Figured I would just put all my random drabbles on Ichihime x Caesar in one place. Enjoy!

Life in the West Star!AU
Ichihime studied her reflection on the mirror as she smoothened the puffy black skirt of her Western ball gown. It was Caesar's idea that she dress in a traditional Western outfit for the party. Still, she shifted uncomfortably.
"Why are you frowning, my dear?" Caesar asked smoothly as he settled himself behind her.
Ichihime glanced at the blue eyes of her husband's reflection on the mirror before replying quietly. "I'm just not used to exposing my neck and shoulders, Caesar-dono."
"Is that so?" he mused as he traced the low neckline softly and she inhaled deeply, the touch tingling her senses. "You can perhaps wear a necklace."
She smiled at his practical advice. "That's a good idea, my lord." Carefully, she opened her jewelry box and examined its contents. She tried the pearls—and he shook his head. The jade necklace was next, followed by the ruby teardrop amulet, both of which were rejected by the general.
Ichihime sighed wearily. "Your taste in jewelry is exquisite, Caesar-dono, but you couldn't even approve of one." She took the pearl necklace again, placed it against her neck and said boldly, "I will be wearing the pearls."
He furrowed his brows and gently took the pearl necklace from her hands. Finally, he smirked. "I have a better option for you." He pulled a string from his pocket and held it in front of her.
Ichihime's eyes widened upon seeing the black stone encased inside a silver six-pronged star. "Caesar-dono, that's your regalia."
Nodding, he positioned himself behind her and looped the string around her neck. Adjusting the length of the string so that the regalia fell at the base of her throat, he knotted the string securely.
He was looking intently at her reflection on the mirror, a smug smile on his lips, "And it does look much better around your neck."
Unsure, she touched the cold regalia. "Are you sure?"
"Of course," he whispered against her ear as he winked at her. "It would also make sure no unwanted men seek you."
She blushed deeply. "I doubt it would pose much of a problem anyway." But she did not remove it.
Caesar smirked."It's better safe than sorry, my dear."
Of course no men would dare make a move on Ichihime especially since she was practically broadcasting that she was his by wearing his regalia around her neck.
And that, was just how Gaius Julius Caesar wanted it to be.
'Cause Caesar has such beautiful regalia.
