Featuring Couple: NozoEli
So I hope you enjoy it. Disclaimer: I don't own Love Live!
On a Monday morning, Eli was in her office working on a new project which was the exterior and interior design of a college at Tokyo. Eli sat in her office drawing the blueprint until she was interrupted by a call, she answered the call immediately when she noticed that her mother was the caller.
"Hello, mother."
"Hi, Elichika. How are you, Nozomi and Akemi doing?"
"I'm fine, mother. Nozomi still works as a freelance and Akemi says she misses you and father."
"Well, lucky you then. Your father and I will be coming over to visit on Friday."
"Wait…what?"
"Are you paying attention Elichika? I said that your father and I will be coming over on Friday so please tell Alisa as well alright."
"Will you be staying with us then mother?"
"Well we still haven't book a hotel."
"Just stay with us then, Nozomi won't mind and when are you landing?"
"Well thank you then, don't worry we'll head over to your place ourselves."
"Very well then anyway I have a client waiting so I'll talk to you later."
"Okay don't work yourself to hard alright Elichika."
"Yes mother."
When the call had ended, Eli quickly packed her blueprints, laptop and tablet before walking over to her secretary to inform that she'll be out and won't be back for the day. Eli then left to meet her client which was the Director for the college at Tokyo.
When Eli met with the Director, they had spent some time talking about the exterior and interior design for the new buildings. Just as the two of them was about to finish their session, the Director invited Eli to be a guest lecturer for their students in the interior and architecture course.
"It is a great pleasure to be able to work with you, Ms. Ayase."
"No, it's my pleasure. Giving our company this job is just such an honour."
"Likewise Ms. Ayase. On another note, we would like to invite you as a guest talker for our students."
"Me… I doubt I'm good enough to be talking to your students."
"Oh no, you're perfect after all you own your own architecture and interior design firm at such a young age as well as had done many successful projects."
"If I may ask, when would the talk be held?"
"It'll be held on this Friday."
"That's a little too quick of a notice and I'm not sure if I'm able to produce enough materials for the talk."
"Don't worry Ms. Ayase, it's fine to show your past works or even disclose some of your plans for our new building."
"Very well then, I'll think about it and confirm with you tomorrow morning."
When the meeting ended, Eli head over to buy some necessities before heading back home. Within the next hour, Eli reached home and called out.
"I'm home, Nozomi, Akemi."
"Welcome back Elicchi."
"Papa, welcome back."
Akemi ran over to Eli's side and gave her a hug. Eli picked Akemi and gave her a kiss on her cheek before walking over to Nozomi's side and giving her wife a kiss.
"How did the meeting with your client went?"
"Successful I would say."
"That's great then."
Eli then carried Akemi and the groceries into the kitchen with Nozomi following behind. When they reached the kitchen, Nozomi took the groceries from Eli and kept everything while Eli sat on a chair by the counter with Akemi on her lap.
"Oh, I almost forgot but mother called in the morning."
"Is she coming for her a visit?"
"Yeah, both father and mother."
"Well, Akemi will definitely be glad to see her grandma and grandpa right Akemi."
"Grandma and Grandpa. Play together."
"Yeah, I'm sure they'll play with you for sure."
Akemi smiled and talked about things to do with her grandparents while Eli and Nozomi just smiled at their daughter and listening to her plans.
When night came, Eli and Nozomi stood in the kitchen cooking together while their daughter sat by the counter drawing and colouring on a piece of paper Eli gave. The two adults made their dinner while talking about plans for when their parents were to come over.
"I'll have to call Alisa later to tell her that father and mother is coming over."
"Why don't I call Alisa-chan, you should finish some of your work so you could come back earlier on Friday."
"I don't think I'll won't be going to my office but I might go to a talk over at a college."
"A talk?"
"I was invited by the Director of the college which is also my client to give a talk to the Architecture and Interior Designing students there a talk."
"That's a great opportunity."
