He had never imagined something could feel this good.
But maybe it was because it was Gavi.
He wanted that to be the case—he didn't want to compare.
As far as he was concerned, Gavi was the only one his body ever needed to remember.
"Gavi… I, um… next time…"
"Mm, of course."
"…We could try for children sooner rather than later."
"Wha—?!"
Gavi's startled voice made Vaelrik laugh.
He felt like he could do anything, as long as it was for the one in his arms.
Nothing was scary, nothing was too difficult.

When Vaelrik returned home, his mother greeted him with an unusual amount of excitement.
He also cooked a special dish for him.
He didn't understand the meaning behind it, but the meal was delicious, so he gratefully ate plenty of it.

Vaelrik had been in a relationship with Gavi for about two months now.
Despite their busy schedules, they always made time for dates whenever their days off aligned.
