Author's Note

As promised, this is the final chapter to the story! I apologize if this note goes a bit long but please bear with me. Thank you all so so much for all the love you have given to this story, I love sitting and reading the comments you guys leave after each paragraph. I never thought this story would get all the attention it did, and it really makes me so happy. I found out that my favorite cosplayer has maybe read my story and that makes me so incredibly happy that all of you have enjoyed what I've written. I really do want to write another story so if anyone has any other ideas PLEASE let me know in the comments. I will possibly come back to this story to write fluff and smut chapters here and there, but the main story is done. If anyone has any questions or anything I will try my best to answer :) Thank you all so much for reading <3 (Also this chapter is a bit lengthy).

Alhaitham's POV

I woke up with my alarm blaring in my ears, my eyes shooting open as I realized what was going on. I could hear Kaveh muttering and swearing under his breath as he turned over, grumbling about how loud my alarm was. I sighed, it was so early the sun had barely risen outside but I needed to go to work. Since taking the job of Grand Sage I have gotten up every single morning, working myself to the bone. I had to remind myself that Kaveh and I weren't living a fairytale. We were normal people who survived extraordinary circumstances. I reached my arm over and flicked my leaf alarm clock, silencing it in a moment as I sat up in bed and ran my fingers through my hair. I glanced to my left, expecting to see Kaveh asleep again but to my surprise he was sitting up right beside me.

His chest was exposed and his blonde hair was a mess as it fell down his shoulders, marks all over his chest from what happened between us last night. A small smile appeared on my lips as I remembered the sounds he made for me last night, sounds I had missed more than anything. His lips were slightly swollen and a deep red color from how long we had been kissing for last night. I couldn't let him go, I realized how much I was throwing away when I got my memories back and I needed to savor every moment I had with him.

"Good morning."

My voice was husky, words leaving my lips for the first time this morning as I reached my hand around and grabbed his shoulder, pulling him close to me as I leaned in and planted a small kiss on his swollen lips.

"Mmmmm."

He whispered, returning the kiss back as he slowly traced his fingers over the muscles on my right arm. I shivered from the touch, he still had sharp nails, nails that had left marks on many other places beside my shoulder.

"How come you're up this early?"

I whispered, leaning in so I could plant a few gentle kisses on his neck. I heard him let out a small whine as he tilted his head up towards the ceiling, letting me kiss further around his collarbone. Usually when I woke up this early he would groan and fall back asleep, and I would see him several hours later whenever he decided to drag himself back to work.

"I couldn't let you leave me."

He whispered, letting out another small gasp as I bit down on the flesh where his bone was, smirking to myself as I heard the gasps coming out of his mouth.

"You know I have to go to work."

I whispered in his ear, bringing my lips forward so I could bite the top of his ear lobe, ever so slightly.

"No you don't."

"Oh Kaveh, I would love to stay home with you but they'd have my head if I missed today. I have to go."

"No. I'm saying you don't have to go to work today. Not today and not ever."

"What?"

I gasped, pulling away from his neck in an instant as I fixed my eyes on his. He returned his neck back to normal and ran a few fingers through his blonde hair, trying to comb it as it fell down his shoulders. Kaveh took a deep breath and leaned against the headboard, crossing his arms above his head so I could see the entirety of his chest. He wasn't exactly making it easy to pay attention to whatever was about to come out of his mouth.
