Happy birthday to my best boy, Hendery. Thank you for always lighting up our day even during the hardest times. You're literally the most stunning man I've ever seen and I could never ask for more. ily!
It's dark, and you can’t see a thing. But that didn’t stop your imaginations from running wild. Being in the darkness meant that your other senses were heightened and you could hear everything clearly. With your heightened sense of hearing, your imaginations formed much clearer pictures in your mind. Was this a coincidence, or the awakening of a new undiscovered power of imagination?
You could hear his heavy footsteps as he entered the room. He shed his outer coat, the medals clinking as he put it aside and unbuttoned his shirt. In the dark, you could only use your vivid imagination to picture what it would’ve been like with the lights on, or at least the curtain drawn to let the moonlight in.
You pictured his huge rough hands unbuttoning the buttons of his white shirt, exposing his highly seductive collarbones. The sweat that would drip onto his pale and soft skin, glistening and reflecting the light. His hands rolling up his sleeves as he combed his fingers through his hair and let out a sigh. Your back was turned against him, but your imagination made up for everything you were missing because of the darkness.
“You’re awake,” his voice like honey melted your insides. He was right beside your ear, whispering sweet nothings into your-
“Eh? You knew I was awake?” your imagination was cut short as you sat up in the bed.
“Are you not cold?” he asked, pulling the sheets over your exposed shoulders.
“I was waiting for you, but you took so long. And you know I can’t sleep without you.” His Majesty was the cure to your insomnia. Although neither of you knew or understood the reason why, he agreed to put you to sleep every night. You were engaged to be married anyway, and had spent countless nights in his bedroom when you helped him with the affairs of the palace after his coronation.
“Wait, won’t Eden go crazy if he finds out that we’re sleeping in the same bed again?” you remembered how his aide had reacted the past few times he found you in the same bed.
He would walk in with the same look of panic, followed by opening the door and looking around to check that no one had seen both of you, and then checking the room to make sure that no one was spying on you. Last but not least, a long rant which ended in both of you falling asleep in each other’s arms again.
Although you were engaged, it wasn’t right for an unmarried couple to be asleep in the same bed. The King and his future queen, especially. Sicheng couldn’t care less about what was expected of a man and woman since he had been isolated in the palace since he was young. Meanwhile, you only thought of him as an innocent young man who knew nothing of the world because of his isolation. Your thoughts were slightly less innocent though, because of all the romance novels you had accidentally memorized.
He took his shirt off and climbed into bed with you.
“Sleep,” he was about to pull you into his arms, “Ah, wait. I haven’t taken a bath yet.”
“No need, you smell nice.” you wrapped your arms around his bare torso, your fingers felt cool against his warm body.
“Y/N.. Let me take a bath first.” he got off the bed.
“I’m going with you!” Sicheng opened the door and light spilled in. You could see his face now, and he looked very tired. A warm bath followed by a massage would do him good. Then that means you have no choice but to help him. Your bare feet sunk into the warm carpet as you got off the bed. Sicheng took another look at you and he noticed the thin clothing you wore.
“If you follow me like that, Eden will really scream at us.” you tilted your head and looked up at him. As if he could read your mind, a smirk formed on his lips.
He’ll scream at us either way, so let’s make the most trouble we can. Was what you thought he was thinking.
Sicheng picked up the black outer coat off the floor and dusted it off. He put the coat around you and pulled you close. He leaned in close to you, his minty breath fanning your forehead as he placed a kiss on your forehead.
“S-Sicheng?” your eyes were shaking and your breathing erratic, “W-What was that for?”
It was the first time he had kissed you. He was usually on the receiving end, being showered with kisses and love by you, but this was the first time that you received a kiss from him. Your heart went crazy and your cheeks were flushed.
“Stay here, I’ll be quick.” he left the room, shutting the door behind him.
You waited for him, and rolled about on the huge bed. After a not very long while, you were getting impatient, so you carefully opened the door and tiptoed to the bathroom.
“Sicheng?” he opened the bathroom door and you fell on your bum. As soon as the cold marble tiles hit your bum, you jumped up.
“Eek! It’s cold!” he sighed, running his fingers through his wet hair. You glanced up at him and realized that he had nothing but a bath towel around his waist. His perfect body was on full display in the light and you drank in he sight of his perfectly toned muscles.
“Are you done looking?” your eyes met his. He had a playful smirk on his face, as if he knew what you were thinking.
“Were you looking at my arm muscles, or my abs? Because I don’t think you were looking at my face.” your cheeks and ears turned red, “Or were you wondering what it would look like.. under here?” he teased, his hands going to the hem of his bath towel.
“Ack! Nope!” You turned away, covering your eyes, then turned back to look at him, “Wait, Dong Sicheng, where did you learn to tease me like that? Who taught you that?” He shook his head, a playful smile on his face. You tiptoed and held his face, making him look into your eyes and he did, but you were the one growing more flustered as the beautiful being standing in front of you gazed into your eyes.
He pointed at the sofa, where you had left your novel.
“You read my novel?” he walked into the closet.
“I was just curious to see what you liked to read.” he had a smile on his face. The male lead in your novel.. He did everything the male lead did. Was this what his partner felt like? You placed a palm on your rapidly beating heart to calm it down.
“Ah, whatever. He’s gonna be my husband anyway!” you followed after him.
