A Peaceful Morning
At break of dawn, a man is turning around in his sleep. His eyes twitch before he opens them. He tries to close them again and continue to sleep, his body still feels heavy. But unfortunately, he can't ,so reluctantly he rises from his slumber.
The man reaches for his smartphone to check the clock in the dark room. It is still 5 o'clock in the morning. He yawns a little then turns to see his sleep company.
There she is, a beautiful woman with red hair; sleeping soundly beside him. The man swipes her bang then kisses her temple before walking out from bed. He opens the curtain of their room. It is still rather dark outside, but then again this is the usual time he wakes up.
So, the man goes into the bathroom, washes his face, brushes his teeth then changes his clothes. He stretches his muscle a little before decides there is still a lot of time before everyone else wake up, so maybe he should go out to run and get a little breath of fresh air.
He walks to the front door, but stop in front of another room. He opens the door as quietly as possible then spots two children sleeping peacefully on bunk beds. He can't hold his smile but he doesn't want to disturb their slumber so he closes the door again.
With his running shoes on, he opens the front door and goes outside of his quiet apartment. It is rather chilly, letting the fresh air washes his face, he goes to run.
Maybe running in the morning for long hours at the police station isn't a very wise decision, because the man can feel his head slowly throbs. But then again, it is nothing new. People can see his black eye bags, and they guess it correctly, he always has trouble with sleep. The man decides to take things slowly, rather than running in full force like he usually does.
The street is still empty around this hour. There are only a handful of people there, some are running just like him, others are sweeping their yards or throwing our the trash. Some people look at him, not everyday you see someone with pale white skin and white hair. He is used to that kind of attention. If people ask him whether he is an albino, he will say no. He is just naturally pale and has a rare condition of white hair. No problems under the sun for him, though he is rather more prone to heatstroke than normal people.
Once he feels his shirt damp with sweat, he turns back to the way to his home. The sky looks brighter now and his home will be livelier for any seconds now.
By the time he gets back, the apartment is still dark. Everyone is still sleeping, beside him. The man only shakes his head with a small smile. It is now just a little past 6 am, still early so it is okay to let them sleep more.
After a refreshing bath and a new set of comfortable shirt and jumper, the man turns to the kitchen. He opens the cupboard and refrigerator to check the food stock. Then he grabs a red apron from the corner and starts to cook.
A simple breakfast with toasts, jam, sunny eggs and some salad will be good for today, he decides. The man moves swiftly in the kitchen, while humming and smiling at the time. He is in a good mood today, ever since he wakes up. It is rare and he appreciates every seconds of it.
"Papa?"
He turns his eyes to the sound's source. A boy with similar white hair but more rosy skin is walking to him with sleepy eyes.
"Hey Mieru, I see you have woken up too," the man says. The boy just yawns and the man holds his chuckle.
"Where is Mama? Is she still sleeping?" the boy asks.
"Yeah, she is. Can you help me to wake her and Eri up? The breakfast will be ready in a few moments," he adds. The sleepy boy nodes quietly and walks to the bedroom.
The father sighs with a small smile then continues to prepare the breakfast. With some fresh tea leaves and hot water, he also prepares tea for him and his wife. It is their routine, he is a tea lover while his wife finally adapted to his taste after years. Not everyone likes to drink tea in the morning, most prefer coffee, but the man always likes tea better.
And moreover, coffee just gives him headaches.
When he finishes serving the breakfast at the table, he turns to the clock.
Mieru sure takes a long time waking up his mother and sister.
The man takes off his apron and walks out of the kitchen. As expected, the kid and now with his sister, is sleeping together with their mom on the bed. The man covers his mouth with his hand. They just look so cute together, his wife and children. So, he takes out his phone and take a picture of them.
They looks so peaceful, he feels a bit bad but he has to wake them up.
"Mieru, Eri, wake up or you guys will be late for school," He shakes them gently. His daughter just turns but then hugs her mother and continue to sleep.
"Reimi, I know you are awake. Please rise from the bed, you have to go to work too," he calls his wife now.
She smiles, a beautiful smile that he loves very much, and opens her eyes.
"I'm still sleepy," she says.
"The kids need to wake up now. It is eight o'clock, they will be late," he adds.
"What!? Eight o'clock!? Why you didn't wake me up sooner!? I have class duty this morning!" Unexpectedly, Mieru wakes up instantly. But then he turns to see the clock and pouts at his father.
"It is still a little past seven!" he complains and the man can't help but laughs at his son behavior.
"I know, but you need to wake up," he says and pats Mieru's head.
"Now, what about the sleeping beauty we have here. Will you wake up with a kiss?" the mother teases her little daughter. The daughter with long red hair giggles but refuses to open her eyes.
"From Papa?" she asks. The daughter is quiet.
"From Mama?" she asks again. Once again, the daughter is quiet.
"Oh I know, from Onii-chan right? Onii-chan, Eri needs your kiss to wake her up," her mother calls her son who still pouting beside the bed.
"Come on, Eri. I need to go to school earlier than usual, if you don't want to wake up now, I will leave you and go to school alone," he simply says before he get out from his parent's bedroom.
"No! Onii-chan don't leave Eri alone!" Eri instantly wakes up and hurriedly after her older brother.
"Since when he able to threaten her like that?" the father asks in confusion.
"He is different from you," the wife adds with a little laugh. The man just shakes his head at their behavior.
"I thought I have asked you to wake me up in the morning to prepare breakfast, Iishiro-san."
Now, that is the demanding tone from his wife, the one which sends shiver down his spine every time he hears it.
