Marth waited until his wife stirred on her own before sticking his hands behind his back and kissing her forehead. "Good morning, Caeda. Do you know what today is?" He hadn't known, either. But Hibiki had told him about a curious custom in his world to have, essentially TWO Days of Devotion. ...well, and he wasn't going to pass that up, was he? "Happy White Day. I got you something." And he brought his arms to the front to reveal a heart-shaped box containing white chocolates.
you don’t know how marth managed to disentangle himself without waking you up, but being greeted so sweetly is definitely the best way to start your day off! lips curve upwards in a bright – yet still sleepy – smile, and it’s now that you notice your husband has his hands hidden firmly behind his back. … what in the world is he up to?
“i’m guessing thursday isn’t the answer you have in mind,” you laugh, leaning in to softly peck his lips. “but what is it?”
… wait, white day? a brow furrows in confusion. the name is familiar, but you can’t for the life of you place what kind of holiday it’s supposed to be. it’s not something you celebrate in talys, that’s for sure… and you’re pretty sure you would’ve heard about it by now if it were an altean thing, too. maybe it’s something heroes from another world celebrate…?
oh. oh, that’s where you’ve heard of white day. the hoshidans. it had come up in conversation with princess hinoka recently– something about it being a ‘boys’ version of the day of devotion?
no wonder marth had gone to such lengths to avoid waking you up when he did… your heart swells with affection, and you can’t resist leaning in to kiss him again.
“oh, marth… you didn’t have to go to all this trouble!” by naga, you’re the luckiest woman in the world. “but thank you so much, darling! i’m afraid i don’t have anything for you in return, though. i didn’t realize that was today…”
you’ll just sneak in a trip to the market and surprise him later. no problem!
