( There were days when Kiritsugu almost never thought domestic life would grow on him the way it had, like wearing a well loved glove. From living with his heavily pregnant wife in this old, Japanese manor, to mundane things like teaching himself how to cook and clean. Everyday spent with Irisviel, away from the hell of the Einzbern's watchful gaze, was precious to him. And today was no exception:
Currently, he's drawing a bath of salts and foaming soap in the bathroom, waiting for Iri to join him; an indulgence he would rarely allow himself in the past, he finds himself readily embracing-- if for no other reason, to spoil his wife.
Leaning over the wooden tub, Kiritsugu dips his hand into the warm, rushing water to give it a stir, before calling out, hoping she hadn't strayed too far from the bathroom by now. )
[Her husband had gone from "loving" to "doting" so quickly that Irisviel had to giggle at it all. He'd dove so swiftly into setting up their life together, doing far more than his share of the daily maintenance of their home, fussing over her in ways that would have been exasperating if they weren't so endearing...
The transformation was downright adorable, really.]
I'm coming, my love.
[Her robe was tight over her belly, the little one inside ready to greet the world very soon now. At most the time could be measured in weeks, and the effects on her body were quite pronounced. Which had just encouraged Kiritsugu's doting.
Nonetheless, she was hardly about to complain right now as she stepped out into the bathing room, giving him a soft smile.]
