btw im sorry if i keep switching between Ilya and Julian.

this ' stands for whispering

Y/n pov:

Ilya and I are stopping by the market to pick up some items for Portia. She welcomed him and I to stay for a while. We figured the least we could do is run this quick errand for her.

"Y/N!" Ilya yelled. Suddenly he  picked me up bridal style moving me over from where i stood. A wagon, no more than 3 feet in front of, me had tipped and almost hit me. I look up to see a wide eyed Julian. He looked down at me and his cheeks colored with rose. "I-i..uh...My apologies dear." He spoke gently letting me down onto my feet.

We continued on through the market in silence. I noticed Ilya kept glancing over at me, but it'd only last a split second.

The sky was slowing changing to a gradient of yellow, orange, and pink. "Beautiful sky, isn't it Ilya." I questioned. He looked up at the sky and then over to me. "Y-yea...really is." 'However not as beautiful as you my dear.' "huh?" I asked. "U-uh...Hey y/n look!" He shouted pointing to a dove flying in the sky. "Oh! That's quite magnificent." I grinned.

Finally we made it home to Portia's cottage, thankfully before dark. Ilya and I walked inside to notice a note left on her table. It read
"I won't be home tonight. Nadia asked me to stay with her till dawn. I apologize Ilya and y/n. However, I already prepared a meal for you two in case you are hungry."
Ilya looked down at me and raised his eyebrow. "All alone till dawn huh?" He chuckled. "I..um...y-yea." I could feel my face getting hot.

Ilya walked over with two hot bowls of stew. "Here you go my love." "T-thank you." We hadn't much to talk about at first, but Ilya got the idea to tell me about some past adventures he had. I'll admit, I found him quite charming. I mean, he had a wonderful dark appearance, his voice was gravely yet kind and warm, he was always so kind to me. I caught myself gazing into his warm eyes. I jumped a slight bit realizing I had zoned out. Ilya gave me a confused look. "Are you okay, love?" he asked. "Uh...yea, I apologize. Im quite exhausted and I zoned out." "Dear, there's no need to listen to my banter if you're tired." I nodded my head. "Goodnight Ilya." I said.

I went down the hall to where Portia slept. She wasn't here so it was a bit odd. I didn't like how alone I felt. "I-Ilya! Can you come here p-please?" I shouted. In a matter of seconds I heard his boots tapping against the wood floor. "Yes, y/n? Are you okay?" He asked. "I-i...I am. It's just, Im kind of used to Portia being here and I dont like how alone I feel so um...w-would you mind s-sleeping with me t-tonight?" "His cheeks were dusted with pink when I asked the question. "O-of course" He smiled.

He sat down at the edge of the bed and began removing his boots. He began to take off his shirt. I couldn't help but stare. "I uh...sorry dear this is how i often sleep." "No, uh...its...its ok." I could feel myself blush more and more. He lifted the quilt and noticed I had only had an old thin cotton top on and panties. "Oh, uh..I apologize love, I didn't expect to see you in this kind of attire." He mumbled. I had entirely forgotten that it was all i had on. "My goodness, I hadn't even thought about that...would you like me to change?" "N-no dear if you're c-comfortable like this I-i don't mind." Ilya stuttered. He got fully under the covers and laid down. I shut my eyes and soon found Ilya sliding closer to me. A bit later I felt him pull me closer to his warm chest. He held my tight. I had no problem drifting off to sleep. 'Sleep well my love.'

So um, yea this is the first part! I hope it wasn't too horrid lol. If you enjoyed it please give it a star thingy lmao. Bai!
