‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ The Days at Misaki Café☽༓*˚⁺‧͙　

You were returning after a long day at the Bodmer Library, a little away from your home in Geneva, but you loved going there on weekends. It was just 8 pm, not too late, and you were craving caramel macchiato. So you decided to stop by at the Café near your home. The Misaki Café. You went there almost daily. It was nestled in the quiter part of Geneva, from where one could easily see the Swiss Alps. But that wasn't the only reason you loved it.

There was a certain barista, with blue eyes, snowy hair and a soft smile, who made your coffee just perfect and your heart flutter..

As you entered, the bell chimed softly. The cozy Café was quiet as usual, filled with the delicious scent of coffee and baked goodies

"Welcome- oh, it's you~" Satoru smiled softly, pushing his glasses upwards, putting down his aerospace engineering textbook. "Your usual caramel macchiato?"

"Yeah~" You smiled back, looking at his textbook, scribbled with notes. He was studying particle accelerators.. "Particle accelerators huh? Studying for exam?"

"Yeah, I've got one tomorrow. They're driving me insane. I hardly understand a thing about them.." He said while pouring the coffee in milk.

"I can help you if you'd like.." You offered him as he handed you the cup, looking genuinely relieved at your offer.

"Oh my god, you're godsent! My brain was fried trying to understand them" He immediately removed his apron, handing you the book as you both sat at the window-side table.

"Mhm, I see.. Nothing difficult, you will be an expert at it before midnight" And that was true, by midnight he had mastered the topic with your help in just 4 hours..

"Damn! That's actually crazy! How do you know so much about them though? I know you're doing PhD in astrophysics, but aerospace engineering is a totally different branch.." He closed his textbook, genuinely curious about your in depth understanding about a field not so related to yours. He knew about your field since you were a usual, and you both have small talks about random stuff everyday.

"Well, I have been working a lot with them.. I'm working at CERN on serenium. Trying to further expand my research on it.. It's kinda hard to manage a whole startup, research and get my phd done, but i just gotta manage it.." You said it so casually, as if you weren't that infamous mysterious scientist who just discovered the only particle to react with antimatter without causing an explosion and made all the scientists in the world go crazy. His jaw dropped at your matter-of-factly tone. Not ego, just a statement because you did it.

"Wait- waitwaitwait- THAT'S YOU!? and- oh my god- you're the one? The mysterious scientist?" His jaw dropped, looking flabbergasted at the fact that you weren't just a scientist but also a businesswoman? At such a young age? That made him admire you even more

"You cannot just leave me hanging like that! Pleasepleaseplease tell me about it, why you kept it a secret, what is this startup you just talked about, and where are you getting your PhD from.." Satoru gave you those pleading puppy eyes, well because just like you, he had that curiousity gene too. Every scientist does.

You laughed softly at his infectious excitement.. "Okay okay, I'll tell you. Just promise me you won't tell anyone else."

"I promise!" His eyes we're sparkling so much, as if he'd worship you any moment.

"Good~ okay, so first about keeping my identity secretive. I just really like the peace of doing something I love without the world constantly coming in between. Yes they know my name, but as long as they don't know my face or anything more about me, I'll have my peace of doing something I love. Second, the startup is IdeaGlobal, a website where students with research ideas can connect with professors from big universities accross the world to carry an authentic research as well as get credits for it. I did it because I had a hard time trying to find a professor to work with me on my research myself. Third, I'm doing the MIST programme of MIT and doing my PhD abroad from here because to be honest, not only is CERN amazing for my research, but also because I love the Swiss Alps.."

By the time you har finished, Satoru was looking at you ad if you'd hung the moon and stars, as if you were his hero and idol. The admiration was shining thoroughly in his eyes. You were just 2 years older than him. Just 25,yet you had achieved so many things..

"You're- you're insane.. Do you realize you fucking cool you are?" He asked with that wide boyish grin. "I never knew the beautiful girl coming everyday is a great sci-" He stopped, realizing he slipped up and called you beautiful.. "O-oh w-wait- I'm s-sorry.. Just a slip up!" He chuckled nervously "I mean yeah you're beautiful but I didn't mean to-" He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, blushing head to toe

"No need to be shy now~ if anything, I'm rather flattered by the compliment.. It's not always someone really admires me for both my brains and beauty~" Your smile made him calm down a little..

"Hey, I was thinking.. Maybe, we can talk about space and stuff again.. Maybe- this weekend? I'd love to know more about your work, and you.." Satoru asked softly, hoping you'd agree..

