"Fuxi, you'd be doing me a solid if you could arrange me and (y/n)'s marriage." Fuxi jumped out of his skin at the request, nearly knocking over the stacks of papers that littered his desk. "S-say again...?"
"Me and (y/n) would like to get married but keep it a private affair! I don't want mom or dad knowing about this." Fuxi looked at Nuwa for the hottest second, gathering his thoughts. "(y/n)? From the (l/n) family? The people who serve us and live off of our money???" Nuwa eagerly nodded as Fuxi pinched the bridge of his nose, "The (l/n) family don't have any status to benefit the fang clan, Nuwa. Mother wouldn't be pleased with such a baseless request." He let out a sigh, "I know that's why I'm asking for you to arrange it privately."
"It'll be very hard to arrange something like this and keep it private. Someone is going to figure it out, especially when you'll be inevitably betrothed to someone with more worth." Nuwa looked a little annoyed but gets where he's coming from, "I know and I'd rather cross that bridge when I get there." Fuxi looked at her again, "You should think of this now. The consequences that could befall you and (y/n) would be aggreges. They could be sentenced to death for something like this."
"They know that, and they still want to be with me, and I want to be with them." Fuxi removed his hands from his face as he took a deep breath, "...Will this make you happy? Having to live on thin ice until inevitably you'll be found out or be betrothed to someone else?"
He clenched his fist, "I'm sorry Nuwa but, I won't let you jeopardize your safety for something as nonsensical as 'love'." With that, Fuxi turned his back to Nuwa and continued his work, biting his lip harshly. He hated declining any request his sister would give him; however, this isn't something he think he could sweep under the rug like the other things his sister has asked for. Nuwa would've kept persisting however, she knew, her brothers' words were final.

"You're all dismissed, except you, (y/n)." Fuxi stood in the doorway as the other servants rushed out of the dining hall, leaving Fuxi and (y/n) alone. (y/n) kneeled to Fuxi as he made his way towards them. "Rise." and (y/n) did accordingly, keeping their head down. "I won't beat around the bush, you and Nuwa, how long has this been going on?" (y/n) froze, seeing as Fuxi knew, "three years, your majesty."
"Three years..." Fuxi had to digest such a thing. For the past three years, Nuwa hasn't acted suspiciously at all. She was as normal as every other day and to think she was being courted by a servant during that time. "Listen to me (y/n), I admire both of your abilities to feign ignorance for the past three years however, it'll only be a matter of time before one of you slip up and it'll cost you your life." Fuxi crossed his hands behind his back, "I want you to look at me."
Hesitantly, (y/n) did as she said. Meeting eye to eye with a noble was intimidating, especially given the circumstances. "I cannot allow you or Nuwa to go through with it. I cannot sabotage her safety. I can't allow her to marry someone who doesn't have a single yuan to their name. The class difference between the two of you is like the heavens and the earth...could you fathom watching her be betrothed to someone else? I hope you can understand my decision." (y/n) lowered their head a bit, looking disheartened, "I understand your majesty. "
"I'm glad you understand, I'd hate for you to lose your life or be exiled for such an action. I won't speak of this to anyone, and I need you to break it off."

"Don't listen to him, dearest. We don't have to be married to continue being together."
"I know but I don't want to tarnish your family name or have you lose what freedom you have left." Nuwa rolled her eyes, "Oh come on, we've done this for years now, we can continue...does this have to do with Fuxi? I get he's your higher classman, but I am too, and I'll command you to stay with me if I have to."
(y/n) bit their lip, avoiding eye contact with Nuwa. "Fuxi knows now, and he'll definitely keep a close eye on the both of us now. I don't want for you to get in trouble again." Nuwa let out an aggravated groan, "(y/n), we don't have to worry about that now. It's just me and you, as it's always been! Don't let what anyone says deter you from this! I surely won't. I still want to be with you." (y/n) fought off a blush as they made eye contact with Nuwa as she threw a smile their way, clinging to their arm.
"I understand if you're scared...to be honest with you, I am a little scared too."
"You are...?" Nuwa laughed, "Of course, I'd hate to disappoint my brother, but I don't want to leave you either." (y/n) looked off into the distance, "If I go along with Fuxi, I'd be disobeying you. If I go along with you, I'd be disobeying Fuxi." Nuwa tilted her head, "What would you like to do?" (y/n) shook their gently, "I want to be with you but-" "Over the years, even back when we were kids, you always kept your head down and followed instructions. Never questioning the order and doing so with efficiently. I always found your obedience detestable as I do now." Nuwa gave a small sigh, "Just this once, please, just do what you want. Don't let anyone guide your judgement, at least for this one time."
"I do want to be with you. I just can't live with myself if this somehow ruins your life." Nuwa gave a low chuckle, "Perhaps it will but this will be worth it."
Nuwa raised herself onto her mangled feet, stumbling a bit, "Who needs fancy official papers anyways?! We can just declare our love now!" (y/n) carefully got Nuwa to get back on her pillow, not before she took their hand in hers, giving them a big smile, "How about it? We give our vows to each other now?"
"Whah!?"
"I'll start! I, Nuwa Feng, will have the renowned savior of Solarian kind, Lear be my witness this night. Under the new sun and moon, I shall deem myself your wife. Within the infinite Tao and the comforting embrace of the primordial roots, my love shall never fade, shall never waver within faith."
Nuwa looked towards (y/n) before closing her eyes...waiting for (y/n) to say their vows as well. (y/n) looked at her for the hottest second, not sure if they should go along with it. They want nothing more than to be with her, even as kids, they pined for her affections and yet they found themself hesitating when presented with such an opportunity to be with her, even within the great Tao...They think Nuwa is too patient to be dealing with someone so hesitant and yet they love that about her. Well, she was never the most patient person, but she tried...every other crimson moon.
...Even if the idea of marriage was soley hers, they were never opposed to it, they even found it endearing how she was willing to go that for with them. Nuwa making the decisions for (y/n) was something they both liked and disliked. As they looked at her relaxed face, adorned with that radiant smile even the moon can't imitate, (y/n) knew what they wanted to do even knowing the consequences of doing so. Throwing away any semblance of common sense-
"I, (y/n) (l/n), will have the renowned savior of Solarian kind, Lear be my witness this night. Under the new sun and moon, I will be graced to be your wife/husband/spouse. Within the infinite Tao and the comforting embrace of the primordial roots, my affections shall never fade, shall never be fake within faith."
(y/n) closed their eyes as well and leaned forward, knowing how this is supposed to go, Nuwa was doing the same. Trusting that they wouldn't just faceplant each other, they took it slow before their lips met in a light kiss.
After a few moments, Nuwa swiftly pulled away and cheered to herself, "Yippe! We're united in heart and spirit! All that's left is connecting through bodily means!" Nuwa threw a suggestive look towards (y/n) to which they blushed heavily.
"We probably can't consummate in my chambers as my brother sleeps next door. So, we'll go to yours!"
...Oh sweet Lear, please have mercy on (y/n) this perfect night.
