Raku wondered if he was a morning person. Either that or he just loved his men enough to cook breakfast for them everyday. Waking up early to cook for a house of Yakuza members was no light task. How are they faring without him? Hopefully his kitchen wasn't in too bad of a situation.

In any case, Raku knew he didn't need to be a morning person to know that he loved mornings with Chitoge. When they first met, he never would've thought they'd end up like this. He's glad they did. He never knew he could fall in love this hard, as cheesy as that sounded.

It wasn't that early in the morning, just around 7AM when he woke up. The jet lag will probably last for a few more days. Chitoge was still out cold, probably because this was her first day off in weeks, according to Tsugumi. She apparently worked double time so she wouldn't be behind on any work even with him here. His Honey was working too hard.

Raku doesn't have it in him to move away from her gentle vice grip. Well, he tried actually, but then remembered that it'd be wiser to stay still. He'd just have to cook breakfast later.

So, he busied himself with running his fingers through her hair. Brushing her bangs to the side, tracing her face, looking at her lips. If only he could kiss her without signing a death sentence for himself. He wouldn't put it past Chitoge to see it as a perverted act rather than an innocent one if he did it at that moment.

Just as he was tracing the outline of her eyes, they flutter open. If Raku hadn't known Chitoge, he would've described it as almost angelic. She loosened her hold on him as she stretched and yawned and practically took over the whole bed.

"You slept like a rock." He said.

"Good morning to you too, Bean Sprout. You weren't staring at me while I slept, were you?," she asked, giving him a suspicious look.

"And why would I do that?" He asked in a lazy tone.

"Because you missed my beauty and just want to stare at me all day." She said seriously.

They stared each other down until neither of them could keep it up and blew up in laughter. Raku decided that these were the kind of mornings he liked best. Chitoge thought the same and quickly pushed away the thought of him having to leave her again after a while, she just wanted to enjoy the moment.

They stay in bed as their laughter died down, holding hands and staring at the suddenly interesting ceiling. "I wish all our mornings were like this." Chitoge said, squeezing Raku's hand.

"Just 15 more months. Compared to the years we've waited, it's not as long anymore." Raku told her.

"Mhm." Chitoge hummed, seemingly unconvinced. 15 months was still a long time.

"Unless you want to marry me right now. We are in America. There should be an officiator here somewhere. What do you say, Honey?" Raku joked as he lay on his side to show her his playful smile.

"Are you seriously proposing to me right now?" Chitoge lay on her side to look at him as well. She was playing along.

"Maybe." Raku said as he brushed away the wisps of hair on her face.

"I'm tempted, but they'd kill you if we got married without them. Them being my family and yours." Chitoge told him as she snuggled into his warmth. He smelled like home.

"Why would I be the only one getting killed? That's unfair." He put his arms around her.

"Because they love me too much to kill me." She looks up to give him a smug but endearing smile. "So let's wait 15 more months because I need you alive more than I need you to be my husband now." She blushed the moment she finished her sentence. Chitoge had no idea where the hell those words suddenly came from but my goodness, were they cheesy.

"Fifteen more months it is then." Raku said as he gave Chitoge a light kiss on the forehead. "So, what're we doing for today?" He asked.

"Well, at 10 I have to go at the office to take care of something for a bit. It might take an hour or two so you might want to just wait here for me to pick you up." Chitoge said as she reached for her phone to look at their appointments. Busy days ahead. Truly.

"Can't I just wait for you there? You'd be wasting gas to come back for me." Raku suggested as he watched her twiddle with her phone.

"I can't work with you there. Plus, everyone will keep asking me about you and that'll delay everything even more."

"Fair enough, but you don't have to come back for me. I'll meet you there." He said as he stretched.

"Sure you won't get lost?" She asked him.

"I'm sure. Now go get ready, I'll make breakfast for us. Any requests?" He stood up and walked to the kitchen.

"Anything with crispy bacon with or in it." Chitoge said as she stood up. She felt rather cold not having him by her side. "Don't you dare peek at me, Raku Ichijou!" She told him as an afterthought and gave him a quick glare before starting to prepare herself for the day.

"I'm not a pervert you know, and bacon it is."

A/N: It's a bit short, sorry about that. I really am trying. I'm sorry for any typos; feel free to point them out to me. All the reviews for the last chapter were lovely. I just miss this pairing and wish there more new fics for them. I'm glad we had another manga chapter where we see their kid. I just wish we saw them as a real couple. A real, engaged, married, and waiting for a baby kind of couple. I guess that's why I'm trying to write this. Thank you for the support. Hopefully, I'll put up the next chapter soon. God speed!
