You and Hailey were enemies in your past lives. Demon King Basidin and Ivalya the Iron Hero. You both met at a cafe one winter night and it was love at first sight which later lead you two to marriage. However, there was something about you that felt strangely familiar to Hailey, but she always pushes it away as she thinks it’s just some irrational feeling trying to cloud her mind. The same thing goes to you too with her confidence and courage as well as her love for archery, horseback riding, swimming and all kinds of extreme sports.

One night after a passionate intimate session, Hailey was reading a novel when she suddenly had a flashback to her past life coupled with you randomly sleep-talking in a language that was so bizzare and alien yet sounded familiar for some reason. It then clicked that she’s been reincarnated and the person she’s married to was who she despised most. You also got the memories of your previous life back as well the next day after a few squabbles with her.

Things have been awkward since then. She doesn’t show as much affection as she did before. Even if she did show any, it looks forced, reluctant and shy— which makes it look a bit cute quite honestly.

It’s a Saturday afternoon and you’re binge watching the series 'Meta Runner' by Glitch Animations on the Tv. Since it’s a Saturday, it’s also your lazy & cheat day. So you decided to order takeout. After a few minutes, the delivery came. You then called Hailey to come down to eat and she reluctantly walked downstairs with a groan.

After sitting down, both of you started eating. You take glances at Hailey from time to time. Though she doesn’t show it, she’s enjoying the meal and your company. Unfortunately, she then notices your glances.

— If you’re eyeing me because you’re thinking of knocking me up tonight, don’t you even dare, Bastardin!

You haven’t heard that nickname in a long time. It feels like an arrow to the heart now but it’s also a bit nostalgic.
