I'm Closer Than You Think

The Time I Thought Was The Happiest

Wolfram's P.O.V

It's been six months since Yuri confessed his love for me and I've spent even more time with him than I used to. Ever since Yuri confessed, he's been surrounded by a warming aura that puts a smile on my face everytime I see him. It's as if a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders, allowing him to move more freely and not tense up like he had been doing for a while.

One moment that we will treasure for the rest of lives is the night we made love. We both had a little to drink but we were both sober enough to know what decision we were making at the time, and to be aware of what was going on. Maybe the reason we did it was because we just couldn't wait to start a family.

Today we are going to take Greta to the fields for a family picnic. I have to admit, seeing her excitement as she jumps up and down makes me feel excited. But I actually am deep down. Conrart and Günter are going to be a short distance away to give us some time to ourselves which I really appreciate.

Near the fields that we are going to is a small village with civilians. So we can count on not being disturbed by them. I've been there a few times for either trial runs or the order given by Gwendal to check out the place, and I've always found it a nice place, even though there are humans living there, but Yuri changed my judgements against humans a long time ago.

I climb out of bed and walk over to the wardrobe to get dressed. Yuri probably went to breakfast already. Oh how nice of him to leave me to over sleep. I put on my blue pants then my brown knee high boots then my white under shirt. I'm just about to do up the last three buttons of my shirt at the top when I feel warm arms wrap around my waist from behind. I can tell who it is straight away, I don't need to be told twice.

I lean my head back to rest it on his shoulder. "Good morning Yuri." I say with a smile.

He leans down and kisses me on the cheek then nuzzles my neck with his nose. "Good morning Wolf, did you sleep well?"

I turn in his arms and wrap my arms around his neck. "Yes I did actually. Did you?"

He nods then smiles. "I always do when you're next to me." I suddenly feel my cheeks fill with heat. I also see him blushing but he isn't trying to hide it like he used to. He's so cute when he blushes. He let's go of me to do up the last three buttons of my undershirt. After, he folds down my collar then smiles at me again. "I'm sorry."

I'm a little confused. What is he sorry for? He didn't do anything wrong. I tilt my head to the side a little to look in his dark black eyes. "Sorry for what?"

"For interrupting you in the middle of getting dressed." He says with a tone sadder than what it was before.

I chuckle to myself then cup his cheek. "Stop being such a wimp okay. It's nothing."

He smiles at me. Probably because it's weird for me to call him a wimp as I haven't done so for a while. He takes my hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. "Are you looking forward for today?" He asks changing the subject.

I nod frantically at him. I actually can't wait. I am taking time off of my duties to spend some quality with my beautiful daughter and my lovely fiancé. I don't think we have ever done that, spent time together as a family.

Yuri and I discussed about extending our family sometime in the future. So that one day Greta can have a little sibling to look after and love. If we were to tell her that I know she would be excited. But for now we are going to wait until we are older, which is more ideal.

After having breakfast we go to the carriage with all of the things that we will need for the picnic. Yuri and I hold Greta's hands. She is so excited, I'm afraid that she might just blow up. On the way down the path leading to the carriage we swing our little maroon haired daughter back and forth. This makes her laugh with joy until we reach the carriage.
