On a warm summer morning, all that could be heard for miles and miles worth of land, the only possible sign of intelligent life, was the soft, content, breathing of two cuddled up lovers.
The two, husband and wife, were hugging tightly and closely in their bed. The sheets flung off the bed and onto the floor exposing their skin to the warm air. Sweat covers the duo, not that they minded, they wouldn't separate for the world, as their chests rise and fall with each synchronised breath they took.
The mattress beneath them completely ruined by their earlier activities.
The half elf woman had her eyes closed, but that wasn't to sleep, that was to focus more on her beloved's heartbeat.
Likewise, the human man's eyes were closed, but that was to focus on his wife's steady breathing blowing across his chest, each puff of air sending shivers across his spine.
It was quite late in the morning. It was strange to see these two still in bed, seemingly asleep, at such a late time.
They were quite early risers most mornings, even before their daughter was born. They were people of routine, they would wake up, spend some time alone, whether it be spent kissing, making love, or simply cuddling, it didn't matter, they enjoyed that time greatly. Then they would get up and get ready for the day with a family breakfast.
The half elf ran her slim fingers across the bare chest of her husband, knowing exactly where everything was without even needing to open her eyes.
The man ran his hand through her silky-smooth silver hair, loving the feeling of it between his fingers.
"We should wake up." Subaru mused quietly, slightly tightening his grip on his wife.
She gave a light hum of agreement. She wanted to enjoy this skin-to-skin contact as best she could, but he was right.
"I suppose we should." She said airily, eyes still closed.
They both knew that despite saying they wanted to get out of bed, they would likely remain here for at least a few more minutes. That was fine, the intimate moment was lovely and something they enjoyed greatly.
Satella let out a breathless sigh, like a high school girl talking to her crush.
"We should think of names." She spoke, gently rubbing her abdomen against his.
Subaru's face exploded with colour at her comment, but he soon let out a sigh filled with love.
"Let's wait for a bit first." Satella gave a small nod as she began to hum.
Satella hummed a lot. It was always a sweet, pleasureful noise that her husband adored. Today was no different.
Slowly, and seemingly without reason, Subaru's eyes cracked open.
He was met with the sunlight peering through the swaying trees and into their room, almost perfectly landing on them, putting them in the makeshift spotlight. He couldn't help but look down his wife's flawless body. A body he had the pleasure of exploring.
He gave her head a soft kiss and squeezed her tightly before leaning away slightly, his eyes burning a hole into the smiling girl's eyelids.
He rolled his eyes and leaned over to her, giving her lips a soft, but loving, kiss. Not too deep or passionate, but filled with the love of a man who would do anything to see his family, and more importantly at this moment his wife, happy.
He leaned away with a grin; her eyes also cracked open. She had a smile that could brighten even the darkest of situations as she looked up at him, their bodies still pressed against each other closely.
"Thank you." She whispered, not explaining the reason for her gratitude.
For as long as he can remember now, their routine had one thing that would never change. Not with the time they woke up, nor the weather outside. Not the mood they were in, or the time they had. No matter what, every morning would begin with a kiss, for years now.
They had been married for two years now, but they had been together since they were teenagers, and even before that, when they were still preteens, they were close friends.
For almost ten years, they had started every day off with a kiss. The worst days of their life began with a kiss, but so did their best day.
If they start with a kiss, then every day at least has one good moment.
What he realised very quickly after marrying the woman, was that she was a massive flirt.
Oftentimes in the past two years, a morning kiss would quickly escalate into morning love making, not that he minded.
"What do you want for breakfast?" He asked, love clear in his voice as he stroked the hair away from her eyes.
She looked down with a seductive smirk as she shifted around.
Her eyes landed on her prize, an object she loved more than anything else in the world.
"I know exactly what I want to eat." She cooed seductively, poking at his private area.
Subaru blushed and looked away, as bashful as he was the day she confessed.
His mind wandered. How long ago was that now?
He quickly calculated and realisation dawned on him.
"Eight years…" He muttered; fondness clear in his voice.
Satella's head shot up from her teasing, her lover's words being deemed more important than her 'meal'.
"Eight perfect years." She whispered back, moving her hands to his chest, feeling his heartbeat carefully.
Her eyes stared deeply into his heart. Deep within him rests something dangerous, something he took in place of her to keep her safe. She would forever be grateful.
"I love you." He whispered fondly, kissing the top of her head once again.
He knew the look that adorned her face. Guilt. Sadness. Regret. But perhaps the silver lining was the immense and unmissable love on her face.
She buried her head into his chest, hugging him again.
"I think I lost my appetite for now. Can you hold me?" She asked softly. Subaru was more than happy to comply.
Wrapping her in a warm and tight embrace, he hummed the tune he taught her when they first met, waiting for her to join him.
Two lovers in a loving embrace.
They spent more time like that, not that they needed to.
By the time they had gotten out of bed it was closer to noon than it was to morning, not that they minded. Any time spent with each other was time well spent, be it pleasant or not.
Satella let out a cat like yawn before forcing herself off her beloved, if she stayed there for any longer, she genuinely would never have moved. Her beloved husband stretched his body out while on the bed, keeping his eyes glued to her figure as she bent over to pick her clothes off the floor.
She looked back at him over her shoulder with a smirk, and shook her bent over behind to tease him. He blushed but made no move to look away as his eyes carefully remained on her butt.
She let out a feminine giggle as she stopped shaking herself, quickly standing and throwing her underwear at him, perfectly covering his eyes with them.
"Do you have no shame? Lustfully leering at a fair maiden's behind as she bends over to retrieve something she dropped. You should apologise right this instant." She said, trying desperately to remain composed, only to let giggles escape her as she teased her grinning husband.
