Alex was left speechless under Luna's gorgeous appearance; even if he was the one who suggested for she must change for their date, he was still surprised by Luna's change.
Since Luna was always casual with her dress and appearance, Alex now felt that her beauty was even more spellbinding when she cared about her appearance.
He was sure that if he walked outside now with her arms tucked in his, it would surely carry away the breath of both men and women of any age. She felt that no men were worthy enough to lay eyes upon her.
But he knew that no matter who or what she was, whether he was worthy or not, and whether she was angry with him or 6, he would never let go of her. He would be the greatest fool if he were to do something like that.
''You are the most beautiful creation under the moonlight tonight.'' Alex complimented.
Luna felt over the moon hearing his loving and sweet compliment. Her eyebrows which seemed as if they were brushed on a canvas, raised as her eyes smiled in happiness. She knew she must act like she was still angry with him, but she could not bring herself to do that because she could feel that Alex had changed; he seemed to have learned his lesson and would act cautiously in the future.
The Saintess knew she must listen to her man now that he appeared to have learned his lesson. So, to show him that she was happy with this, with all preparations he had made, Luna hugged him intimately and felt how warm his chest was. A strange feeling of absolute safety and warmth always filled her body whenever she was in his embrace.
The first time she felt this was when she asked to let him sleep with her for the first time when there were young, and since then.
Her attachment towards him developed at an abnormal speed, and it increased even more, especially after seeing him coming back and saving her from getting completely possessed by a strange entity that called herself the Goddess. Thanks to his intervention, she was rescued, while she was pouting, trying to make him act less recklessly in the future; she never forgot how dear he was to her.
No matter how short or long the time she spent with him, she felt as if she had been with him for decades, and a strange void in her heart would always be filled whenever he was near her.
She wouldn't feel complete without him, and his existence gave meaning to her life.
Alex kissed her forehead and smiled as he pointed towards one of the chairs put out near the table he had prepared, "Now, let's take a seat and have dinner.''
Luna nodded, and she quickly took a seat. She turned her head when the delectable aroma of the food Alex prepared wafted through her nose. After smelling it, she recognized that it was a salad as she liked it.
Luna was greatly impressed with how warm and beautiful the Illusionnary garden looked now with all the string star lights and candles, highlighting the beautiful flowers and plants even more.
Alex sat opposite her and asked with a charming smile, "It seems like you love what I have done; you like my surprise."
Luna gave a bright smile as she said, "Yes. It looks so beautiful, especially with the surrounding view. I feel very fresh and happy sitting here and having dinner like this. This is way better than going to those luxurious restaurants. I never thought you would do something like this; you're amazing; how did you do it?."
Alex chuckled, "Well, I got help from Silveria and Nyx. They knew you were unhappy with me; they decided to help me calm you down. I don't want to lose over some stupid mistake. I understand that I've done something wrong. I sincerely promise you that I'll change my behavior. I hope you'll forgive me for real this time.''
Facing Alex's sincere apology, Luna could only sigh and accept it. She would appear like a bully if she remained stubborn after all Alex did. He set up a dinner in the sky closer to the stars; with the help of Silveria and Nyx, he even created an illusionnary garden and benches. It was so realistic that, for a moment, she had trouble distinguishing between reality and illusion.
'He did all these things for me.Just to calm my anger. I can only accept and move on. Besides, it was not like I was truly angry with him. I intend to make him realize how valuable his life is. He must cherish it.' Luna was lost in thoughts; fortunately, Alex seemed to understand what she was trying to convey finally. Now Luna could enjoy spending time with her man, and the current situation couldn't be more perfect.
The two happily ate their food while lovingly gazing at each other's eyes, while at times, they would look at the scenic view in the sky; although there were only stars surrounding them, they still enjoyed it.
After their meal, the two spent their time together by watching the stars above them.
''Lex, have you contacted Lilith and the others to know how much progress they made in their mission?" Suddenly Luna asked this question as she remembered that Lilith and the others went on a mission on the demon's continent, and no news had yet to be heard. Therefore Luna became curious; she wondered how was their progress over there.
''Don't worry, they are doing fine. They will strike soon.'' Alex responded, not going into the details. He had thought Lilith would use the chaos he created to strike her brother secretly, but it was not what Lilith planned to do. Normally, he would have joined them, but she sent him a message saying she didn't need help, so Alex decided to enjoy himself with his women here before returning.
Their date under the stars continued until Alex gave Luna a pendant shaped after their name, Lû, and Lex. It was a beautiful necklace; Luna fell in love with it the moment she laid her eyes on it, and she urged Alex to put it on her neck. He did it, and the couple kissed under the moon and stars.
''Let's not sleep tonight,'' Luna whispered into Alex's ears, and he nodded with his breathing turning rough; it had been a long time since they last did it. Time to rekindle some memories.
