Snippet Five

A/N: Sorry for the delay! But as promised, Snippet Five is here! Also, this might be the last snippet for my story and I think I might close any idea of further increasing the chapters. Maybe make a sequel or any other fic about them but maybe enough of the universe in this particular fic.

Warm thanks to everyone who reviewed and read the snippets and the fic itself.

Disclaimer: I do not own PoT characters. Ugh.

Watching her sleep is probably one of the moments in my life that I'd want to freeze. The soft rise and fall of her chest as she breathes, her slightly parted lips, the curves of her body that fits perfectly to every space in my own, the tangles on her hair, the soft murmurs that she creates as she ventures to her dream land and everything else is all so precious to me.

Having her here, with me, is the greatest achievement in my life.

She turned again, this time, her face leaning on to my chest. She snuggled closer and smiled. I curled my arm around her and removed the stray hair on her face with the other.

Her beauty is something that I will never get tired of looking at.

Her eyelids fluttered for a moment before her intoxicating hazel eyes focused on me. I smiled at her and kissed her forehead, at the same time deeply inhaling her sweet fragrance. "Good morning." I greeted her then propped myself up. She moved in accordance until we both assumed a sitting position reclining on the headboard of our bed. "How was your sleep?" I asked as I gently rubbed her shoulder. She smiled and pecked a kiss on my lips. "Amazing." She replied then rested her head on my shoulders. She wrapped her arms on mine and under the covers, our hands held.

Right now, I am contented just having her beside me.

"You have to get going now. I'll have breakfast prepared for you." She said then sat upright. She grabbed both of my hands and pulled me away from reclining. The soft rays of the morning light were coming in faster. Soon, the chirping of the birds filled the air. I gave a soft laugh and allowed myself to be pulled. Her radiant smile was enough to shake off the remaining remnants of sleep in my eyes. The mere touch of her skin is enough to make me realize that I am not in a sort of a dream or hallucination.

She is really my Queen.

"You know well that the servants are already taking care of our breakfast. Leave it to them." I said as she donned her silk robe. I took mine as well and proceeded to open the window. I then felt her arms wrap around my body. "Selfish much?" she teased.

"Well, the only times that I get to have some quality time with you are during sleep and that few minutes after waking up. Office is hell." I stopped then turned to cup her face and gently stroked her cheeks with my thumbs. "Here with you is Heaven." I added as I bore my gaze to her. The faint stroke of blush made my heart go wilder. "You have no idea of how much I want to freeze time when I'm with you." I said, my voice getting deeper. She smiled and closed her eyes. "Of course, I miss you too during the morning." She said then wrapped her arms around my neck. "You have no idea of how much I want the sun to set so soon." She admitted. I laughed at and scooped her up and carried her back to the bed. Her face was dashed with a wild dose of pink as I positioned myself over her. "Then let's pretend it's still night time." I said then leaned my face to hers. Her breathing became hard and her lips quivered for a moment. "A-Ato…"

Her fingers reached out to trace my face. I grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Let's go to a second honeymoon." I said. "Where to?" she asked as she sat up. I shrugged in reply. "Anywhere you want." I answered.

"But you have office work." She reasoned out to me. I smiled at her and kissed her long before answering. "They don't matter as much as you to me." I said.

"What about Keiichi?" she frowned. "We cant leave him behind. He's only five." She stated. "Whoever told you that I'm leaving my son alone here? He's coming with us, for sure." I assured her. The crease on her forehead softened and a smile erupted on her face. "Let's go local." She suggested. "Let's go to hot springs and parks and temples all around the country." She added. "You sound too excited already." I said then glanced at the clock on the bedside table. She noticed this and giggled like a child. "Alright, we'll talk about this some time. You better get prepared now. You still have to drive Keiichi to school." She said and both of us got out of the bed together.

"Mommy?"

Our heads turned to the door where the little man was standing, holding his teddy bear. "Good morning, Keiichi." My Queen greeted and hugged the kid. "Good morning, Daddy." He beamed a sleepy smile at me. I ruffled his hair and he wrinkled his nose. "I want to eat breakfast now." He stated. I laughed heartily and scooped him up. "Alright, little guy. Let's go have a feast." I said as I walked out the bedroom. "I'm going to beat you this time!" my son said in his little voice and giggled.

"And I will be the judge!" my Queen joined in. She looked at me lovingly and our hands quietly held each other.

These are the moments in my life that I want to freeze forever.

"Keigo," she whispered and I flashed a sideways glance. "Yes?"

"I'm happy that I agreed to be your Queen." She said and went ahead. Keiichi jumped down and followed his mother. Looking at them, I knew that no money and treasure in this world could ever replace the joy and warmth that they give to me.

"And I am the luckiest King that ever lived." I told myself and joined the two most important people in my life at the table.
