#i think sylus deserves a short fat partner full stop (projecting)

[leighsartworks216]

Thinking about Sylus with a fat, short wife whom he loves so much. And she owns a cafe in Linkon, selling all sorts of treats and delicious drinks. It just also so happens to be one of Sylus' safe houses. Anyone can hold up there, use any of the guns hidden in the back, even just sit in a booth by the window and be safe. On the run? His wife will make sure they never follow you again.

MC knowing absolutely NONE of this. All she knows is Sylus is married and he loves his wife for how much he talks about her. So one day he takes her to the bakery, to introduce them and honestly just to see his wife; he misses her.

Sylus steps one foot into the door and MC watches in horror as the little lady behind the counter pulls out a gun from under the counter. Not just a pistol either, a full rifle. MC hides on instinct, maybe even goes to grab her own gun.

"Mr. Qin, you have a lot of gall coming into my shop!"

"Oh? Enlighten me, Miss, what have I done wrong this time?"

"You didn't give me my morning kiss!"

... huh? MC peeking her head out cuz what the hell is going on.

Sylus smiling like a lovesick fool as he walks up to the counter, unfazed but the rifle pointed right at his heart as he leans over the separator. "Allow me to make amends, Miss."

Sylus kissing her slow and soft. She's starting to smile now, but she still glares at him when he pulls away, prodding at him with the barrel of the gun. "And you know damn well it's Missus, not Miss."

"Are you going to threaten me again for it?"

"I've still got my sights trained on you, haven't I?"

Most everyone else in the shop is completely unfazed. Sylus pecks her lips once more before turning to MC's hiding spot and gesturing at her with an unimpressed look to come out. His wife puts away her own gun, safely within reach below the counter.

"MC, this is my wife. This is her shop, and one of Onychinus' best safe houses."

Idk I just think it's silly and funny. Wife being really passionate about her shop, too, so when MC implies it's just a front for Onychinus, she gets (playfully) offended because her cafe came first, thank you very much
