Once again, this was supposed to be Chapter 8 but ended up being Chapter 4. But it seems my priorities are a bit crap. Anyway a couple things.

My two requests I got in reviews, I got them, they both sound good and I'll start working on mock ups for them soon. HOWEVER any stories based off them after being engaged or married have to be delayed in posting until I've finished uploading side projects (Traditionally Unorthodox and beyond) which will hopefully be soon (All completed, going through Beta).

Relaxing Pair

Souji was quickly running around to gather things for Naoto's homecoming this evening. She had a high profile case in South Korea transferred to her and she was arriving back today. The apartment that they shared had been quiet since her departure ten days ago and Souji was looking forward to it being a bit more active again. He looked at the light dinner which was almost ready but that wasn't the main show this evening. Souji took a peak into the bedroom they shared and saw the small metal bowl on the bed side table with various bars and bottled oils in it. He smiled as his mind ran through his plans for the evening. He looked at his wrist in his surprise when he saw the time. Naoto would be home in about 20 minutes, he quickly rushed back to the kitchen hoping to get dinner ready.

...

...

...

The lock clicked then the door was pushed opened gently by a very tired Naoto. She sighed, happy to be back home from a case that dragged on a lot more than she liked. The bureaucratic red tape was incredible, so much that it delayed the investigation by three days. It also didn't help that she received quite a few sexist remarks from some of the police department officers while on the investigation. While she would prefer to brush it off and consider it idiotic thinking, that combined with the management in the case she just wanted to go home.

"Souji, I'm home!" She called into the apartment; she dropped the suffix when she was tired usually a good signal to her significant other that she wanted rest. And a secret request that she could be pampered for the night, she'll never tell him that of course.

"Ah, Naoto finally..." Souji peaked his head from the kitchen door and motioned for her to come along. She smiled tiredly at his face full of energy, while she felt she could collapse at any moment and hide away from the world, Souji's happiness from seeing her was quite refreshing. The sleuth dragged herself through the door was with her small suitcase in tow, slamming the door behind her. The sharp noise made her flinch as the door and doorframe connected. Loud noises were something she could do without right now. She moved into the kitchen but as she got in, the smell and sight of what was on the table caused her eyes to widen and to drop the handle of her suitcase.

"Is that for me?" She asked in surprise shifting looks between the food on the table and Souji cleaning up at the sink.

"Of course, why wouldn't it be?" He said with a smile. She looked at the two bowls of Gyudon with her own one being slightly smaller. One thing that always made her evening better is food made by her boyfriend. "Go on, dig in. I'll join you in a second."

Slipping off shoes as quickly as possible, she threw them aside and pulled out the chair from the table and dug in. Souji looked on in humour as the sleuth began to wolf the dinner down. He turned off the tap and hung up the dish he was cleaning before making his way to the table. He carefully pulled the chair out of the table and sat down. Taking a small bow of the head, he picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

20 minutes later a satisfied Naoto Shirogane leaned back in her chair in bliss. The only thing she misses more than Souji when she's away is his cooking. Regardless of what it is, it comes out good and always made her feel better regardless of the mood. She let out a satisfied breath as she saw Souji in the corner of her eye pick up the used bowls and take them to the sink.

"That was amazing Souji-kun." He turned to her with a grin as he turned the tap on.

"From what you told me over the phone I thought you needed that." He started to rinse the small specks of rice left as he hummed.

"I feel like I can curl up with a good book and go to bed early."

"About that..." She lifted her head up to look at him. "I've left some clothes on the bed, change into them and lie down; I'll be with you in a second when I'm done here." She raised a suspicious eye brow at him. "A-Ah I promise you'll like it."

Seemingly satisfied with his answer, Naoto excused herself from the table. "Don't take too long." She told him before leaving the room.

"Phew..."

A few moments later Souji walked into the bedroom, with the lights already dim from the lamps they use by the bed. Naoto was already laying down with in a sleeveless shirt and some shorts with her hair flowing freely down her back.

"If I wasn't sure of your intentions Souji-kun, I would suspect that you plan on seducing me tonight." She said calmly. Souji just laughed. Souji quickly tied Naoto's long hair into a quick pony tail causing the sleuth to give him a questionable look.

"Nah, you're too tired for that tonight, but I have a better idea." He walked by the side of the bed and pulled out a small bar on the bedside table shaped like a heart.

"What on earth is that?" Naoto's vision locked on to the cute soap bar looking item in Souji's hand. Her boyfriend just grinned.

"Wait and see..." He said cryptically. His words made her shift uneasily. "Just relax and leave it to me."

Naoto watched him very carefully as he began to rub the bar in between his hands. The whiff of chocolate started to become apparent and to the sleuth's deductions, it seemed to be emitted from the bar that Souji picked up. After a few more seconds Souji placed the bar back in the bowl and from what she could see a considerable amount of oil was on his hands. Suddenly all of the blood in her body rushed to her face, she saw this in a case once where it left everyone quite flustered.

"S-Souji-kun w-wait, I don't think-" Cutting off her protest he lifted up the bottom of her shirt, exposing the small of her back and placed his hands down and rubbed slowly.

