Only with Your Heart

It was a chilly night.

Suddenly, Chizuru woke up, stepped out of the bed and headed towards the open window. Before falling asleep, it was still warm, so I left the window open so that the wind could blow through. But my skin is cold now.

Standing by the window, he looked back over his shoulder.

(Luqlov... unusually sleeps well...)

On the bed, Lucroff was asleep, and the arm holding the crane from his back was still stretching out on the sheet.

My warrior's instincts, Lucrov usually wakes up when there's a little bit of weirdness.

It was unusual for Chizuru to remain asleep even when he woke up. The reason for this... of course, Chizuru had it in mind. The slippery feeling between the thighs, the discomfort of the tingling entrance to the genitals, and the peak of pushing up the chest of the negligee while still tightly clenched are also proof of its immobility.

"Phew..."

And, although it's short, there's no sign of her lover waking up.

Of course, I don't want to wake him up, but I want him to rest as long as he can in his hectic sleep.

That's why Chizuru turned his gaze back out of the window after confirming Rukurov's good night's sleep.

The moon is floating in the pale night sky.

In the so-called half moon, the moonlight glowed slightly in the garden below. A gravel-lined and even path leads to the castle gate, with two sentinels standing beside the bonfire, stiffening the gate to the left and right.

Perhaps because they no longer saw the so-called "screens" such as smartphones and televisions, Chizuru's eyesight seemed to have improved considerably since he returned to the world of Rukurov. Even now, one of the sentries could see through the windows on the second floor of the castle, yawning and covering his mouth with his hand.

Almost a year has passed since I came back to this world.

It has been about six months since I got married.

A lot happened.

Lukrov, who was a stubborn man, thought that his thoughts made sense, but he was kidnapped and injured... finally, everything went out peacefully and smoothly.

There is a gold wedding ring on the left ring finger of Chizuru, and he swears that this love is eternal. Of course, there is a pair of rings on his ring finger.

They are a couple.

(Somehow... it still feels ticklish. I wonder if I'll get used to it someday)

He leaned his left hand out of the window and reflected the ring in the moonlight.

The candlestick on the mantle piece that was still on fire before bedtime had already disappeared, so the only light source was this moon.

The moon of the lower chord.

The figure of the moon just for hamburgers.

It doesn't have the presence of a full moon, nor is it painted in a friendly way like a crescent moon. But for some reason, Chizuru looked at the half-circle of light.

I think I've heard that the circular shape of the wedding ring represents eternal love.

Indeed, the two of them are now filled like the full moon.

(But we also had a time when we were like half a month. nostalgic....)

Back then, I never thought this would happen. When I first met Lukrov, he was always ruthless and harsh... Even though Chizuru began to approach Rukurov subtly, he felt that he was not attached to the island.

One-way... only halfway through. It was exactly half a moon.

(It would be interesting if you and I could tell Lucroff back then that you and I would become a couple someday. Fufu)

Somehow, the night breeze blew through the window as I smiled quietly in a delusion. It is still in the mouth of autumn, but it cools down at night. This was the same in summer. It's a much drier climate than Japan.

Chizuru closed the window as he shook his shoulder.── No, he tried to close it.

Outside the window, the lower moon floating in the eastern sky shimmers into meaning. Chizuru was suddenly hit by a shock like hitting his head somewhere... and he lost consciousness.
