The Vanguard and The Jewel Knight

8 AM

Author's Note: An AU where Aichi and Kourin are married and this is the first time they would wake up together... or if someone wakes up earlier, what would they do?

Fluff, I think?

As the morning rises, two people were sleeping on the same bed. The sunlight shone on their faces and one of them woke up.

Aichi opened his eyes, he groaned as he felt the sun ray hit his face. He sat and looked at the digital clock beside him, he sighed. It was 8 AM, good thing it was Sunday and he didn't have any work.

He then heard some noise behind him, Aichi took a glance and saw his wife sleeping. He gave a smile, he leaned to her face and caressed her. She looks cute, he thought to himself.

Aichi knew that he has to wake her up, but seeing his wife's sleeping face made him not to do such thing. He wants her to stay like that.

As Aichi continued staring at Kourin, he can't help but to resist trying to kiss her. As his eyes darted on her parted lips, he wanted to kiss her so badly but he didn't want to wake her up.

"If I kiss her, she might wake up and punch me for kissing her without permission." Aichi muttered and sighed, he just continued looking at her while caressing her face. "Especially last night..."

Flashback

"How much of an idiot can you be?" Kourin glared at Aichi, she frowned as her husband grinned.

"I think I'm idiotic enough to get married to a beautiful lady like you," Aichi replied and went closer to her face.

"Stop being cheesy!" Kourin exclaimed and blushed hardly and tried to push Aichi as he started to cuddle her and gave kisses on her face and neck.

"Stop!"

"No~" Aichi playfully replied.

Kourin got a little annoyed and she suddenly gave Aichi an uppercut that made him fell from the bed and down to the floor.

Kourin gasped in surprise and quickly went to him, "A-Aichi! I-I'm sorry I lost my temper! Are you okay?"

Aichi chuckled and could feel his jaw in pain, he hissed. "I-I feel a little... bad, that's all..."

"I'm sorry Aichi!" Kourin held Aichi and helped him lay down on the bed. She had to take some medicine kit and healed Aichi.

"If only you didn't do that to me, you'd be fine." Kourin scolded as she puts some bandaid on Aichi's jaw.

"I-I was only trying to be sweet to you, you didn't have to punch me like that, Kourin-san..." Aichi whined and winced.

"I'm sorry, okay?"

"...Kiss my bruise?" Aichi asked as he smiled wryly.

He felt a slap on his other cheek.

End of Flashback

Aichi just kept on staring at his wife, he wanted to resist himself kissing her. But... he just can't.

Aichi then leaned closer, he could feel her breathing and he stroked her hair. He was lovestruck, he's really glad and happy that he get to married someone like Kourin.

"Kourin-san..." He muttered before giving a soft kiss on her lips.

It was so soft, he thought. He didn't want to stop kissing her, he continued doing that until he felt someone kissing him back.

He opened his eyes and saw Kourin, awake.

He let go from the kiss and both of them looked at each other. "Kourin-san, good morning." Aichi greeted with an awkward grin.

"Good morning, Aichi." Kourin greeted back.

Aichi felt nervous, he is expecting a punch from Kourin again. And as Kourin puts her hand up, he closed his eyes tightly.

But instead of a punch, he was only given a caress on his face. He opened his eyes, Kourin was smiling at him.

"Kourin-san..." He spoke.

"Were you thinking that I will punch you?" Kourin said and giggled.

"W-well... I was expecting that." Aichi replied.

"Don't worry, Aichi. I won't punch you again, just don't act all cheesy, okay?"

"Yes!" Aichi nodded.

Both of them got out of the bed, and as Kourin was about to leave their room, Aichi embraced her from behind and buries his face on her neck.

"Kourin-san, I love you. Even if you punched me last night." He whispered and bit on Kourin's ear.

"Aichi you-"

"That being said, let's have our breakfast, shall we?" Aichi then let go to hold Kourin's hand and Kourin nodded as she blushed hardly.

"S-sure..."

Kourin can only smile and she walked with Aichi as they go to the dining room to eat their breakfast.

There's something inside Kourin's mind that she thinks that Aichi is planning to do something with her because of his sly grin he kept on giving her during the whole day they would be together.

Perhaps revenge from last night?

She might not know unless Aichi does something.
