Work Text:
Joel lived a fairly simple life-
He woke up, walked around rules over his kingdoms and protected his subjects.
Very simple stuff.
But even in simplicity there were complications.
Joel loved his wife, his queen.
And She loved him in return.
But it was rare for them to be together.
Once per moon cycle he got to see her.
Once per moon cycle Joel would stare out at the ocean observing every little wave and reflection.
He would wait on the sand, humming a soft little song.
Until the water stilled as if nothing more than a quiet lake with no wind.
Bioluminescent creatures would swarm near the shore, near Joel and he knew that she was near.
He was a proud man, but not to proud for this-
He sprinted into the water and many would probably call him made for it.
But Joel never cared what those losers thought anyways, so why start now?
He ran until he had to swim and he swam until he felt something solid beneath his feet once more.
From the still ocean water arose a beautiful goddess of a woman, she was larger than Joel by about two stories.
But that never was a problem for either of them.
Her skin was a pastel indigo and her hair was coral pink.
Every part of her screamed beauty and elegance.
Meanwhile Joel was just the soggy bloke who rushed in after her.
She held Joel in her two hands, and the touch was warm and filled with love.
While her smile was all teasing and fondness
“I told you to wait on the beach for me Joel, you’ll get all cold-“
Joel laughed at her comment “can’t a man just want to see his wife, Lizzy? Is that so bad?”
“It is when getting ill could kill you Joel.”
“Bah- no sickness wants to mess with me, I’m too handsome for that.”
Lizzy giggled and nudged Joel with her thumb-
“You know that’s not true.”
Joel simply smiled, continuing to memorize every detail of his Wife’s face. (Life he hadn’t already done that before-)
“Well I guess you’ll have to keep holding me so I don’t get cold.”
“I suppose I will, what an unfortunate way to spend the evening-“
Both of them shared similar smirks knowing that there wasn’t any other way they liked to spend their limited time together.
So long as they were together- they were happy.