"Of course~ let's meet this weekend.. Right here, at 8 pm.."

Satoru dropped you back home because it was 2 am by then. And the next day, his exam went pretty well, though he kept thinking about you. Admiring your success and your humility. How you wanted to do something because you loved it, not for the world to see..

.

.

That weekend on Sunday, you both met again at the Misaki Cafe. He told you that he was Japanese, living here with his aunt and cousin Yu Haibara. His aunt owned the cafe, and let him stay in exchange for working here since she was getting older, Yu was still in high school and the previous barista quit because she got married.

You too told him how growing up you were always expected to be the grown up, the one who handled your parents' pressure, looked after your younger sister, and were basically the man of the house, and that thing helped you to work under pressure and handle even the shittiest situations with calm.

And soon, that one weekend turned to every other weekend. And every other weeked turned to everyday. You'd come daily at 8 pm, when there was no rush and the cafe would close within half an hour. He'd brew caramel macchiato for both of you, then sitting by your usual window-side table, you both would talk about so many things. He'd tell you how he was obsessed with rockets as a child, you'd tell him how you could never fall asleep without seeing stars. You both even discussed about serenium, working on it together sometimes. You'd show him the heartfelt thank you emails you'd get from students who got accepted to big universities and Ivy Leagues through your website, and he'd tell you about the little kids who would come to buy sweets, and about the cool machines he was working with and learning how to actually build rockets.

And before you both realized it, it had me 8 months of this routine. He was going to finish his masters, and you were also going to get your doctorate after 2 months.

.

.

One day, you were left stranded outside the Bodmer library, it had closed and besides it was raining heavily. You were cursing your fate. It was 11 pm, with no vehicle in site and your phone had just 5% battery.

"God dammit.. " You cursed under your breath, rubbing your hands together because you were cold.. Just as you were about to lose hope and walk all the way back in rain, you felt a familiar voice say your name softly and warmly..

"What are you doing here..?" Satoru asked, approaching you, holding a bag full of baking stuff

"Toru.." You whispered his name, hugging him and melting in his arms, relieved that he was here, always finding you at your worst, always being that warm comforting presence you craved..

"Looks like you missed me~" He chuckled softly, pulling you closer in that umbrella.. "Got stranded I see.. Let me walk you back, maybe give you some warm caramel macchiato to remove the chill.."

You both started to walk towards Misaki Cafe, a comfortable silence falling between you two. He took a glance at you, then another, this time it was lingering. He noticed you your wet hair clung to your face, cheeks red with cold, a small water droplet astray on your lower lip.

That sight maddened him, and before his rational brain could think, he had already pulled you in a searing kiss, the umbrella forgotten on the sidewalk because he had pulled you closer by the waist, kissing you softly yet passionately, because after all he'd been waiting a lot for it. For your taste, to feel your lips on his, to just kiss you and keep on kissing you..

After a long kiss, you both pulled back, flushed, panting and breathless. Then after a momentary silence of both your brains just processing what happened,you both got extremely shy.

He awkwardly picked up the umbrella and the bag. "W-we are a-almost there.." He said avoiding your gaze..

"Y-yeah.. Um.. Let's go.." You could see the cafe down the road. Thankful that the distance wasn't too much. As you both entered, he started to arranged the supplies in the cabinets below the counter. Just then you spotted Haibara, finishing his assignment, and heard his aunt coming down stairs

"Oh, you're back- wait.. Is that your girlfriend!?" Haibara immediately stood up, greeting you politely, asking you a thousand questions already assuming you both are dating and not even letting you answer because he got super excited

Just then, his aunt entered from the door that connected the cafe to their apartment above..

"Oh, toru..? Is this beautiful girl your girlfriend..? Oh she's so nice~ what a great choice!" Both his aunt, and his cousin were already raving about you two while you both just stood there, mind still reeling from that kiss, and now this..

"Listen you two,we.. We're not dating.." Satory finally said, blushing like crazy

"Oh.. I'm sorry I should have asked.." His aunt immediately apologized, feeling guilty about making you both uncomfortable

"Aww, well you both should date. See mom? The way they're blushing~" Haibara teased, only for his mother, Satoru's aunt to shut him with that infamous mom glare.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry. Satoru has been talking about you nonstop. I figured you both were dating. When I saw you today, i was genuinely happy, maybe you can come again this weekend like always. I'd love to teach you how to bake Japanese sweets! I know, from all his praising, that you're a very hard working and humble woman.." His aunt smiled softly. Satoru was looking like he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it. You weren't supposed to know how much he speaks about you.. To his utter gratefulness, you focused on the sweets part and agreed.

