Chapter One: Sumia
He must admit that helping stumbles in the pegasus stables was not so bad, sure, he did not have the same touch with the steeds that his wife had, but, at least he could help her as long as he was not in the middle of another of his criminal acts In his hunt for sweets such as the renowned "Sticky-Fingers" it also helped that the animals liked the sugar cubes that he gave them whenever his wife was not seeing him, a way to make the animals more docile with him so as not to hinder his beloved.
Speaking of stumbles, he could hear his footsteps approaching, the woman had told him that she was going to look for hay for the horses, he himself had offered to bring it, but, she seemed so confident that he could bring them without tripping that he honestly had no reason to stop her. He clearly must have, if the sound of his suddenly hurried footsteps and the noise that followed when something fell to the ground was an affirmation of what had clearly happened.
The pegasus, already accustomed to his wife's accidents, did not react too much, although, he could swear that he heard some snorts from them, maybe the little ones had reacted a little more than their parents, but sooner or later they would go away. end up getting used to stumbles accidents.
"You never seem to change." He let out a sigh as he approached to help his wife, who was trying to get up off the ground, somehow he never managed to understand how it happened, the bucket with which he was carrying the hay was now on the woman's head, and the contents in her hair and clothes. He removed the bucket from her head, taking time to look at her woman as she apologized for her clumsiness and allowed him to help her pick the hay from her hair.
As he did so, he stared at Sumia for a few moments, admiring her briefly as she helped her clean herself, it had been a few years since they had defeated Grima and the world was finally at peace, they both did not seem to have aged much, not even with Cynthia's birth had ceased to look as beautiful as the day on which she was stung by multiple bees because of her.
"You're supposed to be the one who runs this stable, heh, you're lucky the ponies don't lose their respect for your falls." He could hear some of them snort at his words, how stumbles had managed to tame them was beyond him, but, she did and in fact, she was very good at doing it. He had never received complaints from Red about the behavior of the animals and that made him proud of his wife, it's not like he was going to say it.
"Sorry, it seems that I'm never going to change ..." He made a face when he heard his wife's depressed voice, he might have gone a bit too far, especially from the look that all the winged horses were giving him, you could tell that He had made a mistake in his words, but, despite that, he managed to keep a small smile on his face as he savored the lollipop in his mouth.
"And what's wrong with that? It's fun to watch you fall for every little thing, your stumbling makes Cynthia laugh a lot. " Then he turned his gaze a little "Besides, you're very pretty with everything and your clumsiness." He felt his cheeks heat up a little from the shame of saying those words, but, she was his wife after all, he was allowed to say that kind of thing to her.
"G-gaius ~!" Sumia threw herself into hugging him, stumbling and causing them both to fall to the ground once, she had to suppress a groan at the fall, but it was okay, well 'okay'.
"Oh Naga, between you and the future Cynthia they are going to break my bones with these expressions of affection, I pray that our Honey will not be the same when she grows up." Despite his annoying words, he never tried to get away from his wife, pampering her in the meantime before the gazes of the winged steeds, who snorted at human displays of affection.
"Come on, let's finish feeding these ponies, we have left our daughters alone for a long time and I am worried that our daughter from the future is teaching strange things to our honey."
He looked from the door of his daughter's room, seeing how stumbles said good night to his beautiful Honey, the Cynthia of the future had left an hour ago, according to her, she had to protect the town from any criminal who threatened her together to his partner, a very strange way to say that he was going to have a date with Owain, but, he was not going to make fun, he had already done it hundreds of times before.
He couldn't help but muffle a smile, what had he done to have such a sweet family? Help save the world from a deranged dragon? If this was his reward, in every future life he had after his death, it would certainly do so. When Stumbles came out after Cynthia finally fell asleep, he quietly closed the door, hearing some little giggles from the woman next to him.
"And now what are you laughing at?" He couldn't help but question what was amusing to his wife that she laughed so sweetly.
"You always have that goofy smile whenever you're around Cynthia." he couldn't help but feel his cheeks heat up.
"I ... I'm just happy." He looked at his wife, her adorable eyes urged him to keep talking. "A few years ago, I was just a stupid thief, taking any action to survive, today I'm still a thief, a thief that one day was hired by horrible people to enter a castle, without knowing they were going to kill someone, in any other situation, I would have died, but, I took the jackpot instead, I could meet the love of my life and make a sweet family with her. " He smirked. "I don't think I deserve that much."
He could feel how Sumia hugged him, he always felt so good to be close to her.
"You deserve it, you've always got your hands dirty for the good of others, I don't like that you're still a thief, we could live happily alone in the stable, but, I can't force you to stop doing what you're good at, at the same you would never force me to abandon the Pegasus. " the woman grabbed his cheeks and made him bend down to receive a sweet kiss "Never say you don't deserve this, we've been through a lot for you to have this type of insecurities, here." she handed him a sweet honey "I'll give you this if you swear never to say again that you don't deserve this. "
"Heh, who would say my wife would be so good at manipulating me?" He showed his best ladino smile. "Let's put another one a sweet bun in that oven."
"W-Wh-Gaius! Cynthia is sleeping ... "
"Well, we're lucky, because I'm the best thief of all, and we are the quietest of all, we just have to make sure you don't make noises, hehehe."
"G-Gaius..."
