No matter how affluent a person may be, they could never hope to make airplane food taste good.
Even Togami Byakuya himself was powerless to such things. The air conditioning left him feeling pleasant, the weather conditions were as perfect for flight as they could possibly be, and there was just enough space for him to lay down and go to sleep if need be. Thankfully he would not need it any longer. The flight from France to Japan was never really an easy one, but it was one Togami could handle. He was certain he would be there at the time he promised Celestia, right on the dot if he was lucky enough.
He was not.
One could imagine how livid this made him.
Byakuya was eager to get home. He had missed his girlfriend, his cat, even Celes’ cat Cheri. He missed his staff and his bed and his shower and decent food. Even the fact that he had landed did little to sour his mood initially; he was still later than he thought he would be, and that meant he would have to apologize to Celes.
On the plus side, the weather remained nice. The familiar smells of Nippon were a joy to his nose. With haste Togami took his bags and made haste to the waiting area, happy but not surprised when he discovered that the weather and smells paled in comparison to seeing Celestia again for the first time in months.
Byakuya stopped short, released his bag, and offered her a little smile.
Celestia's features softened, returning a warm, genuine smile of her own, and approached Byakuya carefully. Her body felt lighter than air now, relieved that her dear was on the ground, safe, alive, here. Seeing as they were in public with prying eyes and paparazzi surely abound, she politely took his hand.
"I've been without you for months on end, surely an additional ten minutes wouldn't be too untimely. Why wouldn't I wait?"
Celestia noticed several things about her husband-to-be, the most obvious being tired, jet-lagged eyes. He would without a doubt be too tired for any lovemaking as soon as they arrived home, so she would make due by quaffing her lust to let it rise again once he was well enough. She released his hand, gesturing toward baggage claim.
"We should certainly make haste. I found Willow attempting to sleep in your shoes again this morning."
