Sinbad [3/3]

"I can't." 

"What?" You narrowed your eyes, "get out of here, Sinbad, I don't want to see your face for another second." 

"But we're not finished talking." 

"We have nothing to talk abo-"

"I know you don't want to leave me, either. Somewhere in your mind, you don't want to leave me." 

Sinbad blinked when he saw the little teardrop fall onto the bed from the corner of your eyes. "Darling. I-I'm sorry-"

"Of course I don't want to leave you! But what choice do I have?" You bawled, hitting the bed with your palm. "Of course I don't want to leave the man I've friends with since three years!" 

"...and partners for a year."

You glared at him. "Yes, and on our anniversary! This is all your fault, you stupid playboy king!" He sat on the bed, gazing softly, "I know, but what can I do to fix it?" 

"I don't know! I hate you, I hate you the most." You folded yourself in half and cried into the bed. 

"I promise we didn't do anything-"

You whipped your head up. "Yeah, but you kissed her." Sinbad tried again, "she doesn't mean anything to me. She's just some other girl- I don't even know her name!" 

"So? You betrayed my trust, something precious like that, to mess around with another young girl!" 

"There's no one I want in this world except for you." 

"Yeah, well then you should've thought of that before you kissed her." 

"Give me another chance- you're going to divorce me after one girl? Don't do this, think about the future." 

You huffed, "you're stealing phrases from me." 

A small smile sneaked onto his lips. "Only because I've been with you so long. Can you really picture me with another woman as a queen and tell me you'd be fine with that?"

"...of course not." 

"One chance, that's all I need. Half a chance? I'll do anything for you. What do you desire from me?" 

"Sin."

He froze at the tenderness in your voice; how it sounded so small and weak and afraid. "Yes, darling?" 

"All I ever needed was your love and faithfulness." 

"Absolutely, you will have that." Your king promised, his fingertips resting against yours. "You will have that and everything else from me." 

"I don't need those things, Sinbad, I don't need those other things from you. I'm not asking for much, I was never asking for that much." 

He nodded, "of course, yes, I understand." 

"How will you make up trust, Sin? You, yourself should know trust is the foundation between two people." 

"I'll be the perfect husband," he promised, "the best of the best. All the other women are all squids from now on." 

"Squids?" You finally cracked a smile. 

"Yes- I'll make you stay with me for the rest of your life and you won't ever forget this choice that you made." 

"For the rest of my life? That's a long time."

"It is a long time, but that's what how much I want to be with you. In this world, the next, and all the worlds after that." 

"You should be glad you're such a sweet talker," you grumbled and folded your arm across your chest. "That may be what you say, but our first anniversary will be remembered as a terrible memory." 

"You can say that easily, dear heart, but for me: it will be the day I saved our relationship from falling apart." He smiled. 

"I hate you." You shook your head, hiding a little smile. 

"Yeah, I know." Sinbad kissed the top of your head. "But watch me, I'll make you fall in love with me all over again," he smirked, "just like how you fell for me that day, three years ago." 

"I'll never forget this day. If you ever, ever do this again, I'll slit your throat, okay?"

"God, you're so hot."
