Arthur's POV

Arthur Xantheus

*Looks at her*

Hazel Prescott

*Frightened*

Why is she looking so... frightened ? So scared...did I say something wrong ? I just said that I know everything about her...

... But that's kind of true...Did it bring back bad memories ?

Hazel Prescott

Do...do you really know everything about me ?

...I just made her frightened... Good job Arthur. Are you trying to be a jerk now ??

Arthur Xantheus

I kind of know...I guess ?

Hazel Prescott

...

Arthur Xantheus

I know about your... everything about your body ?

The crap !! It sounds so perverted...

Hazel Prescott

...What ?

Hazel Prescott

*Confused*

Arthur Xantheus

Your every belongings in our house...

Arthur Xantheus

I bought it all...

Arthur Xantheus

So...I know about your body shape and size...

Hazel Prescott

...

Hazel Prescott

You... bought it all ? You ?

Arthur Xantheus

*Nods*

Hazel Prescott

So... you only know about my physical form ?

Hazel Prescott

I mean... everything about my physical form ?

Arthur Xantheus

*Nods* Only about... your physical form...

Hazel Prescott

...

Hazel Prescott

Pfft -

Hazel Prescott

I can't believe it...

Hazel Prescott

Gosh, you sounded so perverted !

She... literally thought the same thing !!

Arthur Xantheus

I know...

Hazel Prescott

Hey...

Hazel Prescott

Why did you buy all of it by yourself ?

Because...I felt like I needed to know about you...to treat you respectfully, to keep you happy...I thought if I do this... I'll know about you...

Arthur Xantheus

To know about you...

Hazel Prescott

And about the towel ?

Arthur Xantheus

... Sorry ?

Hazel Prescott

Why did you wipe my feet with it ?

Hazel Prescott

It's yours, no ?

Arthur Xantheus

So what ?

Arthur Xantheus

You matter more...

A mere thing like my towel doesn't even compare when it comes to a human...that too you who is my wife...

I can't love you but that doesn't mean I'll not fulfill my duties as a husband towards you...

Arthur Xantheus

*Stands up*

Arthur Xantheus

Do you think you can walk ?

Hazel Prescott

*Nods*

Hazel Prescott

Yes.

Hazel Prescott

*Stands up*

Arthur Xantheus

Let's head back then.

Arthur Xantheus

*Turns around*

Hazel Prescott

Listen...

Arthur Xantheus

*Looks back*

Arthur Xantheus

Hmm ?

Hazel Prescott

...Grant me one wish...

Arthur Xantheus

*Turns towards her*

Arthur Xantheus

What ?

Hazel Prescott

... I'll tell you when I think it's the right time...

Arthur Xantheus

...*Nods*

What wish could it be ?

...

Aria Xantheus (Arthur's mom)

*Hugs Hazel*

Aria Xantheus (Arthur's mom)

You know come and visit us whenever you want to.

Aria Xantheus (Arthur's mom)

We'll be glad to have you.

Hazel Prescott

*Hugs back*

Hazel Prescott

Sure mom.

Aria Xantheus (Arthur's mom)

*Break the hug*

Iliana Xantheus (Arthur's sister)

*Hugs her*

Iliana Xantheus (Arthur's sister)

Goodbye sista.

Hazel Prescott

*Hugs back* Goodbye.

Iliana Xantheus (Arthur's sister)

Tell me the details next time...

Hazel Prescott

*Chuckles*

Hazel Prescott

*Breaks the hug*

Hazel Prescott

That's confidential. *winks*

Aria Xantheus (Arthur's mom)

What details ?

Iliana Xantheus (Arthur's sister)

You know mom...I won't tell you...

Iliana Xantheus (Arthur's sister)

It's between us.

Arthur Xantheus

🤨 I thought I made it clear Iliana.

Iliana Xantheus (Arthur's sister)

Whatever.

Arthur Xantheus

Mom, dad. We are going.

Lucas Xantheus (Arthur's dad)

*Nods* Come again soon.

Arthur Xantheus

*Nods* Goodbye.

We then leave...It was already late. Like around 1 am. And I was sure that Hazel is tired. Because...

Hazel Prescott

*Sleepy*

She's looking so sleepy...

Hazel Prescott

*Trying hard to not sleep*

Arthur Xantheus

*Driving the car*

Arthur Xantheus

You know...you can sleep if you are tired...

Hazel Prescott

Then you'll have to carry me to the room again.

Hazel Prescott

So no...

Arthur Xantheus

...You are light...

Hazel Prescott

Still no...

Arthur Xantheus

*Looks at her through the mirror*

Arthur Xantheus

*Looks at the road again*

Hazel Prescott

Can I ask you something honestly ?

Arthur Xantheus

Please do so.

Hazel Prescott

Why... don't you smile ?

Arthur Xantheus

I...

Because I have forgotten how to...

Arthur Xantheus

Simply because...

Arthur Xantheus

I am hardly expressive...

Hazel Prescott

...I see...

Hazel Prescott

...

Arthur Xantheus

...

The ride home was too silent... when I look at her... she's already asleep.

Arthur Xantheus

We're home...*mumbles*

But is it really her home ?

Home is a place where your heart wants to be... where you are happy...

Are you happy ? Do you want to stay with me ?

Hazel Prescott

*Sleeping peacefully*

You are such an angel...

You believe me enough to smile around me...

