I walked in from work and took off my heels, dropping my bag to the side. Akisame darted over and quickly swept me into his arms. I sighed at this and glared at him.
"I can walk," I said.
"But you're tired after a hard day at work," he said. "Let me take care of you."
"I'm not so tired since I'm taking the vitamins," I said. "Akisame, put me down!"
"Let me carry you," he said, gently. "I like to hold you. Would you really deny me this?"
I glared at him. Oh he was a sneaky bastard! His pale eyes gazed down at me, his one eyebrow lifted.
"Fine," I hissed, crossing my arms.
"You doubt my sincerity?" he asked.
"No," I sighed. "I just don't like that you carry me everywhere."
"Am I carrying you too much?" he asked.
"You carried me to the bathroom this morning, Akisame," I pointed out. He sighed and looked up, then gently set me on my feet.
"I apologize," he said. "I'm just afraid you'll overdo it."
"I love you," I said, "and I appreciate your concern, but I'm a grown woman, not a helpless child."
"You're right," he said. "I'll do better." I smiled and walked forward, going to see what Miu was making tonight.
"Yo, what are you doing on your feet?" Sakaki asked, quickly lifting me up so I was sitting on his forearm. I felt my eye twitch and glared at him.
"If I'm lifted off my feet one more time today," I snarled, "someone is going to die." Sakaki stared at me wide-eyed then quickly put me down.
"S-sorry," he said. "I-I…uh….I'll just…go…"
He quickly ran into the other room, the sound of Akisame's chuckles following him. I turned my glare on my lover. He coughed and smiled nervously.
"Uhm…I think I may have work to do," he said.
"What's with this dark aura-…uhm…." Kensei stood in the doorway, staring at me in awe. "Uhm…well, she's certainly carrying your child, Akisame."
"Indeed," Akisame said. "And I couldn't think of a more suited woman to do it."
