[He'd forgotten something... and judging by that overly sweet tone combined with that twitch it was probably going to hurt if he didn't figure it out...]
[He stared, eyes rather blank. What on earth was she referring to...?]
[He brought his hand up to scratch at the back of his head, throwing up his clueless rurouni smile as if his life depended on it--and it probably did.]
[Her face turned red, her fists clenched, but she stood still for a moment -- before turning on her heel, walking briskly into their bedroom, and slamming the door behind her. All without a word (or a blow to the head)]
[A little while passed before the door slowly opened. Kaoru stood in the doorway, a light blue slip hugging her figure. A white lace ribbon held her hair back instead of her usual ones.]
[Kaoru, face only a little red and feeling confident, leaned against the doorway in a pose she had seen in one of the magazines when she had gone shopping.]
If you'd rather not celebrate our seven month anniversary, that's fine with me.
[He had been assuming that he was going to be sleeping on the couch again--then he heard her open the door again.]
[He turned to see if he was about to die after all--]
[And then all cognitive thought left him.]
[He probably looked ridiculous himself, his mouth gaping slightly as his eyes traveled from her bare feet up her shapely calves to where her thighs disappeared under the short satin fabric. The blue garment was gathered just below her breasts and hung loosely from there, hugging her curves enough to entice, but ghosting away enough to tease...]
[He still couldn't quite say anything, his voice lost somewhere in his throat out of pure surprise.]
[A teasing smile crossed her face; he obviously hadn't expected this. Holding her anger back had paid off after all. She stood up straight, adjusting the slip a bit before walking slowly forward.]
I take that as a yes~?
[She stood in front of him, not touching except to lightly brush a kiss on his cheek.]
[His lips curled into a smirk against her skin when he heard her breath hitch.]
Sou ka...
[He took on step with her as she pulled him back with her before he dropped quickly, scooping her legs out from under her and lifting her in a bridal hold, relishing the feel of her legs as he did so.]
[He quickly found her lips with his own in a heated kiss.]
[She held onto him as he lifted her up, and before she knew it she was kissing him back a bit feverishly. She had been anticipating this moment all day.]
[Her fingers brushed the sides of his face lovingly, eyes closed, lost in the moment. How she could be so blessed?]
[Seven months. It really didn't seem possible. After all, he had essentially made up his mind years ago that he would never let anyone in this close again. And here he was. Happily married to this beautiful, strong woman.]
This unworthy one doesn't deserve such happiness.[He immediately chided himself for the thought. It was true that he did not deserve it. However, Kaoru did not deserve to have her happiness denied
( ... )
[He blinks several times, scrunches up his eyebrows for a moment and then--]
Saturday?

[His voice, once it finally decided to come out, had a rough texture to it--one that he was sure she recognized by now.]
[Hesitantly, his hands found her waist, the material of the slip skimming against his calloused fingers.]
Sumanu.
[He apologized--the thought of keeping track of a monthly anniversary hadn't occurred to him. Yearly, yes. Monthly, no.
[He let his lips find her neck and gave a small nibble.]

You're forgiven...
[Kaoru's breath hitched, and she tugged him a bit back toward the bedroom.]
