this wasn't in takemitchy's mind when he decided to go back and return to his mother's place after running away at middle school. never in his life had he imagined that his mother would put him up for an arranged marriage
and now he's married to you and you're currently pregnant with your second child. it's been five years since the loveless wedding but it's not like he regrets any of it
he thinks his wife is… a professional. you've got good posture, a good personality, you know how to stay on the good side of people, especially with takemitchy's parents, and you're very organized with everything even with life
another unexpected thing that happened in this arranged marriage was that he's become the stay at home husband who cares for your son, and you're the hard-working mother who holds a very good position in a big company
it wasn't in the documents, this arrangement takemitchy has with you. it wasn't in the agreement that the parents from both parties have agreed upon. in fact, everything went down the drain the day you and takemitchy announce your pregnancy to them
you outright got the legal document and tore it in front of them calmly as if you didn't just do something jarring that ruined their plans for their children
you told them how takemitchy will be the one who will care for you and the child, and you will be the one who will be providing for the financial needs
this means that no more is the day when takemitchy will have to go back to that dreaded dvd store, and it brought him great relief since he's got very bad luck with anything work related. this new arrangement with you definitely lessened his problems
that instance with both of your parents was the first time he looked up to you as if you were a queen… a really badass queen
"y/n! you could have just hollered. i was just in the kitchen, don't carry that" takemitchy softly reprimands you as he hurries to take the box out of your hands. he places it down on the ground as he takes your hand in his and looks at your pregnant tummy then your eyes to ask, "are you feeling alright?"
he's become so doting after all this time. he's come to care for you, your son, and your unborn child. rules were set when you both found out you were pregnant again with your son, hiroki, being four years old now
the small booger happened to grow up very obedient with all smiles. such a very bright and hyper kid if takemitchy could say so himself. he's raised him at home while you were at work so he knows firsthand how hiroki's a secret menace with how he can run so fast and climb around hence the monkey bars at the garden
"takemichi…" you sigh, raising your hand up to flick his forehead, "i've said this to you may times already: i'm pregnant, not disabled"
"but after the first pregnancy, i can't help but feel so worried, you know?" he frowns at you and leads you to sit on the couch, "you had to stay at the hospital for a week to monitor your blood pressure"
he does have a point but you're stubborn. you can't blame him though, he was very anxious the entire time you were at the hospital. he couldn't eat or sleep properly and he wouldn't go home because he didn't want to leave you and the newborn baby. chifuyu had to drag him away from you because he started to smell that time
takemitchy continues talking, not giving you a chance to speak, "and the doctor said that you shouldn't overexert yourself" he pats your head and gives you your favorite smile, "i'll make you some sandwiches, how does that sound?"
"melodramatic"
"e-eh!?"
"it's like you're telling me that i should just stay in bed till i give birth"
stammering, he tries to make a point. "you're 8 months in, y/n-chan. i'm worried about you"
"but i want to move around, michi" you whine
takemitchy notes how your hair falls to your face as you let out a downhearted sigh and it just tugs at his heart. he doesn't need to be strict with you because he knows that you know your limits, all he wants is for you and the baby to be safe
"fine," he sighs and you immediately brighten up, "draken-kun and emma-chan will be at the park with their kid later, we can ask them to look after hiroki later when we pick him up from kindergarten so we can go for a quick walk, is that good enough for you?"
you grin in a way that gets his cheeks flushing and his heart beating so fast. it's like an absolute uno reverse with how he makes you feel with his genuine smiles
"fun-tastic!"
then he affectionately pats your head again, "that's my girl!"
it made your tummy flip hearing him call you that, you knew that he was the perfect man. his portfolio from the marriage agency was shit and you knew some of them were faked most probably by his parents that your own parents even denied you of meeting him, but you were adamant after seeing your parents sneer at his profile
you love going against your parent's wishes, so you had set a meeting with his family in hopes to get to see the horror in their faces from you interacting with the low life hanagaki takemichi
however, meeting him for the first time had your plans turning one hundred eighty degrees. he was absolutely perfect, all sweaty and nervous and adorable, it only took you a little effort to persuade your parents to allow you to marry him with a promise of bearing a child with him during the first year of your marriage
though it did take you both an entire year to conceive hiroki on the night of your anniversary, it all ended up a-okay!
