G-gladiator iwa, you said?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who is built with muscles and scars all over his arms and legs which only serve to remember his victories even when his opponent thought he was going to lose?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who is tatted and pierced (did you know Julius Cesar had his nipples pierced?? Like, could you imagine Iwa-)?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who is so famous and celebrated that he can asks so many favours without being questioned, so he asks you, a simple handmade of some rich family, to attend to him before going to battle?
Who makes you enter his tent alone to oil his skin to protect him from the sun, thus having to massage his muscles with his big, warm, calloused hands covering your small ones to show you how to do it?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who makes you wait in his tent while he fights in the arena, making you sick with worry because you have no idea if he's still alive or not?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who finally, finally comes back to his tent running as fast as he can (and limping a bit) because he knows you're still there and nobody warned you about him winning the battle, entering the tent to find you sitting in a corner, holding your dress tightly, trembling, pale in the face so that he rushes to you to hug you tight and calm you down?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who has you wash him after the battle, tend to his wounds and dress him again, blushing and trying not to look too much, just enough to know where you're putting your hands?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who laughs when you accidentally touch his lower abdomen thinking it was his belly and you squeal when you realize you're brushing his happy trail (you were used to trending girls and young women, so he can't exactly blame you)?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who gives you an amused look when you scold him for being too reckless as you apply lotions to his clean, patched up body, not realizing how ridiculous you sound scolding a gladiator for getting hurt?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who becomes infatuated with you and your voice after so many evenings in his tent with you being lit by only a few candles as you tenderly scrub the dirt from his back?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who is so famous and strong and masculine and handsome and attractive and lusted after by women, yet cannot think of a way to court you because he's never been in this situation before?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who asks his friends at the tavern and, after being teased by everyone, settles with buying you a jewel with his savings?
You mean gladiator!Iwa who eventually musters up the courage to give his present to you one evening after finishing his routine, only to hear you say that it would be a perfect gift for a lady as a proposal?
Gladiator!Iwa who is hurt by your words at first, who stays up all night trying to understand where he went wrong, why you rejected him in such an indirect way, and has no idea that you went back to your room in your shared house and stay locked up all night trying to accept the fact that of course your handsome warrior would want to marry into a nice family in order to stop working such dangerous job, and your crush is only in the way.
Gladiator!Iwa who waits for you in his tent the following day to begin his preparing and finds out that you are sick and won't be able to come today once another girl comes in the tent.
Gladiator!Iwa who is worried about you - are you actually sick? Are you avoiding him? Did something bad happen? Will you come back to him? Has he lost you forever? - and because of his incessant thoughts about you, he doesn't pay enough attention during the battle and is seriously wounded in his lower abdomen.
Gladiator!Iwa who still manages to win but it's a close call and as he's rushed in the tent with a physician, he can't help but think of you and how he'd like to hear your soothing voice scolding him for being a reckless idiot and believes he's entering the dead's realm when he actually distinguishes your panicked voice asking to be let in the tent.
Gladiator!Iwa who sees you barreling towards him with fear stricken eyes and pale cheeks yet thinks that you are the most beautiful creature that has ever blessed his heart and if the Gods let him see you one last time then maybe his love wasn't a waste.
Gladiator!Iwa who slips into a deep enough sleep while remembering that it all started when you accidentally touched his lower abdomen, just like you're doing know, except this time you're trying to stop the bleeding.
Gladiator!Iwa who finally wakes up feeling groggy and overall bad but definitely alive still in his tent, laying on his triclinium, and looks to the side to find you, his fair goddess sleeping soundly kneeling on the floor (you sure don't look comfortable) and he wants to smile at you but then notices the dried up tear stains on your cheeks and your disheveled hair as if you'd been pulling on it.
Gladiator!Iwa who shakes you gently to tell you that he's alright and there's no need for you to be worried anymore, but once you two make eye contact you burst into tears while hugging his neck tightly without hurting him as you beg him to propose to his lovely lady and stop fighting and risking his life.
Gladiator!Iwa who has no idea what you're talking about because he's never once mentioned a lady, nevermind proposing and looks utterly confused when you explain that jewels are usually given as a token of love, a promise of fidelity in the early relationship when the couple has the intention to get married.
Gladiator!Iwa who blushes heavily and bows his head as he mumbles that be was not actually trying to propose and there is no rich lady for him, but seeing that you still don't get it, he grits your name while gliding your hand.
Gladiator!Iwa who almost faints when you burst into tears again and is ready to take it all back but then hears you mutter "thank you"s and "thank you Gods" as you finally smile with shiny eyes and your cheeks turn a lovely pink.
Gladiator!Iwa who finally kisses you in his tent, where it all began, thinking that he's glad he didn't die and his time probably hadn't already come and once you two pull away he asks you for a bath, only this time you're coming in the tub too.
