Part Two - New World - Chapter [031]

I somehow came to my senses before fully waking up, like I was in a dream within a dream. I could see the outside of me. I saw him sitting by my bedside, with his head down.

Had he fallen asleep? 

He looked so childlike in this moment, so vulnerable and strange.

But just like the one I had found - and the one who had found me. 

I wanted to touch him - comfort him, in a soft caring way.

In a way that expressed how much I cherished him and appreciated him.

Without using words. 

I wanted to kiss him - and hug him, say that everything was going to be okay. 

That I was here and he could count on me for whatever he needed. 

Before I woke - I thought of all these things. 

I wanted to tell them to him - but I couldn't - something pulled me back. 

I wanted to cry, I felt tears running down my face, my body soundly sleeping in his bed.

We were in his room. 

I could feel the morning shining through the window, behind his curtains.

There were so many things in this room - little knickknacks that were his.

He was a surprising reader. 

Some comic books and graphic novels - stories that inspire him. 

A clean desk with everything he might need to write a letter.

He also had some strange-looking keys tossed carelessly, next to a leather wallet.

A closet full of clothes, and the best part, a couple of small plants that seemed well taken care of. 

There wasn't much - but it was his. 

I didn't know why I was crying - were they happy tears? 

I wasn't sure. 

How could I be so cold - he used the word husband.

And we technically were. 

I had agreed to it - and we had gotten married. 

Nuptials - how could I not see it before? 

I had rapidly and hastily agreed to form a marriage bond with him - except this world gave it a different name. 

Inamorato

Still rings of a word of love. 

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

I'm not sure if I was okay with this. 

I saw my wedding differently in a past life maybe. 

Arslan also seemed quite needy in filling that contract. 

Alas - what's done is done. 

I married a guy - just because he has muscles.
