"I'll never forget you!" You said, wailing. "I will always love you!" He was your best friend after all and the morning he departed with his family, you left a small and gentle kiss on his cheek.

A/N: I wrote this, deleted it and rewrote this multiple times, before finally settling with this idea/plot. I stopped, took a walk in the night air and continued writing. I figured taking a walk outside helps when I'm stuck.💗💗 I hope you'll enjoy!!💕💕
Prompts: graceful | volcano | blanket (Day 12/2024)
--------------------------------------------
"Hold on!" Karno said, catching your small hand in his equally tiny one.
You gripped him tightly, as you balanced yourself on the fallen tree trunk. You gasped, thinking you were about to slip, when it rolled a little to the side, but your friend kept you up, using his second hand as well. "Okay...!" You uttered between ragged breaths.
"You're steady?" He asked, his voice thin and almost tumbling to the feminin side.
You nodded, your grin broad and the apples of your cheeks rosé, your hair disheveled and slipping out of the ribbon your mother had tied around them, forming a ponytail, before you could scurry off into the forest.
Karno's sweet face was before you, his cheeks soft and pinchable with the way they puffed out. "Your hair." He said, giggling.
"I guess I don't need this then." You said, with your childlike voice and you reached for the lilac ribbon in your hair, pulling it off completely.
"Look!" He begged enthusiastically for your attention, shoving a hand into the pocket of his white tunic. "Dad brought some of these home yesterday and I got us some." He explained, voice cheerful, while the sunlight dived into his dark chocolate eyes.
Your eyes brightened, upon the sight of the fresh strawberries that laid upon Karno's small palm.
"I knew you'd react like that." He laughed and your face felt warmer, for a reason your innocent little mind couldn't fathom just yet.
You two hopped off the tree trunk, stones and soil ending up crashed beneath your sandals and your own dress swaying, when your body was still in the air, feet not touching the ground yet.
You took a seat on a big rock nearby and shared the fruits, indulging in the slightly sour sweetness of them.
Your eyes trailed across your best friend's facial features and the smile you've been harboring this entire time faded, a shadow conquering the light in your gaze.
"What's wrong?" Karno asked, his cherubic face colored with concern, pure and limitless, wishing for no benefit.
"I can't believe you'll be moving away..." You answered melancholically, eyes casted upon your lap.
Karno's frail hand found your shoulder, ushering you to turn around and stare up at him. "We'll meet again. Don't be sad." He said, wishing from the bottom of his youthful heart that it'd return the stolen smile to your face.
"When?" You questioned, your eyes swelling with tears.
Karno's warm brown eyes remained in yours, chasing away the chill from your heart like fire in a firepit. "We're eight. So... In fifteen years?"
As the tears began their wet, sorrowful trail down your rosy cheeks, your breath hitched and you threw your arms around him, knocking his body down with yours on top, like a blanket.
Karno hugged you back tightly, as you sobbed into his shoulder.
"I'll never forget you!" You said, wailing. "I will always love you!" He was your best friend after all and the morning he departed with his family, you left a small and gentle kiss on his cheek.
The days and the nights collided, turning into months and then to years, changing your mind and body. The only thing that stayed the same was the love that had found its rightful home into your ribcage, nuzzled against your heartbeat. Maybe because this feeling wasn't an idea swirling in your head, but a yearning engraved into your soul.
With the passage of time, you were also able to realize that this love you felt for this boy wasn't just one for a friend, but one reserved for something more.
Fifteen years had gone by and now you carried a stack of books down the palace's hallway, your first day there as the archive's assistant.
Something met your body suddenly, your speeds colliding and pushing each other away, causing you to stumble backwards.
All the books fell from your hold, scattering around your feet and a strong hand gripped your forearm firmly, keeping you upright.
"I'm so sorry!" You hurried to apologize, head ducked in shame, as you crouched down to retrieve the books you dropped.
The god kneeled as well, helping you gather them and then offering them to you. "Here."
"Thank y—" Your voice died, still in your throat, when your eyes met the warm ones of this man.
"No..." He muttered, inspecting your face piece by piece. "No way..." A smile spread across his lips and its familiarity shook you to your core. "(Name)?!"
"Karno!" You cried out, throwing your arms around him without even considering. "Heavens..." You chuckled as you spoke, tears gathering at the corners of your eyes. "Look how much you've grown!"
