"Soon the two of us will be going to the capital. And when we live together, I really want to serve these noodles to her." Alvin replied enthusiastically.
"So, you two will be staying in the capital?" The chef asked again.
"That's right! Because the new academic year will start soon, we both have no choice but to stay in the capital."
The chef understood and became even more enthusiastic to teach him. And in less than an hour, Alvin was already very skilled at making noodle dough. The chef even praised his skill in cooking.
"Thank you for teaching me!" He said sincerely while giving him 5 gold coins.
Although he initially refused, Alvin continued to insist that he accept the money. And in the end the chef still accepted the money.
As soon as he left the restaurant, it was already dusk. Kazien and Alvin immediately walked towards the mansion.
"My dear, this is the most beautiful date I have ever had in my life! Thank you so much!" Alvin exclaimed happily.
Suddenly his exclamation made people pay attention to them.
"I'm so happy to see you happy like this! Whatever you want, I'll definitely do my best for you!"
Alvin immediately climbed onto his back and Kazien spontaneously held his body so he wouldn't fall.
"I love you so much!" He exclaimed while hugging Kazien tightly.
"I love you so much too, Alvin! Let's go home! I'll carry you until we get home!"
Alvin really enjoyed the firm back of his future husband. However, his index finger instead felt Kazien's chest. As if he was giving a sign and wanting something. Kazien became curious about what Alvin would say to him.
"What's wrong, Alvin?" he asked curiously.
"Are you happy on your date with me?"
"Of course I'm very happy! Today is a special day for me!"
Alvin smiled satisfied with the answer he heard. His hug also tightened.
At dusk and amid the hustle and bustle of the city, his heart was always filled with happiness. The first and unforgettable moment of their date would be an eternal memory for him. However, not for Kazien. He forgot to capture the moment of their first date.
Even though Alvin was so happy, I forgot to capture it. I was so caught up in the happiness. I should have acted correctly! After all, this was our first date.
Ah... I regret it so much. I wish I could turn back time. I really want to capture that moment in a photo so he can cherish it forever.
Kazien screamed in his heart. His negligence had made him regret the first date that should have made Alvin feel so happy. He wanted to cry. He wanted to scream. He wanted to hit himself in the face. But Kazien realized that time could not be turned back.
Alvin, forgive my negligence! I regret it so much!
The tight and warm hug that came from Alvin made Kazien feel even more guilty towards him.
Ah... I want to cry...
At night, Alvin was already fast asleep on top of his body. Kazien looked at Alvin's innocent face who was sleeping soundly.
He smiled softly, regretting not capturing their first date. Kazien was crying uncontrollably. His tears flowed silently, continuously wetting his cheeks. Slowly, Kazien wiped his own tears and fell into a deep sleep.
Morning had come and Kazien opened his eyes. He saw Alvin sitting on his crotch with a happy smile.
"Morning, Alvin!" He greeted softly.
"Good morning too, my dear! I am very happy with the gift you gave me!"
"A gift?" Kazien asked in confusion.
Kazien really didn't understand the gift that Alvin had just said so happily. And then, Alvin showed two photos in his left and right hands, making Kazien speechless, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The photo was of them feeding each other and drinking water with a forked straw.
Was this Goddess Nirfelia's doing? But I couldn't disappoint him. I'm sorry, Goddess Nirfelia, I had to pretend that I took those two photos.
"Do you like it?"
"I really like it! This is a moment that I will definitely remember forever. Our first date! I'm happy! Thank you very much, my dear!" Alvin exclaimed happily.
Mwah!
Alvin kissed her passionately.
"This is a good morning kiss and my thank you to you, my dear."
"Ah… That face filled with happiness makes you even cuter!"
Alvin smiled even wider with happiness.
Goddess Nirfelia, thank you so much for making Alvin smile happily like this. If only you weren't here, I wouldn't know what to do to always remind him of this beautiful moment.
"My dear, I will keep these two photos. And when the time comes for us to have a house, we must display them!"
"Hahaha. Okay! Keep them in your storage dimension. Someday, we will definitely display these two photos and also other photos."
After storing the two photos, Alvin immediately hugged him tightly.
"You are the best husband-to-be! You are truly the best! I love you!"
They both hugged each other for quite a long time.
"My dear, when is your birthday?"
"In 7 days! What is it, Alvin?"
Alvin widened his eyes and he didn't know what to give Kazien for his birthday. But, Alvin really didn't know what Kazien really wanted.
"What gift do you want from me?"
"Whatever you give me, I will accept it gladly."
"Just wait, I will definitely make something for you!"
Alvin stood up and walked out of the room with a smile. But before leaving the room, he turned around.
"I will focus on making something in the library! Please don't disturb me for a while."
Kazien could only nod in agreement.
Time continued to pass and Alvin rarely came out of the library. He only came out when he needed to take a shower or go to the bathroom.
"How is your food?"
"I have stored it in my storage dimension! Don't worry, my dear."
Alvin returned to the library. For six days, Alvin focused solely on what he was doing at the library. Kazien really missed that cute high elf's face. His whole family could only shake their heads when they saw Kazien always sleeping in front of the library.
As soon as he came out of the library, Kazien was already waiting for his arrival.
"Are you done?" Kazien asked to make sure.
Alvin didn't answer with words. However, he only answered with a big smile on his face. And Kazien understood that now Alvin was done.
"Let's take a bath together! I've missed you so much!"
"Yes, let's take a bath! I've missed you so much too!"
Kazien carried Alvin on his back and he walked to the bathroom.
"Alvin, when is your birthday?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Of course I really want to know!"
"Actually, I was born on the 27th of the seventh month, 877th of the Nirfelus calendar, just like you. Hehehe."
Realizing that their birthdays were the same, Kazien laughed quite loudly.
"Hahaha."
"Why are you laughing? What's so funny?"
"Hahaha. I can't believe we have the same birthday! No wonder you and I have such similar traits and personalities! But there's just one striking difference between us."
"What is it?" Alvin asked curiously.
"I can control my sexual desire, but you can't!"
Alvin pinched Kazien's cheek hard enough that he groaned in pain.
"Ouch! It hurts! Don't pinch my cheek like that, Alvin!"
"It's your own fault for saying something you shouldn't have!"
Alvin leaned his head on his future husband's right shoulder. And then he said: "At least until today, we have always complemented each other's shortcomings."
"Yeah, you're right! That's why I'm very happy to be your fiancé!"
"I'm also happy to be your fiancé, my dear!"
It was an unexpected surprise. Neither Kazien nor Alvin ever imagined that they would be born on the same day. And now, they both firmly believed that their destiny had been planned by Goddess Nirfelia.
The bond between them grew stronger and stronger. Uniquely, if they wanted to celebrate their birthday, they could celebrate it together.
While they were bathing together, Alvin took out a pair of beautiful gold bracelets that he had made himself using his alchemy magic.
Kazien was very amazed by the gold bracelets he was looking at.
"You were in the library for 6 days to make these bracelets?"
Alvin nodded and smiled widely at her.
"Wow! This bracelet is so beautiful! I love it, Alvin!"
Alvin put the bracelet on his right hand.
Click!
The bracelet automatically adjusted to the size of his hand.
"Hahaha. I never thought you could make a bracelet like this! I'm so proud of you!"
"My dear, please put it on for me too."
Happily, Kazien put the bracelet on his right hand.
"Happy birthday!" They said at the same time, followed by a hug.
The next day, Alvin's birthday, which was the same as Kazien's, had excited the entire Altavis family. And the whole family immediately wished them both a happy birthday. Even a birthday letter sent by Virena arrived a few days later.
