(Y/n) 's p.o.v
June 2nd, 2020. Tuesday.
"Don't tell me you're planning on going as well." I cross my arms at Dark who just finished packing his suitcase. He turns to me and the kids float around me.
"My Love-"
"Ai no, don't 'My Love' me. I'm not letting you go too. Anti hasn't given me any sign that he's okay and you plan on going as well?! Hell no." The kids stop floating and Dark sighs.
He pulls me on his lap and lifts my shirt and traces the pattern of our family crest that was imprinted on our backs the day we got married. I look in Dark's thoughts and see he's replaying a conversation with Anti.
'Don't let her come, it will break her heart to find out that her mother's kingdom has been taken over and the citizens are under new loyalty.'
'Anti, she's really scared and angry, you know she's going to take matters into her own hands soon. You were supposed to contact her first, not me. She's going to lose it when she finds out we talked and I didn't say anything about it.'
'Don't worry, I'll handle it once I get out of this shit hole. Just be careful once you're summoned, you're a favorite and let's hope (Y/n) doesn't find out about the plans you have.'
'What will happen?'
'I have to go, I'll try to speak to you later. Tell her not to come and that I love her. '
I shoot up from Dark's lap and he looks up at me.
"You-you talked to Anti and you didn't even tell me..?" I whisper and his eyes widen.
"I couldn't."
"And why not?"
"Because I knew you would get mad."
"No! I wouldn't get mad over the fact that Anti is safe enough to speak to you in the first place. What I am mad about, is the fact that you decided to hide this from me! You know how important he is to me!"
"Oh and what about me? Huh? You never talk about how worried you are for me but go on and on about Anti." He stands up and I stare at him.
"You know damn well that isn't true."
"Oh, do I?"
"Yes, because wherever you go, I'm always right next to you with Chic in case something happens to you. I drag you along wherever I go so I know that you're safe. I always make someone tell me every 10 minutes how you are when I can't be with you. Ever since this whole thing has been going on, you've been more hostile and just don't focus anymore." At this point I'm floating over him in his face.
"I try my hardest to keep you both as safe as possible without smothering you two. If I had the chance to bubble and chain you 4 to me, I would. But I respect your space enough to keep you happy but now that Anti has been taken away and I can't watch his every move and I don't know his state of health I know I failed," I'm full on crying by this point and his eyes show guilt.
"I failed my only job that I take seriously with my entire life. I failed to protect. I failed to keep him safe. You don't know how hard I try with my entire being to keep my family safe. And it hurts, knowing my family who aren't blood related have been taken from me. Imagine how it feels knowing one of my husbands have been taken away. Take the chance to think how it will feel when you leave and I failed to save you as well." I stare at him and he looks away from me. I huff and float to the bed and grab Anti's pillow, hugging it.
"Why do you try so hard to protect us..?" He whispers and I look at him. I look away and hug the pillow closer.
"I've had people die in my hands because I never knew how to protect them. My aunt from my other family, people came in and I held a knife in her defense, they took the knife and stabbed her in front of me. My grandfather, they took him away from me at the park and I never saw him again. Antonio, fake murdered in front of me..."
The bed dips next to me and I look up, he's looking at me with worried eyes.
"Why didn't you ever tell us anything about that..?"
"I don't like talking about it. Half of my family and friends have been murdered because of me. All because I was too scared and too weak. But now it's practically my job to protect and kill. I saw my family here..." I smile slightly and he holds me close.
"They're happy that no one can hurt me, and even more happy that I rule over something so serious. They live in the light kingdom. Around the Sun kingdom." He pets my hair and I sigh.
"I just don't want you hurt again..." I face him and he holds my cheek.
"My Love, I understand. I really do, but even you know that if you were summoned, you would go to protect me and Anti, wouldn't you?" He looks me directly in the eyes and I blush and look away.
"You know I can't look at you in the eye for long babe..." I whisper and I feel his chest shake slightly from chuckling.
"I know, that's why I did it." He whispers in my ear and I push his face away.
He laughs slightly and stares at me.
"You haven't changed that much since we first started dating. Still so shy with me." He pulls me onto him as he lays down. I sit on his stomach and he rubs my thighs.
"You're so beautiful, you know that?" He slides his hand up to my face and holds my cheek. I snuggle into his hand and the kids climb onto the bed.
"No, I didn't know that. But thanks anyway." I lay on him and he kisses my head. He slides his hand inside my shirt and traces the family crest on my upper back.
"It looks like a tattoo, you look sexy with it. Even if we all have the same one." He says in my hair and I look at him.
"I'm surprised we all have it in the same placement. My old crest is still here." I say as I lift my wrist. He looks at it and kisses it.
"Ours is better."
