Claiming his Maiden

as she thought back to the moment, he awakened in the temple and she had first laid eyes on him she had found him attractive even though she had been scared he seemed so wildly

savage at the same time so ethereal and beautiful she wasn't able to truly be scared of him she had been more scared of the unknown

possibilities of what might happen to her but now she knew those things weren't going to happen that fear was gone and that beautiful ethereal being was all hers

"I have to let you finish your bath you're supposed to be meeting your classmates for a meal soon," he said lifting off her

"Where are you going?" she asked pulling him back to her by the waistband of his pants

He looked down at hand and back at her arching an eyebrow

"take it off you're already soaked," she said

"if my pants come off all bets are off" he replied

She rolled her eyes at him "is that supposed to scare me?" She asked yanking his pants again she got off the bed and dragged him back to the bathroom by his pants

"off! now!" she ordered

"Bethany no!" he responded flushing trying to pull away again

"You're nineteen and I'm twenty-five" she stated "out of the two of us who do think is the adult here? why is it fair I'm the only one naked here after you barged into my bath hmm?"

He froze in shock gazing at her open-mouthed

"That's right Mr scary raven celestial with superpowers, I'm older than you and I'm your mate you have to obey me here"

he did as she ordered first removing his belt on which hung his swords

"don't move," he said he pressed a hand to the orb of the necklace she still wore around her neck the orb lit up and the sword belt vanished

"you have my swords now please keep them safe for me," he said

she nodded and smiled "sure I will sweety"

she grabbed some bottles from a shelf nearby

"what are those?" he asked her

"I'm going to take care of you" she replied "from now on if you want to adapt more easily to this world and be together with me then I will have to help you"

he nodded

"Good! the first lesson", she stated "we are going to do something about this untamable hair of yours"

she came towards him with the bottles in hand,

moments later she was washing his hair for him while he sat on the edge of the bathroom wall for her

he was way too tall otherwise

he groaned loving the feeling of her hands massaging his scalp

"don't you dare let anyone else do anything to your hair or I will be really upset," she said

"that's not hard" he replied

"I mean it, do not let anyone convince you to get your hair cut or colored or anything in order to look more modern" she pressed him

"I love your hair being long like this I have a fantasy in my head about having a handsome boyfriend with long hair my whole life,

I just never got the chance to meet one, short hair is easier to take care of, so most guys wear their haircut these days, longer hair on guys is so rare, it's sort of old fashioned

but I'm really happy you have long hair, it's so gorgeous"

she was running her sudsy fingers through the long silken locks that fell well past the middle of his back now it was loose

"I am going to style your hair for you"

"Do you know how to style hair?" he asked surprised

"I used to do it for a living back in high school, I worked part-time in a salon" she explained

"you see people will pay a lot of money to someone, who will help them take care of their hair and let them look nice,

there's a lot of cool things I could do with your hair, don't worry you're going to look very modern but really cool too"

she giggled "I have a handsome boyfriend now" she leaned down and kissed him quickly before going back to continue

she was giggling still Takehiko couldn't help smiling he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her his face resting against her tummy

he was so happy to be free "I have a lovely girlfriend now" he replied gazing up at her with adoration he was

stealing her heart with the sweet soft expression on his face was this really the fierce celestial who just woken up a few hours ago?

the duality of this being there was so much about him she needed to learn she was loving every moment

after finishing washing his hair

she decided to wash her hair while they were at it

leading to more playful frolic in the shower with him and several more delicious kisses

they finally emerged from the shower wrapped in multiple bath towels she towed him obediently to the bedroom

pushing him to sit on the bed

"let me get my hairdryer," she said

she came back and used a handheld device that blew hot air to dry his hair but he kept teasing her since the shower

with a laugh he took it from her and tumbled her into bed trapping her beneath him he nuzzled against her neck

"do we really have to go meet your class for dinner?" he asked

she nodded "they will probably come looking for me if we don't"

he sighed "I just want to stay here like this with you," he said his blue eyes warm and inviting

"aren't you hungry?"

she asked, "you haven't eaten anything since before you were sealed, how are you still ok right now?"

"I'm fine even without food" he answered

"celestials don't have to eat to sustain our bodies like humans do because of celestial energy but we do eat mostly for enjoyment

I've lost a great deal of energy because of being sealed I have to spend time cultivating in order to get back to my full power so I guess yes I am kind of hungry if you think about it like that,

I can't hide my wings from humans right now because of my low energy levels

the limbs in question fluttered slightly folded neatly against his back at the moment her hands stroking through the soft shiny black feathers

"I've been noticing that they have been appearing and disappearing at intervals all day," she said

he nodded

"I'm in a human form right now holding it uses up energy

but my form is not complete, my energy levels are too unstable since I just woke up until I settle down it's going to be like that sorry" he apologized

"it's fine don't be sorry its just a part of your circumstances, "she said

"it's totally fine" she hugged him "I can understand it, you're going to need time to be fully recovered after being sealed for so long there is bound to be something like repercussions afterward let me help trust me you'll be fine,"

she wiggled out from under him he sighed and let her up

"I have a vague idea about what to do," she said
