you and Howl had been dating for 5 months, ever since you and him "moved" (more so he just, used a spell to make the house "bigger"), you had your own room finally, currently it was night

(Also this is an au in which Sophie never existed and takes place after the movie, so his moving castle is now a flying castle, Calcifer is still around but no longer bound to Howl via his heart, just there to keep the house up, he listens to you now too)
