[FF7] Those things after marriage

When Sephiroth came back, Esther was delighted...but besides joy, she hesitated.

She didn't want Sephiroth to see her like this.

There was a plaster cast on the knee, one leg was hung on a brace, the scrapes and bruises on the body were not completely healed, and the hair was a little greasy after not taking a shower for several days...

OTZ

What expression should she use to face Sephiroth?

For a moment, Esther even had the urge to let her unscrupulous boss tell Sephiroth that she had returned to her hometown.

But at this time, her husband can be by her side, and she can't help the sweetness in her heart.

When you like someone, you always hope that he can be by your side, especially when you are not feeling well.

...This is probably a common problem of girls in love.

I want to show my best side to the other party, but also hope that the other party will not leave when I am not so perfect.

Esther always thought that she could treat feelings rationally, but the more she got along with Sephiroth, the more she felt that it was much more difficult to be as rational as she imagined.

It seems that her journey of cultivation is still long.

Because of this complicated shyness, Esther didn't look up at Sephiroth's face when he entered.Therefore, I missed the other party's rare moment of 'changing face'.

When Esther finally turned her head to look at Sephiroth, his face had returned to normal, but his expression looked...a bit serious and scary.

The silver-haired man silently took out something and held it in his hand, and then a soft white light fell on Esther.

It is obviously a cold light, but the white light shining on the body makes people feel warm. I don't know if it is an illusion. I feel that I am illuminated by such light, and I feel comfortable on my body, whether it is a sore bruise or a blood scab. The tight scratches seem to have gradually disappeared.

Although I don't know what it is, but the effect is really great... I don't know if Sephiroth will take care of her for a while every day until the injury is healed.

But it would be too greedy to think so.

Esther accepted the white light lazily, and fell into a dream unknowingly.

When I opened my eyes again, the bedroom had already been sprinkled with a layer of golden yellow by the afterglow of the setting sun.

I feel... I slept very comfortably, and after waking up, I didn't feel the stiffness caused by keeping one position all night.

The legs are not so numb anymore, it's almost as if there is no plaster cast...?

Esther sat up abruptly, and lifted the thin quilt covering her body.

Although there are still bandages on the knee, the eye-catching and uncomfortable plaster cast has been removed, and the exaggerated swelling above the knee is no longer there.Although there is still a slight discomfort, it is not known how many times better than before.

Wait, did she sleep for two months! ?

"Are you awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Sephiroth came in with the still steaming soup.

"……This is?"

It didn't smell like your usual mushroom soup or corn chowder.

"Looks like... bone broth? They say you need some calcium."

'They', of course, meant some nosy redhead.

"...That's it."

Her mother seems to have said the same thing before, when she bleeds, she needs to replenish Qi and blood, and her bones and hands need to be supplemented with calcium...

"So I asked the chef in the cafeteria to make soup. Drink it while it's hot?"

Sephiroth sat on the edge of the bed, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then took a spoonful of soup and handed it to Esther who was sitting on the bed, looking at this posture, it seemed that she was about to feed her.

=mouth=! ! !

"Don't you want to drink?"

Seeing that Esther didn't respond, Sephiroth froze for a moment.

"But it won't taste good when it's cold."

This is not a problem that it will not taste good when it is cold...

For a moment, Esther even felt that she might die from a too fast heart rate.

Although not obvious, but the ears are also flushed.

It should be rejected, after all, it seems too intimate... No, no, it shouldn't be taken for granted that they are husband and wife.

Two completely different thoughts in Esther's mind began to wrestle.

After a fierce struggle, the idea of ​​wanting to be close to each other finally prevailed.

Esther swallowed, and grabbed the extended spoon in one gulp.

What to do when you suddenly feel so happy!

Esther drank the soup in the bowl carefully one bite at a time. Although she had no taste at all, she believed that this was the best soup she had ever had.

After the happiness passed, she remembered the question she originally wanted to ask.

"Sephiroth, my injury..."

"I used the healing magic stone and the healing technique to help you heal. Although the knee injury needs to be recuperated, it is no longer a serious problem."

"..." That white light turned out to be the legendary magic!

It is a skill that can only be released with the special item 'Magic Stone' that can only be used by people who have soaked in Mako.But because the number of magic stones is very rare, only a very small number of special forces are qualified to use it.

