Chapter Thirty Seven – My Husband

How old was he getting? Was he really in bed already?

Those were the thoughts that Kuon had as he looked at the alarm clock. Somehow when he was younger, he had absolutely no trouble staying awake all night but now he was in bed whilst falling asleep with fading eyesight in his early thirties. Had he gotten this out of touch with the fun night time activities that he used to enjoy so much.

He sighed as he closed his eyes and pulled the duvet around him closer. He just needed to get to sleep and start fresh the next morning. He had always been told to take it one day at a time by the doctors he had seen. If he fell asleep then he could concentrate on the next day and say that today had finished.

He was just about to try steadying and slowing his breaths when he felt something brush through his hair and his eyes opened. He blinked as he smelled her beside him and he felt her presence. She played with his blond hair again and this time giggled. "Hey," he smiled as he rolled over, "I didn't hear you come in."

"Hmm, I guess I'm sneaky like that," Kyoko said as she leaned down and kissed his head, smelling his hair as she did so. She slowly pressed kisses down the back of his neck and then got to his shoulder. She got down on all fours and slowly pulled away his shirt, pressing her lips over his heart before sucking down hard.

Kuon looked at her with a dazzling smile that was tripled in his eyes as she positioned herself over him like an animal with its prey. "What are you doing?" he laughed happily and Kyoko was excited to see that much happiness in his expression. She wanted to always do things that would make him look that happy.

"I'm claiming my prize," Kyoko said as she pressed her hands on his chest and kissed him passionately. She lifted one hand and ran her fingers down his cheek and his neck down onto his chest. "You know how I've always believed in fairy princes?" she asked and Kuon hummed as an affirmative answer, "Do you know that I see you as so much more handsome, sexy, gorgeous, perfectly imperfect than any of those stupid no-name princes," she said as she brushed some of his hair away again.

Kuon smiled, "You are the most beautiful, sexy, adorable woman that I've known as well," he said as he finally managed to sit up. He reached out to caress her cheek before kissing her again. "Are you sure?" he asked considerately and Kyoko laughed.

"Am I sure that I want to have sex with my amazing husband, my prince, the man I place above all others, the person who I love most? Yes, I am definitely sure," she smiled as she felt his hands slowly take off the cardigan that she was wearing and he draped it over the side table before slipping his hands under her long sleeved shirt before slowly removing it from her body.

As Kyoko sat there with no shirt on, she reached across for his hand and placed it on her left breast, "I want you to remember, Kuon, that I am yours. I am all yours. I am only yours. Every single piece of me, I share with you."

"And every piece of me I share with you," Kuon said before the room became a mess of clothes and some steamy romance.

…

…

Kuon smiled as he kept his arm around his wife who was resting peacefully on his chest. Kyoko had asked that they try to make a baby and so Kuon had been happy to do so. Isabella had been planned and so they had the experience when they were trying for her. Having another son or daughter would feel amazing especially if they were able to raise them together.

"Was that good for you as well?" Kuon asked his wife as she hummed matching his inhale and exhale. He loved how active she was despite being petite, she was amazing and he had never had better relations with anyone, hopefully she felt that she wasn't missing out by having sex with one guy and one guy only. He hoped he was good enough for her.

"It was amazing," Kyoko said, "have you told Shotaro that your bigger than he is during your trolling?" she asked and Kuon laughed at that.

"Now, I don't really want to be a dick to him that badly," he teased and Kyoko smiled again as she concentrated on the inhales and exhales of the man who owned her heart but kept it on a throne where he could take care of it.

Kyoko snuggled closer to Kuon and kissed his chest lovingly, "Are you happy?" she asked and Kuon paused.

"I am when you're here," he told her honestly and Kyoko lifted her head so she could look at him, she gazed into those emerald eyes and kissed him again.

"Good, but we're going to have to work on you always being happy," she said as he gazed back at her as if admiring a master work of art. He nodded in agreement. "Kuon, I don't know what I would have done had I never met you, you changed my entire life."

"You are the one who changed my life," Kuon said as she wrapped her arms around him closer and smiled softly before falling asleep.

"I'm so happy because of you," she said as he kissed her. He felt so much better now that she was back in his arms, he wanted to work on being happy for her and getting stronger again. He wanted this family to really work and it felt so easy, with her at his side it felt so much easier than it had been.

