Kit stood there next to him at the computer as she completed his last words. He was focused on logging in to the website for the grocery store that he didn’t see her confusion. When he finally logged on, he looked up and grinned at her. He pulled her down to his lap again and tilted her head so he could see her face.

He held her there for what seemed to be an eternity. “Princess,” He said, but he didn’t even recognize his own voice. It was deeper and ragged. He looked into her eyes and saw the color had deepened, and she was breathless. “I. I.,” he couldn’t say more.“Mitsuhide,” she said softly.“Will you come with me?” he asked softly as he touched his forehead to hers.

The ride was silent. He had no idea what to say to help her, and he kept looking at her as he was driving stealing little glances her way every chance he got.

Mitsuhide found that the best part of the past few days was waking up with a small body next to him, so the following morning when he woke up, and she wasn’t in the bed he was slightly confused.

Mitsuhide had his eyes closed with a cat with cream grin on his face. She was tracing the lines of his chest with her finger lightly, trying not to feel smug. He had followed her without question earlier, and that built up frustration he had felt during their shopping trip had burst as he had tackled her and pinned her to the bed. He wasn’t gentle in his taking her this time, he lifted his head and looked at the marks he had left on her.
