Little patters of rain could be heard from the outside as you slightly opened your tired eyes, lazily closing them again once you saw the rather cloudy sky.

You tossed yourself in the covers further, finding a comfortable position to continue sleeping in when your hand touched something that was definitely not there last night. Your mind raced with millions of different thoughts, each one making you more excited than the last one.

'Could it be? '

You felt something make it's way to your waist making your face flush with the thought of your busy husband sleeping right next to you.

You tried to contain your excitement as you slowly and carefully looked at his sleeping form, his chest rising and falling with every slow breath he takes.

Some of his now messy hair was draped onto his handsome face, quite a sight you rarely ever get to see. A hand was wrapped on your waist, seemingly pulling you closer to him as you tried your best to stay still.

It wouldn't do him good if you just woke him up seeing as he probably got home around dawn already.

Looking back outside, the rain had now fallen heavier than before, making the temperature perfect for cuddling.

You thought so at least.

He had been so busy lately and he rarely even gets home on time, much less wake you up every early morning just to tell you he's going back to work again.

Of course, that took a toll on you partially, but you never say that out loud. Naoto might as well knew though, as he always have you quick kisses on the cheek if ever you were still asleep when he had to go.

You, being his ever loyal wife had to put up with it, as expected. He's a policeman and that meant less time for family. You had always known that.

You felt him mumble a few things that were barely audible, you taking the chance to lightly caress his hand with slow strokes as you let your mind wander.

It had gotten a bit cold causing you to unconsciously snuggle against him, his warmth radiating, making the experience a bit more nicer.

You looked up at him once again, marveling at how peaceful he looked. He must've had a rough day yesterday. You placed a chaste kiss on his forehead as you decided to finally get up and get ready for when he goes back to work.

You sighed as you slowly slid out of his hold, making sure to be gentle so as not to wake him up.

As soon as your feet made contact with the carpet, you yelped at the feeling of being pulled back right beside him as he buried his face on the crook of your neck. Your face flushed though no one noticed.

"Mmm... Five more minutes." he groggily whispered, sending shivers up your spine although it was pretty warm under the covers with him.

You let out a smile as you sighed, letting him do what he wants.

"You sure? You'll be late for work." you teased.

You didn't expect him to react and so you were caught off-guard when he looked at you straight in the eyes.

"...It's my day-off today." he stated , a bit of mischievousness dripping from his tone.

You hummed in response.

"Well that's a miracle."

A couple of minutes passed by with him hugging you from the side as you laid down beside him, not saying anything.

"...Why are you so quiet?" he asked, not really used to you being silent all the time.

Although he knows why.

You looked up at him with an unreadable gaze that made him slightly nervous.

"It's just... I don't know, maybe I got used to you not being here all the time."

The sentence made him sigh as he tightened his hold on you, wanting you to feel just how special you are to him. He expected the answer, although the carefree tone was much less unexpected.

"I'm really sorry about that, love." he unconsciously stated, making you look at him.

He noticed what he had said as the tip of his ears turned red, him looking away due to embarrassment.

You faced him, caressing his face before placing a kiss on his forehead once again.

"It's fine. I understand. No need to apologize for something like that you know." you stated as a matter of fact.

The awkward atmosphere disappeared, being replaced by a warm and comfortable one.

He rubbed lazy circles on your belly, you containing your giggle as he smiled at your behavior. The feeling of his fingers tracing on your bare skin grew a bit intense though, for you at least, or maybe it was just because you got a bit... frustrated lately?

And to try and divert your attention away from certain things that shouldn't be mentioned, you decided to ask him some questions.

"So... How mmm... How was yesterday?" you asked, not noticing a pair of bluish-gray eyes fixated on your features.

He knew how you felt, although it took him a while to figure out.

He let the question float in the air for a couple of seconds, letting you have a good feel of his fingers on your skin. You stared back at him once you noticed he wasn't saying anything, soon averting your eyes once you saw him staring right at you.

It's not like you suddenly got self-conscious or anything...

"Hm, as usual. Pretty hectic and tiring." he hummed.

"Mhmm, and?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary."

Your breathing pattern changed at this point, you taking fast breaths instead of slow ones. He let out a low chuckle of amusement before changing your position, making it so he was spooning you from behind.

"Let's stay in bed today, yeah?"
