39 Chapter 37: Ill Be Back (2/2)

”Luther, she's going to try to find you too....just like she found me.....she's obviously not going to find you in Fresia since you're here” Ivery felt worried

”Hm...” Luther had a strong feeling that Ivery was right

”Then...I'll have to go back to Fresia until I receive the unfortunate visit, I don't want to lure her here to you, if she finds out that you and I are together then she'll find out that everything was faked” He sighed

”You'll be alright without me for a few days, right?” His fingers slowly ran through her hair

”I can take care of myself Luther, I already told you” She proudly smiled

”Oh, you can? So how did you end up like this?” Luther pointed at her with a smirk

”Miscalculation...” Ivery pouted as she pulled the covers up to cover herself

”Miscalculation? I'm certain it was because you decided to wander off by yourself” Luther sarcastically stroked his chin

”H-Hold on, I found the flower of youth and we weren't even in the Forest of Everlight for too long, that at least counts for something” Ivery tried to save herself

”Sure you found it but you were affected by it because you wandered off, now I might have to stop bringing you on missions if you're going to keep getting into situations like this” Luther deeply sighed

”Aww, Luther don't do that!” Ivery whined and pouted, looking at him with her sad eyes

”Nope, not going to work” Luther shook his head

Ivery batted her eyelashes and her big red eyes started to water.

”.....” Luther started to feel as if he was giving in to her obvious ploy

”Not working” He refused

Ivery looked up in deep thought....she smiled as she thought of something.

”Luther” She tapped his shoulder

”Hm?” He turned his head down to look at her

She unexpectedly kissed the tip of his nose.

”/////” Luther's cheeks and ears turned red

She planted a kiss on his cheek.

”Ivery..” Luther felt hot, unbearably hot

....

”Still not working” Luther smiled

”You're hard to budge” She huffed and crossed her arms

”It's not like I didn't like that though” His finger touched his cheek

”....” Ivery turned her head and blushed

”Prove to me that you can handle yourself, and I'll consider letting you go on another mission” Luther slid his finger down the bridge of her nose to the tip

”I will” She nodded

”I'll be back, be good while I'm gone” Luther leaned forward and kissed her forehead

His body disappeared into a black mist.

Suddenly the room felt cold without him...and a sudden sense of loneliness overtook her..

...

”Be the last person telling me to be good...” Ivery crossed her arms
