Together Forever (Sarvente x Ruv)

Chapter 10

*Sarvente's POV*

     It's been 2 weeks since those rascals broke the church windows. Ruv said he'd pay for the windows to be fixed, but I know he can't use his credit card without it being traced back to him (and he has a very high bounty), which means he's probably been out stealing wallets again.

     Speaking of Ruv, I can tell something is off with him. It feels like he's hiding something from me. I hope it doesn't involve our vow...            No. He would never do that. If it's not about our vow, then what is it? It must be something big. Maybe-   no.  I shake the complete thought out of my head and try to focus on getting out of bed. I've been sitting in my bed, alone with my thoughts, when I should have been up around 30 minutes ago.

     When I get out of bed, Ruv is making breakfast again; spice cake pancakes (again). The one thing he can cook never gets old.

     "Hey,", he says when I enter the room. "is everything fine? You're up later than usual."

     I love how he's always concerned. I know some people hate when others are concerned or worried about them, but I love it, because it shows how much they care. On top of that, he memorized when I get up?

     "Yeah.", I respond. "I think the power went out for some time last night, because my alarm clock was off.", I lie.

     "You're lying.", Ruv says. "You blush when you lie."

     Shit; I blush even harder.

     "Nevermind,", I say awkwardly. "I'll tell you later.", I say, and by later, I mean I don't know if and when I'll tell him.

     He shrugs his shoulders, but I can tell he's still concerned. I decide to turn my attention to breakfast.

     "Thank you for cooking today.", I say. "What's the occasion?"

     "Well, I was kinda hoping we could spend the day together.", says Ruv, blushing.

     "I'd love to," I say. "but who's going to run masses?"

     "I talked with this cross-eyed nun from Fever Town who offered to run them for the day." says Ruv. (Quick Ruv POV: I decide not to bring up the part where I had to confiscate her chainsaw.)

     "Thank you!", I say as I give him a hug. He's blushing again. Is he always this soft around others?

     I sit down and eat some pancakes. I wonder if there is also something too sweet that mortals will die eating.

     After we eat, we go change into our normal clothes and get ready for this fun day. Since I am not serving masses, I don't need to wear my modified dollar-store nun outfit. I put on some pretty but casual clothes (my Lucifer top, my nun boots, and a pink sweater that falls off my shoulders). I comb my hair, but I don't tie it up as I normally do, because I don't have to hide it under my veil. My little horns are sticking out, reminding me of the "monster" I am, that can't go to Heaven until the end of time. I don't know what I'd do or where I'd be if I never met Ruv...

     Once we are both ready for this awesome day, we go to the garden to chat and just hang out. Then, I notice a butterfly has landed on Ruv's ushanka.

     "Ruv, don't move-", I say.

     "Wha-", he says, but I cut him off.

     "There's a butterfly on your ushanka.", I say.

     I grab out my phone and try to take a photo, while Ruv tries not to move. It's funny how someone who can be so violent is capable of being so gentle. After all, he's never been arrested, which tells me that he's very careful.
