Took a small break to work on somethings. I've had a couple ideas thrown at me so I'm working on them but it's quite complex currently. Hoping to get some more out soon in the next couple weeks.

This takes place after Vows of Truth

Next chapter after this: Intimidating Pair (Takes place during Persona 4)


Domesticated Pair

"Seta-Sensei is so cool!"

"Seta-Sensei is like the best teacher ever!"

"Seta-Sensei is so cute; no one else is like him." Souji Seta was surrounded by the young girls from his current homeroom class. He sighed as he tried to wade through the fan girls he generated in his first two weeks. As he exited the crowd, he saw the woman in his life waiting at the front of the school gates. She had a simple blue tank top under a short sleeve opened blouse. Her trousers stopped short just under her knees. Her blue shoulder length locks flowed freely in the light breeze of the late spring.

"I'm sorry guys, but I have my own special lady to get too." There was a collective 'Awww...' coming from his fan group as he pointed to the blue haired woman in the background. They all turned around and was greeted by a quick wave.

"Man, she's beautiful."

"No surprise he has someone this good." Souji just sighed again as he finally broke free from the crowd. He jogged over to his wife who was sporting an amused look on her face.

"Seems that you attract people regardless of where you go." They walked to the black Daihatsu Materia pulled up just outside the school and Naoto motioned for him to get in, which meant she was driving today.

"Heh, so how come you've got time off?" She slotted herself into the driver's seat and pulled the seat belt over.

"The current cases' paperwork is near complete and the new cases have time before the ground work needs to be done, hence why I'm at your work this afternoon." She smiled happily at him as he mirrored her expression.

"It's nice seeing you today, not like work was hard or anything. But it's tough to get a breather since for some reason I'm so popular." Naoto only giggled at her husband's despair as she pulled out of the school's road. "Hey! It's not that funny, I've been waiting all day to have a break so I think I'll just stick my head in some cooking..."

She observed his face; his cheeks were dusted light pink from being flustered about his attention grabbing qualities. "You know Souji-kun I always wonder about you..."

He looked up from the book he started reading and gave her an inquisitive look. Without turning away from the road, Naoto carried on. "The great leader of the investigation team; the man who lead the seekers of the truth through the fog-"

He blushed. "I am only one person. Not the whole team."

"Still..." She shifted gears as she hit the dual carriage way. "...The man who carried three jobs to help their objectives. The individual who held the heart of one of the most famous starlets in Japan, the man who made a god swoon for him. And the man who was able to steal a detectives heart..." She shifted into the faster lane and picked up speed.

"...Who would have thought this man is so..." She turned to him for a moment, with a coy smile on her face. "...so domesticated."

Souji recoiled. "Whoa, hold on there-"

"Am I wrong?" Souji looked down at his book, re-reading the last sentence.

"No. I just like to do menial tasks and live life slower than I used too." She giggled again.

"You're cooking and cleaning skills are amazing, you spend so much time doing the house work you might as well be a full time house husband." The new teacher shrugged.

"I think that's fair considering I don't have a full time job unlike my wife over here that is making a majority of our income." She flushed and then scoffed at his comment.

"No but you have two part time jobs." She looked at him for a moment. "Or is there more I'm not aware of?"

"No only two." Naoto weaved in between traffic, subconsciously putting priority into getting home faster. Souji has been an interesting case since they got married. He now held a job at a school in Osaka as a part time teacher. While it wasn't all hours, it was enough to devote a considerable amount of time to the activity. The second one was a helper to the Shirogane Estate. He assisted Naoto as a freelance and when at times she would need the extra man power, as a bodyguard. Since he insisted he did not want to be on the Estate full time, she always had the weird scenarios of sorting out invoices and paying her husband for his help. That said, all of the money went back into their daily lives as a couple. Since he spent less time doing all of that work he was assigned to across his two jobs than her working on cases, he spend his time on house work and the occasional tutoring.

"So what are you planning on cooking this evening?" He raised his hand to his chin thought.

"I was gonna aim for a simple Katsu Curry, something filling but also traditional." Naoto's stomach growled at his suggestion.

"I look forward to it Souji-kun, like every day with your cooking." Souji grinned at the compliment.

"I would hope so; I wouldn't want all of those lunches and dinners going to waste." She shook her head as she took a turning off the carriage way to take them back on to suburban roads.

"I always love your cooking, and I bring it with me even if there might be dinner established." She flashed him a loving smile as she looked for their drive to turn into. "Even the restaurants and other establishments the detective business has me dragged too can't compare to the food I get at home."

"It surprises me how often you get dragged to dinners and parties actually." She successfully parked the car in their drive way with ease.

"The Shirogane name is still a big part of the detective and police circles in Japan. So as the heir to the Shirogane estate, I have to make a lot of business trips to them for the sake of appearance. It's not my favourite thing I would like to do in the evenings." Souji hummed in agreement as the wedded couple left the car and walked to the front door.

A pang of guilt shot through Naoto as she put her key in the door. "I'm sorry I don't invite you to them."

Souji raised an eye brow in confusion. "What brought this on?"

She turned the key and unlocked it, continuing as she walked through the house with Souji in tow. The former leader gently closed the door, checking to see it was locked before following Naoto into the living room.

"It seems that I'm just hiding you from my working world. Like you aren't good enough..." Souji put a reassuring hand on her shoulder and spun her around to face him.

"I never think that..." He stroked her cheek lovingly. "I know you like to keep work and private life separate as much as possible." She blushed heavily under his ministrations.

"Mmm..."

"Plus..." He grinned as she looked up at him. "...The fact you are called Mrs yet you still carry the Shirogane family name throws people off."

"Yeah, a lot of people are still unsure how that happened." She looked down, her eyes downcast. "Back before we got engaged, there were so many families that would have loved to have the Shirogane family name linked to theirs..."

"I can imagine..."

She nodded. "Yeah, there was many who went to my grandpa directly, asking for my hand in marriage with the promise of a stable and supportive life for exchange for the hand of the heir of the Shirogane estate." She shook her head in annoyance with dealing with the marriage requests. "The fact I was dating someone was only a rumour to most so no-one had an idea that I've already given my heart to a special person already." She looked up at him lovingly.

"This is surprising considering we are actually quite public about our relationship." She smiled like she figured something out.

"Well my dress style is very night and day once I'm out of the working atmosphere. I must admit, that most people do not recognise me once I'm in casual clothing."

"I guess they don't know the different sides of Naoto." She laughed.

"And I prefer for them to only know the working side." She shuffled in close and took his shirt in her hands and looked up at him. "Only one man is allowed to know ALL of the side myself."

His arms circled her waist bringing her closer. "Yeah, like what sides?

"The detective work Naoto, the side of myself loyal to family and friends, the loving wife, the..." She looked down for a second. "...the insecure embarrassed side and..." She leaned up to whisper in his ear huskily. "...The passionate lover side."

Almost instantly, Souji dove down locking her in a passionate kiss which caused her to whimper. Her arms draped around his neck. She tilted her head softly which quickly deepened the kiss. His hands moved to her behind which cause her to break away and yelp in surprise, and with ease he lifted her causing her to lock her legs around his waist to stay steady. Carefully he sat on the sofa in their small apartment with Naoto straddling him.

She broke away from him to jab him with a finger to the forehead. "What about dinner?"

His hands moved to the small of her back pulling her forward while grinning mischievously. "I have a passionate lover side to make happy." He locked lips with her again and rolled over so she was pinned under him. She mewed at the attention as her hands started pulling at the buttons of his shirt.
