You stared blankly at the ceiling, slowly releasing a yawn that was itching to come out.

"Why is Rimuru taking so long to come back? It's almost night time." You muttered.

Although you were tired, sleeping next Rimuru was one of the feelings you couldn't miss for even a day. So even if it meant pulling an all nighter, you would never missed the chance to sleep with your lover.

"Hey, I'm back." The recognizable voice of your husband brought you out of your sleepy state as you sat up from lying position.

Rimuru closed the bedroom door before making his way to you. "You look tired. Have you rest yet?"

"Nope," you shook your head. "I've been waiting all day for you." The slime transformer released a tired sigh. He took off his shoes and coat, revealing his white buttoned up shirt, and climbed on the bed with you.

"Let's get some rest before we go home. How does that sound?" You smiled at your husband a little, though, it slowly dropped right after.

"Actually.. I've been thinking about something.."

"Um.. What is it?" Your husband was now concerned. Curious, but concerned.

"Well...." how can you put your statements into words? "I was just thinking about how.. You know..." Oh goodness, oh goodness, oh goodness, oh goodness. "We've never really... Kissed before." You finally sputtered out. "I mean.. Only once we have, which was during the wedding.. But.. Lately... We haven't. At all."

The blue head face burned a deep shade of red. He darted his eyes away from yours, stuttering as he spoke. "O-Oh yeah? I never really t-thought about it."

"It's weird to me. We've gotten married in less than a week, we sleep together, you always avoid showering with me, and now we've never even kissed." You listed. "Are we even meant to be?" The room felt silent. You can hear the harsh wind being blown behind the closed windows.

Rimuru, himself, knew all of this was true and yet, why couldn't he do all the thing you wanted him to do? Better yet, do all the things a married couple should do? Is he afraid? Of course not. He was the one who requested you to marry him in the first place, so why?

"I-" This is the first time in his new life he felt so submissive. So unassertive. "I do think we were meant to be together." He started. "Maybe.. It's because in my old life, I've never received this kind of love before, so it's fairly new to me. I guess sleeping next to each other is better than showing any other affection." He stared at the ceiling. "And it's not that I'm uncomfortable either.. I'm just.. A little crazy over women bodies too. And I think I might go a little overboard of I see yours." He softly smiled to himself.

He looked back at you.... Only to notice your draped mouth and shutted eyes. Soft tunes exited your mouth as you snored silently.

"But I'll never regret thinking about how cute you look when you sleep." He leaned over just a bit, hesitant to do what he had in mind. "I realized we probably haven't said how much we loved each other, either." Then he kissed you on the forehead.
