The mansion's living room was still enveloped by a thick aura of happiness and warmth over the presence of the fourth spouse in their family. The atmosphere that was previously full of tension now felt very light and relieving.
Allen, with his happy smile, suddenly stepped forward approaching the married couple.
"Then, where are the two of you going to enjoy this first night moment?" Allen asked with a slightly teasing tone, breaking Arvin and Alvein's focus.
Arvin pondered for a moment, looking at Alvein from top to bottom.
"It looks like we'll just have to do it in the bathroom." Arvin decided firmly. "He also has to bathe and clean himself first. After being inside there for thousands of years, there must be a lot of dust and dirt sticking to his skin and also this beautiful hair of his."
Alvein nodded in agreement with his husband's logical suggestion. He himself also felt bad if his body, which might still be dirty and covered in ruins' dust, would dirty their clean bed.
"A wise decision! In that case, the two of you go to the bathroom now, and the three of us will go back upstairs to sleep." Allen said while turning his body, gathering again with Alrain and Ordion. "Enjoy your first night moment, you two. And Alvein, remember well what I whispered to you earlier."
Remembering that explicit instruction whisper, Alvein's face heated up again. "Yes, I will do it!" he answered firmly and full of ambition.
Allen smiled in satisfaction, then began walking leaving the living room. Behind him, Alrain and Ordion walked following the first spouse's steps.
"Have fun, you two." Alrain said while stepping to follow Allen.
"Exert all your charm and ability in front of our husband, Alvein!" Ordion added with burning spirit, joining the walk with Allen and Alrain. "If you want to proceed to the next round, you just need to smile sweetly in front of him. He will definitely do anything to make you happy!"
"Yes!" Alvein answered firmly, his heart warming hearing the sincere support from his seniors. "I will definitely do my best! Thank you very much."
After the departure of the three of them who had returned to the room upstairs, the living room became silent again. Now, only Arvin and Alvein were left in the living room.
Alvein gathered his courage. He slipped his fingers in and tightly grasped his husband's hand.
"Honey, where is the bathroom located?" Alvein asked with an adoring gaze. "Let's go there immediately and make the white Life-and-Death contract like the ones engraved on the back of your hand and also the backs of their three right hands."
Arvin chuckled softly seeing the adorable enthusiasm of his spouse. "Yes, let's go there now."
The two of them began to step and walk together, going down the quiet mansion hallway while continuing to hold hands towards the main bathroom. However, in the middle of their steps, suddenly...
Thump-thump! Thump-thump!
Alvein's heart beat very fast. The nervous feeling that suddenly ambushed him instantly made the fairy feel erratic. His footsteps felt a little stiff and his breath hitched.
Feelings of happiness, nervousness, impatience, and explosive enthusiasm now raged into one inside his mind and chest. Soon, he would truly surrender his entire soul and body to the man who was currently holding his hand.
Upon arriving inside the spacious and warm bathroom, Arvin closed the door. He slowly released their handhold and began to strip and take off his clothes one by one with casual movements.
Seeing the sight of his husband starting to take off his clothes under the bright lamp light made Alvein instantly swallow his saliva. He became increasingly, extraordinarily nervous. His eyes widened and hardly blinked at all when seeing the overall curves of his husband's naked body directly for the first time.
"Alvein?" Arvin called softly, realizing his spouse was just standing frozen looking at his body.
Instantly, that baritone call made Alvein's daydream scatter immediately.
"Y-Yes, Honey? Why did you call me?" he asked in a fluster, feeling nervous with the sight in front of him.
"Why are you just staying quiet and not taking off your clothes?" Arvin asked in wonder, the corners of his lips pulling up slightly holding back a smile. "Let's take a bath together first. The night is getting late."
Hearing the reasonable words from his husband, Alvein immediately snapped back to reality and began taking off the ancient clothes wrapping his body one by one.
However, one magical thing happened. When he took off the inner layer of clothing that stuck directly to his skin, that clothing suddenly faded and disappeared into mana particles flying in the air.
Seeing that phenomenon, Arvin felt amazed. "Was the last piece of clothing you just took off a piece of clothing made of magic?" Arvin asked curiously.
"Yes, your guess is perfectly correct, Honey." Alvein answered casually, telling the truth while standing unclothed in front of his husband. "Only my inner clothing is completely made of magic. And because of that magic clothing, it also enables me to hide my wings and ears."
Arvin smiled in relief hearing the answer from his fourth spouse. Now he understood how Alvein's camouflage mechanism worked. "So that's how it is? In that case, let's bathe now. Tomorrow, I promise I will make a lot of nice new clothes and pants for you." Arvin said gently.
"Yes, Honey! Thank you very much!" Alvein replied with sparkling eyes.
And then, inside the bathroom that was starting to be filled with warm water steam, the two of them finally took a bath together for the first time. The sound of water splashing over their bodies could be heard.
Arvin picked up the soap and began to lather Alvein's body with very meticulous movements. He washed Alvein's back, shoulders, and transparent wings very carefully. He also massaged and shampooed Alvein's silver hair with the full affection of a husband. The touch of his hands was so gentle, cleaning away every thousand-year-old dust that might still remain.
And that was a form of affection that Alvein felt for the first time in his life, for more than the thousands of years he existed in the world as a Morpher.
An extraordinary feeling of happiness surged in his heart. The warmth of the water splashes and also the warmth from the touch of his husband's hands truly made him feel very cared for, protected, desired, and valued.
Not wanting to only receive, Alvein looked at his husband with full desire. "Honey, allow me to do the same thing as what you are doing to me right now."
"Please do, Alvein." Arvin answered gently, allowing his body to be cared for and pampered by his new spouse.
After getting permission from his husband, Alvein immediately took the soap and began to lather his husband's sturdy body very gently. His fingers danced carefully over the chest and back he was touching, then switched to shampooing his husband's blue hair with full gentleness.
The sensation when his skin made direct contact to lather the body and also when shampooing the hair of the man who had now become his husband, it was a very memorable warm experience that would never be forgotten in his life.
He was so happy serving his husband that, without him realizing it, the two pairs of dragonfly wings on his back kept moving and vibrating slowly, responding to the pure happiness overflowing from his soul.
