"Love, can I ask you something?" Luna’s eyes sparkled with mischief, her gaze fixed on Gale's.
"Hmm, sure," Gale responded, a playful glint in his eyes as he gently pinched her cheek.
"Aww, that hurts!" Luna pouted, clutching her cheek as if it were wounded, her face contorted in mock outrage. Gale laughed and kissed her forehead, his voice filled with affection. "You're so dramatic."
Luna's laughter bubbled up, her cheeks flushed with a happy warmth. "You never fail to make me smile," she confessed, her heart swelling with a sense of contentment.
"Hmm, I thought you were going to ask me a question," Gale teased, pinching her other cheek, earning a playful swat from Luna. "What is it?"
"Pfft, start your question, Ms. Xyle," Gale chuckled, enjoying her flustered reaction. Luna's face flushed a rosy red, her cheeks turning a shade of crimson.
"Okay, shut up," Luna muttered, trying to regain her composure. "Give me five 'what ifs' that would hurt me." She said it with a playful smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Love, you know I don't want to hurt you—"
"Silly, just this once. Don't be overreacting, pretty please?" Luna pleaded, her voice laced with sweetness.
"Fine," Gale surrendered with a grin, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "I'll just write them down." He grabbed a scrap of paper and scribbled down his list.
"Here," he said, handing the paper to Luna.
Luna scanned the list, her brow furrowing as she read:
1. What if you were a mushroom forever?
2. What if there was no makeup in the world?
3. What if ice cream was forbidden?
4. What if I threw your Wattpad book away?
5. What if Wattpad disappeared?
"Why did you write some silly words?" Luna complained, her lips pouting in mock offense.
"Like I said, my love, I don't want to hurt you. You're special to me, and I would regret hurting the most beautiful woman I've ever loved. I don't wanna hurt you, okay? I've already promised that I won't hurt you like your ex," Gale said, sealing his promise with a kiss.
"It's not even hurtful," Luna grumbled, still pouting.
"Yes, it is. You're an ice cream and Wattpad lover. I know that because I love you." Gale said, pulling her into a warm embrace, his voice filled with affection.
