She has no idea how happy is right now. Of course, this may be because she's fast asleep, but he doesn't mind.

He loves waking up next to her.

He's a bit disappointed that she's escaped his arms this time, because he is one hundred percent certain that both of them fell asleep, tangled in limbs and blankets. This morning, she's a bit of an arms distance away, facing in the opposite direction. His heart swells, and he knows he'll never get tired of waking up to this.

Tadashi feels a wave of contentment at seeing his closest friend wrapped up in blankets next to him. He's so certain he's never loved anyone more than he's loved GoGo, despite what people might tell you about ending up with your best friend. It might be cheesy, but he remembers their first hello, the first time they held hands, and their first kiss. He remembers the first time he told her he loved her, and the first time she told him.

GoGo makes a small noise from the back of her throat, and snuggles in even deeper into her blankets, so that only the top of her head is showing. He chuckles, and wants to touch her so badly, but doesn't want to wake her up.

Instead, he rolls over so that he's staring at the ceiling, contemplating on their life. Three years and a half. That's technically the length of their relationship, but he knows he's held feelings for her for a longer time than that. It wasn't an easy relationship, mind you. Tadashi was very affectionate by nature, while it took GoGo at least four months to have the courage to kiss him first. It wasn't easy to love her, especially when she was hell-bent on shutting people out and keeping them out.

But he did. And he didn't regret it - never regretted it. Ever.

Because behind all of that steel, all of her scary faces and stinging remarks, was someone who cared. Someone who stayed up taking care of him when he got salmonella. Someone who paid for his ticket when he was caught running a red light. Someone who nursed all his cuts, and gave him pep talks when he felt like giving up on whatever he was working on. She was a rarity, a feisty little speed queen who packed a -

A blinding pain sears up the side of his face and he sits up, wincing. Yes, his lady packed a punch. He turned to look at her, holding a hand against his cheek, and saw that she was now facing him. Her arm was thrown haphazardly over his pillow, and he knew what had happened.

It wouldn't be the first time she hit him in her sleep.

Her eyes slowly blink open, and he watches as her eyes slowly adjust to her surroundings. He smiles wryly at her, and she suddenly looks panicked, shooting up in bed as well. "Did I hit you again?" she cries out, staring at his cheek. Her short hair is ruffled up in an impressive, spiky tangled mess that's dangerously close to an afro, which Tadashi decides not to mention.

"Good morning to you too, beautiful," he replies. "No, you didn't. I just-"

GoGo reaches over and yanks his hand away from his cheek. "Stop lying to me." She studies his cheek for a while. "... I don't think it's going to bruise."

"This time?" he teases, and leans over to kiss her on the cheek.

She blushes, and frowns at him. "Stop reminding me about that! That was my lowest moment."

He places a hand over his heart, grinning. "I'm flattered."

"Stop it!" she pouts, and crosses her arms across her chest. "The embarrassment I felt when that nurse actually asked me I was abusing you..." she shudders. "Never again."

"Hey, hey," he chuckles, placing a hand on her cheek. "It's not your fault you were wearing your engagement ring to sleep. Diamonds are sharp." His eyes travelled to a pile of white fabric draped over a chair in the corner. "Speaking of..."

"I know, I know," she said, and lay back in bed. "I'll take care of it soon."

He grins, and lies down next to her, wrapping his arms around her. "You have to return it before we leave, you know?"

"Ugh. Okay, okay, I'll have it... Ironed or whatever you have to do when you return dresses."

Tadashi laughs, and starts giving her butterfly kisses all over her face, moving down her neck and across her shoulder. "I love you," he murmurs in between kisses.

GoGo can't help but smile. "I love you too. You're in a good mood today, Hamada."

He has an evil glint in his eyes. "You know that doesn't really work anymore... Mrs. Hamada." As expected, she blushes. "Still getting used to it, huh?"

"Oh, shut up. It takes more than two days to get used to a new last name." she sticks her tongue out at him and wiggles away from his grasp. "I can call you Hamada whenever I want." He rolls his eyes. "I know you just rolled your eyes!" She turns around to berate him, but is surprised when she sees the nostalgic, love-sick look on his face. "What's with the face?"

"I could get used to this," he says simply, and presses a chaste kiss against her lips. "Mrs. Hamada."

"Keep that up, and I'll think you're more in love with your last name than with me," she teases, and pokes him on the nose. "You big, soft-hearted dummy."

He sits up again, and stretches. "Did you have anything in mind for breakfast? Mrs. Hamada?" He adds as a whim, and watches her roll her eyes.

"Make me pancakes. In the shape of hearts."

"Just hearts?"

"If you want to make pancakes that spell out 'I love you, Mrs. Hamada' in kanji, then be my guest," she shoots back, watching him consider her request. She shoves at his side. "I was kidding!"

He laughs. "Hearts it is, my beautiful bride."

She rolls over so she can sit on her own side of the bed, and eventually stands up, wrapping the blankets over her like a cape. "I'll follow you downstairs once I'm dressed, husband." She doesn't hear a response from him, and, shrugging to herself, she removes her tank top and replaces it with an oversized t-shirt. Before she can take off her sweats, she feels a pair of arms wrap around her, and she smiles to herself as she feels Tadashi's chin on the top of her head. "What is it?"

"You called me husband." She can hear the awe in his voice, and she turns around so that they're facing each other.

"Well..." she says slowly, and wraps her arms around his waist. "We are married, you know. Get used to it." She stands up on her tiptoes and kisses him on the lips. "Now. My pancakes."

He laughs. "Of course."

Just a little drabble I felt like doing. D'awwww. I haven't done a married Tadashi and GoGo fic. These two are slowly becoming an addiction. Please help me stop. Or not.

Sorry for the delays on Plans A-Z and Seven Days (and countless others)! I'm getting to them, I promise. I'm just dealing with plot bunnies.
