You were such a strange presence. Kind, Loving, lack of worry when it came to your free time. It was almost laughable at how easy you took the days, for granted perhaps? And yet, there was something on you that never ceased to amaze him.
How you met wasn’t special, just another child of a merchant family, but one whose name wasn’t well known, how strange. Perhaps you just liked your privacy, he did too.
And how your relationship began? Well, He would have to admit that being the one to be courted was not on his plans. To be fair, He considered ignoring it, expecting you to go away or just let it pass, scaring you off even, thinking of it as a simple whim for you.
Or —justified so— believing you were in the search for some of the privilege the Primarchs offered.
It took weeks, months, almost 2 entire years for you to finally get the answer you wanted: a chance. A date.
Just to get it over with, to show you that being determined does not mean you get anything and flattery won’t get you anywhere.
You prepared everything: when, where, the food, the drinks; the well atmosphere where the son of the emperor felt so conflicted and at peace it was surreal.
Perhaps you were a psyker, there was no other explanation of why you would be so successful at making everything of his liking.
Time went on, and the same years he’s been avoiding you, now were reflected on how long you’ve been together.
Recently given the bless of the Empero himself to union your lives in marriage.
Even now, when the humanity it’s at its peak, when the wars are won like games and the power of the Imperium grows. When he can finally call your name with softness or a grunt of trust, the question still lingers in the back on his mind: why?
Each time He ask, each time you give a different answer, so simple and mundane it becomes irritating.
Fine then, keep your secrets! You’re already too deep into this to back done now!
Yes, after everything you’ve been through, you took down his walls brick by brick; as you saw him on his most and his less human times.
You stood by every challenge or danger by his side.
You learned and began to love him, while He had accepted your love.
But oh, you did have hidden intentions, didn’t you? you just never hide it in the first place.
In reality you did said what you were truly after, but the way that you said it the first time made it sound like such a jest that your now darling lover did not believed it!
Well that was his problem. You promised honesty and you gave it.
Saying it like that made you sound cold, so think of it like this: you arrived for copper and found gold instead!
The plate in front of you became spotless, another great feast! It did not matter to you that this was the 3th time you’ve eaten this delicacy this week.
You just never get tired of it.
You did feel bad that you couldn’t enjoy it with your man, as the crusade kept him away from you. But as soon as they returned? You already added the dish into the menu to celebrate!
Yes, you didn’t want power.
Being the secret child of a family that didn’t love you made you enjoy the little things in life. Find happiness on everything you could, specially food.
All you ever wanted? The recipe of such delicious dish that you tasted on one of the Imperial parties that you managed to attend.
It was so good, you became addicted.
Imagine your shock when you discovered that, even with your high status, that specific dish was only saved for the presence of such figures as the Emperor or his sons.
So… to taste that flavor for the rest of your life? Easy.
That you thought and did!
Now, you stood satisfied and in the waiting for the return of your love. Leaving your gray days behind and now adding some color, no matter the shade, you just knew that a good meal and big man were just what you needed.
Call it simple, silly or ridiculous, you did not care.
