The Other Husband [Male! Beldam x reader]

Chapter 6: Bluebeard

"Was it wonderful, dear?" The other husband spoke up after you three left the theater.

"Oh, yeah. They swooped down and pulled me right out of my seat. Spink and Forcible, only they weren't old ladies. That was just a disguise." The other husband's hand went to your back as he pushed you to the front. Other Wybie's smile dropped as he watched you two return to the apartment. You described your feelings as you twirled around. "But then, I was flying through the air, and it was... It was magic."

"You do like it here, don't you, honey?" The other husband asked with a grin.

"Uh-huh. Good night, Wybie." You waved goodbye to Other Wybie as the other husband pushed you ahead of him. He turned around and saw Other Wybie grip his right arm with a saddened face. The other husband silently sent him a toothy grin before closing the door.

The other husband came to your right side with his hand loosely wrapped around your waist. "You could stay here forever if you want to."

"Really?"

"Sure. Living in this magical world, I'll always keep your stomach full and happy, no more blue days. Our baby will be pleased if they live here."

Your hand touched your baby bump and you thought the same as him. The other husband saw how his mention of the baby swayed your mind and your heart. He quickly used the opportunity to offer you a chance to be with him forever.

"There's one tiny little thing we need to do."

"What's that?" You asked as the other husband gently sat you down on the chair.

"Well, it's a surprise." He then went to the side of the table before picking up a green present box with an orange bow from under it and placing it in front of you. "For you, my little doll."

You quickly opened it with a smile before soon frowned at what was inside. It was a pair of black buttons and a needle with a thread.

"Black is traditional." You frowned deeper as you looked up to see the other husband change the color in his button eyes. "But if you'd prefer pink or vermillion or chartreuse, or perhaps (favorite color)..." You gasped with your mouth covered as you realized what he meant. He tapped on the buttons as he had a smirk. "Though you might look more beautiful than you already are."

Your body shook violently and harshly pushing the box away from you. "NO WAY!" The other husband didn't flinch at your outburst as he quickly caught the box in his hand. "YOU'RE NOT SEWING BUTTONS IN MY EYES!" Your hands went to your eyes out of horrified.

"But I need a 'yes' if you want to stay with me. You won't feel any pain, I promise." You bit your lips out of paranoia as your hands went to your cheeks. The other husband quickly fixed the situation as he came to your side and reassured you with a calm and gentle voice. "There, now. It's your decision, darling." He came to your left as he showed you the buttons. "I just hope that you will be with me forever."
