Things to do with the one you love.
Listen to music in the dark.
When things are bad, Shigeru wraps Satoshi up in bed and puts on music quietly with the lights out. Spend all day in bed whispering i love yous and soft kisses under the cool sheets until you both feel better.
Take bubble baths together.
Shigeru sometimes comes home from a long stressful day at work to find that Satoshi has run him a candle lit bubble bath.
"You're so sweet" Shigeru sighs while kissing Satoshi on the forehead
"Will you join me?" he asks while stripping down and testing the water with his toe
Without answering Satoshi has already yanked his shirt over his head and thrown his boxers through the door into their bedroom.
Resting his back on Shigeru's chest, they spent a good 10 minutes cuddling each other and watching steam rise up from their skin through the candlelight.
Stay up all night
Shigeru walked into their living room balancing popcorn, crisps, chocolate bars and plenty of lollipops for Satoshi's sugar needs in his arms
"I hope this is enough for us" he said crawling into the fort they made in their living room with every blanket in the house they could find.
"If not we can always make pancakes later, you know how much I love your pancakes!" Satoshi exclaimed grabbing the box of popcorn and settling it between them both.
They spent the whole evening watching movies, laughing, crying and cuddling. As soon as the sun started to rise they both stood by their patio doors, wrapped up together in a blanket watching the sky awaken.
Do cute things for each other
It's always the little things that count, the ones that mean more thought than money. Every Friday when Shigeru finished work he would always take the long way home so he could stop by the town's local gardens and pick a bunch of wild flowers for his Satoshi. He'd come home to see Satoshi slaving away in the kitchen in his pikachu apron making dinner for them too, creeping up behind him, Shigeru wraps his arms around Satoshi and kisses his neck.
"Eeek! You scared me" Shigeru screeched while dropping the wooden spoon he was using to stir their soup.
"Sorry honey" Shigeru giggled and spun Satoshi around and gave him a deep passionate kiss which then Satoshi completely forgot about their dinner and could hear the soup boiling up.
"Now look what you did!" Satoshi scowled and ran for the cooker, turning down all hobs.
Shigeru picked up the bunch of flowers he picked for him, some gypsophila, freesias and light pink roses, tapped Satoshi on the shoulder and held out the bunch to him.
Satoshi's eyes lit up, forgetting why he was annoyed at Shigeru he leaped up into his arms kissing his face.
"You're an idiot" Satoshi giggled and put his flowers into a vase, and set it on the table next to the photo frames of them both throughout the years.
Comfort
Hold him until he stops crying, kiss him softly, tell him comforting words. Lift up his spirits and cuddle him until he falls asleep. Tell him he's beautiful even when he's been crying for hours and has bloodshot eyes and sticky hair. Listen to him. Brush his hair and caress his hands. Even if he does wake up at 4 am screaming from a nightmare, comfort him straight away, tell him everything's going to be okay. Comfort each other.
