An: sorry for the wait, hope you still enjoy

Most relationships start with a cute meeting spot and lots of time, mine started with a very extravagant magic channeling pose and the struggle to find it a name...

Odin and I haven't exactly been going strong since day one, the first days communication was a struggle considering his... colourful and extensive vocabulary, it took a bit of patience and a whole lot of compromising but it was all worth it, he proposed (it took him explaining the concept of holy matrimony to get to it but he did it!)

Now, unfortunately being still in war time I don't really think balancing responsibilities, duty, strategy ecc is easy on its own, and we both knew adding the weight of a serious relationship could possibly make the scale tip, but we both were willing to give it a try.

We barely had our time to say our I do before mercs attacked camp, do you know how hard it is to fight in a wedding gown and heels? Because I do.

Funny thing was Odin called it 'an endeavour fit for an epic ballad, that will inspire generations to come'

Our happiest days had started nearly a month ago and lately he looked like he was hiding something, I noticed him being more busy than usual and always scribbling something on a paper he'd later hide or destroy...

We'd come home at completely different times and most of our time together was just during meals or while we slept.

Of course being as non confrontational as I always am I simply threw myself into work and hoped the problem would fix itself, well, not exactly...  I planned on talking to him about it but the moment always seemed wrong, what kind of gave me the determination to do it was a comment from someone gossiping about our situation.

"They should have enjoyed the honeymoon phase while it lasted" that comment represented everything I've always hated because:
A) we didn't even have a honeymoon because of the war with hoshido, it's a miracle we found time to get in a church and say out I do
B) a relationship is meant to make your life better, maybe more complicated but not miserable like they were insinuating

The more I thought about it the more I feared that something would change now, I brought home a map to work home, I was planning to finish the task at hand before he arrived and then talk to him, but I kinda lost track of time...

"You seem entrenched in your thoughts, mind to share what your beautiful brain is concocting my love?" He appeared from the doorway, as if summoned by my worries.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is when all the courage  I gathered went down the window.

"Hey honey, nothing much, I'm just tired, strategy is sucking the life out of me, I've been looking at this map for hours and still can't decide a course of action."

This seemed to light him up "ah, what fowl beast is map, I've had my fair fair share of battles with such enemies but now they have crossed the line, they dared to harm the one I love most! They shall face my wrath!" He said shielding me from the desk and closing the maps, and tomes, and when he saw he couldn't close the pile of paperwork he changed strategy

My adorkable husband picked me up from my chair without so much as a warning "fret not fair maiden for I shall carry you to safety" "Odin! I'm still working! What are you doing?" He looked at me, with the same awkward eyes he had whenever the situation was serious and he was forced to 'drop the act' and said "y/n, I've seen you grow more stressed these days and I just wanted to rest with you"

He might not exactly know why but he could read how I felt like an open book...

"You're right, there is something stressing me out, but it's not just work..." I said, trying to approach the topic as delicately as I could "then what beast is to blame for your distress my dear?" "It's stress, we have completely different schedules, I barely see you, the chaos, the comments, the war and... and..." I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself "every is changing too quickly, and I'm afraid this is gonna change us" everything was silent for a second, as if he couldn't believe what I just said

"Love of my life and light of my eyes, everything has already changed, and it has changed a long time ago" he said but before I could let lose the little voice in my head screaming 'this isn't helping' he continued with
"it changed the moment I met you, on that snowy battle up north, for how dark it might be my heart has been yours ever since, and it still lies with you, and nothing shall ever change that, let the sky fall, let the earth crumble, let the other world cruelly reclaim me, my heart is yours, and with you it will stay, just because the world changes doesn't mean we're forced to. Our path is our own even against the world."

He kissed the back of my hand
"I love you, and there is no storm in the skies strong enough to can shake the pure adoration I feel"

I'm not ashamed to admit I shed a few tears, this man...
"Odin.. I... I love you too..."

"Has the fiend of doubt been slain my love, shall I unleash the deadliest spell I could design, something that would make any other magic scramble" I looked up at him, tilting my head in confusion "secret spell?" I asked, and I kid you not he pulled out the piece of paper he always hid in his pocket whenever I tried to look at it.

"I've certainly not hidden that posterity would remember us... poems ballads would be written in our honour, well, I might have taken a step forward..."

He was writing a sonnet, and the title was my name... lines were scribbled over one another, it was clear he had been working on it for long "I was waiting until my magnum opus was completed but I couldn't stand the thought of you feeling unloved"
