A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews last chapter! I promise not to let you down. xx A little gift for Tony18, whose comment in chapter 1 about wanting to see the honeymoon was actually my inspiration for continuing this as an anthology. This is for you!
The following chapter contains snippets of Tomadashi's Honeymoon. This would be an entire story on it's own if I didn't cut it; so I decided to leave in the fluffy, funny moments. They are in order, though. There's a part two to this in the future; despite the major cuts I did for this, there should still be so much more to look forward to.
Warning: While I don't actually touch any smut, there are mentions and suggestions of it. Nothing explicit, which I think warrants the 'T'. I actually think it's pretty tame. Just wanted y'all to know.

Part I: Luggage Wars
"Think you've packed enough for two weeks?" GoGo comments dryly as she watches her husband wrestle their bags out of the car.
"I think I might have left something in the apartment - I just have to make sure - Did you bring the First Aid Kit?" Tadashi asks, finally getting the sixth bag out of the trunk.
GoGo nods. "Blue luggage, underneath your SFIT varsity jacket," she points to a particularly lumpy bag.
"How about my neck pillow? The one with the red fluffy things?"
"In my purple backpack."
"Did you bring the waffle-maker?"
She looks at him, checks to see if he's joking. "The waffle-maker."
"Well, I don't know if they'll have-"
"No, Tadashi, I didn't bring the waffle-maker," she groans. "Now come on, we're going to miss our flight!"
"But my waffles!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Hamada, but you have at least twenty pounds of excess luggage."
"Twenty pounds?" she hisses, and turns to Tadashi. "See, didn't I tell you that we didn't need to bring every single damn thing-"
"But how could we go on our honeymoon without our favorite tent?"
"I swear to God, Tadashi-"
"Or our favorite set of frying pans?"
"You actually packed the frying pans?"
"And all of your shoujo manga-"
"Don't bring my manga into this-"
Suddenly, just like an angel, Hiro appears out of nowhere (although it was expected for him to be there; he had dropped the newly weds at the airport), crossing his arms. "Jeez, guys. Way to start your honeymoon. Let's all take a deep breath and relax." He turns to the only female in the group. "Okay, GoGo, since it's obvious you're the only one who has her head screwed on right when it comes to packing..."
"I object-"
"Quiet," Hiro frowns at his brother. "GoGo, please point to all the bags you're sure you don't need."
GoGo purses her lips and points at three out of the six assorted bags and luggages. "The white roller luggage, the red and white backpack, the huge green duffel bag that obviously has the tent and frying pans in it."
"But-"
"Tadashi, think of it this way." GoGo interrupts her husband, putting a finger over his lips. "Won't it be more fun to just sleep under the stars on a blanket? And I don't think I can spend a lot of time with you if I have all that manga to distract me... And I'm sure you don't want to spend all that time cooking when we could be having-"
Hiro coughs, his ears turning red. GoGo smirks. "When we could be having scuba diving sessions," she continues innocently. "Look. My point is, this honeymoon is about us. And I'll be damned if I'm going to be the one dragging around all of this. Okay?"
Tadashi lets out a huge sigh, and reaches out his arms, pulling her into a tight embrace. "I'm sorry," he whispers, and GoGo tries to fight back a smile. "I guess I was a bit... Anxious."
GoGo catches Hiro's eyes as her husband releases her, and her brother in law nods as he starts piling the luggages into a cart. "Do you think we'll be okay, now?" she asks the stewardess behind the counter, who nods at them.
"I think you'll be just fine."
"Have fun with your scuba-diving sessions, guys!" Hiro calls out as a way of farewell, smirking to himself when he sees the two of them turn bright red.

