Date Night

Shuriken didn’t know why she kept putting their wedding off, it certainly wasn’t because she was uncertain of her decision. More than anything she wanted to share her life with Remus. He was her knight in shining armor, he was her other half, he completed her in ways she never could have realized on her own. That was far from her problem, she knew that she was getting too caught up in the pomp and circumstance. She was the crown princess, she was second in command to her Empress mother, but deep down she didn’t feel as though she deserved such a title. She still felt like the young underprepared puppy she had been years ago. However much she had actually grown.

Thankfully Remus was incredibly understanding, much more than he should have been. The day had been blessedly normal, going about their duties as usual, at least until it was time to start winding down at home. Instead of heading to their caverns Remus led her further into the ravine. She couldn’t help the confused look on her features as they went, but she trusted whatever he had in mind. She thought they were headed into a wall of foliage until he pulled away the shrubbery to reveal a simple little oasis. Surprise overtook her as she lifted a couple of pale brows. When did he have time to prepare this?!

His explanation was perfect and her features softened as she drew closer to him and pressed her forehead to his. Remus always knew exactly what she needed. There weren’t many words needed between them, and she offered him a grin as he gestured for her to make herself comfortable as he finished setting the scene. The furs were soft and warm as he lit the candles and offered her a portion of dinner. So reminiscent of their time on the beach what felt like ages ago.

"You’re much too sweet,” she told him as she gazed up at him lovingly. For all her faults he still loved and supported her. How could she not adore him so?
