Chapter 4: A Normal Occurrence
Several months had passed since the engagement party and the Go-Onger's first meeting with the Gokaigers and many things have happened to Sosuke and Miu. Preparations for the wedding were going smoothly, Sosuke was steadily climbing the ranks at Motegi and the Gokaigers returned all the Ranger Keys after they defeated Emperor Ackdos Gill. But probably the biggest event that happened in the lives of the Sosuke and Miu was that Miu had moved out of the villa and was now living with Sosuke. Now, it is true that two people living together is a huge step and it takes some adjustments on both sides but Sosuke and Miu have adjusted just fine and have gotten along well. But it's not to say that the two didn't start developing pet peeves about each other. Naturally it started small and the two would just shrug it off. However, frustration builds over time and eventually two people, especially when they are living together, are going to vent out these frustrations.
For Sosuke and Miu, it all happened on a Friday evening in mid-March when the two were preparing to go to bed. Sosuke was busy brushing his teeth when Miu entered the bathroom after just changing into her pajamas. She retrieved her toothbrush and was about to reach for the toothpaste when it happened.
"Why do you do that?" asked an annoyed Miu.
"Wha?" said Sosuke with his toothbrush still in his mouth.
"Why do you always have to leave the cap of the tube like that? I've asked you a thousand times to put the cap back on the tube when you're done using the toothpaste. The idea of the toothpaste is to fight gems and if you…"
"Alright, I'm sorry!" said Sosuke cutting Miu off. Sosuke was tired and was not in the mood to listen to Miu's riot act. This of course put Miu in a foul mood as she let out a snort as she began brushing her teeth. When Sosuke was done burshing he pulled open the mirror to retrieve the mouthwash when all of Miu's products came falling out.
"Careful!" cried Miu almost spiting toothpaste all over Sosuke.
"Okay first off, watch where you're spitting and secondly I wouldn't have to be careful if you knew how stack this stuff." Replied Sosuke.
"I know…" Miu stopped to spit the toothpaste out in the sink. "I know how to stack things. YOU just need to open this thing more genteelly."
"Well, why do you need all of this stuff up here anyway? Hell what do you need most of this stuff for anyway. Like this stuff." Said Sosuke holding up a tube of some kind of cream. "What do you even need this stuff for?"
"This stuff," began Miu while taking the tube out of Sosuke's hand "is good for cleaning out your pours. Speaking of which this would do wonders for yours."
"And what's wrong with my pours?"
"Have you looked at them lately?"
"Have you dealt with you lately?" It was only until after Sosuke said that that a little voice in his head told him that he did something stupid. And he could see that he did something stupid as Miu was looking at him with angry eyes and an open mouth.
"And just what does that mean?" asked a now angry Miu. Sosuke didn't know how to answer so he felt it would be better to just walk into the living room and let Miu cool down. "Oh no, you are not just walking away from this." Said Miu following Sosuke out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. "Just what do you mean by have I dealt with myself lately?"
Seeing no easy way out of this, Sosuke decided that maybe he should give her an answer. "What it means is that you have been very snippy lately."
"Snippy?" said Miu while scrunching up her noise.
"Yeah, every time I've tried to talk to you lately you've given me an attitude."
"Oh, I'm sorry," began a sarcastic Miu "I've only been planning out the entire wedding by myself."
"Well, whose fault is that?" answered Sosuke. "Didn't you say…" Sosuke started to impersonate Miu. "Oh don't worry honey, I'll take care of everything."
"I did not."
"Yes you did." Said Sosuke. "You told me not to worry about the arrangements and that I should just worry about my racing career."
"Speaking of racing, thanks for telling me that you invited the whole pit crew over the other night."
"What's so wrong with having a few friends over for a drink?" asked Sosuke now getting angry himself. "And I sent you text telling you that I had the boys over."