Not only because hia aunt was such a sweet lady but also beautiful you wanted to learn more about his culture and the tradition sweets..

.

.

That weeked, when the cafe was closed that Saturday, you showed up. Satoru was already there with his aunt and Yu was on his football practice. His aunt taught you how to make mochis, then after making a batch left to pick up haibara, leaving you and Satoru alone. You both hadn't talked since that kiss..

"So.. I guess we're alone now... I can help you make the next batch.." Satory said breaking the silence

"Oh um.. Sure.." It was awkward at first.. But then when he accidentally smeared a bit of bean paste on your cheek, you smeared a flour on him. And then, looking at how absurdly stupid you both burst out laughing.. Until he gently wiped off the bean paste, looking at you lovingly..

"You're beautiful when you're carefree like that~" Satoru noticed you getting shy and biting your lower lip.. "Someone is shy I see.." He tilted your head upwards

"Says the one who nearly burst with embarrassment after his aunt revealed he talks so much about me.." You teased back..

Satoru pulled you closer, your hands instinctively finding purchase on his shoulder

"Oh yeah? Teasing me now..? Let's see then, who wins.." He whispered huskily, his breath warm against your lips..

Your faces were inches apart, lips nearly brushing. Until you heard someone gasp audibly from the entrance.

His aunt had her hand clasped over her mouth, haibara was giggling

"Told you mom, they are dating!"

.

.

Two months later, you both graduated with honors. Him in his masters in Aerospace engineering,and you getting your doctorate in Astrophysics. Satoru confessed to you on the evening of the baking day, after getting a break from the playful teasing of his aunt and haibara, as you both were eating mochis in his bedroom, cuddling on the bed.

You both bought a house in Geneva a few more months, near the Misaki Cafe. Haibara had also graduated high school, now looking after the cafe with another barista they hired.

A year later, two years after that tutoring night, you both were snuggled up on the big bean bag in your balcony, facing the Alps, a lake in front of it at a distance, just stargazing.. When he gently held your hand. You intertwined your fingers with his, until you suddenly felt a cold metal slip into your ring finger. You immediately looked down, seeing a beautiful diamond ring shining under the moonlight.. You eyes filled with tears of pure love and extreme happiness as you heard him say those words

"Marry me, my little genius.. I know this isn't the fanciest proposal. But knowing you, I knew you'd love something intimate, under the very stars we both love.. Promise me, you will be my forever..?" He gently cupped your face, wiping away the tears falling down

"T-toru.. " You sobbed in his arms, whispering yes over and over again because your heart was so full of love that it started to overflow through your eyes. He held you close to his chest, rubbing your back his own tears threatening to fall..

"My beautiful wife to be, my Mrs. Gojo~" He kissed your forehead lovingly..

.

.

The wedding was beautiful. Intimate and cozy, with just family and friends in the backdrop of the Alps. You both purposely chose evening time for your wedding, because after every one had left, it was just you two. The stars were visible in the twilight glow, as he set the camera, pulling you close. You both moved the rythm of a silent tune, the voice of the nature at night. And that moment was better than any music. Just you both in each other's arms, having the last dance of the day and the first dance of the beginning of a new life together. That's why you chose evening, because you both would get to dance under the stars after everyone had left and record it to see it again.. At last, he pulled you in a sweet kiss..

.

.

10 yrs later..

You had finally officially added serenium to the periodic table, now having your own big team of top educators from big universities, and helping students globally for research programs, expanding IdeaGlobal. You and Satoru both worked in it together, and later did your own research on dark matter in the laboratory you both built outside your house in your big yard.

You both still live in that same house. Now with two more people, your sons. Megumi who is 8 and Yuuji who is 6.

Haibara is married to, with 5 more cafes accross Geneva

"Mama, you found the right man.. Papa is the best guy in the world~ I hope I find a girl like you too, who will support me and love me always.." Little megumi said while watching that dance video tape he found in your bedside table, connecting it to the TV.

Little yuuji bounced on the sofa excitedly. "Mama and Papa are shoooo cute!!"

You admired your sons fondly, remembering that beautiful night.

Just then, your husband, Satoru entered with two hot cups of caramel macchiato and two cups of hot chocolate. Still made your coffee daily just the way you like it.

