Work Text:
Paradise, year XXY, five years after the corrupt empire collapsed.
However, the consequences of the fierce war are still there, imprinted in the minds of every person here with painful memories of loss and brutality. With faith in the newly established government and in the heroes who fought to bring glory to everyone.
The streets were repaired soon the splendor of the imperial capital was restored to its original state.
No, it must be said that it is much brighter and more gorgeous than before, no more slums, no more homeless people, or indentured slaves.
Everyone single-mindedly turned towards the symbols of their cause, the heroes.
Although there are still racists somewhere, how can we avoid that, after all the horrors that have haunted the people here throughout history since ancient times.
Perhaps the love between the two races will alleviate some of the hatred between the two species, but is that enough?
Perhaps it is because of this that today's event has been pondering and ultimately stirring up the masses of people from everywhere for two months now.
That the protector whom everyone loved the most would marry someone who was once a corrupt prince.
It was shocking news for everyone when they all loved to pair him up with their gentle caretaker.
Even though this big event had been carefully planned, the little blue guardian still couldn't hide his restlessness and adjusted his outfit for the 78th time that morning. He looked at the large basket of flowers placed on the coffee table amidst the luxurious interior design of the carriage, then sighed, hesitantly caressing a petal and then the oval-shaped jewel meticulously attached to each flower one by one. , he couldn't help but feel a little sad and disappointed because his sister and best friend were not with him on that day.
"Hey Cy, is everything okay there?"
Angle knocked on the door and entered the room. She was wearing a purple sundress made of soft chiffon, a little longer than her ankles.
She's sad too, he knows.
"Come on, you know we're all sad that she decided not to participate but today is the big day Cy, don't let them see that sad look on your face"
She took a flower from the flower basket and put it in his vest pocket. Right to the left chest, where his heart is.
"She's right here now, don't be sad, I don't know how she can find these flowers anymore, but it is a miracle, how much she really wants to bless your happiness, Cy"
She giggled and raised her hand to fix his tangled curls, gently like Cube often did to encourage him when he felt insecure and depressed like this. She does that to everyone, right?
"I also wished she would do this when she was nervous, wow you're so lucky."
She said and signaled 'See you later' then walked out of the room, I silently thanked her for her efforts to comfort him before this event, we all know how bad that prickly girl is at this point.
He smiled softly, caressing the flower petal she had just put on him again, then let his mind drift away again, he needed it to stop being so stressed at the moment.
Maybe Cube can be as gentle as a mother to everyone, but it seems like no one needs to point it out, everyone can see that she treats him completely differently, just Cyan alone.
Perhaps that's why the two are expected and paired that much.
Of course, he also realized that, but he only considered Cube as his most beloved sister, whom he admired very much, that feeling was simply pure love between family, It's completely unlike people to pair him and her together.
For him, the feeling of being with Blix makes his heart flutter every second, and the desire to be with him pairs him up and makes him his every second. Thinking of his perfect fiance in a white suit, gently looking at him with red eyes sparkling like the sweetest, most beautiful ruby, made him blush slightly and then dreamily adjust his sleeves again. I want to appear most perfect for him, my life partner, the person who will belong to me from now until this life ends.
It's time.
The carriage stopped, and that's when his mind returned. He could hear the bells ringing, everyone's laughter and happy cheers filling the air. He was greeted by the grins of Wren and Jack, who both helped him out of the carriage, one arm at a time.
Angle was also there with a large basket of colorful flowers. She laughed loudly and flew around, scattering flowers with each step I took closer to the ceremony.
Standing there is our new queen, Lix, who smiling at me with her formal attire and my love. The strong figure that I have always admired is now cherished and beautifully outlined through the soft, shimmering fabric of the suit.
His normally messy hair like a lion's is now gelled and perfectly shaped on his head, Gosh, how beautiful he is with that neat hair.
Those eyes that always made me drown with no way out were locked on me alone, making my heart beat faster.
We kept looking at each other passionately, locking each other's silhouette without leaving for a second, until I felt his big hand holding mine, squeezing tightly.
I could feel the stars in my eyes as I saw my reflection in his sweet gaze.
Only me.
"Everyone might think this is simply a political marriage between two species.
I can't deny that, but not only that, I really love him with all my soul and vow to stand here, spending my life forever by his side.