"I'm so sorry, oh fair maiden, could you find it deep within yourself to forgive a fool such as myself?" He asked sarcastically, doing a better job of keeping composed, although his grin remained glued to his face as he spoke the dopey words.
Satella gave a deep hum, looking to the sky in thought. Once she returned her gaze to her husband, she became a sputtering mess as she saw him nonchalantly swinging her underwear around his index finger, all the while he kept eye contact with her, an earnest smile replacing his grin.
"I- uh- my beloved- i-if you, oh. Uh." She sputtered, completely unaware of what she should say. Should she continue their joke? Make up a new joke? Flirt?
Instead of any of these ideas, she remained blushing and stuttering mess. What was worse was the fact that Subaru's face remained earnest and loving, devoid of all lust and sarcasm.
Then he did something that made her already flushed cheeks deepen, and her ears redden as she struggled with a mix of feelings within her.
He slowly and carefully brought the undergarment to his nose, and in the dead silence of the late morning, a time when the birds stopped chirping, and let out a loud, very audible sniff. His eyes never left hers, as if daring her to look away as he sniffed.
She didn't look away of course. How could she? Especially when he was sniffing her panties with such passion and intensity.
She was unsure of why this act affected her so deeply. His head was buried deep between her legs most nights, and yet the simple act of sniffing the underwear she had worn the day prior had embarrassed her to no end.
She gulped as she watched him take the piece of cloth from his face, almost letting out a relieved sigh as she watched it leave his nose, only for him to press it back to his face after taking a breath.
"Subaruuuuu stop it." She whined like a child, rushing to try and steal her panties back from him.
He let her take back what was rightfully hers with a smile mixed with emotions. On one hand he looked smug, and incredibly satisfied with himself. On the other hand, he looked dazed and lovestruck.
Satella took the underwear with a hot red blush and held it close to her chest, silently praying that they smelled good, or at least to her beloved's taste.
He let out a lovesick sigh as he looked up into her embarrassed eyes.
"You smell really nice." He complimented, only making her blush deepen.
His hand snaked around her thigh and brought her closer to the bed gently. She prepared for a lustful and sexual action, but instead all she felt was his gentle lips on her plump leg.
"I love you, Satella." He said simply, love quickly overtaking his lust.
She leaned down to place an equally soft kiss on his forehead, eyes shining with tears.
"I love you, too, my beloved Subaru." She says, voice cracking slightly. Subaru's hand up to stroke her hair lovingly.
Gently, and without warning, he planted a kiss to her stomach.
"And I love our future children." Her face exploded as she hid it behind her hands, the underwear in her hands making for a comical scene.
Subaru got out of bed to get dressed.
They both put on simple day clothes, nothing special as they didn't plan to leave the house today.
Subaru took longer to get ready, saying that nature was calling before rushing to the toilet. Satella smiled as she looked down at the pan she was cooking with. Subaru had taught her how to cook spectacular pancakes almost ten years ago now.
She could once again feel tears begin to build in her eyes. The sway of her hips stopped as she used her free hand to rub her eyes free of the unshed tears.
She continued to silently prepare breakfast for herself and her beloved.
Her hand made it to her stomach, just left of her belly button, exactly where her husband had kissed her.
"I wonder if im actually going to get pregnant again…" She whispered, not expecting the man who had likely impregnated her to sneak up behind her.
Subaru wrapped his hands around his wife's waist and placed his head on her shoulder to look at the food.
"Looks good." He commented, kissing her cheek cheekily "As always." She giggled softly and tilted her head onto his, resting it atop his head lovingly.
"I love you." She said, feeling his hand move to her stomach.
"I know." He said with a smirk. His hand looked down to her stomach, imagining it being bloated with a child, just as it was months ago. "If we didn't last night, I'm more than happy to try again~" He teased softly.
Satella hummed contently, taking a deep breath to ease the emotions within her.
Satella finished preparing dinner, Subaru set the table and made tea for himself and his wife, ready to spend the day relaxing with the woman.
The ate in silence, something they didn't often experience. Adhara had made quiet time extremely hard to come by, but with small moments like this, where the loving duo could simply sit and enjoy a meal as they enjoyed the others presence, they were some of their favourite moments.
They finished eating their dinner in silence. Subaru took the dishes and set them in the sink, quickly filling it with hot water.
Satella skipped over to her husband and grabbed a towel to dry the clean dishes. Flashing her husband a blinding smile she leaned on his shoulder and watched as he scrubbed away at the plates, pans, and cutlery, handing them to her to dry.
"Thank you for your help." He cheered with a smile, using the towel she held to dry his hands. She smiled at him flirtatiously and threw the towel on the bench behind him. His neck snapped to watch as the cloth landed perfectly on the bench, before looking over to the already airborne half elf.
Subaru unsurprisingly caught the love of his life with ease. She didn't grant him the time to get used to the position before skilfully attacking his lips with hers, diving her tongue inside his mouth.
Subaru slowly walked backwards, letting his wife's experienced feet direct him to the couch. They had done this before, many times in fact.
He felt his heel hit the couch and deliberately flung himself onto it, a smile dancing along his sealed lips.
Her kiss increased in passion as she felt her body weight shift to become horizontal and atop her loved one, tilting her neck freely to get better access to the insides of his mouth.
They let out a moan at the same time, forcing the half elf away from the young man's lips so she could let her girlish giggles escape her freely. Subaru's hands went from her waist to her stomach, and eventually to her breasts, before snaking around the back of her neck to bring her forehead to his.
"Why get dressed if you're just gonna seduce me like this?" He asked, genuinely curious.
"Shut up and impregnate me." She said with a smile.
"Gladly." he said firmly, kissing her with all the passion he had within him.
Their day was spent exactly the same as their night, basking in the silence and romantic air, loving the idea of another child.
