Brrr
Brrr
Brrr
The Sun shone through the gap in the curtains, the dust particles fluttered, appearing like particles of glitter. The Sun beam cast itself on the large lump in the middle of the king-sized bed, curled up under the duvet. The lump wriggled as a large hand, attached to a strong thick arm, emerged from the duvet and patted the space next to it as if searching for something. A deep hoarse grunt sounded in dissatisfaction as it couldn't find what it wanted. So, the hand then made its way towards the magimob that was making a racket. Grabbed it, then brought it into the duvet.
“What is it?” A low hoarse voice laced with annoyance asked the caller.
“Are you still in bed Boss?” The voice coming from the magimob asked carefully.
“What? Do I have to get up early on my rare day off?” The boss answered as he yawned. “So, why are you calling me despite knowing this?”
“Well, a big shot of the Church just showed up demanding to see you.” The caller cleared their throat and told the boss cautiously. “We said you wouldn't come back until tomorrow and that they should come back to see you then. But they won't take no for an answer and have said that they won't leave until they get to see you.”
“Urgh... alright I’ll come over” the boss sighed. “But, I ain't gonna be rushing over. So the bastard can wait a few hours. I'll leave it to you to entertain the guest.”
“Understood Boss, sorry for disturbing your time with Sister-in-law.” The caller apologized.
“Don't worry too much, your Sister-in-law is a very understanding person. It’s not your fault some big shot weirdo decided to suddenly show up.” The boss chuckled, the tenderness leaking through his voice as he mentioned the Sister-in-law gave the caller goosebumps.
“See you in a while then Boss!” I may be used to Boss sounding like that by now… but my body reacts by itself.
“Uhhm See ya later” the boss yawned again as he hung up the magimob. His arm once again emerged from the duvet as he placed the magimob back on the side.
His hand didn't go back under though, but was accompanied by another hand placed on the edge of the duvet. Using some force, the boss pushed the duvet down a fair amount revealing a head of charcoal black bed hair. The normally sharp eyes squinting as he stared at the ceiling in a daze for a bit. He blinked his crimson eyes as he slowly lifted his huge bare muscular torso to sit up. He stretched as he smacked his lips. Once again yawning. Well... Time to get up then. He got out of the duvet, also stretching his tree trunk like muscular legs.
His dozy eyes suddenly widened, the sleepiness in them disappearing as he sniffed the air. Breakfast smells divine as always. His eyes narrowed in happiness as he got up to get dressed.

Chop, chop, chop.
The rhythmic sound of a knife falling sounded from the kitchen, accompanied in harmony by the bubbling of something boiling and a clear and gentle voice humming cheerfully.
A tall, slender figure stood at the kitchen counter preparing and cooking breakfast. His golden fluffy and curly waist length hair was illuminated by the Sun shining through the window. His amber eyes were focused on the fruit on the chopping board in front of him as he used his mana to occasionally manipulate the wooden spoon in the pot to keep the porridge from sticking to the edges.
As he was doing this; a large figure, much taller than himself, muscular with a bear-like build, spread their arms wide as they encompassed the slender figure in front of them. Placing his bearded chin on their shoulder, forming a big hug from behind.
“Mornin’ Lu~” the big ‘bear’s’ deep voice whispered gently in their ear.
The slender figure paused what he was doing as he put the knife down, raised his arm as he placed his graceful hand with long fingers upon the large arms surrounding him.
“Good morning Phim." He chuckled as he answered the ‘bear’ Phim. “Why did you get up? You could've rested some more, being your day off.”
“Ugh, Luciel, I got a call from the boys. An annoyance of a guest has turned up, so I have to go to work in a few hours.” Phim sighed, the aggrieved tone in his voice apparent. “Sorry I can't be with you for the whole day as planned.”
Luciel turned in his big bear's arms and hugged Phim’s waist. “It's OK, we can arrange for another day, you're a boss, so I understand your responsibilities. Just make sure you don't tire yourself out too much.”
I need to cultivate someone to take over my position! I wanna be lazy with my wife! Phim shouted in his heart.
Luciel indulged in his big bear's arms for a while, resting his cheek on the man’s sturdy, well-endowed chest, closing his eyes briefly as he listened to the strong heartbeat within. Phim also enjoyed snuggling his head into the nook of his wife’s neck, nudging against his fair skin. The couple embraced for a few minutes in silence until Luciel released his arms from around Phim’s waist and hooked them around his neck, Phim raised his head from Luciel's neck and looked into his eyes tenderly. Luciel moved forward and placed his thin lips on Phim's slightly larger warm lips as they shared a gentle kiss.
Luciel released himself gently from the kiss and patted Phim's chest. “Now then Dear, could you go wake the kids whilst I finish making breakfast?” Luciel asked. “It's about time for them to get ready for school.”
Phim released his arms from around Luciel and leaned in to kiss his forehead.
“Ok Love, I'll go do that.” Phim smiled as he turned around and left the kitchen.
Luciel took his eyes away from the direction Phim left and muttered softly “hmm~? An annoyance of a guest huh?”
For a brief moment, a cold glint flashed across his eyes as his pupils sharpened before returning to normal. He continued to make breakfast.
****
The home of Phim and Luciel is a small manor with three floors. The first floor is where the kitchen, living room, library and recreational room is. The second floor is where their children's rooms are, and the third floor is where the master bedroom and study room is.
They have a total of three children; their elder adolescent daughter, Sera, is 49 years old. Their only son, Rubim, is 25 years old. Their youngest daughter, Ada, is 25 years old... as might be guessed they're Twins.
Phim got to the base of the stairs, sighed, then proceeded on upwards to the abode of his ‘angelic devils’.
Phim ascended the stairs. Passing the photographs on the wall that start from the time he and Luciel met; their marriage, when Luciel was pregnant with each of their children, of each child when they were not long born and once he got to the staircase landing he could see at the bottom of the long wide corridor, a large portrait painting of their family of five. It was Phim's and Luciel's favourite painting in the entire house, every time they looked at it the tenderness in their eyes would be palatable.
Taking his
eyes away from the painting, he gazed towards the door closest to himself on
the right... his youngest devil’s darling daughter's bedroom. Ada's
bedroom.
