Reviews pretty pls!
Thanerah was washing the dishes in the kitchen while Tagor was helping her sister to dry the washed plates and put them away. Hidan had to go meet his father after he had a call from him just after dinner.
Tagor asked his sister as he put the clean white plate away, "So, how's the marriage life?"
Thanerah turned off the washing basin and glanced at him as she dried her hands with the kitchen towel. She wondered why he was suddenly interested in her marriage life but maybe he was trying to start up with a conversation.
She answered him with a genuine smile, "It's really great. I've never felt so happy before."
"And is he happy?" Tagor asked as he was mentioning about Hidan.
Thanerah wasn't quite sure but she doesn't remember any time when he doesn't look unhappy at all whenever she's around him. So she may hope that he's really happy in the marriage.
"I…believe so."
Tagor stopped to give Thanerah an arched curious brow because of her tone of voice that held some doubt. "Having some doubts, sis?"
She leaned against the counter with a queasy feeling in the pit of her stomach, "A little bit."
"Why's that?" he asked as he put the drying towel on the counter and folded his arms on his chest as he continued to look at her curiously.
Thanerah hesitated for a moment as she was trying to get her brain into gear about her marriage with Hidan. She's absolutely happy with him, there's no doubt about that. But sometimes she had the urge to ask Hidan if he was happy with her.
Whenever he told her he was and he say that he loves her more than anything in the world, she believed him in an instant because the truth was clear in his eyes. But you may never know when a married husband can have second thoughts after he grows tired of being married.
Thanerah felt a small cringe in her heart as she had those thoughts going through her mind. Tagor saw her uneasy expression so he quickly said to her, "Thanerah, you know that I was only curious. I'm not saying that Hidan is unhappy with you. I can see that he really loves you."
She looked at him in the eyes, "Really?"
He firmly nodded without a doubt in his eyes, "Definitely." He let out a small laugh as he diverted his eyes from her and scratched the back of his neck nervously. "Damn, sometimes I'm jealous of what you both have. And I'm the bloody oldest."
She let out a small laugh and took a step closer to him so she could pat his chest, "Don't worry. I'm sure father is doing his best to find you your mate."
He sighed, "Yeah…Father is quite picky when it comes to match making." He stated as he realized it.
"And it is wise for him to be picky. Imagine if he bounded someone with another one who won't fit into each other; I doubt they'll survive with each other more than an hour."
He let out a small laugh as he nodded in agreement, "I can see your point of view, Tha."
She took a step back then offered him, "Want some tea?"
He shook his head, "Nah. But I'm in the mood for some cake."
Thanerah arched a curious brow as she crossed her arms, "And where are we going to find one, Tagor? I think the shops are closed at this hour."
"Who said that we have to go to a shop? There are coffee shops that close at 12."
"Like Starbucks?"
He suggested another, ", or Coffee bean."
"Do you know where it is? Last time I tried to search for Starbucks but I ended up getting lost so I had to call Hidan to rescue me."
He grinned at her widely, "I know where it is. It's not far from here."
"That's what Hidan told me when I was going to go get some coffee from Starbucks."
"Why didn't he go with you in the first place?"
"He had some errands to do with the soldiers here with Kobra."
Tagor pushed off from the counter and nodded towards the door, "Well? Let's go? I'm craving for some of that blueberry cheesecake." He said with such a wide grin on his face.
She smiled at him widely and walked out of the kitchen with him. Before either of them could reach the door, it was opened and Hidan entered with a blank expression. Thanerah first greeted him with affection in her eyes, "Hey love, what did he want?"
He lifted his face up to meet her eyes and Thanerah could see the love he had for her was clearly in those beautiful lavender eyes. He answered her with a simple shrug, "He was asking me about the preparation of the Anniversary. No big fucking deal, babe."
Tagor offered to him, "Hey, want to join us to Starbucks?"
Hidan arched a brow, "What? Now? I'm still fucking full from dinner. And don't you have a run with the pack?"
"That's later. I would like to drink some coffee and eat one of their delicious cakes before that." He said as he made the Starbuck's food a delicacy to him.
Hidan thought about it as he shifted his weight to his left leg and put his hands on his hips, "Well…I guess I could have a cup of coffee or two."