Even when you know nothing about me...

...Can I make this house our home ?

This is my home because I am alone here, because I feel like it's what I need... loneliness, because I am not...never going to love someone again.

I am not strong enough to go through that pain again...

I know for a fact that whether love brings you happiness or not, it surely brings you pain... sooner or later... somewhere in the way of loving, everyone feels pain...

Oh...I don't live alone here anymore...you are also here...

Though my definition of home is something else...I want to know what your definition of home is...

I want to know if this house can truly be your home or not...

Arthur Xantheus

Let's go angel. *mumbles*

...

Arthur Xantheus

*Puts her on the bed*

Hazel Prescott

*Sleeping comfortably*

Arthur Xantheus

At least, you are comfortable today...

Arthur Xantheus

Otherwise I...

Arthur Xantheus

The events of last night would be repeated...

Arthur Xantheus

Again...

Though none of us want it... to happen...

Arthur Xantheus

I should sleep in the office room today...

What if she feels awkward after waking up ?

Arthur Xantheus

*About to leave*

Arthur Xantheus

*Trips on his steps and falls at the bed*

Arthur Xantheus

*Shocked*

CREAK !!!

The crap !

Am I seriously serious ?

I fell on the bed ? The floor was not a problem but the bed !??

Is she awake ?

A very loud sound happened !!

Arthur Xantheus

*Looks beside*

I am glad...she is still asleep.

I guess, she's a heavy sleeper. Good for me. What if she woke up ? Then... it would look rude...

Arthur Xantheus

*Looking at her*

Arthur Xantheus

Goodnight angel. *mumbles*

Arthur Xantheus

*Turns towards her*

Arthur Xantheus

Let's be good to each other, hm ?

Am I crazy ? What am I even mumbling !?

Still...this feels good.

Arthur Xantheus

Be happy angel.

Arthur Xantheus

And don't like me.

Arthur Xantheus

I am bad.

Arthur Xantheus

Because I can't like you back romantically...

Arthur Xantheus

Sleep tight.

I have mumbled a lot. I should let her sleep in silence.

Arthur Xantheus

*About to get up*

Hazel Prescott

*Moves closer and hugs him tightly*

Hazel Prescott

Don't go...*mumbles*

Hazel Prescott

Don't... leave me

Arthur Xantheus

*Stunned*

Is she awake ?

Arthur Xantheus

*Looking at her attentively*

No... she's sleep talking.

Now who is leaving an angel like her in her dreams ?

Arthur Xantheus

*Tries to free himself*

Hazel Prescott

*Hugs more tightly*

Arthur Xantheus

...

Seems like...you won't let me go...

But...if you wake up next to me...

Won't you feel awkward ?

I know you said yes...that I can sleep with you...share the room with you...

But that's not going to be easy...

You living with me...I living with you...

That's a new thing...

Arthur Xantheus

*Sighs*

Hazel Prescott

*Sleeping*

Hazel Prescott

Don't...go...

Hazel Prescott

*Pleading tone*

Her voice...is so broken...

Arthur Xantheus

...

Hazel Prescott

...No...no...no !

Hazel Prescott

*Tears falling*

Hazel Prescott

*Moves in sleep*

She's panicking ?

What she's dreaming about ?

Arthur Xantheus

*Hugs her*

Arthur Xantheus

Shh... it's alright.

Arthur Xantheus

*Pats her back*

Hazel Prescott

*Moving in sleep more*

Hazel Prescott

Don't go please !

Hazel Prescott

*Sleep crying*

What should I do now ?

It's my first time experiencing something like this...

Arthur Xantheus

*Hugs her tightly*

Hazel Prescott

NO ! *yells and opens eyes*

Hazel Prescott

*Panting heavily*

Arthur Xantheus

Are... you okay ?

Arthur Xantheus

I mean... you don't look okay but...

Hazel Prescott

*Looks at him*

Hazel Prescott

...

Hazel Prescott

I am sorry...

Arthur Xantheus

Why ?

Hazel Prescott

For acting like this...

Arthur Xantheus

Hmm ?

Arthur Xantheus

Were you acting ?

Hazel Prescott

...

Hazel Prescott

*Tears fall*

Hazel Prescott

No...*broken voice*

Arthur Xantheus

*Wipes her tears*

Arthur Xantheus

Then don't say sorry.

Arthur Xantheus

It was unintentional...

Arthur Xantheus

Just a bad dream...

Arthur Xantheus

So sleep.

Arthur Xantheus

It's late... very late.

Hazel Prescott

...

Arthur Xantheus

You know... you are beautiful...

Hazel Prescott

...Sor-sorry ?

Arthur Xantheus

So, sleep more.

Arthur Xantheus

It'll increase your beauty...

Hazel Prescott

...Pfft-

Arthur Xantheus

Hmm ?

Hazel Prescott

Okay. *smiles*

Arthur Xantheus

*Pats her back*

Hazel Prescott

*Looking at him*

Arthur Xantheus

There there. Now close your eyes.

Hazel Prescott

*Close eyes*

Hazel Prescott

You... won't go... right ?

Arthur Xantheus

...

I thought...she would be uncomfortable... awkward

She wants me to stay ?

Arthur Xantheus

I won't...

Hazel Prescott

*Relaxes more*

...

Arthur Xantheus

*Sleeping peacefully*

Hazel Prescott

*Same*
