R&R. And I kept Tsubaki and Yotaka alive, because why not?
"Okay Nai," the blue haired man said as he put the toddler in his arms down at his feet. "I'll be back in a little while. Be good now."
Not wanting the man to leave just yet, Nai whined and hugged his leg; his big red eyes filling with tears. "Karoo no go." he said.
"Don't worry, I'll be back." he said, prying the white haired toddler off his leg as the door opened and a man with long silver hair swept back into a ponytail stepped out; his face covered in bandages and his blue eyes curious. This only made Nai a lot more scared.
"Azana, how many times do we have to tell you not to answer the door?" a female voice shouted from inside. "You'll scare away the kids."
"No I won't Tsubame." he called back. "Little kids love me."
"Karoo no go." Nai said, grabbing onto Karoku's leg again. "Man scary."
"Yeah, they love you a whole bunch." a purple haired teen said sarcastically as he shooed the silver haired man away. "Get out of here." Looking over at Karoku, he looked down and saw the toddler attached to his leg; and he just about melted.
The child couldn't have been more than a year old with fine white hair going past his ears, a piece on either side of his head flicking upwards slightly and gradually fading into a lavender shade. And he had these big red eyes, that just looked up at him the most pleading and adorable look, it was hard to keep a straight face and not melt at the sight of it.
"You must be Karoku." he said, trying not to get too lost in the toddler's eyes as Karoku got Nai off of him and gave him to him. "And this must be Nai."
"Yeah." Karoku said as Nai started reaching out for him. "Be sure to keep an eye on him. He has a habit of running off and getting into trouble."
"Don't worry, he's in good hands." the purple haired teen said as he held Nai against his body so he wouldn't kick. "Now, how long are you going to be gone?"
"Not long, a few days, maybe a week." he said, looking at Nai and giving the teen the bag that was slung over his shoulder. "Be good while I'm gone Nai."
"Karoo no go." Nai whined again, grabbing onto Karoku's finger.
"I'll see you in a few days." he said, taking his finger back and going back to his car. "Bye Nai."
Watching as Karoku drove away, Nai looked over at the teen who was holding him and started crying; wailing at the top of his lungs as the teen tried to soothe him and get him to calm down.
"Oh boy..." Yotaka muttered as Nai continued to wail. "This is going to be fun."
