In no time, Davi finally stepped out of the bathroom. Her hair was wet and she looked like she showered in haste. Well, she was so worried about Sei and she didn't want to scare him anymore so her only choice was to quickly return to his side.
Davi's eyes fell straight towards the couch where she left him but when the man wasn't there, her brows knotted.
However, just as she was about to call his name, Davi was surprised to find him leaning on the wall beside the door.
"Oh, darling, I thought you went somewhere." Davi said as she faced him and when Sei looked at her damp hair, he suddenly held her hand, pulled her towards the couch and made her sit on it.
Davi just followed the man's movement quietly and when the man brought out the blow dry, Davi couldn't help but smile.
"Let me dry your hair." He said and Davi of course immediately positioned herself to receive the royal treatment from her dearest Sei.
That moment, as Sei dried her hair with all the care and gentleness of the world, Davi remembered this same scenario five years ago.
"I remember when you blow-dried my hair back then and I think you've improved a lot." Davi said with a proud look.
"Mm. I practiced by drying little Shin's hair sometimes." He replied and somehow, Davi imagined chibi Sei blow drying little Shin's hair and she couldn't help but swoon due to the fluffy cuteness in her imagination.
When Sei was done, Davi slightly tilted her neck when again Sei offered another royal treat.
"Let me massage your shoulders." He said and Davi blinked. But before she could reply, the man already started massaging her gently. Feeling Sei's hands on her shoulders, gently massaging her, she couldn't help but feel content. The touch of Sei's hands were just so amazingly soothing and warm and she felt all the stress weighing down on her shoulders, disappear. She felt that only in his arms could she feel like this. He was indeed her happiness, her strength, her everything.
"Where did you learn to do this?" Davi asked as she enjoyed the sweet service from her King, with her eyes closed.
"I read it in a book." He replied and Davi smiled as she praised Sei's massage skill.
"I see… you're good Sei. It feels really good…" she uttered and Sei's eyes twinkled blissfully.
After that blissful moment, Davi then stood up and she was about to tell him that she was ready to have the talk when again, Sei beat her to it.
"Are you hungry? Do you want me to go and get some food?" he asked and Davi finally realized that her king seemed to be quite worried and that was why he was doing all this extra work to coax her before confessing. Why was he so worried? What exactly did he do that he seemed to be so nervous? Was it really something so unforgivable?
Davi was wondering but somehow, this nervous Sei looking like he was about to confess a grave sin was so cute that Davi thought she was probably not going to be able to be angry at him no matter how unforgiveable his reason may be.
"Sei…" she then called his name as she stared at him seriously but gently. "It's okay, I'm not hungry," she said as she held his hand. She sat on the couch as she lifted her face, looking at him, conveying him the words 'I am ready to listen to your explanation'.
Noticing the look in Davi's eyes, Sei began to straighten his spine. He tensed up a bit but he seemed determined.
He opened his mouth but before a single word come out of it, he closed it again. Afterwards, the expression of the gorgeous tall man in front of her suddenly changed once more. He looked at her, then his gaze went up to the roof, out the window before coming back to rest on her face. Sei's palms were starting to sweat and his heart was beating wildly as if he was a little boy about to confess a sin. He took a deep breath in and gathered up his courage.
Seeing this Chibi Sei, looking like a puppy with big round eyes being so nervous to talk, Davi almost felt her blood gushing out of her nose. My god Sei! Just confess already! I'm afraid I'd pass out before I could even hear you out at this rate…
"I… that night you decided to come back and stay with us, I… I was just so happy that I went and…" Sei paused and Davi curiously waited for his next words. He seemed like it was so serious that Davi couldn't help but hold her breath as she looked at him expectantly.
"I got too excited at the thought that we could finally start over so without thinking about what it would mean, I went and burned the old contract and our marriage certificates. " The words rolled off his tongue so fast that the words nearly blurred together.
Davi: "…"
