Chapter 1: The Day Begins!

"Thank god it's 5pm." Misaki muttered, checking her phone. "I don't think I could have spent anther minute with that idiot."

She was still pissed off as she quickly walked out of the towering building.

"That guy just can't compromise, huh? So stubborn," she muttered to herself, hailing a cab. So far, she hadn't been enjoying her time in New York City, since it had been full of nothing but long meetings and difficult people. She was looking forward to being able to relax for the night, since she had just finished work for the day. After the cab pulled up to the hotel she got out and went up to her room, trying to forget about that horrible meeting she had just finished. Upon reaching her room, she turned the key and entered, locking the door behind her. She slipped off her heels and left her bag on the table next to her.

"Nice seeing you here, Madame Diplomat" a voice called from the other end of the room. She whipped around, recognizing the voice instantly.

"TAKUMI!" Misaki yelled.

"Happy to see me?" He questioned suggestively.

"N-no! How the hell did you get in the room? I have the key!" Misaki stammered angrily.

"Relax, I told the lady in the lobby I wanted to surprise you, so she let me in." Takumi explained. "This isn't the welcome I expected though, Misaki."

"Then don't scare me like that idiot-" Misaki started before letting out a long sigh. "Ah... sorry, I'm a bit worked up because my last meeting wasn't going well. That crazy Russian diplomat just kept interrupting me and wouldn't listen to what I had to say! But, I am that glad you're here... I missed you" she continued, her anger quickly fading as a smile grew across her face.

Takumi grinned. "I missed you too, that's why I flew over. I just couldn't stand to be without you another day."

He got up from the bed where he had been sitting, walked over to his wife, and placed his hands delicately on her cheeks as he kissed her. What began as a sweet and innocent kiss soon became more passionate and intense. Misaki hadn't had such intimate contact in weeks, and she quickly realized just how lonely she had been without Takumi around. Running her hands through his hair, she could feel her face getting redder as she leaned in hungrily. Even after being together for years, the love they had for each other hadn't died down at all. In fact, it had only become stronger, since most of the uncertainty and awkwardness from their high school years was gone. When she was a teenager, Misaki had been afraid to admit her feelings to herself but now, she knew she really loved him.

"Wow, you really missed me didn't you?" Takumi said smirking when they finally pulled apart.

"Is there anything important you needed to tell me, Takumi?" Misaki questioned, ignoring his comment. "Even for you, it's strange to fly here all the way from England just to see me."

"Hmm? Assuming I need some big reason to want to see my wife when I'm lonely? How ignorant of you," Takumi chuckled as he watched Misaki frown. "However, a very important date is coming up and I wanted to be here when it happened."

"What's coming up?" Misaki asked, slightly annoyed because of the 'ignorant' comment.

"Really, Misaki-chan? Have you completely forgotten? It's our anniversary. Tomorrow, we will have been married for exactly one year," Takumi said, smiling.

"Huh? Oh right...that," replied Misaki, blushing. A little smile crept onto her face, to which Takumi responded with more kisses.

"Well maybe we should go out for dinner or something? What do you want?" Misaki asked.

"Don't worry, I've already gotten some groceries, they're in the kitchen. Let's make dinner together," replied Takumi. "I want to see how much your cooking skills have improved since we last made dinner."

"Why are you bringing that up, you dummy?! How many times did I apologize for almost cutting your hand off?" Misaki exclaimed. "Besides... I've been ordering food everyday here, so I don't think I've gotten any better."

"Well then you can wash the vegetables, and I'll do all the actual preparation. We're having salad tonight, so it shouldn't be too hard."

Deciding that arguing would do no good, Misaki agreed. As they prepared dinner, they caught each other up on what had been going on in their lives. Misaki told Takumi about her busy schedule full of meetings and conferences, and he told her that things back in England were pretty uneventful.

"The castle has been very boring lately. Especially without my Misaki around." He flashed a smile at his wife.

"So how long are you planning on staying?" She asked, bringing the bowl of salad to the table as Takumi brought over the plates and utensils.

"Well I was hoping to stay with you until the end of your conference. Then we could fly back to England together!" Takumi proposed.

"But what about back home? Doesn't the castle need its Doctor?" Misaki asked, brushing her hand across his cheek.

"I told you, nothing interesting is happening there. Everything's fine, and if they really have some emergency I'll fly back over. Nothing to worry about."

"Good. So I get more time with you," Misaki said shyly, turning away as she tried to suppress a grin.

"Hmm, looks like you're done eating?" Takumi questioned, getting up.

"Yeah just about fin-" Misaki began, but her words were stopped when Takumi pressed his lips to hers.

"Geez, Takumi! Let's at least clean up first" said Misaki, though she showed no sign of wanting to stop as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Clean up can wait," he replied, picking her up and carrying her over to the bed. "I really missed you, Misaki," he said in between kisses.

"I missed you too, Takumi."

Misaki woke up to the sun shining on her face and the noises of the city coming in through the open window.

