Summary: Nadeshiko loved the early mornings, and Fugitaka loved her.

They were only married a week, and domesticity had not yet set in, and that was why Nadeshiko was smiling when she folded the sheets.
It was early morning, her favorite time of the day, and his scent still lingered a little on the fresh white sheets, and it was wonderful to her to be newly married and sleeping on those same sheets with her husband.
She knew Fugitaka would be getting up soon and then he would have to get ready for work, and she for school, and she would lose the simple peace of this morning. But the time passed when he should have woken, and she was about to leave the laundry when he came outside, halfway dressed for work. Without a word, he started folding with her.
"I'm sorry," he said after a long minute, breaking the companionable silence, and she looked at him with surprise.
"What?"
"For last night," he said, turning his face away as though he were ashamed.
"What?" Nadeshiko said again, tilting her head adorably. She furrowed her brow a minute trying to remember what he was talking about. They had argued, she supposed, but she couldn't remember about what.
Fugitaka laughed and wrapped her in one of the sheets. She giggled.
"You don't even remember being mad?"
"How could I be mad at you?" she replied, and then mischievously she pulled the sheet he had wrapped around her over her head and onto his head, like he was a very tall boy playing a ghost at Halloween. She giggled.
"Finish folding the sheets, would you, darling? I'm going to go take a shower," she said, walking towards the back door. Fugitaka pulled the sheet from his head to watch her go, and smiled at her light footsteps.
He raised a sheet to his face and inhaled just a bit of her sweet scent that lingered there. He loved being able to be with her all the time. He didn't want to mess this up.
So Kinomoto Fugitaka folded sheets as Nadeshiko showered and made their lunches, and then it was off to school, hand in hand.