Part II: Checking In
GoGo's practically bouncing up and down in her seat as the cab rolls in front of the resort the couple will be staying in for the next two weeks. It's gorgeous, spacious, luxurious and expensive, and while a part of GoGo thinks that this is too ostentatious for her taste, another part knows she'll love it.
Hey, it's not every day that she gets a honeymoon.
"Why don't you go on ahead," Tadashi tells her, as they get out of the cab. "I still have to find a way to drag all of these bags to the lobby."
"Oh, what name did you use for the rooms?"
He smiles cheekily. "Your name. Don't worry."
She raises an eyebrow at him and shrugs, happily going on ahead of him. She reaches the front desk in practically record time, excited to get their honeymoon started. The front desk clerk, a young woman, smiles warmly at GoGo. "Hi! Welcome to the Spiaggia*; a place you can call home, and relax in style! I'm Adele, how can I help you?"
"Hey. Uhm, I have a reservation for two, for two weeks?"
"Ahh, you must be the honeymooners!" Adele replies excitedly. "What is your name, please?"
"Leiko Tanaka," GoGo replies, still not used to revealing her real name to complete strangers. Adele frowns after clicking a few keys, and then clicks around again. "Is there a problem?" GoGo asks, trying to sound nonchalant.
"Ah; it's probably nothing, but I..." Adele turns to call to another front desk clerk. "Dante! Can you come over here for a moment?"
A tall, ruggedly handsome young man traipses over, smiling. "Is there anything I can help you with, Adele?"
"Well, uhm... It appears I cannot find a reservation for Miss Tanaka. Is there a possibility that I might have made a mistake?"
GoGo feels a bit nervous as Dante bends over the computer, verifying her name. Luckily, it's at this moment when Tadashi comes over, bellhop and bags in tow. "What room are we in, GoGo?"
"I don't know yet, Tadashi..." she mutters, frowning nervously. "They said they can't find my name in the records. Are you sure it's in my name?"
Tadashi frowns, and looks at the two front desk clerks. "Are you sure there's nothing for Leiko Hamada?"
It suddenly sinks in, and she feels like a complete fool.
"I am such an idiot," she groans, and hides behind Tadashi, burrowing into his back.
"What's up with you?" he yelps, just as Adele and Dante look up, grinning.
"Ah - we do have a reservation for Mrs. Leiko Hamada," Adele says sweetly. "That was the problem, as I was searching for a Miss Leiko Tanaka. The two of you are in Suite 430; it faces the ocean and has a marvelous view of the sunrise."
Tadashi realizes what happened, and laughs, bringing GoGo around to his side. "Oh, GoGo."
"I forgot I was married, okay?" she blurts out, blushing furiously. "Jeez, it's not like you know what it's like to have your name changed!"

Part III: 'Scuba Diving'
The room is beautiful, and has a beautiful view of the ocean; just as promised. Ever the adrenaline junkie, GoGo gathers up various maps and brochures of the resort the minute she's finished unpacking. "We should definitely sign up for parasailing tomorrow; oh, and we can go waterfall trekking, too! It's just a two hour drive away, but who cares? And the underwater sanctuary. I didn't bring my underwater camera for no-"
He cuts her off with a kiss that electrifies her senses; all of her beloved brochures and maps fall straight to the floor. She responds immediately, and reaches up to tangle her fingers in his hair, kissing back in earnest. Tadashi leads her to the bed by pulling her closer towards him; by the time the back of his knees hit the bed, she's lost her jacket, and his hat and sunglasses are somewhere around the room.
GoGo let's out a very un-GoGo-like squeak as he falls backward on the bed, bringing her with him. They pause to catch their breath, she's lying on top of him, out of breath and flushed. "Well..." Tadashi murmurs, "Hiro did tell us to have fun scuba diving."
"We can sign up for one this afternoon," she breathes back. "Or, you know, we could just..."
"Yeah. Yeah, let's do that," he says, and brings her in for another intoxicating kiss.

Part IV: Talking with the Home Team
"Yes, Hiro, we signed up for 'actual scuba diving'," Tadashi sighs into the phone later that afternoon. He's on the phone with the rest of the gang while GoGo's at the front desk signing up for 'actual scuba diving'. Apparently, they're missed.
In between Hiro's loud laughter, he can hear Honey Lemon. "Actual scuba diving? What are you talking about?"
"Ask Hiro," Tadashi quips, not willing to go into any details. "Anyways, guys, it's beautiful here, wish you were here... Well, maybe not," he teases.
"Just enjoy it, Tadashi. Both of you never take vacations, so I'm guessing this is the last vacation for a while," Wasabi comments.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Tadashi sighs. He sees GoGo making her way towards him, and he smiles to himself. "The wife and I have lots of activities planned," he says, relishing the words 'wife and I'. So this is the high of marriage.
"I can just see your face right now," Hiro snickers. "Jeez, I'm never going to fall in love."
"I'm going to remember you said that," GoGo pipes up, joining her husband. "I'll remind you when I'm the Maid of Honor at your wedding."
"Since when did I say you could be the Maid of Honor... Assuming I ever have a wedding?"
"Since I became your sister-in-law," she cuts in smoothly.
"All right guys, enough with the chit-chat," Tadashi interrupts whatever retort Hiro has planned. "GoGo and I have some scuba-diving to get to."
"Scuba diving? Or actual scuba diving?" Fred asks.
In the end, it ends up being both.
(*)
I adore this so much. I just hope you don't mind the number of innuendos here xD I mean, they /are/ in a very serious relationship, married and on their honeymoon. So I mean besides actual scuba diving and etcetera, they should be doing the do, if you know what I mean.
I actually love playing around with this more mature Tomadashi; the fact that they're married and so comfortable around each other. Ack! I just can't.
So like I said; expect a part two to this! Just not like, right /now/, or in the next chapter, but in the near future.
* - according to my phone's dictionary, Spiaggia is Italian for the 'Sandy shore', and while they're not actually in Italy, I liked the name.
As to where they're having their honeymoon? Ahh, let your mind run wild. I won't name a specific place. Just think of somewhere warm and tropical.
See ya!
