“ Your bean, my melon. “ As if this even made sense ; he just didn’t want to give the joke up. Yilang made a look of mock disgust. “ No one was asking about your kinks, god, woman. “ Eyes rolling, his gaze quickly shifted away from her as he finds himself involuntarily laughing at her complacency. “ Hah… Right. At least those bimbos were normal. “ He could’ve added on with insults  - called her ugly or something, but he didn’t because she was right. He had her now and that is all that matters, even if she looked like a hag he’d still come home. “ Keep dreaming, Nori. I’m not ready to tie myself down to an abusive wife. ” But someday you will, Yilang, someday.

What Yilang was feeling was normal? but Nori couldn’t comfort him until he came clean (as if he would). “At least you’re claiming them so -- I’ll let it slide.” Nori chuckles. “So? Since when did someone have to ask for me to spill?” She rolls her eyes. “Yeah, normal for bimbos. I can’t believe you just slept around.” Actually, she could but she didn’t like to think about it. What did those women see? Did they see something she hadn’t? It bothered her immensely. Was he gentle with those women? He didn’t have to be drunk to sleep with them. “And, I’m not ready to tie myself down to a grown man who still sports a bowl cut.” Yes, she was.

“Am not.” Are too. Nori was so glad that he hadn’t rejected her, hadn’t pushed her away. She needed him but coming out and just saying it just wasn’t her thing. Actions would always speak louder than words. They could say I HATE YOU all day but in the end it fell on deaf ears. There was no hate here, never had been. Perhaps - Nori had always loved Yilang. That cute boy who had fawned over her while she had been pregnant the first time. What happened to that boy? What happened to her? What happened to them. Nori felt tears burn behind her eyes.

However, that gentle unconscious touch to move her hair seemed to soothe her. “Mint icecream?” Keep dreaming, Noriko. “But, okay, that sounds good.” She pauses for a moment before stubbornly mumbling a low; “Thank you.” Pigs must be flying. Nori’s grey eyes find Yilang’s face, she raises a hand to also brush his hair from his face. She wanted to see his stupidly good looking face. Who gave him permission to be good looking? She hadn’t. “Yilang, can I have a kiss?” I’m lonely.

It is as though the concept of having his own family just keeps going over his head. The old him would’ve been elated. It would’ve been a fantasy come true – but now? Now he finds himself questioning if he even deserves to be apart of all this hence his reluctant to step up and handle the role of a proper father. Hah – A father huh? Someone like him? Noriko has had the experience of a loving mother but Yilang on the other hand? He’s only ever been a scumbag. He couldn’t possibly be a good father.

“ You mean you get off from abusing me. I think your ‘ little bean ‘ is proof of it. “ The way drunk abuse eventually evolves into sex by her initiative, and repetitively so ( though let’s face it, they both get off on it ). He gives her a side glance. “ There would’ve been if you weren’t such a massive cockblock. “ Her calls and demands always came at the right wrong times, and keeping her company took up most of his free time when not with proper clients. She made it impossible for him to find new flings, though there were other reasons to him not actually looking as well. 

If Yilang were to voice his concerns then Nori would tell him he didn’t have to be great at it. It was a live and learn type thing -- but, she wouldn’t be able to tell him that him just being there was enough for her. She was having his child(ren) and that’s all that mattered to her. She wished she could come clean but that was just too much for her. 

“Our little bean.” She corrects him. “But, I guess I do get off on abusing you. It really turns me on.” At least she could admit it. She then returns his side glance. “I am glad that I can be such a massive cockblock. You don’t need to be fooling around with those bimbos.” she huffs, closing her eyes in annoyance. “Especially when you have someone as beautiful as me to come home to.” Noriko was insecure just like any other woman - maybe, a little more so considering that she didn’t always treat Yilang like he should be treated. “I might as well be your wife.”

“Oh, shut up. I can’t help that, okay?” Noriko liked being pregnant, she liked the feeling of the child but she didn’t like the side effects of being pregnant. Things she loved to eat and snack on were now making her nauseous. It was torture. Noriko was pleased as his arm was stretched out and he motioned for her to move in. She gives a small victory smile. “Then don’t make me cry.” She wiggles in, snuggling her body into his and tangling her legs between his.

The whole subject had been hard to swallow and he’s still trying to piece together the massive facts that SHEDEMON was carrying HIS child, but there’s one thing he couldn’t deny. He couldn’t deny that Nori would make a wonderful mother. She already looked the part, and damn him that he actually found a pregnant woman attractive. If anything she looked better now than she had in years. 