"I could say the same thing about you!" His facial features had sharpened with maturity, yet his skin remained soft, even though his cheeks were not as puffed out anymore. "I missed you so much." He said, before squeezing you into his arms as if he was shipwrecked and you were his precious shore, the emotions flowing like they came out of a volcano. His graceful fingers tucked some tufts of hair behind your ear and his eyes squinted kindly, as he peered into your face. "You're so... Beautiful."
Karno sat up straight again and took a sip of his coffee, his lips quivering into a smile around the rim of his cup as he did so. His eyes looked at you and softened, affection coloring his expression and becoming its perfect description. He reached a hand out towards you and you placed your hand in his, on top of the table, allowing him to wrap his fingers around it and trace the back of it with his thumb. "My ophelia, you truly are the photography of happiness, right now."
He is so sweet. 🥺❤️😭😭😭

Prompts: photography | pepper | truffles (Day 21/2024)
--------------------------------------------
You sat down on your chair, opposite of Karno and placed your plate on the table. "I probably filled up my plate a bit too much, but..." You chuckled, shaking your head. "These truffles looked delicious."
"Don't humans say breakfast is the most important meal of the day?" He smiled, taking a sip of his coffee, which was devoid of all sugar. "Plus, this hotel cooks wonderful things. I can understand the need to taste as many as you can." He set his cup down and continued speaking, his dark eyes enchanting you with their rich color. "I liked the dinner they served yesterday."
You nodded, the sweet taste of the cocoa exploding in your mouth the second you bit into the truffle. "True." You replied after swallowing. "I liked their steak a lot."
He hummed, listening to your words, as he took another sip of his coffee. "Except..."
"What?" You asked, staring at him expectantly, your attention unwavering from his porcelain face. The dinning hall was overflowing with noise and the occasional clattering of silverware against plates, as the residents of the hotel enjoyed their first meal of the day, bringing life to the room, even though some of them were still sleepy.
"You know..." Karno shrugged his shoulders, gazing at you. "They could've made their dishes a bit more spicy. Maybe not all of them, but at least some of them."
You shook your head from side to side and sighed audibly. "Honey, your 'a bit' is the equivalent of knocking half of the people here unconscious."
"Come on..." He casted his eyes to the side. "It wouldn't be that bad."
"You're right," You said, supposedly agreeing with him. "it'd be even worse. All of the people here would loose consciousness." He made a little pout and you broke into a smile, that widened to a grin. "Karno...!" You laughed, your eyes squinting by your broad grin. "Honey, please, don't pout!"
He turned to stare at you from the corner of his eye and just as your laugh had calmed down, it intensified again. He broke into a smile himself, yours being contagious and stunningly vibrating. "You're certainly glowing when it comes to making fun of my taste buds."
"No, I would never..." But even as you tried to speak, your cackles made it hard to and Karno couldn't help, but follow along with your amusement, even though it was against him. "I would never! And I mean, never make fun of your deceased taste buds. That wouldn't be nice...!"
Karno folded his hands before his chest, laying back against the backrest of his chair and trying his hardest to suppress a smile, but the tears at the corners of his eyes proved his struggle. "Well," He began speaking, voice trembling by the laughter. "if you're provoking me..." He reached out and took ahold of the small bottle of pepper from the table.
Your eyes remained wide, your hand going to your mouth as you witnessed him sprinkle pepper all over his truffles. "Kar-oh, my god..." You made a theatrical gasping sound, watching him pick up a seasoned truffle and bringing it to his mouth. "Karno, is there something you want to talk about?" You asked, bursting out laughing a second after.
Karno chuckled, practically giggling himself, as he bent forward over the table.
You leaned in as well and he spoke in a low voice, once he had swallowed.
"The family of four to your right..." He paused, trying to keep his laughter under control. "I just watched the father and the mother look at me with the most terrified gazes."
You snorted, burying your lips into your hands as you laughed as quietly as possible, as to not disturb the rest of the residents during their breakfast and soon enough, tears were filling up your eyes.
Karno sat up straight again and took a sip of his coffee, his lips quivering into a smile around the rim of his cup as he did so. His eyes looked at you and softened, affection coloring his expression and becoming its perfect description. He reached a hand out towards you and you placed your hand in his, on top of the table, allowing him to wrap his fingers around it and trace the back of it with his thumb. "My ophelia, you truly are the photography of happiness, right now."