Tagor walked past him and said to them over his shoulder as he was getting impatient to get to his beloved Starbucks, "Come on!"
Hidan mouthed at his wife, "What the fuck is wrong with him?"
She shrugged her shoulders. She turned her attention down to Thunder who was licking his paws like a cat. She whistled softly to get his attention. He stopped licking his paw and turned his head to look at her. She asked him, "Want to come with us?"
Hidan flinched with a small grimace and he softly whispered to her, "Are you sure that that's a good fucking idea, Tha? I mean, he's still an Ukrah, despite that the entire race is destroyed but his."
Thunder growled at him *[I heard that![* He shouted mentally. Unfortunately only Thanerah heard that. But she told her husband, "He heard that, love."
Hidan softly scoffed as he softly glared at Thunder. "I don't really give a fuck. He's NOT coming, Tha."
Thanerah softly glared at him and started to protest, "Now Hi-!"
She was cut off when Thunder said to her through telepathy, *[It's okay, Thanerah. Just go. Besides, your lunatic husband is right. It's best that I stay here. And besides, I'm not in the mood to go out right now]*
She looked at him with an apologetic expression. She asked him again just to be certain as she felt some guilt in the pit of her stomach. "Are you sure, Thunder?"
He nodded and continued to lick his paws clean.
Thanerah and Hidan suddenly heard Tagor's booming voice from outside. "Hey! What's taking you guys so long!"
Thanerah groaned deeply in annoyance as she glared at the open door past Hidan's shoulder. She looked at his face and he nodded towards the door, "Come on." He softly grabbed her hand and guided her out of the apartment while Thanerah sent Thunder another apologetic look before she was out of the apartment.
"Come on, babe. Don't look so upset because you had to leave that fucking mutt behind." Hidan said to her as he was waiting for their orders at the waiting counter with Thanerah while the staff was making the orders.
They were in Starbucks and thankfully there weren't many people at this time. It must be around 10.20 PM or so. Thanerah still felt guilty for leaving Thunder behind and she was thinking of how she could make it up to him later on.
"I can't help it, Hidan."
He sighed softly as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder to bring her body pressed against his, ignoring the stares from the people around them; perhaps they were in awe or something. That thought nearly made Hidan to smirk but he held the urge since right now isn't the best time. Instead he reassured his wife, "Stop worrying so fucking much, Tha. That fucking mutt can take care of himself. Okay?"
"But Hidan…"
He groaned softly at the back of his throat then said to her to try to ease her mind, "Tell you what; we'll buy him some fucking steak or something to make it up to him. Will that work with you, babe?"
Thanerah looked at him in the eye and nodded with a small smile.
He gave her a small grin, "Good. Now stop frowning and worrying. This is the time to enjoy our lives without worrying for Ukrahs to eat our souls."
She had to admit that he was right. She shouldn't worry this much. She let out an exaggerating sigh as she glanced around the Starbucks café. She returned her gaze to him, "You're right. I must be thinking too much."
She felt a soft warm kiss on the side of her forehead after pushing away from of her long black hair from her face. Her smile widened as she felt her cheeks slightly on fire. She glanced at Tagor who was sitting on one of those very comfortable couches and she saw him talking or flirting with an attractive woman who was just sitting a table away to his right.
Hidan caught her looking at her brother with an amusing expression so he looked away. He let out a small laugh when he saw Tagor. "Tch, at least he won't bother us that much anymore…" he mumbled under his breath.
Thanerah arched a brow at him as she look up, "What do you mean by that?"
He looked down at her and answered, "Remember those fucking times when we argue with each other about you being my wife and being his sister? And I can't do a bloody thing like kissing you and such whenever he's around. Always pestering me to lay my hands off you and it always pisses me off!"
The customers nearby was looking at him surprisingly for his dirty mouth and they glanced at Thanerah with curious eyes. She nervously laughed at them, "Don't worry, he's always like that."
They either looked unconvinced or even more curious while observing Hidan.
He tapped his finger on the wooden counter as he was getting impatient. "Fuck, what's taking so long?" he grumbled as he glared at the staff that was fumbling with a few things and was working here and there fast.
