Noah POV.

"Do you feel better?" My husband asked.

"Yes!" I answered my husband.

"Then let's go back..."

"Uhm... I wanna ask you a favor, you can reject it, of course, I won't force you to do something you don't like..." I said nervously.

"... If I can, yes."

"U-Um... Er... C-Can we hold hands?!" Aaaah! I blurted it out!!

"Pfft... Of course, we can, you don't need to ask me something like that..." Theo trailed off then laced his fingers through mine. "In fact, you can do it anytime, everywhere." While still holding my hand he kissed the back of it. Oh no, I really love this man! My heart is going crazy!

We walked side-by-side while holding hands, I never felt happier and more confident in my life. "I should apologize to princess Hina and May for suddenly leaving."

"Speaking of Hina, you don't need to worry about her or me catching feelings for one another." Theodore said.

"How could she not fall for you, Theo? You're strong, brave, kind, and patient! There is no way she wouldn't fall for you!" I for one am privileged to be your husband!

"Hina and I are just the best friends, I am married to you, and she... Well, I can't tell you the reason for her disinterest in me since it's not my place."

"O-Okay, I will try to trust Theo."

"Hiyooo prince Noah and my Theo!" Hina shouted.

"... Why do you keep calling him "my Theo"? He is mine..." I muttered under my breath, but Hina seemed to catch on to it.

"Ohohoho~ Is someone jealous, your royal highness?" I blushed furiously at Hina's taunt. She totally heard! I forgot that she is half-dog! "Rest assured, in my country we address our dear friends with 'my'!"

"Hm? Is this what got you all upset Noah? Her calling me my Theo?" Theodore asked.

"W-Well, in my country we all address people with 'my' when two or more people are in an intimate relationship...!" I argued.

"Honestly I don't understand what's so special about it that only couples in love can use it." Hina said. Is this what they call culture shock? "Also! Also, my Theo is not my type."

"T-Type?! W-What is your type?!"

"A woman! I only fancy women." Oh! Hina is a lesbian... HINA IS A LESBIAN!! Oh my God, so that's why Theo told me to not worry about it! "Eh? My Theo, did you not tell him I only like women?"

"You know it's not my place to say it, I can't out you without your permission." Theodore stated which made Hina smile softly.

"Aww... Aren't you a cutie?"

"Well now that all the misunderstandings are out of the way, let's eat something! I'm craving meat!" 

"You always think with your stomach, you glutton doggo!" May said.

"Ehe~!" Hina said.

"You always say that! What does that mean?!" Hina smiled without answering May's question.

??? POV.

Somewhere far away...

"Master, we found the last item we need for the ceremony."

"Good, all left now is to awaken the heir of darkness." ??? said.

"After their wake, how do we who's the heir?"

"Once we're done with the ceremony we'll commence to find them."

"But how do we find them?" ??? smiled sinisterly without commenting. My master shall be resurrected and once I get them, we shall defeat the child of the moon before they awaken their power.

Theodore POV.

After a hot steamy night, Noah laid his head on my chest and I cuddled him close, we were both naked as we rested. "Theo... How's it that you're so good at doing it? I mean I have never been with anyone before, but I'm not in any pain and it feels really good when you hit my deepest part." 

"I'm glad to hear that... Believe it or not, but you are the first person I ever did it with." I said as I stroked his soft hair. 

"What?" Noah got up then our eyes met. "I'm your first?! What a waste!"

"What do you mean it's waste?"

"I-I mean, too bad your first time was with someone like me..."

"Oh yeah, I say I'm pretty lucky you're my first time because I don't ever wanna do it with anyone other than you!" Noah's cheeks turned into a pretty shade of pink. "You're so beautiful and sexy Noah, I..." I love you. I wanted to say those three simple words, but I can't convey them yet.

"You...?"

"I am the happiest man to have married you."

"... I'm also happy that you are my husband Theo." Aaaah! My heart! This man doesn't know what's he doing to my heart! I pulled him close then crushed him under me. "Th-Theo...!" I love you so much, Noah!

