A Twist of Destiny (Naoya x reader)

Epilogue

Naoya always wakes up first in the morning. It had become his silent ritual, a personal indulgence he allowed himself daily. He would lie there, his eyes tracing the gentle curve of your sleeping form, carving every detail to memory. His pride wouldn't let him admit it while you were awake, but in these quiet moments, he was free to admire you without the constraints of his carefully guarded image.

For months now, as husband and wife, he'd felt a strong urge to cuddle you, to pepper your face with kisses. But he always held back, not wanting to reveal a side of himself he considered weak. Today, though, something felt different. The urge was too strong to ignore.

He had been planning a surprise for you: a honeymoon in Santorini, Greece. The idea of whisking you away to a place where no one knew both of you was appealing. He couldn't risk being seen in public acting lovey-dovey with you. Plus, he had the money to make such a grand gesture, so why not?

As he lay there, the sun just beginning to peek through the curtains, he felt his body move on its own. He inched closer to you, placing a soft kiss on your forehead, careful not to wake you up. But the mere contact stirred you from your sleep. Your eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze. Both of you flushed, caught in the intimacy of the moment.

"Good morning," you murmured, hoping that the awkwardness would go away.

"Morning," Naoya replied, his voice softer than usual. He hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "I want to take you on a honeymoon."

You blinked, confusion clouding your still groggy features. "What?"

"I said, I want to take you on a honeymoon. To Santorini, Greece."

A wide smile spread across your face as you processed his words. You couldn't contain your excitement and threw your arms around him in an enthusiastic hug. Naoya was caught off guard, but his heart swelled with happiness. This was the first time he had seen your eyes sparkle since the wedding.

"Really? We're going to Santorini?" you asked, your voice bubbling with joy.

"Yes," he confirmed, feeling an unexpected warmth in his chest. "We leave tomorrow. Start packing."

Later that day, you started packing your bags, your excitement obvious. You video-called your friends to share the news, the smile on your face widening with each update.

Satoru appeared on the screen first, grinning from ear to ear. "You're going to Santorini? That's amazing! By the way, I just applied to become a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Wish me luck!"

Next was Nanami, who listened with a calm expression. "Sounds like things are going well for you. I've decided to leave the world of sorcery and pursue a normal job. I've had enough of curses for one lifetime."

Shoko chimed in, "I'm taking an exam to obtain the doctor's license. I want to be able to treat regular sicknesses as well, not just curse-related injuries."

Suguru and Haibara joined the call last, both looking slightly dishevelled from their latest mission. "We're sticking with the professional sorcerer route," Suguru said with a chuckle. "Someone's gotta keep the curses at bay."

Their supportive words filled you with warmth, refuelling your newfound contentment with life and Naoya's changes. By the time you finished packing, you felt lighter and more hopeful than ever.

The next day flew by in a blur of excitement and travel. Before you knew it, you were standing on the sun-drenched terraces of Santorini, the azure sea stretching out before you. The beauty of the place took your breath away.

Naoya, too, seemed affected by the magic of the island. One evening, as the sun set in a blaze of orange and pink, he turned to you, a rare vulnerability in his eyes.

"I... I love you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Your heart skipped a beat, tears welling in your eyes. This was the first time he had said those words to you. Overwhelmed with emotion, you leaned in and kissed him, pouring all your love and gratitude into that single, passionate kiss.

"I love you too. "

As the sun dipped below the horizon, you and Naoya stood there, holding hands with your fingers intertwined, ready to face the future together. This twist of destiny had united you both in an unexpected love story, the one you would cherish forever.