Karno: Looks at you. Smiles. Presses a kiss to your temple and continues doing whatever he was doing. (Spoiler alert: Tonight say bye bye to your spine. It'll be joining the Kangaroos in Australia very soon, aka tonight)
Bye bye to spine lol 🤣🤣🤣
Tauxolouve: HE'S A SWITCH AND WE ALL FUCKING KNEW. AND UNLIKE ICHTHYS, YOU BET YOUR ASS HE KNEW TOO. THIS MAN ACTS LIKE YOU JUST PICKED HIM UP FROM HIS HOUSE WITH YOUR CAR AND NOW YOU'RE TAKING HIM FOR ICE CREAM. (Which... IS a good idea. TAKE HIM FOR ICE CREAM!)
Ice cream 🫠 🤣🤣🤣
The gods' reactions to you gripping their thigh
Leon: Rest in peace to you AND your spine
Scorpio: Blushed. Then screeched so hard he accidentally called a poor dolpin's mom a scum
Teorus: You do realize you gotta do that every day now, cause he likes it, right?
Dui: *sigghhh* He is so touch starved he almost cried at the physical contact. Please, hold him or I will
Huedhaut: This man... *sniffling* He placed his hand on top of yours and laced fingers with you *screeching like Scorpio did earlier*
Ichthys: Bro realized how much of a sub he actually is AND BOI DID HE NOT SEE THAT SHIT COMING
Karno: Looks at you. Smiles. Presses a kiss to your temple and continues doing whatever he was doing. (Spoiler alert: Tonight say bye bye to your spine. It'll be joining the Kangaroos in Australia very soon, aka tonight)
Zyglavis: "What?" "What do you mean 'what'?" "You wanted something." "I wanted to grip your thigh, Zyg, for you's sake! Let me have my moment!"
Aigonorus: "Why the grip? Something scared you?" You kinda wanna call him a dumbass, but he's too cute and you can't find the strength
Krioff: Blushes and stays silent. "Kri?" He nods slowly, still refusing to stop looking at the ground. "You okay, baby?" He nods again. His brain is like a computer that had orange juice spilt all over it
Tauxolouve: HE'S A SWITCH AND WE ALL FUCKING KNEW. AND UNLIKE ICHTHYS, YOU BET YOUR ASS HE KNEW TOO. THIS MAN ACTS LIKE YOU JUST PICKED HIM UP FROM HIS HOUSE WITH YOUR CAR AND NOW YOU'RE TAKING HIM FOR ICE CREAM. (Which... IS a good idea. TAKE HIM FOR ICE CREAM!)
Partheno: Room overflowed with cum. There are no survivors.

Star-Crossed Myth Masterlist / General Masterlist / AO3
Your first sight when waking up was your boyfriend’s face and the relieved smile he gave you when you woke up.
Karno was sitting on a chair by the bed
“How long was I out for?” You asked, sitting up. It felt like no time at all.
“Four days. I was worried something had gone wrong.”
“Is that even possible?” You laughed.
“Leon said it isn’t, but I would only be able to rest when I saw you were okay by myself. How are you feeling?”
“Weird. And strangely tired.”
“That’s normal for your first few days. You might take some time adjusting.”
Karno moved to sit on the edge of the bed, and you snuggled up to him, only to be caught in a tight embrace.
“You were that worried?” You asked softly, giving him a quick peck on the lips.
“I just missed you. We haven’t spent that long without talking to each other for a while. I forgot how lonely that felt.”
He actually sounded a little embarrassed at the admission that he was feeling lonely, so you hugged him back, chuckling.
“Well, look at it this way. From now on, you’ll never be alone anymore.” You kissed his temple.
Karno sighed and laid down, pulling you almost on top of him.
“Sometimes I worry about what it cost you for this.”
“You agreed to it.” You reminded, gently kissing him. “I thought it was because you trusted me. I knew the consequences of my choice, but you know what I had to sacrifice was small compared to what both of us gained from this.”
Your job was the only thing holding you back on Earth, and it was a small sacrifice to stand by your husband’s side for the rest of time, instead of cursing him with the weight of your death.
“I do trust you. That’s why I didn’t try to convince you not to do this. I knew it was your decision to accept Leon’s offer or not.”
“It wasn’t. It was a decision that affects both of us. That was why I asked you. I already told you not to go along with things because I decided.”
Karno chuckled, caressing your cheek, before pulling you closer for a kiss.