"Hey now, calm down yuuji, hold the cup carefully hm?" He handed the two hot chocolate cups to the boys, while handing the coffee to you, kissing your lips softly, before you all settled on the couch and watched iron man for the nth time because yuuji loved it..

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾‧͙Summer Holidays, First Love❤☽༓･*˚⁺

The whole crew, Shoko, Utahime, Suguru, Satoru, Nanami, and you were sitting in Shoko and Utahime's dorm, planning your summer holiday trip

"Maybe beach?" Said Suguru scrolling through a blog about 10 best places to visit during summer.

"Nahh, we already went there last year. Maybe.. Maybe something like.. Mountains, hill stations?" Suggested Shoko, taking a puff of her cig.

"Shookoo! Stop smoking for God's sake!" Utahime took the cig, and smashed the burning end on the ash tray. "Anyways, sounds good but where? "

"Somewhere quiet and peaceful but lively.. " Nanami said, who was lounging on the lower bunk bed.

"What about you Satoru, and you YN? y'all agree? " Geto asked, keeping his phone away, looking expectantly at you two.

"Yeah man, I agree.. As long as she does.. " Satoru looked at you when you said that, smirking as he saw you blush

"Oh um- yeah! Totally!" You changed the topic quickly " I was thinking if we could go to Manali. It's near my hometown, maybe we can even meet my family! It's quiet, beautiful and perfect!"

"Girl- we totally should! Yeah utahime? " Shoko was suddenly excited, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she nudged Utahime. She was definitely planning something.

"Totally.. " Utahime smirked. And the other men (except toru) understood..

.

.

.

"Here we areeee!!! " Shoko and Utahime were bouncing with excitement as they stepped out of the airport. The crisp mountain air refreshing everyone from the weariness of travel.

"Damn girl, it's beautiful!" Shoko said to you, while the others were busy admiring the beautiful landscape of Manali with awe.

"So who is going to drive to that cabin?" "Nanami should.. " Geto and utahime looked at nanami, who had already facepalmed himself and let out a long sigh.

As you all sat in the car, they made sure to put you and Satoru side by side.

"So, um, tell me more about your hometown" Satoru asked you to break the silence

"Oh I'd be glad~!" The whole ride, he listened, actually listened to you explain the pahadi culture, foods, languages, your childhood in the mountains, and him doing that gave you butterflies. Because he listened like he wanted to know and learn genuinely, not just to pass the time.

At last you reached your cabin, which was in a beautiful setting amidts the mountains, which even gave a beautiful glimpse of the Bhrigu lake.

Shoko and Utahime shared a room, Nanami and Geto the other. And you and Satoru were supposed to share one room, and one bed.

After dinner, you both were awkwardly standing in the room, debating over who will take the bed and who will sleep on the floor.

"Hey, look, I respect women a lot and there's no way I'm letting you sleep on the floor." Satoru crossed his arms standing in that sassy posture (like the bbgurl he is)

"Toru, I really appreciate that but I don't want you to sleep down there. Hilly areas are already cold and your back will hurt. Maybe we should share the bed. You on that edge and I'll be on this edge. We can even put pillows in between" You suggested, hoping he doesn't take the meaning weirdly

"U-uh.. O-okay.. Sounds good.. " He was blushing furiously, and slipped under covers, backfacing you. You both slept on the edges, pillows stacked between you. But the night was cold and blankets weren't enough, so, you both, half asleep kicked the pillows, he pulled you closer, you buried your face in his chest, arms wrapped around each other and he tucked your face under his chin. That was finally warm and cozy. So much that you both fell asleep in a deep slumber and the next morning, Shoko and Geto even took your cute pics before you woke up

"Oh it's gonna be fun when we show it to them! " Shoko and Geto had that evil smirk while showing it to nanami and utahime.

Meanwhile, you woke up and found yourself unable to move. And suddenly you became acutely aware of two strong arms wrapped protectively around you, and that sweet scent only one person had, because he ate too many sweets. And oh boy, you were so flustered that you accidentally pushed Satoru away but he fell down.

"*groan* what's going on?" He sat up on the floor, looked up at you, who was nervously picking at a loose thread of her hoodie, and immediately realized what you both did that night. His nervously looked away, mentally scolding himself. "G-good morning.. "

"Y-yeah m-morning. I-i- I'll go take a bath.. " You bolted towards the washroom while he sat on the floor

"Goddamn Y/N, what are you doing to me..? "

.

.

.

That day, the plan was city exploration on bikes. So y'all rented bikes for that. Again, your matchmaker friends made you and Satoru share a bike.

