Comfort at Night
The moon was bright without any clouds and the lake was glistening under the light of the moon
Luna was looking outside the window as her mind drifts away to the scene in the dining room not too long ago. His face looked as if he was so desperate yet miserable, even though she gives him a choice
LunaMiria
(I already speak what I must say. Let's no need to overthink this)
Luna was preparing to go sleep when she heard there was a knock on the door
LunaMiria
(Who is it at this time of hour?)
LunaMiria
Do you need something, Lily?
Lily
That is.. His Grace wishes to enter..
LunaMiria
(Zax? What does he need this time?)
Lily
May His Grace come in, milady?
The door opened and a man entered, dressed in his night attire. His eyes laid on her
Zaxerius
I hope I'm not interrupting you
LunaMiria
Certainly not, my lord
Zaxerius
...May I spend the night with you?
LunaMiria
(You wish to spend the night with me?)
LunaMiria
Of course you may, my lord
He walked to the other side of the bed and made himself comfortable as he lays beside her. Luna was not uncomfortable but certainly she was confused by his behavior
Zaxerius
Do you feel uncomfortable?
LunaMiria
To be honest, I am quite surprised that you come here..
Zaxerius
Can't a husband sleep with his wife?
LunaMiria
I do not mean it in a bad way
LunaMiria
You are always so busy with your work..
Zaxerius
I will try to spare some time to spend with you
LunaMiria
Please do not worry about that and take care of your health
Zax slipped his hand under hers and grasped it slightly, attaining her attention. She was a bit surprised but she doesn't hate it. It was just something that she hadn't experience in a long time
Zaxerius
Can I still come with you tomorrow?
LunaMiria
It would be odd if we come separated, don't you think?
Zaxerius
No, I mean for me to stay by your side for the whole time there
LunaMiria
...Are you sure?
Zaxerius
And I request that not because I feel guilty nor responsible
Zaxerius
I merely wish to spend time with you, together
Zaxerius
Of course if you don't feel comfortable, you are free to refuse...
Luna smiled and gave his hand a slight squeeze for comfort, telling him it was okay
