Deep within a forest, far from society, but not far enough to make getting supplies such as food and water difficult, there lies a single house. That house was home to a very interesting couple; A beautiful half elf woman and a well known and highly regarded black haired man.
The couple lived in the small house they had built with one another, purposefully in a secluded part of the forest so they could be alone. They spent their days together, without the interruptions from the outside world, and without the noise of the city, truly a perfect, albeit humble, home.
It most certainly was a home by all definitions, and not a house, the only place they had ever felt calm and at peace, aside from in the loving embrace of the other of course.
The man, a powerful and influential person, known around the country, and perhaps even the world, for his plethora of outstanding achievements, as well as his alleged immunity to mysterious powers of the witches of sin, never understood the difference between a house and a home, at least, not until he came to this world filled with many horrific sights.
Those sights were worth it however, for had he not ended up in this world, he would never have met, and saved, the beautiful half elf that lay peacefully in his arms, smiling contently with her eyes closed.
They would have lived in the Pleiades watchtower, his most proud creation, but that was no home.
He could have bought the most impressive mansion in all of Lugnica, but it wouldn't have been a home.
He could have moved to one of the other countries and bought a mansion there, but those countries weren't a place he could ever have a home in.
He could have ruled one of those countries if he really wanted to, but once again that wouldn't be home.
So, he made a place that would be home, with his wife.
The duo of husband and wife currently lay in their bed, hugging comfortably as they did most nights, completely unashamed of their naked forms, and both smiling, happy to be together after the things they had gone through together.
Their peace was short lived however, as an all too familiar noise tore away their blissful atmosphere.
A baby crying, their baby daughter: Adhara, not even a year old, but yet it felt like she had been with them from the moment they met.
The man, known as the great sage: Flugel, by the world, let out a slight groan at having the peace be broken by his daughter's cries, most likely spurred on by hunger or discomfort.
He stuffed his face into his wife's beautiful silver hair, her response was to snuggle further into his chest.
"Ignore her, my beloved. She will go back to sleep soon." Her soft, bell like voice spoke out, a perfect pitch to his ears that never failed to put a wide smile on his face.
"If she doesn't, I'll get up with you." He offered, his voice betraying him by letting his tiredness show.
His wife backed away from his chest, taking his head out of her hair in the process, and gave him a stern look. Her beautiful amethyst eyes bore into him before softening slightly.
"You need sleep, my love." She reprimanded lightly as she lifted a hand to stroke his cheek, he subconsciously moved further into her touch with a smile, never taking his eyes from hers.
"You and Adhara are more important than sleep." He said, his voice fond as he spoke the name of his daughter. He still remembered seeing her for the first time, he was sure he would never forget that moment.
"Subaru, your health is important." Her voice held a certain sternness as she spoke a name that no passer-by would recognise, but it was a name that she adored, as she was the only one who could say it with such affection, and one of a very small number that knew of its existence and importance, indeed, the great sage Flugel did not exist, for his name wasn't ever Flugel, but rather Natsuki Subaru.
"I take perfectly good care of myself." He countered, albeit unconvincingly, earning a small pout from his wife.
"I'd still like it if you didn't leave for days on end to do sage work." She looked away, her face taking on a more serious look as she stared longingly at the ceiling.
Subaru, noticing his wife's discomfort, wrapped an arm around her tightly, protectively. She was unable to stay angry with him whenever he did that, and he was well aware of it.
"We've talked about this, Satella." He whispered gently, Adhara's cries continuing in the background.
Satella relaxedly moved further into his embrace as if on reflex, her eyes downcast.
"I wish it could just be us, without the witch's, and without you having to leave so often to save a village or attended some stupid meeting." Her voice held a frustration he had come to associate with this particular topic. He simply stroked her back lovingly as he let her release her emotions.
Her voice had trailed off, as she had calmed to a point. She knew it wasn't his fault that he had to leave for important business, she just wished to be left alone with her husband.
"I'm working on that, Satella-Tan." The honorific attached to her name brought her great comfort and joy, as it had for many years, as she slowed her breathing to a regular pace.
The two remained there, naked and cuddling one another, as Satella calmed down from her frustrated outburst.
Subaru cupped his wife's pale cheeks with both hands and looked her in the eye with a smile.
"You know I love you more than anything." He whispered, his voice drowning in love and adoration for the woman held between his palms, a woman he would move heaven and earth to see her happy, as he had done before.
Before she could respond however, her lips were sealed in a moment that never lost its importance no matter how many times they did it. He kissed her soft, and with a level of care she had become used to, and yet with a level of ferocity that she absolutely adored feeling in the heat of passion.
Her hands naturally made there way up his body and into his black hair, pushing him further into her as she presses her naked form onto his.
