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

Chapter 32

(Just a quick heads up, this is a long chapter.)

{A Month And A Half Later}

~Darius POV~

Alador made dinner. He put a plate down for Eber. He scratched Eber's head. Alador picked up the two plates from the counter and came over to the table. He put one in front of me and I pulled him on my lap.

"Hey!" He laughed. "Let me up!"

"Nope!" I replied.

"Please?" He asked.

"No." I answered. "I want you on my lap, Alador."

He sighed and put his plate down on the table and leaned his head back. He silently stared at me.

"What?" I asked.

"What do you mean 'what'?" Alador asked.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

"I have a question for you." He answered.

"Then ask it." I said.

"It's about us." He told me.

"Just ask it already." I rolled my eyes.

"Do you think we'll ever get married?" He asked.

I got anxious then just stared at him.

"Now you're looking at me weird." He noted.

"Alador." I said, sympathetically.

"What?" He asked. "I don't like that 'let them down easy' tone. It makes me anxious."

"You remember I'm a wild witch, right? And you're a coven witch?" I asked. "You remember that?"

"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?" He answered.

"Alador, it's illegal for coven witches to marry wild ones." I told him.

"It...is?" He asked.

I nodded.

"There aren't any loopholes either. Not one. It's impossible." I answered.

He looked at his wrist and thumbed at his coven sigil.

"I messed up..." He mumbled. "I mess everything up."

I grabbed his arm and lifted it close to me then kissed the sigil. Alador laughed softly.

"That tickles." He stated.

"I know." I said after kissing it a second time. "Now stop being sad and feeling down about yourself. You're making my boyfriend upset and I don't like it when my boyfriend is upset."

"I am your boyfriend." He rolled his eyes.

I kissed his cheek.

"Yeah and you're making yourself upset." I said. "Stop it. You didn't mess things up. We're just fine."

"But-" He started.

"No. Shh. Stop it. Stop upsetting yourself." I snapped. "So what if coven and wild witches can't get married, we still love each other."

"Yeah." Alador said. "We do."

I kissed his cheek again.

"Je t'aime." I told him.

"Je t'aime aussi." He replied.

"Now we should eat. Our food is getting cold." I suggested.

"Can I get up?" Alador asked.
