The Flower That Bloomed In The Dark

Lily climbed out and followed him to their room, "I've never stayed in a place like this before," she admitted to him gently.

---

He smiled,"I know, " he murmured into the top of her hair, "but it'll be okay, then we'll be together again,"

She smiled a little and kissed his neck gently. "Are you nervous?"

---

He smiled a little. "First time for everything," He said as he set the things down and shutting the door behind them. "Are you hungry?"

"A little," she said to him as she looked around the room then sat on the bed.

---

He nodded,"a little but I'm sure I'll be fine," he said to her keeping his hands on her waist.

She sat down and sighed. "What kind of house do you want to live in? How many kids do you want?"

---

He went over to the fire. "I'm a great cook, m'lady. What can I serve you?" He grinned, looking fir ingredients

He smiled, "A two story house, six bedrooms - with fields we can maybe start a farm - nothing serious just enough to make profit," he murmured. "Three kids sounds good to me, but it depends how you handle the first,"

---

She smiled a little, "whatever you can whip up in a jiffy I'm starved," she teased him as she let her hair down then sighed as she took her shoes off.

"I can make stew," He nodded, looking through the cupboard and adding to the fire. "You can rest, I'll cook it," He smiled a little.

---

"Do you still want to work with animals?" She asked curiously. "As a stablehand? Maybe since you're good at it, you can rear horses."

She smiled as she looked at him, "We actually get to wake up together tomorrow, we've never done that before," she said to him softly.

---

He nodded a little, "I'd love to - maybe we can breed them?"" he offered.

She nodded. "You would do it well, and you enjoy it," SHe nodded. "We can have a large stable and fields, and raise horses. It would gain more money than a farm would anyway."

---

He shook his head. "I will sleep elsewhere," He smiled a little. "I want the first time we share a bed to be when we're married. Which will be very soon," He said softly.

She whined a little, "But sehun," she pouted at him, "You've done this all backwards you know" she said to him sighing a little.

---

He nodded a little,"You're right, five thousand crowns for a stud probably,"

"Right, and we'd be comfortable. I don't like the idea of you working in fields on a farm, you'll be happier in a stable. And I'll be happier with you happy." She nodded.

---

"I know I have, so let me try to do something right," He smiled weakly. "Just one thing right by you at least"

He nodded a little and smiled, "I'll make it work... for you," he said to her gently. "Don't worry,"

---

She smiled, "fine, fine," she said to him as she stretched. "I need a new name,"

"I'm not worried, I have you," She smiled a little. "You'll take care of me, I know."

---

He shrgged. "Take my last name, and use your middle name, at least for now."

She nodded a little as she looked at him, "Alright, problem solved," she said lightly as she laid back on the bed her hands on her stomach.

---

He smiled as he rubbed her back, "Of course I'll take care of you," he murmured smiling.

She sat down onto the bed and looked at him. "Are you really intent on keeping my virtue intact?" She asked him, crossing her arms. "Why? What if I don't want it any more?"

---

He set the food onto the fire before coming over to her and kissing her gently. "What are you thinking about?"

He sighed as he looked at her, "It's more about me," he said honestly, "I've always been ready to have my way with a girl but with you I want to wait," he murmured softly.

---

She shrugged, "Just everything, what if this was the wrong decision," she said to him softly as she looked into his eyes.

"So it isn't that you aren't attracted to me," She smiled a little. "I understand, but whenever you kiss me, you have amazing control and I'm left a mess." She pouted. "I still haven't forgiven you for sending me home after the time in the barn,"

---

He shook his head. "No, no," He murmured. "Are you worried? I will make everything work for us," He said seriously. "I will give you the life you deserve. I promise."

She held his face in her hands, "I'm scared is all," she said to him gently and kissed him "I love you so much,"

---

He laughed, "well I had to you were about to take my clothes off," he said to her lightly.

"No one had ever kissed me like that before," She whined. "And now you won't kiss me like that again,"

---

He kissed her and sighed. "I love you too. Once we get there, things will be easier for us. I promise."

She nodded a little as she looked at him,"Are you sure you don't want to sleep in the bed with me?" she asked him laughing a little.

---

"And you'll have to wait, I don't want there to be bad luck , what if you got pregnant?" he said to her.

"There are ways to keep that from happening, aren't there?" She mumbled. "Women at court do all the time, but if you want to wait. I wont force you. Though I will demand you at least kiss me, if I must wait to be bedded I demand other forms of intimacy." She said, pouting a little. "Please."

---

He shook his head. "No I'm not, but I want to do something right by you," He laughed a little.
