Summary: Rei and Takao clean out Takao's grandfather's attic and find some interesting stuff.

"Tell me again why we're doing this?"

Takao threw a sidelong grin at his Neko-jin fiancé as he pushed the first box out through the cobwebs. "Cause my grandpa said if we don't he's not gonna help pay for the wedding."

"And remind me again why I'm marrying you?" Rei teased as his grin showed a glint of his fangs.

Without warning Takao attacked, bringing the man that was soon to be his husband in contact with the ground. He pinned Rei down, straddling over his hips as he held Rei's hands over his head.

"You're all mine," Takao smirked as he licked his lips, staring predatorily down at Rei.

He leaned down and brushed his lips against Rei's cheek, giving him a slight kiss.

Rei gave Takao a mock glare as he flipped their positions, reasserting his dominance. A whimsical smile passed over his lips as he stared down at Takao as he laid there in his arms.

"Not that I don't mind kitten but we don't got all day," Takao's voice shook Rei out of his dreamy state.

"Yeah," Rei fingered the blue hair absent-mindedly, not quite wanting to get up. Slowly he eased to his feet, pulling Takao up to him. His golden eyes locked onto Takao's and was instantly lost in the depth of them.

Takao snorted as he grabbed Rei's hand and pulled him towards the waiting box. He dropped into a sitting position as he pulled open the box and began rummaging through it, Rei soon sitting next to him.

Takao pulled out several frames and brushed the dust off. He had never seen the pictures before. "My father," he whispered as he stared at the dust-coated pictures. He seemed so happy in the photographs but that was a father Takao had never known.

Rei wrapped his arms around Takao as he fingered the photo albums in the box, pulling Takao into his lap.

Slowly Takao reached down and flipped the photo album, peering at the pictures as his eyes began to tear. He touched the sheets and ran his fingers over the pictures of two small boys.

"We'll have children of our own," Rei whispered as he pressed his lips to the top of Takao's ear. He held Takao's hands tightly as he stroked the tops of them. "We'll adopt if we have to."

Takao leaned heavily against Rei's chest and nuzzled against him, the beating of his fiancé's heart calming any worries he had.

Rei held him close, listening to the even breaths as he buried his face in the thick hair. Something in the bottom of the box caught Rei's eye as he took a closer look to see that they were cassette tapes.

Rei released Takao as he dug through them and pulled one out that was labeled 'wedding songs'. A grin flashed over his lips as he dug further into the box and found a radio cassette player.

Slowly he glanced around, finding an outlet and rushed over to it, plugging the machine in and inserting the tape then pressing the 'play' button. A slow song came out of the speakers as a low voice sang.

Rei ran back towards Takao and offered him his hand, Takao taking it, and pulled the blader into his arms.

Takao sighed as he relaxed in Rei's arms, moving slowly to the music. If anything was heaven, this was heaven.
