It was closer to midnight by the time Sasuke made it back to the village. He had passed a small stand selling glass windchimes, making him a bit late. There were so many to choose from and he wanted to get one for the special light in his life. He had eventually decided on one that was clear, with purple, blue, pink, and green glass flowers laid on the outside. He had made sure to get it wrapped as well. He would have done it himself, but...it was a little difficult to wrap gifts one handed.

By the time he got to his home, he noticed the lights were still on. Surely she was not still waiting up for him? A small smirk graced his features. Well, it certainly wouldn’t be surprising if she was.

Unlocking the door and stepping inside, he was about to announce his arrival only to see an absolutely breathtaking moment before him.

There she was. His light. Waiting there patiently for him.

Quietly setting the gift down on the entryway table they had, he leaned down in front of her, cocking his head to the side. The gentle snore that came from her only confirmed his suspicions that she fell asleep. His heart warmed at the thought that she fell asleep waiting for him, but could not help but feel a little bad at causing her to.

Taking off his shoes, he carefully picked her up, intending to take her to their bedroom. But passing by the common area made his nose twitch. Backtracking a little, he saw the plates of food and immediately felt at peace. “What did I do to deserve you, (F/N).” He muttered, turning his head to place a gentle kiss to your forehead. You barely stirred, only to snuggle more into him.

Wrestling with the thought of whether to take you to the bedroom or to set you on the couch and cover you up, Sasuke decided with the latter, only in hopes that you would wake up so that you could eat.

Gently laying you down on the couch, he quickly fetched a pillow and a blanket to let you be more comfortable. Once he did, he went back out to fetch the present and set it on the coffee table, so that if and when you did eventually wake up, it’d be a welcome sight.

Seeing as that was all settled, he lit the candles that had snuffed themselves out and warmed up both of their meals. After all, even if he was being quiet, there was no telling when you’d wake up.

Sitting back down at the table, he began to eat the meal you had prepared for them, chicken katsu with curry sauce. It was a staple of yours, and had quickly become a favorite of his. It was always warm, filling, and reminded him of home with you.

He made sure to savor it, as he did not want to rush the perfect meal. And on his way to his third piece of chicken, his ears perked up at hearing you let out a mewl of a yawn.

You slowly blinked your (E/C) open, rubbing them a little before realizing you were sideways. “Wha?” You muttered only to fixate on the small box in front of you. A grin spread across your face and you reached out for it, slowly picking it up. Rolling onto your back, you stared at it with curiosity. Sasuke must have been home, an intruder wouldn’t leave a gift, much less make sure you’re as comfortable as you are right now.

Undoing the ribbon and taking off the lid, your eyes lit up as to what was inside. Picking it up by the string, you marveled at how beautiful the windchime was. This was certainly done by an artisan, not just from some trinket shop. Taking the wooden panel under it, you gently tapped it so that the glass cylinder that was in the middle hit the outer glass piece, bringing a delicate chime. “Beautiful.” You whispered, sitting up a little.

“I’m glad you like it.” Came a deep voice, but it didn’t surprise you.

“Why didn’t you wake me up right when you came home, Sasuke?” You asked, your head turning to look over the couch and leaned against it so you could look at him.

He shrugged a little, setting his chopsticks down and coming over to you. “You looked too peaceful.” He admitted, picking up your legs to lay across his as he sat down next to you.

That only made you grin and shake your head. “I’m your wife, you know you can wake me for anything, right?” You asked, finding his hand and rubbing your thumb across the back of it as you looked into his uncovered eye.

Again, he shrugged but a smile tugged at his lips. “I know I can, it’s just a matter of if I will. Which I won’t.” Sasuke replied back, his head now leaning against the couch. “Plus, it seemed like you had a busy day, you needed the rest.” His hand reached out to gently touch the peony in your hair. “I’m just sorry you went to all this hard work, only for me to show up late.”

You grinned and turned your head to the side, placing a soft kiss against the palm of his hand. “It’s fine, because you know why?”

“Why?” He asked, his eyes shining a bit at the small display of affection.

“Because you still came home.” You whispered, leaning forward to place a chaste kiss against his lips. Before you could pull back, his hand found its way to your cheek.

“You know you can’t leave me with a kiss like that and not expect more, (F/N).” Sasuke muttered, leaning back in for a more prolonged kiss, this time lasting considerably longer.

Pulling back to catch your breath a little, Sasuke chuckled a little. “You’re so easy to fluster.”

It made your face flush and purse your lips together. Two can play it that game. Taking off the blanket, you lifted up your kimono a bit so that you could straddle his lap, your (C/T) chest pressed up against his muscular one, your (E/C) staring down at him. You heard a small gulp and saw some color appearing on his cheeks. “So are you, my love.” You giggled and leaned down to kiss him once more. “Now, let’s finish eating, shall we? It’d be a shame to let it go to waste.” You said, getting off his lap and taking the wind chime in your hands. “Thank you for this as well, it’s lovely.”

Sasuke ran a hand over his hair once you were off his lap. Oh, how you loved to tease him. But that’s what made you fun. “You’re very welcome.” He answered back before standing up. “But yes, let’s eat.” He pulled out the chair for you to sit before sitting himself.

“Oh, I almost forgot.” You said, your eyes wide.

“What is it?” He asked, a clump of rice halfway to his mouth.
