Well, here's the next one-shot. It's been better than my most abandoned one-shots series, but not as good as I was hoping, but I'm not going to give up. Enjoy.

Louise looked around and spotted Saito, Derfflinger tightly in his hands and his back towards her. Confused, the pinkette slowly stepped closer to him and frowned, "Saito? Saito, what's going on? Where are we?" she saw Saito's lips move but heard nothing.

Louise looked back and her eyes widened when she spotted multiple enemies behind them, their weapons at the ready. Taking her wand out of its holster, she narrowed her eyes and hissed, "You stupid idiots, who are you to-" before she could finish, Saito ran through her, surprising her as he ran towards the army, "Saito, stop!" Louise's cry fell on deafen ears as she watched as the army attacked Saito before he had a chance to get close.

Louise watched on in disbelief as Saito fought a fruitless battle before falling back, badly bleeding as the army surrounded him, "Saito!" she ran towards him and knelt beside him as tears blurred her vision, "Saito! Saito, you idiot, get up! You can't do this to me! Get up and-" before she could finish, a blinding light filled the air as she heard screams of pain.

Louise shot up and panted as cold sweat covered her exposed body. Looking around, she sighed as she cupped a hand over her eyes and shook her head, "Louise?" her pink eyes shot opened as she looked beside her to see Saito slowly sitting up, rubbing his eyes, "What's wrong, love? Did something happen?" instead of responding, Louise threw her arms around Saito's torso and tackled him onto the bed as she cried into his chest.

Confused, Saito wrapped his arms around his wife as he gently rubbed her back, "Hey…it's um…it's okay, Louise, everything is-"

"…idiot…idiot, Saito," she looked up and Saito stared at her in confusion, "Why didn't you tell me what happened in Albion? What the hell were you-"

"Albi…Louise, nothing happened…I was just-"

"70,000 enemies…you almost died, stupid dog!" Saito frowned as Louise began punching her husband's chest, "It was my mission and you went and-"

"I did it so you can live happily and find someone to take care of you," Louise looked up as Saito frowned and shook his head, "I wasn't going to let you face down an army like that. I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if something happened to you. I'm sorry I tricked you like that, but I'm not sorry I took your place." Louise moaned as Saito sighed and kissed the top of her head, "And it's in the past now, Louise. The events that happened in Albion are behind us, I'm alive and we're married."

Louise frowned as she nuzzled closer to him, "I love you, Saito,"

"I love you too, Louise," Saito slightly smiled as he kissed the top of her head again and the two held each other for the rest of the night.

I had a lemon planned, but I'm saving that for my next post. There will be no post next week, and I know I just came back from break last week, but January is a slow month and a lot of people take time off during this month, whether it's here, YouTube, or some other social media site, everything is just slower during January. Enjoy.