“I didn’t. I really was fine with this change, and that was because you changed me. It was your choice, but if it had happened earlier, I don’t think I would have been able to accept it so easily. I didn’t need you to change for me, but I wasn’t as against the idea as I’ve been. I love you, and it wasn’t only because you were human. You’re the only person I could ever love, no matter what you chose to be.” Karno pulled you completely on top of him this time, giving you a quick kiss. “Now rest, my love.”
He pulled you down to lie down on his chest. You wanted to protest, but your body didn’t respond to your attempts to pull yourself up.
“Are you really going to stay like this?”
“As long as you won’t sleep for another four days.” He chuckled, caressing your hair with one hand, and the other took one of your hands, intertwining your fingers, before he pulled it to kiss the back of your hand. “We’ll have a lot of time together once you adjust.”
As much time as you wanted.
“See you tomorrow, then.” You whispered, tightening your hold on his hand. “I love you.”
You snuggled to him and let sleep claim you.

One of the best fics that i have read so far. 🤧 😭❤️❤️
Some of the best moments-
The ponytailed God bowed to you.
One of the best descriptions of Zyglavis. 🤣
Tauxolouve tilted his head slightly, smiling brightly. “Yup, we grant the wishes of Humans that are strong enough to reach the Heavens. Just because Zig is old and jaded -”
“I am younger than you!” Zyglavis snapped.
LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣
Zyglavis scowled. “The way that question was worded was a little biassed towards your department was it not? Both Wishes and Punishments are needed in order to maintain the balance of the Earth and the Heavens as you well know.”
Tauxolouve closed his eyes, smiling brightly in Zyglavis’ direction. He chuckled. “So you do admit that my department is important as well then.”
“...” Zyglavis looked to the side
LAMO 🤣🤣🤣
Your writing is wonderful!✨️✨️✨️ ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you will a write second part. Please!!! 🙏🥺
Hello! 🙂
I hope you aren't too busy at the moment.
I would like to request a story where Tauxolouve dies and is reborn as The King's son. Who falls in love with a human girl who became a Goddess. This human girl is not the MC from the game.
The details and the ending are upto you.
Thank you ❤️
Sorry this took a bit longer than I was expecting, though hopefully the length this ended up being explains that! (Was determined to get this up tonight so hopefully I didn't miss anything when rechecking through and formatting on AO3. It's gone midnight here 😅 )
Title: The Reborn Prince and The Ascended Goldfish
Rating: T
Fandom: Star-Crossed Myth
Status: Complete
Total Word Count: 16,832
Pairing: Tauxolouve/Goddess!Reader
Major Characters: Goddess!Reader, Tauxolouve, King of the Heavens, Huedhaut, Karno, Ichthys
Minor Characters: Teorus, Zyglavis, Leon, Aigonorus, Scorpio, Dui, Partheno, Krioff
Genre: Alternate Timeline, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending
Summary: The King of the Heavens refused to give Tauxolouve a home in the Heavens, but on the night of Tauxolouve's death he realises he had made a mistake and intervenes to raise his soul to that of a full God and raise him as his son.
Thousands of years later, you are a human whose business has failed due to issues beyond your control and when the King of the Heavens offers to raise you to a Goddess to start a new life, you take it.
The King offers you a place in Punishments, but Tauxolouve (who is Minister of Wishes) reveals that both departments are actually a God short right now.
However, The King immediately warns you away from Tauxolouve, and you soon find yourself wrapped up in secrecy in order to avoid the King's disapproval. All on top of discovering your divine powers and getting used to your powers and the other Zodiac Gods.
A/N: As this contains the reader finding out their divine power and talk about other divine powers and their issues, there are at least alluded to spoilers for quite a lot of the routes. Some things are still the same, but as I say this is an alternate timeline and the positions in Wishes are slightly different. As to how? Read the fic to find out! 😉 Not beta read, any mistakes ae my own.
Welcome Back!!! 🩷🩷🩷✨️
Going to read this as soon as i can. 😭🤧❣️❣️❣️❣️

In your eyes, nothing changed...
Even as years went by...
Youth slipped through your fingers like air and soil, yet you still could not tell the difference in your lover's appearance. They all say you've matured and grown, yet when you look at each other, you cannot recall a different face.
It was true though, you both had changed... Your voices got deeper, you were now taller and your bodies were fuller. Your minds changed too. You grew to understand the world around you much more, saw all the golden and the rusted. All the iced and burnt. But one thing remained unchanging...
