This is a request from @_LadyMoka_. I hope you like the result!

It's not like Seiya has to fight enemies everyday. As ridiculous as it sounds, not every threat on humankind has to be handled by Sanctuary. Most things are handled by the police, the armies and politicians. But even then, most bronze saints don't handle such situations but the gold saints would be the ones to handle such dangerous situations. Of course, after the Civil War in Sanctuary and two Holy Wars against Poseidon and Hades, the previous generation of gold saints has died, leaving behind a big gap to fill. There were talks of Seiya filling in the role of the Sagittarius Gold Saint but he declined that offer.

At least until we both became adults.

Before the two of us got married, I would always stay at my family's home, praying that my boyfriend would eventually return to me. A saint's battle doesn't last long. Most battles ended after a day. But Seiya still spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital, not able to leave, even if he wanted to. I can't deny that I felt lonely whenever I would return home with no Seiya to talk to. Or sitting at his bedside, watching his motionless form. At least back then I could sit by his side, seeing and holding his body until I had to return home.

But after Seiya became the Sagittarius Saint, many things had to change. First of all, Seiya's visit to Sanctuary became more recent and lasted longer, especially after Saori started to live in Greece. At that time I was attending a college and still lived with my family, since it was cheaper that way. None of us had cell phones, so I could only try to write him letters, waiting patiently for him to respond. Loneliness made me so anxious, whenever I didn't get a letter in time, I would start to worry whether Seiya had been pulled into a battle.

I was sitting in a lesson, when I looked out the window and saw my boyfriend standing outside on campus, looking my way and waving his hand. The second the lesson was over, I dashed out of the building into Seiya's arms "You are back!" I kissed his nose, his cheeks and tightly hugged him, not wanting to let go.

Happy, Seiya embraced me against his strong chest, nuzzling my hair "I get to stay a month and I didn't want to waste a single day. I simply had to come and see you."

At that point I didn't mind that other people were watching us, I simply wanted to be with my boyfriend, who I missed so much. Pressing a kiss to his lips, I asked "Where do you wanna go?"

"There is something I want to talk with you about. Would you be willing to accompany me?" Holding out his arm like a gentleman, I simply hugged it next to me.

With a bright smile I responded "Since you are asking so nicely."

I followed Seiya to a nearby park and we sat down on a bench, ready for the important talk "What would you think about moving with me to Greece?" He asked bluntly, watching my shocked expression. Before I could say anything, he added "Of course, it would be after you finish college."

"I don't know... I mean- I don't speak Greek and I am not sure whether I could find a job in Greece." It was a very hard thing to consider, especially since it wasn't about moving to another city but another country, another continent.

Understanding my worries, he then compromised "And... what if you lived in my apartment?"

"Huh?"

Hesitantly, he took my hands in his eyes, not daring to look up in my eyes "I know you never talk about it but you feel lonely without me by your side... And honestly, I feel the same way about you." He raised out hands, nuzzling the back of them with his cheek "It's just... We have been together for years and if I knew that my girlfriend was waiting for me at home... OIt would make me really happy, you know..." Finally looking up, his reddish brown eyes widen at the sight of my flushed cheeks.

Me and Seiya... sharing one home?

Just thinking about it made my heart race in happiness!

It was my turn to nuzzle his hands with my cheek, looking a little bashful "You mean it? Do you really want to live with me? Even though you will be gone for a while?"

Smiling, he scooped closer and placed his forehead to mine "There is not any other person I would rather live with."

Me moving in with Seiya was my first step in getting closer with my boyfriend. Since I was still in the same city, I could still visit my family. But the biggest plus point was how often Seiya tried to return to my side, to our home. But even if he was gone to Sanctuary, I felt less lonely, living in Seiya's home with his scent. Sometimes I would take one of his clothes from the closet and snuggle with them at night, imaging that my boyfriend was there with me.

For two years we continued to live in his old studio apartment in Tokyo. In my last year of college we both turned 20 years old and I already had plans. The day Seiya returned to Tokyo, he was gone for a month to oversee matters in Sanctuary. When he returned home, I gave him a tight squeeze upon seeing him at campus. Excited, I took his hand "Come! I have something to tell you!"

I led him to the park nearest to my college and we sat down on a bench. Curious, he asked "What important news do you have for me?"

Pressing my palms together in front of my chin, I grew a little nervous "I was thinking about our future. And since you now have an important position in Sanctuary... it would be inconvenient to move back and forth. So..." Gulping at the ball forming in my throat, I exclaimed "Why don't we move to Athens?"

"Athens? Like... near Sanctuary? The both of us?"

Flustered, my pressed hands were pushed against my mouth, trying to stop me from making a stupid noise. Gathering the little courage I had left, I finally continued "I started learning Greek the last two years and... I already reached out to an acquaintance of mine to get a job."

"You don't have to go that far." Seiya reassured me "I'm a gold saint now. I can move at the speed of light! If I really want to, I can meet you in an instance. You don't have to go out of your way, so I don't have to move between continents."

I gave him a shy smile and mumbled "Well... this is also for myself..." I started to get goosebumps and rubbed my arms to get rid of them "I want to spend more time with you. And when I move to Greece... I don't need to wait for a month to see you again."

It was a big step for me but I finally had the courage to pull through with it.

If I had to move continents, then I would do it for Seiya.

Relieved, Seiya pressed the back of his hand against his mouth, blushing shyly "I'm really happy... that you say that."

He looked so cute like that.

I pressed a kiss against his hand, chuckling in amusement "Do you think you can move me to your house?"

"It's a hut in Sanctuary... So, it wouldn't be a good place... for you..." His hand was blushing furiously after my kiss, so he put it down, giving me a shy look "But we can always look for living places in Athens... We can make ourselves a new home... Just for us..."

"I like that idea." I pressed a kiss to his nose and then we finally gave each other long, cherishing kisses.

And my lonesome days were shortened dramatically.
