L'Arc's currently laying down on a couch, staring blankly at the ceiling while Naofumi is fast asleep on top of him, muttering, "This is my life now. I have been here for an hour, I have to pee but if I move I'll wake him. He has taken me hostage, I am a prisoner in my own home, there is no escape, I will die here."

Then he decided, 'Screw it.'

L'Arc gently moved Naofumi onto the couch pillows and makes a quick escape to the bathroom to pee.

When he comes back, Naofumi's still asleep, so he quietly climbs back onto the couch...only for Naofumi to snuggle and cling to him. Smiling, L'Arc snuggles back, enjoying the warmth.


L'Arc complains, "C'mon, I wasn't THAT drunk!"

Therese sighs, "You started flirting with Naofumi…"

"So what? He's my boyfriend."

"You asked him if he was single. And then cried when he said he wasn't."

L'Arc sweat-drops, not knowing what to say to that.


"C'mon, I wasn't THAT drunk."

Naofumi sighs, "You tried to cover my face with a highlighter because you said I was important."

L'Arc tears up, "Because you ARE!"

Naofumi shakes his head, "No, I'm really not."

L'Arc yells, "Don't say that Kiddo! You're important to me, and can never be replaced."

Naofumi ears slightly turned red, muttering, "...idiot."


Therese smirks, "I know you and Naofumi have nicknames for each other. And I'm not talking about you calling him 'Kiddo'."

L'Arc stutters denial, "I-I don't know what you're talking about."

Therese raises an eyebrow, "Oh? Then what do bees make?"

L'Arc answers, "Honey?"

Naofumi from the other room, not having heard what they were talking about, asks, "Yes dear?"

L'Arc sighs, giving up, "...fine."


All of the Heroes and their parties are kind of forced to attend a feast for something by the Queen. During the feast, whenever Motoyasu asks for someone to pass him something, Naofumi, with only Motoyasu seeing it, slowly moved it as further away as he can. This goes on all night and Motoyasu can't do anything about it because that will make him look bad. Naofumi is having the time of his life irritating Motoyasu to no end.

Ren and Itsuki notice too...but are too amused to do anything about it.


Bitch walks up to Naofumi and L'Arc's door and knocks loudly. L'Arc opens the door.

Bitch, in a fake sweet voice, "Is Naofumi-sama here?"

L'Arc blinks, "Uhhh... You know what…" he sees Naofumi sneak out of the window right behind L'Arc. He sweat-drops, answering, "He just left…"

After she leaves, L'Arc sighs, "She's gone."

Naofumi climbs back in through the window and they got back to doing whatever they were doing. That is: getting busy in bed.


When L'Arc almost got himself killed on a Quest, Naofumi, in front of everyone, stomps up to L'Arc, grabs his chin, pulls him down, and aggressively kisses L'Arc on the mouth. Before yelling, "Don't EVER do that again!"

Everyone, including L'Arc, as the two are not dating, were all stunned, "W-What?"

L'Arc would be stunned for a minute before Naofumi drags him to another room...and kisses him again.


Naofumi on his deathbed, asks, "I want the other Heroes to lower me into the grave."

Someone asks, "Why? You hate the other Heroes."

Naofumi answers, "So they can let me down one last time."

The other Heroes instantly feel guilty.


Therese, after L'Arc did something to make her angry, "I'm going to set fire to something you love!" She uses her magic.

Naofumi, standing at a stall, trying to purchase something nearby, is suddenly lit on harmless fire and people stare at him, "Why am I on fire?!"

L'Arc sweat-drops, asking, "You OK Kiddo?"

"Huh? Yeah..." Naofumi blinks as the flames don't hurt him at all.


Naofumi blinks, asking, "Did you just flirt with me?"

L'Arc smiles, "I have been for the past few weeks, but thanks for noticing."

"Uh…" Naofumi blushes.

L'Arc smirks, "Can I kiss you?"

Naofumi shyly nods.


