Living at the palace on Daibazaal had been a big adjustment for (Y/n) since before her arrival she was used to doing nearly everything for herself, then afterwards there were servants to do everything that was considered housework. At first it felt wrong to let the servants do the cooking, laundry and other things she used to do for herself, although after talking to some of them she learned that Zarkon had hired them and they were getting paid well for everything they did, and they were given free housing. (Y/n) always respected the servants and in order to earn her keep she helped them wherever and whenever she could, unfortunately sometimes she got so busy that she completely forgot to do a little cleaning of her own. One morning when (Y/n) went to her closet to grab a clean shirt/dress she couldn't find any; she should have had at least one clean shirt or a dress laying around somewhere, alas they were all in her hamper and couldn't be worn again until they were washed and dried. She would have been panicking, but she had a boyfriend who had more than enough shirts of his own, and she figured that he wouldn't mind letting her borrow one until hers were clean.

Before (Y/n) went to Sendak's bedroom she put her pajamas back on since she didn't want anyone to see her in her underwear, then she left her room. During her little dilemma, Sendak was in the process of getting dressed for the day; he put his bodysuit on after he did his morning routine, then he put on his armor. He smiled to himself when he thought about giving (Y/n) a good morning kiss like he always did, he could hardly wait to see her. When he heard a knock on his bedroom door Sendak's ears perked up; he was a little confused at first, but then he realized it must have been his girlfriend wanting to see him. Sendak opened his bedroom door and saw (Y/n) standing there, but she was still wearing her pajamas.

“Good morning, Angel. To what do I owe the pleasure? Please, do come in.” Sendak said as he invited (Y/n) into his room, standing to the side.

(Y/n) walked into her boyfriend's bedroom and bid him a good morning, although she felt a little nervous when he closed the door because she'd never borrowed anything of his before, especially when it came to clothing. Sendak wasn't entirely sure why (Y/n) seemed so nervous; he figured that it must have been the same reason she still wore her pajamas, and since she didn't smell of blood or look injured or sick he was completely clueless about her problem.

“Hey, you wouldn't mind if I borrow one of your shirts, would you?” (Y/n) shyly asked Sendak after he knelt down in front of her, feeling utterly embarrassed for forgetting to wash her own laundry.

“I don't mind, in fact I've been wanting to see how adorable you would look if you wore one. May I inquire why you're still wearing your pajamas, though?” Sendak answered with a grin before he voiced his confusion about her lack of daytime clothing.

“I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot to wash my own laundry. I have underwear, bras and pants, but no shirts or dresses.” (Y/n) responded, explaining her dilemma to him.

Sendak understood his girlfriend's problem and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, then he stood up and walked to his closet that was still open. The shirt he chose for her had to be long enough to fit like a dress, but at the same time the sleeves couldn't be too long because (Y/n's) arms were shorter than his. (Y/n) followed her boyfriend to his closet and stood next to him while he looked for something for her to wear, noticing that he had a pretty good wardrobe. After searching for a couple of minutes Sendak found the perfect shirt; a medium gray, mid-sleeve lightweight shirt that would be perfect for (Y/n) to wear.

“This one should fit you well. You can go get dressed in my bathroom.” Sendak said when he turned toward (Y/n) and gave her the shirt, eager to see how she would look while wearing it.

“Thank you.” (Y/n) thanked him before she walked to his bathroom and closed the door, feeling giddy about wearing one of her boyfriend's shirts, just as girlfriends were known to do.

Sendak went to go sit on his bed while he waited for (Y/n) to get changed, hoping that she wouldn't take too long. He'd heard about girlfriends wearing their boyfriend's shirts and he could hardly believe that he and (Y/n) were participating in the adorable tradition. While Sendak waited on his bed, (Y/n) removed her pajamas in his bathroom by sliding her pajama shirt and pants off/sliding her nightgown off, then she folded her pajamas neatly. Next, she slid Sendak's shirt over her head and slid her arms through the sleeves, feeling the soft fabric caress her skin as she put it on. (Y/n) looked down at herself after she put the shirt on and smiled; the shirt fit on her like a loose dress with long flowy sleeves, even the neck was loose enough so her collarbone was visible.

“Well, what do you think?” (Y/n) queried after she opened the bathroom door and walked toward the bed while holding her pajamas, fluttering her eyes flirtatiously.

“I think you look very ravishing. I like how the neck of the shirt shows off your collarbone perfectly.” Sendak replied when he quickly got off of the bed and walked over to (Y/n), promptly kneeling in front of her so he could gently place his hands on her hips.

“My my, we're feeling frisky this morning~.” (Y/n) flirted, blushing as soon as Sendak placed his large hands on her hips, immediately dropping her pajamas on the floor.

“How can I not when you're wearing that? There's no way I can resist you.” Sendak responded with a seductive growl, leaning down so he could gently nibble the right side of her collarbone.

(Y/n) gasped and loosely wrapped her arms around the back of her significant other's head when he leaned towards her neck, moaning as she felt his warm breath on her sensitive flesh. She felt him run the tip of his tongue along the sensitive part of her collarbone a few times before he growled with excitement and sunk the sharp tips of his teeth into her skin; Sendak had never bit her so hard before and he was only using a little strength, she figured that he'd gotten overly excited from seeing her wearing one of his shirts. Sendak knew not to leave a proper mating bite at the base of (Y/n's) neck, he wouldn't do it until he was sure she wanted to be his life mate, but that didn't mean he couldn't leave a few love bites on her. He thought (Y/n) looked extremely sexy while she wore his shirt and he couldn't help himself, he absolutely needed her to know how desirable she was. When Sendak pulled away a couple of minutes later he saw that he'd broken skin and his girlfriend was bleeding a little; (Y/n) panicked a little when she let go of his head and saw that she was bleeding, but her boyfriend made it up to her by licking the wound until it stopped bleeding.

