also, for some reason, he couldn't stop smiling so brightly for the next few days. even customers are saying they saw a bright ray of sunshine everytime they walk pass the sakamoto's.

surely, it is not because of his smile?

either way, expect him to be even more attentive and affectionate towards you afterwards, too. if you asked him about why he's spending more time with you, the only answer you'll get out of him is, "so what? is your husband not allowed to spend more time with his wife?"

even shin didn't know he could say something like that.

nagumo yoichi . is thrilled. he's oh so thrilled that he can't help but grin eye to eye, leaning over to your shoulder while repeatedly asking you to say it one more time. if you did, he feels very amused that he could explode right here right now into a confetti. if you don't, well, that's fine. he can always ask.

and by always, he always ask.

it's been a few days since that happened, and nagumo hasn't stopped pestering you into saying the word 'husband' one more time. while you were cooking, watching tv together, laying down on the bed — he would ask you to repeat it. and you did.

"call me that again, won't you? i promise i'll leave you right after." he leaned closer to your shoulder, his eyes looking up at you in puppy eyes. you sighed, setting down the book you were reading and finally caved in. "what is it that you want, my dear husband?"

"say that again."

"my dear.. husband?"

"hmm, again."

"...husband."

"again." before you realize it, this man is already grinning eye to eye as if he just saw a treasure right infront of him. his eyes are twinkling like little kids being given candies. it's cute, to say the least. just like shin, he also obviously bragged about it to his.. unfortunate victims.

by that i mean, shishiba and osaragi.

shishiba . is.. unsure on how to take the nickname. he thought that maybe it slipped, but then you look up at him with that glint in your eyes that tells him you're up to something and he realized it was all intentional, he didn't freaked out at all. there's a faint smile on his lips, though.

after that event, shishiba is acting a little more affectionate towards you. tidying up the bed even more before you sleep, standing a little closer than usual — which is, almost impossible considering he's always close to you. even if it doesn't look like it, he's very amused.

he isn't exactly great at showing affection through words, given his background and line of work that doesn't really allow him to be romantic with anyone. but, he's fairly great at making you feel safe and loved.

one day before 'work', shishiba looked at you and held your hand in his, gently squeezing it.

"you should call me that more often, you know?"

heisuke . is frozen at first, but then started to jump up and down. after he heard the nickname, he somehow got a rush of something that made him extremely happy. he's leaning in your face, asking you to repeat what you just said. and when you did, he's calling for piisuke to brag about what just happened.

the day after that, heisuke visited the sakamoto's with the brightest smile humanity has ever seen. it's so bright that shin and lu has to restock on those sunglasses quickly before they and the civillians become blind. "hey! did you know?! name just called me her husband yesterday!"

he's bragging, smiling, grinning, doing jumping jacks, handstand, whatever you name it. but, he is cute and endearing in his own way. the fact that he's doing all he can to recreate the scene from the day before was adorable. he even tried mimicking your voice, which made lu laughed her ass off.

either way, if you ever call him that again, expect him to throw a whole party over it. that was an exaggeration, of course. but still.
