you looked good, ushijima thought to himself as you approached him in your apron with the most excited and loving glow around you, ready to welcome him back into your arms as you do every single day.
"welcome back 'toshi! i was just making your favorite but you came back earlier than i expected," he chuckled deeply, pressing a kiss onto your head as he showed you a small smile only reserved for you.
"you should take a shower first. it'll help you loosen up your muscles. the water's all warmed up already."
before he could show his appreciation, you were already scurrying away from him as you went back to cooking. you were too perfect, he thought with another chuckle. ushijima moved to follow your suggestion, patting your dog in the head as a greeting that sent his tail wagging madly. you had insisted that getting said dog was a must since he was away quite often. ushijima blinks away the fondness in his eyes as he remembers the memory of that day.
you were too perfect, he thought as he came back from the shower only to see you babying your dog. the sight of you being so nurturing sent him into overdrive and he felt little sparks against his fingertips as he reached out to touch you.
"oh! you're done! let's eat before the food gets cold."
a small part of him felt guilty. you have always gone beyond what he expected you to do even before you two had gotten married. you always gave him the best of you and he tries to return it, he really does but in his opinion, he falls short far too much. as you talked animatedly about your day, he wondered if it was alright for him to feel like this. to feel safe, to feel happy, to feel at home when he was rarely ever home. how many nights were you left sleeping alone?
the feeling returned. an inkling of a ravenous desire. a need. a lifeline with you. his heart raced impossibly fast but he remained calm. it was the same feeling he got when he is seconds away from a spike. his adrenaline pumping, eyes dilated, nervous, excited but steady like the waters before a storm. he is right where he needs to be. one look at your jubilant form, the you who was talking animatedly about you and your dog's shenanigans, and he was stilled. he was ready to go for it. he was ready for this.
"y/n," you blinked, only realizing how this was the first time he spoke to you that night. he was more of a listener so he usually didn't talk until need be but that's okay. his presence speaks loud enough for him.
"yes?"
ushijima stared at you, eyes seemingly blank until you look deeper and you see sparks of a raging flame, "let's have a baby."
sure, you wanted to say after you processed his passive delivery of otherwise weighty words. sure, you wanted to say but only after you dislodge the steak that accidentally went into your windpipe.
