He steps in, and he instinctively tilts himself to one side to balance out the ship suddenly getting rocked by another wave.

The captain looks pretty drowsy, and he's only half dressed. Not a very uncommon sight, since he has a ridiculous sleep schedule while the crew is out treasure hunting. He wakes up at random times and then goes back to sleep after checking if everything is under control on the deck. And this time, he chanced upon a different issue than he expected. Seeing you in distress, he finally seems to properly wake up.

He says nothing, simply taking you in his arms and wrapping them around you in a very comfortable bear hug. He doesn't like seeing any of his crew sad and scared, and that applies even more when it comes to you. The rocking of the ship suddenly doesn't seem as bad anymore, as he's stable on his feet. He's like a lighthouse in the midst of a terrible storm.

Motochika has many things on his mind that he could say. That it's fine, that whatever you saw in that nightmare wasn't real. But he knows you know, and that it probably wouldn't calm you down. And so he sings. It's only a low hum at first, which slowly changes into words. It's a shanty you and the crew often sing. Usually, it's very energetic, but his rough, slow singing makes it seem more like a lullaby this time. And it does help. Even the sea seems to grow calmer as you finally relax and close your eyes once more.

You're safe here. Aniki has your back.

☾ Keiji ☽

Keiji is awake even before you are. Since you're travelling together and often sleep out in the wilderness, with the trees acting as your only roof, you're always near each other. For safety reasons, of course. But before you even woke up from the nightmare, you were thrashing so wildly that you managed to kick the poor Maeda vagabond in the face.

Still, once you wake up and break down into tears, he seems to be way more concerned about you than the red mark on his face. He's panicking a bit, not really knowing how to calm you. Yumekichi looks at him judgementally for it, but this has never happened to you two, what is he supposed to do?! He at least pulls you in for an awkward, tight hug, trying to tell you that it's going to be okay while patting your head. It doesn't seem to be working much, however.

In the end, he decides to use his inner romantic to distract you. He carefully tilts your head up, and points to the stars above you. Keiji doesn't wait even for a second before he starts waxing poetic about the world around you both. He points out the stars, the moon, the chirping sound of crickets and the quiet whispers of the wind. And it's all so genuine, too. The happiness that he gets to travel with you and see everything in a different light. When you calm down enough after listening to him softly talk about what makes him happy, he starts asking you to tell him what you can see. And every single time you point to something, he tells you about a nice memory you two share that it reminds him of. The panic and awkwardness is gone, and it's just the Keiji you know and love now. You two talk and talk, until the sun rises once again, and you two simply rest each other, Yumekichi curled up on Keiji's shoulder.

You can't even remember what the nightmare was about now.

☾ Magoichi ☽

Magoichi is still awake when she hears you cry. With all the chaos in Japan right now, she spends day and night making sure everyone in the Faction is safe and prepared for anything. Though, hearing you in distress has given her a pause. At first, she just wants to keep walking. After all, she can't coddle the members of the proud Saika Faction as if they were children.

But then again.. crying is not exactly a common sound heard around here, so it's probably something that really got to you. And as much as she tries to be stern and heartless, she does care about her own. Dearly. So with a sigh, she opens the door and walks towards you. She gives you a quick once-over to make sure you're not wounded and trying to hide it, as a few would do.

Ah, so a nightmare.

She has her typical stern, determined expression on her face, but there also seems to be something softer in her eyes. She's not judging you. In fact... she gets it. She gets her own share of nightmares. Terrible ones, too. And she hates the idea that someone she's secretly so proud and fond of is a victim of their own mind. And so she starts speaking to you. Her voice is slightly softer than usual, but it still has enough authority to properly catch your attention.

She doesn't offer you typical words of comfort. She tells you that you're strong, and how she's seen that strength shine many times. How proud she is how far you've come, and how she is glad that you're fighting under her banner. And how she believes that you can overcome this, just like you usually do in battle. That you can kill this nightmare, this fear, with a carefully aimed metaphorical bullet to its head. She grips your shoulders while saying all this, so you know how serious she is. And she also doesn't forget to mention that you never, ever have to fight it alone. It's not really Magoichi's words or tone of voice that calms you in the end. It's the fact that she took her time to try to comfort you in the only way she knows. You know you're in good hands now.

