"Shiiiiihna!" Zelos exclaimed, flopping next to the (extremely annoyed) raven-haired ninja on their king-sized canopy bed.

"Was that necessary?" Shihna grumbled, looking up from the book that she was reading.

"Mm, what are you reading?" he asked, ignoring her question. He craned his neck to see the title of the book.

"N-Nothing!" She turned away from him.

"Lemme see," he demanded, reaching for the book.

"No way!" She tried to hold the book away from him, but he snatched it out of her hand.

"Eeeeh? Shihna likes reading cheesy romance novels?" he exclaimed.

"I-I just thought it would be interesting! I don't like reading this kind of stuff. I was just in the library and it was-"

"Maybe Shihna wishes that our relationship was like this book?" he teased, nudging her playfully.

"N-N-No!"

"Oh well," he sighed. He placed the book on the table. "So, uhm...is there anything that you want to give to me today?" he asked.

"Hmm? Why are you asking me that?" Shihna asked.

"Well because today...it's..."

"Today is?..."

"Valentine's Day, hunny! Don't tell me you forgot!" he whined.

"Oh, it's Valentine's Day today?"

"You did forget!" he cried. "I can't believe you!"

"I'm just kidding," she said. "I got something for you." She opened a drawer in the table next to the bed, and pulled out a box. "Here."

"I wonder what it is," he purred. He opened the box slowly. "It's...a pocket watch?"

"Yeah...I uhmm...our names are carved into the cover," Shihna mumbled.

"Uh huh...I already have a pocket watch though, darling."

"I-It's because whenever you check the time you can be reminded that I'm always with you no matter what," she said quickly.

"Eh?"

"S-Sorry. I guess that was a stupid idea. I'll get you something else next time..."

"No! Not at all!" he exclaimed. "I'm sorry! I had no idea you put so much thought into that." He hugged her tightly. "I love you sooooo much."

"I don't know why I love you at all," she grumbled.

"It's because you think I'm irresistably sexy," he said.

"Pfft. As if."

"Well, you married me, didn't you?" he teased.

"Sh-shut up."

"See? I'm right."

"J-just shut up, you idiot."

"Okay..." he murmured, playing with her hair. "I'll always love you, you know that?"

"...I know."

"And I'll always be with you."

"Always?"

"Until the end of time."

SakuMeiMei Says: Sorry for the late update! DX My laptop cord DIED. It went up in smoke and refused to function so I had to get it fixed. (Yes, there was smoke. XD;; )

Shihna's so sweet. Hehehehe. It makes me want to give her a big hug. (So I'll hug myself, I suppose.)

I'll be updating more next week! :3
