Note: the mamono in this story is a Cupid

I notice how differently my wife has been acting; even making sure to lock away her arrows so I don't accidently pierce myself on them (as has happened before). At first, I think that maybe it's because she knows about DDD. But I dismiss that idea when I remember that neither of us even knew about NNN until a friend told me about it just before the month began.

That evening, we have a pleasant dinner. I decide that now's as good a time as ever to ask. "Honey; why are you helping me with NNN? You were against it just a few days ago."

She just plainly answers, "I still am against it. But I'm not going to stop you on this, so I may as well help you get through it." That answer reassures me, and I feel really bad for thinking my wife may have had some ulterior motive. Then she says, "Besides," with a gleam in her eye, "You promised that we would 'make up for lost time' together in December."

Confused, I just say, "I did? When? I can't recall."

"I'm not surprised," She answers, "It was on Halloween. We were discussing NNN, and you promised that, if you went through with it, we'd-"

"Spend plenty of time of time together in December" She and I say at the same time. "I remember now. Then I got hit in the head by that candy bag..." I'm hesitant; a promise is a promise, and, after going this long, I definitely think it's a good idea, but I'm a bit concerned about if I'll survive it. But I put that aside; I made a promise; I'm going to keep it.

"I look forward to it," I tell her. "December, to be clear; not getting hit in the head by a candy bag." My wife just laughs before grinning, "As do I."

Nov. 30 rolls around. I prepare myself for tomorrow morning by stretching and trying to relax. My wife and I go to bed together that night, and she kisses me before saying, "Congratulations, husband. You made it the whole month. I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning." I smile, "As am I." The next morning, I wake up and roll over to my wife.

"Good morning" I say to her. Immediately, she pulls out an arrow she had hidden under the bed and pierces me with it. Then she kisses me and gets on top of me with a great deal of enthusiasm. Aside from breaks for meals and hanging Christmas decorations in the house, we remain like that for weeks on end. By the end of the month, I'm completely exhausted, but I'm also grinning.
