Shouta's fingers tapped on his knees. Katrina eyed his fingers, "What's got you nervous?"

Shouta paused his fingers, "Nothing."

Katrina flicked her eyes to his face to see he is nonchalant. Katrina hummed, "You know... You think you are being so slick with this surprise but I know we are going to Osaka."

Shouta's eyes slowly trailed to her, "And?"

The woman huffed, "You're not going to tell me anything, huh?"

Shouta hummed, "Mhmmm. I told you it's a surprise."

She mumbled, "A surprise, huh? More like I'm dying in anticipation over here."

Her husband reminded her, "You didn't have a problem about knowing our child's gender."

Katrina leaned her head back looking up at the ceiling, "That's different. I rather not know about that. That's a welcoming surprise. This is not."

Shouta shifted in his train seat to face her. She did the same with her arms crossed. Shouta drawled, "This will be a welcoming surprise. Trust me."

Katrina studied the man. She asked slowly, "And why all the sudden that you decide we need to take a vacation without the children?"

Shouta raised his brows. He leaned on his arm which was propped on the arm rest between the two. Shouta droned, "Did you forget what this weekend is?"

Katrina gave her husband a look of 'what do you mean'. Shouta teased, "I didn't expect my own wife to forget her own birthday."

Mentally, Katrina started to figure out the dates, "Oh it is..."

He looked amused, "You don't seem to happy."

Katrina lolled her head to the side, "I'm 31 now. When did this happen?"

Shouta gave her a look of 'do you really not know'. Katrina lightly shoved his shoulder, "Oh I know how it happened, smartass. It's just like I was 15 not too long ago applying for the entrance exam of U.A. Oh, I had to sneak out to do that. My foster family didn't want a hero in their midst. They wanted a quiet family lifestyle."

Shouta reached for her hand. His fingers lightly touched every single finger of her left hand. Lightly he played with the wedding ring sitting on her ring finger, "Well I'm glad you did or I would be stuck with Mic for the whole eternity."

Katrina started to remove her hand from his, "Oh that's what I am? You're escape from one of the nicest man there is no matter how loud he can be."

Shouta kept his grip on her hand with his left. He decided to wear his ring for this weekend. Not many knew who they were. He pulled her hand softly to his lips and gave it a kiss. He mumbled against her skin, "No. You're not. You are the one I chose to live and spend with for the whole eternity. You are the mother of my children. You deserve more for what you do for me, the students and our children."

Katrina felt her cheeks rise in heat. She pulled on his hand and gave his hand a light peck or two. She rested her cheek against their conjoined hands with a small smile, "I deserve you. Only you. You were and still are the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm grateful for you. Plus even if I didn't meet you at U.A., I would of seen you else where because you're best friends with the flashiest hero on Earth. And I would try to find a way to get you to notice me. Play a little damsel in distress at night, you swoop in and bam, there we go."

Katrina winked at her husband who shook his head. He slowly uncurled their hands from each other, "We are almost to our stop. Get ready."

The train announced, "Arriving at stop: Osaka Station. Please mind the-."

The two knew the drill of the announcements. Before they could drive, the two would take excursions around by train. Katrina moved out of the way for her husband to grab their suitcases from the over head. He handed hers with the pull handle up. The train stopped and opened their doors. Katrina headed out first with Shouta on her heels.


Shouta inserted their hotel key into the door and popped the door open. Katrina commented, "If this isn't very obvious now... A hotel with the word Universal in it. The said hotel is not far from USJ and can be walked to. I think we are spending our time at USJ, am I missing anything?"

Shouta moved his suitcase to the side, "Yes."

Katrina shut the door behind her, "Which is?"

Shouta lolled his head around to look at his wife, "Not telling you. Now stop guessing and get ready. We are leaving for dinner before we go to the main event."

Katrina pulled her suit case onto the suitcase holder and unzipped it, "Okay... Then what should I wear? Is this a nice dinner or a casual dinner?"

