The cold breeze of the elysian mountains hit my face, blazing a sense of ataraxia in me. I looked around and grasped the beauty of the heavenly land I was surrounded with.

A slow stream of water passing a few steps away from me, made the land look no less than a paradise. The birds sitting over the branches of Sakura trees chirped a melodious song amongst themselves, adding to the serenity of the panorama. If all that wasn't heavenly enough, the ethereal rising sun crowned the glory of the mountains.

I closed my eyes and allowed the peaceful aura of the morning to rejuvenate me, washing off every ounce of tumult from my mind.

This is peace, I wish I could stay here forever.

A scrumptious fragrance of food infiltrated my mind, causing me to open my eyes and turn towards the source of mouth-watering aroma.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw Shubman standing next to a tiny barbeque grill, flipping something, a glorious dimpled smile embellishing his face. Next to him stood my forever hungry Zoro, wearing his 'I'm always hungry' collar and tugging at Shubman's trousers.

Shubman stopped flipping whatever he was cooking and looked down at Zoro, then picked up the frisbee lying next to his feet and threw it, causing our overexcited pup to run towards it. He chuckled as he watched Zoro run like a lunatic, shaking his head in amusement.

As if he felt my gaze, he looked at me, his heartwarming smile widening as a result. A feeling of warmth engulfed my heart as I watched him look at me, causing my feet to stroll towards him unconsciously.

The moment I reached him, his arms encircled around my waist, pulling me towards him. I smiled at him, my heart fluttering at his loving gaze. He leaned forward and placed a kiss on my cheek, springing a rosy tint on my face.

A sudden rush of shyness enveloped me, causing me to lower my face in diffidence. Seconds later, his right index reached my chin, lifting it upwards and making me look into his beautiful eyes.

"Hi, Baby." He said, a tiny smile adorning his face.

"Hi." I muttered, in a hushed voice, trying my best to compose my shyness.

He continued staring into my eyes, a teasing glint emerging in his. If I wasn't blushing enough already, his gaze made me fluster harder. I turned my face towards my right, striving to hide my red as beet face from him.

"Why so shy, Kaddu?" He asked, in a low mischievous voice.

I didn't reply to his question, and continued looking to my right, suppressing my shy smile from widening.

"Do you know how cute you look while blushing?" He said, in a raspy voice.

That voice.

He leaned forward and stopped a few centimetres away from my left ear, and whispered, "Do you know the things that face makes me want to do to you?"