It's already light outside? Misaki wondered, what time is it? She reached over to the bedside table, eyes still blurry from having just woken up, and checked the time on her phone. 7:23 am. Wait, 7:23?!

Misaki gasped. Her first meeting for the day started in seven minutes! Plus, she knew it took at least five to get to the conference hall, and that didn't include getting out of bed, getting dressed, and grabbing something to eat. "Shoot" she muttered to herself angrily as she sat up, "Haruto isn't going to appreciate me showing up late! How did I let myself sleep in? Didn't I set an alarm?"

Suddenly, she remembered what had happened the night before. She hadn't had time to set an alarm because Takumi had surprised her...

"That idiot is going to make me late! TAKUMI, WHERE ARE YOU?" she growled loudly, though no response came. "...Takumi?" she ventured again, this time softer. There was no one in the room.

"Am I imagining things? Was he even here?" She said to herself, thoroughly confused. She glanced to the other side of the bed, and saw the covers pulled down and a slight imprint in the mattress. "No, he was definitely here," she concluded.

The dishes from yesterday! She thought to herself, remembering they hadn't cleaned up before getting into bed. She got out of bed and walked over to where they had eaten last night, and saw that any evidence that there had been a meal there was gone. Suddenly she remembered- the time! She ran back to her phone- 7:28. Shit. She was going to be very late.

"Of course it's Takumi's fault, of course he would be the one to make me late," she grumbled to herself as she walked over to the closet. "I don't even know where he went, but that's not important right now. What's important is the fact that I'm going to make a fool of myself walking in late to my meeting!" She reached to open the closet door, and was surprised to see all her clothes had been removed, save for a single outfit, one she had never seen before. On its hanger she found a note, which read: put on your new clothes and meet me outside the room. Hope you enjoy ;)

"Damn it, Takumi!" she exclaimed. " Now is not the time for this, I'm late to a meeting!" She grabbed her phone. "7:30. Well, I'm officially late. Thanks a lot, idiot Usui."

Since there was nothing else to wear, she put on what Takumi had given her. There was a sleeveless forest green blouse, and a pair of black shorts. It was nothing too fancy, although the overall outfit, when paired with a set of rose gold pearl earrings and a matching bracelet, looked quite elegant. "It's a nice outfit" she decided, examining her reflection in the full length mirror opposite the door. "... But what is he up to? I'm still going to be late to my meeting! He probably didn't realize I had work today."

She flung her bag over her shoulder and slipped her feet into some simple back flats. Realizing there was not even enough time to make toast, she decided she'd stop in a cafe later. So, she unlocked the door and stepped outside.

"There's my queen! Do you know how long I have been waiting for you, my love?" A smile stretched across the face of none other than Usui Takumi as he spoke those words.

"What's the meaning of all this?" Misaki asked, annoyed. She then gasped slightly, fully taking in the sight before her. He was in a clean white button down, khaki shorts, and held a bouquet of white roses in one hand. With the other, he took his wife's hand gently and pressed his lips to it. Then, he interlaced his fingers with hers and began walking. "Follow me and you'll find out," he said ambiguously.

Speechless, Misaki followed her husband to the elevator. When they got in, and they were the only ones inside, Takumi handed her the bouquet. "Happy anniversary, Misaki," he said, giving her a light peck on the cheek.

Misaki couldn't help blushing as she accepted the roses. "This... this is really sweet honey. But I have meetings today. Couldn't you have checked with me first to see if my schedule was open?"

"I know how important your work is to you. However, I called your coworker Haruto yesterday before you got to the apartment. I told him that this was a very special day for us, and he told me he could excuse you from your meetings for today. You don't need to worry, Misaki, the other Japanese diplomats will still be at the meetings, and they will be fine," Takumi explained.

God, Misaki thought to herself, not wanting to admit that she was impressed, he had this all planned out. Typical Takumi.

"So...now what?" She questioned, assuming he had the rest of the day planned as well.

"Well first on the list is breakfast" said Takumi, leading her out of the elevator as it reached the lobby. As the two walked out to the front exit, Misaki could see people in the lobby glancing at them subtly. It couldn't have been their clothes; they fit in with the atmosphere of the upscale hotel. Perhaps it was the giant bouquet of flowers. Yes, it was definitely the flowers. They were, admittedly, gorgeous.

"Takumi, people keep looking at us" Misaki whispered in her husband's ear, embarrassed. "Why did you have to buy me the biggest bouquet anyone's ever seen?"

"Well we ought to give them something worth staring at besides those silly roses, huh?" he asked. Before she could ask him what hemeant, he stopped walking, and in one swift movement, leaned back his wife and brought his lips to hers. Misaki felt her cheeks flush as she wrapped her hands rapidly around Takumi's neck. When he brought her back to a standing position and began walking again, he whispered "I hope they all enjoyed that as much as we did."

"What do you mean we?" his wife hissed, embarrassed at everyone staring. He knew she had always been embarrassed by PDA. While before the looks had been subtle, the people in the lobby were now undoubtedly and openly staring.

"I know you enjoyed that Misaki. You had your hands all over me" he whispered in her ear suggestively. "Just like you did last night."

