Warnings: small mention of a rough childhood
"We're crazy for doing this."
"Ko, you realize we just spent a lot of money and barely have anything we need for this place, right?" You said as you turned to your husband with a box in your hands.
He turned to you with bright golden eyes and smirked. "So? That just means we'll have to go yard sailing! I've always wanted to go!"
You sighed and shook your head. "Unbelievable. First we decide on having a wedding, which we are still reaping the costs of, and now we buy a house with just barely enough for a down payment." Kotarou only laughed.
He set down the box he was holding and unlocked the door. When he turned, a twinkle was in his eyes.
He took your box and sat it on top of his, and in one fell swoop, he was holding you bridal style as you both entered the house.
"Kotarou! What are you doing?" Bokuto laughed and swung around with you. "I remember a American tradition that you like and thought we could do it."
You looked into his eyes and smiled brightly. "I didn't think you remembered. I mentioned it back when we first met in our second year." He shrugged his shoulders and sat you down.
You cupped his cheeks and laughed slightly. "Your a big dork, you know that?" Your husband only shrugged with a smile. "And? That just adds to my charm!"
It made your heart swell being with him like this. Your eyes softened and you leaned in to kiss him.
Kotarou met you half way and placed his lips on yours.
The kiss was sweet and familiar as you both stood beneath the stairs of your knew home. A home that you both knew you weren't ready for, but wanted because you only lived once.
Besides, the realtor told you, you guys would never be able to afford it.
When you pulled away, you were grinning like an idiot. Bokuto still had his eyes closed and was grinning widely.
"Alright lover boy. Let's get those boxes in before the rain sets in, don't want our clothes to get soaked." He opened his eyes and - were they always that love filled? You couldn't tell.
Because whenever he looked at you, it was always with fondness and love. Something you never expected you would receive after a rough childhood.
When the rain set in, you both were sitting in some lawn chairs in the living room watching a movie.
Many boxes laid around the two of you, waiting to be opened, the contents waiting to make many memories between the two of you.
Bokuto turned to you and wrapped his arm around your shoulders.
You turned to him with curiosity. He leaned forward, much like you had earlier, and put his forehead against yours.
You gently pushed back playfully and smiled. Kotarou grinned and pushed back before brushing some baby hairs away from your face. "If I could do everything again, I would."
You shook your head. "I wouldn't."
Kotarou pulled back abruptly and had his lips pouted. "But why? Did I do something?" His self proclaimed 'emo mode' had been turned on and been directed at you.
You huffed and pulled him back. "No you silly. It's because I want to stay with you in the now, not the past. Because being here with you is so important to me that I could never think about anything else. And in the past there was a time I didn't know you yet. I love you, and never want to go through life without you my dear. You're it for me."
A giant blush crossed over his cheeks and tipped his ears. He looked away and sniffled. When he looked back, small tears were in his eyes as he pulled you in for another kiss.
You were able to taste the strawberries he had eaten earlier after you had told him to wait for dinner. You were able to taste the love he released from his body only for you.
He pulled back and put his forehead back on yours. "I love you, so so much. I'll still love you when I'm all gross and wrinkly too!" You laughed and flicked his nose.
He smiled and kissed you all over your face, causing you both to fall out of your chairs. Your laughter echoed across the house as you lay in his arms uncomfortably.
"And for the record dear, you won't be gross. Maybe wrinkly, but never gross."
He whined loudly. "Babe! Your so mean to me! You wound my heart!"
You shook your head and flicked his nose again. "Stop whining you big baby. I was only kidding."
