Recommended song for this one. Sen no Kiseki (Trails of Cold Steel 1) - Even if Driven to the Wall

It's a JRPG. If your party's health is in danger the music changes. This fits the bill. I would post the link, but many times I have had issues with the videos being erased. Including a whole OST I used to help write.

It was nearly midnight as you were in the top floor office. This time in the main chair. The one that was behind the desk. Usually Rias was in that seat settling paperwork, pacts, and making calls. Though it was you. Looking up at the moon and in deep thought. There is a giant weight on your shoulders regardless of the treaty. You are once again going against your race of people and planning to do nothing but destroy. This isn't pleasant. There is no life. Only destruction.

I know I have permission and they are waiting on me. But what? I'm destroying a man who is a father to about two dozen. Do I have to bring harm and damage to those who don't deserve it? The women are innocent. So are the kids. This isn't twelve years ago. You sighed and rested your bed on the window frame. Someone help me.

The office door opened up. "Wolfie?"

 "Koneko?" You lifted up your head and looked over.

"What are you doing here?" She questioned. Giving the fact that she is in a nightgown and woke up isn't a good sign. "You slept the bed for what?"

"I was just in deep thought. I didn't want to toss and turn and keep you up all night."

"I went to grab water and you were gone. I checked the bathroom and I could see that you weren't in our daughter's room. This is the first place I checked. You aren't howling at the moon are you?"

"You know that's a stereotype. I don't howl at the moon. I don't even howl at you."

"A simple aoogah. I get it."

"About that." You shake your head. "I just know what needs to be done tomorrow. I'm just not too thrilled about it. I don't want to harm innocent people." You know that no matter what, Bruce needs to die. That is just it. But then who takes his place? Who are on board with him? Decisions decisions."

"What were you planning on doing? Burning it all down? Flooding them? Baby, that isn't like you at all. That isn't the one I married." She locked the door behind her and walked over by the window. "Show me your hands."

"I'm fine."

"I said show your hands!" Unless you want to get hit by a Rook because you pissed her off past midnight, be my guest. 

Hands up and out. Top and bottom. "I'm alright. Just trying to prepare myself."

"You've been worrying me a lot lately. You know that right?"

"I'm getting better right?"

"Depends. What was your way of attacking the camp?" She sat in the chair and was waiting for you to talk. You were going no place. Nor was anyone walking in on this important movement. There was no way out. And the window won't happen because if you wake up the kids in panic Rias would give you one-thousand spankings all the way to hell.

"I was actually thinking of just going after Bruce and then making sure they go into panic attack positioning." A wise tactic. You can't kill everyone, but things may turn for the worst when they find out. Who would be second in command?

"Fine idea. So what are you doing? I'm not dropping this. You doing this now? What are you doing?"

"I honestly want to come to bed but-"

"Not like that. You think you can just plan an assassination and get in the same bed as me? Wolfie I can't have you acting this way. So come with me to the bath. You aren't going alone."

"A bath?"

Your wife's ears popped out. "Nya." She nodded.

"That will certainly do it." Looks like I'm bathing before bed. Maybe to detoxify the frustration.

"I'll grab towels. You better be in the water by the time I get there."

She unlocked the door and let herself out. You sit there and take a breath. The feeling of the edgy, angry beast inside of you is daunting away. For the better. To make sure of it Koneko is going to check on you. All that is left to do is to go downstairs and to the spring. Might as well follow up. Cats when they get pissy are something you don't want to deal with. But at least there is plenty of milk now. And bread... Thanks to Issei and Xenovia that is.

But you digress. You know there is only one proper solution for your state of mind and your wife's. But your hide in the bath. You two are the only ones out and awake that you know of. Everyone is at least in an apartment. You went downstairs and Koneko walked in with towels right as you were getting to the buttons of your shirt.

"Hi?" Hoping you're not in trouble for milking it.

"I'm not." She sighed and sat down. Going for her socks. "Let's get in. Only two of us."

"Yup." You finished with your shirt and then the belt, draws, pants, and socks came all down and off in one go. You hang it over a chair and step in slowly. Then leaning into an underwater rock structure that was a rock seating platform. Sighing happily and waiting for Koneko. "Already a good idea."

"Good. Better be room." With the room filled with steam you watch your wife get in. Then swimming over before sitting next to you. "That's it."

You pet her behind the ears. "Is it now?"

"I don't know. You're the one threatening murder." 

("NO THREATENING MURDER!" -Miss Kobayashi)

"I am- wait, nevermind."

"Chooch." She mumbled.

"I might be an ass but at least I can say I have been a decent husband and father."

"Of course you have Wolfie. Always make the time, are there in need, put up with me-"

"You're not as bad as you say. Outside the milk mishaps that is really about it normally."

"And our only child is just like me without the attitude."

"Kind of. Almost reminds me a little of Asia. If she was ever a Nekomata. But what else? I have a feeling we will be here for a while."

She nuzzled into your chest. "Instead of you going to bed anxious I thought we would make a date out of it."

"A date? Well, I didn't think of it that way but you're right. A date doesn't have to be us teleporting to somewhere exotic or to the best place with money and class."

Koneko kissed your neck. "Sometimes it is just making time for another and making sure we are both okay. And is alright if one of us is not okay. What isn't is if we try not to work or improve it. We don't fight. If we started, then we have an issue. We know what marriage is by now."

"Two and a half cats, a ton of a milk, half ton of bread, and cuddles." You couldn't help but chuckle after that one. Especially after the recent cow and bread truck incident. Insert sound of slide whistle and Pac-man dying.

"I take it you're feeling better. Which is nice. Ever since before we were together I was concerned about you. We had similar circumstances. And now, we both have our moments. Every so often things just break us down and overwhelm us. But we are here for each other."

"I just let you be and cuddle when you want it."

"I'm not threatening murder."

"Touche. I'll give ya that."

"Come Wolfie, this is the place to be. And you know it hurts me waking up to use the bathroom and you've disappeared from the bed."

"I never want it." You kiss her. "We agreed on that."

"Then love me and all is forgotten."

"Always."

Love her madly. You need her badly.