No Sacred Crow will get lost from the flock on her watch.

Well, that's it for the first round of imagines! I am still kind of getting used to writing shorter scenes like this, as I usually write longer things, so the formatting or pacing may be a bit strange for a while. I also apologize for any possibble inaccuracies or grammar mistakes, I wrote basically all of these in the middle of the night, and I'm currently feeling pretty sick (￣▽￣*)ゞ Still, I hope you enjoyed them and I hope to write more soon! I am also oficially opening SB imagines and fic requests now, so if you guys wish to see something specific, now's the time to ask for it! Thank you for reading, and as always...

Have an amazing day!

Hellooww i hope you don't mind me requesting for the second time! But what if s/o (or the reader) was tending their wound's, but with Date Masamune, Sarutobi Sasuke, Katakura Kojūrō, and Fūma Kotarō? take your time and thank you!

Oooh, so more comfort from (and for!) our dear warriors! Well, I can't exactly say no to that, can I? Two shinobi and two samurai, coming right up! Enjoy!

🩹 Bandaged Bodies, Gentle Souls - SB Imagines 🩹

After a long, grueling battle alongside your partner, you both finally have time for some much needed rest. But it's not just fatigue weighing you down- it's the wounds you acquired as well. So, before your brief reprieve from war, you need to make sure you won't collapse on the floor when you try to do anything even remotely taxing.

🩹 Masamune 🩹

Masamune is not happy. Not at all. First he gets wounded, then you get wounded, and now he has to endure the terrible monotony of "getting rest"? Unacceptable. But he knows all too well that he can't hide it from you. And even if he could somehow hide it from you, he wouldn't be able to hide it from his other eye, Kojūrō. Besides, the last time he tried to hide his wounds, he ended up bedridden in the castle of his rival's lord. Not his proudest moment.

At least you're the one cleaning his wounds. He insisted he'd do yours first, but you shut him down, as his wounds were more severe than yours. Yours aren't bleeding profusely like his are.

You're gentle the entire time, offering words of comfort whenever he can't help himself but wince in pain. He feels a bit embarassed, but you don't poke fun at him. After all, he doesn't do it to you, either. You make sure to bandage him up well so you don't have to worry about him bleeding out while you sleep. This isn't the first time, after all- and you doubt it will be the last time. But you hope that one day, it will be.

You eventually switch places, with Masamune clumsily trying to take care of your wounds. He's a great fighter and knows a lot, but this isn't his strong suit. And seeing you wounded... it gets to him. His hands shake a bit whenever he cleans off a bit of blood or bandages a gash. He hates seeing you hurt. But at the same time, the way your movements come together with his when you face the enemy together, the way your eyes glint when you spar... no, he wouldn't have you any other way. As long as you live, as long as you are by his side, he'll be happy. And he'll be proud.

With your guidance, he eventually manages to fix you up, and so you both decide to go sleep. It has been a day full of excitement, and there is nothing you want more than to fall asleep at each other's side and forget about the troubles in the world. You fall asleep almost instantly, and Masamune watches you with his one eye, smiling.

He's lucky to be loved by such a kind, strong warrior.

🩹 Sasuke 🩹

Sasuke is a bit smug about the whole situation. Of course, it's not like he enjoys being wounded, and he absolutely doesn't like to see you hurt, but he won't deny that he enjoys the soothing touch of your hands on his body. Being a ninja, he didn't really get to enjoy anything like that before he got together with you, and a part of him definitely still feels a bit of guilt over giving in so easily.

But how could he not? The moment Yukimura brought you in as a fledgling warrior, grinning from ear to ear as he talked about how you were his good friend and an amazing fighter, he couldn't keep his eyes off you. And now it was pretty much a given.

He jokes a bit with you when you tell him to stop moving so you can bandage him better. You act like you're not amused, but it's hard to hold in that smile for too long. Even when you're both so tired and hurt, he knows how to bring up your mood. And he even listens to you this time, going a bit more still so you can work your magic. He relaxes, tensing up only when you touch a paritcularly sore spot. And even when you do, he doesn't seem particularly bothered. He's always been the easygoing type, at least out of battle.