L'Arc finds a drunk Naofumi sobbing and holding Filo and Raphtalia while Atla, Kheel, Rishia, and Fohl are in a group hug around them. He asks, "My love, what's wrong?"

Naofumi sobs some more, "I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HANDS TO HUG OUR CHILDREN!"

L'Arc instantly realizes that it's the rare drunk Naofumi, "It's OK, Kiddo. I'll help you."

Naofumi smiles, "Thanks, sweetie."

After hugging for about half an hour, L'Arc then convinces Naofumi to go to bed...and ends up carrying him after a few kisses.


Filo once called Naofumi and L'Arc "Mom and Dad".

"Who's Mom?!" is a bigger question than the implication that they're married. And when someone says they "argue like an old married couple," they just shout "We're not old!" and say nothing about the part of them being married.

Filo yells happily, "Master is Mom, and scythe guy is Dad!"

They're both flustered.


L'Arc confesses, "Naofumi, I want to marry you and raise like 50 demi-human kids with you. I love you so much."

He stares at him, "...L'Arc you're drunk as hell."

L'Arc smiles, "I can be both drunk and love you."

Blushing, "I…like you, I think."

L'Arc's eyes brighten, "Does that mean we can-"

He puts a finger to his lips, immediately shushing him, "We'll talk when you're sober."

L'Arc mutters before he passes out on the table, "M'kay… Goodnight."

Naofumi smiles, "Goodnight."


Naofumi addresses the Melromarc royal family when the queen is away, "Alright, listen up you little shits. Not you, Melty. You're an angel and we're thrilled you're here."


At some point, all the heroes are at some rather nice tavern/inn and the subject of dancing comes up. Naofumi's about to say he's only done ballroom waltzes a long time ago when he was younger but he gets pulled into some competition because Motoyasu's annoying.

It eventually turns into chaos as the three argue while Naofumi tells them to shut up.

Naofumi sighs, "Guys, I just wanted to teach my daughters how to dance-"

Motoyasu cuts him off, "Come on, Naofumi! You and me! We'll see who dances the best!"

Naofumi grits his teeth, trying to control his anger, "I'm -this- close to destroying you all.…"

L'Arc walks in all, "Oh hey guys, what's going on?"

Naofumi sighs, "These idiots want a dance contest…"

L'Arc brags, "Well, you're looking at the current tango champion~" before offering, "Want to be my partner?"

Naofumi smirks, "...sure."

Nao-L'Arc pair destroys the competition.


L'Arc coos, "I can't believe you used to have a crush on me, how cuuute~"

Naofumi shakes his head, "... L'Arc, we're married…"

"I know but still!~"

Naofumi kisses him on the lips to shut him up, and L'Arc kisses him back.


Therese, being both L'Arc and Naofumi's wing-woman and pushing the two together. Therese claims, "The gems are my children. Naofumi has already given me at least 20 beautiful gem children. Your move L'Arc."

L'Arc fights back, "...Hey Naofumi, I found like 5 demi-human kids that need a home!"

Naofumi sighs, then accept the kids as his own after he meets them. All the kids would call Naofumi "mom". L'Arc would be called "dad". They blush at the sentiment.


Filo innocently asks, "L'Arc, what's a Sugar Daddy?"

L'Arc answers, "I don't know if I should tell you, but it's a guy in a type of relationship that has a lot of money and buys or does things for the other person in exchange for uh... stuff, I guess…"

Filo blinks, "So are you Master Naofumi's Sugar Daddy?"

L'Arc chokes…but he talked himself into that one. He only has himself to blame.

Naofumi from another room, yells, "I mean well, TECHNICALLY-"

L'Arc's barely surviving, "HONEY, PLEASE!" before sighing, "Yes...but I love him."

Filo asks, "Will you two get married then?"

Both blush, "Uh…not right now."


L'Arc Berg before meeting Naofumi, "The Shield Hero is a devil in humans clothing, killing him will be a mercy unto this world."

L'Arc Berg after meeting Naofumi, "I've only had Naofumi for a day and a half but if anything happened to him, I'd kill everyone in this world and then myself."
