The doorbell rang and I nervously opened the door, my stomach clenching in anticipation. Ian and a nervous Winter were holding hands.
Surprisingly, I didn't feel hurt seeing them like that.
2 months of getting over him sure did work. Probably because of silly Arthur.
"Hi, Please come inside" I said and Winter slowly looked at me, smiling hesitantly
"No need to be nervous Winter, Arthur will like you" I said while Ian pulled Winter inside. When Ian released Winter's hands, he walked towards me and I stiffened when he hugged me, his face buried on my neck
"Thank you so much, William! You did a lot for my family and I'm thankful to you. You're really sweet and kind, you're like an angel who has always helped me. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you so, thank you!! I'm sorry I couldn't fall in love with you" He rambled and I smiled, hugging him back.
I patted his head and felt a strange feeling, not that of love but still, I was kind of attached to him. Probably because I know almost everything about him, he felt familiar.
I felt the need to protect.... Maybe in a brotherly way
"It's alright Winter, It was my pleasure to meet you. I like to see you happy and I indirectly made Arthur happy since Lucifer over here is happy with you so, there's no need to thank me. Also, I'm fine with how my life turned out to be. no need to feel guilty" I said, ruffling his hair and he closed his eyes, looking annoyed
"I spent 10 minutes to comb this thing, you know?" He grumbled, trying to restyle it and I laughed
"You're like a version of me! Since those two are cousins, how about we be brothers?" I asked and he grinned
"Sure, we can!" He replied and Ian looked amused.
A blank looking Arthur entered the room and Winter was back to his shy self.
I rolled my eyes and walled towards Arthur, poking his cheeks
"Awe come on Arthur, don't be like that! Smile for me, please?" I asked, giving him my best puppy eyes and he sighed
"There goes my plan to threaten him in case he breaks Lucifer's heart" He grumbled and I slapped his chest
"Don't be mean to him, Arthur" I exclaimed and he looked at me with a raised eyebrow
"Why are you concerned about him?" He asked teasingly but I didn't miss the Jealousy in his voice
"Because Winter and I decided we were gonna be brothers, so, I don't wanna see someone threaten him!!!" I replied and Arthur chuckled, leaning down to peck my cheeks
Arthur acted decent with Winter and the dinner went well with Arthur and Winter talking like normal people
As for Arthur and Ian..... They fought a lot for absolute no reason.
After dinner, we talked for some more and they went home while Arthur helped me clean.
Before I knew it, two weeks in my marriage life went by. Arthur and I were really busy merging our gangs. We were so tired but we managed to do so within two weeks.
"I'm tired, it's been a long long week! I need you right now" Arthur complained.
I turned around as we were in bed and threw one of my legs around his waist before hugging him, my hand on his back. I then proceeded to push his face on my shoulder and started running my fingers through his back. Our chest was pressed together and Arthur tried to snuggle further into my neck.
"I know Arthur, It's alright! Come on, sleep now, I got you" I whispered.
All I could hear was Arthur's peaceful breathing making me smile
"Big baby" I mumbled, playing with his hair.
I can't deny it though, I love this!! I love cuddling with him. It makes me feel safe and I get a warm feeling in my chest. What are you doing to me, you stupid idiot? I thought with a smile before closing my eyes
Today marked two months since I've been married to Arthur and my life was kind of hectic but at the same time, it was alright with Arthur cuddling with me every night.
Since I was 19 and school shits weren't my things, I got a job as a waiter in a café. Arthur was really supportive and encouraged me to work!!
He even comes to pick me up every day.
However, he made two guards follow me and well, even though I hated it, I don't want him to worry about me.
I'm not gonna be a cocky person and pretend like that I can manage by myself.
I'm only not gonna be an arrogant selfish prideful bitch that think they can protect themselves alone- only dumb movies characters say that, and how do they end up?
Kidnapped or sold in the black market!!
Like sir, you think you're in a novel where you're the Supreme God of martial combat?
I thought before snickering at my thoughts.
I came out of the shower and walked to my wardrobe to get dressed.
