they both had their own personal obstacles to conquer, but they both were able to go over them. And continue on with their life.

"Hey, I kept my word didn't I?" The two were alone sitting together on the mountain, watching the sun set together.

"Hm?" Xiao hummed with a question, as they kept their fingers intertwined with each other, holding their hands on the grass.

"I did tell you, I would let you get married on my mountain at my shrine. Though you asked me to marry you there." She laughed a heartfelt laugh. One that Xiao wishes to hear forever.

"Yes, you did."

"Trust me, I'm sure you'd be a great dad."

"You wouldn't know until you try." He said in a very hushed tone, and very suggesting. And it took her a few seconds to let that register in her head.

"Wait—"

"I know, we should wait after the party. Then we can have our own fun, later that night to celebrate." Ooh how that smirk of his can make that girl weak. And his initiating manner started to increase as they got closer.

Y/N brought her free hand in front of her face, and waved it frantically.

"Oh my god Xiao! I think you might be getting a little ahead of yourself, my dear ex-adeptus."

Xiao held her free hand with his other, free hand, and kissed it.

Y/N could feel her cheeks feel warmer by the second. And she swore she felt Xiao's lips turn into another mischievous smirk against the back of her hand. His eyes moved up to see her expression.

"I think you might have grown weak to me,
Y/N." Xiao stated.

"I— no! You're just very, very, very seductive is all—"

"So you think I'm seductive? Hm, glad to hear that I'm able to swoon the only lady that I would love with all my heart with."

"You sneaky little—"

"I won't pry anymore." Xiao chuckled, as he raised his hands up in a mock surrender.

Yes, he's become more cheerful than before. And would only show his playfulness to her, and her only.

"We're already married though, I suppose." She smiled.

"I suppose so." He mimicked her, and she playfully punched his shoulder.

"We're staying together alright?" She told him questioning.

He chuckled. "If and only if."
