123 123 I Want to Know More About You

"Well, you had an eventful day. Tomorrow we have the official marriage meeting so Gabriel please take her home and let her rest. I can tell that you are doing okay. Your face has some good colouring and that is good enough for me." Subaru grabbed a package of takoyaki and nodded at the rest. 

Aiko took the second last package and bowed to the group. "Have a pleasant evening."

"Subaru, you can come back with us or you can come back with my Father. He will leave in an hour or two unless something major comes in. Ultimately the choice is yours." Gabriel finished rubbing the cream in and lifted her hand to his lips kissing her knuckles. 

"I shall come back with you guys. As there is more work to be done tomorrow. A good rest will help my mind absorb all the information from the day." Subaru took a bite of the takoyaki and sighed happily.

"Since you have made your choice you are free to leave Subaru. Kazuki, you will accompany me to do the office work and tomorrow you both are welcome to come back to the medicine room." Clarence took the final package and left the room. 

Kazuki who was eating happily looked to Gabriel giving him a save me sad face before following their father to do the paperwork. 

Gabriel held back a laugh. 'Serves you right for running away from your responsibilities.' He looked into Amelia's eyes and saw that she was blushing while looking into his eyes. "What are you thinking about?"

"Did you know that you smirked at your brother when he gave you the puppy dog eyes?" Amelia giggled and stood up slowly. 

Gabriel rose with her and was still holding her hand. "I did know that I was smirking. I also thought that it serves him right but don't tell him I said so." He kissed her cheek then let her go and went to the counter to pick up some more of the bruise cream. 

Subaru observed the whole thing with Aiko and the two started laughing. Aiko looked at the couple. "Oh, that was beautiful. Kazuki will be stuck here for a while. I am also off work now but if you need my assistance do feel free to get someone to come to my place and wake me. I am available to help Amelia if you need my services." 

"Thank you, Aiko but you need your rest. I believe that I will be well tonight and if I am not," Amelia looked at all the people in the room, "there are plenty of people in the house that are willing to help me out." Her eyes land on Gabriel last and she sees him nodding. 

Amelia wraps her arms around his neck and rests her head on his shoulder. "I worry that I am too heavy to be carried around like this." She closes her eyes and can feel the gentle sway while Gabriel carried her to the carriage.

"Perish that thought. you are so light." Gabriel walked away taking great care to not jostle her.

Subaru watched for a little bit before following the couple. He walked with Aiko out of the building. "Will you be safe on your trip home?" 

"I will be. I live close by and I do not carry anything on me that I need to worry about losing. This is a bigger city and crimes do happen but I am smart. Thank you for your concern." Aiko looked up at the stars and smiled. "I am just glad that Amelia is doing well. 

"She is but a gentle soul that is full of tenderness and love. I understand how you feel." Subaru smiled then walked down the steps with Aiko. 

Gabriel placed Amelia in the carriage then got in. He sat next to her and smiled at her. "Subaru would you like to sit back here or upfront again?" 

"I am fine to sit with Kosuke. We had a lovely conversation and he is wonderful company." Subaru closed the door and climbed upfront. 

The carriage started and Gabriel watched as everyone's eyes started to droop. The children were fast asleep leaning on Miyuki. She had an arm wrapped around both children and she nodded off. Leaving Amelia and Gabriel to whisper to each other. "Are you tired, my dear?" Gabriel turned and kissed the top of her head as she was leaning against him with her head on his shoulder. 

"I am a little tired but before I rest it would be best if I take my medications. It is getting later and I still need these to survive." Amelia blushed from the kiss and sat up and opened the pouch that was sitting next to her that contained the medicine. Opening the first package she poured the powder on her tongue and grimaced from the taste. 

"I know that it does not taste all that good but at least it is helpful. I am working on methods to make it taste better so that you will be able to enjoy the medicine better. I am thinking of infusing some more crushed berries into the mix. Maybe strawberries?" Gabriel watched as she made a face while taking the medicine.

"Strawberries are wonderful. I love to eat them. I realized just now that I know very little about your likes and dislikes. I know that you like your privacy and that you love painting." Amelia took the second medicine and looked over at Gabriel, "Oh, and I know that you love me as I am."