"Ready? " He looked at you with that boyish smile that gave you butterflies

"Mhm, ready~" You smiled and wrapped your arms around him from behind, pressing yourself intimately against him.

The air whipped past you two as he revved the bike and was fast with driving. Hearing your melodic carefree laughter did things to him. You all went to visit lakes, temples, shops, eating traditional food, and so much. All the while, he could only look at how beautiful you looked. Yeah, the nature was breathtaking, but his eyes only focus on you as you were plucking wildflowers in front of a tea shop.

"These are so beautiful! I'd choose wildflowers always over rose bouquets" You were so carefree and excited.. It just slipped naturally from his mouth

"My wildflower"

"Huh? You said something? " You looked up at him, giving him a flower

"O-oh nope nothing! " He nervously changed the topic, handing you your tea cup

"My wildflower huh?" Geto teased him while the others were smirking, and you were oblivious, asking shoko and utahime about what happened and they kept giggling.

"Shut up Suguru"

"Aww someone's shyy~" Shoko joined in

"Satoru, just admit it, you're head over heels for her" Nanami took a sip of his tea

"Yeah c'mon we both know you two are in love" Utahime said throwing shoko's cig packet.

"Ugh, fine. I am. But I'll confess to her before the trip ends, just.. Not today."

"Fine, but you better do it before the trip ends" Nanami said before starting his bike, signaling it was time to call it a day.

.

.

.

After dinner, you and satoru were laying on the bed talking, when he suddenly said

"You looked like a lion who just woke up because the wind messed up your hair. "

"What!? You jerk! " You threw a pillow at him and he dodged it, standing up, he threw another pillow at you. And you tried to tackle him down, but you both were giggling so much that instead of you doing that, he fell on top of you on the bed, and your lips almost brushed against each other's.

That was so awkward that without saying a single word, he quietly got up and went to his side of the bed and you went to yours. Both pretending to sleep, but in reality, your hearts were beating wildly against your chest.

.

.

The next and 3rd day of your trip, you all decided to dedicate the entire day for shopping.

Currently you all are in a bangle shop, you were admiring a set of red bangles with intricate design in white

"They're sooo pretty~" You said, you really wanted to buy them, but others were leaving the shop, so you left too.

After that, you shoko and utahime went to a cozy shop selling traditional clothes. They were planning to just try them because they weren't used to wearing desi clothes. Meanwhile you were going to buy a dress for yourself.

Ultimately you ended up choosing a skirt, a kurti and a pattu shawl similar to the bangles. A yellow kurti, white skirt, and a white shawl with red design. You admired yourself for a good 5 minutes in the changing room because the outfit matched perfectly with your single braid hairstyle and oxidized jewelry.

As you stepped out, everyone was complimenting you. But Satoru, he looked at you as if you were a goddess... Then, he slowly stepped near, and handed you the bangles you were admiring..

"Saw you looking at these in that store,thought you'd like it if I gifted them to you.. " He ran a hand through his hair, looking away, avoiding your gaze because he was shy.

"That's... So thoughtful. You.. You heard me say that? That I loved these?" You were smiling shyly, while again utahime was taking candid shots while nanami was pretending he wasn't interested. Shoko and Geto were shamelessly giggling.

"Y-yeah.. By the way, you look.. Beautiful" He said that and walked away so rigidly. He got too flustered..

You decided to wear the dress the whole day, and in the flower shop, he gently put a jasmin gajra (floral hair string) in your braid, whispering against the shell of your ear

"You look extra beautiful with this.." His hands gently squeezed your hips before he stepped back.

And you were left as an adorable blushing mess, because everytime you caught a whiff of the sweet scent of jasmine, you remembered him.

.

.

Since your hometown was just 2 hours away from Manali, you asked your friends if they wanted to come. And of course they said yes because they knew this was the perfect opportunity to tease you and Satoru in front of your family. So y'all packed up, left the cabin, and took the first bus of the day.

During the bus ride, you fell asleep on his shoulder, and he wrapped an arm around you, pulling you snugly against his side.

And just as you reached, your mom and your two siblings (younger than you) immediately started to ask you about Satoru.

You mom was ecstatic, thinking you finally got a boyfriend while your dad was smiling, happy for you. And your siblings were asking the others if you and Satoru were dating. That's when Shoko and Geto showed them the photos they took, and because of that you were teased mercilessly the whole day. Meanwhile Satoru tried to show he was annoyed, but he was enjoying every second of it.

