Barley Lightfoot with a tiefling s/o

A/n: most of my tiefling knowledge comes from dnd so I’m basing this off that lore

First of all Barley thinks you are absolutely incredible, magical even. Everything from your beautiful horns to your long tail that wags when you’re happy he’s just so enamored but you

He’s mostly in love with your eyes, finding them to be similar to the ancient dragons of the realm, which fits with the arcane ability all tieflings have which was fire resistance and an ability to breathe and control it

You two play quests of yore religiously, and he always listens to you dump about tiefling culture and traditions to make his game more historically accurate that and he loves how your eyes (which are usually slits) go all wide and sparkily

Your natural heat makes you a great cuddle buddy, especially in winter when you get a ring of fur around your neck, it’s so soft and nice to cuddle into but a pain to take care of

You also use your tail to pull him into cuddle mode, or just whenever you want to be near him, of course he also pulls you (gently) by the tail to do the same.

Cuddling can be hard depending on horn shape and size but you two always find a way to make it work. Wether it be he snuggled into your tummy or you keep your horns on the shorter side

However he is always there to help you with self care, wether it be to help sharpen your horns or to help get the hard to reach areas when you have to shave your ring of fur for the summer months

Over all he loves you and defends your honor fiercely, no one is allowed to call you a devil or demon on his watch and anyone who mocks you for your horns and cloven hooves (if your lineage is more close to demons) need to be wary or else he will challenge them to a foam sword battle in the parking lot and win

    Barley walks into your shared room where you'd been laying in bed on your phone, he sighs, slumping his shoulders. His eyes looked so tired.

    "Hi," you say softly, looking at him from over your phone. "Hi," he replies in a grumble.

    "You okay?" You ask in a gentle voice. He shakes his head, defeated. 

    "Work was rough?" You speak tenderly. He exhales deeply, nodding solemnly.

    You pout slightly, placing your phone down onto the blanket beside you. You open your arms, doing a grabby motion to him, "C'mere."

    He gives you a small smile, crawling onto the bed and flopping down on top of you. You let out a huff, smiling as you hear him giggle. He relaxes, resting his head on your chest.

    You carefully take his beanie off and place it on your nightstand, then moving your hand to massage his scalp. Your other hand then moves to gently scratching his upper back, just barely touching. 

    You feel him physically deflate, like all of his pent up frustration just disappeared as he sighs. You smile down at him as his fingers wander tiredly along your outer thigh.

    "Hey, how about we order in some takeaway? Pizza, chinese, your choice," He chuckles, humming positively in response. 

    "We can also watch a movie, I can run down to the store and buy some snacks. And this time, you can choose what we watch, yah?" You speak somberly. 

    Barley nods his head, "Yes to all of that, but can we just stay like this for now?" He looks up at you tiredly. 

    You nod your head gently, "Of course we can, teddy," you pet his hair, lovingly kissing the top of his head.

    "Thank you, sweetness," he says gratefully, snuggling into you.
