Actually tonight he had nothing really planned besides a few simple things. The rare flowers he had been working on getting a hold of for years. It was in the last month or so that he found somewhere that seemed able to grow them. With Mizuki starting to go back to working on things it kept him busy so it made keeping any plans he had for tonight a secret. Not that Mizuki didn't have enough on his mind as it was. So really he didn't even bother hiding things, if he had it probably would have tipped it off more.

Though as Mizuki spoke he remember Thalion smirked a little. "I remember every year, I just never get the chance to act on it.." It was true. Sadly it was very true. Most of the time being too busy or the more recent years... He didn't want to think about any of it. It was part of their past that they had to live with and he was going to try to make Mizuki look forward to things again. Sure the one before him had improved but it was still far from being the same Mizuki he knew all of these years.

Things might never return to that way but he would live as long as he knew the other was happy in some way. Though as Mizuki kissed him lightly and pulled back after he watched the other for a moment before Mizuki seemed to speak again. "What I didn't have to do and what I wanted to do are different things. Besides you keep worrying yourself with work that needs to be done and we've gone back to hardly seeing each other again." Mizuki was going to have his time that was for sure.

Probably whenever Mizuki set up things like this he threatened a little but not like Thalion had done. No he said if anything bothered him or Mizuki tonight whoever that person was would wish they were never born. Ok it was a bit more colorful then that but none the less he was pretty sure he had made the point rather clear. Besides that things were rather peaceful at the moment so nothing should just come up out of the blue.

"No you don't. You need some time to just relax too you know." After everything Mizuki more then needed it. Though this was when he was about to say he was going to leave him to his bath. He had gotten use to that by now, pretty much leaving the room whenever Mizuki was dressing or undressing. This seemed to help keep Mizuki calm instead of him tensing up.

Though Mizuki seemed to stop him as he asked a question about the time he was going to turn and leave. Well that was a odd question. "How could I not?" Though he didn't leave it at that. "You are still the same person I fell in love with and married. I keep telling you this." It was true he always reminded the other that no matter what he loved and always would love Mizuki. Even with the doubts in his mind that things would ever return to being normal let alone what if the spell didn't break after all was said and done. None of the mattered as long as he knew Mizuki was safe.

Though the next actions from Mizuki was not something he was expecting as the other seemed to undress right there. Honestly he wasn't sure what he should be thinking. It had been so long when he had last seen the other exposed like this, plus the changed form. He didn't want to say anything fearing that he would insult the other saying any comments about how he looked now. What his hair didn't cover was a few spots that reminded him that through it all this was still Mizuki no matter what form he was in. A few scars that had been placed on the body by himself, they were still there. Reminders of everything that they had gone through before this. Things would get better.

Though the slight daze of thoughts he had was broken as he felt the light hand against his arm as the other walked past before getting in the water. Though any thoughts of leaving were out the window by now as Mizuki laid back in the tub before looking over to him and speaking. He nodded a little with slight smile. "I know.." It had been a while when he last heard those words too. Even as things progressed and got better they were said from the other too few and far between.

Moving finally he sat on the edge of the tub before looking down into those eyes that he loved so much. "Is it wrong to say you are still beautiful to me?" He hoped not, in his mind it was still Mizuki no matter how the figure looked, deep down it was still the same person. Though Mizuki seemed to answer no, even if it was a hesitated one. That was good because it was true, a few times Mizuki had gotten in a way saying Thalion hated him now because he was female. Hardly the case when in his eyes Mizuki was still Mizuki, no matter the gender he was still attracted to the one before him and loved Mizuki all the same.

The bath was a long one, or asking Thalion it was. Though Mizuki always took long ones so that was nothing new. After a little bit though Thalion ended up helping the other and washing Mizuki's hair. Even after the bath he kept to pampering the other and brushed Mizuki's hair. It was odd actually, for how Thalion acted you would never think he would be good at simple things like this or the minor details he seemed to retain. But actually he was good at this. Though he didn't bother with braiding Mizuki's hair. He knew how after watching the other for so many years but his expect was he never got to see it down anymore and it was just going to be the two of them anyway.

This in turn lead to the small dinner he had planned out. Nothing complicated but that was because he ha d second guessed if Mizuki even liked the same things from before. Either way it was nice to just sit with the other and talk for a change. Let alone a relaxed talk, one where he wasn't expecting Mizuki to freak out at any moment. He always knew when the other was about to due to the link that they shared but for now things seemed to be more then peaceful.

After dinner was when Thalion said he had a request. Mizuki seemed to tense as Thalion smiled a little. He wasn't going to ask that, he knew what Mizuki was thinking. No he waved off the sudden tense feeling from Mizuki as he got the other to go to the bed. "I just wanted you to lay down, you can leave your clothes on if you want even." After thinking a moment Mizuki seemed to comply and he laid down on his stomach on the bed as Thalion had asked him to do.

He didn't go over the top like Mizuki had done before with the special oil but Thalion was pretty sure that the other was just going to leave his clothes on anyway. None the less he started rubbing Mizuki's neck and working down to the lower back area before repeating this process slowly a few times. Steady hands worked through each motions. Not applying too much pressure as he felt Mizuki relax a little more after starting.

Sure it would be easier to do without the fabric in the way but he wasn't going to say anything. After a little while he noticed Mizuki seemed to shift a little getting more comfy then the position he was in previous. Though this exposed the side of the other's neck a little more as Thalion moved a little daring to do this and being hopeful that Mizuki was relaxed enough not to freak out.

Kissing the side of the exposed neck lightly before he spoke softly near the other's ear. "You can go to sleep if you want, I know you haven't been sleeping well." The other woke up at least once a night if not more. He knew this because over the past months they had gone back to sleeping together in the same room. Mizuki would wake up half screaming or in a cold swear and Thalion would end up being woken by this as well before pulling the other close and getting him to calm down as best as he could.

Besides that he could see that Mizuki seemed to barely have his eyes open as it was as the movements continued. This was the plan really, he wanted the other to get some rest. Even a few hours of relaxed rest was better then nothing. Plus he had enjoyed everything tonight. It had been a long time when Mizuki seemed to just be content and not have a hint of fear or worry on his face.