That night, you were sitting in the courtyard, stargazing, when he sat beside you.

"Beautiful right..?" He said, looking at you

"Yeah, the stars are so pretty. " You said with a dazed smile

"I wasn't talking about the stars.. " Satoru said softly while cupping your cheeks..

"T-toru.. " You whispered his name like a prayer, and that was it

He pulled you in a kiss. Soft, gentle, and slowly getting passionate that made your lips feel tingly, your brain go fuzzy, until only his taste lingered.

"Fuck- I love you y/n" His blue eyes, usually cocky grin, had completely shifted to something softer and deeper.. "I waited the whole trip, but not anymore. I'm fucking in love with you. Every moment during this trip was a torture, because I wanted to whisk you away and kiss you senseless. My beautiful wildflower, so untamed yet so shy. All mine. And I'm all yours.."

His words, spoken with such devotion made your knees go weak "toru, I love you too.. We will come here again, just us.. And then you can kiss me senseless whenever you want to"

"Oh I plan to~" And there it was, that stupid smirk. Not teasing, but definitely full of intent.

With that, he quietly carried you to your bedroom, careful not to wake anyone up. And well, you know what happened~

.

.

Finally it was time to go. That day, you both announced your relationship. You family was so happy, and your friends teased you a lot the whole way back home. After a bittersweet goodbye to your family, you all left for the airport, for your flight back to Tokyo.

.

.

10 years later, you're both 28. Life wasn't easy, but you had each other. Got married, and were in Manali again, just like you both had promised each other

"Remember when you said you wanted to kiss me senseless that day? " You teased Satoru, who was hugging you from behind, standing in the balcony enjoying the cool breeze

"I remember, my darling wife~ and that's exactly what I'm going to do now"

With that, he pulled you in a deep kiss, and in that moment you both knew that those summer holidays gave you both your forever..

(A/N:Hi! I'm new here and this is my first fanfic! English isn't my first language so kindly ignore my mistakes. I hope you enjoy<3)

♡NO LONGER ALONE IN THE DEEP♡

{Navegea Polaris, a festival celebrated with much enthusiasm in the Polaris kingdom. Legend has it that on this day, the kingdom of Polaris and the Navagea Realm are joined, allowing the beings from the other world to enter the mortal world. On this day, the girls tell mythical stories about the Navagean beings and the men are supposed to cook a hearty meal for the whole family. Those who wish to seek guidance go to the woods, searching for the wise Navageans, seeking guidance.}

Gojo Satoru, the crown prince of the Polaris Kingdom, was wandering in the woods with his best friend, the son of one of the courtiers, Geto Suguru..

"Man, I really hate this. She cheated on me and I'm the one who is sent to seek guidance when it's not even my fault! Do you really think they want me to rule alongside Alina!? A woman cheating on me with my own bodyguard!?" Gojo was ranting about his fiance Alina, the princess of the neighbouring kingdom Alvyan. He'd just caught her cheating on him with his own bodyguard. Infuriated he called off the wedding, only to be forced by his elders to 'work things out' and 'seek guidance'. And yeah, that's why he's angry, venting to Suguru..

"Your Majesty, do not worry. We shall certainly find a wise Navagean who will help us out." Suguru said "though, I'm trying to find a rather beautiful girl. Navagean or from Polaris. I'm sure I can-"

"Cut the crap, Suguru. You know you don't have to call me Your Majesty when we're alone and second I don't want to hear you talk about girls. "

Gojo was frustrated, then went on ranting about how his elders were pressuring him to marry Alina, to be diplomatic, and how he didn't love her, especially after finding out she'd cheated. So engrossed, that he barely noticed Suguru wandering off somewhere.

"... And I'm tired. Do you think I should just call off the marriage and not care about the political alliance?... Suguru... Are you listening? Sugu- SUGURU!? WHERE ARE YOU!?"

Satoru was running, frantically searching for geto when he suddenly found himself in a clearing. A beautiful lake in front of him.. The Lake Eye.

He spotted Suguru, unconscious but alive and unharmed, laying on the soft grass near the lake. Satoru was about to go near him when he heard a haunting melody.. So beautiful yet so melancholic. He looked in the direction.

In front of him, on a big flat rock between the lake, was sitting a Navagean being. A Siren. You had long thick curls cascaded down your back, shining like a dark waterfall under the moonlight. You weresinging so beautifully that Satoru was completely enraptured.

Then he heard Suguru's whimper and snapping himself out if it asked the mystic siren

"Who are you?"

