"Humility is not one of my many virtues."

"My! Neither is modesty, it seems."

Munto shifted in the bed to glare at Yumemi. She was already on her side, her hair spread out behind her across the pillows. She giggled and scooted closer to Munto's chest.

Instinctively, Munto threw his arm around her waist and pulled her tight. He huffed dramatically. "And here I thought my wife would agree with me, at least."

Yumemi pat her hands against his bare chest. "Now, I wouldn't be a very good wife if that's all I did, would I?"

Munto's chest rumbled with a growl. "Never have I met someone as insubordinate as you."

Yumemi pulled him even closer. "Isn't that what you like about me?" He pressed his face into the top of her head. Yumemi could swear she felt some heat coming off his cheeks.

A beat.

"You did not answer by previous question."

Yumemi hummed, burying her face into his chest and pretending to go back to sleep.

"Hey." Munto said as he squeezed his grip on her hip lightly. "You cannot run from me. You already married me."

Yumemi groaned and shifted away, propping herself up with her elbows to fully look at her husband. "If you're talking about your suggestion from earlier, the answer is no." She punctuated her sentence by flopping back, face down, into the bed.

"Yumemi," Munto whined softly, pulling her into his embrace once more.

"Don't whine," she grumbled into her pillow, "You're a king. And, the answer is obviously no."

"It would be magnificent," he whispered as he ran his fingers through her hair, "You will have a wonderful time."

Yumemi peeked up at him. She sighed before propping herself up once more. "My love," she started softly, running one soft hand down his chest, "You do love me, right?"

"Of course." Munto rubbed circles into her back.

"You trust me, correct?"

"With my life," Munto answered instantly.

"The trust me when I say," Yumemi took a deep breath, "I do not want a week-long festival celebrating a pregnancy." Her voice was tight and she sent Munto a dangerous smile.

Munto pulled her toward him, and she fell onto his chest. "A royal pregnancy. I will settle for nothing less extravagant."

Yumemi rolled her eyes. "One evening."

The two stared at each other. Though he would probably never admit it aloud, Munto finally gave in first with a sigh. Yumemi bit down a triumphant grin.

"Three nights then."

Yumemi groaned and buried her face into his chest. "I love you, you oaf," she said before closing her eyes to finally get some sleep.

:') Thanks all for sticking around!
