"H-Hey what's going on in here- Eep!"
Partner was about to interrupt my kiss with Jonathan, but Eraldine quickly dragged her away.
"Partner, let them be…"
"B-But…"
"Co on, he's one of her old loves… I knew this would eventually happen."
"Huh..."
As the two walked away, our lips slowly separated, as I hugged Jonathan and rested my head on his big, warm and muscular chest.
"I missed that kiss…" I sighed in relief.
" too… More than I could have ever imagined…" He said, caressing my hair.
"You didn't mind it was a bit… cold?" I asked him.
"It wasn't cold." He laughed a bit. "You think you're cold? When I hold these hands, I only sense the warmth and love of your soul."
"The warmth and love of my soul?" I wondered.
"When you express your emotions, I can sense the wavelength of your soul changing. Its temperature seems to change too, I believe." He said. "You were very warm, and you still are."
"I-I see…" I felt quite embarrassed when he said that. "I do rember hearing similar things from my other partners, Eraldine and Lucifer are more sensitive too… They did said my insides were warm."
"Y-Your insides?!" Jonathan blushed a bit. "A-Ah, sorry… I didn't an to overreact…"
"Hahah, it's fine. As long as you're okay sharing with those three." I giggled. "You can kiss and love as much as you want, and I'll also do so…"
"I would not dare make them upset, this is why I didn't try to get closer to you…" He apologized. "Disrupting your relationship with them is the least thing I would ever do, I know how happy they make you, and how important they are for you, especially because they were there for you when I wasn't…"
"Aww, you're as considerate as I rember. I really thought you would get at least a bit jelly!" I said. "I wanted so drama~ You know, to break the ice a bit!"
Jonathan laughed at my joke. "Hahah, you've always loved joking about such sensitive things. You've got quite the dark sense of humor… I rember not many liked that of you, but you always made laugh when I felt the worst."
"Heheh, living to serve, chief." I winked at him. "Now how about we enjoy the food I prepared with so much love?"
"Oh right! Before it gets cold." Jonathan nodded, quickly taking a bite off the skewer I made. "Hmm, this salt is sure delicious! Your cooking is as good as I rember it, Maria!"
"Is that so?" I wondered.
"Yeah, one of the ways you conquered my heart was through my stomach." He smiled. "Every day, you would bring sothing you called a "bento" always prepared with so much love and dedication. There were so many little snacks inside, I always loved eating it in between my knight duties."
"Bento… Yep, that was really , I was a hardcore weeb even then." I laughed; the mories resurfaced in my mind as Jonathan told them. "Let's talk more. The more you say these things, the more mories resurface, one after another…"
"Sure, we got enough ti. What else do you want to rember?" He wondered.
"What did my parents think about you?" I asked him right away.
"Geh… Already with the difficult questions…" He sighed. "Well! I do rember they used to dislike at first. Your mother was a very fancy noble lady, so she disliked that soone like , of common birth, was trying to court her daughter… I told her I was a knight and also a young hero, but it took a while to convince her anyways."
"She didn't believe you?" I asked. "Right… Mom was so stubborn! Hahaha!"
I couldn't help but rember the face of my beloved mother, and all her funny tantrums when I was telling her I was in love with Jonathan.
My mom… She was such a nice mother, always loving and taking care of . The more mories resurfaced, the more I felt like I missed her so much.
I also rember well my mother from back on Earth, I loved her too… But I had already left behind that life, and I am sure she's still alive, living her life.
Yet my mother here… The stubborn noble lady, that always was ordering my father as if he were her butler, and that raised and spoiled so much…
My dear mommy…
Without realizing, tears started falling from my eyes.
"Mom…"
Jonathan looked at with a rather pale expression.
"Maria…" He muttered. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't an to bring so many mories at once….!"
"No, it's fine." I smiled back, cleaning my tears. "It made a bit sad, but I'm also happy… Happy that her moires are back, and that… she still lives, within my heart."
"I-Is that so…" Jonathan sighed. "Well, I can tell you that, despite her attitude towards , I always knew she was a good mother. She loved you so much that she only wanted the best for you. This was why she was so overprotective…"
"I know…" I sighed, caressing his hand. "Thank you for the mories, Jonathan… But for now, let's leave it at that! If I unravel too many too fast, I might really have a ntal breakdown…"
"I understand, let's take this one step at a ti." Jonathan nodded. "Let's enjoy the al with everyone else too! Ah, your daughter's here."
"Mama, seconds!" Nyx asked, waving her hand adorably. "Oh, uncle! Are you eating that one?"
"Oh, this? You can have it if you're so hungry, little Nyx." Jonathan gently gave his skewer to her.
"Thank you uncle!" Nyx started devouring the at as Jonathan gently patted her head.
"You're such an adorable little lady. You really are like your mom, haha." Jonathan giggled.
"Really?!" Nyx asked. "Daddy told you knew mom when she wasn't a ghost! How was she back then?!"
"Oh, well, not so different!" Jonathan said. "But she was indeed a bit clumsier, perhaps…"
"Oooh! Was she a little girl like ?" Nyx asked.
"N-Not that young…" Laughed Jonathan. "But we were both young lads, living our lives and all… I'll tell you a bit, yeah."
Jonathan was dealing surprisingly well with my little Nyx.
