Chapter Nine
Fuu spread out a blanket and sat Suu down on it. Suu sat there and looked around at the noisy park. Luckily for Fuu and Ferio, Suu still had yet to learn how to walk.
Fuu and Ferio sat down on the grass, Ferio leaned against a big tree. Fuu smoothed out her skirt as she stared down at her hands.
Suu began to look bored, and Fuu worried that she'd start wailing again. So Fuu took out Suu's favorite book, 'Pat the Bunny'. Suu clapped when she recognized the book.
"Hey, let me read it." Ferio offered as he took the book from Fuu's hands.
Fuu set Suu down in Ferio's lap and he began to read.
"Can you pat the bunny?" Ferio asked Suu.
Suu pulled the book from his hands and patted the bunny. She then threw the book as far as she could.
"So much for that," Ferio mumbled.
Fuu took Suu from Ferio's lap and placed her back on the blanket. Then she handed Suu a teething ring. Suu dropped the teething ring and began pulling grass from the lawn.
Ferio rapped his arms around Fuu. "Life couldn't get any better."
"Unless you were to find a more beautiful girl." Fuu replied softly.
"What?!" Ferio said, utterly shocked. "No way. There's no such thing Fuu-chan! No one could ever be more beautiful than you."
Ferio hugged Fuu.
"I'm glad you are so sure." Fuu replied as she sighed happily.
Ferio kissed Fuu on the cheek.
"You're the only one for me Fuu-chan. Forever and always."
"Tell me again, WHY are we doing this?" Hikaru wined.
She and Umi were crouched in a bush just behind Fuu and Ferio.
"Quiet!" Umi hissed.
"they're watching us," Fuu whispered to Ferio.
"Well... Let's give 'em something to watch!" Ferio whispered back.
Ferio kissed Fuu passionately. He glided a hand down her back. He then used that hand to push Fuu closer.
Fuu was surprised and shocked at his boldness.
"Eww! In the park?!" Umi cried.
She then covered Hikaru's eyes.
Fuu broke the kiss. "We shouldn't get TOO carried away."
Ferio nodded. "Not that I could ever tier of kissing you Fuu."
Fuu laughed and kissed him on the cheek.
"We know ya'll are back there." Ferio called out.
"Yup! here we are!" Hikaru cried as she jumped out of the bushes.
Fuu rolled her eyes and considered throwing 'Pat the Bunny' at her.