"Ahh..." The moan pulled from Naoto was long and incredible. She felt every motion of Souji's hands working along the small of her back and her lower spine. His hands kept a gentle yet firm circular rotation, relaxing the muscles in the area. All of the tension she had about what Souji was doing disappeared as she completely relaxed against the bed.

"That feels so good..." She breathed. As Souji's hands moved to her sides, she groaned audibly, basking in how good it felt. He ran along her sides, switching from a rotation to a linear press, moving up then down repeatedly.

"Man, you are really tense." His digits drummed against her back pushing more of her shirt up in the process.

"Unclasp my bra please." She gasped. Souji just grinned as he flicked the clasp open. She sighed as his hands roamed in places where they didn't have access before. Her arms relaxed as she felt his hands over her shoulder blades before putting pressure on her upper back. He ran his the index and middle finger on his right hand down the line of her spine brings out a whimper from the sleuth. His hands glided to her shoulders grasping them firmly then applying then pressure. Souji's index finger carefully dug down around the collarbone and while his palms pressed against just above her shoulder blades. Souji paused as he tilted his head in thought.

"Needs more..." He removed his hands from the detective's back. Naoto whimpered in protest, demanding he went back to what he was doing immediately. "One second Princess, just need more oil."

He took the heart shape bar in his hands again, which looks a little worse for wear at this point. He rubbed it rigorously in his hand. After second, or so he placed it back into the bowl feeling that that was enough oil to finish her back. The scent of chocolate was strong enough to completely take over Naoto's sense of smell and the intensity of the current renewal of the oil only made her needs Souji's hands on her back.

"Please continue..." Naoto muttered. She gasped happily when Souji went back to her shoulders and pressed down. "W-Where did you learn such a skill?" Naoto asked, the occasional moan and shudder ran threw her as Souji continued his ministrations.

"I always knew this; I was just waiting for a good time to spring it on you." She hummed in acknowledgment. Souji finished off her back. "Anyway, I'm gonna move on to your legs."

Naoto sighed. "Thank you Souji-kun..." The silverette wiped his hands with a towel before reaching for a small bottle in the bowl. He carefully squeezed out some of its contents then smiled as he caught a whiff of the hint of mint of the gel. Throwing the bottle back into the bowl Souji placed his hands together to rub the gel in then began to massage her lower thighs. She hummed in appreciation as she felt his now cool hands pull, twist and glide of her muscles forcing them to relax. Souji smiled as he could feel the tension melt away in his hands.

"How is it?" He asked, moving his focus to behind her knee and her calves.

"Heavenly..." the reply was accompanied by a sigh.

Souji's began to concentrate, splitting his attention between both legs. Taking a hold just above her left ankle with his right hand, his left glided all the way from the back of her knee to meet the other hand and from there he massaged and pulled, kneading the best he could.

He repeated the same process as he changed to the other leg, only pausing to get more gel. The only time Naoto moved was to pull the straps of her bra through so she could pull it off and pull her shirt back down. As warm as her body felt, the draft threatened to cool her down. She would have never have guessed she would have gotten this treatment when she walked through the door today. While she didn't know it at the time, this was exactly what she needed after a long work trip away.

"Souji-kun?" She called feeling him pull off her socks. He grunted. "...Would you mind doing this whenever I get back from a work trip?" Souji looked at her warmly.

"Certainly" Wiping his hands off again with the towel, he switched to back to the heart shaped bar and to generate more oil. Naoto let off a blissful moan as Souji's hands started to work at her feet, the heavy smell of cocoa wrapped around her again, enveloping her in warm, cosy comfort. She shuddered as his hands just hit the right spot on the balls of her left foot. She could get used to this treatment every day if it was offered to her.

"That's it, keep going." She mumbled tiredly bringing a grin from the former leader. He pulled at her toes giving a small yelp in surprise, but relaxed again as he ran his hands from her toes to her ankles. Souji took her left ankle and gently rotated her foot to work out the kinks in the joint. Souji repeated the whole process on her other foot, treating it with just as much care as the other. Just as he finished running his fingers through the toes of her right foot, he let out a pleased breath.

"And I'm finished. How did that feel?" A small whine came from the sleuth which made Souji laugh. "I guess that says it all. I promise the next time you get back from a really long trip I'll give you the same treatment." Naoto sat up slowly stretching a little to get the blood flowing again.

"Souji-kun, that was amazing." Naoto ran a hand through her hair and yawned. "I think I might turn into bed, this activity has made me really sleepy." Her ability to focus was dwindling and she could barely keep herself upright.

With a smile and a kiss to the forehead, Souji packed up his things. "Don't wait up for me tonight, head to bed." Naoto blinked a few times, trying to process his words.

"Oh ok, I can do that." Naoto gazed at the metal bowl that contained the items which left a minty cocoa smell in the room.

'Maybe we can have fun with those.'

She caught the thought instantly and blushed hotly. This was totally not the right time for that.

'But we can another time though.'

Her face deepened even further attracting Souji's attention as he was leaving. With a face full of concern, "Is there something wrong?"

She shook her head vigorously. "No no, just me being this tired is a little embarrassing..." Souji wasn't convinced but let it go anyway. She head his footsteps fade in to the kitchen and vaguely hear the tap being turned on.

Her body crashed back down on to the bed. "Yeah I need sleep..."


Well that was fun, due to how this 'could' have went, there will be a rewrite for this at some point.
