"Yes."
Claus didn't hesitate to answer without even needing a second thought about the wonderful question that would lead to changing his life forever.
Awesome! I finally got my Baby! It's the start of my amazing love life!
As for the meaning of being asked to be a wife, it doesn't matter to Claus as long as he could get together with the person that moved his heart. Besides, as the wife, he would be extremely thoughtful and perform all the hard work when it comes to their bed matters.
… cough… calm down… don't be excited… don't scare the love of your life… or you will end up crying miserably...
After all, Claus also understood that his newfound lover doesn't really have any deeper feelings towards him. The word 'responsibility' was spoken before Snow asked him to be his wife and that Snow was only forced to speak such words after checking the information on the internet.
I don't regret what happened but I still need to continue wooing my Baby…
"Baby, I have to seriously tell you an important fact so that you won't regret it. I am an extremely serious person. If you really want to be with me, even if there are no feelings attached and it is a mere responsibility for you, please know that I don't mind having you in my life till the day I die."
"..."
"Baby, I'll make it clear alright? My heart seems to beat for you, the longer we stay together, the harder it beats, and the deeper I fall for you. Every single moment, I become content easily just by staying by your side, happily watching over you, always wanting to make you happy."
Claus took a deep breath while stepping closer and slowly wrapped his arms around the stunned and dazed mermaid before leaning his forehead over the other's, causing the two of them to easily observe each other's eyes.
"Do you know? I always feared that you would leave and suddenly disappear from my life. Always fearing for the safety of your life and constantly thinking about how to make you happy and content every single day. So, Baby, if this is not loved, then what is?"
Claus's green eyes slowly brightened with overwhelming warmth and love that lit up blazingly while speaking in an utterly sincere and serious voice.
"Baby, I finally found the treasure I want to protect and guard for the rest of my life, and Snow, that person is you. So can you please try to like me too so that our relationship would not remain as a mere responsibility? Snow, I genuinely love you."
Snow had experienced his lover's confession countless times.
However, today was a new experience where Snow is confessed inside a restroom, with two men secretly listening in fear inside the closed compartment, while there was an unconscious person some distance away from them.
As for Snow's answer and reaction, he finally started to use the Game Map mind communication toward his lover, which was the same ability he has used in the fourth mission world after being put into a deep sleep because of a cheat object effect after taking it.
"Claus, you can really be silly. The reason why I wanted to take responsibility was that I notice a while ago how I appeared to like you and right at this moment, I'm liking you even more."
"...!"
Snow showed a brilliant smile, causing his stunning appearance to become bewitching, before leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on his lover's lip and quickly leaning away.
"Although I have been hurt and betrayed, I am not a coward and scared to start again. Since I started having the feeling of liking someone again, and since it's you, I don't mind trying it with you."
Snow slowly wrapped his own arms around Claus before placing his face upon Claus' slender neck and breathing deeply upon it.
"My kind Elf Wife, now, you can take me back home."
"Good, I will listen to my dear husband..."
Claus felt his heart beating furiously to the point he might have a heart attack. After swallowing hard and trying to be calm, he tried to restrain himself from the tempting idea of kissing Snow.
... don't be greedy… don't be too fast… show him the sincerity and respect that he deserves…
Claus's determination and resolution were being tested beyond reason. Everything was still alright when they were just friends but now that they became lovers and will soon turn into a husband and wife status, it was quite hard for him to control himself from doing a far more intimate action.
Like kissing those tempting red lips… wanting to see those creamy white cheeks turning into a lovely pink color… those pair of golden eyes blurring with desire… leaving countless marks upon the smooth white skin… those pair of slender legs wrapping around his waist…
Cough… Cough…
Claus's lips twitched when a certain lower part of his was slowly reacting just because of the wonderful images that emerged in his mind.
After a calming breath, Claus swiftly and gently, he took the confused and oblivious lover in his arms.
"Baby, I'll take you back home."
Snow obediently allowed himself to be carried in the arms of Claus while acting oblivious and ignorant at the sharp look his lover had quickly shot to one of the people guarding outside the restroom door.
It was definitely to handle the people inside the restroom, in which one of them would face a miserable end.
After all, no matter what world the mysterious lovers live in, with various identities and different personalities, there was no changing the fact about how ruthless, violent and cruel his lover could be when it was related to him.
Aside from being a beast in nature when it came to their love life, the indifference buried deep within his mysterious lover's soul, was unimaginable beyond reason.
In the first world, Li Chen is the best example of it all, even if the world was about to be destroyed it won't even leave a single guilt of consciousness in his heart.
It always made Snow wonder how his lover became obsessed so quickly with him after they had just met.
Although he remained quiet about it, he realized how abnormal and unusual his lover's attachment to him was.
Oh, it was not like Snow doesn't believe in love at first sight. However, the subconscious obsession his lover sometimes shows deep in his eyes when gazing at him was different from the usual obsession he had witnessed.
It was an unexplainable obsession.
However, no matter what the circumstances were with his mysterious lover, Snow had chosen to be with him, completely believing in the feelings his lover had shown with his words and actions.
When it comes to emotions, Snow was excellent at detecting and reading about them since he could easily feel any emotions without any worries or concern. Every time he felt an emotion, one could say that he always felt the most genuine and purest emotion without an added uncertainty upon it.
Because of this special ability that Snow was born with, there wasn't any hesitation, fear, dread, and complication whenever he felt some emotions, after all, he was a person that could always remove them as soon as he decided to do so.
While Snow was speculating the identity of his mysterious lover and at the same time wondering what the abnormally on his lover was, no one hindered them from going out of the night bar club.
Instead of walking to the car that Snow had been using while traveling in the Imperial City, Claus walked over in another direction before suddenly mentioning a certain topic in a curious voice.
"By the way, Baby you sure have a few interesting people with you."
Snow innocently blinked his golden eyes while slightly tilting his head to the right side after hearing the question, completely showing the appearance of thinking about the people that Claus suddenly mentioned before a light of recognition flashed in his beautiful golden pupils.
"Oh, they are my gift to my wife."
"Gift?"
Snow innocently nodded his head before flashing an expression of wanting to receive praise for being thoughtful.
"Yes, didn't my kind wife show me the important people in the Imperial city before? I saw them in grave danger when I was doing something important and decided to rescue them along the way when I consider how useful they could be in your hands."
My love, look! I'm really so nice to you!
But well, what can I do other than always pampering you?
"How thoughtful of my Husband… I'm happy that you think about the trouble I am facing, but instead, I really would have preferred just to receive a wonderful kiss from my husband as a gift."
"..."
My love, you are really awesome! Always taking advantage of every situation you can, just to eat my tofu!
