CAELUM

CHAPTER 25

RHIAN'S POV:

Sunrays gently hitting my back tells me that the morning has finally come. Opening my eyes slowly to the light, I find a puppy sleeping all curled up in the rug. Wondering who this puppy is? He's none other than Yeol. Many think he is a well-built, strong, manly person who has no cute or soft side. He surely is all of that but he is extra cute and soft. Who knew this giant is a big puppy and a complete goofball? Though we had a small fight yesterday, yet I'm here admiring this cutie. How could anyone be mad at a person whose one sorry is enough to make all your anger vanish, like poof? Well, I can't. My fingers gently trace his features while sleeping and a smile appears on my face. I love him too much.

Slowly removing his arm around my waist, I get up from the bed without waking him up. Stretching myself, I make my way to the washroom to brush my teeth. After 10-15 mins of freshening up, I go out of the washroom all energized and find my puppy husband stirring on the bed. * Oh, he's waking up maybe*. I comb my hair and go sit beside him to wake him up. Getting inside the rug and also on top of him, I say "Good morning Yeolieee". "Morning Rhiu". He responds in his raspy morning voice and opens his half sleepy eyes. "Time to wake up". "Nope, I'll sleep more". I pout. He smiles and keeps his arm around my waist, bringing me close to him so that I keep my head on his chest. Chuckling he says "Cutie, sleep for some time".

I huff and play with his shirt. Staying like that for a good 15 mins, he hugs me tightly and puts me on the bed such that I'm beneath him. I look at him while blinking my eyes. He supports himself on his arms and starts placing kisses on my forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks basically all over my face and further going to my neck and I laugh softly as it tickles me. "C-chan they are tickling me, s-stop". "Nope, your punishment for waking me up". I try pushing him but he lies on his back. Caressing my cheek and putting a few strands of my hair behind my ear, he says "I love you". I smile. "I love you too". I peck his soft lips. "Now let's get up hmm". "Hmm, not before a proper morning kiss". He kisses me and his kisses are always sweet and soft. "Now, this is called a good morning". I chuckle. "Sure, and by the way,  today is the fencing and archery match right". "Hmm yeah". "Who all are in it". "Soo, Baekhyun, Xiumin and Yixing". "Ooh okay". "Though they doubt Hadrian is behind all this, they just want to come straight up to a surety that it's him". "Hmm".

I know what all happened between her and Hadrian. All of us know it. "What are you thinking". "Huh... about Seren and Hadrian's past". "What about it?". "Just heard Hadrian talking to Seren and telling her to be his friend again when he wasn't even there with her when she needed him". "Hmm". "Seren has forgiven him for all that he did, but she definitely hasn't forgotten it". "No one can Rhiu". "Hmm, yeah". He kisses my forehead. "Don't worry, Seren knows what's right and wrong". I smile and nod. "Yep, she is". "So...... should we continue what we were doing hmm". "Hu-." Before I could complete my sentence, he starts tickling me with his kisses. Mornings at times are really tickly but never bad when he's with me. "Babe". "Hmm". "Can you wear a watch that I give you?". "Hmm alright". I don't question him because I'm sure he has a reason behind telling me to wear the watch he will give me. I wonder what's going in his mind though.

NAOMI'S POV:

Baekhyun is gearing up for the match whereas I'm just looking at him practice. *How can he be so handsome, while shooting* Unknowingly I keep looking at him. No matter how much he practices, he doesn't sweat. But he grows more handsome the more he practices. The way he confidently holds the gun in his hand. Pulling the trigger, the shot fires and hits the bull's eye. I clap and he looks in my direction. I'm awestruck as my mouth hangs open a little. He chuckles. "Liked it?". I nod. More than that, what caught me is the look in his eyes. Fierce. Never knew even Fierceness can be this hot.

"Naomi, come here. I need help". "Oh okay". I go to him and stand. "What's it". Looking at him, I see a smug plastered on his face. *Is he perhaps planning something*. He removes the safety gloves and the next moment, I see him close to me with my back being against the wall. Before I could open my mouth to speak, he shuts it by placing I finger on my lips. I take that cue to keep quiet. He leans closer to my face which tenses me up. "Can you hear that?" I look at him and he looks at me. His eyes are so deep. "H-hear W-what?". He motions me to place my ear on the wall and concentrate.
