"Daniel, are you asleep?"
Daniel who was looking back at Ezter was shocked, he thought that his wife had slept but had not. "B-yet, why haven't you slept yet?" daniel asked
"Once again, maybe because I'm in a new place, so I can't sleep" Ezter replied.
The girl turned her head and looked at Daniel's back, "do you hate me?" suddenly Ezter asked a question that made the teenager immediately wake up and look at Ezter who was also staring at him.
"Of course not! ..I don't hate you, you're so good then why do I hate you?!" he replied firmly, during being Ezter's partner, although they did not have much time but he felt comfortable.
"All of a sudden, it just crossed my head" Ezter said casually.
Ezter smiled, he also got up and sat staring at Daniel. "Because we're not like other couples. I don't have much time to spend with you, so I think you're-"
"No! I really like Ezter!" daniel rebutted quickly, "I have no problem with that, however, there are still Edmund and Edward with me. We also often have tea parties, that's enough."
"I'm glad you don't hate me... Even so, I will try to have some free time with you from now on."
"I'm glad to hear that, I feel so grateful that Ezter is my wife" Daniel replied
"Since we don't have much time together, what if we sleep together for the next time?" propose Ezter casually. He doesn't have a problem with this
"Ehh?!" Daniel immediately retreated with a red face, "m-you mean?"
"We will sleep in the same room from now on, even when we return to the Castle in the Grand Duchy" Ezter explained
Daniel's face was getting redder, lucky the light in this room was so minimal that his reddened face did not look so clearly in Ezter's eyes. "But.."
"Do you hate him?" asked Ezter by getting closer to his body, he wondered why the teenager was avoiding him and away, was something wrong?
'Why is his reaction like this? Not that I'm suggesting anything bad, is it?' inner Ezter, he was confused
"Daniel, don't misunderstand me. We're married so it's not illegal, we don't have much time together, so there's no change in this relationship. We have to make contact often in order to get closer.
However, if you don't like it, I can't force you... We'll be back as before, you can be in your room once you get to the castle." explains Ezter quickly
"N-not so... It's just, I'm still embarrassed.." Daniel's voice sounded so small at the end, the teenager hid his face under the covers quickly.
Even though Ezter didn't see her face, he knew that her little husband must be feeling really embarrassed. 'She is cute and adorable, should I tease her again?' He smiled with anxiety at Daniel's behavior.
"Daniel..? Hey.. Why are you hiding in the blanket?" asked Ezter, he tried to pull the blanket but was held firmly by Daniel.
"Hey..why are you hiding like this? Come out. I said get out of there, we're still talking now. hey..." Ezter tried to pull the blanket as hard as he could, they both held back and pulled.
'Why is Ezter like this? My face right now must look so embarrassing, I don't want Ezter to see me as bad as this.' He still tries to hold the blanket, he still tries to hold back, but it turned out that the force that Ezter used was even stronger so that the blanket immediately fell down, revealing the figure of Daniel hugging his knee.
"You said you wouldn't mind sleeping together, but if you don't like it, I'm fine. Why are you acting like this?" at first he felt anxious, but then became a little upset.
Hearing the tone of Ezter's voice that had changed, the teenager immediately raised his head because it seemed to know that Ezter had become upset.
"T-no! Ezter, are you angry?" is it because of Ezter's attitude to hate him now?
Ezter sighed softly, he drew closer and held Daniel's chubby cheek, "I'm not angry. It's just, if you really don't like my advice, I don't mind. I don't hate you either. Now, you can sleep here, I'll sleep on the couch." The girl turned her body and got out of bed
Daniel who realizes that he has done something wrong immediately stops Ezter who is about to take a step, Daniel hugs his wife's body from behind. "Don't go!"
"...what?" asked Ezter, he immediately sat down because Daniel was suddenly hugging him, quite surprised.
Ezter heard the teenager's voice sounding terrified, "Well, I'm not going" Ezter replied.
Daniel loosened his arms, hoping that Ezter would return to the bed, but saw Ezter's arms standing up and took another step of fear in his heart unable to calm down and re-embraced Ezter. "You said you didn't go, and where did you go?" ask her with a trembling voice
Ezter was a little confused, he raised his hand and pointed at the dropped blanket as he used a lot of force when pulling it from Daniel earlier. "The blanket fell down, I just took it away." she replied calmly.
".....!" daniel's face immediately flushed red, he was shocked and embarrassed. The teenager covered his face with both hands
"Haha..." Ezter laughed, really very anxious at her husband's cute and adorable behavior.
"...Why are you laughing?" daniel asked, he was really embarrassed.
Ezter fixed the blanket, then went back up on the bed.
"Nothing, just feeling that Daniel is so cute and adorable" Ezter replied
"Really?" daniel raised his head
"Yes, my husband is so adorable." replied Ezter reassuringly.
Daniel's eyes glazed over, "I-I'm afraid Ezter will leave me. That's why I'm so embarrassed now.." Her tears immediately fell from seeing Ezter return to bed.
Realizing that her husband was crying, Ezter took a handkerchief that was on the bedside table, and approached Daniel. "I'm not leaving, I don't hate you either.. You're so cute and adorable, how could I leave you?"
Ezter wiped away Daniel's growing tears, "my husband is really a whiny, huh?"
"No! I'm not a crybaby." Daniel argued, but instead his tears grew louder
"Yes, you're a crybaby" Ezter continued
"I'm not a whiny..." On the contrary, his tears just grew louder, the fear in his heart made the teenager could not hold himself anymore and actually cried.
Ezter pulled Daniel and hugged him, rubbing the teenager's back to stop crying. It took some time for her little husband to calm down
Of course he always said 'Little husband' in the heart, because his soul is no longer a 12-year-old child, but an adult woman who has a mature mind, only her body... given this Ezter could only sigh
After Daniel calms down, he realizes that the shirt on Ezter's right shoulder has been soaked by his tears, he is embarrassed but Ezter does not dispute that.
"Because you've regained your composure, drink some water to calm down and let's go to sleep." the girl gave me a glass of water, but Daniel only sipped half of it before Ezter kept the glass.
"Now, let's go to sleep. Let's lie by my side, then give me your hand. We'll join hands while we sleep, so we stay close together" Ezter said, asking for Daniel's hand after the teenager lay down.
Daniel saw his hand held by Ezter, his heart racing fast.
Ezter smiled at Daniel, before he closed his eyes and slowly began to fall asleep without him noticing.
Daniel could not fall asleep even though he had just been crying, seeing that Ezter was falling asleep with his regular breathing, Daniel smiled brightly.
'Ezter was really very beautiful despite sleeping.' The teenager continued to admire the beauty of his wife, then saw the difference in their hands.
Ezter's hand, though small and wiggly, was also seen there as a hard-working girl.
Daniel continues to think of Ezter in his mind, he admires Ezter and without him noticing, he also catches up with Ezter to the subconscious.
The two teenagers of different ages fell asleep very quietly that night. Their relationship grew stronger from there