“I'm sorry, My Angel; I couldn't help myself.” Sendak apologized, pinning his ears back in guilt; he simply meant to leave a love bite on (Y/n's) collarbone, he never meant to make her bleed as much as he did.

“It's fine, I promise. You just got a little too excited, that's all. Now, shouldn't you be going outside to meet up with Zarkon and the others? You know how strict he gets when you're late.” (Y/n) replied as she assured him that she would be alright, then she reminded him that he needed to go train with Zarkon.

“Must you spoil my fun?” Sendak questioned, pretending to be offended by her telling him that they needed to leave his room so soon.

“The sooner you go out to train, the sooner you can come back inside and we can make out. Besides, we'll have more than enough time to goof around later.” (Y/n) told him suggestively.

Sendak huffed, but he knew his girlfriend had a point; he took one last look at the love bite and knew it wouldn't bleed anymore, as long as she didn't mess with it. He loved seeing a love bite on his significant other, it was a physical sign that she was his lover and he was proud to be with her. On their way out of his bedroom (Y/n) picked her pajamas up off of the floor so she could take them back to her room, then she would go wash her laundry. Until he saw his girlfriend again later Sendak looked forward to hopefully fooling around with her, and he hoped she would still be wearing his shirt. (Y/n) knew exactly how to drive her boyfriend wild, and she planned on using her seductive charms on him later.

Washing and drying her laundry didn't take very long and before (Y/n) knew it she was putting her laundry away, although she decided to keep Sendak's shirt on because she wanted to drive him wild with desire. The shirt could be a little drafty if the wind outside was blowing; obviously there wasn't any wind in the palace, and she didn't bother going outside in fear of the wind blowing the shirt up so far that people would see her underwear. By the time Sendak, Vrul and Kumo were finished with their daily training session (Y/n) had finished putting her clean laundry away in her closet, then she went to go greet her boyfriend. Sendak was the first person to come back inside and he greeted (Y/n) with a passionate kiss, one that left her nearly breathless. While they shared a loving kiss the collar of the shirt slid down enough for the love bite to be visible, and Vrul noticed it when he passed them.

“I knew you two were courting, but I wasn't aware that you claimed (Y/n) as your mate.” Vrul noted out loud when he stopped walking, causing the couple to pull away from each other.

“We're not- I- I mean…” (Y/n) stammered as she averted her gaze, blushing madly; she wouldn't mind Sendak's wife, but they weren't ready to get married yet.

“Then why do you have a mating bite?” Vrul pointed out with disbelief.

“Who has a mating bite?” Kumo queried when she walked by.

“(Y/n) does.” Vrul answered, gesturing to the love bite on the human woman's skin.

Kumo stood next to Vrul and bent down a little, inspecting the area near (Y/n's) exposed collarbone; she definitely had a love bite and it was fresh, but it wasn’t in the usual place a mating bite was given. While she and Vrul were giving Sendak and (Y/n) a hard time, Zarkon walked into the palace and overheard some of what was being said. He waited for Vrul and Kumo to leave, then he approached the loving couple and saw what all the fuss was about. Sendak stood up straight and (Y/n) faced Zarkon, both of them attempting to look as presentable as possible.

“I see that you've left your claim on (Y/n), but from my understanding you're still courting her. Are the two of you ready for a marriage ceremony so early in your relationship?” Zarkon spoke to Sendak after he noticed the fresh love bite on (Y/n), questioning whether or not they were ready to marry each other.

“Marrie- U-umm…” (Y/n) responded with a flustered tone, hardly able to believe that Zarkon would come to that conclusion.

“P-perhaps in the future, My Lord, but not yet. I would like to finish properly courting (Y/n) before we become one eternally; it's only proper to do so.” Sendak answered, albeit somewhat awkwardly since he wasn't expecting Zarkon to imply that he and his girlfriend were ready for a marriage ceremony yet.

“I understand. However, when the two of you are ready in the future, I would like to host the ceremony for both of you.” Zarkon replied kindly before he took his leave; he didn't mind hosting a marriage ceremony for any of his royal guards or guards in training since he was close with each one, but he would leave it up to Sendak and (Y/n) whenever they were ready to formally become mates.

Sendak and (Y/n) were absolutely flustered as they stood there in the entry hall; Sendak should have known that people would assume he and (Y/n) had become life mates when they saw the mark on her collarbone, although he didn't regret leaving the slight love bite. The mood for kissing had been ruined, so they decided to go get a snack from the kitchen before they went to hang out somewhere. (Y/n) wasn't opposed to marrying Sendak and she was relieved that galra had a marriage ceremony of some kind, nevertheless she still wanted to take her time allowing Sendak to properly court her while she occasionally planned dates for them to go on together. She still chose to continue to wear Sendak's shirt due to how comfortable it was, and the fact that it made it a little easier for them to fool around together whenever no one else was around. The rest of the day went well and thankfully no one else made assumptions about where (Y/n's) relationship with Sendak stood; they loved each other very much, whether if they were officially life mates or not.
