COTE: Lemons, One shots and What Ifs(Asleep)

🍋Kamuro Masumi - A Butterfly Dream

Masumi POV

I never would've thought I'll be in a situation like this, but here I am.

Recently, around this time of the day, I'm always sitting in front of the TV by myself after I've finished preparing dinner, but my mind is in a completely different place. Whatever is on the TV doesn't even register to me. At this moment, it served no purpose other than as background noise.

My heart races in anticipation as the promised time draws closer.

It's been quite a while, but I haven't gotten used to it at all. It was just like when we first started living together.

I'm just like a dog, patiently waiting for its owner to return.

Speaking of dogs, he once mentioned how he wasn't allowed to keep pets as a child. Maybe now is a good time?

If we're getting a dog, I'd want a small one with nice, white fur and we could even name it Alice. If it has trouble walking normally, that's even better.

As soon as I heard the chime, my body reacted immediately. Standing up from my seat, I rushed towards the door whilst expertly evading every piece of furniture that stood in my way.

The door opened from the outside, allowing me to see him.

Without any warning, I closed my eyes and leapt into his arms. He caught me with ease making me feel light as a feather.

"I'm back, Masumi."

A warm fuzzy feeling spread throughout my chest as his voice reached my ears. I look up only to be greeted by his handsome face which adorned a sweet smile. It wasn't easy to get one from him back in high school, but such a sight had become commonplace within this household.

Even so, that didn't stop my heart from skipping a beat whenever I saw it.

"Welcome home, darling ❤. Would you like dinner first? A bath? Or perhaps, do. you. want. me?"

We've been married for a while now, but I'm still as crazy for him as ever. And although he's not very expressive, I could tell he feels the same way. That's something I'm very thankful for.

"When are you going to stop jumping into my arms whenever I come home? It's dangerous."

"I can't help it, you know? I've been waiting for you all day."

Besides, I know just how strong he is. Carrying someone like me is no issue for someone like him.

A chilly gust of wind brushes up against my skin as I indulged myself in his warm embrace.

"We should go inside the house" he said. "It's getting cold outside."

"Un."

Once again, just by being there, he has brightened up everything around him and the house that felt empty a minute ago now feels full of life.

He went to his home office to put away his stuff and get changed whilst I prepared the dinner table.

I never particularly liked cooking. I always thought it was a drag when you could just pay professionals to do it for you but ever since we got together, I've been looking forward to giving him something I made every day.

Not too long after, he returned to the dining room. After he settled in the seat in front of me and we started eating.

"Here you go, Darling. Say "aah"."

Hearing what I said, he looked a bit troubled which I found adorable since he usually gives off the impression of being able to handle anything and everything that comes his way.