The dark haired man was already pulling out his clothing to change into. Shouta answered, "Comfortable casual."

Katrina peeked over her shoulder seeing her husband changing into dark wash jeans and a black 3/4 sleeve shirt. Shouta reminded, "It'll be a little chilly tonight as well."

Katrina pulled out a pair of black high rise jeans and a light blue blouse. Shouta checked his wallet for the tickets. Once confirmed they were sitting pretty in his wallet, he shoved his wallet in his back pocket. He turned around seeing his wife dressed and now rebraiding her hair. Shouta went around her and plucked her jacket from her suitcase, "I don't want you forgetting this."

Katrina stuck out her tongue while finishing up the tail. Katrina asked, "Alright so let's go?"

Shouta nodded taking his wife's hand leading her out of the hotel room. Katrina caught up to his pace and they leisurely walked towards their destination.


The two of them stood in front of a ramen shop. Katrina could feel her mouth water at the smells. Shouta lightly tugged on her hand, "Come on before it gets busy."

Katrina smiled wide, "Ooh pork miso ramen, here I come!"

A small smile graced his features as he guided her to a table in the restaurant. Before he sat down, he stood by the table, "Do you want your usual?"

Katrina smiled nodding, "Of course! It's hard to try something new when there is this godly ramen out there"

Shouta pointed his finger at his wife, "I could attest to that. I'll be right back."

Katrina tapped her fingers on the table taking in the sights. People were enjoying their meals and taking in the atmosphere. Her husband returned not even five minutes later to sit across from her. Katrina noticed her husband's hair was pulled into a half up-down hairstyle. A messy bun rested behind his head. Katrina piped up, "I wonder if the kids are behaving. I don't want them to cause trouble."

Shouta adjusted his sitting position, "This is a kid-free weekend. We don't have kids. so let's not think about them this weekend."

Katrina snorted, "It's hard when one is your exact image but okay okay I'll try not to think about them."

It didn't take long for the ramen bowls to appear in front of them. Katrina thanked what ramen shop god that has been looking out for her as she found a fork to use. Shouta commented, "You won't have time to think about them tonight."

Katrina looked up from her ramen bowl seeing a smirk on her husband's face. Katrina slurped up her noodles before warily adding into the conversation, "I don't know if what you said and your facial expression shows it'll be a nice heated night between me and you or it's something else."

Shouta didn't say anything but he kept eating. She could see the smugness on his face. Katrina lightly tapped the top of his foot, "You're evading so many questions I have."

Shouta placed his chopsticks down, "You'll find out tonight. Well part of it."

Katrina eyed her husband. She pointed her fork at him, "I'm keeping my eye on you."


Fog eased itself slowly into the air. Katrina turned to her husband, "You didn't."

Shouta smirked, "Maybe."

In the distance, screams were heard. Not from the guests, oh no. It's from the actors who hid behind the gates of USJ. Katrina bounced on her feet, "It's been so long since we last went!"

Katrina jumped onto her husband wrapping her arms around his neck. He lightly stumbled at her sudden weight added to his. He placed his hands on her back to steady her. The woman smiled excitedly, "You know a way to my heart. Horror Nights. The smell of smoke machines and the latex. Who cannot forget the savory smell of potatoes."

The countdown to open the gates started in the background. Shouta held his wife half arms length, "I hope I know a way to your heart. We've been together for 15 years."

Katrina laced her hand with his. Katrina could feel the coolness of his ring. Warmth built up inside her. The gates opened and the large crowd rushed in immediately getting scared by scareactors. As they were walking by, Katrina plucked a USJ Horror Night event map to see what exactly is here.


Katrina munched on a potato twister dusted with sour cream & chive seasoning. Katrina held out the stick to her husband, "Want a bite?"

Shouta leaned towards the potato on a stick and took a bite. The line moved forward and they flowed with it. Shouta purchased the express entry pass but it seemed everyone got the idea. Shouta commented about the potato twister, "The Korean BBQ flavor is better."