Maybe we didn't get off to a good start and I was a real jerk back then.
But that was when, you, the light of my life, were still not there to tell me what was good or what was bad.
That's when, you, your heart still hasn't found me, who's buried in the rubble of decay and can't find a way out on my own.
Thank you for saving me, for being the brightest light to guide me, with your heart and pure love.
Thank you for being generous in embracing and loving someone who has done things that no one can forgive.
But you did.
In return, you got my heart, my soul, my faith.
I am Blixer, representative of the Demon Shape race, today I vow to forever turn towards the light, and will never be soft in the face of darkness.
I will forever be by your side, holding your hand, taking care of you with everything I have, loving you until the end of my life, and giving you a full life and our healthy children.
No matter how difficult it is, I will accompany you, be your shield, be your shoulder, be your pillar from now until forever.
I love you, Cyan, little guardian of heaven, hero of my life, will you agree to become my other half and accompany me for the rest of this life?"
I held my breath as I listened to each thing he told me, my emotions seemed to burst at that moment, the moment he gently squeezed my hand with his soft and slightly rough nail pads.
The moment he confessed his sins to me, said those sweet words and those soft, warm eyes. I burst into tears with this endless happiness, I was in love, and he loved me too. We are real, not just lifeless lines of ink and paper, not the cold strong bond of lies.
The whole hall at that moment seemed as silent as I was before the sudden confession and confession of this gruff prince. No one could have imagined that this was true.
That he really fell in love with a guardian like him. But this is the truth. Once you put your soul on the line, no one can question whether it is true or not. The soul oath is absolute.
The little guard's choked sobs seemed to awaken the silent atmosphere of the party, everyone was anxiously waiting for his answer. Blix raised his hand, used his fingertips to wipe away his lover's tears, and affectionately lifted his face while his other hand gently stroked the back of his hand as if comforting him to calm down and breathe.
After a few exhales, he finally answered.
"Since we first met, I didn't think we could be where we are today.
It's not about standing here in the glow of peace or a wedding like this. You don't know how bad my first impression of you was, I was scared to death and hoped that I wouldn't have to face you one day.
But look at us now.
Hand in hand, vowing to love each other forever.
If I had thought about this day at that time, I would have laughed and then insisted that it was a fictional story woven by some crazy person who put the two of us together.
At this moment, I still laugh when I think about it..."
Blix gently clasped his hands in response, I looked up at his face, a bit shocked but still patiently listening to me, I could see a slight cloud of disappointment passing by his eyes. I could feel my smile get brighter, leaned on the hand that was still holding my face, gently rubbed on it, and then pressed my other hand into that warm embrace.
"...but this time I laughed because I was that crazy person, the one who wrote that insane love story.
I love you, Blixer.
With all my heart and soul, I feel lucky because at that time I saved you from that unimaginable thing, I feel lucky because I had you, my big kitty.
I, Cyan, guardian of heaven, representing the light of the mother tree, the hope of the Shape race, vow to be by your side, take good care of you my lover, love, tolerate, share, and be forever loyal to you.
I love you, Blixer, my perfect half, my grumpy big kitty, I vow to be your side and accompany you until this life ends."
I couldn't hide my tears. I rubbed his big palm affectionately and gently brushed my lips across the bulging flesh, while the whole hall burst into happiness.
My mind wandered back into his embrace and a strange feeling of happiness was welling up in my soul, his emotions, my soul, and his soul were tied together into a red thread wrapped around my ring finger. I looked at it and then turned to my sobbing kitty, burying his chin on my head. It was the first time I saw him cry because he was so happy like this.
I could see Lix gently stroking the corners of her eyes and then gently clearing her throat to attract the attention of those who were choking at our happiness.
"Then I, as the new queen of Paradise, hereby declare that you two are officially married, you two can kiss."
Without exception, his strong arms quickly pulled me into a suffocating kiss, mixing both of our tears. Instead of the deep, possessive, and sexual kiss like always, this time he just gently bit my lower lip, nibbled it, then placed a few more kisses on my upper lip and the corner of my mouth, while smiling and whispering how much he loved me.
I seemed to melt into it, completely forgetting about the world until I was awakened by everyone's gasps.
