Chapter 10: Midnight runs
Misaki felt so strange poking around in her fridge at 2 am. She woke up really hungry but didn't want to wake Usui up so she quietly slipped out of bed and made her way down to the kitchen.
Misaki had this strangest dream about tempura. The yummy dish was making her mouth water. She sat at the kitchen table thinking about the fried goodies she and Usui bought from a store before. It was very strange. She could almost taste the flavor in her mouth yet at the same time she couldn't.
"I'll settle for pretzels" she said nibbling on one. She ate about a handful before pushing the bag away. She really wanted tempura. Misaki got up and opened the fridge again as if it would magically appear. Nope...
Usui reached out for Misaki. His arm wrapped around emptiness. He opened his eyes to find Misaki's side of the bed empty. He sat up immediately and glanced at the digital clock with lit "2:30" in red. He jumped out of bed immediately and checked the bathroom first. The bathroom was empty. Usui made his way downstairs.
"Misaki?" he called. He heard a clatter of something in the kitchen. He poked his head in. Misaki was kneeling over and wiping up something that spilled. Usui flicked on the lights. Both of them winced at the brightness.
"Did I wake you?" Misaki asked shielding her eyes.
"No" Usui replied. He walked over to her. "Don't kneel" he said helping her up. "Did you get hungry?" Usui asked eyeing the bag of pretzels on the table.
"Uhh yeah" she said. "For tempura" she thought in her head.
"Do you want me to make you something?" Usui asked.
Tempura...
"Uh no I'm fine" Misaki reassured him.
Usui grabbed a rag and mopped up the floor in one fluid movement.
"Are you sure?" he asked. "You're not having a craving are you? If you are I can go out and buy it" he reassured her.
"It's like 3am" Misaki reminded him.
"So you are having a craving" Usui said studying her.
"For..." Misaki looked around. "Pretzels and Uhh water?"
"You don't crave water..." Usui said flatly.
"How would you know?" Misaki asked embarrassed.
"Its called being thirsty...and I sense Misaki isn't being honest with me" Usui said walking close. Misaki felt herself being back up to the counter. Usui put his hands on either side on the counter and leaned in so they were only inches apart.
"Tell me the truth" Usui said seriously. "Don't hurt yourself" he said.
"It's really nothing" Misaki mumbled unable to meet Usui's eyes.
"Please don't lie to me" Usui said softly.
"I'm not-"
Usui captured Misaki's mouth with his. His tongue traced Misaki's lip and then deepened the kiss.
The romantic moment was interrupted by Misaki's stomach.
"Just tell me" Usui said kissing her face.
"We don't have tempura in the house do we...?" Misaki asked shyly.
Usui was on the move instantly. He flipped through the freezer and the fridge. He dashed off and grabbed a jacket.
"I'll be right back" he said grabbing his cell phone and house keys.
"Takumi!" Misaki exclaimed. "You can't go out in this hour"
"I'll be fast my love" he said opening the door. "For you I'd do anything" he said giving her a wink before disappearing. Misaki let out a sigh and sat at the kitchen table.
"What an idiot" she muttered. She kept herself busy by making a pot of tea. She poured herself a cup and slowly sipped. it. Fifteen minutes later Usui came bursting back into the house.
"Bought you something" he said holding up a small white plastic bag.
Misaki smiled. "Thanks Takumi" she said.
Usui just grinned as he made her food. He didn't care that he just walked into a store and bought food at 3am in the morning. He didn't even care that he was still wearing pajamas and a coat over it. The sleepy cashier sensed his rush and rang up the items quickly.
"Here you are, darling" Usui said setting the steaming dish in front of her. Misaki closed her eyes and breathed in the scent. This was exactly what she was dreaming about.
"Thanks" she said again after taking a huge bite. Usui sat across from her and sipped tea.
"Why so polite" Usui teased. Misaki blushed and shrugged. She was actually really touched that he was willing to go out and buy her food at this ungodly hour.
"That hit the spot" she said letting her chopsticks fall onto the plate. "It tasted even better than usual" she told Usui. Usui rubbed her head and took her plate to the sink.
"I'm going to go brush my teeth" Misaki said.
"Alright" Usui said washing the dishes. "I'll be done in a minute" he told her. Misaki went upstairs and brushed her teeth. She spit out the toothpaste and rinsed her mouth.
Misaki walked bare feet onto the bedroom carpet. She loved the feeling of the carpet under her feet. Usui came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He rubbed the small bump on her stomach now.
