It was a lovely day but a storm was brewing over the horizon, its brooding face cresting the palms with a promise of a large gale coming their way. He sighed with contentment as he looked over the property they had redone and refurbished until it was bright and livable, he had even extended part of the smaller house out so that they would have more room for pets and whatever else came along.
This last year had been amazing they had adventured for a while and then had come to the island to fix everything up. His parents had loved her and he felt complete for the first time in a long time.

She came back from the market just in time for the rain to start pouring, she hurried inside with her load of veggies and eggs and fish. They would not starve today for sure. She was gearing up to make a nice fancy meal, a passion she had only recently discovered.
She put the food away then went outside to see if she could find Umen, he seemed not to mind rain all that much and she usually found him in the surrounding woods.
She had something to ask him and she was determined to do it today.
She opened the door and walked off into what was now just light rain but could at any instant turn into the classic tropical deluge.

He had gone to bring his shore fishing lines in before the storm but the rain had already started. He was going to be a very soggy puppy by the time he got back to the house. Maybe Rista would do him the honor of having tea with him. She made the best little sweet cookies too. Who knew she had been a baker too?
He had found out many awesome things about her over the months and year and he enjoyed every minute of it, every new taste, new sensation. There were things that he got to teach her like how to ride, and now they both enjoyed long trips.
He brought the last of the lines in and saw a shadow in the rain.
"Rista?" the rain began to pelt down.

She had just approached him when the storm had let loose its fury on them both. The rain was warm and soft and a lot. The large drops made audible splats on the ground and soon puddles were already forming.
"Gahh!" it would have been perfect timing and now he couldn't hear her at all. But there were other ways to get her point across.
She marched up to him and grabbed his adorable and perplexed face and smooched him hotly on the mouth. There that aughta do it.
She grinned and raced back to the house, giggling as the wind tried to blow her off the path.

She was an odd one, just like him, he would give her that. Well no use standing out here getting soaked. He tore up after her and catching up, (his legs were longer), he grabbed her and kissed her back, until she went limp in his arms. Then he tore up to the house while she was still preoccupied.
His turn to laugh, he practically dove into the house and went to hide. He loved these kind of games.
Thunder crashed outside.

She reached the door just as the boom happened and she shrieked because it was so close but as she opened the door she was already smiling ferally on the hunt for her brat of a husband.
"Umen, how dare you leave me out there, soaking wet, ALONE. When I get a hold of you...."
She heard a faint noise from deep in the house and she strode there with purpose.

He wasn't very good at being quiet when it came to her. It was like his whole heart bubbled with joy when she was around. He made a noise and winced, decided to instead go on the offensive. Something somthing about war and valor and all that.
He moved to the bedroom and stole a blanket then he used his best ranger abilities to be as quiet as possible.
Now as long as she didn't say anything funny....
He crept up behind her and captured her like a beast in his blanket.
"MUAHAHAHAHA!"

Sometimes from the outside it was hard to tell that they were adults. However she had never gotten to play like this with anyone but Nin growing up and it had been something she had secretly missed for a long time. Now she had married a giant kid. Well sometimes he was an adult but he made a point of letting his guard down with her and she adored him for it.
She screamed again playfully and did her best to flail convincingly. They both ended up on the floor, where another kiss ensued.
"You know if we keep doing this, you know what will eventually happen right?"

"Yes I am good with it, if it were to happen it would be a blessing from the gods." He smiled sweetly at her and kissed her on the nose. He had always wanted a family now he had his parents and his wife and life was just perfection.
"I hope they get your bright yellow eyes, soul piercing as they are." He was so pumped to be a Dad one day.
"I will have so many things to teach them." he got a far off look on his face.

She was fascinated by all the changes on his face as he took the time to think about it. "Hey! Earth to Umen," she poked at his cheek. He was harshing the mood a bit.
They lay together and laughed as the thunder crashed and the rain pounded their plot of land. She had started a garden and it was thriving, the place was now a home.
"I hope they get your hair, its rare to see green you know, you have the prettiest hair," she used a chunk of it to tickled his nose. Great now she was caught up in it.
"I want a girl, for the record."

"You know I don't decide that, the gods and fates do." He booped her on the nose. "This is perfect because your sister's kids will be old enough to babysit if we need it."
When they had children they would not lack for cousins. Sometimes it was the best that way. He had had a few once. He had always wanted more but their tribe had been small and was now scattered. At least he had reclaimed his own chunk of it.
Time to make the tribe bigger.

She wrinkled her nose and nipped at his finger, it was fun to play act with him. Out of everyone she had ever met, it had been the easiest to relax around him, its like he understood her in all the ways that mattered. Except of course for his tendancy to steal her chocolate. Brat.
"Fine, fine, I'm letting the fates know then." It was fun to speculate of course, but no one could control what their kids looked like, all she knew is that they would likely be pretty.
She rose and got them some wine, she offered her glass for a toast. "To the future."

He grinned and clinked their cups together, they toasted and drank and carried on well into the night, it was the beginning of a new year and this was definitely the way to ring it in.
He didn't think there was anyone else he would rather spend it with than her, his wild minx. He remembered all of the spirited sword fights they would have racing around the yard and chasing each other, thankfully they never went for the swords when they were arguing.

The next morning as dawn broke and birds started chirping, she awoke with a wicked headache. Light hurt but she dragged herself to the kichen to make coffee. As she rose she bumped Umen, who then slumped off the bed.
He wasn't sleeping now. "Sorry," she hissed. She hadn't meant to knock him off but he had fallen asleep half off it somehow. She quite frequently found him in weird positions. It was endearing.
"You are so weird." She mumbled as she made breakfast, slowly, while avoiding beams of sunlight. This was why they didn't do this often thank the gods.

He also eventually crawled into the kichen.
"We are never buying wine from that particular vendor again, Im pretty sure it was vinegar."
He felt broken, and she was proving just how strong she was, it had been a wonderful, wild stormy night, but all he wanted was to crawl back under the covers until the darn sun went back down and it was safe to open his eyes more than tiny slits.
"Well at least we celebrated properly." The gods would be pleased and grant them a good year.