After a while, you're done and so he repays you in kind. He can be a bit rough on accident, but he's very skilled at this otherwise. After all, a proper shinobi is good at more than just fighting. He's very quick, too. If you were worse off, he'd probably even use one of his shadow clones to help out, but he feels confident by himself here. When you flinch in pain, he makes sure to distract you, and before you know it, he's done, and you're getting dragged off into a pile of warm blankets. He's quite tired too, but he still makes a point to stay up a bit later than you so he can run his fingers through your hair.

All is well, at least for tonight.

🩹 Kojūrō 🩹

Kojūrō doesn't really complain. He's mature enough to not be embarassed or bothered about the whole thing. He knows his wounds aren't looking the best, so why would he refuse an offer to help from someone he cares about dearly? It's much better than someone else doing it. While he doesn't show it very openly around others, he adores physical affection from you.

He's fairly calm and relaxed the whole time. Doesn't talk much, but that's the One Eyed Dragon's best commander for you- he speaks when he feels that it matters, not wasting time with unneeded words. But even still, the way his eyes went softer the moment your fingers touched his body is a clear indication how grateful he is. He doesn't even need to say anything. You understand, he knows you do.

You can feel him tense up whenever you touch a painful wound, but usually, the only sound he lets out is a loud huff. He's been through worse, this is nothing to him in terms of pain. The comfort sure feels nice, though. And you can't help but smile when you see the stoic samurai relax for once.

When you inevitably finish fixing him up and it's his turn, he pulls you closer and has a firm hold of you with one hand at least most of the time. It's a habit he got thanks to Masamune. The Lord used to squirm a lot in his younger days. And while you never do, he still does it. You don't stop him. It gives an odd sense of safety you don't get with anyone else. He also scolds you a bit under his breath when he sees a scratch or a bruise that could have been easily avoided, but you can hear some amusement in his voice as well.

Even though he's tired, he doesn't want to go to sleep yet once he's done, so he lets you curl up next to him and reads you some poetry he's grown to cherish.

There's no other place he'd rather be.

🩹 Kotarō 🩹

Kotarō really, really didn't want you to do this for him. Not because he hates you touching him - on the contrary, he enjoy your presence very much, even the physical kind. But he hates it when you worry about him. it took you a bit to figure it out, since he's spoken like 10 words to you in the course of your entire relationship, but such is the way of things. It's rare for him to get an injury of any kind... so of course, you're on high alert everytime you see even a scratch on him. It's not like you do it on purpose, but you do care deeply for your shadowy lover, which is why you had to chase him down (while being quite hurt yourself) to even get him to listen to you.

He eventually agrees to let you take care of him, under the conditions that he won't have to take his mask off and that you will not, under any circumstance, fuss too much over his injuries and that you will not do that sad little sigh you do everytime you see anything wrong with him. You think that's reasonable, and so you finally drag him back to your bedroom to fix him up.

His face is as expressionless as ever, not betraying a single emotion. If he's in pain, he certainly doesn't let it show. But not even his years of training can stop the way his musles relax when you take care of all that's ailing him. He's enjoying the attention. He just doesn't want you to feel sad because of him, as you're the most precious thing in his life and he is still geting a hang of this whole relationship thing. Well, with him, it's more like an "acting like a regular human being" thing. Or acting like... whatever he is with those funny eyes of his, you never really asked. Not like it matters.

When it's his turn to take care of you, he seems to know where you're hurting without you even telling him. He's fast and efficient, too. But he makes sure not to be too rough. He knows you can take a bit of pain as a fellow warrior, but he's not taking any chances. He's honestly fussing over you too, in his own strange, quiet way. When he's done, he gently pats your head, as if to say "good job".

If he's tired, you wouldn't know, but you drag him under the covers anyway, while he lets you rest your head on his chest, watching over you.

The shadows seem more inviting than scary when he's around.

---

Well look who finally decided to finish some imagines again! This time a bit more sweet, which is good, because the other two requests I've gotten will feature heavy angst.

For some reason I like to think our dear Kojūrō enjoys poetry, so I added it as a nice little touch. These have been fun to write!

The other request that's already in progress is a tad delayed I'm afraid, as I will most likely be rewriting one of the imagines there from scratch, so I kind of wasted some time and effort on that one. But I hope to post it soon nonetheless, so please, look forward to it!

And as always...

Have a great day!
