one he had secretly crafted as well, had been placed nearby which matches the crible's decoration perfectly.

several frames hanging on the wall and a drawer, on top of which Panne’s moogle stuffed toys along with some chocobo toys were neatly arranged.

The crible that Meteor had made, on the other hand, was placed in one corner of the room. A changing table he hadn’t told her about, +

He squeezed her hand in return before guiding her upstairs towards Wren’s room. The walls were decorated with pink and white wallpaper adorned with moogles as she requested, matched by curtains in the same colors. The room was furnished with a couple of chairs, +

// Cue the Meteor OST! 🔥😆

A long sigh escaped him as he rubbed the back of his neck once more, a habit he had whenever he was far too embarrassed about something. “True. You’re right. I just wanted to make sure I’ve provided the best I can for Wren.”

He let out another deep sigh before he spoke again. “Shall we?”

He reached out to gently pinch her cheek at finding her excitement utterly adorable before rubbing the back of his neck, chuckling softly as he replied. "Alright. Though I admit it makes me a tad nervous in case I fail to satisfy your expectations seeing how excited you are right now."

“I know you’re excited to see it, love, but you have to be careful." He said with a soft chuckle.

He froze for a moment at her sudden reaction, taken aback by the burst of enthusiasm before he recovered and let out a laugh. Rising from his seat, he reached out to gently steady her by the arm so she wouldn’t stumble. +

“Anyroad, I was about to ask if you wanted to see the room since it’s finally finished. But I see you’re busy, so… mayhap some other time?”

Another chuckle followed as he found her reaction amusing. “I’m just teasing you. But thank you, it’s really heartening to know that.”

He glanced at the bracelet she was working on before looking back at her with a playful grin. +

I’m really glad you liked the ring. I’ve been worrying for weeks, terrified you might not the moment I proposed.”

“Truly?” He let out a theatrically wounded sigh. “Sometimes I wonder if my wife even thinks of me whenever I’m away. Maybe she doesn’t… and that makes me very sad.”

He then burst into a chuckle. “But in all seriousness, +

His gaze fell to the bracelet on his wrist with a fond expression. “Of course I’ll always wear it. It’s been my lucky charm whenever I’m away from home. And I love having something that reminds me of you… not that you’re ever far from my thoughts because you always are.”

"...Alright." He relented, his smile softening as he gazed at her with full affection, lightly brushing a few strands of hair away from her beautiful face.

"Whatever you make for me, rest assured I will treasure it dearly like I do this bracelet you gave me. Thank you, my love."

"I know it will turn out beautifully once you're finished with it." He placed a light kiss on her nose before slightly raising his arm, showing the bracelet she’d given him before.

"But I still have the one you gave me back then. It still look great." He replied with a soft chuckle.

He stared a little longer at the bracelet she was making, giving her shoulder gentle rubs.

“It looks very nice. You’re really good at these things."

He pressed several kisses to her cheek before peeking at what she was doing, smiling.

"I see my beautiful wife is busy. Is that for a friend?"

*Sneaks up behind her to give her a back hug*

What is— Hold on, where is he?

*He looks around, but the guy in despair is nowhere to be seen. He shrugs.*

Anyway, he wants to know if you could conjure him a ghost Pocky.
