Anneliese looked at the clock and then out her window, it was dark due to the only light coming from fires of touch lights and the stars, though despites the darkness she new her lover would co,e to her, he did after all promise and the joker king never broke his promise, so she knew their was no way he would and yet. He was late. And he was never late so it had her worrying.

What could be keeping him? Did he not mange to get away from his work? Was he captured by the guards of club or some other suit? Did he stupidly get his tail stuck I'm something again?

She had so many questions and honestly she was half tempted to walk out of her room not caring that she was only in her night clothing which was A soft green silk gown that had thin straps holding it up and only went down to mid-thigh along with its matching robe.

But she knew Gilbert would not enjoy anyone else seeing her in this outfit after all she only wore this when she knew he was coming to see her other wise she just wore a simple shirt and pants, since the castle got rather cold and only during the summer was it not to bad.

But then again if she didn't go check she wouldn't know if he was captured by someone be it her own suit or not. So closing the robe she made her way to the door her worried growing more my the moment. Only when a familier voice spoke to her did she pause. She hoped that it was who she wished it to be before turning around.

"Hey, did you miss me?" Gilbert smirked playfully despited looking rather scoffed up.

Anneliese for her part felt tears come to her eyes but she did her best to hold them back and marched cross the and realed her hand back the moment she was with arm reach she slapped him hard enough make his teeth hurt. "You idiot! What were you doing?! You are two hours late!"she glared at him with tears filled eyes before moving to hug him tightly. "And you're hurt, how did you end up hurt?" She eye the cut on the side of his face that she hadn't slapped.

A pit of guilt filled him as he watched his lover and sigh. "It's a long story, but the short story is that their may be a war with the diamond's soon." The was always some disagreement between the suits though gilbert fear that because of what he had to do would cause a great war which would bring the death of many and as he looked at the love of his life he knew that he might be forced to take soul form her and the thought chilled him.

Anneliese on her part had been quiet as she looked at his face seeing the worry and pain flash across his features and sighed before she knew something was bothering him. And she knew she couldn't do much but give him the strength to be able to handle it.

"Come." Taking his hand she pulled him to her bed, after all if he was sitting down she could tend to the bleeding cut and Not to mention she could check for any more that he might have gotten.

"... Anneliese?" She hummed as she had gotten to bed and shoved him lightly down on the sheets.

"Yes?" She watched for a moment before moving to run off to her bathroom so that she could get a wet cloth and some bandages.

Gilbert sighed and looked out the window he had come wishing he had t come but he knew had he not the brunette would be worried for him and he had spent a good amount of time in his own world to heal, so when he appeared before her that he wouldn't be to bad. Sadly it hadn't been enough for the cut to heal fully but ate lest the bruises elsewhere were gone.

He sighed and flopped down on the bed kind of wishing everything had gone to plain, cause if it had he would be laying bare with Anneliese sleeping in his arms having tried her out with the few rounds of love making. He hummed softly imaging her face from the times before when he had bed her. The memories seemed to make his body react though he was pulled out from his thoughts when he felt a soft hand touch his face.

opening eyes Gilbert saw his Anneliese looking at him with a bit of consern. Her hand was on his cheek before she moved her other hand to wipe his cut with the wet wash cloth. "Care to tell me what happened?" A bit of warmth filled him starting from where her hand touched his flesh and sprees out though out his body and he knew she was using her powers to give him strength.

"...I will tell you another time." He pulled Anneliese down and snuggled her Ingoing her as she asked him to let her go. "... Can I ask you again if you will come live with me?" He wanted her safe, he wanted her to be one of his people so that he would not have to worry about her leaving him, but he knew her answer but maybe one day she would change her mind.

"Gilbert, you know I can not, I have to help my people if not for me and the Queen the king would make our people suffer." Gilbert cup her cheek and the both of the looked deep into the others eyes both filled with worry and concern before the male closed his eyes and pulled the club closer

"If I feel like if I am going to lose you I am no longer giving you the option." He may be a king of the other world but he refused to watch Anneliese die.

"If you must, but I will help my people no mater what." She sighed and closed her eyes decide she was going to sleep since it was rather late.

"Good." He petted her head. Put the make shift bandage Anneliese was going to out on him on cut. "Sorry I worried you."

"It's fine, I will punish you in the morning." Her response was quick and Gilbert only chuckled since if it was the women in his arms, the. He didn't mind a bit of punishment.

"Looking forward to it." He smiled and watched her till she fell asleep and after a hour of watching her sleep he followed her into a nice sleep.
