Chapter Text
I heard a knock at the door.
"Nyaro?"
"Yes, Mum."
I stopped looking at the night sky and turned around. Mum walked in and gently patted my head.
"My space boy, huh?"
I smiled and hugged her tightly.
"Mum, are you finally here to tell me why I have this big cut on my neck?"
"Ah, ooh..." she said softly.
I sat down on the floor while Mum called for Dad.
"Delix! Story time!"
"Coming, Mini!" Dad's voice came from the hallway.
Mum started playing with my hair as we waited. Soon, Dad came in carrying green tea for all of us.
"Here you go, buddy," he said, handing me a cup.
"Thank you," I whispered. I took a sip and then lay down on Mum's lap, sighing softly.
"Mum, say the story," I pouted.
She smiled and nodded.
"Okay, my angel, so this is what happened: I ran away with your Auntie Sirin-"
"Wow, you guys go that far back?" I interrupted.
"Yes, honey," she said. "I ran away with Auntie Sirin because I hated my family. We went to a different planet called Kepler-452b. Your dad was the son of the CEO there, but his dad didn't like me because I was from another planet. So... I died-"
I heard kissing noises from Dad.
"Ugh, Dad! Come on, do that later!" I said, giggling.
Mum laughed and continued, "Okay, okay. So after two days, I got saved. I did everything to get back to your dad, and I did. I brought him back to Earth. But Earth was dying, so me, your dad, and Sirin moved to Sylix. We bought this planet, so now your dad and I are the CEOs-the owners of the planet."
I looked at Mum in awe.
"Woah, Mum, battle scar and all."
She smiled warmly.
"Thank you, honey. Now drink your tea and get some sleep, okay?"
Mum kissed my forehead, then she and Dad quietly left the room.
I finished my tea, put the cup down, and felt happy as I drifted off to sleep.

Delix pulled me into a sudden, fierce kiss. My heart started pounding.
I gently pulled back, trying to catch my breath.
"What's wrong, Delix? We have to sleep," I whispered, feeling a little nervous.
He stopped kissing me and looked at me, his eyes dark with jealousy and worry.
"Is it someone at the company?" I asked softly, reaching up to touch his face.
He turned away, jaw tight.
"Go ask Caleb," he muttered.
I bit my lip, feeling a mix of fear, but trying to stay calm.
"Delix... I'm your wife. I'm the mother of our child. Why are you upset with my assistant? Please talk to me."
I softly rested my hand on his chest, hoping to comfort him.
He sighed deeply and hugged me tightly. Then he pressed a soft kiss to my neck.
"Yesterday, you smelled like vanilla. You usually smell like jasmine. So I know it's that Starbucks guy."
I felt a little fluttered of delix's jealousy
"He's just my assistant," I said softly, smiling up at him.
"S-Stop," he mumbled, voice shaky.
"Stop what?" I asked, curious.
"Just... the way you look at me," he confessed quietly.
I laughed softly and brushed a stray lock of hair behind his ear.
"What about it? Do you like it?"
He nodded quickly and buried his face in my neck.
"Okay, I'll stop," I teased.
"Nooo," he whined softly.
"Hmm?"
I lifted his face gently with my hands.
"Please, Mini... don't stop," he whispered, voice thick with need.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close, cuddling into my warmth.
"stay with me please..." he pleaded.
I smiled, my heart fluttering.
"always." I said with a teasing smirk.
