Summary: The One Question you hoped your wife would never ask....
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
“Kratos- how old are you?”
“That is unnecessary. My age does not matter.”
“Why? You afraid at admitting how old you are?”
Anna giggled at the affronted look on her husband’s face. He looked cross, but she knew that inside he was laughing. His body language revealed everything.
“I am not.”
“Yes you are- don’t try to lie to me,” she teased. Ooh…if he would just rise to the bait…
“I’m not lying.”
“Then why did you give me such a horrified look when I asked you how old you were?”
“Because I was not expecting that. It is a highly personal question.”
“Oh please, Kratos- stop avoiding the question. Tell me how old you are.”
“Never.”
“Oh, come on- I promise not to laugh.”
“You do?” He regarded her with a solemn look. “Then promise me not to laugh.”
“Alright...” -she put her right hand up to emphasize her act- “I, Anna Aurion, do promise not to laugh at Kratos Aurion when he tells me his age. Is that good enough for you?”
“Yes…”
“Then hurry up and tell me!”
“Alright,” he sighed, “but remember- you promised…”
Anna leaned forward eagerly.
“But first, how old do you think I am?” He asked abruptly.
“What?”-She hadn’t been expecting THAT-“Uh…28?” That seemed close…
“Far off.”
“Then what IS your age?”
“4,028.” The look on his face told her that he meant what he had just said. Still, 4,028?! That was even older than some of the elves!
“You’re…you’re not joking, are you…”
“No, I am not. I’m 4,028. Now wipe that grin off of your face. You promised not to laugh.”
“Never said that I couldn’t smile…” Without warning, she let out a giggle. “Oops…”
He frowned. “Was that a laugh I just heard from you, Anna?”
“Oh, come on, Kratos- lighten up! So you’re 4,028. What, does that mean I have to bow in reverence for you all the time?”
“No!” He nearly shouted. That would be horrible! Almost as bad as having to be one of Mithos’ Seraphim…
“Take a joke, Mr. Angelic Being. Can’t you tell I’m kidding with you?”
“So…you’re fine with the fact that I’m 4,028?”
“Yes, of course!”
“Good, because I thought I heard you the other day saying that you didn’t like older men.”
“Oh please, Kratos- you know I could never consider you old. Look at you! You haven’t aged a day past 28! Or…at least you look like it…”
“I suppose…” He replied coolly.
“A practical Fountain of Youth, huh?” He laughed right before leaning in for a passionate kiss. After a couple heated moments, they broke it, gasping for air.
“I have to hand it to you, Kratos- at 4,028, you’re still a good kisser.”
“Of course- I’m the Fountain of Youth, right?”