"I know; I'll send the Director an email later to confirm his invitation."
"Do you have enough materials for the talk though?"
"I think so but I'll have to check later."
"Okay I think dinner is almost finish so why don't you go prepare the table Elicchi."
"Sure."
"Akemi would you like to help Papa prepare the table?"
"Yes."
Akemi got off the chair and ran to help Eli grab the utensils while Eli went to take the plates and set them on the table as Akemi placed the utensils besides the plate that Eli placed.
"Akemi go sit first while I go help Mama to take the food out okay?"
"Okay Papa."
Akemi went over to get her stuffed penguin and took her seat while playing with the stuffed toy. Eli went back into the kitchen to help Nozomi bring the food out. Soon, the family sat together and had their dinner.
Every night the family would be watching television together while Nozomi would take out her beloved tarot cards for a quick reading. Eli would read the news on her tablet while Akemi would try to watch the television and look at Nozomi reading her tarot cards at the same time.
"Would you like to try shuffling the cards Akemi?"
"Yes."
Akemi moved from the couch to the floor which Nozomi was seated on. When Akemi settled herself beside Nozomi, Nozomi shuffled her cards once to show Akemi how to do it before handing her daughter the cards.
"Just shuffle it slowly like this."
"Like this."
Akemi shuffle the cards awkwardly and slowly due to the cards large size. Eli lowered her tablet to see her wife and daughter playing with the tarot cards and smiled at the scene.
"You're really good at this Akemi dear."
The little girl smiled at Nozomi before calling for Eli to show Eli her new skill.
"Papa, look."
"What is it Dear?"
"Papa, Mama's cards."
"Is that so. Would you show Papa then?"
"Yes."
Akemi turned so she was facing Eli and started to shuffle the deck slowly and less awkward than before. When she was done, she looked up Eli and smiled brightly at her father.
"Now isn't that amazing."
"Maybe I'll get Akemi her own deck when she gets older."
Akemi smiled at her parents and Nozomi gave Akemi a big hug.
Soon it was time for Akemi to head to bed and Eli carried her while Nozomi followed closely behind bringing Akemi back to her room. When the couple entered the room and placed Akemi onto her bed, the little girl requested her parents to read a story. Eli of course agrees to Akemi's request and searches for a book while Nozomi sits on the bed with Akemi waiting for Eli to come back with a book.
"Today let's read your favourite story book the one about Winnie the Pooh alright?"
"Okay."
"Come Elicchi you sit on the other side and we'll read together."
"Okay."
When Eli settled on the other side of Akemi's bed, Eli and Nozomi took turns reading the story until Akemi fell asleep while hugging the stuffed penguin. Eli and Nozomi then each gave Akemi a kiss on the forehead before heading back to their own room.
As soon as they entered their room, Eli went over to the table to check on her phone while Nozomi sat in-front of the mirror and slowly combed her hair. When Eli finish checking and replied the emails, she walked over to Nozomi's side and hugged her from behind.
"Have you called Alisa already?"
"I can't get through her, she might be busy so I just sent her a message on Line."
"I see, want me to help with your hair?"
"Of course."
Eli took the comb from Nozomi and slowly groom the tresses of long purple hair. Nozomi enjoyed the gentleness of how Eli handled her hair and thought to herself that she really is glad that she is married to Eli and now they have such a lovely daughter.
"Elicchi…"
"Yes, Nozomi."
"I want another kid."
"Huh?"
Eli stopped combing for a moment and Nozomi turn around to look at her blonde husband.
"You don't want to?"
"Of course not, I mean no...wait I mean of course I want to though what gave you that sudden thought?"
"You see… I'm thinking of giving Akemi a sister or brother if possible."
Nozomi reached up to circle her arms around Eli's neck and pulled her down so that the blonde was face to face with her.
"What do you say Elichika?"
