Pimples Included

A/N: This is the sort-of sequel to Human Imperfections. Please let me know what you think after reading! Point out any grammar mistakes a typos, please! I'd really appreciate that.

Molly, after a hard day's work, snored silently in the comfort of her bed, buried among her five pillows. Working past 9pm was not her typical schedule but her finances demanded it.

At the far side of the house, a god materialized into existence with a flurry of lights. Ignis, the Harvest King had married Molly, a lowly human. Even though, initially, Ignis despised humans because of their selfish nature, Molly was an exception.

"Hnnnn…" Molly exhaled deeply.

She had told him that he still had a lot to learn about humans. What he knew only came from Molly and sometimes, her knowledge wasn't as accurate as she thought. She was only human after all.

Though, a very beautiful one, in Ignis's eyes.

Careful not to wake her, Ignis levitated silently to her bedside, gazing at her sleeping form.

A glow of blue illuminated the room, telling Ignis that the Harvest Goddess had arrived.

Her hands held a small black round stone talisman with ancient hieroglyphics engraved into it, as some sort of spell.

"Are you sure about this, Harvest King?" the Harvest Goddess said through telepathy, with concern in her blue eyes.

"Yes, I'm sure," Ignis replied back with his mind. "If I have to learn more about these…humans…this is the best way to do it. Please take care of the land without me. I will be a part of it, after all," he gave her a half-smile.

"For once, I want to let go of my responsibilities and be with Molly. If just for a week..."

Ignis gave Molly one last glance to make sure she was still sleeping, and took the stone talisman into his hand.

As his powers drained from him and went into the talisman, his bright fiery hair turned a more normal orange-blonde, his sharp, crimson eyes turned a mellow black, his gold jewelry and robes shifted into comfortable sleeping clothes, and the bodily glow of his power disappeared into the talisman.

The Goddess watched in both worry and awe. She wondered if she would be alright taking care of the land all by herself and if the Harvest King would also be alright. He surprised her when he made his decision, which was brave of him.

As a result of all his godly powers being contained in the talisman, it turned from black to a glowing red, making it look like a piece of glowing charcoal with letters carved into it. Ignis relinquished the talisman to the Goddess, who gave a reassuring nod, and disappeared with a soft blue light.

Ignis wiggled his fingers and toes and felt his hair, making sure that his new, human body worked perfectly. Smoothing his pajamas, he awkwardly climbed over to the vacant side of the bed.

Because a god wouldn't be used to awkwardly climbing onto a bed, his leg bumped Molly's leg and banged loudly on the footboard of the bed.

Instinctively gasping and looking at Molly, Ignis cringed when Molly sleepily moaned "Whu…?"

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Molly peered at Ignis through the darkness.

"I'm sorry," Ignis awkwardly whispered. Molly shrieked.

Fumbling with the lamp switch before the trespasser could attack; Molly grabbed her axe from under the bed and raised it, ready to attack.

"Molly! Molly, it is I, Ignis. Calm down," he raised his hands in defense.

You calm down too, Ignis, he told himself. Molly is merely acting on impulse, instinct that all living things have. She thinks I am a threat and is prepared to defend. An animal-like instinct to try to live as long as possible…which explains the axe under the bed. A quick downward glance showed that she also had her hammer, sickle, and a frying pan under her bed.

Molly stared at him with a confused face and slowly lowered her axe.

"Ignis?" she said. "What…?"

"Come and let me explain," Ignis beckoned with a nod.

"Explain what? Breaking into my house at night?"

"We are married."

"We live separately!"

"Molly…"

"Do you know what time it is?"

"Thirteen and a half minutes past one in the morning. Now come and let me explain."
