7:00 AM-2/10/2018

That's what Ryuuji saw when he glanced at his phone as soon as he woke up that morning. Even though he's been out of school for years he still wakes up right at 7:00 am, a force of habit more than anything else. Taiga seems to share that particular quirk of her husband but instead of being early to rise, she is deep in her slumber whispering something about rice, or maybe curry, Ryuuji can't really make it out through his mother's snoring in the next room. He stares at his wife for a while; she's snuggled up next to him hugging his arm, her chest slowly rising when he feels a sudden nostalgia. He thinks of all the things they have gone through, all the obstacles they overcame together. Her father's meddling, and his father's return. Struggling through college and the seven months, he spent aboard with Kitamura. But the biggest was finding each other. She's could have put that letter in Kitamura's bag on that fatefully day, or he could have chosen to go for the safe route and ignored his feelings for her. But they didn't, somehow or another they made the right choices to end up together. Ryuuji doesn't believe in fate, but he does know that he is meant to be with Taiga. She's the Tiger to his Dragon.

"The day can start later." he thinks.

He pulls her closer to him and she wraps her arms around his chest. They sleep peacefully, knowing whatever comes their way, they face it together.
