Partners In Crime(Dalador/Aladarius)[The Owl House]

Chapter 31

{Over A Year Later}

~Alador POV~

"That everything?" The saleswitch asked as I put down some things on the counter.

"Yeah." I said.

"Before I can ring it up, I need to see your coven sigil." They said.

"...I'm sorry what?" I asked.

"New policy from the Emperor's coven. 'Any witch purchasing supplies that can be used for making weapons must show their coven sigil'." They answered. "You are part of a coven, aren't you, sir?"

What do I do now?

"What seems to be the problem?" A coven scout asked, approaching us.

{A Couple Hours Later}

"Where were you?!" Darius asked as I went into the apartment.

He held my shoulders. Benjamin stared at him from a top my head.

"I got arrested." I told Darius. "For being a wild witch."

"How did you get out?" He asked.

"Lilith was there." I told him. "She let me out and said she'd say it was a misunderstanding."

{A Few Weeks Later}

~Darius POV~

It's been a little over 2 years since Alador and I moved in together.

I finished my most recent sewing project so I went into mine and Alador's room. Alador is hunched over his workbench.

~Alador POV~

"Hey, Babe." Darius said, leaning over my shoulder. "I completed that project. Wanna see it?"

"Sure. Give me a second." I said.

I crossed a couple wires in my invention so it didn't explode when I walked away.

"Okay. Done." I noted.

I turned around. Darius had on a lavender sundress. It's not the first time I've seen him in the dress.

"Looks great, my love." I told him.

He grabbed my hands and pulled me to my feet. He spun me around. I laughed and kissed him.

"I love you." I told him.

"I love you too." He told me.

We looked over. Ace had on a dress that matched Darius's dress. Ace twirled around a few times before stopping. Benjamin Rattington nuzzled with them. I think nuzzling maybe Benjamin's way of marking his territory. The two palismen jumped on my desk chair and curled up together. Benjamin was on Ace's back. I love that our palismen fell in love too. It just so cute.

I laughed and Darius held my hands.

"Your nail polish is chipped." He noted.

"What do you expect when I'm working with tools." I replied.

"Can I redo it for you?" He asked.

"Yeah, if you want to, I guess." I shrugged.

{A Little While Later}

I sat on the bed and quietly watched Darius as he painted my nails. He was slow and precise.

"There." Darius said.

"Thank you." I said.

"You're welcome." He replied as he capped the bottle of nail polish.

He kissed me.
