at the age of 18, you were engaged to illumi already. He at the time had shoulder length black hair and was just as cold and emotionless as now. When he first met you, you were sweet and happy, even though he wasn’t too keen on getting married. But after 2 years of being married to him, you started to kind of despise him. He was away rather often and didn’t seem to care for you much. Cold and distant but respectful to you, gave you allowance money and capable servants. anytime you saw him, you gave him a forced smile and a simple greeting. He didn’t seem to mind how unfriendly you became. But his heart said otherwise, he really did wanted to get to know you, see you smile at him genuinely, say his name like you cared for him but didn’t know how to express it. He just started buying gifts for you anytime he went on missions, new jewellery, dresses, shirts, books, snacks. You accepted them with a smile and thanks and nothing more. Illumi went to his mother, kikyo, for help on wooing his wife. Kikyo always loved you, you were the perfect wife for the family, she always reminded him of how lucky he was to have a wife like you after one of illumi’s mission to a different continent, he bought a bottle of perfume as a gift. When you woke up, there was a pink gift box wrapped in white ribbon, inside was a cute bottle of perfume and a note illumi wrote to you “I apologise if I made you feel lonely and forgot, I’ll try harder to earn your love my lovely wife- illumi” it was so sweet, first time he did something so bold, the idea was from his mother, she said, get your wife a gift and a note