“ I don’t see you being nicer to me. “ The somewhat insignificant father of their child. First, she takes his blankets, now she wants him to freeze to death in his own bed. He sighs again at the implied accusation. “ Those were from old cases - … I don’t see them anymore. “ He’s muttering like it matters that he clarifies himself to her. Eventually, he does put his stubbornness aside, rolling on his side with his head on his hand, narrowing his eyes at the small gap between them,

“ I don’t want to catch your germs. You shouldn’t even be sleeping in a cold room if you were sick. “

It had been hard to swallow in the beginning but the more Noriko thought about it -- the sooner she realized that she wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to be the father of her child. Wasn’t it strange? They seemed to hate each other but that certainly wasn’t the case. She was looking forward to meeting her second ( cough, and third ) child. Even if Yilang did decide to leave her one day -- she’d still have the child, a piece of him. She was happy and that alone could make a woman more beautiful. 

“Why should I? I think you get off on me abusing you.” She laughs. Was she wrong? Maybe, but there was also the possibility that she wasn’t. Her gray eyes find his face - trying to see if he was lying. “Any new ones?”

She huffs at the stubbornness that just wouldn’t disappear. Noriko kicks her legs and frees herself from her blanket cocoon, the movement caused her loose bun to fall. “I just want cuddles. Plus, it was pregnancy sickies not sick-sickies.” She closes the space between them with a sniffle. “If you don’t cuddle me then I’m sure I’ll cry. Do you want a pregnant woman to sob?”

“I’ll cry. I swear it.”

Yilang suddenly pauses. —- Yeah, no. Having this woman as his wife would be a nightmare. Like she wasn’t demanding and complacent enough as she is. He decides not to retort to that comment in particular. “ I think you being absent is the least of the kids’ problems. “ He sighs and settles into the bed, having given up with the blanket. Physically fighting a pregnant woman for blankets seemed unethical. “ That has nothing to do with – It was a proper business meeting, god, I sell information not sex! “ It’s like she’s trying to pin him for cheating – on a relationship he’s not even in.

cough, now is not the time to be pointing fingers, cough. 

As if she was going to let him marry someone other than her. Ha! Nay, nay, he better recognize. If he thought she was a monster now - just try bringing home another woman. That would go over as well as...anything else he had tried to get away from her. “You’re being awfully mean to the mother of your child. You should be nicer to me.” She was glad to see that he had given up on the blanket -- there was no way he was getting it, anyway.

“Hm! I doubt it. I’ve went through your phone before.” She shakes her head as if she’s disappointed in him. “I have the air set low and it should be kicking in soon.” Meaning, she had probably planned this from the very beginning. Noriko wiggles closer as Yilang has finally laid himself down. “Entertaining me pays you in a different way.” Yeah, with problems he doesn’t want or need.

-- anyways, “Cuddle me. I was sick all day, you know.”

“ Sure. ” For someone who had been asleep she reacted pretty damn quickly. As he continued, he had no choice but to eventually stop when he noticed how the blanket was being pulled to her side as well. Great. “ Too much work – crawling over a mountain. “ Was he calling her fat? May as well be. He lets go and sits back on what’s now his side of the bed. 

“Might as well be.” She pokes her head from under the blanket to look at him. “And, for your information -- I was sick this morning and couldn’t make it to work.” Again, she throws it at him as if it were his fault. “Female clients? Or, male clients? I guess it doesn’t really matter since I’m sure you swing both ways.” Being pregnant sucked -- she felt like shit ( emotionally, too ).

“You’re not getting any of the blankets. I refuse to give someone like you any of the blankets.” They weren’t even her blankets but she had taken them hostage. “Your job is to entertain me not mess around with clients all day.” Yeah, right.

gags in the background

It wasn’t like he wanted to pick fights and throw bitch fits all the time. It was simply his innate response to someone who doesn’t understand the concept of personal space and respect. But Yilang didn’t want to argue today least his stress patch start spreading. Could sworn it’s been expanding its territory lately. He just wanted to rest even if it meant putting up with her next to him – which wasn’t all that of a rare occurrence to be honest.

“What took you so long to get home?” She turns her head to face his direction. “I was bored, you know? You’re suppose to be home to entertain me, Yilang.” She was just being childish, you know, the norm. “You had better not be out fucking around.” She means, with other women but she’d leave it up to him as to what he took it as.

slithers back out. 

like for a starter??
