White Lies

CW: drabble, fluff
Do you what's frustrating me lately? The way my wife tells me a lie and I keep falling for it every time. Ever since we got married, Ayane would always lie when I ask her about little things. She's also not the type to tell me immediately until I found out. The members weren't also used to me being slow-witted.
One time, I'd ask where the other strawberry marshmallows were and she answered it was in the refrigerator. I found out there were none and I asked her about it and said the cat ate it. I bummed about that, but then when I cuddled next to her she smelled awfully familiar. She then admitted she ate it because it's her new favorite.
Another time was when I found penpen in the sink which was really odd. She was rummaging through her room at that time so I asked and she answered “Oh, our cat scratched and dirtied penpen at 4 am, I was afraid you'd get upset, so I put it in the sink to wash it off.” I was thinking, why isn't she using the washing machine then? When I pulled penpen out, something ripped. It was stuck on the sink all along, I turned around to tell her but I saw a similar penpen and the upset feeling immediately faded away “Sorry, I lied. I was looking for the other penpen I bought before and penpen's already worn out. I hope you can forgive me.” She said and looked guilty. I don't even blame her and I can't, but at least I got another fluffy plushie.
“You should be making sure that she's up to something.” Tasuku said after I told her about what's happening in the apartment. Homare sipped his tea and shook his head in disbelief “My word, that would be troublesome. Our dear Ayane is trying her best to make up for the mistakes.” I also agreed with him for once. Azuma raised his finger up and we all looked at him “How about asking her if she truly loves you? She can't lie about that.”
And so I did.
“Aya.” “Mm?” She responded while going through her company's paperwork. I sat beside her on the couch and held her hand “Do you love me?” She stopped moving. Was she doubting? “No.”
What?
I looked at her eyes to see if they were true, but she immediately smiled and hugged me. “I was kidding! Of course, I love you! Do you think I married you for nothing?” I smiled in the embrace, teary-eyed, and hugged her back. “I love you so much. I don't think I can handle it if someone leaves me. If you left me.“
“Even if I'm annoying?”
“Can't help it. I'm going to deal with you being annoying forever anyway, but I love you for that so don't worry.”
