Unexpected
A Yû Yû Hakusho fanficiton by Sir Psycho Sexy
A/N: Written for a multifandom ' intimacy without smut' challenge for the Livejournal community Fic on Demand. Yûsuke/Keiko came to mind, because, face it- I think that they are the only canon couple who can be intimate without having sex. Het and fluff ahead!
----
"Yûsuke! You're driving like a maniac!" Keiko felt the erratic movement of her and her husband's compact sedan on the road, the wheels rolling into numerous pot holes and over so many already-deceased squirrels. "If you don't stop being so reckless, I'm going to take off this blindfold and…and…"
"Aww, c'mon, Keiko! Relax! And you can't take the blindfold off until I say so. It ain't going to be a surprise if ya do, right?" Yûsuke still drove with an erratic inconsistency and absolute disregard for his fellow drivers. He was impatient; he had to get his wife to the surprise location, even if it was for making up for that time on their last anniversary when he accidentally spilled champagne all over her brand-new, dry-clean-only dress, and then had the nerve to make a crack that his wife looked like a high-class wet-T-shirt contest participant.
"Fine," Keiko grumbled. "Just drive like a human being, okay?"
"Dammit, Keiko! You know I'm part demon!"
"I meant drive like someone civilized, Yûsuke."
"Fine." Yûsuke pulled over onto the side of the road, got his bearing, and proceeded down the highway slower and less reckless than he had been going.
Five minutes later, without much arguing, or any small talk for that matter, between the couple, Yûsuke parked the car, and gently led his wife out of the car.
"Can I peek now?" she asked.
"Not yet. Just follow me, 'kay?" Keiko nodded and did what her husband told her.
After about a minute or so, Yûsuke removed his wife's blindfold. There before the not-so-happy couple lay the very spread of beach that Yûsuke proposed to Keiko upon, after spending three years in Makai.
Keiko gasped. "You did this for me? You actually i remembered /i where you proposed to me? Oh, Yûsuke!" She then knocked her husband over into the rolling waves with a fierce hug, and attempted to kiss him.
Yûsuke restrained his wife, placing his index finger over her mouth. "Shhh- it's gonna get a LOT better." Then the two of them sat upright on the sand, waiting for Yûsuke's "surprise".
He had timed coming to the beach almost exactly when the sun was about to set. Both of them watched as the sun dipped below the horizon, coloring the sky various shades of russet and gold. As they watched, Yûsuke crept his hand towards Keiko's, holding it tightly, lifting it up, and then kissing it.
As he announced "Happy anniversary," Yûsuke turned towards Keiko and smiled; Keiko smiled back, tears of joy barely perceptible flowing down her face.
Sometimes he is an annoying, perverted brat, thought Keiko to herself, but it's the unexpected things like this that make being married to him worthwhile.
