Legends of Irene (Garroth x Reader) | Aphmau Fanfiction| UNDER IMMENSE EDITING

A Peaceful Stroll

A/n: Guys, we need some calm music here. Play the song above for Aphmau feels! (Did you know that the soundtrack is actually from a game I used to play called Final Fantasy Eleven?)

Your Point of View:

"You know, sometimes I feel like our lives are planned," Ruby said. "Sometimes I feel like everything happened in favour of this moment. Kat and I coming here with you guys, then meeting the previous lord of our village. It all seems... planned out." I nodded. Although, I knew it was a false speculation. At least from my knowledge.

The air was beginning to get colder. As soon as I started shivering, Garroth wrapped his arms around me. I smiled to myself. Garroth's love will be the death of me.

"You guys are so cute together," Ruby said out of the blue. I blinked before processing the comment.

"T-thanks, I guess." Garroth held me closer to him.

"I know, we are cute, huh?" he drawled. I felt cheeks heat up. This was embarrassing.

"So, are you two planning on having children?" Ruby asked. The colour that was once on my face drained. It was Garroth's turn to blush.

"W-well, when (Y/n) and I are both ready, t-then we'll maybe-"

Garroth was cut off by Ruby's laugh. She'd been doing so a lot lately. Ruby clutched her stomach as we walked.

"Oh my gosh! Couples are the best people to make fun of! This is pure entertainment!" Ruby joked. I rolled my eyes.

"You know Ruby, I'm waiting to find out who you like so we can make fun of the two of you," I ejaculated. Ruby shook her head.

"Sadly, you will never know," she retorted. I smirked.

"Oh, we'll see about that," I replied. The air was beginning to get even chillier. Ruby didn't seem to mind though.

"Hey Ruby? It's beginning to get late. We should probably head back to the boat," Garroth proposed. Ruby turned back to face us.

"Okay," she replied. She walked ahead of us before muttering almost inaudible words to herself.

"If you guys really want a room to yourselves that bad..." I bit my lip hard. I was trying my best to keep my retorts to myself. Garroth let out a nervous laugh. It made me practically melt even with cold atmosphere around us.

"You do know we can hear you, right?" he asked. Ruby smiled innocently.

"Hear what?" she asked. I playfully rolled my eyes. Although, some alone time with Garroth didn't seem like much of a bad idea. Once we got to the boat entrance, Ruby turned to meet my gaze.

"C-can I go and see how Katrina is doing so far?" she asked. I smiled warmly.

"Of course." Ruby smiled before taking off to see her sister. Before she could actually leave, she whispered to the both of us with a smirk plastered on her face.

"Good luck in your room! I bet Garroth has a lot in store for you!" she laughed. Garroth face palmed and I cringed. Where did she learn all of this? I knew she was only teasing, but teasing had its limits as well. I glared at my friend. If she wanted to play that game, surely she wouldn't if another player versed her.

"Ruby, come here please?" I asked anxiously. Ruby's smile dropped as she took slow steps backwards. She then turned and sprinted off somewhere on the ship. I chuckled before turning back to Garroth.

"Hey, since Katrina has taken over my quarters, do you mind if I take over yours?" I asked hopefully. Garroth laughed and held both my hands in his.

"Fine. But we have to share it," he proposed. I stuck out my tounge in fake disgust.

"Ugh, I don't want to share," I joked. Garroth shrugged.

"Guess you'll be sleeping outside then," he justified as he turned on his heels to leave for his room. I called out after him with a smile on my face.

"Wait! I was kidding! And besides, just because I said I didn't want to share, doesn't mean I don't like to share," I excused. Garroth turned around and smiled.

"Did you seriously think I was going to let you sleep outside?" he asked. I shrugged.

"I figured that you would've contemplated that decision." Garroth shook his head. He then looked in my eyes.

"Never. Even if you were serious about not wanting to share, I would've let you have the room," he explained. I looked at him dreamily.

"Aw, Garroth!" I gushed. The tiniest hint of pink hue dusted his cheeks.

"I-I'm serious! I would do anything for you," he spoke softly. I felt my cheeks grow hot and felt the slightest bit dizzy. I was flattered, and he was perfect. I smiled. It was nice knowing that he was always there to support me; no matter what.

We walked to his quarters. As soon as he opened the door, I darted for the bed. I figured that sleep was exactly what I needed. I'd just gone through a near death experience.

Although when fighting alongside Irene, it was a normal.

I guess it'd been so long. I had stopped aging all together just so I could find her. Though it was only recently that figured out something.

If I hadn't stopped aging, I would've been dead. The process of reincarnation would've taken its toll on me.

I wouldn't have met Garroth.

A pang of thankfulness touched my heart at that moment. I was suddenly glad that I had stayed 21 till now. I was finally growing normally again.

This time, with Garroth.

I felt the bed dip down beside me. I looked to my left to see Garroth staring at me with a grin on his face. I took in his facial features. I smiled.

"Hey handsome," I whispered. Garroth lightly chuckled.

"Hey beautiful," he responded. I sat up on the bed; being mindful that I still had on my combat boots.

"Are you okay? You seemed a little dazed," Garroth asked. I looked at him before leaning towards him. Garroth quickly caught my drift as we both leaned forward. Our lips connected as the gap between us was slowly closed. I draped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

Once we pulled away, I rested my head on Garroth's chest.

"Everything is just fine," I answered, going back to his previous question. Garroth pulled me closer and rested his head in the crook of my neck.

"Just fine..."

Ruby's Point of View:

I smiled lightly as I stared at the couple through the crook of the ajar opened doorway.

"They're adorable together," I whispered to myself. I looked down at the ground as a sad smile bore its way onto my face.

"I hope he and I can be like that someday," I muttered before leaving the two by themselves.

A/n: I've been working on this for a week now. My hands hurt, but I don't care...
