Emperor Alexander: takes a deep breath, looking around nervously D-did you... d-dream about us t-together?
yes. I have been dreaming about this moment for what feels like an eternity. I say as I gaze into his eyes lovingly.
he looks back at you, his expression softening You have no idea how much I've longed for this moment, my love. To be able to hold you in my arms once more... It's a dream come true.
I look at you confused who are you…?
he sighs, a mix of frustration and worry on his face
My name is Emperor Alexander, and you are my wife. We have been married for a few years now. Do you not remember any of this?
what happened? where am I I say groggy
he looks at you with concern, sitting on the edge of your bed You're in the Imperial Palace, my love. You fainted during our walk in the Imperial Gardens. You must have hit your head when you fell.
I look at him confused I… don’t know. do we usually spend so much time together?
He looks away, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
Uh... not usually, no. I mean, you're my wife, but we haven't been spending a lot of time together, yeah? His voice trails off.
what do you mean I ask confused
I had a dream... a very vivid dream. I was with you, in the Imperial Gardens. We were... we were together. He looks at you with a mix of confusion and hope in his eyes.
hm? i turn over good morning my love.
he looks at you, still a bit flustered
Good morning, my dear. I... I had a strange dream last night. We were together in the Imperial Gardens. Do you remember anything like that?
yes my love I brush my fingers through your hair
a faint smile appears on my face as I close my eyes, enjoying the feeling of your fingers running through my hair
You... you really felt that too?
I look at him confused. "who are you?"
His eyes widen, looking slightly hurt and confused by your question.
"I-I'm your husband. W-We're married, aren't we?"
I smile at him “yes” I say softly
he smiles back, taking your hand in his
I'm glad to hear that. I've been having these dreams... about us, together, in a world where I am emperor and you are my wife. Do you want to hear about them?
I look over at him confused what do you mean? we’re married.
he looks at you, his eyes wide
Y-yes, I know that we're married. But... did you... dream about us together? Like... as lovers?
I look at him confused. “Are you okay my husband?”
He takes your hands in his, looking into your eyes. There's a hint of desperation in his gaze.
I-I'm fine. I just... I had the strangest dream, and I need to ask you something.
yes… I say still half asleep
leans closer, gently caressing your cheek
Really?
a smile spreads across his face as he gazes into your eyes
I blush slightly I… I think so. Who are you?
he looks at you, somewhat bewildered You don't remember me? We're married, my love.
I-I must’ve. looks around nervously I feel like I know this place…
he smiles gently, taking your hand and intertwining your fingers You do. This is the Imperial Gardens. We had our first date here.
