Chapter 1: Moving In Together

"Damn, there's a lot of stuff in here," huffed Lal as she carried another box to the house.

"Well, we did just get married, kora!" grinned Colonello. "It's natural to move in with each other."

"But why couldn't we move in to my place?"

"That's because your room was a bit cramped for the two of us," he explained.

Lal sighed and stared up in to the sky. 'That's right. It's been a few years since the Arcobaleno curse was broken,' thought Lal. 'Since then, our love has blossomed and we got married.' She holds up her hand and looks at her wedding ring. The ring was silver and it had a red ruby (shaped as a heart) in the middle of the ring. On each side of the ruby were two small purple amethysts.

"Need help with those boxes Lal?" asked Colonello. She quickly turns and glares at him. He easily carried two boxes on each arm.

"No, it's fine." Lal said briskly. She grabs a box and carries it in to the house. Unfortunately, she wasn't watching where she was going and tripped on a box in her path. Contents spilled from the box she was carrying.

"Who the hell put this box here?" yelled Lal. Colonello walks over to her and helped her up. He looks at the box she tripped on and smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, kora!" he quickly said, looking at Lal. Lal scowled and started swearing at him. Colonello's baby-blue eyes looked in to her eyes, begging for forgiveness.

She looked into his eyes and sighed. "You're forgiven," As soon as she uttered those words, he grinned widely.

Lal bent down to pick up the spilled contents from the box. As she picked up the last item, she paused. It was a silver crown. Colonello sees her standing there and walks over.

"What are you looking at, kora?" His eyes grew big as he eyes the crown in her hand. "Isn't that the crown –"

"- from Reborn's Midnight After-Party?" finished Lal. "Yeah, seems like it."

"Wow, I never knew that you kept the crown, kora!"

"I guess I did keep it…"

Colonello wrapped his strong arms around Lal and hugged her. "You're getting more ladylike," he said, teasingly.

Lal twitched her eyebrows before punching Colonello in the gut. "Are you trying to piss me off?" she asked, eyes flashed with annoyance.

Colonello smiled in pain and amusement. "Maybe."

"Why you little-"She tightened up both her fists then stopped. The silver crown she held in her hand was poking her skin. Lal stared at the crown, remembering what happened during the party. She started to feel a bit…nostalgic.

Colonello took this chance to walk away from Lal, returning with the cloak he wore during the Midnight After-Party. He draped it over Lal's shoulders. She gasped and snapped her head up; only to meet with Colonello's lips. Colonello kisses her gently and slips his tongue in to her mouth. She shivers but doesn't move away. He soon breaks the kiss and takes the silver crown from Lal's hand. He gently places it on her head and kissed her forehead.

"Would you like to dance?" asked Colonello, hand extended towards Lal.

She blushes and replies, "W-What do you think?"

Colonello laughs and walks Lal to the living room. He turns on the radio and slow music began pouring out of the speakers. They both get into position and slow dance, looking deeply into each other's eyes.

"Remembered how we slow danced on the last dance?" asked Colonello slyly.

Lal blushed and looked away. "It was the most embarrassing moment in my life."

Colonello chuckled. "Did you not like my kisses?" He points to Lal's neck. "The kiss mark I gave you is already gone… Should I make a new one?" He tilts Lal's head to the side and sucks her skin, leaving a new kiss mark.

"C-Colonello!" gasped Lal as he began to make more kiss marks.

"Yes, dear?"

"S-Stop it! It's embarrassing," Lal stammers, blushing.

'Aw, she's so cute when she blushes,' thought Colonello as he left his third kiss mark. Suddenly, he remembers the promise Lal made during the Three-Legged Race. He smiles mischievously as he turns off the radio and stared at Lal.

"W-What is it Colonello?" asked Lal nervously, sensing something bad is about to happen. Boy was she right. The next thing she knows, she's being carried (bridal styled!) to their bedroom.

"Put me down this instant!" commanded Lal. Colonello ignores her and sets her on their bed. He leans in and kisses her, more furiously this time.

"Mmm!" Lal breaks the kiss but he quickly gives her another kiss. "S-Stop!" Lal manages to utter out, panting.

Colonello stops for a moment. "Why should I?"

"Because I never agreed to this!" she yelled. Colonello just grinned.

"But you promised to pay me back! Remember, kora?"

"And when was that?" she shot back.

"During the Midnight After-Party, kora!"

Lal pauses a moment and closes her eyes, trying to remember.

Flashback:

Is that all the thanks I get?" Colonello smirked.

"I-I'll pay you back later! Now is not the time for this!" she stammered.

End of Flashback.

She opened her eyes and blushed. Colonello saw her blushing and grinned. "So you do remember kora!"

"Yeah, I remember all right…" she murmured, embarrassed. "But I didn't mean to pay you back this way!"

"Too bad," Colonello brought Lal in for another kiss. She stopped him by kicking him in the thighs.

"Fine, I'll let you do that with me if you defeat me in a sparring match." Declared Lal.

Colonello pauses for a moment. Then he grins. "You're on, kora!"

Both of them head to the fitness room and stand on opposite sides of the room.

"Ready, kora?" asked Colonello.

Lal gets in to fighting position. "Ready."

"Let's start, kora!" Soon, they were both sparing with each other, neither of them holding back. The fight lasted for an hour until the winner was clearly shown.

"I win, pant, kora!" panted Colonello. Lal was on the ground, also panting.

'When did he get so good?' thought Lal, frustrated on her lost.

"Now then," Colonello went to Lal and picked her up, bridal style, and headed towards their room.

"L-Let me go!" she yelled, trying to break free. Unfortunately, the sparring had left her quite tired and unable to fight back.

"A promise is a promise," smirked Colonello, still carrying her to their room.

Lal quickly thought for a moment and blurted out the first excuse she could think of. "But it's still morning!"

Colonello stopped in the hallway and glanced at Lal. Seeing her blushing face, he sighed and placed her down. "Fine, but tonight, we're going all the way. No turning back and no running away. Deal?"

Lal groaned. "Deal." She quickly turns to unpack her boxes of stuff. She takes off the silver crown from her head and sighed. 'Look what mess this one crown got me in to.'

I guess you could call this a sequel... But this sequel will have at least two chapters.

Note: Their wedding ring has Colonello and Lal's birthstones on it. Also, there might be a bit OOC so sorry about that.

Warning: The next chapter is going to be a bit mature...
