Home (Diluc Ragnvindr)

Four

As the pale crescent moon shone like a silver claw in the night sky, blanket of stars that stretch to infinity.

The (hair color) female starts to wake up after having a high fever for two straight days. Blinking a couple times, you realize you didn't feel that bad as you tried to recall what happened last time.

You remember falling asleep in the arms of your lover after he saved you.

Speaking of your lover, where is Diluc?

"I'm here, Love"

It was a soft and gentle tone that makes you look to your side

There he was, handing you a glass of water as he sat on a chair right beside the bed while you sat up. Beside him was the night stand with wet and dry towels and water basin. It seems like he had taken care of you, there were even bags under his eyes that makes your heart ache.

Taking the glass of water, you took your time as you drink to observe his figure, if you were being honest, he look exhausted, it hasn't been that long since he come back but he look stressed out.

For a moment, your hand that was holding the glass of water couldn't help but to grip tighter.

Nevertheless, clearing your throat, you asked

"Just finished patrolling around the city?"

You pass him the empty glass and make yourself feel more comfortable leaning against the headboard of your shared bed

He just humm and nod, placing the glass on the night stand.

Then there was silence, it was a heavy and awkward one, as of both of you have something to say but doesn't know when to start.

"I want to go out"

You stated looking at the moon from the window

"Care to join me?"

"Wait here a second"

He stated as he sat up from his seat

Heading out where his dark brown coat was casually picking it up and heading back to you, wrapping it over your shoulder, wanting to pick you up but instead offer you a hand.

"It's cold outside"

By his words and action, you couldn't help but to let out a chuckle, accepting his hand

Those hands were once tiny and soft, but now it was firm, rough, large, and has scars. But holding that was enough to make you feel safe, it was warm, always have been.

"Wow, it's really cold"

You laugh and warp his coat around go even better

"I told you"

He let out a chuckle, then proceed to warp his arms around you from behind, resting his forehead on your shoulder as he breath in your scent

You two are currently on the veranda of your shared room, his former room that he now shared with you. Just staring at the midnight sky in silence.

"Diluc?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you remember the first time we met when we were young?"

"I do"

It was one of those peaceful days, it was nostalgic enough to remember it. When you are young, your parents would often visit him and his father together with you. And you and Diluc would aways be paired up with each other while you parents talk.

You were pretty much a shy perdon back then, but Diluc manage to get you out of your little shell and tell you about the world. You remember hiding on the back of your parents when you first met him, so he was the one to approach and held out a hand.

So when lost your parents during the attack of the abyss order when you were young, the father and son duo kept you in, so you were thankful for them.

At first you treated, or at least you tried to see Diluc as a brother figure, but you realize you really can't control your feelings that much. So you confess at the age of sixteen, to your surprise, he told you he felt the same way, and his father was so glad about that.

"(First name)?"

"Yes dear?"

You felt him place his chin on top of your head

"Do you think aunt and uncle will approve our relationship?"

You wonder for awhile before letting out a giggle

"They would, they love you like their own son even before"

You stated nuzzling on his chest

"Then, will you marry me?"