Instead of answering, Eli just leaned forward and kissed Nozomi passionately. When the need for air took over, the both of them just leaned back and looked at each other with immense love towards each other.
Eli then moved away from Nozomi's embrace which led to a pout on Nozomi's face till Eli suddenly moved forward once more to carry Nozomi up from the chair bridal style and walked towards the king-sized bed.
"Your wish is my command."
"Such a gentleman Elicchi."
The couple's love making session had lasted till the both of them had felt the exhaustion hit their bodies and sleep took over them.
On Friday, Eli had woken up relatively earlier than usual in order to prepare her work for the day as well as prepare breakfast for the family as Nozomi had already left the house to help out the shrine today.
Just as Eli is preparing some pancakes, sausages and bacon, the doorbell rang and Akemi who was sitting in the living room watching cartoons had run into the kitchen to call Eli.
"Papa, doorbell."
"Yes, Akemi."
Eli turned off the stove and wiped her hands clean before going to the front door to see who was it. When she opened the door, she saw her younger sister Alisa standing there with big smile.
"Onee-chan…!"
"Alisa…!"
Alisa walked closer to give Eli a big hug which the woman returned. Eli immediately usher Alisa to enter the house.
"Come on in Alisa."
"Thanks Onee-chan."
"Aunty Alisa."
"Akemi-chan, come give me a hug."
Akemi walked over to Alisa's side and gave her a big hug. Alisa then swooped the little girl off her feet and started kissing her.
"Aren't you all grown up and cute, Akemi-chan."
"Hehe."
Akemi couldn't stop laughing due to Alisa's kisses. Eli smiled at the scene in-front of her before guiding her sister to the living hall and asking her to have a seat as she goes back preparing breakfast. Alisa then noticed that Nozomi wasn't around decided to question her older sister about it.
"Onee-chan, where Nozomi nee-chan?"
"Oh, Nozomi's at the shrine helping out but she'll be back soon."
"Okay."
Alisa just sat in the living hall playing with Akemi when she suddenly remembered her belated Christmas gift for Akemi.
"Right, I almost forgot but let me go get your Christmas present Akemi-chan."
"Present?"
"Yeah, I couldn't make it back for Christmas right so I'll give it to you now."
Alisa went to retrieve her present for Akemi. Alisa had purchase a painting companion set for Akemi as the little girl loved to draw.
"I bought some paints and colour chalks for you. You like drawing like your Papa right?"
"Yes, thank you Aunty Alisa."
Akemi then stood up, walked over to Alisa's side to pull her up from her seat and guided her to upstairs.
"Aunty Alisa, Papa and Mama's present."
"You want to show me what your Papa and Mama got for you?"
"Yes, come."
Alisa was drag up to the upper floor of the house by her little niece and was then brought to a room that was previously a guest room. When the little girl opened the door, it turned out that both Eli and Nozomi had turned the guest room into a playroom.
Akemi put her present from Alisa at the corner that had an easel and some drawing instruments. There was also some art that was placed in the room that was apparently done by Akemi.
"Aunty Alisa, play with me?"
"Of course. What do you want to play then?"
"Drawing?"
"Okay."
The two went to the drawing corner of the room, where Akemi dragged a chair for Alisa to sit while she sat on her lap.
Meanwhile downstairs in the kitchen, Eli was still cooking till the sounds of the door opened was heard. Eli greeted her wife from the kitchen while still cooking as Nozomi entered the kitchen to greet the blonde.
"I'm back Elicchi, Akemi."
"Welcome back Nozomi. I think Akemi is upstairs with Alisa in the playroom."
Eli walked over to Nozomi's side to give her wife a quick kiss before serving the food on the plates.
"Why don't you go change first?"
"Okay, I'll go get Akemi and Alisa as well on the way down after I change."
"Thank you."
When Eli was done setting up the table, Nozomi, Alisa along with Akemi enter the dining room. Eli sat at the head of the table with Nozomi on her left and Alisa on her right. Akemi sat beside Nozomi and was slowly eating the pancakes with chocolate sauce while Nozomi cut the sausages into smaller pieces so Akemi could eat.
