Lap Pillow
The Lap Pillow Meme
From TV Tropes: A good way to show the physical intimacy and trust which a couple have is to rest one's head on the other's lap. Usually, the man does the resting while the woman provides the lap, not only because of anatomical reasons but because the lap-owner is typically of a nurturing nature more associated with femininity. Bonus points if she's feeding him grapes or stroking his hair. In some cases this is done between people who are not necessarily lovers, to comfort someone who is weeping or injured.
Or, in the case of the meme: screw the rules, we'll do anything. Maybe they're tired and just found a good place to rest? Maybe both parties were asleep? Hard to tell. All we know is, someone's head is going to be on another person's lap. Shenanigans will ensue.

Goshujin-sama~
She is so preoccupied by her worries that she is even clumsier than usual, mainly tripping over more... But she doesn't mind that at all, she doesn't mind the fact that there is still some light brusing on one of her arms, on the side she often rolls towards in order to break her falls. (It's fine though, her yukata sleeves will cover everything.) All this 'bad luck' is nothing. In fact, perhaps the more bad luck she endures means more good fortune will accompany her beloved and bring him home safely to her!
Kuwana is, of course, there to greet Tonbokiri when his squad returns, with a soft radiant smile upon her face and a respectful bow. She wants so badly to rush over to hug him tight and cover him with kisses, but that would have been inappropriate and she knows he isn't really one for such public displays of affection. She will just have to wait till they are alone.
Knowing that the first thing he'll want is a nice relaxing bath, she has a change of clothes ready for him when she greets him, and she immediately hands it over while taking his spear from him so that she can clean it.
As he bathes, she lovingly cleans and cares for his blade before carefully returning it to its stand in their room, right beside her own sword. Then she smooths out the large futon they share that she has set out earlier, for she knows he's probably exhausted and wants to sleep... but that doesn't mean they can't cuddle a bit before he drifts off.
She is kneeling neatly on the futon when he returns, freshly bathed. Her cheeks turn a light pink when she hears his request, then she nods and pats her lap invitingly with a soft smile.
As he rests his tired head on her lap, she smiles down as him, gently stroking his long hair, letting her slender fingers lightly caress his scalp as she whispers, "Welcome home, Goshujin-sama."
///
Kuwana is always so thoughtful of him, whether he is near or far. And she always knows just what is needed.
He breathes out languidly again as her fingers caress him, but his eyes that had started to droop closed snap open at her calling him that.
"Kuwana-" His blush deepens, but he smiles up at her. "It is good to be home, precious Oku-san. Thank you for looking after everything as always."
The words feel so small compared to how deep his thanks is; for her thinking of him while he is away, greeting him when he returns, and even helping him with the mundane but very personal chore of maintaining his spear. She is so kind to him in every way.
no subject
She's just trying her best to be a good wife and he worries greatly about her too whenever she's away on missions! And he has carried and helped her bathe more than once when she came back much too exhausted to move! (And also probably because it's just so much safer to carry her as a tired Kuwana is even more prone to tripping over her own feet!)
Kuwana's smile widens while her blush likewise deepens upon hearing that term of affection. She glances away for just an instant out of shyness. Is it strange to still feel so shy sometimes in front of one's own husband? Then she looks back into his eyes with a soft smile and a little shake of her head, as she continues to gently stroke his hair, "I didn't really do anything special. Thank you for coming safely home to me, Tonbo."
no subject
That she is still a little shy with him (and he with her) makes Tonbokiri think that they being sincere with each other as they live and learn through this unprecedented life for a sword spirit.
Besides, the things that are worth doing are not easy. Like working a stretch of land to turn it into a field, and then sowing it to raise a crop, so the work of marriage takes time, persistent care, and experience. Yet every day there is satisfaction in watching the work come along a little more, and he looks forward to their relationship growing further.
Relaxing deeply, especially as he's weak to having his head stroked, he returns that soft smile. "Everything you do is special to me. And, every day I hone myself further, so I will always return to you." And to Aruji. He has two very precious reasons to not break.
But thinking of being honed... He closes his eyes for a moment, thinking of how some swords have asked Aruji for permission to travel history and become stronger. It is not a strong desire within him yet to do that, but it has been on his mind, as he feels himself wanting to become even ...more, for the sake of the two people he loves most.
no subject
"Tonbo..." Her smile widens yet a little more. She can't help it. Hearing all these nice things from him just makes her heart swell with a quiet pride! But she reminds herself not to get carried away with it for being prideful is unbecoming, especially for a lady.
"... I am very happy to hear that." She leans down to plant a light kiss on his forehead as she continues stroking his soft hair. She is tempted to kiss him on the lips... but he seems so tired and perhaps a kiss there would be too exciting? (Kuwana, where did your mind go??) Or perhaps she is afraid that she may not be able to control her passions should she kiss him on the lips... He has been away for almost a week after all...
(And missed their regular special alone time~ :3c)That doesn't stop her fingers from absently caressing his cheek though and wandering over to lightly trace his lips. Luckily (?), she soon catches herself doing that and instantly tries to distract herself by humming softly to him instead, all the while thinking, 'Not now. He's exhausted. Maybe tomorrow? Yes, tomorrow he will be well-rested and able to-'
no subject
When her fingers pass over his lips, he grins a little and shifts his head. "That tickles, lovely..." And then he (at last) realizes what her caresses are conveying. His loving and quietly passionate wife-! He opens his eyes enough so that he can take her hand and hold it gently to his chest as she hums to him.
