Of course, if you are a married woman, you are expected to do some household chores. The most common one is cooking for your spouse.
You were just a 19 year old maiden when your policeman boyfriend decided to marry you because he got bored sending you to dates and then taking you home after (or so he said). He thought that it would be convenient if the two of you were just living in one home so he can cut the 10 minute walk to the Yorozuya from the Shinsengumi HQ as it was getting tiring.
You agreed because you think 'why not?' and furthermore, Gin-chan's closet was getting unbelievably suffocating and lacked enough space to stretch your legs. You didn't think twice and agreed to your boyfriend's proposal right away.
Gin-chan and Shinpachi were shocked at first but then when your policeman boyfriend started blackmailing them, they finally agreed. Kinda?
But Okita Sougo is an unpredictable man when he wants to be, over the past years, he proved himself that he is worthy of Gin-chan's and Shinpachi's (hesitant) decision and (forced) yes to your marriage. He is surprisingly a good in-law. Although a jerk sometimes. Nothing your foster father and brother can't handle.
Sadist, yes. It's his nature. It's not like you tolerate it but you can handle it just fine. You always put him in his rightful place, anyway.
Chihuahua, yes. It's his real self when he wanted affection or being affectionate. Nobody has to know the soft looks he gave you when you were alone together in the privacy of your humble household.
Oftentimes, people criticize your decision. Judge your brain function. Frown at your wedding ring. Raise an eyebrow whenever they see the credit card you use because they know that your husband's name was written on it. You get insulted but you don't care, you are a strong woman and their opinions don't matter anyway. Just like the main heroine of the soap opera you loved to watch at midnight.
You slap the back of his head when he teases you but at the back of your mind, you kinda love it because that's what makes him different from the other sappy boys.
Well, yes, he is also sappy but his sappiness is the only 'sappy' you can tolerate.
Of course you love him but you'd rather jump in a 99 storeys building than say it out loud. He also said the same thing when he almost kissed you in that one tanabata you attended together three years ago. The only difference was the mention of nails and lava.
Oh, yes. You punched him after that.
Wait, we got sidetracked from the subject. Let's talk about the 'household chores: cooking' for real this time.
"Is it edible?" The Shinsengumi Captain named Okita Sougo peered from his wife's shoulder who is busy marinating a fish. She got the idea from a cooking show she secretly watch when she's home alone and had no work with the Yorozuya.
Kagura turned her head to look at the sandy-haired man. "It better be or we won't be having a dinner tonight." Was her sassy reply.
"Heh, let's hope it's edible then." Okita taunted playfully and squeezed Kagura's right hip lightly. "Tadaima." He whispered softly and gave her a light kiss on her temple.
The vermilion-haired wife hid her smile and replied softly, focusing on her marinating session. "Okaeri."
"Try not to burn our house, China doll, my paycheck will be late this month and the last thing I want to do is to repair our kitchen." Sougo said, already making his way to their bedroom. His voice echoed from the living room. How can he casually say that his salary is a late pay cause she didn't know.
"No promises."