You stopped, and he immediately missed that beautiful voice.. Just as he was about to ask you about Suguru, you turn around. And you were beautiful..

Your eyes were black, looked empty. But he noticed the hint of sadness in those vast depths that reflected the sea of stars above.

"I'm a siren.." Your voice was calm, as calm the ocean waves..

"And may I ask why is my best friend unconscious?" Satoru asked warily.

"Because you see, he heard the song of one of the sirens in his lake, followed it and was nearly drowned. I saw it and pulled him out before he died.."

"Oh yeah?" Satoru scoffs "how do I believe it's not you, huh? You're the only siren I see here.. Tell me about yourself otherwise I'll make sure you pay the price.."

"Calm down.. I understand you're suspicious.. Very well, I'll tell you my story.." You say softly, turning to face him. That's when he realized you were naked above your deep blue tail, covered by your long hair. He blushed and tried to focus on your words..

"I was a girl from the Polaris kingdom. Bethrothed to a Highlord of the court. I was so happy, knowing that I found love. I was always a hopeless romantic, dreaming of true love, stolen kisses, and the deep abiding loyalty to one person. He was always cold, figured that was his personality. So one day, on his birthday, I decided to gift him a scarf I'd knitten. I went to the palace hoping to gift him. That's when I saw him, with another woman, kissing her, naked. I was crushed. I went home, cried holding thr scarf. I thought maybe I wasn't enough, maybe my heartfelt gift will change his mind. So I went again, this time, I went to his favorite spot. This very lake. Saw him sitting here with her. Saying things that I was just his fiance because my father had helped his father, how I was worthless and meant nothing, and then they badmouthed about my father. That.. That made me lose my control and I drowned them in this lake. After the people found out, they sent me to Navagea for punishment, not caring about the injustice that happened to me. There I was given the punishment of being a siren. Thankfully they were kind enough to grant me a way to break the curse. It's been a century and a half in this lake. My punishment is to protect those who are innocent but are to be drowned by other sirens in this lake to repent for my mistakes. Hence, I saved him, your friend."

Satoru was stunned. He finally let his guard down, sharing his own story, surprisingly similar to yours, asking for your guidance.

"..So yeah, that's what happened to me too.. Please, tell me.. What do I do..?" He asked, almost desperately..

"If I'm being honest, do not marry her. You will never be their priority because you never were."

And just like that you both ended up talking until dawn. About everything and nothing. You told him about the Navagean stories while he told you about the mortal world, trade, stars.

At last it was time for him to go..

"Guess I gotta go. I also need to carry this dork on my back.. " He said with a small smile." Maybe we will meet again if that's fated.. " Then Satoru gently brushes his fingers against your cool skin..

"Before you go.. " You whispered softly "I want to give you something.." With that you dove in and came above with a beautiful blue pearl that shimmered under the soft morning glow. "Keep it safe. Whenever it's bright, just know that I want to meet you.. Promise me you will come..?"

"I promise.. Thank you for this gift.. " With that, Satoru picked up suguru and left, leaving you alone again. But this time you were happy for the first time in decades. Because you knew what it meant..

With that a few weeks went by. Following your advice, he called off the wedding. Yes his elders weren't happy until the King of Alvyan, Alina's dad found out about her illicit affair and supported Satoru in his decision, without severing the relations. Things were going well for him from the outside, but inside he was missing you badly. He couldn't stop thinking about you but was also caught up in regal duties, and completely forgot that the pearl, which he attached in a necklace and was wearing it now, was glowing brightly.

That night, as he was going to bed, he looked down at the faint blue glow reflecting against the mirror and remembered about the pearl, the promise, about your beautiful voice. Satoru realized that the pearl was pulsing brightly, a testament to your desire to meet him. He immediately went to Lake Eye, without telling anyone.

"Where are you..? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I forgot.. I'm here now.. " Satoru said while trying to catch his breath from running so much. Then he sat down, waiting. And a few minutes later, you came out of the water right in front of him.

This time, before you could say anything, he noticed how your eyes, that day, black and empty, were now shining, not just reflecting the stars but as if the stars were within them..

"You're back.. " You said with that soft smile and melodic voice that made his heart flutter wildly

"Yeah, and I'm sorry. I was so caught up. But now I'll come daily.." Satoru gently took your hand in his.

