~Gakupo's POV~

Lately I've been having some 'babysitting issues'...

"Gaku-kun, Gaku-kun!" The annoying little brat known as Ryuuto called my name over and over again in his shrill, high-pitched voice. It's not like I hated the child, just that his voice was painful when shouting like that...

"What is it now, Ryuuto?" I asked, kneeling down so I could be face-to-face with the kid.

Ryuuto gave me a big grin before swiftly grabbing my cheeks and pulling my face towards his and giving me a big, sloppy, wet kiss right on the lips. Giggling happily, he skipped away. Honestly, how can that kid be eleven years old...?

I groaned, wiping my lips with a disgusted look on my face. I probably wouldn't have minded so much if it wouldn't have been such a sloppy and messy kiss...

Sighing, I stood back up and pulled my phone out, dialing a number. It wasn't long before the person on the other end picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hello Gumi."

"Oh... Hey Gakupo! What's up?"

"You're good with children, correct...?"

"I...guess...? Why...?"

"I could use some help..."

"Oh, alright. Is it okay if Lily comes with too?"

"The more help, the better."

"Alright! Be over in a few!"

The phone beeped, signaling to me that the call had ended, and I slipped it back into my pocket. Now that I had help, maybe dealing with this brat wouldn't be so difficult...

It wasn't long before Gumi and Lily showed up at my door. I eagerly let them in, glad to have any help I could get.

"I'm assuming you know Ryuuto...?" I asked, glancing up at the two girls with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah," Gumi replied, placing a hand on her hip. "Where is he, anyway?"

I gestured down the hall, where my own bedroom was. "I'm letting him stay in my room for now, but he's being picked up in a few hours anyway."

"How old did you say he was...?" Lily asked, raising an eyebrow at me, mimicking what I had done to them.

"Eleven," I replied bluntly, sighing heavily.

"Eleven? This kid sure must not behave..." Lily clicked her tongue softly and took a seat on the couch.

"What are you doing?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at the blonde in confusion.

"You said he was busy in your room, right? Why cause more trouble than we already have?" She waved a hand at me, signaling for me to leave her be for now. I growled softly under my breath, but decided against kicking her out. If she left, it meant that Gumi was leaving too. And I needed her help.

"Gaku-kun, Gaku-kun!" It wasn't long before I heard the shrill voice again as Ryuuto came running down the hallway toward me.

"What? What is it?" Gumi asked, ruffling Ryuuto's hair gently.

Ryuuto pursed his lips and glared at her for a moment before turning back to me. He really didn't like Gumi...? This kid... "Age doesn't matter, right?"

"Huh...?" I asked, surprised by the question. "What...do you mean...?" I glanced over at Lily and Gumi, who seemed just as surprised as I was.

Ryuuto looked annoyed that he had to repeat himself, but did so anyway. "Like, in love! If you love them, age doesn't matter, right? Right?"

My eye twitched slightly, but I forced a smile. "Y-yes, absolutely...!"

Ryuuto beamed, gripped onto the sleeve of my shirt and shook me a bit. "Gaku-kun, Gaku-kun!"

"Yes...?" I asked, a bit tired out from hearing his voice all on its own.

"I love you! In a...s...se...sexual way...!" Ryuuto smiled broadly, and I could practically hear Gumi and Lily's expression shatter into a million pieces along with my own.

I took a moment to process what had just happened, a shiver being sent up my spine, before I burst out in a desperate manner.

"'Age doesn't matter' is not allowed!"
