I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

The sun had yet to set but in Sei's warm embrace, Davi felt like his touches were soothing lullaby that was forcing her to fall asleep. She could feel that this was the first time they ever cuddled like this. His arms wrapped around her as their bodies shared each other's heat made Davi felt indescribable warmth and comfort. That moment, she felt like it was as if his embrace was the medicine she was seeking and she couldn't help but just close her eyes.

Sei on the other hand noticed her loud and fast heartbeats slowly stabilizing. Her warm hand moves around his middle before her warm breaths that were touching his skin slowed, indicating that she already fell asleep.

After that, Sei quietly breathed deep. Well, he felt that he overestimated himself. He embraced her with the sole intention of trying to warm her. However, the longer he felt her burning skin, scorching heat started spreading towards his body like unstoppable inferno. He felt that he was embracing fire and now he was burning along with her.

That moment, everything that he was feeling were like sun mercilessly trying to melt his ice-block-like rationality.

However, a couple of deep breaths, intense self-criticizing and thinking about his dear wife's situation were all he needed to boost his ironclad will to overthrow his fleshly desire.

Thus, as if he just turned into a lifeless immovable teddy bear, Sei remained as her personal thermal blanket for a long while until someone finally knocked the door.

Sei slowly held her hand wrapped around him and he was about to lift it when the girl suddenly hugged him even tighter as if she was trying to just keep him beside her. Due to that, Sei could only carefully slip his hand on his pocket and took out his cellphone. He doesn't want to wake her up since she just fell asleep so he sent a message to Zaki to deliver the food a later on.

Time went by and the night just came when Sei finally fell into slumber. Well, his exhaustion seemed to finally overtaken him. Him, spending a long time worrying to death about his wife actually took a large toll of energy in him that he felt like he just survived a day long battle of survival. Furthermore, him, cuddling with his wife like this was more than enough to make every storms within him to calm. To him, the piano was no longer his lullaby. Since Davi came into his life, she became his sleeping pill. She became the beat in his heart. And without her, Sei knew that his heart will never beat again.

…

An hour later, Sei opened his eyes and the first thing he did was land his palm on her forehead. But to his surprise, her temperature didn't drop at all. It was then that he remembered that she didn't even ate nor take medicine yet.

Thus, he immediately stepped out of the bed and took a stride towards the kitchen. The butler was still waiting for him so upon seeing Sei walking towards him, he heated the porridge before he gave it to him. The good butler also instructed him and Sei intently listened to his every word like a good obedient grandson.

After that, he then went back to their room and he began waking her up.

"Davi…" he called out her name but the girl just creased her forehead before she went back to sleep again. Sei felt bad waking her up but his worry was greater so he called her name again. But when she still didn't open her eyes, Sei began to gently shake her hand and she finally opened her eyes.

"You have to eat and drink a medicine." He said with worried tone and after blinking for a while, Davi finally uttered an "Mm."

Sei then helped her sit and he leaned her into the headboard.

Afterwards, Sei began to fill the spoon in his hand and lifted it near her mouth, causing Davi's eyes to widen.

"It-it's fine, I can do it on my ow---"

"Let me." Sei cut through her words. Well, apart from him trying his best to take care of her, Sei actually remembered that time his wife spoon-fed him. And he thought that he should do the same approach towards her to make her allow him feed her.

Thus, the next moment, Sei gazed at her and then he suddenly smiled as he spoke.

"Say ahh…" he uttered and Davi was instantly struck by invisible lightning.

His rare adorable killer smile and the sexy way he said those words made Davi felt like her nose was about to bleed. Well, she never expected this man to ever attack her like this, especially at this very moment that she's sick. Her fuse was literally overheating with his overflowing cuteness and it's making her crazy despite her being in such a sorry state.

Davi was completely dumbfounded and she couldn't even say a word. And for some reason, the scene where she spoon-fed Sei reappeared in her mind. The way he look at her, the way he smile and the he said it was obviously the same yet completely different.

'W-w-what is this? Is this what they called sweet revenge?!' she yelled within her the moment she remembered Sei being red like tomato due to his embarrassment that time.

Thinking about it, Davi started feeling like her face was burning. Not knowing that the man was actually starting to think that what he just did was not enough because of her lack of reaction.

Thinking that his move was a failure, Sei started thinking what made him unsuccessful. He then immediately replayed what his wife did to him in his mind that made him unable to resist her at all. And the moment he remembered her wearing a dazzling smile and her eyes blinking like stars in the dark night as she talked playfully, Sei suddenly fell disheartened. Well, he's doubting himself if he could ever do that, because what he did a moment ago was already his personal best. Moreover, he didn't have any idea on how to put a dazzle in his smile and put blinking lights in his eyes.

Thus, that moment, Sei found himself in the middle of a great crisis.
