The sun was just beginning to rise when you found yourself hugging Kunikuzushi from behind in the kitchen. You sighed, enjoying the warmth of his body and the soft aroma of your lunch he was preparing. Your arms wrapped around his waist as you leaned into him, letting out a light moan of annoyance. You didn't want to go to work, you wanted to stay with your husband.

"Denarius, you're going to be late." Kunikuzushi told you with his soft but firm voice. You could feel the slight tension in his muscles as he continued cooking, trying not to be distracted by your embrace.

"But I don't want to go.." you murmured against his shoulder, holding him a little tighter.

"Go to work." He repeated, this time more firmly. His words were clear, but there was a touch of tenderness in his tone. With a hurt puppy look on his face, you finally broke away from him, grabbed your work briefcase, and headed for the door.

During the day, work was a distraction, but you couldn't stop thinking about Kunikuzushi. Finally, when the clock struck 10:20 pm, you left the office and headed home. You were exhausted, but the thought of seeing your husband again filled you with energy.

When you got home, Kunikuzushi was waiting for you at the door. His eyes lit up when he saw you, and in an instant, he hugged you tightly, hiding his face in your neck.

"I missed you...silly." he murmured against your skin. His words were a balm for your tiredness.

In one smooth motion, you picked him up by his thighs, making him wrap his legs around your waist. He let himself go, clinging to you with a need he rarely showed. Now he was the one being clingy, and it made you smile.
