I stood at the alter, with a man I know nothing about. All I know is his name is Vinsmoke Ichiji, first son of Vinsmoke Judge, ruler of Germa 66. He stood with his white cloak, '1' imprinted on his left arm, and was wearing a white frilled shirt with a red cravat. Wearing his signature shades and his red hair styled in his usual fashion. I looked down, heat rising to my face. Germa came to Elbaf, hearing of the so-called most intelligent giant, who was actually human size, a mutation in my genes, causing me to be the same size as regular humans, but being able to retain the same physical capabilities of usual Giants. A wedding based solely on power. We were wedded and as the cheers in the hall filled my ears, I turned to look at my now husband.
"You may kiss the bride" the man said. My face flushed red, matching his hair. He looked down at me, with a stoic expression planted on his face, no hint of emotion. Lost in his so called 'expressive' face, he pecked my lips quickly before turning to look at the crowd. It was finished far faster than I thought as he turned, offering his arm, taking it and waving to the kingdom. Judge seeming rather pleased while my brothers and sister in laws clapped. The crowd scared me, too many people everywhere. I felt my heartbeat quicken. My chest feeling tight. I gasped quietly for air. I clutched onto Ichiji's arm tighter, the tips of my fingers going white.
"Oi, calm down" he muttered, quiet enough only for me to hear
"I'm, afraid" I stuttered, looking up at him
"We will be home soon, just calm yourself down" he sighed slightly.

"This is our room, feel free to do whatever you want here" he said as he closed the door behind me. It was a lavish room, with enough space for a mini concert to take place. The White ceilings were high, and there was a white and red colour scheme. There was a window leading to the balcony. There was a big vanity and a walk in closet. Towards the top centre of the room was the queen sized bed, with draping white curtain and a red bed set on. The carpet was red, with white walls. I looked around, mouth agape
"Are you a Venus fly trap or something? Close your mouth" he grumbled. I looked at him, my eyes filled with life "have you always lived in a room like this??" I asked
"Yeah" he replied simply
"Wow, it's so different compared to mine" I smiled. He glanced at me before walking to the ensuite bathroom. "Help yourself to settle in, you can sleep too" he said before closing the door,
"OK, thank you" I called out before Taking out my few belongings,and placing them in my closet. I came out taking off my ivory fishtail dress. The embellished chest looked beautiful, while the pleats towards the bottom were covered in white shimmers. My short brown hair was clipped up by hair barrettes, I let them down before taking off my jewellery. I took off the dress and changed into an oversized t shirt and leggings. I placed the dress in a hanger, with a protected slip on it. I placed it in my closet as well as the shiny high heels I had on. I glanced around the room, interest filling my eyes as I begun walking around. I opened the other closet to find his own clothes, "woooahhhh" I whispered noticing multiple versions of the same clothes, but a wide variety, he filled out the majority of his walk in closet, that was , of course, larger than mine. I closed it before noticing the bookshelf he had.

Eyes full of excitement I went over, skimming through the books before stopping at one, "emotions for the clueless" I giggled at the title as I kept going "being the best husband" I smiled. Plenty of books on destruction and chaos, I sighed, after finding nothing physics related. I put my own flurry of books on the vanity, unsure of whether he would allow me to use his bookshelf. 'Ugh, I need to shower too! Hurry upppppp' I thought. I glanced at the balcony before heading over, noticing  a small white table and 2 white chairs. I tilted my head, 'he was living in this room alone before, wonder why he needed the other one' I thought as I inspected both the chairs legs. Noticing one was slightly more damaged than the other, despite being well taken care of, this others ones new. "For me?" I blushed looking over the balcony. I rested my forearms against the railing. Observing the movement of the castle at this time of night was almost impossible, so instead I focused on the sky. Much to my dismay, clouds took place in shrouding my sight. I sighed as I lay down on the ground staring up at the clouds, that were equally interesting. My mind retelling me stories my mother and father had spoke on. I breathed in deeply, noticing footsteps I got up.

"Were you waiting for me?" He asked, as he dried his hair with a towel
"Yeah, I had t-to s-sho-shower too" I stuttered averting my eyes
"Well, it's all yours, you can use whatever you like in there" he said strands of red hair falling to the nape of his neck. "Thank you" I whispered. Standing. I walked towards the bathroom before closing and about to lock it, but noticing there was none. "Eh...where, did i ,,,, uhhhh" I whispered. Silently freaking out. I stood and sighed, noticing there were no lock marks before, so there was no lock to begin with. Makes sense if it was just him in this room. The bathroom was massive, with a bathtub the size of a mini swimming pool, and jacuzzi. The shower was in the corner. I showered quickly washing my hair and body. "Shit I forgot moisturiser, and clothes. I'm such an idiot, towel too" I muttered. My face went red, "either I ask him to get it for me, I walk out like this to grab it myself, or I sneak out" I muttered. I looked inside the numerous cupboards, finding some clean towels. I opened the door to see him reading, one leg crossed over the other, facing the other direction. A sigh of relief as I sneaked, I grabbed my moisturiser from the vanity, and silently stalked my way to the closet, I grabbed my baby pink and black ribbon bra and matching underwear. I took out another oversized t shirt and some loose pyjama pants. I stealthily made my way back before doing a victory dance in the bathroom. I quickly moisturised and dressed, before heading out, drying my hair like a madman. I flicked my hair up and parted on the side. "Where should I l-leave the towel" I stuttered. He looked up from his book before motioning to the side, I followed the gaze to see his own, lying on the radiator. I gently placed it next to his. I noticed him hide the book he was reading before sighing pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Are you ok?" I asked, worry laced in my voice.
"I'm fine, just need to sleep" he muttered getting up and turning off the lights.
"If you want, I can massage your head for you, there's a technique passed down in my family for it" I said. Silence... 'Is that yes? No?' I thought
"Go on, I'll try it" he muttered.
"Sure thing" I smiled, as I blindly made my way towards his vague vicinity, "sorry, could you say something so I can find you, or maybe a lamp" I stuttered. I felt my foot hit the bottom of the bed, I stepped on my toe, as I heard him move, turning on the lamp. His face inches from mine, I felt heat building in my face again. I sat behind him on the bed, I moved him down, so his head was in my lap, and I begun my treatment. "Our family is well known for massages, but we are best at removing migraine and head pain" I whispered. He grunted in response. It was silent for a while, my fingers gently easing away the pain, as I focused hard on pressure points and stress relief. After half an hour I sigh, "I'm done" I whispered, he was silent. I peered into his face, peaking behind his glasses, his eyes were closed, breathing softly. 'Sleeping huh, yeah that's a side effect too' I grinned as I gently moved him next to me and turned the light off. I took off his glasses and placed them on the bedside table near him. I wanted to see his eyes, but didn't want to wake him. 'Maybe this won't be so bad' I thought before drifting off.