I was rummaging through my clothes when Arthur wrapped his hands around my naked torso, pressing his chest against my back
"Hey beautiful, good morning" He whispered, pecking my neck and I smiled
He had finally stopped asking for permission to kiss me. As much as it was cute, I told him he was allowed to kiss me whenever he wants. Since Arthur was respectful, he didn't harass me or touch me more than necessary.
"Hey yourself, can you let me get dressed?" I asked
"I want a morning kiss" He mumbled and I sighed
"I want peace," I said and all Arthur did was nuzzle my neck. His hand went to my hand and he entwined his fingers with mine before stiffening
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He took my hand and one of his fingers rubbed my ring fingers
"Where's your ring?" He whispered softly
"I removed it," I said, thinking he'd understand that I didn't want to lose it while showering
"Please William, never remove it from your fingers. I know you didn't want to become my husband and you're not proud of this ring but for my sake, at least wear it when you go out? I am proud of this because I bought it from the money I saved from working when I was 16. I worked hard for 4 years because I always wanted to give my future husband a ring that came from my money and not my dad's gang" He whispered and I frowned.
I removed his hand from my chest and turned around to cup his cheeks, my towel falling on the ground but meh, I had a boxer on so whatever
"Arthur, you're the sweetest, stupidest idiot someone could ever ask for," I cooed before laughing. I leaned towards him and gently pecked his nose.
"Get this in your head, I will always wear this ring because I am proud of my marriage, Arthur! Whether it was a deal or not, I respect this bond between us and I accept this marriage. Why do you think I'm willing to fall in love with you? Because you're making it possible. I adore your personality so much!! Can I tell you something secret? I like you Arthur" I said with a smile and Arthur's breath hitched.
"And all it took was 4 months. When you hold me like that, I love it, I feel safe and warm around you. So yeah, I like you, Arthur, I really do. I removed the ring because it's so precious to me and I'd hate to lose it in the shower" I said and Arthur now had a big grin on his face
"You like me?" He asked, not being able to stop smiling and I nodded.
He looked just like an excited kid. Sometimes, I wonder whether if he's really 25 because his look doesn't match his personality. He looks like those typical daddy who likes control but instead, he's the kid.
"I do. I realised it when I saw you sleep this morning. I don't know how to explain it but.. I kind of figured out that I like you. I just wish I knew what love was" I said with a sigh
Arthur gently pressed his lips against mine and chuckled, shaking his head
"You'll figure it out one day, beautiful"
It was 9.00 o'clock and I was watching a YouTube video. It was about puppies and I cooed loudly, my poor heart beating excitedly when the little pup shook his bum before jumping on the table but he missed it!!!
So cute!!
"Arthur!" I called loudly and minutes later, the man leisurely walked here
"Yeah, darling?" He said
"I want a puppy," I said, blinking sweetly at him but he just looked at me blankly
"No," He said flatly and I groaned
"Arthur please, I want a puppy" I huffed and he snorted
"And I want a morning kiss but we can't always get what we want," He said and I cocked my head slightly
"What if you let me get a puppy and in exchange, we make out 1 minute every night?" I asked and Arthur looked at me as if contemplating the idea
"So, what breed do you want?"
"I don't want to pay for a stupid overprice breed so, let's just adopt a stray dog," I said as we were heading to a dog shelter.
"Like those?" He said, pointing outside where three pups were whining inside a box as a man sat on a chair.
"Stop the fucking car," I ordered and Arthur did.
I immediately opened the door and walked towards the man. I peeked inside the box to see three puppies whimper, whine, trying to cuddle with each other.
"Are you going to take one of them? They're all males" The man asked softly
I crouched down and slowly went to touch them. One of them nuzzled my hand and I chuckled, playing with the little guy
"Why are you giving them away?" I asked, my attention focused on the three angels who were all trying to touch my hands.
"The mum died giving birth to those three cuties. Unfortunately, my financial condition isn't that great to take care of three pups so, my wife and I are hoping that someone would adopt them. We can't just throw them away, can we? If we don't find anyone to take care of them, we'll have to take care of them ourselves but they won't get toys or good food" He said with a sad smile and I frowned, staring at those puppies eyes screaming
Take us, take us, take us!!!
No, i don't think Arthur will allow 3 pups.... One was enough-
Eh....
Guess who has three pups now?
"Name one them, Arthur," I said as the three pups slept soundly in a huge blanket that I gave, making Arthur grumble.
