Who cooks: ... Well during the Game they just bought fast food so I have no clue. Maybe they just take turns being inexperienced cooks
Who does the laundry and other chores: Both
How many children do they have: I don't see them having kids either but if they do then no more than one
Who’s more dominate: Neku
Favorite nonsexual activity: Does art in general count? With Neku being an aspiring graffiti artist and Shiki and Eri teaming up on their clothes. The three of them all inspire each other!
Their favorite place to be together: Hachiko
Any traditions: Frequently (like once every other week or so?) they meet up with Beat and Rhyme at Hachiko and then they all go to Molco to play some Tin Pin Slammer. While Neku's better than Shiki at it, she's still surprisingly pretty skilled. (They also stop by Wild Kat to talk with Mr. H every once in a while.)
Their “song”: can I just say Deja Vu and Lullaby for You
What they do for each other on holidays: I can see them going Christmas caroling. But for each other, Neku makes a little song for her and Shiki makes him a plush. <3
Where did they go for their honeymoon: no clue
Where did they first meet: Hachiko
Any pets: Two cats! Shiki has had one since childhood that was the inspiration for Mr. Mew and Neku got a cat from a shelter not too long after the Game ended
What do they fight over: They trust each other a lot so nothing really. (They prefer to not bring up the events of W1D2)

Route 28 was as lonely as always. That was to be expected. It was a dangerous route and the Pokémon League Reception Gate would only let those qualified pass. Moderation there was strict and was of Kanto's finest unlike the other guards scattered about the region that were always half-asleep and could be easily bribed with lemonade or tea. Leaf didn't need to worry about any of that, though. She was clearly qualified as she had beaten the Pokémon League numerous times in the past and even played a role in saving all of Kanto from a villainous take over.
Still, as brave a girl as she was, she did have her worries. She adjusted her hat with one hand and fiddled with her Pokégear with the other while she sat down on a set of steps. It's not like she needed to worry about them being dirty, after all, they were seldom used. What she worried about was something of greater concern to her than getting some dirt on her skirt.
"That idiot! He's always being so reckless with himself and it's like he doesn't even care..." Red had been visiting Mt. Silver more frequently and his visits lasted more often. Leaf never even got a reason as to why aside from "training." That was just like him, she supposed. He was always one to just rush off and do what he wanted without saying many words-- if any.
A Ponyta galloped by with a dash. Its flames instantly reminded her of him in every way. They burned brightly the way his eyes did whenever he was about to do something he was passionate about. It reminded her how lucky they both thought they were when they first met each other all of those years ago. How bizarre yet great it was for them to find someone that was so alike to them in many ways in that same little town they called Pallet. While she clutched her Pokégear, she sighed. Today was finally supposed to be the day he came down from that mountain after he had called her the night prior. Red hadn't answered any of her own calls to him since and twice she considered marching right up that mountain to get him herself. Still, she waited.
Her patience paid off. A handful of minutes later, the figure of a certain spiky haired brunette dressed in red attire appeared in front of her.
Leaf stood up. She wanted to yell and scream and punch him and make it hurt. That idiot. She could see the goosebumps on his skin. He was at Mt. fucking Silver dressed like that! He just had to rush off into the mountains again without telling anyone and he didn't even bring that winter jacket she told him to wear the last time after he got down and--
All of her anger dispersed as soon as she heard his voice.
"Hey."
That's right. As much as she tried, she couldn't stay mad at him because she loved him. Of course, he still was a giant idiot, but he was the giant idiot that she loved. She loved how brave and determined he was and it showed through the fire in his eyes. That fire that inspired her to do so many things and that fire that kept the both of them going.
She leaped into his arms as silent tears rolled down her face and he welcomed her with a tender embrace. His skin was cold to the touch, but her body heat warmed him right up. Maybe, for just this once, she could be his fire.