Alisa had made small conversation with her two older sister talking about her job as an event planner. Eli and Nozomi listened to Alisa diligently.
"Oh yeah, you said Mom and Dad are coming over right?"
"Yeah, but I have work so please keep Nozomi and Akemi company okay?"
"Of course, I will Onee-chan."
As soon as Eli finished her breakfast, she took the plate to the sink and then walked over to Nozomi's side to give her kiss as well as Akemi which gave Eli a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I'll try to be back before 4 p.m."
"Take care and be careful."
Eli then took her leave and headed toward the college that had invited her as a guest talker while Nozomi and Alisa sat at the table chatting with each other while waiting for their parents to arrive.
"Nozomi nee-chan and Onee-chan still looks as lovey-dovey as usual."
"Well we are married after all. How are you and Yukiho-chan doing nowadays?"
"Fine, we went on a trip to Kyoto last week."
"So are you planning to pop the question or are you waiting for her to pop the question?"
"Well we've discuss about it and we've decided to wait for a little longer after all Mom and Dad already have such a cute granddaughter from Onee-chan and you."
"It's best to think properly before making such a big decision."
"Anyway I heard Nico-san and Maki-san is having a kid soon."
"Yes, you heard it from Yukiho-chan I guess?"
"Honoka-san told Yukiho-chan that she was going to be an Aunty once more."
"It's great news though, everyone in muse is building their own families and enjoying life."
Soon, their conversation was cut short by Nozomi's phone ringing. Nozomi excused herself to answer her phone while Akemi got down from her chair and walked over to Alisa to follow her into the living room to watch television.
"Is there something you want to watch on TV now?"
"Yes, cartoon."
"Okay let me turn on the TV then."
Alisa took the remote control from the table to switch on the TV and changed the channel till Akemi told her to stop. Akemi sat on the couch with her stuffed penguin watching the television quietly while Alisa went to the kitchen to help clean up the dishes.
When Alisa entered the kitchen, she saw Nozomi standing in-front of the sink cleaning the dishes. Alisa then walked over to ask if she could help with anything.
"Anything I could help with Nozomi nee-chan?"
"Everything's fine Alisa plus you're a guest so just sit down and relax."
Just as Nozomi finish her sentence, the doorbell rang and Alisa walked into the kitchen with her toy in her arms to tell Nozomi.
"Mama, doorbell."
"Thank you Dear."
Nozomi walked to the front door with Akemi and Alisa following behind. When she opened the door, Nozomi face lit up to see that her in-laws had arrived safely.
"Mother, Father. It's been a while but it's great to see you're doing fine."
"Nozomi, it's great to see you doing well as well."
"Anyway let's not stand here and talk why don't you come in Mother, Father."
"Thank you Nozomi."
Nozomi stood aside to let them in and when Akemi saw her grandparents, she ran towards them and hugged the both of them.
"Grandma, Grandpa."
"How's my little angel doing."
"Mom, Dad."
"Alisa, how are you?"
"Fine Dad."
Alisa walked over and give both her parents a hug while Akemi was carried by her grandmother. Akemi then looked over to her grandfather to ask the tall blonde man for a hug.
"Grandpa, hug?"
"Of course, how can I say no to you little Princess."
Nozomi smiled at her daughter's action before helping her in-laws move their luggage to the guest room upstairs.
"Oh, Nozomi you don't have to do it for us. Your father can do it."
"It's alright, you and father have a seat at the living hall to play with Akemi while I move it upstairs and make some tea for you."
"Nozomi nee-chan, don't worry I'll make the tea for Mom and Dad."
"Thanks Alisa, I'll be down as soon as I put it in the room."
Nozomi took the luggage to the guest room which was beside Akemi's playroom. When Nozomi placed the luggage by the bed, she went back downstairs and into the kitchen where Alisa was making the tea.
