Chapter Text
If there was a single thing in the entire universe Le Comte could be sure of, it was his love for you. When he went to bed after an exhausting day and felt your warm body cuddling closer to him or when he woke up to your gentle smile. Seeing you everyday by his side made him happier than he's ever been in his long life.
“Try this one too”, he held another praline in his hand. You had been sitting in his lap in his room for almost half an hour, sampling everything he wanted you to. And just like with every other sweet, you leaned towards his fingers and tried it. His golden gaze never left you, carefully observing your face to find out which sorts you liked. It was honestly insane how much this man spoiled you, even going as far as feeding you tons of sweets just so he could learn which of them you liked, so he could order a year’s worth of them.
Of course you had to appreciate this. And that was the absolutely only reason why you moaned in delight every time or why you briefly sucked his fingers in your mouth (to get the melted chocolate, of course! It can’t just go to waste). Not because of the way his eyes darkened as you coyly played with his self-control or how his grip on your waist tightened.
Comte cleared his throat. You seriously had this man wrapped around your little finger. At this point of your relationship all you had to do was smile at him and he’d burn down the entire world if it made you happy. So seeing you acting all innocently seductive and nipping on his fingers? It made it hard to act like a gentleman (not to mention some other things that got hard as well).
As much as both of you loved and treasured each other, there were still dark patches in your relationship, Hours, or sadly even days, where screams and cries replaced the usual and well-loved laughter and smiles. Times where the whole house and its residents seemed to hold their breath, your disagreement poisoning the air as well as your hearts.
But both of you knew that this was only temporary, in the end you would always be together, happy and forever.
