Chapter Fourteen: For Your Eyes Only:

The family ate a small seaside café. Mosh looked over at Noiz with a smile on his face. His wife gave him a puzzled look.

“What is it?” she asked.

“I love you,” Mosh said.

“Well, I love you too,” Noiz replied.

“You are so beautiful,” the mouse told her.

“Uh… thanks.” She gave him an odd look. “What do you want?”

“What do you mean?” he asked.

“You sound like you’re buttering me up for something.”

“Can’t I tell my wife she’s beautiful and I love her?” He noticed the glaring look in her eyes. Mosh sighed and rolled his eyes.

“Fine,” he said. “We barely spend any time together anymore.” Noiz gave him a confused look.

“Of course we do,” she said.

“No, I mean….” His eyes shifted to Ume-chan. “Actual time.” Noiz nodded as she slowly got it.

“Oh!” she said. “That time.”

“Yes,” Mosh said. Noiz played with her glass on the table.

“What about it?” she asked.

“Could we do that tonight?”

Noiz gave him a fake little, gasp. “Mosh-kun!”

He batted his eyes at him. “What?”

“Not in front of the girl-child!”

Mosh looked at Ume-chan’s little face. The baby had doe-eyed looked on her face. The mouse boy gave her a little smile.

“She’ll be fine,” he said. “But mousey wants to be played with. Please?” He rested his hand on her knee. Noiz began to squirm went his finger crawled up her inner thigh. She bit on her lower lip.

“Okay,” she mumbled. Mosh grinned as he cheered to himself.

“I love you so much!” he said. Noiz moved away her leg with a frown.

“Yeah, yeah,” she brushed off. Mosh still gloated to himself as their food arrived.
