Thieves and Little Princes

Baba X OC Kissed by the Baddest Bidder story

One of my favourite characters in the series is Baba so I thought I'd do a short story where he introduces the MC to his son from a previous affair and what it'd be like. I'll probably at some point do a longer story with a new OC and Baba. but I really wanted to write this one shot first because it's sooo cute!

MC's name: Shiori

Shiori sat reading a newspaper while sipping on a mug of hot coffee. She was a maid at Tres spades, humbly minding her own business, when by some ridiculous twist of fate, she had ended up being sold on the black market to Mitsunari Baba: the world famous thief and most gorgeous man she'd ever laid eyes on. Although she'd been less than thrilled at first, she'd gradually fallen head over heels for the charming trickster.

Shiori registered, out of the corner of her eye, the front door of the suite opening as a tall, proud figure, topped with a hat strode in. Looking up briefly from her newspaper, she automatically smiled as Baba walked over to her, her heart filled with love and fondness for her boyfriend.

'Hey, sweetheart. I've got someone to meet you!' He smiled at her but she noticed some tension in his expression and wondered what was wrong. Suddenly, from behind his legs, an adorable little child waddled over and took her hand, kissing it.

'Hello, pwetty lady.' The child greeted, stumbling over the words a little.

'Oh. My. God! He's the sweetest thing I've ever laid eyes on. Look Baba, he's got a hat just like you! Is he your nephew or something?' She asked, not noticing the panic in Baba's eyes as she easily lifted the child and placed it on her lap.

'…Not quite…' Realising something was wrong, Shiori looked up sharply. Baba fidgeted nervously with his hat which he'd taken off and was toying with in his hands.

'Well? Who is he?' She asked with a raised eyebrow.

'He's… well, he's my son.' Shiori's jaw dropped in astonishment. She turned to study the child closer and realised that yes indeed, the toddler looked just like Baba, with it's expressive calf-like eyes and dark hair.

'You have a SON?!' She asked incredulously, her voice rising to a crescendo. The child flinched a little and watched her warily, 'Sorry, sweetheart. Here, let's get you something to eat, you must be starving!' She said softly to the little child, realising she might have startled him a little.

Ignoring Baba, who was now looking rather panicked, she rose with the child in her arms, going to the kitchen to get him a biscuit.

'What's your name, darling?' She asked him sweetly.

'Yun!' He replied proudly, thrilled with the sweet biscuit she'd given him. Even though she could be a little loud, he decided he definitely liked her.

'Shiori-' Baba came over to the kitchen to join them, but she still ignored him. Striding out into the penthouse lounge, she handed the toddler over to Ota with strict instructions for fun, before dragging the terrified looking Baba back into their suite.

'He's really taken to you.' Baba commented, trying to diffuse the tension a little as she glared at him.

'What the hell, Baba?' She demanded coldly. 'You have a child?'

'Yeah. It was from one of my previous affairs. She got pregnant and, well, we had Yun.' He shrugged sheepishly at her, unsure of what to do.

'After all these months, you decide to break it to me now? Why didn't you tell me earlier?'

'I was afraid…'

'Of?'

'Of losing you. You're so young: I was terrified you wouldn't want to be saddled with an older man who already has a child. I didn't know how you'd react.' Shiori's heart softened immediately at the sad expression in his eyes. She knew that despite the number of women he'd chased, he had always felt alone and was terrified of his own loneliness. She walked over to him and pulled him into a tight hug. He embraced her back fiercely, burying his face in her silky chocolate brown hair.

'Oh God Baba. I had no idea you felt like that! You shouldn't be afraid of losing me. I love you and I couldn't leave you if I tried.' She breathed, the words coming out in a rush as he gently caressed her.

'Thank you so much. You both mean the world to me and I couldn't bear it if either one of you weren't in my life. I'm glad he took an immediate liking to you. He sure knows a lovely lady when he sees one!' Shiori laughed at that.

'He's just like you Baba! I absolutely love him- he's just the cutest thing ever!' She giggled, pulling away from Baba's tight hug. 'Now come on! I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you have a kid but I still want to play with him, meanwhile. Any more surprises you're hiding from me Baba?' She asked with a raised eyebrow.

'No, no… that's pretty much it.' He laughed, following her back out into the executive lounge.