"Let me make it, you can talk to your parents."
"No need, plus you should go see if they need anything else."
"Okay then."
Nozomi then walked over to the living hall to see that Akemi showing her grandparents her stuffed penguin and some other toys that was around the living hall. The two old folks sat there listening and smiling at their little granddaughter.
"Mother, Father would you like to have some snacks?"
"Of course, Nozomi dear but do you have that traditional Manju from your friend's shop?"
"Homura's Manju?"
"Yes, that…in Russia we don't have that and it's been a while."
"Of course, I'll go get it."
Nozomi went back to the kitchen and picked up her phone to call Honoka to get them to deliver some Manju over.
"Hello, Honoka-chan."
"Hi Nozomi-chan, what's up?"
"I was wondering whether if you could deliver some Manju's over to my place now?"
"Sure, I can send Yukiho over so how many would you like?"
"Get me a box then."
"No problem, Yukiho will be there as soon as possible."
"Thanks."
When Nozomi got off her phone, she went back to help Alisa with the tea.
"It's almost done Nozomi nee-chan."
"Is that so, let me see."
Nozomi went over to look at the pot of green tea.
"It's perfect."
Alisa smiled before going over to the cupboard to get two cups for her parents. She then poured the tea into the cups before walking out with Nozomi following behind with a smile.
"Mom, Dad I've made tea."
"Thank you Alisa dear."
Akemi sat on her grandfather's lap and continued watching TV while the adults chatted.
"So is Elichika doing fine with her work?"
"Elicchi's doing fine at work, she said she going to come back earlier today."
"Yup Onee-chan said she'll be back before 4."
"What about your work Alisa?"
"I'm fine, my work is going great and I've been travelling around for work."
"Great. As long as both of our girls are doing fine right Dear."
"Ah, as long as they're fine."
"Elichika told me that you still continue your job as a freelance photographer."
"Yeah, I still keep it as a hobby and it's fun plus it does keep Elicchi from overworking sometimes."
"Really? How?"
"Simple, I would have to go out for photoshoots and Elicchi would have to stay at home to take care of Akemi."
"Nozomi nee-chan is smart as always."
The group continued talking as Akemi watched television until the doorbell rang.
"Mama, doorbell."
"Thank you dear."
Nozomi stood up and walked over to the front door to see who it was. When she opened the door, she saw Yukiho standing there with a box of Homura's Manju.
"Yukiho-chan thank you, here's the money."
"Thanks a lot Nozomi-san."
"You want to come in? Alisa is inside with her parents."
"Maybe another time, I still have errands to run for the shop."
"Okay, do help me say thank you to Honoka-chan for the favour."
"Sure."
When the younger woman left, Nozomi closed the door and went into the kitchen to put the Manju's on a plate before walking back into the living hall for her in-laws.
"Mother, Father here's the Manju."
"Thanks a lot, Nozomi dear."
"Thank you. Akemi do you want one?"
"No, can I have Choco?"
"Come Akemi, Mama will go get you some Choco."
Akemi jumped down from her grandfather's lap and walked to Nozomi's side and into the kitchen to get some chocolate from the fridge. Once she got the chocolate, she handed it to Akemi. Just as Akemi was about to run back into the living hall when the front door opened.
"I'm back Nozomi, Akemi."
"Welcome back Elicchi."
"Papa, welcome back."
Nozomi walked to greet Eli while Akemi was already hugging her father tightly. Eli picked the little girl up, walked over to Nozomi's side and gave her a kiss before Nozomi informed Eli that her parents are sitting at the living hall with Alisa.
"Your parents are with Alisa at the living hall having Manju."
"Alright."
"So how was the talk?"
"It's fun, though I think that the students just assumed that being an architect or interior designer is easy."
"They would learn the journey themselves."
"You're right."
"Papa, Choco."
