#56. Red String of Destiny

Thanks to ili777, Secluded Sapphire, trish1573 and Loveinthebattlefield for reviewing the previous chapter!

A/N: All of you must have thought I was dead. Well, for the most part, yes, I'm literally almost there. With the business, work and everything, it's taking every single ounce of my energy to put that strong front up. Enough about me, you can read about my rantings on tumblr.

Warnings: Nil. Just kinda didn't want to do the usual red string of fate kind of story and this popped out.

Usagi's fingers reached into the washing machine, picking up the last few pieces of laundry. A soft thud landed on the floor and she turned, noticing the single black sock that has escaped her mountain of clothes. Grumbling softly to herself, she left the room, intending to get that wretched sock later after she had hung up the rest to dry. Closing the door, she picked up and examined the sock that was left behind.

"A hole, eh?"

…..

The keys turned in the lock and Mamoru slipped out of his shoes, sighing deeply. It had been a long day and it was his turn to do the laundry this week. Twisting his head till he heard that satisfying crack in his neck, he turned the knob to the laundry room, only to see his chore already done.

"Happy?"

His wife's voice sounded behind him and Mamoru smiled, turning to face her.

"Yea. Best wife award goes to you."

"Like you would ever tell anyone else that"

"Well, that depends on what treatment I'm getting, doesn't it? If it was in bed…."

Mamoru's laughing turned into yelps of pain as Usagi started stabbing his forearm with what she had – A needle.

"That's dangerous! Why are you even holding a needle?"

"I'm sewing the hole in your sock, dumb husband." The particular black sock was shoved into his face, with the bright red thread patching up the hole where it was before. "See?"

"…I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad or if I should even ask my next question?"

"You mean, why red?"

A slightly sheepish smile flew across his face.

"Because Mina told me that strings of destiny are always red. So wherever you go, we're always bound together by the red string!"

Mamoru turned sharply, unable to contain his excitement. After two years, how can she still be this cute! Taking a deep breath, he whirled around and swept her off her feet, making for the bedroom.

"You're not going to be able to sleep, and it's all your own fault."

A/N: For those who put me on story alert/favourites, I thank you too, but please review! For requests, please ask them in tumblr (universalmoon). You can ask me anything! It doesn't have to be sailormoon related either!

Give me some love! Virtual Red threads to those who read and review, thank you!
