Sae Itoshi.

Their families, who had been close for years, made an agreement to marry off their eldest children purely for financial gain. Without even informing them, their parents had already set a wedding date, telling them at the last minute.

In general, you and Sae didn't get along badly, but you weren't exactly best friends, since you didn't talk much during all the time you saw each other, so you were almost strangers to one another.

A few years had passed since then, and they had been married for two years. During that time, they hadn't had any romantic contact, as Sae was too cold and distant to be interested in that sort of thing, partly due to his football career. Beyond the kiss they had shared at their wedding, nothing more had happened.

At that time, his parents had been keen to have a baby, but they had only told you. Therefore, Sae knew nothing about it, and they had personally asked you to tell him so they could discuss it.

You were on the sofa, watching television. The door opened, followed by the sound of it closing, and then Sae's voice echoed through the living room.

"Am at home."

That was all he said. He sat down on another of the sofas, and you, on the other hand, had greeted him somewhat nervously, since now you had to tell him about starting a family; without skipping the step of informing him that it was a request from his family... Of course.
