[Doesn't mean he can't be contradictory and want Hiyori to be capable of disciplining him when necessary. Hopefully though he can live up to her expectations of husbandy material, whatever standard she may have set in her mind.
More than anything he wants to live up to that for her.
Her laughter makes him flush even more deeply, casting a glance off to the side as he grumbles to himself about scaring away all her other potential husband candidates. She's his now, musty laundry smell or not. He'll take being stale if it means getting to bask in her presence for the next sixty or so years. With luck he will be able to fulfill his promise of surrounding her with great-grandchildren. ...not immediately, but not too far in the future, he hopes.
Even he's not sure exactly when his attitude and goals changed. When he promised to make her the happiest girl in the world, maybe...?]
I... I dunno...?
[He's about to suggest hitting the showers when she dives right in and gives him a good, long whiff, turning his face a lovely shade of pink as his mouth opens and closes like a fish's.]
H-Hiyori..... [He can feel her breath on his skin and it tickles like hell--!] ...you think so...? You smell nice, too...
[Unable to help himself, he ducks down to nose at her neck, letting himself take in and savor her unique scent, too.]
