(From Blue's Perspective)
The weight of his precious words and the burden of not rembering anything felt painful. The more I tried to rember, the more painful it was.
"I... I can't rember anything, Dem," I mumbled.
"Don't try, my wife. You can't rember even if you try hard. I used the kind of potion that permanently removes a specific mory. So, the day is erased from your mory," he said. "I'm sorry, but it was a necessity. You know, you can get mad at for that."
"I'm not mad. You had your reasons, right?"
"Of course. How could I disclose the fact that I'm a werewolf at that mont? So, I had to do it," he nodded. "I rember that you brought a lot of dicine from the pharmacies. I told you not to take to a doctor. Well, you thought that I was a criminal and that's why I was refusing to see a doctor.
So, you were saying that you will call 911 no matter what. I didn't know what the hell '911' was back then. But well, now that I know, I feel stupid. Anyway, it took a while to convince you that I was attacked by assassins and they were still after . If you took to a doctor, they might find out my whereabouts. Well, I'm glad that you were cautious of strangers.
That's why my beautiful wife is safe after all though you were still hurt by your family. But if we forget about trash, you're okay because you were cautious."
'I guess so. But please, don't add 'darling', 'beautiful' all the ti. It's really too much to bear.'
"I was there for the whole day and you took care of without resting. You were crying, you know. I still rember how hard you were sobbing saying that how will I live when I lost so much blood. I asked you to hold my hand so I would feel safe."
"You really did that?" I grumbled.
"I wouldn't miss a chance like that, right?" he smirked. "Then I erased your mory."
"But did you have that potion with you that ti? Why?"
"Well, it wasn't with ... It fell from Ford's pocket."
"Eh? Why would he carry sothing like that with him?"
"I think it was because in case soone saw him killing you, he would just make them drink those potions."
"That's unrealistic. I an, like what if a person escaped right away? It's possible, right?" I said.
"He brought a lot of things with him, but this was the thing that fell from his pocket. He had co prepared for sure," he said.
'That bastard, Ford! That punk truly wanted to kill it seems.'
"Well, it was good that the mory-erasing potion fell from his pocket. It ca to use."
"But what if the potion wasn't there? What would you do then?" I asked. There was no way he would have thought of bringing with him that ti, right?
"I would have brought you with ."
"What?"
"Yes, that's the only way. Then I could have a lot early, but I wanted to wait until you're eighteen. The legal age for mating and marriage here is sixteen for girls and eighteen for boys. You were thirteen that ti. So, if I brought you here, I would have to wait only three years for you. But I didn't want that.
As per your country, the lawful age for marriage is eighteen. So, I wanted you to turn eighteen first. Well, actually, I didn't want to look like a creepy guy who seduces minor, so..."
"Pfft..."
"Are you laughing?"
"No... Why would I?"
"Ha, I'm glad that you're having fun. But I'm also sad that you are laughing at . And I'm confused as to why you're not angry at ."
"... What kind of odd feeling is that?" I muttered. "I told you before too. I don't have any reason to get mad at you. You wiped my mory for a reason. Though it was an important thing, I don't care as long as you think it's right."
"You trust that much?"
"I told you before too."
"Yeah. When I said you should trust anyone not even , you insisted that I earned your trust long ago. I'm glad, you know," he smiled.
'Ack! How can soone look so handso while smiling? Jesus, I might die from my husband's handsoness!'
"Well, are those the two tis I saved werewolves?" I asked.
"Yeah. Why are you asking this?"
"Well, you an to say I didn't save anyone else other than Evelyn and you?"
"That's right."
"And that's also those two tis?"
"Yeah. But I still don't understand why you're saying this. It's as if you expected a different answer."
"Of course, I did. I saved another wolf the sa day you ca. That's why all my money was spent and I couldn't bring beer for Draven. He was angry because of that and even beat up. But that's not the..."
He suddenly hugged . It was so sudden and unexpected that I was taken off-guard. But I felt warm.
"Dem... what is it? You're hugging suddenly..."
"Is it wrong for to hug my wife?"
"No, of course not... I an, it's so sudden..."
He placed on his lap. It was as if I was not a human but air. He did not seem to use much strength to move . It was embarrassing. I felt the need to hide sowhere. I was sure he would tease later about it.
"You know, I can sit down there..."
"My lap is more comfortable for you, my wife," he said.
'Comfortable, my ass! I'm all flustered now because of how close he is to !'
"Now you can talk?"
"How can I even talk like this?"
"Why? Your mouth isn't occupied in any other way. Or should I..."
"No, I'm talking. Lord, you are really sothing...," I mumbled. "So the wolf I saved that day was not a werewolf?"
"No, it was rely a wolf," he said.
"And I thought that it was a werewolf as well. Actually, I had forgotten all about it due to circumstances. But then when I rembered, I really thought it was a werewolf. I an, now that I think about it, basically, most of the ti of my life was surrounded by werewolves. So, I thought it was a werewolf as well. Guess I was being absurd," I said.
"I'm glad that it wasn't a werewolf."
"Why?"
"Why would you touch another werewolf except ?"
"What the... Are you being serious?"
"My wife, I'm a very jealous and possessive person, you know that, right?"
'Of course. How can I not know this? And he is even arrogant enough to admit this freely as if it's the most normal thing to say. Nonetheless, I still like him no matter how he is.'
I nodded slowly. "I get easily jealous. But trust , I'm holding back," he whispered into my ear. "That day, Luc even hugged you."
"Ah, yes...," I said. "But how do you know? I don't rember telling you this? It's not like I was hiding it from you. It's just I thought it was too insignificant."
"I slled him from you and then read Ezekiel's thoughts. He seed irritated that Luc hugged you as well. Well, it's not like I like this fact."
"It was just a friendly hug and it's just Luc."
"You don't even know Luc that well?"
"But he is your friend, right? So, he must be a good person and besides, he seed friendly to as well," I said.
He looked as if he hated it a lot. There were even furrows on his forehead. "... Ah, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I will keep my distance," I said.
"Happy now?"
"Only I can hold you like this," he muttered as he hugged tightly. "Only I can touch you, kiss you, embrace you, spoil you, and do everything with you. No one else."
"Right," I said. It was like I was comforting a little kid. Since I knew about his personality, I knew how much it ant for him to hear that I wanted it to be him only. In reality, I only wanted him as well. But for a person like him, it was important to express this with actions and words.
"I really have a weird thinking, right?" he chuckled bitterly.
"It's... It's okay to think differently than the rest only if it doesn't cross the line," I said.
"You'll be with even so, right?"
"Dem, please stop saying such things..."
"I don't know what's wrong with . I don't understand at all... Should I lock you up so you can't leave ? But you won't like that, will you?"
"No, I won't."
"Then tell ... tell what should I do to bind you to ?"
"Dem," I said slowly, "aren't we already bound together since the mont we got married? The marriage vows were not just words to , Dem. When the priest said we would cherish each other for the rest of our lives, I took it to heart. Didn't you, Dem? Didn't you carve the words in your heart as well?"