"You don't have to. I know you're busy as the crown Prince and-

He cuts you off by putting his finger on your lips

" No, I know I don't have to. But I want to. I even called off the wedding. Best decision I ever made. I want to thank you for everything." Satoru's blue eyes sparkled as you pulled him in the water, then took him to that rock where you talked. As he got sleepy, he put his head on your shoulder while you sang beautifully that put him in deep peaceful slumber.

And since that day, Satoru would come daily, talk with you, fall asleep in your arms listening to your voice. The people in the palace knew he'd disappear somewhere every night but no one questioned the king to be. He even postponed his coronation until the next Navagea Polaris. No one knew the reason but agreed nonetheless.

And pretty soon, a year went by in a blur of quiet intimate nights, regal duties, and a sweet agony of the wait of the Navagea Polaris.

On the eve of the festival, satoru was again sitting with you on that rock..

"You know, tomorrow is my coronation.. " His thumb rubbing soothing circles on your hand. "And I want to tell you something important.. "

"Mhm, go on toru.. " You looked at him, and he gently cupped your face, taking in the sight of you. Your eyes, deep black and just reflecting stars that day, were now sparkling as if they had a whole universe within them

"Y/N, I postponed my coronation because I wanted it to be on the day of Navagea Polaris. The best day in my life, because I met you, because.. Because.. I'm in love with you. I want you to be my queen, I want to be yours forever, in life, in death and beyond. In every life, in every universe, I want to be yours only yours. Please, tell me you love me too, tell me you will be mine, my queen, my wife, my little star..?" Satoru's voice broke as he called you his little star, heavy with emotions..

"Toru, I knew it the day we first met.. That you're mine, and I'm yours.. " You smiled softly, love shining in your eyes.

"B-but.. H-how? You never told- wait- explain please.. " Satoru asked desperately, because he was confused that how you knew, but didn't tell him..

"The thing is, my toru, that the pearl you're wearing as a necklace, it's not just a pearl. It's my heart. Not literally, but that pearl holds every beautiful emotion like love, hope, happiness, innocence, calm.. Everything that was stolen from me. When I was cursed, as a redemption, this pearl was given to me sealed in an oyster. The oyster would only open when my heart chooses someone who resonates with my pain, sees me as the girl who was hurt and not a siren. That day when we met, I felt it open. That's why I gave it to you. But I couldn't tell because I couldn't break my curse without you saying that you loved me, accepted me, and that you won't break my heart. I was waiting for you for a century and a half. So yeah, I gave you my heart and you healed it without knowing. I love you too Satoru, always have and always will.. "

You gently wiped away his tears. Satoru was crying now, moved so much by the depth of your love, the fact that he had your heart so close to his own.

"My little star.. " With that, he kissed you deeply, feeling as your tail, your features, everything transformed from a siren to that of a human. When Satoru opened his eyes, he was awestruck my your beauty. You were naked, and instead of lust, his eyes shone with love, devotion and reverence.

As your curse broke, every other siren of the Lake Eye was free too. Finally, after a heartfelt goodbye, they left, to live a life they were robbed of.

"My queen, my little star, let's go home. It's almost time for my coronation and yours too.. But I promise we will come here anytime you want. Because this day, this lake, the stars, the two realms, everything here led me to you. "

With one final kiss, Satoru wrapped you up in his coat, scooped you up and took you to the palace.

The coronation was extravagant. The people of the kingdom were extremely happy, and Suguru was continuously teasing Satoru about you.

"Sugu, stop.. I know she's so beautiful but the people cannot see me blushing! " Satoru whisper-yelled to Suguru who was smiling slyly.

"Oh but why not? I heard sounds coming from your chamber before sunrise~"

"Suguru, I swear I'll kill you" Satoru was as flustered as a Strawberry. And on top of that, as you came in, wearing that beautiful blue dress he picked for you, Satoru lost his cool. He could see the faint marks of the love bites he left on you.

"Toru, you're so red~" You teased him as you stood beside him, gently squeezing his hand. "How does it feel to be a king now? "

"Feels scary and exciting. But more than that, I excited for what's coming next. Can't wait to tell them all you're mine~" Satoru's lips brushed against the shell of your ear and he winked as he pulled back and saw the beautiful flush spreading accross your neck and cheeks.

Just then, the former king, Satoru's father, stepped ahead. "My son made the correct choice. Please look after him and the kingdom.." With that you were officially announced as the queen, then took your vows with him at the altar,sealing your union with a soft tender and loving kiss.

All on the day of Navagea Polaris. The day when the stars, the realms and the universe itself watched the eternal union of two souls.
