"Papa is the best!" the small blond girl exclaimed, leaving the young spectacled man, "He's so cool!"
Kenji Tsukino smiled. He knew that children grew up quickly and he intended to enjoy the fact that he was cool in his daughter's eyes. For all that he knew in two, or three, years time he would transform from cool to an embarassing, old-fashioned man. Especially where boys would be involved Kenji did not plan to go without a fight.
"Mama, mama, look what daddy helped me do for the arts and crafts lesson!" the small said hopping around the room, presenting her mother a clay cat.
"Wow Usagi-chan," Ikuko beamed, "Did you thanked papa for his help? So, let's have a bath, shall we?"
Kenji heard his wife and daughter retreat i n the bathroom. He had already wahsed for the evening, so he decided to change into his pyjamas.
It was almost June. The nights were becoming warmer and he decided to wear a sleeveless t-shirt instead of his pyjamas' short-sleeved top. He stared at his image in the mirror. He was thirty-six but still presentable. He worked hard as a magazine editor. so he did not have time to exercise apart from an early morning jog and the times he played with Shingo and Usagi.
"Usagi went to sleep at last," Ikuko said entering their bedroom.
He looked at her. In her pink, frilly, short-sleeved night gown she looked like the young girl she had married ten years ago.
"You're blushing," she noticed in surprise.
"It's nothing."
She hugged him, strongly and then kissed him. He kissed her back, making her let out a sigh pf pleasure as she removed his t-shirt.
"Wait - are the kids sleeping?"
"Don't worry," she said and locked their bedroom's door, "Usagi is sound asleep and Shigo won't wake up till morning. By the way, your daughter exclaimed she'll get married to you when she grows up."
"Really?" he asked as she pecked him on the neck and shoulder, "And what did you tell her?"
"I told her that you are my prince and I won't give you to her easily. I told her to find a prince of her own when she grows up!"
"Don't tell me that you're jealous of Usagi! She's just a little girl!"
"Little girl or not, she's still a woman. And handsome, I'm a pretty possessive person," she teased and moved lower, making him moan.
IkukoxKenji love!