"You were sleeping so peacefully, so I felt bad to wake you up, Reimi" he tries to explains. His wife pouts in a similar way of his son earlier did.
"You have been working so hard for the past three days. And once you get a day off, rather than sleeping more, you just went your way to dote your wife and children. What can I do with you? Where is my turn to dote on you?" she retorts back.
That is the most cutest reason for her to be mad, Iishiro can't help but laughs and kisses her cheek lovingly. Reimi sighs and peck on his lips then she hugs him.
"How is your sleep last night?"
"Peaceful."
"Good, I'm glad to hear that," Reimi sighs with a relieved expression .
"Now, lets get breakfast. Mieru did say he has a morning duty today. He is such a responsible kid for his age."
"He gets that from you," Reimi teases him and Iishiro just laughs to hide his embarrassment.
IoI
"Slow down, son! You don't need to be in such hurry, you still have enough time," Iishiro reminds his eldest son.
"Yeah, but I also have to feed the goldfish," Mieru says while chewing on his food as fast as possible.
"The goldfish?" Iishiro asks back.
"Yeah, our class has goldfish. There are three of them," Mieru explains again. Iishiro just nods while Reimi looks like she has known. He frowns to her with a silent question 'so elementary schools have goldfish in classes?' she smiled back to him with silent answer 'yes, they have, since long time ago, Iishiro-san.'
Iishiro just tilts his head in confusion, then again his childhood is not so normal so he might have been missing so many things.
"I'm finished!" Mieru shouts then put away the dirty plate on dish washer before grabbing his bag and prepares to dash off.
"No! Onii-chan! Wait for me!" Eri certainly can't eat as fast as her older brother. She is a slow eater and likes to play with her food before eating it. She try to eat faster before also dashing out of the table without cleaning her dish.
"She is so much like you," Iishiro smiles at his daughter antics while cleaning Eri's dirty dish.
"Yes, she is cute just like me," Reimi adds. Iishiro walks to the front door and finds Mieru has been waiting Eri all this time in front of the door with his shoes on.
"Come on!" he says.
So he doesn't leave her, Iishiro smiles at that.
"Now, becareful. Don't run too fast, you will upset your stomach. Hold Eri's hand when you cross the street-"
"Yes Dad, I know," Mieru cuts him before Iishiro can talk any further. It makes Iishiro wonders whether his son starts to enter a rebellious stage, sometimes calling him Papa then changes back to Dad, it is confusing but he doesn't mind it.
"It is your day off right?" Eri asks him while she put on her shoes.
"Yes," the father answers.
Eri smiles brightly, it makes Iishiro feels bad because he has been so busy and hasn't paying much attention to his children.
"Come on, Eri. Dad, see you later."
"Bye bye!" Eri waves before she follows her older brother.
"Becareful," Iishiro says and watches the door closes
He sighs and turns back to the kitchen. His wife is still chilling there with a cup of warm tea.
"For a second there you looks like a house husband," she teases him.
"You didn't see them off," he brushes off her tease. Maybe he can be a good house husband, but he is an active policeman right now, no plan to resign anytime soon.
"I see them off everyday, sometimes it is your turn," she adds with a playful eyes. Iishiro smiles then drink his tea.
"I need to go to work soon too," Reimi says while glancing at the clock.
"So, how is your work? Anything new?" Iishiro asks her wife.
"Nothing new, a few new coworkers here and there, it is as busy as usual in the delivery company," she answers him. He nods quietly.
"But, my coworker friends are mad to me recently."
"Huh, why?" he asks with worried face.
"Because when I told them about how you like to prepare breakfast whenever you can, they said I'm bragging my loving husband in front of them."
"….wasn't you bragging?"
"Yes, I was bragging. They deserve it. They mocked me, 'it must be hard to marry a policeman right?' or 'you must be lonely' then 'do you want to go to blind date with us next weekend'."
Iishiro chokes on his tea and coughs hard.
"There, there," Reimi pats his back gently. "Don't worry, they were just joking in the last part, but I still declined it."
Once the coughing subdue, Iishiro looks at his wife with worried face. He needs to admit, he has been so busy these days. Even if he is not a police detective, but there is a huge case in the town and every police is busy regardless their ranks and jobs.
"Sorry," he timidly says.
Reimi sighs. "You should have faith on me, Iishiro-san. Like I will cheat on you when I know you are working so hard for our little family," Reimi says then kisses her husband's cheek.
Iishiro feels so grateful. It must be hard to be his wife. He barely has days off, he often work until midnight and so on.
Yet, there she is, a strong wife who accepts his everything. So, he kisses her deeply. His hand caresses her check while he angling his head into better position.
"Iishiro-san, I need to go to work," Reimi adds with blushing cheeks.
Iishiro mumbles quietly, still busy kissing her face.
"I love you so much. If only I have better payment, I want to have another kid with you," he says after pecking her lips for one last time.
"Iishiro-san!" Reimi whines with a blushing face.
He just laughs and finally she laughs along as well.
Sometimes he still can't believe this is all happening to him. If someone said to him 10 years ago, that he would marry an amazing loving woman and have two adorable kids, he would say it was only a dream. An unreachable dream for him. The world felt so dark and cold. He had so many issues and a troubling past. He had never imagined he would have all of this.
"I'm so happy," he mumbles with a soft smile.
"I'm happy too," she replies back.
Now, here he is, a peaceful morning with his loving family.
End?
1146 as a doting husband and father. Too OOC?
I still want to write about how they first met. Anyone want it to continue?
