I woke up in the morning; my eyes opening up in a flash. I could've sworn I was being embraced in my sleep. My imagination, huh? Whatever happened, I had a nice dream. I couldn't remember the whole dream, actually. However, all I did was skip through meadows in my dream and in the background was a red-head guy with no face. Kinda creepy, to be honest. Wait a minute. Red-head guy? Now that I think about it, last night there was this pervert who was cosplaying like a mythical person or something. . .

Suddenly, my whole being turned darker as if a shadow loomed over me. "What the hell are you talking about, pervert who was cosplaying?" A deep voice escaped the stranger's mouth. I could feel my forehead being flicked as I looked up to take a look at the face of this person. How did this person read my mind? Maybe, I talk while I think. Hold on a minute! Person?!

"AGH! Pervert! Stalker!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, my body slamming against the wall behind me.

This time, the stranger smacked me on the head. "Stupid human! Did we not discuss the matters from last night?!" The light began to shimmer through the curtains blocking the windows, as it brightened up the man's face. It was Harvest God? That's right. He snuck inside my house and suddenly became a resident here. How in the world did I forget that? He spoke irritably, "Supposedly, you were going to show me where I was going to sleep. However, as humans are, you never did. So I took matters in my own hands and slept with you."

My eyes widened. Quickly, I hovered my blanket over me as a protection. "No way! You took advantage of me in my sleep?!" To be honest, I was hiding the fact that my face was red as a tomato. Good thing I was sleeping, otherwise, I'd be staring at his sleeping face all night. Wait, does that mean he was the one who was hugging me in my sleep? "Perv--"

Harvest God interrupted me and pulled the blanket from my grasp. "Silent, human. You can pay me back by following my commands, no questions nor disagreeing." He loitered back to the couch leaving me all messed up again. What the heck is up with this guy? My idea of a god is gentle, kind, and nature-loving. However, Harvest God is the exact opposite! Ugh, why'd I ever think that he was actually a kind person in the first place?

I slithered out of bed and rummaged through my drawers, grabbing clothes as I quickly got dressed into. Then, I wandered through the living room, hoping he didn't notice my presence. Once I have the opportunity, I'll dash through the door and hope to find some refuge!

Harvest God spoke loudly on purpose, of course. "Woman, where in the world do you think you're going?" He took a sideways glance at me with a smirk curled up in his lips.

I froze in my tracks. My eyes wandered around as I fidgeted furiously, trying to make up an excuse to leave. Darn him for being so handsome. "Well. . . I. . . I . . . I. . ." I exhaled and inhaled slowly, preparing to shout. ". . . I DON'T KNOW!" Urk, wrong words. I was always bad at lying anyway. Also, I swear I heard Finn laughing in the background.

"Perfect. Well come here and fix my hair and don't ruin it." He pointed to his long, messy hair. If he's that worried about his hair, why doesn't he fix it himself? "During the night, you kept on pulling on my hair like you were going to fall off a cliff. You have such brutal strength, it's annoying."

A pout formed on the corner of my mouth as I crossed my arms. There was no way I was going to comb his hair, but it looks like my body can't deny his command. I ended up entangling my fingers into the thickness of his red strands. My body is moving on its own, honest (not)! "Buy some manners, why don't you? Call me by my name too! Tell me your name, as well!" I scolded him.

He scoffed, staring at the wall with boredom. The television is right in front of him so why doesn't he turn it on? Strange guy. "I'm a god so all beings on this island should respect me." He continued with a smirk, "I know your name perfectly well, Hi-Ka-Ri." I blushed when he said my name. It was so awkward. "However, my name is a secret. We'll save that moment for another time."

Stubborn God. I thought. I must admit, I was very excited to know what his name could be. Maybe his name is embarrassing? Whatever it is, I have to find out!

I started to braid his hair, making sure there weren't any loose strands. It took about twenty minutes which caused my fingers to hurt. Hey, this guy has a lot of hair. After a moment or so, I'd ask him about his name. "So you're name---" However, he'd interrupt me with some lame excuse or a command. This made me even more curious! The Harvest God was that embarrassed about his name?!

Once again, I asked him over and over and over. "What's you're name?"

"Get me a glass of water."

"Tell me you're name, please?"

"My robe is wrinkled. Iron it."

"Asking for your name isn't too much!"

"I'm famished."

"You're name?"

"None of your business."

He was getting on my nerves. I have no choice but to use force to get this guy to answer. My strategy was to get scissors and threaten to cut his hair unless he tells me the reason why he won't say his name. You know, the Harvest God loves his hair. Great plan, huh?

