Juvia lightheartedly pushed on her husband's chest, both of them in their bedroom after tucking the kids in goodnight. The neon crimson light of the clock on their nightstand told it was around midnight, but they didn't care. After a dreary and long day at work and the blissful welcome of the weekend, Natsu and Juvia had much to catch up on. Mentally and physically.
Natsu simply responded with a determined grin and went on to tickle her in the spots she failed to keep hidden, a small giggle rising out of Juvia while she tried to squirm out of his hold. No can do, however when you're faced with an equally mischevious man- boy, she thinks deviously- that happens to share an unfortunately stubborn trait as you. Finally, she sees an escape and rolls away to her side of the bed that's somewhat cold compared to his side, and holds up a glorious pillow at him.
The 'victim' sees a glint in her eyes before he narrowly avoids the bag of fluff, and chucks it wherever he saw her. They're both trying not to laugh in the event the kids wake, but it's so hard not to when there's something like a sugar rush flowing through them.
After trying many times, Natsu gets a hold of her wrist that's not holding an abused pillow and promptly realizes they're both panting after their rigorous activity. Her cheeks are flushed and her eyes are shining brightly even through the mane of hair framing her face. Bad idea to get distracted.
Juvia pins him down with a rather different force than she did earlier, and leans down to place a chaste peck on his cheek- wow, certainly a lot more innocent than an hour ago- and he decides to indulge himself before they collapse in content exhaustion. She gets the hint.
By now, they're practically a mess of tangled limbs, and he's rather distracted with the way she smiles at him, different from her long ago pessimism when the door opens. The door to their bedroom, he notes distractedly. Juvia gets off him half-reluctantly, half worried.
The proud parents see their 4 year old daughter weeping. Immediately, he gets off the bed to join Juvia to comfort her.
"Mommy? Daddy? I.. I peed in the wrong place."
Ah. The joys of parenting.
