Lyn's better idea was making flavored ice. It was a food that had gotten popular in the Empire the last few years.

Kazuya understands it also that the time they have with each other is limited - which is why he has not only been guarding her — but following through the girls every whim and wishes.

Even if it's silly as having shaved ice in the middle of winter, well, he supposed it is alright, the weather has been slightly better recently, and today the sun is actually up though it's still dim due to the winter season.

Kazuya had dropped the work he was supposed to do when he realized Lyn would be alone the whole day. He should have known that the girl's definition of important was something like this. After that day, she didn't go back to the base with him and just headed back alone. That's how it was supposed to be from the beginning, but he couldn't help but be disappointed.

He wanted to be slightly closer with her, even if it's only for a short while. Kazuya sat and watched the brunette proceed with making more flavored ice. It's chilly and yet there's something about this that's normal. Over the last few years, Kazuya hasn't had any though.

"Only you'd suggest something abnormal like having shaved ice in winter," Kazuya said, voicing his thoughts.

"I don't want to hear that from the person who uses winter items in the summer," Lyn said drily.

Well, he can't say anything to that. Even now, he still does that, "Aren't you cold in those clothes?"

"I've always been all right with the cold. Besides, this is my favorite outfit."

As she said those words, Kazuya noted his wife was glancing back at him, yet it was only for a moment. He won't be surprised if she's already figured it out. Though she still hasn't guessed that he's been sending her secret messages whenever they are apart, it's just a matter of time before she does. She's sharp after all, maybe she's just messing with him, and she knows already?

His thoughts broke when he hears his messenger crystal go off. "A message?"

"Yeah, from the others. That girl woke up, and she's getting treated now."

Lyn was silent for a few minutes, and for a split second, he thought he had offended her.

"You're awfully familiar with loads of girls."

"Is that what it seems like?"

"Come to think of it, someone in the previous town asked me to introduce you to them."

"Oh," Kazuya said. He figures that the stares he was getting when he was with Lyn were increasing. Kazuya thought that it was the stares from the staff and the girl's fan's - but it turns out it was none of those.

"When she asked, I told him straight up how much of a pervert you are..."

Kazuya sweatdropped when he saw the expression on the girls face, and the way she was suddenly aggressive while making the flavored ice, she's going to end up breaking that. "She backed off after that."

"Even though you know the real reason..." he murmurs. Well, he supposed it's fine. Having a random girl confess to him was something he doesn't want to deal with. Come to think of it, since coming here he hasn't had to worry about that problem. Though at first he did receive a few looks and was. .h.i.t on quite a bit after he recruited those girls, things changed.

"However, a person seriously dating me should have a somewhat twisted personality," Lyn admitted.

His sweat fell; his wife is something. What kind of person admits that they have a shrewd personality? Back when he met her again, she was actually quite docile and meek. But she slowly regained her confidence and started to bully him.

"True, I'm not normal, and Rhys isn't either."

Lyn sighed, "You're always bringing up Rhys, do you really want me to leave you for him?"

"I'm just kidding my lovely wife."

Sometimes Kazuya wondered if he was though.

Lyn didn't notice

"In reality, even if I introduced you to other people, it's not like there is any chance of anything happening."

"You never know, the unexpected could happen."

He was only playing with her, of course, Kazuya understood better than anyone.

"That would never happen. After I fell in love with you Kazuya, I found out what that I'm more selfish than I thought," she smiled "And I realized that only a selfish person like myself could handle you," at that comment, Kazuya could feel the hint of red appearing on his cheeks. "At least for me, there is n.o.body else who can control you but me," she turned to face him, "Do you have what it takes to betray me? To leave me after everything we've gone through?"

Lyn really does know how to make him speechless. This girl really..

Kazuya pulls an indifferent looking expression, "And what if I do?"

Lyn turned back to the board where she was making flavored ice, "Look at this. This ice here is you Kazuya. I'll use this. And," the next words that left Lyn's lips made him shudder.

His sweatdropped, "Oh, that doesn't sound like a joke."

"That's because I don't joke about things that concern you, dear."

Here he was trying to catch her off guard. But she is good - no, her personalities just bad. He wonders what her fans would think if they know that the person they admire is actually like this. Then again, whenever she's on stage or acting out a role, she transforms into a completely different person. They probably wouldn't mind either way.

"Even if you have a change of heart and like other girls, I wouldn't care because even though there are better girls out there, you still chose me out all of them. You married me."

Is she sulking? It's difficult to tell from this angle, but it's kind of cute seeing her this way.

"But," Lyn smiled, "That won't happen. I know how much you love me."

This time around, he can't hide the blush on his cheeks. Damm. She is far too cheeky. Still, Kazuya stood up and wrapped his arms around his wife.

"My lovely wife, I missed you so much."

Lyn sighed. "Your so helpless," Lyn put down the flavored ice, and caressed his cheeks, "How much did you miss me?"

"Lyn..."

"I need you to tell me, do you know how painful it was for me?"

Kazuya chuckled, "You really are cute."

"I love you, but since we got married, you keep disappearing. I understand that it was for my sake. But people talk, you know? They say such cruel things about you."

"Do you believe them?"

"I don't, but I can't stand people saying such mean things. Kazuya, come back with me," Lyn murmured, "As long as we're apart, our powers are limited anyway. There is more of a chance of us getting harmed individually, that's why.."

"Stay by your side?" Kazuya finished her sentence.

"Yes."

"I'll come back," Kazuya decided.

Lyn's eyes lit up, "You will?"

"Yeah, let's just get things sorted here first, and then I'll return with you," Kazuya trailed off, "Remember, what we talked about before I left?"

Lyn turned red, the girls calm and arrogant demeanor seemed to have vanished completely. Kazuya cupped her cheeks, "Can we start on that now?"

"Kazuya.."

"I want your kids Lyn," Kazuya whispered against her lips, "I want a family with you."

Despite the girl's embarra.s.sment, she reached over, "Okay."
