“Good morning, snoogiepoo, I love you.”
“Good morning, my Sun. I made breakfast. Would you get Pri for me?”
———
“Laogong, wake up. It’s Primula’s weapon selection day, and you said you wouldn’t miss it.”
“ ‘m up I’m up, but you can’t blame me after doing allll of those horrendous, devious, nasty, sexy thing to me last night now could you? My hips are killing me.”
“Stop whining, you’ve taken worse. Hurry up and get dress, Prim is waiting and if you don’t make haste, she said a hissing fit will ensue.”
“Yeah yeah tell her I’ll be down in five. And woogieboo…”
“Hm?”
“I love you.”
———
“Good morning, Sunlight. How are you?”
“Urrrrrggghhhhh stop being so loud my head is killing me why are you so loud shhhh.”
“That’s on you. What on earth was in your mind when you agreed to have a drinking contest ?”
“Babe, I love you, so much, but can you please please save the nagging til later? I already am aware of the consequences of my own action.”
“Fine. Sleep it off then, and explain to Pri why she has to study poetry for two day straight yourself.”
“Love you, too. Bye. Please shut the blind for me it’s so fuckin bright in here.”
———
“Morning, babe. Happy anniversary!”
“Mmm… what is it this year?”
“Steel. Can you believe it?”
“Eleven years.”
“Wow, I still can’t believe that I got to spend eleven years of my life with my whoopiepoo.”
“The feeling is very much mutual. Now go and find your gift this year. It’s around somewhere.”
“Aww, poetry riddle again? You know I’m bad at those!”
“Not entirely, you have to see for yourself. “
“Fine. Your gift is very much on the dining table, wrapped and all.”
“I’d make sure to act surprised when I find it this time then.”
“Killjoy.”
“But you love me anyway.”
“I do. I really do.”
———
“Where were you last night?”
“Geez, you scare the hibijibies out of me!!”
“What, has old age finally caught up with you? Has the once great Commander’s senses become dull with time and languishing?”
“Nooo?? I was afraid I’m gonna break your neck!”
“You haven’t answered my question. Where. Were. You. Last. Night?”
“Poogie-”
“Don’t ‘ poogie’ me! You were out all night, didn’t say anything, didn’t send a messenger, I have no idea where you are, how you were. We were worried sick.”
“I was at work. There was an emergency, something about discovering an extinct species and they needed an excavation team. I swear I’m telling the truth, you can ask the whole court if you want.”
“…fine, but if you lie even just one word, I’m chopping both of your dicks off and shove them down your throat myself.”
“Love you, too. Imma…sleep…now.”
“Love you.”
———
“Hey, where’s Primula?”
“Good morning to you too, my Sun. What’s the hurry?”
“I..I mean I..wa..I-”
“Slow down, what’s wrong?”
“Our daughter disappeared. I was checking her room, y’know to wake her up for breakfast but she wasn’t in her room so I headed to the training ground but she wasn’t there so I check the garden ohmygodwhatifsheiskidnapped?”
“Relax, dear husband. Nothing is the matter.”
“Re-How am I supposed to relax? Our daughter…”
“…Is going on a date with someone. Now, would you want coffee or juice?”
“I love you, but right? I love both of you, but this is really messing with my poor old heart, y’know that right? I might even go back to the source earlier than you might at this point.”
———
“We’re late we’re so late!”
“Relax, laogong, it’s just a rehearsal ceremony.”
“Yeah, but we’re the one walking her down the aisle. Oohh she’s going to murder us!”
“Alright alright, let’s just tell her that her senile father was having a rough time getting out of bed, hoping that the little sapling wouldn’t take it to heart.”
“Hey, don’t say that. You’re not senile! You’re still so dashing and if it wasn’t for this ceremony, I would jump you right here, right now. ”
“Aww, you have such a way with words that can even make an old man blush. Such silver tongue you have.”
“I love you so much, but don’t tempt me anymore, we’re already late. Better move along now.”
“Hmm”
“What?”
“Just think…”
“About…?”
“About how much I love you dapper thing and how much you love me back.”
———
“Grandpas, grandpas wake up!! You promised you will show me the sharpest weapon you got today!!”
“Easy there, child, we’re not as nimble as we used to be, so give us a moment.”
“Yeah, kid. Whatever snookiepoo said!”
“But it’s laaaaate!! Sun is up and mommies already left for work, so get up get up getupgetup..”
“Alright, I’ll take you, but be quiet. Grandfather Muu is not so much a morning person anymore.”
“Yaaaay!!! I love you grandpa ‘En!”
“I love you too, babe, now show your grandkid what you got. I’ll… nap some more and join you later.”
———
“It’s funny, isn’t it?”
“Hmm?”
“Funny, how we are here, right now. Me and you, sitting on the porch, watching over grandkid, while our daughter and her mate grilling dinner in the garden…”
“How…is it funny?”
“My mistake, I meant to say I wouldn’t, in all my life, imagine I could have this: caring child, overactive grandchild and a loving mate.”
“…”
“When I first fell for you, or rather willingly admit my feeling for you to myself, I was in exile, body butchered and you have always been the sun. So bright, so warm, but the instant I get too close, I would burn up and scattered away. And then you reached out for me, and I realized ‘ huh, I didn’t burn up, and rather than the blazing burning sun on the skin, it was more of a molten lava running deep down under.’ And you love me, and keep reassuring me over and over and over again…”
“Delicia mea…”
“I love you, I love you. Long ago, I guarded my heart with all my light, from the scheming court, from the exploitative people I surrounded myself with, even from my siblings sometimes. And you reached deep inside of me, and took it out yourself, and for that it was yours. It has always been and will always be yours. My love, Sun and Moon of my life, my heart and soul will be yours forevermore.”
———
“Good morning, snookums, it was a beautiful morning today. The sun reminds me of your eyes a little bit.
Maybe it was you who painted the sky this morning, though I don’t remember you having painted anything ever in your life, but I still love you.”
———
“Good morning, babe. I love you again this morning, but too bad I haven’t joined you yet. Oh but it’s only a matter of time at this point, right? You’re not that much older than me after all.”
———
“I missed you so much. I wish I could see you. I wish I could open my eyes and you would be right next to me, looking at me with your golden eyes, saying that you love me. But you’re not here. So I am to be the one to say I love you. I love you, once upon a time, and up until this very moment I still love you. With every fibre of my body and soul I ache in longing for you, my love. But I know, you’re waiting for me, patiently as I am waiting for you. So just for a little bit longer, saying I love you like this would be enough for me.”
