Flexibility

Her husband was many things.

Strict. Punctual. Dedicated.

However flexible wasn't a word that existed in his vocabulary. The day was scheduled to the very minute and any deviation caused him stress.

"Doppo," Kagome called his name softly, "You're starting to growl again."

The man stopped his pacing just long enough to cast her a quick glance. He gave an exaggerated sigh through his nose before sinking onto the mattress beside her.

"I apologize," He pinched the bridge of his nose between his index finger and thumb. "It's just that when Dazai is involved things get chaotic." His brows furrowed at the thought.

She pressed her palms to either side of his face, "And yet Dazai is with us. As much as he frustrates you, he's doing everything he can to help. Have faith in your colleague." Her smile softened at his stern expression, "We all have our faults but we should still extend each other trust."

She felt his hand shift to press at the swell of her stomach. Sixteen weeks and counting, she was beginning to show a little more than she'd expected. They'd meticulously planned this pregnancy but that didn't mean that they were immune from life's curve balls. This time it came in the form of a man named Fyodor.

Kunikida pulled her down onto his lap. His arms tightened around her waist as he pressed his face against the nape of her neck.

Kagome tangled her fingers within his untied hair. She pressed the pads of her fingers against his scalp in a gentle massage.

"Be flexible," She cooed next to his ear. "You are my husband and the father of this child. No matter what happens, those two facts will never change."

His brows furrowed, "I don't think you understand how dangerous this is."

"I do understand," She responded calmly. "I'm just putting my trust in Dazai and you. I'm not afraid because you're here."

It was the truth.

Kunikida had been her rock for the past five years. He'd been the one to help her when she'd found herself homeless and without a penny to her name. When her family had kicked her out she'd wandered the streets until her found her. He'd given her everything she needed to get back on her feet again.

More than anything she wanted to give him the same.

Kagome curled her arms around his neck.

"Hey," She smiled against the shell of his ear. "Did I tell you that I love you?"

She felt the faint twitch of his lips against her collarbone.

"No."

Her smile widened, "Well I do and I always will."

His arms locked around her waist.

"And I you."

His weight shifted as she found her back pressing against their shared mattress. The warmth of his lips descended upon her own.

This was the one thing he'd shift his schedule around for.

Kagome lifted her hands over her head as his palms went to work on removing her clothing.

Not Dazai nor Fyodor would ever change this aspect of their relationship. No matter what happened, they would always be there for each other.

She felt the sharp lance of his intrusion.

Kagome bit into her bottom lip as she gripped his shoulder blades. Her eyes slid close as she took solace in the warmth of his body.

She couldn't ever ask for more.