Subaru's hands remained glued to Satella's cheeks as he kissed her with a mixture of love and lust, urgent and yet wanting to savour the moment. Satella melted into the kiss, giving small moans into his mouth as he kissed her.
In a moment of assertiveness, she slowly pushed him into the bed and climbed on top of him, only ever leaving his mouth for air before quickly returning to his lips.
The kiss switched from Subaru's control to Satella's as she lay above him, allowing him free reign to explore her beautiful body.
He was well acquainted with her body, he had explored it many times, perhaps over a hundred times, and yet he still couldn't get past how stunning she was.
As she moved to further the heated moment, she saw an apologetic smile on her husband's face, worried she stopped all of her advances and gave him a questioning look.
He responded to her look with a small nod to their bedroom door, silently telling her that they needed to tend to their daughter before any sexual activities take place.
Her face dropped as she gave an annoyed huff, being a mother was so hard sometimes, but she wouldn't trade it for the world.
She stopped her advances as she lowered herself to rest her head on his chest, staring at the door with a lazy look while listening to her husband's decreasing heart rate.
"Are you sure we can't keep going?" She mumbled, already knowing the answer she would get, for she had relived this situation many times.
"Duty calls." Subaru said simply, a small grin on his face, "We can continue later." He recommended with a wink, Satella pouted in response.
"But we have a meeting with the witches." She said spitefully. Satella didn't get along with the witches of sin, not most of them at least, but her relationship with Echidna; the witch of greed was especially poor. The animosity between the two was largely a result of Echidna's seemingly baseless hatred of Subaru.
Satella was very protective of her husband, even if he was widely considered to be one of the strongest men in the world, she would not let him be insulted and treated poorly by anyone, especially the witch of greed.
Her overwhelming and egotistical personality was aggravating, and the way she treated Subaru, a man who had helped not only herself, but the witch of greed as well, was stepping over a line Satella had drawn long ago.
She would not let anyone disrespect her husband, not because she was unaware of or didn't accept his faults, but because the disrespect is entirely undeserved.
Even with his faults, her husband was an incredible man who deserved the world, and she would not stand for the insults thrown at him unjustly.
She was a true believer of fair criticism, but it seemed that those around her, and especially around him, either adored him to a point of ignoring his faults, or hated him to a point of blowing them out of proportion, and that made her livid.
"After the meeting we can do whatever you'd like, promise." His soothing voice snapped her back to reality, a reality she adored more than anything.
She gave a small smile to her naked husband, before giving him a shy look that she knew he loved.
"You mean it?" She asked playfully, pretending to be as shy as she was when they first met, he gave a cheeky smile and gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"Of course, my beloved." Satisfied by his promise she got off of him, and slowly crawled out of the bed, before looking back at him, silently asking if he was coming or not.
Subaru soon followed and got out of the bed, still naked.
Satella made no attempt to hide the fact that she was checking him out, as her eyes moved from his mean but caring eyes, all the way down to his toes, every inch of him was perfect to her.
She gave a flirtatious smirk and made her way to him, swaying her hips back and forth before stopping just before him.
"You're so hot." She whispered seductively. His face burned a bright red as he looked away with a grin, Satella poked at his chest, happy with his response she wrapped an arm around his neck "Carry me?" She asked, leaving little room for objection as she jumped up, ready to be caught by her beloved husband.
Subaru, having expected this to happen, caught her effortlessly, once again stealing a kiss as she blushed profusely at their position.
Subaru made his way out of the room, with Satella firmly held in his arms, a position she loved to be in.
As the duo approached Adhara's room they heard her cries get quieter and quieter, evidently, she had heard them coming; Satella smiled brightly knowing that her daughter was so perceptive.
Just outside of their daughter's room Subaru let Satella down, she gave him a bright smile that he returned "Thank you, my love." And with that the duo entered the room of the now quietly crying baby girl.
Satella skilfully made a very dim light, using Yin magic to create a crystal that reflected the moons gentle light.
To impress her husband, she shined the light on herself for a mere second, she was happy to notice his sparkling eyes and open jaw.
Subaru could only stare in awe at his wife's visage, never had he thought he would meet a girl so beautiful, let alone marry her.
The moonlight accentuated her every feature wonderfully, each curve being clear for Subaru to see, but what he loved most was how her eyes reflected the moonlight, her beautiful lavender eyes shining as a result of the beautiful light that illuminates her, reflecting the soft moonlight to make a scene that never failed to leave him breathless.
As she moved the light away from her and to their daughter, she smiled smugly to herself, clearly proud of the breathless state she had left Subaru in.
Normally Subaru would be angry to not see more of that absolutely perfect image, but something even more incredible was currently before him; the proof of the love he shared with the most incredible woman he would ever meet.
He couldn't even imagine a more wonderful life partner, and he certainly couldn't imagine a better daughter.
