When the first 2 gods descended, they fell in love at first sight, and the moon god created several roses to gift to the sun god as a sign of his affection.

Those same roses were then passed down to their descendants, mortals, to take care of them.
Roses are usually red, but the first roses exist in different colors, and whenever a mortal pluck one of the original roses, they are blessed with unimaginable power.

A few of the roses have been found, and several others are waiting for their chosen one, but one, in particular, has never even been spotted, the black rose.

Re: The Last Rose

"Good, I got 1st in class." he replied as he crashed down on the couch with Goldie.

He mostly comes over to my house after school since everyone's usually here anyway, the bigger house helped, but even Rosa's here every day for her siblings, and my parents just want to spoil my children.

"She really does arguably spoil those guys more than your parents."

"...We really came a long way, huh?"

"Why ask such stupidly awkward questions?"

He then turned around to see whether my parents were close by.

"I spent most of my life in a lab, I'm not really social, you idiot." he whispered

"Don't worry, unlike you, I got standards and it'll be a while till I find a woman who fits all those criteria."

"Hey, my wives are the best there is, they're goddesses, like both literally and metaphorically."

"At this point, I'm not letting her get away."

"We could make a quick trip to an American arcade."

"Don't worry, I got some free time, and Naomi also taught me how to sort of disconnect myself from Ruka and Leilah, so we'll go just the both of us."

"I can hide him with illusions, let's go."

As I lay with my head nestled gently on Ruka's lap, she had her fingers running through my hair. It's moments like these that make everything feel right in the world. I can feel her warmth radiating, wrapping around me like a comforting blanket.

That's the wholesome side of me. Because I really love moments like these and those thoughts aren't going to be let out to the public.

I remember the delicious aroma that filled the kitchen earlier as we cooked together, laughing and stealing kisses between chopping vegetables and stirring pots. Ruka's not too much of an affectionate type, so she probably had a good mood today.

"Hey," I murmur softly, barely opening my eyes, "What do you think about making that pasta dish again sometime soon? With the garlic bread and maybe a side salad?"

"Why? The others are better at it."

"Why me? We barely even dated before all this."

"I've known you for years..and...every time I see you, I can't help but feel this... connection. I can't really explain it, so just take it."

"Isn't it arousal because you find me hot?"

"That's probably it." she said as she readjusted herself and had herself lay next to me instead, "Why? Got a problem?"

"Oh, so you love me for only my looks?"

She then got closer and wrapped her arms around me. I shift slightly to accommodate her, pulling her gently into my embrace as well. With her head resting against my chest, I can feel her soft breaths and this kind of sight is just too tempting, especially with her large chest pressed against my body.

"Our kids are too cute, I want to carry one too, a child who's related to me by blood and shares our similarities, I want one."

"We got 5 kids, including the adult Rosa."

"Yeah, get ready quick while I'm still in the mood." she replied as she took off my shirt.

Epilogue: Ruka wants one