From the cat's-eye window facing directly from the church to the mother tree, a brilliant ray of light shone through, enveloping us both in its divine glow. The rows of flower beds that Angle firmly told to leave empty are now gradually undergoing magical changes.
The flower buds gradually emerged and they bloomed simultaneously, the pure white and blue flowers gradually covered the entire ceremony.
Even the grassland around the mother tree, which was always smooth and green with a new grass color, is now gradually covered by this flower.
That day, all the people in the kingdom somewhat respected my marriage with Blix.
Because I received a blessing from our goddess, that she witnessed our love.
Thanks to that, the scenario of everyone rebelling and leaving our marriage behind did not happen and was fully supported by the kingdom's subjects, and plots intended to oppose were completely suppressed without our having to act.
That a good news.
Blix and I are on our honeymoon on a beautiful little island not far from the capital.
This place is the private resting place of the captain and his wife, but the two of them will be in the capital to guard while we are away.
I was about to refuse, but when he mentioned our safety in case we were passionately immersed in each other and threw the world behind our heads, I reconsidered and agreed to stay here.
My mind wandered towards the coast and the gentle blue flower area covering each hill in the distance into strange, patchy blue patches. Although this place was not affected as much as the area near the mother tree, it still made me a bit surprised at the extent of the impact in such a short time, seemingly in just a moment.
That blue color reminds me of her.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a large arm wrapped around my waist from behind and pulled me closer to that firm chest. I hissed softly through gritted teeth, as his hand accidentally brushed over the bite mark last night, they were just scabs and still hurt like hell when accidentally touched. I jabbed my elbow into his chest, then muttered a low curse.
"I wonder who my beloved wife is thinking about while on his honeymoon with his newlywed husband."
His monotone, sarcastic voice rang out at the back of my head, right above the worst bite mark on my neck that was covered with someone's kiss marks and bites. I shivered slightly when I felt the warm breath creeping over my sensitive wound.
He even squeezed my left butt a few seconds later as punishment for my silence, not answering his jealous question.
"Hmmm, Blix!"
I moaned a little and then grumpily called out his name, wiggling a bit before being held back by him and threatening to fuck me right here if I didn't say what was bothering me. I gave in as soon as I tasted his anger and lust through the tip of my tongue, I had inadvertently forgotten that we had bonded souls that intended to habitually hide all our sorrows, not letting anyone know of its existence.
I bit my lower lip, then quickly regretted biting the tear that was trying to heal on it, your sadistic bastard Blixx, I rolled my eyes to the right corner of my vision, that a sign showing the negative thoughts that prevailed in me right now, my voice weak and broken as I called his name again.
"It's about Cube, I'm worried about her, this all went smoothly like a miracle, but that miracle makes me so insecure Blix..."
I grabbed the hand that was still clasped around my waist, shifting my sight to the blue crystal ring that stood out on his and his husband's ring fingers. it appeared right after that beautiful incident happened, it was at that moment that he felt something had changed, in his soul, it was not due to the soul connection between him and Blix. I took a big breath and tried to say the rest, trying to keep my voice from shaking.
"I don't feel the connection between me and her anymore,..."
"Maybe it's just that the goddess realized you were no longer a danger to the world so she temporarily hid it,...
She will be back soon after all her younger brother and family are here."
He just gently rubbed at my hair and muttered it, clumsily comforting me at my fear coming from nowhere, it worked but only a little, my soul still limped and cried out at the absence of what had almost bonded with it from the moment we existed, Although that feeling has happened before, she faces alienation, but this time... it's different... as if she were... NO!
I still couldn't get out, I heard him growl something in his throat and the sour taste on the tip of my tongue became even harsher, but before I could complain the feeling was quickly replaced by his sweet soft kiss, He lifted me with one hand, I turned and wrapped me around him while we were both still enjoying the kiss.
He growled louder and quickly took my lips harder, pushing them both into a state of arousal and heat, he slowly walked into the room, I warp my arm around his neck holding onto that passionate kiss, he used his other hand to thread into my hair and pulled me against his kiss in return.
They both continued until my back touched the cool surface of the newly changed sheets, with him propping his arms around me and his eyes blazing with his passionate fire. I silently thanked him for taking me out of that headless tangle of thoughts by taking me into his other ambiguous land, a place where it was just him, me, and pleasure.
