You and Obanai were arranged to marry ever since you two were just children, and here you guys are, about two weeks after your wedding at you guys' new estate where you two, and likely future children would be staying, permanently. Neither of you had a say in the marriage, forced to comply just to keep the bloodline 'pure', because if it were any other man or any other woman you were to married the family bloodline would be unpure.

Obanai grew up to be handsome, but also very harsh and strict. He was nicer to you than most, but you couldn't decipher whether it was because you were married or if he genuinely was fond of you.

He was lying down, fast asleep, while you were awake. For some reason, you just couldn't sleep. Was it because being married stresses you out? Or the thought of eventually having to have children? Or maybe it was you weren't mentally prepared for any of this, but then again, neither of you were.

Obanai was sleeping on his back, his pet snake, Kaburamaru, lying on your chest. His snake was pretty fond of you.
