overused trope but IDGAF. Just a warning, some characters used not in the anime yet.
A dad and his child were standing in front of a pair of double doors leading into a classroom.
Eijun looked down at his son tenderly and asked, "Koushuu, aren't you excited for your first day of preschool?"
The tiny figure stared silently at the cement below him with a frown marring his face. His grasp on the straps of his backpack tightened.
"I'm scared." He confessed in a timid voice. A tear drop threatening to fall down his face.
Eijun heaved the little boy up into his arms and wiped the tears away with the handkerchief in his pocket.
"Hey, hey, you'll be okay. My good friend Harucchi is a teacher here. I'm sure you'll feel better once you meet him. Let's go inside." He reached toward the door knob and proceeded to walk in.
"Hey Harucchi!" He gleefully greeted.
Haruichi got up from his desk and walked over with a smile. "Eijun, how are you?" He asked back. Haruichi of course didn't miss the blonde child in his arms.
Koushuu grew even smaller curling himself into Eijun's chest. He hid his face away from the pink-haired stranger.
"You must be Koushuu. I heard a lot about you from your dad."
"I'm Kominato-sensei, nice to meet you."
The aura Haruichi emits is a gentle loving kind and it actually does help Koushuu open up. He lifted his face up to look down at the slender hand that was sticking out toward him. Koushuu reached out and allowed the other to shake his miniature hand.
Seeing that his son seemed less anxious than before, he decided he should head back. "Okay buddy. I have to go open up the cafe before customers arrive. You'll be fine now, right?" Koushuu thought for a moment, but considered his dad and proceeded to nod his head. A gentle smile spread across Eijun's face. Before leaving, he did their daily custom, which is rubbing their foreheads together as a sign of endearment. Eijun finally put Koushuu down.
"Have fun, alright! I'll come to pick you up later." He waved as he headed out the door.
In a different location stood a man clad in a dark navy business suit with briefcase in hand. His right foot tapping impatiently as he looked down at his wrist-watch.
"Takuma, hurry up!" He yelled up the stairs.
"I don't know what toy to take!" A higher pitched voice yelled back.
Kazuya sighed. "Anything is fine. Now hurry up or I'll be late for work." Seconds ticked by until his son eventually decided on his choice.
"Okay, I'm ready!" Takuma slinged on his backpack and enthusiastically sprinted down the stairs. He hopped after the last step. Sticking out of his backpack was his prized action figure.
Once he caught up to his dad, the two quickly left the house to be on their way to the preschool.
A tiny glasses wearing boy burst through the doors and ran inside the classroom with a grin plastered onto his face.
"Oh Miyuki, you're finally here." called out the teacher.
"Yeah, this little guy couldn't figure out what toy to take with him today. I mean, aren't there other toys here?"
Haruichi chuckled. "Kids will be kids."
He looked at his watch again and his eyes bulged seeing the time. "Sorry for the hasty greeting, I have to get going."
Kazuya walked over to his son and went down on one knee in front of him. "You be good now, all right? And try not to give Kominato-sensei too much trouble." he pleaded on the last part.
"Got it!" He smiled back.
Thinking he was probably still going to be a handful for the pink haired teacher, Kazuya was satisfied he at least understood. "Good. I'll be back to pick you up later." As he was lifting himself back up, he rubbed the top of Takuma's head with his hand.
When Kazuya finally walked out the door, Haruichi turned toward Takuma. "Takuma-chan, if you want you can go play with-" Realizing Haruichi was talking to no one, he looked around to see the boy was already where Koushuu was at. Said boy was on the playmats coloring in a book.
"Hi, what's your name?" His booming voice startled the other child and he turned to see who could have such a loud voice. He realized the glasses wearing boy was waiting for a response.
In a quiet voice, he replied, "It's...Koushuu.."
"Cool, I'm Takuma!" Koushuu went silent again.
Takuma tilted his head to the side when an idea hit him.
"I know! If you want, we can play with my favorite action figure, the Destiny Task Force Five's Leader, Astral Spark!"
Koushuu's eyes lit up recognizing the hero. He nodded his head back in agreement.
Takuma's smile grew even larger if it was possible.
They ended up playing together even when more kids started to pour in.
"Thanks for coming!" Eijun waved to some customers as they left the cafe.
He looked up at the clock on the wall noticing it was almost time to pick his son up. He wiped a few more tables down before taking off his work uniform and changing into more casual clothes. He walked out the door after putting up a sign behind the glass stating he would be out.
Walking toward the preschool, he thought about how Koushuu's first day went. His thoughts were calm until Eijun started to worry about him.
"Did he have fun?"
"Was he still scared without me around?"
"Did any kids bully him?"
Thoughts like these kept circling around his head. He began to quicken his pace to try to get to Koushuu as soon as possible.
Eijun turned the corner quickly but not cautiously enough for he ended up suddenly bumping into someone's back.
He heard the other person curse. "Are you fuckin kidding me?"
Eijun immediately let out a brisk apology. "Sorry, I was just in a rush."
The other person turned around staring down angrily at the large brown stain covering the entire front of his white long-sleeved button up shirt.
