Prompt: Writer's Choice - Quiet Moment

[strongheartmaid]

Minako slipped behing Arago, wrapping her arms around his waist, resting her head against his shoulder. She said nothing for a long moment, not wanting to disrupt the rare moment of peace that descended on the couple. It had been a long day for the pair of them - her dealing with the ladies of the newly formed court and his dealing with the lords and other nobles from the territories in the Youjakai that he managed to conquer. Her sea green eyes drifted over his form and she smiled, yes, they had truly earned this fragile moment of peace. She allowed her hands to drift upwards, reaching for his helmet and carefully removing it. She set it aside, next to the golden throne his father had gifted him as a wedding present (although, gifted was an interesting word - considering that their union had been frowned upon by his father, but then Arago didn't care that she was not trained to be a noblewoman or that she didn't hold her tongue or simper as most would have expected, and so defied his father - causing a war, which, she was proud to note that Arago won). "What are you thinking about?" she asked finally.

"You," Arago said softly, turning so he could gaze down at his young wife's face. He ran a hand down her soft sea green tresses, studying her. "Of you only." He'd move the stars for her if he had to, anything to make her happy. He pulled her close, holding her tightly, almost afraid to let her go. He nearly lost her once - he did not want to lose her again (through only the grace of her guardian, Rajura, did she survive the night that had sought to steal her from him). Soon, as soon as that barrier that held him back from his ultimate prize was gone - he'd set about finishing what he started. After all, a woman such as her deserved only the best - and the best would be the rule over the mortal realm.

Minako hmm'ed and smiled up at him. "I love you, Arago," she said softly.

"And I you, my wife," he said, bending down to capture her lips.

I will confess that Minako is nowhere near canon - Arago had no love interests in the series (hell, no-one did since boys don't like romance). And I told my friend when I crafted her for the RP we were doing "I'm going to a special fandom hell for who she's paired with" but she's grown on me. If you need a visual for what she looks like - Michiru from Sailor Moon

I see. Nice image.

I had been looking at my icon folders at the time and poof, she made her way out and demanded to exist. So, I humored her - now she won't go away XD

Don't they all do that? Hee!

One of these days, I need to settle down and properly get her background from her (especially as to why the hell she adopted Seiji during his brainwashed stint)