"Oh, Thank you."
Akemi gave Eli a bite of chocolate, before the blonde walked into the living hall with Nozomi following behind.
"Mother, Father. How's the flight here?"
"Elichika, it was fine. Nozomi had been such a dear keeping us company along with Akemi."
"How is Grandmother doing back in Russia?"
"She's doing great, she was hoping you would bring your wife and her great-granddaughter to visit her soon."
"I understand; I'll try to make plans to go visit Grandmother."
Eli's parents nodded in approval before Eli excused herself to have a shower before bring them out for dinner at a Japanese restaurant that Nozomi booked earlier. Her parents and Alisa went to prepare themselves for the dinner.
When it was time to leave, Eli drove the entire family to a restaurant at Akihabara that serves high quality beef for Sukiyaki and Yakiniku. During the dinner, the family talked about plenty of topics.
"So Elichika and Nozomi, are you thinking of having another kid?"
"I agree; Akemi should have some company."
Nozomi and Eli looked at each before laughing together and decided to tell them that they are currently trying for another child.
"Actually Mother, Father. Nozomi and I are trying for a second child."
"We thought to tell you only when we succeed in getting pregnant."
"That's great news, isn't it dear."
"Yes, I can't wait to see Akemi have a sister or brother to keep her company."
"You better try harder Elichika, I want to see another Grandchild and for you to tell your Grandmother that she's going to have another Great-Grandchild."
"Yes, Mother. I'll do my best."
The family continue chatting and eating until it was time to head home. When the family reached the house, Eli's parents had decided to call it a night as smooth as the flight went, it was still tiring siting on a plane for at least 9 hours.
Alisa herself also went to bed early as she was tired from her trip. Eli and Nozomi as usual would take Akemi back to her room and lull her to sleep. As always Akemi would walk over to the bed and laid on it while Eli would take a storybook to read to her with Nozomi.
"Papa, story?"
"Of course. Let's go with Alice in Wonderland today then."
Eli took her seat on the other side of the bed and started reading the book slowly with Nozomi till the little girl fell asleep. When Eli and Nozomi was done with the book, Eli kept the book and both parents kissed Akemi's forehead before heading back to their own room.
When the couple returned to their room, Eli went to check her phone as usual for emails. Nozomi with her usual routine, sat in-front of the table and combed her hair. When Eli was done with her emails, she walked over to Nozomi's side and gave her wife a hug from behind.
"So are you going to your office tomorrow?"
"No, I going to take some days off to spend some time with Mother and Father and work from home."
"Even during your day off, you still have to work. You're such a workaholic."
"Yeah, yeah but I have to send the first blueprint next month after all."
"I know I'm just joking."
"Anyway I think I'll go to the shrine with you tomorrow since Mother and Father are here, they could keep Akemi company."
"Something you want to ask the gods for?"
"No, just thought you could you some company every once in a while."
"Well thank you then."
Nozomi finished combing her hand and turned around to hook her arms around Eli's neck. Eli then leaned down to give Nozomi a kiss on the lips and breaking apart after a few seconds. After the kiss, Eli then trailed the kiss from Nozomi's lips to her neck.
Nozomi tighten her hold on Eli's neck and let out a soft moan which further encourage Eli's action. When Eli stop kissing Nozomi, the latter had let out a groan which Eli gave another peck to satisfy Nozomi.
"Don't forget my parents and sister is here."
"I thought you soundproofed the guest room during the renovation for Akemi's playroom?"
"I'm still wondering why I did that."
"Because we can't keep our hands to ourselves all the time unless Akemi's around."
"You're right."
Eli then picked up Nozomi bridal style, moved to the bed and started kissing Nozomi passionately. The couple's stamina was always amazing and their love making session lasted for hours sometimes even till the early mornings.
When they stopped, the couple faced each other and kissed once more before sleep took over them.
"I love you Nozomi."
"I know; I love you too Elicchi."