"D-Don't bring up something like that in public!" She stammered. "Besides, I put my arms around your neck reflexively! I thought I was going to fall!" She knew he would never accept that, even though it was the truth.

"I'm sure" he said sarcastically, keeping his voice low as they got to the lobby's exit. The two walked outside and were greeted by the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple's busy streets. Takumi led his wife over to a sleek black car where the door was already open.

So he planned all the transportation today too, huh? Misaki thought to herself as she entered the car, followed by her husband. "I suppose I shouldn't ask where we're headed, because you aren't going to tell me" she said, more as a statement than and actual question.

"You know me," Takumi said, kissing her once again, this time just a light peck followed by a chuckle.

After a little while, the car came to a stop as it pulled over in front of an fancy cafe. The chauffeur got out and opened the door for Misaki and Takumi to exit.

"You can leave the roses in the car if you want, it'll be back after breakfast" Takumi told Misaki, taking her hand and leading her into the cafe in front of them.

"Name?" Asked the man standing at the booth inside the cafe.

"Usui."

"Follow me, please" the man responded politely.

The were led to a round mahogany table by a window. As soon as the two sat down, a waiter arrived with a plate of croissants. "Your main course will be here shortly" the waiter said before leaving.

"Main course? For breakfast? Am I at least going to order or something?" Misaki questioned.

"Our food has already been ordered and paid for, you don't need to worry at all. I picked something I know you'll like" Takumi replied, spreading butter on a croissant.

"This is all amazing honey, really" Misaki said with sincerity. "But now I feel bad. I don't have anything for you for our anniversary..." she said disappointingly.

"I don't expect anything from you, Misaki. Just having you here with me is the only present I need" Takumi said, smiling. "You're always going somewhere new, and I feel like we don't get to spend enough time with each other."

"Well if you want to hear some good news" Misaki said, between bites "my next conference will be in London! That means we can be together for at least 2 months."

"That's great" Takumi said, lovingly.

When they finished eating, the two got up and made their way back to the car. "I wonder what's next on Takumi's anniversary day list" Misaki said jokingly, interlacing her fingers with his and leaning her head on his shoulder.

The car continued on for quite some time, and when it started to slow down, Misaki figured out their next destination.

"Takumi...are we going to an amusement park?" she questioned skeptically.

"Looks like you guessed it" he said.

"I haven't been to one of these in years" she said. "The last one was on that double date with Sakura and Kuuga, and that was maybe 8 years ago! I mean, aren't they for kids?"

"Aww you're no fun. What do you mean 'aren't they for kids'?"

"I mean we're 29 now, and 29 year olds don't go to amusement parks often."

"Come on, Misaki" Takumi said, getting out of the car once it had come to a stop. Pulling her out, he continued "don't you at least want to feel like a kid again? You're always focused on your work, but sometimes you just need time to relax. Remember when we first went to an amusement park together? That was one of the best days of my life, and I hope it was the same for you."

Misaki could feel the memories coming back, of that Christmas 12 years ago. "Of course I remember" she said, blushing. "That was the day you asked me to be your girlfriend" she recalled, turning her head down as a smile grew across her face.

"Then let's just enjoy today" said Takumi, taking her hand and heading towards the park.

"...Okay" Misaki agreed, smiling.

Misaki couldn't remember the last time she had laughed so hard, or smiled so much till her cheeks hurt. At first, she had been somewhat embarrassed when they entered the amusement park and were surrounded by groups of children. However, the adrenaline kicked in on the first roller coaster. From that point on, she decided she didn't care that she was older than a lot of the people there. In fact, she even saw a lot of couples who looked older than her and Takumi! But all that mattered was that she was enjoying herself with the man she loved.

"Wow, it feels like we're back in high school, huh? Just like old times" Misaki giggled, sitting on a bench next to Takumi and eating ice cream. She was wiping back tears from laughing so much; they were reminiscing on the way they had been stalked in that amusement park 12 years ago.

"If you really want it to be like old times you could call me master and I could tease you some more" Takumi said, licking Misaki's ice cream cone and sporting a grin.

"As if you ever stopped teasing me!" Misaki exclaimed, pushing him away playfully for continuing to eat her ice cream instead of his own.

"It's just my specialty" he retorted, leaning in for a kiss. Misaki sighed, but accepted the kiss.

"How about we go on one more ride, then we call it a day?" Takumi asked. "It's almost 6."

"Huh! The day went by so quickly..." Misaki mused.

They decided to get in line for the biggest roller coaster of the park, which they hadn't gone on yet due to the long line. When they got off the ride, out of breath and slightly dizzy, they exited the park and found the black car waiting for them.

"This has been a really fun day, Takumi. Thanks for helping me enjoy myself, I was so caught up in my work on this trip but you really helped bring me out of my bad mood" Misaki smiled, kissing her husband.

"The day's not over yet, sweetheart" Takumi grinned, lifting her chin gently as he kissed back.

"Is there more?" she asked innocently between kisses.

"We'll just have to wait and see" he replied.
