Author's Notes:

This story is inspired by the infamous photo released by Hisako Sato a few weeks back. I have it as my laptop and phone background and I get so many feels looking at it each time. The happiest that Sesshomaru's face shows, Rin laughing. The feels! This is a short sweet fluffy lemon. This is what I would consider a light smut. Do not worry though, I do have some dirty straight up smut that I will be releasing on their corresponding days. 😉

The Most Precious Gift

Sesshomaru watched as Rin trekked through the forest before him. He had taken her out to see a valley of flowers that had just come into bloom. Time stood still for the great demon lord as he watched his young mate softly brush her hands through the flowers as not to disturb them.

As the demon lord took in his young mate's appearance he was puzzled. He had offered to Rin a new yukata and when they reached the kimono artisan, she had picked out the same pattern she wore as a young child. This time though, she had added blue to the green obi.

When Sesshomaru had asked why she picked the same pattern from among the plethora of patterns available, Rin had only smiled and turned back to the artisan.

Sesshomaru found that humans were still a puzzle to him.

Sesshomaru refocused his thoughts back to his mate and he allowed his face to soften as Rin sat down to weave a bundle of flowers she had picked into a crown.

The morning quickly passed as Sesshomaru quietly stood guard while Rin worked on her weaving.

"Ah, my legs." Rin softly called out.

Sesshomaru watched as Rin stretched her legs out in front of her and made to stand up. Coming up behind her, Sesshomaru lifted his mate high into the air, turning her so her hands settled onto his shoulders, and his hands locked in together under her bottom and rested her against his body, their foreheads touching.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin said laughing, her eyes closing in happiness.

Sesshomaru allowed that smile to appear on his face, the smile that he only reserved for her.

The great demon lord watched as Rin opened her eyes and ease away, a small hand coming to cup his cheek and softly caress it.

"Thank you for bringing me out here today, it's beautiful." His mate said.

"Hm." Was the demon lord's only response.

He watched as Rin leaned forward and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips. She had started to pull away when Sesshomaru chased her mouth and deepened the kiss. The kiss continued on until Rin had to pull away to catch her breath.

Breathing heavily, Rin softly said, "My lord?"

Sesshomaru could feel his body start to burn for his young mate. The heat of her body mingling with his, the smell of her faint arousal hitting his senses. Turning Rin's body so one hand was under her knees and the other cradling her back, Sesshomaru took the sky to spirit them away for privacy.

After flying for a few moments, Sesshomaru found a secluded area in a large forest and settle down. He lowered Rin to the ground, but kept his hands on her waist, softly caressing her sides.

Sesshomaru watched as Rin blushed and pressed herself against his body, sighing in contentment.

Sesshomaru continued stroking Rin's sides until she finally pulled back and gently pulled on his robes. Sesshomaru understanding what she wanted leaned forward and kissed his young mate, pulling her close to his body. After a few minutes of gently kissing her supple lips, Sesshomaru stood back to remove his armor and swords, Rin taking them from his hands and laying them down not too far from them.

Taking Rin back into his arms, he started kissing her again, this time probing against her lips with his tongue, asking permission to enter to which she eagerly accepted. With his mouth keeping her occupied he raised his hand to gently massage her covered breast and he heard her give a soft moan, pressing herself closer to his body. Using his thumb, he started gently rubbing it against her nipple feeling it harden beneath his touch.

Rin pulled away at this point, gasping out, "My lord!"

"Shhh." Sesshomaru said, brushing a thumb against her bottom lip. He then had to hold back the groan that threatened to escape his lips when Rin's wet tongue lapped at his thumb.

"Undress." Sesshomaru breathed out.

Sesshomaru step back to undo his robes and watched in fascination as Rin slowly undid her yukata keeping her eyes locked onto his golden gaze.

After divesting himself of his robes, Sesshomaru was about to place them on the ground when Rin stepped forward and took his robes and added them next to her yukata and his armor. He watched as Rin found a soft grassy area to lay down upon. She then laid back and spread her thighs before him and used a finger to call him over to her.

"Come my lord," Rin said softly smiling at him.

Sesshomaru took in his mate's open body before him and allowed that smile to appear on his face again. That smile he only reserved for her.

This wasn't their first time being intimate. They were well past the point of any shyness. For his young Rin to lay there before him now completely spread out only showed how far they had come as a couple sexually. At first, both the youkai and human woman were so new to physical intimacy that their first few encounters were hurried. Other times they fumbled their way through.

Once they had taken their time to slow down and fully explored each other's bodies, their intimacies become more in sync. They were able to see how the other reacted to different touches, what sighs and moans indicating their release was upon them. Her deep inhale, her hips pushing into the air and soft cry indicating that she had found euphoria by his touch, be it either by his mouth, hands, or his member.