…

…

"And Cut!" the director called out with an energetic smile and Kuon turned to face the man, letting down his walls for a moment as The Arrow, he looked at the crossbow that he was holding and then handed it to one of the crew who came to polish it. "Kuon," the director chuckled as he approached him, "You had such vigor in that last scene, you were epic. I want you to keep drawing that…that passion out of your character always," he said and Kuon smiled with a nod.

He had worked so hard in Hollywood trying to get to the point he was at now. He had worked harder than he would have ever thought possible and pushed himself to limits that he couldn't imagine but it was alright now. It was all alright now. He had Kyoko, he had his wonderful wife and the mother to their child.

"So, how did you manage to do it?" the director asked, "How did you go up to the next rung of the ladder as you actors like to say?"

Kuon hesitated, he knew the reason why he was doing so well today but it didn't matter that he was in America instead of Japan, it didn't matter how old her was or that there weren't many people around, saying that he was performing better because he had had sex with his wife wasn't professional at all.

"I think I've just let the character speak to me," Kuon said and the director gave him a thumbs up.

"I thought that was it so keep doing that, keep giving more, I want to not be able to tell the difference between the two of you. I want you to make me fully believe that you're your character," the director continued. Ren smiled as he listened to the man and took in every word. "Okay, so we've got an hour of filming left for the day but let's take ten minutes to get everything cleaned and our prop department to do their work."

At this point a young man who was interning for the company approached the two of them, "Mr. Hizuri," he said as Kuon tilted his head to look at him, "You've got a guest."

"I've got a guest…" Kuon repeated and he looked back at the intern, "Were you able to get their name?"

"They told you just to tell you that Kyoko is here to see you," the intern said uneasily before seeming to calm at the type of smile that Kuon had on his face and how the intern thought that he could hear the voice of the angels by just witnessing the actor in that much joy.

"Is she in the lobby?" he asked before looking back at the director, "Hi," he said as he approached him, "Would it be alright if my wife came onto the set?" he asked since loved ones had often come to watch but there were some rules that they had to go through. "She worked as an actress in Japan so she knows what to do and what not to do on set."

The director nodded, "Introduce me to her, please?" he requested and Kuon went to the front of the building to see Kyoko there with a little parasol she had bought. She looked up at him before laughing and put a hand to her forehead.

"Hi, am I talking to Kuon or Green Arrow?" she asked and Kuon walked towards her and took off the mask that he was wearing.

"We were in the middle of shooting, I asked the director if you could come and watch it, you might have to sign a non-disclosure before you can watch but it'll be fun. I think you'll like it," he said as Kyoko nodded excitedly.

"I'd love to see you work like that," she said as she took hold of his arm, "You look so brave and heroic."

"Well they do tell me that I'm a superhero," Kuon teased her before they walked back onto the set and Kuon brought her over to the director. After speaking to him for a little bit, Kyoko was led to where she could have some headphones and a screen where she could watch what was happening. She also had to sign a few forms which, as Kuon had suspected, included a non-disclosure form.

As she sat down, Kuon walked over to her again. "I have to take the bad guys down in this scene so I'll really have to concentrate," he said with a grin. He looked her over and let his hand run through her hair, "You'll be okay, right? You didn't feel faint or dizzy when you were in the sun?"

"The doctor told me that I should expose myself to a little sunlight on a daily basis, I definitely thought watching you shoot would be worth it," Kyoko smiled and Kuon kissed her again before going back onto the set. Kyoko giggled as she knew from seeing him that close that he was wearing a clear lip balm.

Kyoko was beyond impressed as she kept looking at what the monitor was picking up from the camera and from what she could see of Kuon in real life. This was going to be an amazing movie and she could see how much pride he still took in his work. She could still see his passion for acting and his strength at building his characters.

As she was watching, a twenty-four-year-old actor approached her. He had started off as a model but had managed to pick up the skills of an actor and now he was one of the most wanted bachelor's in America. He looked at her, "God, you're ravishing," he said as Kyoko held up a finger. "Funny, most girls like hearing that they're absolutely beautiful, but you -"

"I'm sorry, not to be rude," Kyoko whispered, "but I want to see my husband's acting."

"Your husband?" the actor asked, "You're with that old guy? You need to be with someone -"

"Sorry," Kyoko said, "I don't want to talk to you. I want to watch my husband," she said as she left him baffled but the actor looked at her and sat down beside her.

"I'll wait," he told her and Kyoko couldn't help but find her body to tense at that.
