A/N: This is my first Soumako fic, so please be nice. It's possible that Sousuke is a little OOC, but like I said: it's my first try. This will be a multi-chapter story (not a one-shot). If there are any mistakes (grammar/spelling), let me know. Please read and review.

Sousuke woke up to find that the place next to him was empty, which put a small frown on his face. He had wanted to take Makoto in his arms and cuddle a little more as a way to enjoy the atmosphere that had filled the house yesterday a little longer.

Yesterday was their eighth anniversary and they had spent the day enjoying each other's company. They woke up late, seeing as both of them had taken the day off of work, and enjoyed their lazy day. In the evening they had gone out to have dinner at their favourite restaurant and when they had come home their attention was only on each other. They had made their way up to their room and had made love to each other like it was the first time. Very slowly, intimately and passionately.

Seeing as Sousuke wanted to enjoy those feelings a little bit more, he was a bit disappointed to find the bed empty. Still half tired and his mood a little down, he put on his boxer briefs and made his way down the stairs.

When he was about to enter the kitchen, he stopped and leant against the doorway. He saw his husband standing behind the stove making breakfast. Makoto was clad only in his boxer briefs and wore a shirt of Sousuke's. The sight before him made Sousuke's slightly grumpy mood vanish into thin air, so he stood there for a few moments and just looked at his husband.

Finally, he decided to enter the kitchen and made his way over to Makoto, wrapping his arms around Makoto's middle.

Makoto made a little jump of surprise before he gave a slight chuckle.

"Good morning." he said with a smile on his face as he turned around to give Sousuke a peck on the lips.

"Good morning." was the answer he got as he turned back around to make sure that the food wouldn't burn.

They stood there for a few moments in silence, just enjoying each other's company.

Suddenly Sousuke started kissing and nibbling Makoto's neck saying, "I don't want to go to work today. I want to stay here with you all day. Maybe we can do a repeat of yesterday."

Chuckling, Makoto answered. "If you go to work, I'll give you a present when you come home."

"Mmm, what kind of present?" Sousuke asked still kissing Makoto's neck.

"Who knows? You'll have to go to work and wait and see to find out." he said a little teasingly.

Sousuke let out a sigh, dropping his head in the crook between Makoto's neck and shoulder and letting go of Makoto's waist.

"It better be a good present." he said, looking a little bit like a child who was told to first make his homework before going out to play with his friends.

"It'll be an amazing present." Makoto said now turning around to take Sousuke, who was slightly sulking, in his arms. "Now eat and get dressed or you're going to be late." he said with a fond smile while their noses touched.

When Sousuke was about to leave for work, Makoto gave him a kiss and said that he could expect his favourite meal for dinner that night, lifting a tip of the veil for that night's gift.

Little did they know what would happen that day to mess up the plans they had made.