Your hearts.
I LOVE THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE THEM!!! 😭😭😭🤧🥺💝💝💝
THANK YOU!!! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💓💝💝💝💝💝💝
Can i request a fluffy fic for Karno x goddess reader where they have a happy ending?
"Petals on your head"
Genre: fluff
Warnings: none
A/N: AHHHH I'M BACK AND I'M SO PROUD OF THIIIS
Your laughter echoed like the chirping of the Sparrows and the Wrens, as if dawn had called you to sing along with those birds. And you were running and running around the bushes, that harbored blooming rose of the softest pink in sight and touch.
Karno laughed as he chased after you, the young man's heart beating fast, his youth giving his smile two twin dimples.
You ran and crouched down, stifling your laughter you listened to his footsteps. Someone passing by would shake their head. They'd say that teenage love was unruly and melodic, waking up the dawn itself, and traveling along with the morning sunlight, drying the dump earth from the nighttime and causing it to overflow with purity.
You ceased to hear his footsteps and you smiled, a mischievous smile of a girl who felt like the queen of the skies at the passing of her fifteenth birthday. Still crouching, you tried to crawl and move away, to change your hiding spot so Karno wouldn't find you.
Your heart was beating quickly... Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed your waist and pulled you gently, but you yelped and cried out in surprise. The two of you tumbled backwards, Karno on his back and your own back on his chest.
Your fall made the fallen rose petals flutter and sway in the atmosphere, the breeze you created causing them to rise a little from the soil, before falling back down like velvet, rosy rain.
You laughed, his voice deeper than it was two years ago, but lighter than it'll be two years later. He was growing up into a man, though you didn't notice. You'd watch him so closely everyday, there was no sudden and impressive change. He... Was always perfect to you and filled up your stomach with butterflies, like the ones one would read in novels.
You shifted and sat up and he did so too right after you. You giggled, as you turned to stare at him and he smiled brightly, his face an alliance of youth and maturity.
"There are petals on your head." He said and chuckled, reaching out a hand to brush them off and you laughed. "You're one with the garden."
In your eyes, nothing changed... Even as years went by...
Youth slipped through your fingers like air and soil, yet you still could not tell the difference in your lover's appearance. They all say you've matured and grown, yet when you look at each other, you cannot recall a different face.
It was true though, you both had changed... Your voices got deeper, you were now taller and your bodies were fuller. Your minds changed too. You grew to understand the world around you much more, saw all the golden and the rusted. All the iced and burnt. But one thing remained unchanging...
Your hearts.
Karno walked behind you. He wasn't running and his footsteps were heavier and he wrapped a hand around your waist, pulling you to him, so your back was in contact with his body. "There are petals on your head." He chuckled and in his chuckle, you could hear a glimpse of your past and your teenage love, which matured like fine wine over the years. "You're one with the garden." He said, a lighthearted laugh breaking out of his lungs, like a feather through the railings of a locked caged.
You chuckled and turned around to face him, remaining in his warm and gentle hold, as he brushed off the soft pink petals form your hair. You reached a hand out to a nearby bush and picked a ripe and reddish raspberry. You brought it to Karno's lips and he parted them, allowing you to feed it to him.
He chewed with a smile and once he swallowed, he pressed a kiss to your forehead. "I love you... My dear wife."
if ur still taking requests... could i ask for zyglavis soothing MC to sleep? 💗💗💗
SCM- DEPARTMENT OF PUNISHMENT
ZYGLAVIS ♎️ - Sleep Well, My Love
A/N: Thank you for requesting anon. I hope this story is to your liking. 😊❤️
The rain fell heavily, making unpleasant noise as it hit the window. You were lying on the bed. Your eyes were tightly closed as you tried focusing on your breathing to calm your mind.
You knew, it was surely past midnight.
Tomorrow you had to wake up early, revise the documents one last time before handing it over to Lady Irianna. Then wait anxiously as they evaluate your work.
-
'Zyglavis? Are you done writing?'
Looking up Zyglavis met the eyes of his mentor. "No, sir. I- "
His metor raised his hand indicating him not to continue the rest of the sentence.
" You should take rest. We will complete the lessons tomorrow." He said as an affectionate smile graced on his face.
Reluctantly Zyglavis stood up and closed the book and notebook and snapped his fingers, putting them in their designated place.
