Title: formally
Rating: G
Fandom: Nightshade
Relationship: Gekkamaru/Ueno Enju
Wordcount: 100
Short summary: Gekkamaru hasn’t broken that habit (but that's okay).

“Enju-sama, breakfast is ready.”

It takes a moment for Enju to blink away the tiredness, the fog of sleep, dreams, and memories of the past, where that same voice said those same words to her. Well, not exactly the same voice… A younger voice, to a younger her…

“Thank you…”

Her response is similar to back then, when he had to speak formally to her as she was his master. It used to bother her, first when they became lovers, that he couldn’t break the habit, but nowadays she finds it endearing.

“…Husband.”

Except this, which will be forever different.