He was still moody.
"I agreed for one mutt, not three" He grumbled and I slapped his chest hard making him wince
"Don't call my babies mutts!" I scowled, before going back to pet my babies.
They were so tiny! One was white with black dots on his body. His mouth was pink and his tiny nose was black with a little pink heart shaped in the middle.The other was black with white patches and the third was completely brown
"Awe I'll name the black one shadow, the white one snow and the other one... Ehh" I trailed thinking of a name
"How about, Mutt?" Arthur suggested
"Arthur, get out of my house!" I yelled and he sighed
"How about mud then? He's the only one who has mud on his paw and it's the closest to mutt" He said and I blinked
"Alright... If you say so" I said because at least, he participated in naming them.
I prepared milk for the puppies and pour it in one of Arthur's expensive bowl but whatever, he's rich so, he'll live!
The man told me the pups were around 2 months and I made Arthur help him financially because he has a farm with many animals and we didn't want him to send them away.
He refused but we told him that we were buying all the animals, paying him to take care of them. After hesitating, he agreed.
When I went to the living room, I saw an annoyed Arthur sitting on the ground with one of the pups sleeping on his lap
"Stupid mutt, I can't move because of you! You're too cute to wake up but, William's cuter than you when he sleeps" He said with a chuckle
"You're so tiny! I'm afraid to hurt you or I'm scared that when you die, I won't be able to take it. That's why I refused to get you in the first place. You're so fragile" He mumbled, petting the puppy in his lap.
The puppy turned on his back and Arthur rubbed his belly
"My sweet little mud, look at that pink belly" Arthur cooed, playing with mud's ear.
That scene broke my heart but at the same, all I could do was watch in awe as Arthur played with the puppy, a smile on his face. I cleared my throat and Arthur stiffened. He quickly placed the pup on the ground and got up, patting his clothes.
"That mutt just climbed on me like a freaking mountain! I'm gonna shower because it dirtied my clothes" He grumbled before walking away. The pup tried to follow Arthur, whining when he went too quick
"Awe my baby, it's okay! come on, I brought you your food which is milk but, whatever"
I spent the rest of the day playing with the puppies and even watched them sleep like a creep. I even took their pictures and saved it as my home screen. I then walked to our room to see Arthur sleeping. I sighed and climbed up the bed, leaning against the bed post before plugging on my earphones
"Please, don't tell me you're going to watch kitten videos now" Arthur grumbled sleepily and I chuckled
"No Arthur, I won't" I said and he sighed in relief. He sat up only to lean close to me before placing his head on my lap. He snaked his hand around my leg before burying his face dangerously close to my crotch.
I sighed and ended up using his head to support my phone while I softly played with his hair. He didn't seem to mind it so, it's fine.
"Arthur, can we go to the mall to buy toys tomorrow?" I said randomly, remembering that we have to buy things for the puppies.
"Depends on what toys you want. I didn't know you were into bdsm" He mumbled sleepily and I let out a cough, a blush rushing to my cheeks
"I was talking about toys for the puppy to play with, Arthur" I corrected quickly
"Puppy toys? You're into puppy play?" He said in confusion, his voice deeper than usual. He was probably half conscious. I leaned towards my lap to peek at him, only to see his eyes closed and his eyebrow furrowed
"No Arthur, We have three kids remember? The puppies?" I said
"When did I give birth to puppies?" He mumbled, even more confused and I bit my lips to prevent myself from laughing
"Arthur, we brought 3 pups home. Tomorrow, we're going shopping to buy them stuffs" I said again and he was silent for a while, surely trying to process what I was saying
"So, I didn't give birth to puppies?" He asked innocently and I chuckled
"No Arthur, you didn't" I said.
He yawned and stretched his body only to hug my leg tighter, snuggling on my leg
"I'm an alpha, not an omega" He grumbled and I bit my lips hard to stiffle my laughter
"And what I am, Arthur?" I teased
"My pretty Luna" He said softly with a smile and after a while I heard soft snores coming from him.
I covered my face with my hands and laughed loudly. Sleepy Arthur was fun to talk to!!
I thought before scrunching my nose in disgust
"Ah fuck, No farting Arthur!"
