Chapter Six
Ferio watched the sun creep up and into the room. The sun made Fuu's golden hair look like it had a halo. A smile spread across his face.
He tilted his head trying to work out the crick in his neck. He sat and watched the thymic rise and fall of Fuu's chest as she breathed.
Someday he would be able to watch that every morning as he lie next to her. Every morning of every wonderful day with her. For now he had to be content with this though.
Fuu opened one eye just a little bit. But it was enough to see him intently watching her. He looked so sweet against the jungle animal wall paper, or at least in her mind.
Fuu then realized a blanket had been carefully placed on her and Suu as well.
Fuu rubbed the sleep and crust out of her eyes.
"And the sleeping beauty awakens." Ferio whispered.
Fuu felt a warm blush creep over her face.
She got up and placed Suu down in her crib.
"Nice under wear." Ferio commented.
Fuu turned really red this time as she pulled her night shirt down.
"You didn't see that." She said.
He nodded and stood up.
"How about a good morning kiss?" He asked.
She put a finger up to her lips. "I have yet to brush my teeth."
He sighed and then just hugged her.
"What was that for?"
"Just making sure you're real." He replied.
She ran a finger down his bare chest.
It was like a million tiny bolts of electricity to him.
"I'm gonna go shower. You stay here and watch Suu-chan." Fuu whispered.
Ferio nodded.
Fuu sang softly in the shower as she worked the shampoo in.
She smiled as she thought of Ferio.
Ferio picked up the now wailing Suu. He wrinkled up his nose. "Puu." He mumbled.
Suddenly, without warning, Suu spit up all over him.
"She's ill!" Ferio yelped.
He ran to the bathroom and flung the door opening while he held Suu with one arm.
Fuu was just stepping out of the shower, but had already rapped herself in a towel.
"Ferio!" She shrieked.
Ferio slapped his free hand over his eyes. Suu giggled.
"I'm SO sorry Fuu-chan! Well.... Maybe not kinda... BUT Suu just threw up on me and I thought she might be ill." Ferio replied.
He peeked out from between his fingers.
"It's just spit up." Fuu replied.
"Oh."
Ferio removed his hand from his eyes. Fuu took Suu from him, and still managed to keep her towel on.
"You better wash up." She said.
"Wanna join me?" Ferio said in reply, he then slapped a hand over his own mouth.
Both blushed as the thought ran threw their heads. Fuu then
laughed and left him alone in the bath room.
When he came out into the kitchen Fuu was fully dressed. She wore short dark blue jean shorts, a white tank top and some white sandles.
Ferio had on a pair of Fuu's dad's jeans and a tee shirt. Plus a pair of sandles.
Ferio looked Fuu up and down and bit his lip, Fuu looked 'good'. Fuu smiled at him. His golden eyes gleamed with mischief and interest.
Fuu realized the oat meal was bubbling over the side of the pot.
"Oh!" She yelped.
She raised an eye brow. "Um. It looks nothing like when mother does it."
"What do you do with that?" Ferio asked.
Fuu sweat dropped. "You eat it."
Ferio sweat dropped. "If you say so."
Fuu sighed. "I have also run out of bread. No toast either."
Ferio shrugged. "What else ya got?"
Fuu opened a cabinet and took out a box of cereal. She then got out two bowls and the milk.
"Great!" Ferio said with a grin.
Fuu stared down at her feet. He tilted her face up with his hand. He brushed his lips against hers. A sweet feather-light caress. Fuu almost melted. She could feel the how much he loved her with just one light kiss.
Suu clapped her pudgy little hands.
"Next stop, the grocery store." Fuu said with a smile.