He whispers, "I apologize, to make you wait even longer for me. But I'll better match you tomorrow..."
no subject
“T-Tonbo... I... It’s okay! I don’t-!” But she does desire him. She desires him greatly and she can’t lie about that! But-But it’s improper to feel so- but, they are married! It’s not wrong to feel this way about him, is it? But is she troubling him by feeling this way when he isn’t up to it?? She’s always been taught that women shouldn’t be so eager about... about these matters after all... Is she being a bad wife??
She whimpers softly behind her hand, out of shame, frustration and just generally at a lost for what to do now!
no subject
Pressing her hand between hers again he tries to reassure her. "You needn't be embarrassed about showing your love for me, Kuwana. I... can understand if you are frustrated though. I was away for a long time..." Trailing off he hugs her hand, closing his eyes and breathing out deeply, somewhat downcast. Even this much is troubling to her... perhaps he should just fall asleep. He was so enjoying having his hair stroked by her though, and her humming.
no subject
Ah, but don’t fall asleep so quickly, Tonbo! She wants to talk to him more-! But... she understands that he’s completely exhausted... so she falls silent for a moment to let him sleep. She lets her fingers lightly caress his scalp and eventually sings him a soft lullaby.
She’ll let him sleep on her lap for a long while before carefully shifting him off her lap and tucking him into bed. Then she stretches her stiff legs and snuggles close to him, trying to sleep.
She really tries to sleep but she keeps being distracted by his closeness. She can’t help reaching out to lightly touch his firm muscular chest... Ahh~ She missed this so much~ ♥ Then she lightly nuzzles a cheek against his chest. Ahhh~ That feels so nice and he smells really good too~ ♥ She presses closer against him in her happiness, but then suddenly she feels-she feels his-! Kuwana swallows a gasp and quickly pulls away-! Then she glances- No! She mustn’t look down! She mustn’t! Yet now she can’t stop thinking about his- And now her body feels so-!
Kuwana tries her best to leave the futon as quickly and quietly as possible then she rushes for the showers. A cold shower! She needs a cold shower!
no subject
...But human bodies are profoundly uncooperative, sometimes. And the group really had been pushed to their limit on this mission. But he didn't break, so there is no need to worry. He just needs rest.
And under Kuwana's soothing hand and with her soft words in his ears, he slips into that rest swiftly.
He is usually alert to movement around him even while sleeping, but his perception is muddled this time. He has only the vaguest awareness of Kuwana shifting him from her lap to the pillow, and her snuggling up close to him to sleep as well. Comforted by her familiar presence, he sleeps more deeply.
When her warmth leaves his side suddenly, one hand instinctively reaches towards the space where she was. His perception of time is muddled in his weariness, however, so it doesn't seem long until she's returned to him. But she is so cold! Worried for her without even being roused from his doze, he hugs her close to warm her.
no subject
The moment she curls up under the covers for warmth, her
personal heaterhusband has wrapped his arms round her and pulled her close! Her gasp of surprise is muffled against him, but she doesn't mind at all. He's so warm and she misses being held like that. Happily nuzzling his chest, she begins to feel increasingly sleepy... yet, just before she drifts off... ATCHOO!no subject
His tone full of gentle concern he asks, "Are you all right, Kuwana? You feel a bit cold..."
no subject
Kuwana frantically shakes her head, her voice nasally from a nose that now feels a little stuffy. "I'm fine! I'm just- ATCHOOOO!" She sneezes again against him and sniffles.
no subject
"You are cold... And this sneeze and your voice... Did you get sick? I should fetch Yagen Toushirou-dono." Illness upon their human bodies should not be taken lightly!
no subject
“N-No...! It’s fine, Tonbo! I just took a cold shower, that’s all... I’m sure I’ll be all warmed up again soon... there’s no need to bother Yagen-san... I’ll be alright...”
And she hides against him in shame. She’s such a bad and stupid wife for being unable to control her passions and for making him worry so! Not to mention the bruises on her right arm (which are thankfully still hidden under her yukata sleeve) from all the falling over she did while he was gone because she was so distracted by worrying about his safety...
no subject
"All right." He accepts it and strokes her head and back kindly, for she is hiding against him in the way she does when she's embarrassed or ashamed, and he wants to reassure her. "Will you be able to sleep now?"
no subject
She snuggles closer at the stroking and nods into his chest. “Yes, I think so. I feel fine now. I’m sorry for waking you.”
And she’ll eventually fall asleep in his arms. Her sleep in mostly peaceful though her dreams do get a little spicy as the night goes on, and when she awakes in the early morning, she’s feeling a little bothered again... orz
She glances up at Tonbo, who seems to still be asleep, and watches him sleep for a while. Then in a moment of boldness, she reaches up to kiss him lightly on the lips...!
no subject
With her snugged so close to him, he falls asleep again in no time at all, a peaceful and dreamless rest.
He awakes again at the light and tickling sensation upon his lips. Kuwana being so bold as to kiss him while he is asleep is a little unusual, so it takes him a moment to realize what is happening, but he returns the kiss and opens his eyes slowly.
She is so lovely, like a flower opening towards the sun. His heart is at once warmed by her love for him, and his for her.
"Good morning, lovely," he says in a soft tone, hugging her close. "You are quick to be expressing your love today. Did you sleep better?"
no subject
Her cheeks colour a little and she looks away just a bit when he points out how
horny'quick to be expressing her love' she is. "Good morning, Tonbo. I... well, I have missed you terribly after all since you were gone for so long. And yes, I slept well. Did you have a nice rest too?"Is he ready to be expressing his love too~?
