Happy to oblige.
Dirk’s Point of View
After finishing work, I headed home where my cute wife was waiting. Although it was a bit lonely not being able to return together, the thought of her waiting for me made my steps lighter.
"I'm home~"
"Welcome baaack!"
As soon as I opened the door, my adorable wife charged at me. The impact was so strong it felt more like a tackle, but I managed to absorb the force and catch her.
I probably should tell her to stop since it’s dangerous, but honestly, I love it when she jumps into my arms like this. As long as I can catch her, it's fine, right? So I never tell her to stop.
“… That’s quite the enthusiastic welcome, huh?”
“Diiiirk, listen to meeee!”
Wait a second, isn’t she tearing up?
"Diiiirk! Listen to thiiiis!"
"Hmm? Oka— ANGYAOOOS!!"
"”...……"”
"We should calm your Gyaos (growling stomach) first! I won't let you go hungry! Let's talk while we eat."
"… Ah well, I’m so sorry."
Damn, why couldn’t my stomach have better timing?
However, Rosarin had already given my stomach's growl a name—Gyaos. Please stop. I know it sounded like some kind of monster, but still!
I quickly picked her up in a princess carry and moved us to the living room. Thankfully, her tears had disappeared after my stomach growled. Phew, crisis averted.
"Alright, I’ll set you down, okay?"
I tried to set her down in her seat, but she clung to me.
"No. I want to eat on your lap."
This is... too cute.
Rosarin tightened her grip around me. After a long day of work, this was the best reward I could ever ask for.
Even though things had gotten better thanks to her, there were still people who discriminated against beastmen. I had to deal with several of them today, enduring their hostility.
"......… Is that not okay?"
Too. Cute.
My thoughts just flew out of my head. My wife asking me like this... She’s an angel! No, a goddess!
With her soft voice and tilted head, saying, “Is that okay?”—how could I refuse?
"Guuh…!? W-what’s wrong?"
"… Today, I want you to spoil me, Dirk. We're going to cuddle and be lovey-dovey!"
She clung even tighter to me. I turned my face away, trying to hide my reaction.
Too. Cute.
"… Alright. Let’s cuddle and be lovey-dovey."
I managed a smile and carried her to my chair, placing her on my lap as I sat down. She seemed a bit shy, which only made her more adorable.
I’m probably grinning like a fool right now.
“Dirk, say ahh.”
“Rosarin, say ahh.”
We fed each other while eating. Delicious food and my cute wife… the perfect combination!
Ahh, this is so healing! Fulfilling! I’m so happy right now! And Rosarin’s smile—so cute. When I cut a bigger bite, she looked up at me nervously, making it even cuter.
"Ehehe, I love you, Dirk!"
“Guh… I-I love you too… I mean, I-I really love you.”
I kissed her forehead. Damn, she’s too cute—I almost couldn’t hold back.
"Eheheh..."
How can my wife be this cute!? I rubbed my face against hers, which made her smile with pure happiness. I could feel how much she loved it.
“So, what happened today?”
She told me about her day.
So, Aldin-sama finally confessed, huh? He’d been trying to convince himself that Rosarin was like a sister to him, but he couldn’t deny his feelings any longer.
Rosarin seemed to feel guilty about turning him down. In the “game” she had told me about, Aldin-sama was supposed to end up with Rosarin… well, “Rosalia.” She was supposed to be the crown princess, not a marquis’ wife. Clearly, being a crown princess was a more prestigious role, with more influence.
Was I really the right choice for her? But Rosarin swept those doubts away.
"Miss Leticia probably didn’t mean any harm, but I have *great* taste! My Dirk is the world’s best husband! Compared to you, Aldin-sama is nothing but a rookie!"
“… Wait, that's what you’re upset about?”
Yes, that’s the important part! Rosarin was furious. She thought I was better than Aldin-sama. But really, Rosarin, you’re the one with questionable taste. He’s way more straightforward and pure than I am.
But still…
I’m really happy.
"That’s the issue! Dirk is my most beloved, most amazing husband!"
"…Yeah. And Rosarin, you’re the world’s cutest wife to me. My most beloved wife."
"Hehehe..."
Even if it wasn’t me, Rosarin could have loved someone else and found happiness. But that’s just a “what-if.” I’m not letting her go. I’ve decided I’ll be happy with her.
"So, why are you being extra clingy today?"
"I wanted to be spoiled by you to shake off the guilt, the third-wheel feeling, and the frustration of seeing you slightly downplayed. When you spoil me, I feel better."
"… I’m happy when you cling to me too, Rosarin. You can always come to me."
She’s such an adorable wife. She could cling to me every day, and I’d be fine with it. It’s not flattery or formality; I truly want her to.
"Oh, how about I give you a special treat. Tonight, I’ll sleep in full beast form. Want to brush me too?"
Her eyes sparkled. I’m so glad I’m a beastman. Even though others might hate me for it, Rosarin loves it, and that makes me proud of my fur now.
"I want to!"
Of course. She loves brushing and petting my fur.
I love it when she brushes me and gives me a massage too. It makes me purr, and afterward, she hugs me with the biggest smile. Heaven really is here.
"Ahhh… this is too much happiness…!"
I agree. I’m just as happy. She snuggled up to me, and I relaxed as she used my belly as a pillow. I love sleeping next to her.
"… Rosarin, I’m really happy when you cling to me too. Come snuggle whenever you want."
I gently licked her cheek. Ugh… she’s so cute. Her sweet, melted smile is simply irresistible, no matter how many times I see it.
“… Mm.”
Rosarin truly is the best wife ever. Though, afterward… well, I may have lost control after she kept pressing all my buttons. I overdid it a bit. But really, can you blame me when she’s this adorable?
Luckily, we arranged her classes so she could graduate without a problem. I did get a little carried away, though… if I wasn’t careful, she might not have made it through school.
With that in mind, I continued enjoying my precious time with my adorable wife in bed.
Even though I overdid it, she still smiled sweetly at me this morning. I’m so happy. And yes, I did make it to work. Thanks to Rosarin, I was more productive than ever, and I’ll probably be able to come home early today.