Thanerah patted his hard chest to try to calm him down, "Calm down, love. They're working. Give them some credit, honey."
He groaned softly as he combed his silver locks back, "I'll give them a piece of my mind if they don't do it quicker." He growled as he was looking VERY impatient with a small anime vein popping on his forehead.
She sighed softly as she softly leaned her head on his chest. He went slightly tense but he soon relaxed as he looked down at her curiously. "Babe? Something wrong?"
She let out a small laugh as she looked up at him, "I'm fine, really. You don't need to fuss over me that much."
He smirked down at her, "What? I can't fucking help it. It's husband instincts." She giggled softly and finally noticed their order came. "Finally…" Hidan muttered under his breath as he took his take away of café mocha. She took her take away peppermint mocha Frappuccino and Tagor's Ice Coffee with Milk and his blueberry cheesecake.
The couple went to the table where Tagor was sitting and was still flirting with the woman until they came. Thanerah noticed the woman giving her brother her phone number by using the tissue then she stood up and walked away seductively with her hips as she glanced at Tagor over her shoulder with interest in her eyes.
Tagor was smirking like mad as he used the tissue which she gave as a small fan. Thanerah placed his drink and cake on the dark wooden coffee table then snapped her fingers in front of his face to get his attention. He finally snapped out of his thoughts and asked Thanerah, "W-What?"
"That's all I got? Was her ass really that hot?"
Both men looked at Thanerah surprisingly but they both had very different expressions after that. Tagor was looking at her with disgust and said "Ew!" But Hidan was the opposite; he was smirking widely as he let out a deep chuckle before sipping his drink as he was sitting on the opposite couch of Tagor.
Tagor said to her in a high pitch voice, "Tha, that's just disgusting! You're my sister! You shouldn't say things like that! And it's none of your business whether I was staring at her…you know…or not!"
Thanerah rolled her eyes to the ceiling as she sat down on the couch while sitting close to Hidan. He spread an arm so it was resting on the head of the couch. In response Thanerah leaned on his shoulder with a soft smile.
Tagor grumbled something under his breath then grinned widely when he looked at the woman's phone number in the tissue. "I can't wait to ask her out."
Hidan asked him, "Wait? Why didn't you ask her out when you had the fucking chance?"
"I did but she told me she had something important to do. She's a journalist and she had to finish some late work before it's published."
"Oooh a fucking journalist. That's gotta to be fucking fun." Said Hidan sarcastically and sipped some more of his drink.
Tagor glared at him, "Hey, don't get into my dating life! At least you're married!"
"Aren't you forbidden to date?"
"Yes but Father has made an exception for me to date…for the moment. He said that dating a few times will give me the experience since I barely had time years ago."
"But you still know that you can't take them into a serious relationship, you know?"
"I know that and that's why I have limitations of my own in the dating game. This is only to experience things until my father binds me with my mate. Until then, I got to practice."
Thanerah simply shrugged her shoulders, "Whatever you say, bro. But just be careful with this whole dating game, okay?"
He waved her off with a lazy hand, "You worry too much, sis! Lighten up!" He drank some of his drink then asked her, "Are you up for the run?"
Thanerah groaned deeply which made Tagor to arch a curious brow at her. Hidan was having a hard time not to grin like a crazy maniac for what they did back in the lab so he continued to drink so Tagor wouldn't see. She gave him an apologetic look, "Sorry, but I'm going to have to pass on this one."
"Why?" he asked with a dry tone as he softly glared at Hidan; already knowing the answer to Thanerah's soreness and excuse to run.
Thanerah softly glared at her husband from the corner of her eyes and replied, "Let's just say that Hidan had gone over the line with me. I'm afraid I'm going to be out for days."
"But you're a Jashinist. Surely you can endure the pain."
"Not like this, Tagor. I seriously can't run in this condition."
Tagor groaned then growled at Hidan, "You've planned this, didn't you, bastard?"
Hidan looked away innocently, "Maybe…"
Thanerah rolled her eyes to the ceiling and whacked him softly on his chest. Though he didn't feel it but he was smirking like a maniac. Tagor shook his head as he grumbled inaudibly then used the fork to shove some of the blueberry cheesecake and gladly put it in his mouth.
