"I'm going to get something to snack on while we watch the movie. You pick it out. Anything is fine with me." Ryujin said and put the remote on your lap and then kissed your cheek before getting up.

You started to flip through the channels in search of something to watch.

But you jumped as soon as you heard the scream fall from Ryujin's lips.

You got up right away and ran to her side.

"Ryujin? Ryujin, baby, are you okay?" You asked as you hurried into the kitchen. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

You cupped her cheeks in your hands and started to look her over, finding that her eyes were huge and full of fear.

"What happened?" You asked and she turned you around, letting you see the giant bug crawling across the kitchen floor.

It was making its way to you and Ryujin, scurrying across the floor.

"I'll find something to grab it with and then we can get rid of it." You said and planned to go across the room for a cloth, but Ryujin quickly protested with a whine.

She put her hands on your shoulders and stayed behind you, using you as a shield from the creepy crawly.

"Ryujin, it's okay! It's just a bug!"

"Y/N, you know I'm scared of bugs!" She whined and wrapped her arms around you. "Wherever you go, I'm going with you. You stay in front of me and walk first."

"Are you using me as a human shield?" You asked her in disbelief.

"Don't look at me like that. I've told you a thousand times that I'm scared of bugs!"

"What if I was scared of bugs? You wouldn't protect me?"

"Not in this case, no." She quickly answered and walked with you as you walked back to the counter behind you, grabbing a few tissues to grab it with.

"Where'd it go?" You asked and watched Ryujin's eyes get bigger and you laughed, nodding to the creepy crawly that was still near the same spot it'd been before.

"That's so mean!"

You grabbed the bug and walked past her to go to the downstairs bathroom, making your way down the hall to flush the toilet.

You watched the bug go down and Ryujin peeked into the room, looking cautious with every step she took.

"You should flush it a few more times, just to be safe."

"Baby, it's gone." You laughed but seeing that she was genuinely freaked out, you flushed it a couple more times to be sure.

"Better?"

"Yes. Thank you." She said. "Although what you did to me back there was mean."

"Sorry, darling. I couldn't resist. You're just so cute."

"Well, you're my hero." She said and kissed your lips a few times.

"I better be. I don't like bugs all that much either and you used me as a human shield." You grumbled and she laughed as she put her arms back around you, walking back down the hall and into the living room with you in her embrace.