Over the course of their intimacies, the great demon lord learned to read her body and she his.

Sesshomaru thought he would never see the day that he would take delight in a human's woman's body.

Now here he stood his member hard, waiting in excitement to join his mate's body.

Having stood still and burning his mate's body to his memory long enough, Sesshomaru slowly walked forward and laid down next to Rin.

"Lord Sesshomaru," Rin said beaming at him in happiness.

Sesshomaru cupped Rin's face and slowly trailed his hand down to her neck, to her clavicle, stopping to cup her breast, gently squeezing and lightly rolling her nipple between his fingers and then down to her smooth stomach. His hand finally reached its destination between her thighs, the tiny nub hidden behind her downy curls.

Taking his time and being mindful of his claws, Sesshomaru started the slow process of gently rubbing against her tiny pearl. Keeping his hand between her thighs, Sesshomaru then lowered his head to her breast, swirling his tongue around the bud and then closing his mouth firmly around the taunt nipple sucking.

After a few minutes of his mouth and fingers working his mate's body, Sesshomaru could feel Rin's body start to produce more of its natural lubrication.

"My lord, please!" Sesshomaru heard his young mate cry out, her arms reaching out towards him.

Sesshomaru withdrew his hands from between her legs and release her nipple from his wet mouth, he coated his hardness with her body's lubrication that was on his fingers, and then crawled over Rin's body and position himself at her wet entrance.

Rin wrapped her arms around his neck and nodded at her lord in reassurance.

Sesshomaru took himself in his hand and gently guided himself to her entrance and in one swift thrust was deeply sheathed in her tight warmth.

Both the demon lord and human woman groaned out in pleasure at being connected.

Sesshomaru started the tempo of softly thrusting into his mate's body, holding one of her thighs over his hip.

Rin's soft cries were like music to his ears, her arms tightening around his neck pulling him down closer to her. He pressed his forehead against her, keeping his tempo steady.

Sesshomaru could feel Rin's hips meeting his thrusts, her small petite body trying to draw him closer and deeper inside herself.

Pulling back and lacing two of their hands together, Sesshomaru sped up the thrust of his hips and heard Rin's breath hitch and her breathing increase.

'She is close.' Sesshomaru thought to himself while angling his hips to rub at her special nub.

Taking the leg that was near his hip, he pushed it so it was against her chest to allow deeper penetration and soon he could feel Rin's body start to clench around him.

Resting more of his weight against his knees, Sesshomaru pushed deeper into Rin's body, wanting to get her across the threshold to her release.

He felt Rin's free leg wrapped around his waist and then he heard it.

Her deep inhale.

He felt her hips pushing into the air.

Sesshomaru dropped her leg and quickly moved his hand between her thighs and lightly pinched at her tiny nub and he heard his mate's siren song call out loudly into the air around them.

Feeling her warmth clench around him, Sesshomaru kept thrusting for a few more moments until his release overtook him and his body still, making sure all of his seed was deeply buried inside his mate's body.

Once his seed stopped spilling, he softly thrust a few more times and then pulled away from Rin's body.

Sesshomaru laid on his back and Rin turned so her head was resting on him, her hand drawing patterns on his chest. They both laid there together in silence catching their breaths.

"You asked why I choose the same pattern for my yukata when I could have chosen from many others." Sesshomaru heard his young mate quietly say.

"Hm."

"When I saw the pattern that day, it reminded me of our first meeting."

Rin then stopped but Sesshomaru could feel that there was more she wanted to say.

Bringing a hand up, he gently caressed her nude back, stating, "Continue."

"Out of all the things I remember in my past, meeting you is one of my happiest memories."

"I was unkind to you." Sesshomaru said thinking back to how he had hissed at her presence.

"Yes, you were but you were also hurt. Our wounds may have been different, but we were two souls that were hurt and found each other."

Rin then lifted her head from Sesshomaru's chest and looking into her lord's eyes, "I saw that pattern that day and remember how happy I was when I woke up in your arms. I don't know if you even noticed but you had the beginnings of a smile on your face when I opened my eyes. After all, these years later, I can see that smile. It's a smile that I only I see, that I can witness. It's a smile that warms my heart when I am alone and thinking of you."

Rin laid her head back down and sighed in happiness, "It's the most precious gift you have ever given me, my lord."

To think that out of all the things he had gifted her over the years, his smile was the one gift she treasured most.

'Humans are indeed odd creatures.' Sesshomaru thought to himself.

Sesshomaru allowed that smile to appear on his face again and wrapped them both in moko-moko, allowing the sun's warmth to bathe them.
