Wolvin suddenly stood up from his chair. A wide smile adorned his face, which had been constantly radiating happiness.
The Night Wolf youth took one of the untouched wine bottles on the table and opened the cap with a single gentle pull.
The rich and sweet aroma of grapes instantly wafted into the air. With slow movements, Wolvin poured the dark red beverage into Calian's glass, then filled his own glass halfway full.
"To our wonderful first date tonight." said Wolvin cheerfully, raising his glass into the air.
Calian smiled faintly, raising his glass as well. The two of them clinked their crystal glasses together until a melodious chiming sound was heard, then drank the beverage together.
"Wow..." Wolvin's eyes instantly widened brightly. He lowered his glass and licked the remaining wine on his lips. "The drink is so delicious! The sweet fruity taste is very strong and there is a pleasant warm sensation in the throat. I want more!"
Without waiting for approval, Wolvin immediately poured the wine back into his glass until it was full.
"Slow down, Wolvin, and do not drink too much!" warned Calian in a worried tone, his hand reaching out trying to hold his spouse's wrist. "What you are drinking is not fruit juice, but alcoholic wine. The intoxicating effect is quite strong."
"It's fine, Darling!" answered the Night Wolf youth firmly, gently waving his hand away while chuckling cheerfully. "This is a romantic date moment that happens very rarely. The money we spent is also not a little. I cannot possibly waste such a delicious and expensive drink just like that!"
Seeing the overflowing enthusiasm and joy from his spouse, Calian ultimately had no other choice but to yield. He pulled his hand back and allowed Wolvin to continue chugging the wine. The youth could only sip his own drink in silence while continuing to watch over him.
However, Wolvin's alcohol tolerance turned out to be beyond Calian's prediction. As if possessed by a thirsty demon, Wolvin continued to chug the wine like drinking plain water after training. Again, again, and again. Glass after glass he finished quickly.
When the first bottle was empty, Wolvin without hesitation immediately opened the second bottle and continued until finally the two wine bottles were completely drained without a drop left.
Oh my... I truly never expected that my cute spouse could without hesitation chug two bottles of alcoholic drink all by himself until they were finished.
His feelings were now a mix between amazement, worry, and also a little restlessness upon seeing Wolvin who was now starting to burp softly with droopy eyes. Seeing his insane stamina, I can only hope he does not go crazy and ask for all sorts of things while drunk like this.
The Night Wolf youth placed his empty glass slightly roughly on the table. He tried to sit upright, but his body swayed slightly to the side.
"Darling... ugh, my head feels like it's spinning a bit." said Wolvin with a voice that started to slur, realizing his own condition. "I... I am afraid if my consciousness completely fades here. It is better to quickly call the waiter so we can pay the bill for all we ordered before I fall asleep at the table."
Hearing the highly reasonable request from his spouse who was beginning to lose consciousness, Calian immediately pressed the bell on the table.
Not long after, a restaurant waiter who had served them previously entered the private room.
"How much is the total bill?"
The waiter approached carrying a small notebook. "The total amount for the two of you's dinner tonight is 48,400 Len, Sir."
After knowing the nominal price to be paid, Wolvin, who was still sitting in his chair, tried to focus his gaze. He channeled his mana energy into the dimensional storage necklace circling his neck and began to take out money from within.
With hands slightly trembling due to the alcohol's effect, Wolvin placed four gold coins, nine silver coins, and forty large copper coins on the table.
The restaurant waiter deftly and politely began to count the amount of money on the table. Calian stood beside the table, watching calmly, while Wolvin nodded slightly trying to convince himself that his calculation was correct, even though he was already heavily drunk.
"Excuse me, Sir. There is an excess of 1,000 Len." said the waiter very honestly after finishing counting the entire amount of coins on the table. He intended to return the remaining one silver coin.
"No need to return it. Just take the rest for yourself." answered Calian politely and calmly, stopping the waiter's hand movement. "That is a tip for you. Thank you very much for your excellent service tonight."
Receiving a considerably large tip, the male waiter's eyes instantly sparkled. He felt very happy and appreciated.
"T-Thank you very much, Sir! Thank you for the generosity of the two of you!" said the waiter while bowing deeply.
In his chair, Wolvin then tried to stand up. He managed to get up, but after only walking two steps, his body instantly staggered forward, almost crashing into the table if Calian had not swiftly caught him.
"Darling..." murmured Wolvin with half-closed eyes, leaning his body weight against his husband's chest. "My legs feel very weak... could you carry me on your back?" he asked affectionately while holding his dizzy head.
Without saying much, Calian immediately turned his body, lowered himself slightly, and offered his back. The Night Wolf youth immediately wrapped both his arms around the youth's neck and climbed on comfortably.
After ensuring his spouse's body position was safe and comfortable on his back, the purple-haired youth turned to the restaurant waiter.
"Once again, thank you very much, and we will take our leave."
"Y-Yes, Sir. You are welcome." answered the waiter politely, still amazed seeing the sight in front of him. "Please be careful on your way home tonight."
Calian nodded slowly, then stepped out leaving the private room while carrying Wolvin on his back and exited the restaurant building.
The waiter stood silently in the room, looking toward the door that had just been closed by his customers. His feelings were a mix of amazement, shock, and happiness.
I truly did not expect that the two of them are a married couple. No wonder I saw matching rings worn on their left ring fingers earlier. the waiter thought, smiling slightly. It is no wonder they requested this private room.
....
But, only this time have I received such a large tip and such a sincere direct thank you from my customers.
The waiter began to tidy up the plates on the table. Despite their relationship being unique to some people, I can clearly see that the youth as well as the Night Wolf beastfolk... the two of them look very happy.
....
Meanwhile, on the streets of the City of Sellon which had begun to quiet down from night activities, Calian continued walking with steady steps. The quite chilly night breeze hit his face, but his back felt very warm because Wolvin's body was clinging tightly to him.
After walking for several dozens of minutes, they finally arrived at the inn and directly went up to their room.
Calian softly kicked the room door until it was tightly closed, then walked toward the bed. With very slow and careful movements, he laid his spouse's body on the soft mattress. Wolvin only murmured softly in his sleep as his back touched the bedsheets.
Calian let out a long sigh looking at his deeply asleep spouse's face. And then, with movements full of gentleness, Calian began to remove the belt, shoes, and clothes on Wolvin's body so he could sleep more comfortably.
"I already told you earlier, don't drink too much." Calian murmured softly, as if talking to himself, continuing to remove Wolvin's clothes. "Now, you've ended up heavily drunk like this instead."
After all the clothes had been removed, Calian gently stroked the black hair of the Night Wolf youth who was now lying naked on the bed with full attention and affection.
"Good night, Wolvin. Thank you for the date tonight." he said softly while covering his spouse's body with a blanket.