"What text?" asked an unconvinced Miu. Sosuke scoffed at her as he went to her nightstand and picked up her phone. After going though her messages, Sosuke pulled up the text he sent her telling her that he invited the pit crew over and showed it to her.
"See." Said Sosuke with a smug look on his face. "I texted you. We even went over this the other night when the guys here."
Miu scrunched her nose again and puckered her lips as well. "Okay, you sent me a text warning me. But that still doesn't excuse the fact that I had to come home to a mess."
"What mess?" asked Sosuke.
"The mess that was on the table." Answered Miu.
"Oh you mean the mess that I cleaned up." Said Sosuke. "But wait, I forgot that to sterilize the table because Hiroto forgot to mention that you are a neat freak."
"Neat freak?" said a stunned Miu.
"Yeah, that's right." Said Sosuke. "If anything is remotely out of place you freak out. And if there is even a speck of dust on something you break out the cleaning solution to scrub it down.
"I am not a neat freak and I don't freak out if something is out of place!" said Miu taking offense to the statement.
"Really?" replied Sosuke. "Wait here a moment." Sosuke went over the his dresser and puller out a sock from one of the drawers. He then walked back to Miu, dangled the sock in front of her face and then dropped it on the floor. Once the sock hit the floor, Sosuke crossed his arms and began to smile at Miu. Miu copied the action to show Sosuke that the sock on the floor wasn't bothering her at all.
And so they stood there in the middle of their bedroom. They would look at each other and then back down at the sock. After a while, Miu's eyes kept going back to the sock more often then Sosuke's. "It's bothering you isn't it." Said Sosuke broadening his smile.
"No." answered Miu unsuccessfully showing that the sock didn't bother her. After another minute went by the sock finally broke Miu and the Lovely Sensation picked up the sock and placed it back into Sosuke's sock drawer.
"Not a neat freak, huh?" Sosuke said in a mocking tone. Miu turned to face Sosuke and had a mean look on her face. She then marched over to her betrothed and grabbed his cheeks and began to pull hard on them. Sosuke let out a few owes as he tried to make Miu let go of his cheeks. When pulling on her wrist didn't work, Sosuke decided to employ a new tactic. This tactic came in the form Sosuke grabbing and squeezing Miu's breasts.
"Sosuke!" Miu cried out not expecting that from Sosuke.
"What?" said Sosuke with a grin returning to his face.
"Don't do that."
"Do what?" asked Sosuke pretending to have an innocent look on his face, "Do you mean, this" said Sosuke trying to grab Miu's chest again.
"Stop it!" Miu cried out once more.
"Okay I won't do that." Said Sosuke with his grin growing more and more mischievous by the second. "But maybe I'll do…this." Sosuke said grabbing at Miu's ribs. Miu let out a yelp as Sosuke began tickling her ribs. During there time living together, Sosuke discovered that Miu was very ticklish around the ribs.
"Sosuke no!" cried Miu now running out of the bedroom with Sosuke in hot pursuit. All the while Miu was trying not to laugh. The two didn't go far before Sosuke caught Miu and began tickling her. The more Sosuke tickled Miu, the harder Miu laughed and the more Miu laughed, the weaker she became. Eventually Miu was so weak from laughter that she that she was now lying on the floor with Sosuke kneeling next the her still tickling her. Once Sosuke had finished tickling Miu, he scooped her up off the floor and carried her to bed.
"I'm sorry about what I said." Said Sosuke as he laid Miu on the bed. "That was a stupid thing to say and I should have just kept my mouth shut."
"And I'm sorry if I have been sort with you lately." Said Miu pulling Sosuke in for a kiss. "You're a good boyfriend and your going to be an even better husband. I love you."
"I love you too." Replied Sosuke kissing his future wife once more. With that said, Sosuke and Miu crawled under the covers, shut off the light and fell asleep in each others embrace.
Sorry if I made you guys wait for this. It isn't easy writing two stories at the same time. Next chapter, it's wedding time.
