You sit up off of the window sill and give a soft but crooked smile to Rouxls, he gave you a sorry smile in return, and then cupped your hands in his own. His hands where soft like silk and warm like a fire. "My Queen, Y/N, I know thou has been through a lot this past week, but, strength is in thou. Don't be afraid." He told you kindly, making you feel a bit better and inspired. You nodded your head slightly before realizing you where grinning ear to ear. "Let's go." You said, and with that, you where off to find the King with Rouxls.

You told Rouxls you could handle this on your own, he agreed and left to do his duties.

You arrived at your shared bedroom door and crippled your hand in fear as anxiety coursed through your body. You shivered at every thought that ran through your mind. You ran your hands through your hair before exhaling softly and trying to control your emotions. 'I'll be fine.' You told yourself. But, you missed him dearly, the old him. You missed his goodmorning kisses, his goodnight compliments, his odd dances, his hugs, you just missed him. You missed feeling the warmth in your heart as he held you in his arms. You missed the feeling of blush spread across your cheeks by just looking at him. You missed him dearly, you needed to get him back, for you, and for the fate of the Darkener Realm.

You raised your hand up onto the door to knock on it, you curled it back for a moment with hesitation, before softly knocking on the door. You heard a few shuffles in return, besides that their was silence. "H-hello?" Your kind voice called out from behind the door. Still no response. You sighed before placing your small hand on the door knob, you suddenly got flashbacks of how he pushed your up this door, all the times he shoved you inside the room. You cringed before shaking the thought and turning the doorknob and pushing the door open. You stared into the dim room where a dark figure sat on the edge of the bed. Your eyes scanned the room for a moment, books where scattered across the floor along with papers, photos, clothes, jewelry, and other objects. You slowly walked into the room and saw the figure shiver its shoulders. You stepped closer before noticing something on the floor, shards of glass glistening in the darkness, along with an empty shattered picture frame, 'Where's the photo?' You thought to yourself.

You walked though the piles of scattered junk before you stood a good foot away from the figure, his hood covered his face; The Kings hood covered his face. He held a photo in his hands, the photo looked tattered and a bit worn. You stepped a bit closer and saw it was a picture of you on your wedding day, at the alter with The King. You adverted your gaze to him, he seemed to be crying oddly. You sighed softly before kneeling in front of him, you cupped one of his tear soaked cheeks, before brushing the tears off with your thumb gently. "I-..." His voice cracked in sadness. You could feel the tension in the air. You lifted his face up so he could look at you, before lifting his hood that shadowed his face, blue tears ran down his face and glistened in the darkness. "It's okay, I forgive you, I want to fix things." You told him in a soft and comforting tone sigh a warm smile. Before he could answer you lunged forwards and wrapped your arms around him in a tight hug. You could feel his heart race before feeling his arms hold you tightly. "I'm...s-so sorry..." He quietly sobbed into your shoulder. "Hush, it's okay." You comforted him. 'I'm too nice...' You thought to yourself.

You let go of the hug and sat next to him on the bed, you have your hands tightly interwoven with his. "Okay, so, we need to talk about what happened." He told you after wiping the few rogue tears that slid down his cheek. You swallowed hard, this is obviously a touchy subject for you. You could feel your heart pound with fear. "...w-why d-d-did.." You could barely speak, you felt your throat begin to feel dry. He gave you a confused look as he stared into your glazed over eyes. "Say it, dear." He told you calmly. "I-...w-why..." You stuttered with sadness and fear. "W-why...did you bite me so hard, sexually abuse me, then slap me?" You choked out as you felt your eyes sting with tears. "...Jealousy." He muttered in regret and embarrassment. "How s-so?" Your eyes glistened in the dim light and sparkled as you looked over at him. "Rouxls was with you, I watched him twirl you, he had his hands locked with yours, you where having innocent fun on your birthday. I felt myself get jealous, I wanted you with me not him, okay?" He said, irritation was noticeable. You softly sniffled. "What about you slapping me?" You asked, while taking your sweater sleeve and wiping a tear. "I was selfish. You told him and I was embarrassed and angry of my actions, so I took it out on you." He responded, still irritated. You clenched your hand tightly into a fist of anger. "B-but why me?! I'm your wife!" You asked him as you continued to angrily wipe your red face from tears. "You where the one who said it!" He said angrily. "How could I not?!" You said before letting go off his hand and scooting away from him. "..." You sighed softly with a sniffle before collecting your emotions. "It's okay...I'm okay. Just don't, please don't, ever do that again." You told him calmly, trying not to stir the pot again.

"Come here." He told you before patting the bed besides him. You scooted closer to him until your legs barely touched. You looked up at him with soft red eyes and your nose glowing a red from crying. You felt his hand cup your cheek before sliding his thumb over your slightly bruised cheek, you scrunched your nose for a moment. "...Y/N I can't explain to you how much I'm sorry. My heart has broken for you, for your love, for my actions. I can't believe...I can't believe I've ever let myself do that to you, you're so...lovely, gorgeous, sweet, I just can't grasp it. But when I do, it just tears me apart. I'm sorry." He said softly. His words simply melted you, his words where also manipulating, but you knew he was being honest and sincere. You smiled warmly at him, which took him by surprise. "It's okay, we can fix this. We are fixing this." You told him with a small chuckle. He smiled before tracing your jawline with his index finger. He leaned a little closer to your face, tilting your chin up towards him. "You do forgive me right?" He asked you in a soft intriguing tone. You felt his breath hit your lips. "Yes." You answered with a quiet voice. He inched closer before his lips almost touched yours. Almost. "Good." He replied, before sealing the gap. You felt your slightly chapped lips meet with his for the first time in awhile, you felt your cheeks dust with red and your ears too. He pulled away before smiling with a chuckle. "Just like you used to."

(Aye yo, the ending is gonna be in a couple chapters dudes, so sorry!)