Harvest God was finally watching television; completely letting his guard down. I crouched down low to the floor with a pair of scissors in the palm of my hand. Then, I began crawling towards the back of the couch, reaching for his long hair that was just lying around. I was almost there, but I had to be quiet. Otherwise, Harvest God would surely punish me. My hand touched the tip of his hair and then. . .

"Explain to me what the hell you're doing, human." He spoke abruptly. I was shocked, appalled. How in the world did he figure out my presence?! I looked up, his head slightly tilting to take a glance at me. He smirked, "Failed, huh?"

~*~*~*~*~

I'm so embarrassed. Definitely, I'm like a little kid going all out to find an answer to my curiosity. How despicable.

I was kneeling down in front of him who was just sitting on the couch. "So you were that curious about my name? Hmph, humans are like that, I guess."

My mouth dropped from that insult. "Then at least tell me the reason why you won't mention your name! It's ruining my mind!"

He sighed heavily as his eyelids closed. He took his time just staying silent. I'm pretty sure he was thinking of an answer to say to me, but couldn't he at least hurry. The kneeling position was very painful; forcing all your weight onto your legs. Suddenly, he spoke, "Tell me this, which would you like to know first? My name or the reason?" Harvest God's eyes stared straight into mine; giving me pressure. I was pretty sure that both options would work, and since I couldn't wait to know his name. . .

"Your name!!" I blurted out.

All of a sudden, a wide smirk stretched upon his face. What for? I have no clue, but I feel like I'm going to regret my answer. "You sure?" He asked.

I nodded.

"You lack intelligence, human. But anyway, my name is Ignis." He said, still having that smirk plastered on his face. However, I don't get the big idea. What is he so confident about? He continued, "And the reason I couldn't tell my name is that we deities agreed to share our names once we propose our love, or how you humans say it 'marriage'. But now that I've spoken my name to you, we are pretty much an item, hm?"

You couldn't believe how shocked I was, and a bit disgusted. I made the wrong move. My days just keep getting worse with him around! "N-No way!" I shouted, my skin turning pale. But a thought ran across my mind. "Wait, doesn't it mean that you love me? How about that, huh?" I turned his words around, which made me pretty proud. However, Harvest God, or Ignis, simply scoffed.

"Me fall for you? No way in hell." Ouch, that kind of pierced my heart. Rude much? "To me, you look like an airhead, or so to speak. If you honestly think I'd have feelings, you are wrong."

Well, I must admit. . . My friends think that I space out too much. That's because I have a lot to do! Especially babysitting this guy. "Excuse me for being an airhead!" I argued back and looked away with a pout. "And for your information, I have no feelings for you. So we're even!" Abruptly, I stood and walked away to my bedroom. I could hear him chuckle as I walked. To my mother up in the sky. . . Forgive me if I kill a God. But, to be honest, his words made me blush. We are almost like a married couple if you think about it. I make him meals and we'd often have arguments. Also, I'm pretty sure he hugged me in his sleep. Wait, I'm not saying that I like him or anything. I'm just reasoning with myself, that's all. Anyway, he was the first guy I've talked to throughout my life here on this island. Ever since I was a child, I would always distance myself from people. I do make conversations with someone, however, it's always short. So, I'm pretty lonely. Now that Ignis (not used to saying his name) entered my life, I guess I'm pretty happy now. I still hate him though.

I cuddled my fluffy blanket around me and just collapsed on the bed; allowing myself to sink into the cloud-like mattress. What a day - a strange day. I have many more questions to ask him, however. But I'll ask him when I think the moment is right.

~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, I easily woke up without hesitation. Usually, I'm very tired in the morning, but this time it's different. I sat, stretching out my arms and legs. I blinked my eyes, scratching my eyelids. My mind was still adjusting, however, so I just sat on the bed and waited a few minutes. As minutes passed, I suddenly noticed a large figure leaning close to me. "Holy c---" My mouth was slapped closed by his large, bear-like hand. Ignis.

"Is every morning like this? You, shocked and disgusted by my sudden appearance. Surely you are stupid, aren't you?" He said, sighing with slight irritation. "It's already afternoon and you have not prepared my meal." Oh, no wonder I wasn't tired. "Now hurry it up. I'm famished." His usual commands still annoy me, but I guess I can't resist them. I swiped his hand away from my face and stood, walking towards the kitchen. I could feel his eyes staring at my back, making me nervous. Suddenly, I heard him chuckle.

"Darling." He teased.

I tripped over my own feet and fell against the floor, blushing madly.
