"Hey Honey! I'm back!" Jaune announced as he walked through the door, kicking off his shoes with a sigh of relief.

"Hello dear, how was work today?" His wife's voice came from the kitchen.

"It was a bit rough, I swear these guys don't know a thing or two about handling money, I swear I thought they even tried to snuck a few Lien away!" He said, exasperated.

"Wow really? They actually tried to steal money from the bank?" His wife said, genuinely shocked.

"Yeah I know, I was amazed too, like I told them off and that I'd report them if they did it again but you know me… not exactly the most intimidating guy there." He sighed out loud as he unbuttoned his suit and looked up at the ceiling, a pair of soft arms enclosing his chest.

"Well you're manly and tough enough for me baby… Why don't you lay down for a bit, dinner is almost ready and I've made your favourite." She giggled softly.

He chuckled and grabbed her hand softly, kissing it. "What did I ever do to deserve the light of my life?"

"Ran into me at school a couple of times, knocking my pens and books everywhere, you never really did look where you walked did you?" She teased, amused at the fond memory.

"Yeah you're right, you're right. I guess I kinda barged myself into your life. But I don't have any regrets, do you?" He said, turning towards her and looking down at her face that still made his heart flutter.

"Nope, none at all." She said, poking his nose and standing on her tippy toes to peck him on the lips, the kiss lingering for a moment longer before she stopped to go back to the stove.

"How was your day?" He asked, shrugging off his jacket and collapsing onto the sofa, groaning as his feet were free.

"Oh it was great, I actually went out and had lunch with some girlfriends today, it's been so long since I've seen them that I nearly cried when I hugged them. It was a lovely place too, maybe we should go there together some day?"

"Sure, why not? I've got this weekend off on both days so I think it'll be a great opportunity. What type of place is it?" He said, his interest spiked.

"It's somewhat like a restaurant and pub sort of deal? They do craft beers and interesting brews from what I saw as well." She said, stirring the pot with a wooden ladle.

"That sounds grand, maybe we can bring Nora and Ren along as well, they recently got married too didn't they?" He said, thinking back to his lifelong friends.

"Really? God it feels like only yesterday they were engaged." His wife said, amazed.

"Well they've been wanting to get married for a while, they just never got around to the engagement part. It's weird, they sorted out the wedding and whatnot before they even got engaged." Jaune said to the ceiling as he attempted to relax.

"Everyone knew they were going to get married, it was plain as daylight." She giggled, setting the pot down and grabbing the crockery and cutlery.

"Yeah even I saw it, and I'm blind as a bat! Hey, remember when you gave me a movie ticket and I thought you were just being nice, and then I went to see the movie on my own?" He chuckled embarrassingly at that memory.

"Yes I do, I also remember Ren trying to convince you that it was meant to be a date yet you wouldn't see it like that." She scolded him semi-seriously. "Come up, dinner's ready babe."

"Yeah I know I was being stupid back then." He said as he got up and walked painfully over to the table, taking a seat next to her, his arm slipping around her waist. "God smelling that has made me starve."

"Well don't eat your food too quickly or you'll end up throwing it back up in the toilet, which I rather you didn't since I spent a lot of time and effort on this." She pouted.

He chuckled softly. "Alright alright, I'll savour every bite of your delicious stew." He reassured her as he gave her cheek a big smooch, grabbing a plate and plating up his food.

Sometime later

Jaune sighed as he slipped into the comfortable bed sheets that beckoned him. He sidled up to his wife, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her in closer. "Mmm I smell lavender." He murmured.

"Mhm, it's one of my new body washes, I saw it on the shelf and I thought I might fancy a go at it." She grinned widely as she turned to face him.

"Well I have to say it smells amazing, I wouldn't mind going to sleep to this smell." He chuckled, lightly kissing her.

She responded in kind, her hands going up to caress his face and the stubble. "You need to shave again." She teased.

"Awww do I have too?" He pouted at her.

"Fine, since it's the weekend you don't have to." She relented.

"Woohoo! It's a real pain to get a decent shave." He commented ruefully.

"Just let me shave you then?" She asked, but he was already shaking his head.

"No no no no, I can't do that. You already cook and do the majority of the cleaning, I'd feel horrible if I made you do that." He said, his face troubled.

"Alright if it troubles you that much I won't do it then… But it makes my heart warm that you think of me so much." She said, smiling widely.

"Well of course, if it's not numbers or bank notes, you're the only thing that's on my mind." He said, trying to be smooth.

She giggled at that. "That was awful, you know that?" She said through her giggles.

"Yeah but that's why you fell in love with me isn't it? I was always the cheesy goofy guy." He chuckled, kissing her neck softly and holding her close.

"Mmm… We should go to sleep, we've got a big weekend planned don't we?" She said, closing her eyes.

"That we do babe, that we do." He agreed.

"Love you." She whispered.

"Love you too." He whispered back.
