thinking about rafayel, who’s lover finally learns about their past.

"...you did that?"

Rafayel's words were dying on his throat. He truly, genuinely, had no answer to your question. How could he possibly explain why he did it?

More importantly, how could he explain himself for hiding it from you all this time?

It was a complete accident. Something that wasn't supposed to happen. He requested that you grab his newest paints, the ones he stored in the cabinet in his studio. They were in the front, far away from it. So how did you end up reaching so far back, enough for your fingertips to graze the shell?

He had no answers for that part. All Rafayel knew was that his wife froze at the cabinet. Your shoulders were tensing and your breath was short when he turned to glance at you. He stumbled out of his stool, immediately rushing to your side.

"No no no.." He whispered, grabbing the shell from your hands. "It wasn't supposed to be now. Come on honey, snap out of it!"

When you came back to, your eyes were wide, merely staring back at Rafayel. He dropped the shell, left completely speechless in front of you.

The truth was out. Rafayel couldn't hide this time.

"Rafayel.." You whispered, bringing a hand to gently carress his cheek. "Why would you.."

"It had to be done. I would have lost you if I didn't." He finally says as he clasps his hand over yours.

You shake your head, looking down as tears start to form. "But everything you had! Your life, your people, your home.. all of that is gone because of-"

"No."

Rafayel held you as the two of you fell to the floor. He cradled your head close to his chest as you gripped his arms like a vice, praying it was all some ugly dream. Praying that what you saw wasn't real.

But it was real. Rafayel had given you his heart at the alter, effectively destroying his whole life and his favor with the Deep Sea.

His voice was soft, soothing even. "It wasn't, and never will be, your fault. I gave you my heart on my own terms, all because I love you, my beautiful bride.”

"But what about Lemuria?" You finally question, glancing up at him. "You could have protected your people properly! Instead you-"

"Hey hey, it was my choice." Rafayel is quick to interupt you. "Lemuria's fate is my burden to carry, not yours. I will happily bear that weight if it means I get to have you by my side."

There's a heavy silence that hangs between the two of you. Rafayel doesn't say much, just some small "shh's" as he gently rubs your arm. The memories are still slowly flooding back in waves, the small details at least. But the longer it gets, the more you remember.

Then comes the dreaded question.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Rafayel's movement halts as he tries to formulate an answer. The truth? He wasn't prepared for all outcomes. What if you grew angry with him for what happened? What if you couldn't handle it and left him as a result? Every possibility of you leaving in the end was something Rafayel couldn't bear to face.

So he sighed, gently kissing the top of your head. "My love, every time I played out this conversation in my head, it ended in our marriage being ruined. I couldn't bear that thought being reality."

"But this.." You say, raising yours and Rafayel's intertwined hand. "This is reality. I don't condemn you for what you did, not at all. I vowed to remain by your side, no matter what."

It was like a huge weight had been lifted from Rafayel's chest. Sure, all the hurt will still be there. The nightmares will still haunt him. The hardships will hit him like a wave. The memories of betrayal and heartache will always be lingering in the back of his head.

But this time, his beloved can know every detail. You can truly help him through it all; help him feel as though he made the right choice. And that's worth more than being the Sea God to him.

So that night, while your asleep, Rafayel gently plays with your hair, smiling to himself.

"My heart is yours, my dear. In every universe, in every timeline, my life will be dedicated to you and only you." He whispers, sealing his promise with a gentle kiss to your head.

— minors dni, you may be blocked

thinking about rafayel, who is just completely obsessed with his bride, who isn’t technically his bride yet.

but that’s okay, he could change that later.

he’s completely devoted to you, in every way imaginable. he buys you only the finest of clothing, some part in purple to leave his mark. the most beautiful jewelry, a new piece nearly every week. his paintings, which always show some trace of your influence. every time he speaks with you, his eyes shine with adoration.

any chance he can get, his words are about you. those who know him definitely know you, even if it’s just your name. nobody can have a conversation with rafayel without hearing your name.

those days spent, just the two of you, he treasures deeply. no one is allowed to bother him during those days. no matter the activity, painting, sleeping, gaming, anything will make the day his favorite. rafayel just needs to be around you.

rafayel is completely obsessed with everything about you, including the more intimate details.

he knows every possible way to make you feel good. from the second he lies you down on the bed, your pleasure is on the forefront of his mind.

rafayel lives for the sweet moans and whimpers that escape your throat when he teases you. tantalizing touches as he strips you of the beautiful clothes you wore to his gallery that day. the laugh that escapes his throat is taunting as he watches you shiver under his touch.

but he can't help it, he loves seeing you like this. he loves knowing that there is no one out there who knows your body like he does.

he takes his time with you, slowly going lower and lower. and once he gets to that one spot he knows you want him at, his words do all the teasing for him.

"all of this, just for me baby? if i didn't know any better, i'd say you need me."

you can't retort, not when he finally plunges a finger into your sopping hole, curling it just the right way. rafayel relishes in the way your face contorts from surprise to pure bliss. he’s already framed your expression in his mind, to remember forever and always.

you practically beg for rafayel for more. how could he deny his beautiful bride anything? he adds another finger, speeding up his ministrations. soon, a third finger joins, hitting that spongy spot in your pussy so perfectly.

“there you go, princess. almost there. just a little more, my beautiful girl.” he whispers in your ear, practically pushing you over the edge.

as you cum on his fingers, he adores the way your body reacts to what he’s done. that’s right, only he can make you feel that good.

he’s normally so good at holding himself back, keeping his own pleasure at bay. but his pants were unbelievably tight, and he wanted, no needed, to be inside you.

“you can give me one more, can’t you? let me make love to you, my gorgeous bride.”

thinking about rafayel, obsessed with giving his bride the greatest pleasure she’s ever experienced.
