Nanami whoās got access to your phoneāwho reaches for it on your nightstand after heās worn you out, after heās assured you that youāll make the best wife, the best mother to his children, all while making sure it takes.
He stretches over you, whoās all curled up in the middle of the bed, heavy pants leaving you and slowing into softer breaths.
Nanami smiles softly down at you before grabbing his glasses and unfolding them, tucking them up the bridge of his nose.
Your phone unlocks with a soft clickāheād memorized your passcode on your first date.
He was that certain about you.
Itās just⦠youāre not quite in the right place to know about that yet. Still a little skittish, but he can work with that. He will. Heāll work it out of you in the years to come.
For now, he squints down at your phone, searching forā
A curse almost slips out of him.
Nanami, whole body rigid as stone, smoothly covers up your phone with his large hand. His eyes find you still curled up in a sated ball, eyes peeled open just barely.
Your eyes fall closed again, and a breath escapes him.
He smiles. āOf course. Iāll be right back.ā
For good measure, he layers a blanket over you, brushing the hairs back from your lips and kissing your forehead.
Nude, he steps out of the bedroom and navigates to the kitchen while searching through your phone. He finds the app that tracks your cycle while heās filling a cup with water, and clicks to todayās status.
Fertile window, it reads. Peak ovulation date.
Nanami hums pleasantly. Perfectly timed, just as heād prepared.
He shuffles back to your room with a glow in his chest. He lowers himself to a seat at your side, first plugging in your phone on your nightstand, then carefully, gently, he whispers you awake and guides you up just enough that he can hold the cup to your lips.
You grasp onto his wrist with one hand and prop yourself up on the other elbow, drinking greedily from his hands.
Nanami canāt help the stutter in his breath. Look, he wants to say, look at how well Iāll provide for you.
Stay with him, and youād want for nothing.
He swipes a spare droplet off your lower lip when you finish, and your eyes trail back up to him. A pretty flush blooms under your cheeks, probably just from him watching you. Shy little wife.
āCanāt believe youāre not all worn out,ā you mumble, lowering yourself back down. You tear your eyes from his.
āJust⦠happy, is all,ā he replies. He tucks you back in, then he bustles around the room to ready it for bedtime, herding both your clothes into your laundry bin, turning off your lights, making sure your door is locked.
Making himself into every bit the domestic husband youāll soon realize you need.
āYou didnāt have to do all that,ā you whisper when he finally slides into the sheets next to you. Heād worry you actually meant it, but he can feel your smile against his shoulder as he tugs you in close.
āJust let me,ā he murmurs in response. āI want to make things easy for you.ā
One day, youāll realize that being with him is as easy as breathingābecause he makes it that way.