The next day Hina, Noah, and I decided to go out to the time square, fortunately, today is sunny and the shops were open. We stopped by a coffee shop, I ordered black coffee, Noah green tea, and Hina a donut. "I'm surprised you have coffee shops here." Hina said.

"They are fairly new, they were introduced by Sihr country." Noah commented.

"Oh that country, it's a very advanced one, not to mention their society doesn't discriminate against demi-human, also their women are incredibly sexy."

"Stop Hina, your gay is showing." I said jokingly.

"Look who's talking, you were staring at Noah non-stop." Noah choked on his tea, he tried to cover his face by drinking his tea, but I can see his ears turn red. Aww... He's so adorable. "See? your gay is showing."

"Noah and I are married, I can stare at him all I want."

"Pfft... Sucker."

"U-Um... To be honest, I don't like the discrimination that is happening to demi-humans, my big brother James is working on it, though ever since he's started working on the situation I haven't seen him much, sometimes he'd even go on business trips." Noah said.

"I hope he does something about it, maybe if I see some improvement we could forge an alliance between Evermoon and Eiko, my land." Hina said.

"I hope we could forge an alliance based on friendliness instead of just military support. I know the war took a toll on your land and mine, we were all expecting Whitenight to try to invade us, but we didn't expect it would happen so soon."

"We weren't gonna join your war, to be honest, we don't care who started it or how it would end."

"Then why did you decide to help us?"

"For any reason a country sends aid, personal benefits, and I'm glad we helped, imagine if this land turned into ashes and I didn't befriend my Theo!" 

"Speaking of the war, why did you participate in the war Hina? Aren't you a princess?"

"It's true I'm the princess of Eiko, but because I am one, it is more the reason to join the frontlines."

"Hina is incredibly strong, she carried me on her back when I got injured." I said.

"Amazing! You're so cool Hina!" Noah said. Hina had a smug smile as she show-off her muscles to Noah.

"Humph! I have my own too, look Noah." I said as I show off mine too.

"You guys are so amazing, maybe I should start working out to build some stamina." Noah said. I slipped my arms around Noah's waist and then kissed his cheek.

"I don't mind if you stay the way you are, but if you want to work out we can jog together early in the morning."

"O-Okay... I-It would be n-nice to spend more time together."

"Oh speaking of time, I was wondering why is it that you never mentioned me to Noah before, did you never write about me?" Hina said.

"I did write about you in some of my letters..." I didn't want to bring up that topic as it upsets Noah.

"Then why is it that Noah doesn't know about me?"

"My letters never reached him, they probably got lost or something."

"Oh! That makes sense! I thought something like that happened, I mean I heard rumors that Noah is a snobbish prince that is cold to anyone that approaches him, of course, I didn't believe the rumors, I only believe what I see in my own eyes." 

"I wish I got those letters, I was waiting for them every day..." Noah said in a barely audible voice, I stroked Noah's cheek as though to reassure him that it was fine.

"Honestly, just because you used to be a low-ranked knight doesn't mean they should have disposed of your letters." Hina said.

"You think they disposed of it?!" I asked in shock.

"I mean look at you, in their eyes, you're just a lowly knight that doesn't deserve a prince for a husband." I mean she isn't wrong, sometimes I forget that Noah is a prince. As though sensing my melancholy, Noah placed his hand over mine.

"T-To be honest I was terrified wh-when I was told I would be wed at a young age, I thought the person who proposed was an old man, but I-I am glad it's you, Theo, I don't regret accepting this marriage." Aaah! My heart! My heart! It's beating too fast, oof I can't with this man!

"Noah...!" I hugged him tightly.

"Stop making me jealous, I also want a pretty wife!!" Hina complained.

"Hurry up and ask Kokomi out before someone take her away." Hina's face flushed red then she covered her face but her wagging tail betrayed her, how cute.

"I-I hope things get well for you." Noah said. Aww... My Noah is the sweetest.

Little did I know, that the upcoming days would be rocky...