" Thank you, sir ", he said before quietly exiting the room.
On his way to his room he was greeted by some of the rain drops them were carried by the wind. Which felt refreshing against his skin. He stood there in the hallway, gazing at the distant trees of the forest. Strangely enough, he thought of running out in this heavy rain shower and seek shelter in the woods leaving behind all his troubles. Will he be at peace there, he wondered?
Slow footsteps could be heard coming in his direction. But he was too engaged in his own thoughts to try and figure out who was there.
The footsteps came to a halt near him. Sensing the presence of his beloved, he turned around and smiled. She returned his smile; intertwining her fingers with his.
Hand in hand they walked back to their room.
-
" Can't sleep? " he said gently brushing a strand of your hair. " I am a bit worried..." you admitted.
" You have given your all. The result is not in our hands." He said trying to take some of the stress off your mind and placed a kiss on your temple. "Close your eyes, my dear."
You felt calm under his touch as he began stroking your hair.
He sang an old lullaby, from the peaceful days. The lyrics, telling the tale of a forgotten time somewhere in a remote valley hidden by the great walls of a mountain range. His voice gently guiding you; where you may rest in a peaceful slumber until the sun rises again.

Tauxolouve ♐️ - The Letter
A/N: Finally posting another fluffbruary story. 😭🤧 Hopefully it turned out alright.
For fluffbruary event - ( @fluffbruary )
Prompts : euphoria | cloudy | sophisticated
14th September, 2024
~~~
Your opened the envelope as quickly as you could without damaging the contents inside. Unfolding the letter, you started reading.
Written in bold and crisp hand writing the letter started with a question "My dear, how are you?" The corners of your lips curled up as soon as you saw that. The letter informed you in details about the journey and about the achievements. You felt the overwhelming sensation of pride and joy, grew within your heart.
Eyes glued to the paper, your heart beat quickened. You took in fast, shallow breaths as you read the words- "I shall be returning next month, on 7th Monday."
You stopped reading and took a deep long breath, closing your eyes as you exhaled. It seemed all the tension from your shoulders had been gently lifted.
Then onwards, you read a bit slow, relishing every word that has been so loving shared on that paper.
After carefully folding the letter, you brought it against your lips and softly yet quickly kissed it before putting it back inside the envelope. You picked up the photos slowly, making sure not to accidentally scratch them.
He and his teammates, looked so happy smiling at the camera. Your eyes lingered on his smile, for a brief moment.
The other photo was taken in a library, you assumed as there were massive shelves, all filled with different types of books. He held an open book, eyes focused on its pages. He wasn't looking directly at camera. Perhaps one of his friends had taken the photo. You put the photos inside the envelope before putting it inside the box, that you had so lovingly used to store all the letters close to your heart.
A gush of sudden cold wind hit your face as you opened the window. You tucked the strands of loose hair behind your ears and smiled softly, watching the sky turn cloudy and grey.
-
You had been feeling giddy all week; the euphoria rising in your heart. You would have had a difficult time describing your feelings in words if someone would have asked; when Tauxolouve open the door.
The affectionate look in his eyes, his gentle smile which brightened as his eyes look upon yours; it had taken all the restrain in your being not hold him close in a tight hug. He stood there stupefied. Until your father smiled softly and said, "Hello, Mr. ( last name )." He quickly composed himself and politely greeted your parents before inviting you all in the house.
He introduced you to his parents and some of his relatives, who had also been invited along with some close friends of his parents.
Soon conversations began and the snacks were being served. You wished to assist his mother but she firmly refused saying you should relax.
Once the dinner was over and the conversations were reaching their conclusions the guests congratulated Tauxolouve and his parents on their way out.
You two walked back to the front gate to see off his aunt. She gently took your hands in hers and wishpered, " I hope to be invited to the wedding soon." You blushed slightly at her words as a mischievous smile graced her lips.
Once the guests had all left, you two slowly walked back to the living room.
" I agree with you on that, Mr (your father's name)", Tauxolouve father said laughing. You assumed it was one of your dad's famous jokes which he loved to tell. They seemed to be enjoying their conversation as you mother said something next, which made them all giggle in delight. Not wanting to interrupt, you two quickly wished them all and left to rest for the night.
-
Changing into something more comfortable you sat on the bed waiting for Tauxolouve. The door opened and Tauxolouve walked in wearing loose clothes. His hair was slightly wet. Few droplets of water dripped down from his neck length hair onto his shirt.
