EtsuNe [Etsuya Eizan x Nene Kinokuni] - Etsuya yearning for some alone time with Nene.

A new upscale Japanese restaurant had opened in town. And one of the greatest honors for any Japanese restaurant, one that would make it even more upscale, was having Eizan Nene on it's opening party.

To the surprise of absolutely no one the restaurant's head chef and manager as well as a bunch of journalists flocked to the door the very moment the crown jewel of Japanese cuisine stepped in.

Eizan Etsuya rolled his eyes as his wife was asked the same question she's been asked 16 other times already. They had spent three and a half hours on this celebration and within that timespan he had been able to speak just about five sentences with his wife, given that they kept pulling her away from him.

He started to grow tired.

And so as the foodie finally retreated, Etsuya took his chance and seized Nene's hand. Thankfully, he gained her attention.

"Don't you think it's getting rather late?"

She blinked before taking out her mobile to check the time. "You're right.." And so, 15 minutes later, the couple made their exist out of the restaurant at last.

Happy to finally have his wife for his own, Etsuya, in broad gesture, laid an arm around her as he lead her to the limousine. She leaned in a little closer in return, making the smile on his face a tiny bit wider.

But then he remembered that their alone-time would be a short one, considering that at home their three turbulent sons and his chatty aunt were waiting for them.

Unless.

When reaching the car, Etsuya gave the driver instructions that made Nene frown in confusion. When he turned back to her and saw that quizzical expression of her's, he said. "Babe, let's take the long ride home."

"Why?" She asked, still frowning, as she watched him opening the car for her. "I thought you wanted to go home as soon as possible?"

"What I want", he began and one of his smirks found his way on his face,"is to have my beautiful wife for myself for a little bit." He nodded towards the car. "Come on, as I know you you're missing some calm and quiet as well, no?"

The skeptical expression remained for a good two seconds, before she sighed and admitted. "I could use some indeed."

And so she entered the car and let herself fall on the comfortable leather seats, with her husband following right after.

For the next twenty minutes they allowed themselves to blank the world out and simply enjoy each other's company.