Misaki leaned against him breathing in his scent also. Her hands were placed over his.
"I just love you so much" Usui whispered into her hair.
"I love you too" Misaki replied.
"Promise to never lie to me again"
"Hmmm"
Usui kissed her shoulders and her jawline. "Promise?" he asked again. Misaki laughed. "I can't think when you keep kissing me" she squirmed.
"There's nothing to think about..." Usui's hands trailed along the curves of her body. "I'm going to satisfy all your needs no matter what time it is"
Misaki reached behind her to touch Usui's face. "All my needs?" she asked.
"Mhmm"
"What about your needs, huh?" she asked with a small smile. Her hand traced the lines of his chest.
"Don't tempt me" Usui warned. "You have to get enough sleep"
Misaki fake yawned. "But I always sleep"
"And you shall continue to sleep" Usui said scooping her up and gently depositing her on the bed. "Time to sleep my lady" he said.
"Can I have a shoulder massage?"
Usui sighed and motioned for Misaki to scoot over.
"That feels really good" Misaki said as Usui's hands worked on her stiff shoulders. "Do you want one too?" she asked. Misaki wasn't sure why she was being so bold today. She just felt really close to Usui and wanted to spend time with him. She guessed that the baby made them closer than ever.
"I would like you to get some rest" Usui said, guessing what game Misaki was playing.
Misaki turned around and kissed him. The abrupt kiss surprised Usui. He kissed her back gently making sure not to get carried away.
"You seem not interested" Misaki accused after Usui broke the kiss.
"Don't worry" Usui muttered. "I'm very interested..." He and Misaki hadn't had any extreme intimacy ever since they found out she was pregnant. It wasn't because Usui didn't want to- because some nights he REALLY wanted to but because Misaki still worked, he needed her to get as much rest as she could.
"Prove it" Misaki challenged.
"Darling..." Usui began.
"Five months is a long time" Misaki said. Usui kept his poker face on. He took deep breaths trying to get himself under control.
"It's hot in here" Misaki said unbuttoning her shirt. She bit her lip to keep from laughing. Usui groaned, closing his eyes. Misaki smiled to herself. She decided that she made Usui suffer enough for one night. She inched up really close to him.
"I have the day off tomorrow" she whispered. Usui opened his eyes and stared at her.
"Do you really?" he asked skeptical.
Misaki nodded. She leaned back in and kissed him. Usui groaned, giving in. He slid the shirt off her shoulders and threw it on the floor.
Misaki slowly opened her eyes. The curtains were down, blocking out most of the sunlight but the room had a rosy glow to it. She smiled, feeling refreshed this morning.
"What time was it?" she wondered. She turned around and gasped. Usui was already awake and he was propped up on his elbow, looking at her. His hair was tousled and fell into his emerald green eyes.
"Good morning" Usui said.
Misaki gave a nervous laugh. "Hi" she said looking up at him.
Usui kept looking at her. "What?" Misaki asked. She was beginning to feel uncomfortable under such close scrutiny.
"You are such a sly woman" Usui said.
"What?" Misaki wondered sleepily. "What did we do yesterday again?" she asked half awake.
Usui slid his hand up her thigh. Misaki's eyes popped open. "Oh" she said remembering.
Usui raised an eyebrow at her. "Oh?" he asked.
"Are you upset...?" Misaki asked quietly.
"Furious"
Misaki blushed. "I'm sorry?"
Usui remained impassive. "I never knew Misa chan knew how to manipulate people" he mused.
"What?" Misaki spluttered. "Don't make me sound so evil"
"Well I guess seducing your husband isn't the worst crime you could have committed" Usui agreed.
Misaki pulled the blanket over her face. "I didn't seduce you"
"Yes of course, kissing and taking your clothes off doesn't make me go crazy" Usui said with a sigh.
"Don't say that..."
"Isn't that what Misaki did?" Usui said pulling the blanket off Misaki's face.
"Not exactly..." Misaki said reliving last night. It actually was just like that but Misaki was too embarrassed to admit it.
"Not exactly?" Usui asked amused. "My beautiful wife clearly knew which buttons to push" he said.
Misaki blushed. "You make me sound like I did something wrong"
"Sinful" Usui speculated. "Do you know how agonizing it was?"
Misaki slowly shook her head.
"Well I'm going to give you a dose too then, my love" Usui said with a glint in his eyes. "You'll be begging for mercy" he promised.
