Marius' gaze was fixed on the ants crawling along the curb as he spoke, his words tumbling out in a hurried manner as if he wanted to convey everything in a single breath. "I know it's not normal for two Alphas to be together, but… I like her. I sincerely like her. Her strength, her resilience and even her weakness… everything. That's why I want to cherish her. I can understand if you think it's weird but—"
"...Pfft."
Marius' words came to an abrupt halt, then he slowly raised his head, incredulous. "Did you just… laugh?"
Sorry for the delay ><