Katrina tossed the flavor around in her head thinking back the last time they tried KBQQ flavor. Katrina waved her hand side to side, "Eh, kind of. This reminds me of a fried baked potato. I do like both though..."

Shouta leaned in again taking a bigger bite. Katrina eyed her husband, "Hey! I thought you didn't like this one as much."

Shouta pointed to the entrance of the house. Katrina's mouth went 'O'. Katrina pinched the rest of the potato twister and pulled it off of the stick. She threw the stick away and tore the potato in half. She handed the half to her husband and plopped the other half in her mouth. By the time they reached the door to enter, the potato twister is no more.

Katrina looped her arm around her husband's. He could feel the excitement radiate off of her. The door person gestured for them to head in, "Alright next group."

Lucky for the couple, they were front and center. A masked person popped their head out of the hole. Katrina let out a light scream. She tightened her hold on her husband's arm. Shouta looked amused through the house. His wife let out a few screams here and there. One scareactor got her good as she almost leaped into her husband's arms shouting, "Shit, shit, shit!"

Once the two were out of the house, Katrina had a smile on her face while placing her hand ontop of her heart. It felt like a jack rabbit bouncing. Katrina pumped her fist, "Alright, good. Exercise the heart. Always good."

Shouta pulled her to the side to waiting for his wife to feel the rush go down. Shouta commented, "I don't understand how you love this event so much but you get so scared."

Katrina glanced up at her husband with a smirk, "Adrenaline rush. Also this is like a work out but with out straining my muscles."

Shouta rolled his eyes, "You know you can just train."

Katrina stood up straight. Her fingers grabbed the front of Shouta's jacket. She pulled him closer to her. They were a breath away from each other. Katrina lightly traced her husband's jawline before she rested her finger ontop of his lips. Katrina smirked, "I don't think Nezu would appreciate having us on his training grounds nor getting the footage of our training. I think the last couple times of training with you was a bit... Strenuous. And we nearly got caught. Just don't use your scarf against me. Easy as that."

Shouta leaned his face closer, "I cannot not use my scarf. It's my support item."

Katrina reached up on her tippy toes and gave his lips a peck. Katrina chuckled, "I think you developed a fetish with it on me. Now are you ready for the next house?"

Katrina held up their express entry tickets with a wiggle of her eyebrows. Shouta allowed his wife drag him to the next house. Shouta seen how stressed his wife was. She wouldn't tell him and if he brought it up she would shrug it off saying 'I'm a mother. Parents are always stressed.' He started to notice it around the time she accepted the position at U.A. The many times rubbing her shoulders due to a tense muscle. The many times of her doing everything even though he was already on the way to do it. He started booking and planning this trip after the third week into her position. It was also around the time the two were called in to rescue Eri so they were busy with that. This time frame was perfect to whisk her away from their responsibilities for a little bit. It was great due to the fact her birthday was on the Saturday he planned this vacation. Shouta would do anything to see her relax and rewind. Not have to worry about anything just herself. A soft smile graced his lips when his wife scrambled to get behind him, "Oh, god no!"

The scareactor was moving side to side to catch a glimpse of Katrina. Shouta smirked moving to go behind her and gave her a little push forward, "We can't stop the line, Kat."

Katrina screamed moving quickly around the scareactor that were close on her heels. Each of them were lucky the house was big enough for such movement. Shouta continued on knowing his wife probably rushed out of the house. The scareactors tried their hardest with him but he looked like he was taking a leisurely stroll in the house. By the time he met up with his wife she was bent over breathing hard. She was trying to catch her breath. Shouta teased, "I like this house."

Katrina turned her head to the side to give her husband a glare, "Well you can go into this one by yourself. I'm not going back in there. That one was good but too good for my heart."

Shouta rubbed his wife's back soothingly, "You know I won't go in a house without you."

Katrina took in a deep breath then slowly released it, "Good. Let's get a snack and drink before heading to another house."
