I Always Keep My Promise: (Maquia X Male Oc Reader)

Character 3: [New Family and Home and keeping out some pests]

3rd Pov:

Outside of Maquia's and Ariel's home, Yutaro was seen in some normal clothes and wreaking some hay for the horse he brought a day ago. After deciding to stay with Maquia and be Ariel's unofficial surrogate dad, he has taken his job very seriously and has been doing most of the hard work around the house, such as fixing the roof when it rains, feeding the horse and cleaning it's pen, cooking their meal's which they both enjoyed along with White Fang, and teaching Ariel some fighting techniques.

Even though Maquia was a bit hesitant to let Ariel learn to fight, she reluctantly agreed but only wishes for Yutaro to go easy on him. To which he thankfully did, and has given some useful tips when Ariel is ever in a tight situation. Especially self-defense techniques.

Sometimes he'd take Ariel out on fishing at a large lake nearby, which had a lot of fishes and other marine creature's. But later that day they accidentally woke up a sleeping sub-adult Lagiacrus, which Yutaro easily delt with and took home for dinner.

He wipes off the sweat on his forehead and sigh's as the hot rays of the sunlight shine's down on him.

Yutaro: "I hate sunny day's..." He sighed, irritated by the constant heat he has to deal with during mid-days.

Maquia: "True, but it does give us a beautiful view of our home's, doesn't it?" She asked walking up to him from behind with a smile on her face.

He smile's back and gently pull's her into a hug which she smile's and hug's him back.

Yutaro: "I guess...but it isn't as beautiful as the angel in my arm's." He teased which made Maquia blush a little before smiling and pushing him back slightly.

Maquia: "Mou, will you stop that? It's embarrassing." She said trying to hide her blushing face.

Yutaro: "Hehehe, sorry, I just couldn't resist it." He chuckled as he places the pitchfork over his shoulder and follow's Maquia back to their house.

While they were making there way back to the house, they can hear the sound of Ariel's laugh's and White Fang barking happily. This made the two smile, hearing them having fun together was something they really wished for, and it seems to have worked really well.

Yutaro: "Seems like Ariel really like's Fangy." He smiled as he opens the door for Maquia who silently thanks before walking in.

Maquia: "I was a bit worried when you said that he was a wolf pup, I guess I just worried too much." She said.

Yutaro: "I'll cook, you take a break." He said trying to reach for the cabinet but Maquia stop's him and shake's her head.

Maquia: "No let me Yutaro, you've already done enough for today. So let me cook lunch for today." She replied.

Seeing that she wasn't taking no for an answer, he sigh's and reluctantly nod's before sitting down on one of the table chair's.

Yutaro: "Alright, Alright fine." He sighed, taking a towel and wiping the swear off his face and neck.

Maquia: "Just take a break for now, just relax." She said ruffling his hair, he chuckles and gently grabs her hand and kisses her palm which made her blush immensely.

Yutaro: "I will, just be careful alright?" He said softly and genuine smiling.

Maquia: "I will, but please...let's just keep this natural for now." She whispered before pulling back her hand and goes to make their lunch, but Yutaro can clearly see a smile forming on her face.

After awhile with Maquia nearly done making it, they suddenly hear a commotion outside where the pen for Yutaro's horse was. The sound of his horse neighing out in shock catches their attention.
