My Darling Husband, The Alien (Complete)

Silent tears

Chapter 6

Nessie

As the warm water cascaded over me, I broke down again. Its not that Kyier did anything. I'm mourning a life I never had. Choices I never go to make. A brother I may never see again. He doesn't even know I'm gone. He may not even care, but I would have liked to have the opportunity to find out myself. Kyier has been as nice as he can be, but its all too much. He looks so, well, different. Not that its bad, its just an adjustment. I briefly recall when he took his shirt off. That was a very male part I was used to. Aside from the coloring. it was the same as humans. I guess I could put more of an effort forward. Thinking on Pika, he has made great strides to make me feel welcome, maybe even wanted. I should ask him that. Why did he want me. He didn't have to pick a bride, pick me. Well. As much as I want to, I can't hide in the shower forever. I get out and stand under the venter to dry off. I slide on the barely there lingerie they chose for his new bride and just shake my head. It is pretty but not what I want for this night. I peek out of the door to see if he is in the room. He isn't, so I dash across the room and slide into bed. This gown covers nothing. Patches may have been better.

I settle in the bed and find a movie holo to watch. Kyier isn't back yet. I'm slightly happy but also feel a bit curious as to where he could be. I'm so conflicted. I feel like a willing kidnap victim. I didn't even get a 'thanks for serving the earth' badge. I huff and settle down to watch the holo I chose. Anime. A secret love of mine. 7 Deadly Sins.. I hug the pillow to my chest and wish for something warmer than this thin cover.

I watch several episodes before I hear the door slide open and Kyier enters. He walks over to the bed and pulls the covers back. I hold my section tightly to my chin. "Can I see how it looks on you?" I really want to say no but the reality is within the next few hours I will have to have s*x with him no matter how I feel about it. I let go of the cover and he slides them down. "It's perfect." I hear him utter under his breath

"Thank you. Thanks for making sure I had something to sleep in although this isn't my normal style." I look at the sleep pants he has. I'd love those and a t-shirt. He nods acknowledgment and pulls the blanket up over me as he slides into his side of the bed. He looks at the holo I'm watching and raises an eyebrow.

"What?!" I like it ok. " How dare he judge my show.

" Are you more a Meliodas lover or Ban?" He waits for my answer.

"Meliodas. You know this show?" I sit up, fully engaged now.

"When the war was going on, in downtimes a lot of humans showed us their favorite holo. This one made me laugh. Its a good holo to have.Do you feel better? He relaxed and got comfortable.

"I am actually a little chilly. This gown doesn't do much for warmth." I really was a little chilly.

"Tell the dullet how warm you want to be then." He said as if it were such common knowledge.

"The what?" What was he talking about.

"The dullet, the covering. It will do as you command. Tell it warmer or cooler. If you know the exact temperature you want it set at, tell it. It shall make it so." He looked at me like I was a child.

OK. Whatever. I guess I talk to blankets now. "Warmer. Please." Nothing happened and I felt pretty stupid. Until it actually started to heat up. it got a little warmer then that was it. So I tried again. " A little bit warmer please." It felt like it went faster this time. It was perfect. "Thank you.' I looked at Kyier. "Is this thing alive?"

"Yes and no. Its sentient but not a total creature. Its like an AI was woven into fabric. They are very handy. He rubbed it fondly. I wonder just how much it can process.

We laid in a comfortable silence, with occasional laughter watching the rest of the anime holo. At some point, I drifted off into a restless sleep. I had a dream I was being taken away and no one was helping me. I awoke screaming. Then I felt strong arms around me. I fought harder until I heard a familiar voice.

"Nessie what is it?!" Kyier sounded panicked as I came to realize where I was.

"Oh It was just a bad dream." More like reality. "I'm ok."

"Would you like to talk about it?" He smoothed the front of my hair.

"Just a fear of being in an unknown place. I'm sorry to have disturbed your sleep." I laid back down, figuring that would be the end of it. Next thing I know, he was pulling me closer to him. I tensed up. I wanted space between us.

"Let me hold you." He breathed into my ear. "Maybe you will sleep better." I highly doubted that. I obliged and laid there quietly until I heard his breathing even out and figured he was asleep. I tried loosening his arms from around my waist, but they were clamped tight. Much like my current situation. I was simply stuck with no where to go. I know that this was my fate, but I kind of wish something would happen to change it. I hate not being in control. The only control I had now was how soon I accepted this situation and how I reacted to it. I rolled back over and shed silent tears yet again for a future life that would never be until sleep took over.