He sat beside you and brought his arms around you and gently hugged you. "I missed you, my love," he said before placing a kiss on your forehead.
You looked up and softly touched his cheeks before bringing his face closer to yours for a kiss. He eagerly kissed your back, savouring the feeling of your lips against his.
You weren't sure where to start, what to ask first. There was so much you wanted to tell him, so much has happened in the past 3 years, so much you wanted to learn from him, so much you wanted him to share with you.
Sensing the conflict in your heart he gently held your hand, " We have time ahead of ourselves, love. Let us rest for now." He smiled at you, awaiting your decision. You nodded in agreement and returned his smile.
You were lying on your sides facing each other. His heart felt light as he spoke. He told you about his work in the university and a bit more about the research and the culture of that foreign land. You were immersed in the conversation and asked a few questions here and there, which he gladly answered.
"Feeling sleepy, my love?" You asked as he struggled to keep his eyes open after some time. "A little bit" he said sheepishly.
"You should sleep. We can continue this conversation tomorrow."
He laid on his back, in a more comfortable position. You started running your fingers through his hair, gently stroking his scalp. A relaxed smiled appeared on his face as he slowly closed his eyes.
I want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for your kind words of encouragement. 😊
Thank you so much! @fateinthestars and @ithildin15 💝💖💝😊

9th February, 2024
~~~
The rain poured down from the sky, like water flowing down from waterfalls. Not a single soul could be seen outdoors.
Leaning against the wall a man stood with a pen and some papers in his hands. His gaze was focused at the sight of the falling rain.
What was he thinking, Leon wondered? Placing his hand on Karno's should he asked, "What's on your mind?"
Karno stood motionless, as if only his physical form was present there; his mind was elsewhere. Leon tapped on his shoulder.
Karno finally replied,"I have been thinking about her...a lot." His honest answer brought a smile on Leon's lips.
"Why don't you tell her, how you feel?" Leon suggested.
"I will." Karno replied nodding his head in agreement. "But first i need to grant the wishes on these lists."
Leon knew how serious Karno was about his responsibilities since childhood. So Karno's answer brought a delightful smile on his face. He softly patted Karno on his back and said, "Well of course."
-
Karno sighed as the last wish on his list disappeared after being granted. As if reading the change in his mood, the images on the reflecting pool shifted; and showed you, walking down the road in a rural area.
Karno snapped his fingers.
Untouched by the rainstorm, this land was dry. The Sun shore brightly, bringing warmth to one's soul as they walked by. Green fields filled one's vision as far as the eyes can see.
An enormous house stood on the right side of the road. It's large glass windows reflecting the sunlight.
Standing there Karno pondered whether he should go inside or not. He still had the chance to leave after all, didn't he? Not a single soul would know that he came here.
"Karno?!" a delicately, soothing voice brought him out of his thoughts. You walked upto him.
A lighthearted smile graced on your lips, "Why are you standing outside?" you asked. Before Karno could reply you took his hand in yours; leading him inside the house.
"Make yourself comfortable." you said. As you were walking to the kitchen,"I will bring some tea and snacks."
The delightful aroma spread across the room as you walked in. Two cups of tea and some cookies on one plate and some chips on the other were on the tray; which you kept on the table.
You sat next to him on the sofa. "I hope you like our special tea." you said.
His face lit up as he took the first sip. "Thank you for the tea." A thankful smile adorned his face.
"Is there something you wanted to tell me?" you asked. There was a strange feeling in your heart. A combination of hope, fear and excitement. Whatever he was about to say is extremely important, you thought.
"I wanted to tell you about my feelings." He peered at you, carefully noticing, each and every expression that crossed face. His intention was to share his feelings, not to scare you or to make you uncomfortable.
Kneeling in front of you, he snapped his fingers. A vibrant rose, blue in colour appeared in his hand. " (Name), i love you." His gaze locking into yours.
"Don't feel pressured to accept my feelings. Do what your heart tells you." he said as the reassuring smiled appeared on his lips. The stars glowing brighter in those warm, gentle eyes.
Kneeling down infront of him, you wrapped your arms around his shoulder and hugged him. "I love you too." you said as you accepted the rose; putting it in your braid.
" How do i look, sweetheart?" you asked in a flirtatious tone. "Breathtakingly gorgeous." he replied earnestly as he softly kissed you.
