A/N: Inspired by having my four year old brother napping on my lap after he got into a "fight" with mummy and daddy. X3 And I guess it was mainly made because I really miss him doing that, it's been too long. Drabblish, though, again. Now this definitely has to be the shortest one ever. OTL


All right. Now who the hell in their right mind could resist such a sight?

There he laid, his tiny frame engulfed in his favorite blanket, his tiny fists tucked snugly underneath his chin while his thick green lashes fluttered.

Lily was a lot of things, she will admit to that. She can be a dirty cheat, a liar, one of the most irresponsible and irrational type of person anyone could have the misfortune of encountering, and even take immense pride in that, something that irritated her friends and family to no end. However, cold and heartless were not a part of her resumé. She can be aloof, yes, entirely different from being cold.

It started off when she just wanted to take a quick peek to find out what all the commotion was about. It wasn't like she was curious, per se, she just wanted to find out what all the ruckus was about. Gumi's wispy voice could be heard cooing over something and close by she could hear the throaty laughter of Gakupo and Cul. It wasn't until they left the room that her curiosity - she knew that she'd have to admit to that eventually - got the better of her and decided to slip inside. And now she was completely enthralled with the sight.

It'll only just be a minute, she told herself, nobody has to know.

She peeled off her high heels and placed them down on the wooden floor as quietly as possible before taking long strides towards the couch. She knew she had to be careful, she knew that she couldn't disrupt the serenity of the child's slumber nor disturb the child's many adventures in his dreams. With gentle hands, she dipped them inside of the soft cocoon to pick up the young toddler and cradled him adoringly towards her bosom.

As quietly and as smoothly as she came in, she sat down on the spot where Ryuuto once was and brushed his bangs aside with a tender motion. He wrapped his pudgy fingers around the loose strands of her blonde hair, his chest slowly rising and falling as his body quivered with a sleepy breath, nuzzling his cheek towards her to capture her warmth.

She couldn't help herself as she pulled him closer towards her, as if to say that she didn't give a damn what other people would tell her. No matter what others could say to her, this young boy did not belong to Gakupo nor Cul. Hell, not even to Gumi, the sweetest member of their family. Right now, he was all hers, just for Lily.

So as she sat on the couch, delicately rocking her small bundle back and forth, humming sweet lullabies that Yuki and Iroha had sang to her, and gingerly placed a small kiss on the sleeping boy's brow. No one will have to know, no one will have to know, no one will ever know. . .


A/N:

I'm sure Lily has a maternal side if she existed. X3 I've been wanting to make another family-oriented Fic, anyway. ^^