There she lies, with a cheeky smile spread across her tear-stricken face, her amethyst eyes shining brilliantly under the moonlight, similarly to her mothers, although the shape of her eyes matched her fathers, her beautiful eye colour gave them a loving look that both parents adored. Her adorable baby cheeks making her smiles seem even brighter than the were, and her long black hair that almost made it to her small shoulders, the same colour as her fathers, but as beautiful as her mothers. Past her hair lies the proof of her race, her pointed ears showing her elven blood.
Indeed, she was their daughter, it would be impossible to mistake her as anyone else but the child of the great sage and his wife.
Or as both mother and father greatly preferred; Natsuki Adhara, daughter of Natsuki Subaru and his wife Natsuki Satella.
The small child's arms reached up towards her mother, wide smile still present as she tried to communicate her desire to be picked up and cuddled as best she can.
Satella was all too happy to pick her daughter up. Passing Subaru the Minya crystal for light, she slowly made her way to the cot and reached for her daughter, taking her in her slender arms and brining her to her bare chest, the pillowy surface brining great joy to the infant as she nuzzled into her mothers ample bosom, making happy noises at the skin to skin contact.
Satella turned to look at her husband over her shoulders, his eyes were softer than they had ever been, even softer than they were when he confessed his love for her. Softer than when he looked at her in shock after their first kiss. Softer then when he gazed lovingly at her naked form for the first time. Softer than when he took her as his own. Softer than the look he had after their first time making love. Softer than when he proposed. And somehow softer than when he spoke those wonderful words on the day of their marriage.
She couldn't help but smile brightly seeing the look on his face.
Subaru loved her, he would always love her, and he would always think of her as the most beautiful and captivating woman in the world, but he could never even comprehend the scene before him. It would truly be an insult to call it perfect, as it was so much better than his perception of perfect.
His wife, the mother to his child, stood there, looking back at him with the loving smile of a housewife as she held his child in her arms, holding her close to her own naked body as the moon reflects from her wonderful eyes.
Just before Subaru could think nothing could be better than this, his daughter lifted her head from her mother's breasts and gave him a bright smile, her eyes reflecting the moonlight just as beautifully as her mothers. Her hand reached out to him and before he knew it his world was complete as she spoke the first real word of her entire life.
"Daaa." She cooed, and Subaru couldn't keep the look of shock off his face as he stared in complete disbelief over what he had heard, Satella too looked surprised before her eyes softened as she gave her daughter to her now crying husband.
Adhara gladly went to her father with a smile of joy as she cuddled into his more muscular chest, loving the feeling of safety it brought.
Satella smiled seeing the sight as Subaru gave her a tear-stricken smile, Subaru wrapped an arm around her and brought her into his side where she wrapped both her arms around her family. Subaru buried his face in her soft silver hair.
"I love you." He muttered gratefully to the love of his life, tightening his grip on her to truly get the message across.
Satella could only smile into his side, a smile that he no doubt felt, "And I love you back, my beloved." She said softly, and yet with all the conviction of her loud confession of love years ago, a confession that they would never forget.
It didn't take long for the quarter elf to fall asleep in her father's arms, in fact it took longer for the lovers to realise she was asleep than it took her to actually fall asleep.
"She's so cute when she's asleep." Satella cooed as she looked over her daughter with a look of pure motherly love.
Subaru could only hum in agreement, his own eyelids feeling heavy as he looked down at his daughter with a small smile.
Satella placed a gently hand on his arm and looked up at him worriedly, "Go back to bed, my love, I can handle her for now." Subaru could only nod as he handed his daughter to the half elf, who took her with great care, as if she would break at the slightest touch.
He left the room with no doubt that she would take perfect care of their daughter.
Once Subaru made it into their bedroom, he instantly flopped lazily onto the bed. No matter how much he wished to wait for his wife's return to his embrace, he simply couldn't stay awake long enough.
Satella looked back at the door to her daughter's room with a fond smile before putting her daughter to bed.
She walked to the cot once more, savouring every step she took with her daughter.
Before she lowered the baby into her bed, she gently kissed her small forehead, turning to the door once again with a mischievous grin.
Returning her gaze to her sleeping daughter she whispered something, so softly that no one but her would hear.
"How about mummy and daddy get you some brothers and sisters soon?" She said with a wide grin and rosy cheeks as the memory of Subaru's earlier promise made its way into her mind again.
She gently lowered her daughter back into bed and wished her a goodnight before returning to her own room, only to find a sleeping Subaru.
She gave a slight smile seeing her beloved sleeping so peacefully, positioned in the perfect position for her to snuggle with him.
And snuggle she did, as she crawled in beside him, covering herself with the blanket, taking a sneaky peek at his body under the covers, and then latching herself onto him in a tight embrace.
"I love you, Subaru, and I love our children, even the ones we are yet to have." She muttered just before she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Im back with more Subaru and Satella!
God I love them.