So even though it is also in the Shinra company, it is still a legendary thing for ordinary people like Esther.

She really didn't expect that she could personally experience that magical existence in her lifetime.

... Is this also one of the benefits of being married to Sephiroth?

The bruises and bruises on her body have completely disappeared. Esther moved her injured leg. Although there is still a subtle soreness and dullness in her knee, she can indeed move normally. When walking, put more weight on the other side. If it is on one leg, it is estimated that even crutches are not needed.

...Magic, really is a magical existence.

It seems to be a rare discovery of conscience that Esther's difficult boss did not assign her any work today, so after eating, Esther was free.

She leaned on the wall and walked into the bathroom slowly, and then took a quick shower, especially for that wheat-blonde waist-length hair, which she rubbed vigorously three times before giving up.

After taking a shower and walking out of the bathroom, Esther turned on the TV habitually.

The news of Shinra Corporation was being broadcast on the TV. First, it was the news that Barabara had killed a bunch of 'terrorists', so that the citizens should not panic, and then it was the news of the victory from the front line of the war.

Sephiroth's brave performance was once again used by the media to publicize.

What is the key to victory or defeat, heroes, phenomenal special forces...

A mess of adjectives were assigned to that person.

...It's as if I want to use up all the praises in this life at once.

Shinra really never forgets to promote it, and I don’t know if it paid Sephiroth copyright tax and appearance fee.

Esther sat on the edge of the bed and wiped her wet hair, thinking aimlessly.

Sephiroth has not come back after being called to make a report, and Esther can only watch TV to pass the time now.

But it always feels...unbelievable.

This man is his husband, and he was seriously feeding himself soup just now.

Looking at the image of Sephiroth on the battlefield on TV, Esther felt inexplicable emotions welling up in her heart.

This is something she never thought about.

Destiny is really amazing.

When Sephiroth came back, Esther was writing a report at her desk.She is busy every day, and she is a little uncomfortable when she is suddenly idle.

But at this time, work was obviously not as important as the man, so Esther decisively threw the report and went to her man.

After the other party came out of the shower, Esther took a big towel and helped him wipe his beautiful silver hair.Although he is a special soldier, his hair quality is better than his own.

The long silver hair is smooth and neat, and it hasn't split ends... It's really enviable.

With her hair almost brushed, Esther decided to do a 'feat'.

She moved her position, shrunk her body and leaned against Sephiroth, and with her length, she just leaned against the strong chest of the other party.

"In the end what happened?"

Sephiroth asked softly.

"that……"

That's not really a topic worth talking about, but since the other party is Sephiroth, she doesn't have so many thoughts.Esther recalled for a moment before slowly opening her mouth.

"I was actually pushed down by someone... I can't say it was intentional, it can only be said that it was unlucky at the time."

Esther explained the situation to Sephiroth word by word.

"When I fell down, I thought I was going to die... Then my knee hurt, and I couldn't stand up because of the pain." Esther buried her head in Sephiroth's arms with some embarrassment, and said in a rambling manner Reflecting on his own experience at that time, "At that time, I fell on the 4th floor. If the attacker rushed up or used a bomb downstairs, maybe I would really be doomed."

Speaking of what happened at that time, Esther still has lingering fears.

If Zack hadn't appeared, she really didn't know what would have happened afterwards.

"I really can't be a good person indiscriminately in the future."

The silver-haired man held Esther's hand tightly, then raised his left hand and stroked Esther's back in a comforting manner.

"When encountering such a thing, you just need to protect yourself." The man's voice was soft, "Whether you run away or hide, take care of yourself first."

It's up to you to live.

Sephiroth did not say such words.

He now understands that there are other feelings that people often say about intimacy.

He didn't feel anything before.After all, as a soldier, taking lives is only one of his jobs.If anyone around him dies, he will only feel a little regretful.But these feelings never last long, and some are even fleeting.

But Esther was different.

He would rather die a hundred 'others' than Esther.

This way of evaluating is not correct, but he doesn't want to change at all.

"I think so too... Things like saving people should be left to capable people."

She will never forget this experience, and she really doesn't want to put herself in crisis because of strangers anymore.
