-Day 15: Home-


"Where are we going?" Misaki said leaning back into the comfort of Takumi's car. He had woken her up at 8 am when all she wanted to do was sleep before she would have to finish up some work she brought home with her. She wanted everything to be completed before she would have to fly out again. "Don't you have lives to save?"

"The only life I'm thinking about right now is our future Misa." He answered turning slightly to wink at her then focus on the road. "Here. Put this on." He said handing her a scarf. "I don't want to ruin the surprise."

Misaki stared at the scarf. What could he be up to? She swore if it was something perverted she'll hit him so hard his alien family felt it in outer space. She could see the excitement on his face and didn't want to ruin the moment so she cautiously put the scarf around her face to cover her eyes.

"And part one of the kidnapping is complete. It took ten years but now no one would suspect a thing." Takumi joked.

"Usui!" Misaki warned.

Takumi sighed heavily. "Misaki, how many times will I have to remind you that we're both Usui's."

"Sorry. Force of habit." She apologized. It was hard to call him Takumi when she used to yell Usui daily before they were married.

"It's strange you only say Takumi when we're making love-"

Whack!

-Oww!"

How could he just openly say things like that? Sure they were married and it was fine to talk about their sex life but she wasn't fully confident to do so. It felt weird to her. There were so many things she needed to work on now that they were married. She should probably stop hitting him too.

"I'm sorry." She started reaching over to pat where she hit him.

Takumi smiled softly loving her affection.

"Take one small step and you're there." He said ushering Misaki inside the home he bought. "Okay. Open your eyes."

Misaki quickly took off the scarf and look around the empty house. "This is?"

"Our home. Just for the two of us." Takumi smiled dangling the key in front of her face.

Misaki was lost for words. She didn't expect for him to have been searching for a house. She thought they would be spending their time in England with his grandfather.

"We'll stay here while we're in England. My grandfather wouldn't be able to watch our every movement. Even when we move back to Japan we can still have this house here." He took her hand in his to give her a tour of the house. "It has two bedrooms, two offices, one bathroom and outside we have an area to make a garden."

"Wow. I- I didn't know you thought all this out already." She whispered.

"From the moment I proposed to you I began to plan our future. I can't wait for it to be just me and you in this house. Maybe some mini prez running around." He teased kissing her forehead. "Should we start working on the last part?"

"Idiot." Misaki muttered blushing at his words.

Next chapter is called "Misaki's secret".
