Disclaimer: I do not own Dengeki Daisy. If I did Kurosaki and Teru would be together long before now! :P
Setting: Future fic, but with no major spoilers as far as I remember! Teru is 19 and in college and Kurosaki is 27 and not working as a janitor anymore.
Hope you like it! Someday I'll figure out how to put the line divider thingys! :D

Teru yawned as she staggered blearily into the kitchen early on a Monday morning. She switched the coffee machine on and yawned again as she tightened the belt of the white fluffy dressing gown her boyfriend had gotten for her nineteenth birthday.
I'm so happy I live here now. We have a coffee machine and I know how to use a DVD player with no problem. Teru chuckled to herself, remembering how just a few years ago she couldn't even get a DVD to play.
The coffee machine gave a 'beep' and Teru poured some coffee into her favourite mug. Taking a sip she made her way back to the bedroom to get dressed. However as she drew closer to the door she started to hear strange noises, like scrapes and thuds, not unlike what if it would sound like if a bunch of squirrels had been let loose in the room. She opened the door and saw, not a bunch of squirrels, but her boyfriend dressed for work and frantically looking for something.
"What's wrong?" mumbled Teru, as she leaned against the doorframe, took another sip of her hot coffee and watched him tear apart the bedroom.
"I can't find my phone," Kurosaki's muffled voice responded from somewhere under the bed. Teru sighed and took a big gulp of coffee from her striped mug. Then she walked into the bedroom, set her mug down on the dresser and padded softly across the carpet to stand by what she could see of Kurosaki, which consisted mainly of his calves and ankles, as he continued rummaging around under the bed.
"There's a hole in your right sock."
A muffled curse reached her ears and Kurosaki's rumpled blonde head appeared. Teru drew her dressing gown closer around her and knelt down beside him. She smiled sweetly.
"It's in the kitchen, on the counter next to the kettle. What's got you so worried anyway? Are you afraid I might find it, is there something you don't want me to know? Have you been harassing other women, pervert?" Teru challenged.
Kurosaki smirked. "As if. I already have a slave. No one else would keep my apartment clean and do my laundry," he grinned.
Teru rolled her eyes, though the corners of her mouth turned up. "Go bald Kurosaki! Come and have some coffee when you've finished applying your hair tonic."
She stood up, picked up her mug and made her way back to the kitchen to make breakfast before the pair had to begin their day, leaving Kurosaki still sitting on the floor anxiously fingering his scalp.
Breakfast passed in its usual way, with Kurosaki making the occasional jab at Teru's cooking as it was Monday, and Teru telling him loudly to go bald already, also because it was Monday. Afterwards Kurosaki washed the dishes reluctantly, while Teru showered and got dressed for college.
Teru had perfected showering at the speed of light in the mornings after living with Kurosaki since graduating high school, as several times he'd left without her after she took too long in the shower and she'd had to walk. Wrapped in a towel she wiped the steam from the mirror and refastened her daisy necklace around her neck. She's worn it every day ever since Kurosaki had given it to her as Daisy when she was sixteen. Riko sometimes teased her about it, but Teru didn't care as it reminded her of the days when Daisy was always there, always watching over her and keeping her safe.
Of course I still have that now; it's just Kurosaki himself instead of being Daisy. Teru smiled, remembering the good old days. She had kept all the e-mails she could from 'Daisy' and read back on them sometimes when she and Kurosaki were fighting, or when he was out of town. He'd gotten a new job with a computer software company and Teru was very proud of him. It was just unfortunate that he had to wear a suit to work quite often. He'd never liked suits, but Teru found great joy in buying him ridiculous ties and forcing him to wear them. She knew he took them off as soon as he got to work, as they were always slightly askew when he got home in the evenings, with the knot tied differently to how she tied them for him in the mornings.
Teru blinked at her reflection, and told herself to hurry up and get dressed. Thankfully today wasn't a day Kurosaki had to wear a suit so they could skip the argument that always took place when she wrestled him into one of the brightly coloured, bizarrely patterned, decorated with pictures of snails or otherwise ridiculous ties that she delighted in inflicting on him. She ran a comb through her hair and left the bathroom to gather her things before Kurosaki got impatient and left without her.
"At last," he grumbled teasingly when he spotted her picking up her bag. "Don't you know it's bad to keep your master waiting?"
"Go bald Kurosaki! Let's go!" Kurosaki smirked as he watched his girlfriend slam out of the apartment and followed her as she stomped to the elevator.
Later in the car, as he dropped her off he leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Bye. Do your best, and don't talk to any creepy janitors! I'll be home late tonight and I expect a lovely dinner and a massage from my loyal servant when I get home!"
"Go bald, Kurosaki," Teru yelled as she hopped out of the car and slammed the door. Stupid blonde delinquent.
"I love you!" he called after her. She stopped, gasped and went a little pink. No matter how many times they said it since they'd both finally gotten around to confessing, she could never fully get used to it.
"I – I love you too, even though you will soon become bald" she retorted before turning and walking away to hide her smile. True, they had their moments when they yelled (Teru), and threw things (Teru), slammed doors (Teru), and refused to cook dinner so they had to eat instant ramen (Kurosaki). But at the end of the day they could never be with anyone else. Because who else would put up with each of them?
I'm thinking of turning this into a collection of drabbles and oneshots... What do you guys think? If you have suggestions or prompts I'd love to hear them!
Please Review! ^o^
