Yami no Matsuei

Disclaimer: I do not own Yami no Matsuei. Darn!

A/N: This is a continuation of a story I wrote sometime back. It's been awhile but I really wanted to expand this one and have fun with it. Enjoy!

The click-clacking of the train's wheels along steel tracks had such a hypnotic vibe that Tsuzuki was surprised he hadn't fallen asleep by now. But he was too excited. Much too happy and excited.

Married

The gold ring's weight made it real because it seemed very unreal to the brunet. At least for now. He knew, however, that in time he would be used to referring to Muraki as his husband.

My husband

How wonderful those words were! Tsuzuki grinned and snuggled against his husband's warm, strong body. Right now, his husband was sleeping peacefully, an arm around the brunet's waist. Tsuzuki peered up, barely making out Muraki's beautiful profile in the semi-dark cabin.

No. It just wasn't possible to be used to calling Muraki "my husband." The guardian slowly slid his hand up the other man's white chest, settling his palm over the right nipple, brushing his fingertips lightly over the puckered nub. Muraki's brows knitted and he let out a soft moan, turning his head to the side.

Startled, Tsuzuki stopped, not wanting to wake his husband up. Well, it seemed Muraki was sensitive even in sleep. Tsuzuki smirked at that.

With their honeymoon destination coming closer, Tsuzuki could only imagine where it could be.

He hoped for a tropical location where he could see and hear the ocean and maybe get his feet underneath wet sand, such was rare his opportunity to do so. Or perhaps a fancy hotel stay in the snow-capped mountains with a cozy fireplace and liters of hot chocolate. Or maybe in a bustling city with skyscrapers in neon lights and trendy eating places and pulsating night spots.

Muraki certainly wasn't giving any hints. Even when Tsuzuki 'tortured' him with kisses, the silver blond didn't give an inch. Hmph.

It didn't matter. As long as he was with Muraki he would enjoy wherever they went. In fact, he was enjoying himself right now in a train compartment clacking along on the steel tracks.

Tsuzuki yawned.

He better get to sleep if he was going to have any energy tomorrow. He wanted to be well rested for what lay ahead. Reaching for his husband's hand, Tsuzuki chanced a kiss on the silver blond's cheek.

"Love you, Kazutaka," he whispered, smiling when Muraki tightened his arm around him.

He closed his eyes, excitement thrumming through his veins.

With the train trip behind them, the two men embarked aboard a private and luxurious yacht, the likes of which Tsuzuki had never seen! His violet eyes went wide as saucers at the hugeness of it. Never in his life had he seen such large ship! And to think that someone could afford such a vessel. Going up the plank, Tsuzuki turned his head this way and that, taking it all in.

"Wow! I just am..." He shook his head. "I can't believe someone owns this, Kazutaka!"

Muraki held fast to the brunet's hand leading him on board. The sea breeze felt cool and refreshing against their faces.

"This way. Up to the main deck for a better view," Muraki directed, guiding the way.

The view was spectacular! Tsuzuki leaned over the railing and took a deep breath. He filled his lungs with fresh salty air. Wonderful! Muraki came behind the smaller man and wrapped his arms around the trim waist. He pointed out to the horizon, whispering in Tsuzuki's ear. Tsuzuki smiled and nodded.

A loud horn then blasted.

"We're ready to sail," Muraki informed, pressing a kiss to Tsuzuki's temple. "Excited?"

"Absolutely!" Tsuzuki exclaimed, violets shining, gripping the railing. "This is great! I've never taken a sea voyage before! New experience for me! And that you were able to book a passage on your friend's yacht..."

Muraki chuckled, laying his cheek against the top of the brunet's head. "I have a feeling this honeymoon will bring many new experiences for us both. Right now, seeing the sunset on the ocean's horizon is new for me. The sea seems endless as though we were the only two in this world."

"I feel that way too, Kazutaka," Tsuzuki agreed, leaning back into Muraki. "So beautiful. It would be great to paint this so I can have a remembrance of this moment."

"Indeed. But will a kiss do instead?"

"That'll work," Tsuzuki smiled, turning his head for that sweet kiss.

The two men quietly watched the sun setting lower and lower, the sky turning from an orange and red flame into a pink and purple and finally deep indigo, the multitude of stars making a winking appearance. Tsuzuki sighed in contentment nuzzling his cheek against his husband's. The temperature had dropped considerably by this time and Muraki took note.

"Time to head inside, I think. A little snack and a warm bath."

Taking Tsuzuki's hand in his, they made their way across the sundeck. Muraki seemed to know where he to go as he went through the various doors and corridors. Tsuzuki looked this way and that, overwhelmed by the rich mahogany wood floors and banisters, glass partitions, crystal light fixtures, gold trimmings, velvet cushioned chairs and lounge seats. Never had he seen such luxury!

"It's hard to believe one person can afford this...I mean, it's just amazing! And your friend certainly is generous to let just us use it," Tsuzuki marveled.

Muraki merely smiled as they came to an elevator. He pushed the button for "up" and pulled his husband in his arms for a kiss or two. Tsuzuki laughed, hugging the silver blond, his mood buoyant. When the doors slid open, they stepped inside and were whisked up four floors. The elevator opened to the fifth floor.

Stepping out, Tsuzuki again gaped for what seemed like the hundredth time since boarding.

"What the...?!"

Settling in the large bubbly bath overlooking the ocean, Tsuzuki just couldn't believe it. An outdoor Jacuzzi/bath situated on the balcony of the largest suite the brunet had ever seen. The bed with its ivory silk sheets and deep gold and green comforter and multitude of plush pillows was enough to sleep ten. The gold and green bath had every modern convenience with jets and heated tile floor. Everything screamed wealth and high class.

Now, the two men were reclining in the warm water, the jets mixing the water into a frothy brew, the night sky spattered with a million stars.

"More champagne, beloved?'

Tsuzuki broke out of his reverie and accepted more of the golden liquid in his crystal wine glass.

"Happy honeymoon!" Tsuzuki toasted with a burst of energy, raising his glass high.

Grinning, Muraki clinked glasses. "Happy honeymoon, beloved. A wonderful start, I think."

Sipping the bubbly beverage, Tsuzuki nodded. "I'll say! It can't get any better than this! This is so romantic, Kazutaka!"

"I'm glad. Just my husband admiring the scenery," he reached his across and brushed the back of his fingers along Tsuzuki's cheek. "And I, admiring such beauty..."

Tsuzuki blushed, lowering his eyes, feeling very much like a nervous newlywed. Muraki had a way of doing that to him. "It...it goes both ways, Kazutaka," he replied, violets glowing. Smiling, Muraki moved closer and kissed the brunet tenderly.

"I cannot believe how utterly fortunate I am that such a beautiful, strong, adorable, fiercely spirited man loves me let alone marries me. What did I do to deserve such happiness, I wonder?" Muraki whispered, silver eyes searching his husband's face. "I ask myself this over and over."

"Kazutaka," Tsuzuki swallows the lump in his throat, violets blurring. "I...I ask myself that too...what did I do to deserve such a beautiful, loving, protective, passionate man."

Silver eyes shimmer. "I love you, Asato," The silver blond's tone softens. "I love you, you brat."

Tsuzuki burst out laughing and nods, brushing away the tears. "And I love you, moon dumpling."

Muraki laughs and pulls the violet-eyed beauty into his embrace, pressing kiss after kiss against his husband's blushing cheek.

Tsuzuki succumbs to the kisses Muraki bestows upon him, his heart light and utterly joyous.