Eijun's jaw dropped. Eyes widened aware of what his carelessness had caused. Now he really felt like apologizing. "Oh my god, I am so, so, so sorry."
Eijun thought he heard the other man about to speak but his mind was in too much of panic mode to catch anything being said.
He felt he should explain himself.
In a frenzied voice he went on. "I was just worried about being late in picking my son up from preschool and-"
"Hold on." The man interrupted. Eijun shut his mouth allowing the other to continue. "Do you mean Sunny Heart Preschool?"
He blinked a few times. Eijun wasn't sure how else to respond. He scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, how did you know?"
"I was on my way to pick up my son from there too."
Eijun grinned at the coincidence. "For real? Hey, why don't we walk there together?" Almost forgetting he was the one to make the man spill his drink, Eijun rescinded the idea. "Then again...I can understand if you don't want to since I was the one who made you..drop..your coffee…" Eijun started to trail off.
"No no, it's all right. Seriously. I was going to go home after picking my son up anyways." Kazuya tried to reassure with a smile.
Eijun sighed a breath of relief placing a hand on his chest.
Right before they headed off, Eijun stuck his hand out as a friendly gesture. "I'm Sawamura Eijun by the way."
The other man shook his hand back and replied. "Miyuki Kazuya. A pleasure."
Finally off the clock, Kazuya began filing his documents away.
"Going out already?" A voice called out from his green-haired friend, Kuramochi.
"Yeah, gotta pick my son up from preschool now."
"Alright, see you tomorrow."
Kazuya did a quick wave as he began to walk out of the office.
Before actually leaving the building, he decided to grab a cup of coffee from the break room. Ten minutes away from reaching his destination, he noticed the lid of his coffee cup popped off.
He set down his briefcase temporarily to fix the loose lid on the paper cup.
In the midst of adjusting it, a force pushed him forward causing the drink to fall all over his chest.
It took him a moment to realize there was a massive stain covering the entirety of the front of his work shirt. His temper started to bubble just like how the coffee was earlier when he first poured it. He heard the person behind him apologizing.
Luckily, the drink had cooled down since the time he left the office but he was still pissed. How can they be so careless? He turned himself around about to give the idiot a piece of his mind until his words died out. In his vision, he saw the most gorgeous eye-catching beauty standing in front of him.
His mind was internally silenced taking in the person's features. His golden eyes shone brighter than a sunflower's petals, dark brown hair looked soft to the touch, slender figure with sturdy arms hidden underneath his rolled up sleeves, and those lush lips. He wondered how all of that combined would look underneath him when-
His trail of thoughts halted when his ears picked up the words 'Son' and 'Preschool'. He then realized the man in front of him was explaining why he was in such a rush.
Kazuya interrupted the other's apology asking if it was the same preschool his son attended.
He was surprised it was. After getting the situation out of the way, they agreed to walk together toward the preschool. Kazuya was then glad he didn't let his temper scare the other away.
"I'm Sawamura Eijun by the way." That smile.
He looked down at his hand and returned the greeting.
He smirked. "Miyuki Kazuya. A pleasure." A pleasure indeed.
The two adults arrived to the preschool and walked through the door.
Haruichi was about to welcome Eijun but then was caught off guard to see Miyuki walking beside him.
"Hey Harucchi!" he yelled across the room.
"Harucchi?" Kazuya didn't mean for that to slip out but since he was heard, Eijun answered him.
"Yeah, me and Harucchi have known each other since high school." He stated while slinging an arm around his pink-haired friend." Haruichi never ceasing to blush at his friend's overly affectionate nature.
Takuma was the first to call out to his parent and wave. He excitedly pulled Koushuu along with him to show him off.
"Dad! Dad! This is my new friend I made today! His name is Koushuu and he also likes Destiny Task Force Five and we're both four years old and we both really like pudding and-"
"Alright, alright slow down there before you run out of breath (Again)." He said with his hands going in a wavy up and down motion.
Eijun leaned toward his son with both hands on his knees and asked, "Is that true Koushuu? Did you really make a friend?" Koushuu nodded shyly but Eijun didn't miss the tiny smile on his face.
"Okay, now go get your stuff ready." Kazuya ordered.
"Roger!" Takuma yelled back with a salute. He immediately went to retrieve his belongings and returned to his father.
"Thanks for today. We'll see you tomorrow Kominato-sensei."
"Bye Harucchi!"
"Take care, all of you." He shouted back while untying the back of his blue apron.
Each adult walked out hand in hand with their sons.
They walked together to a certain distance until they reached an empty crossroad.
Eijun pointed with the opposite hand holding Koushuu's. "We live this way. It's actually that little cafe down the street. You guys should visit sometime."
"Sounds good. We'll see you guys tomorrow?" Kazuya asked. He knew he would, but still felt like asking would be good.
"Of course." Eijun replied smiling back.
Eijun and Koushuu walked a bit further until Eijun shouted, "Nice meeting you guys again!" as he waved.
Kazuya waved back and headed off to the opposite direction.
There was a comfortable silence between father and son. But the silence was interrupted by none other than Takuma. "I really like Koushuu. And I also like his dad! He seems really nice." He grinned toward his father.
Kazuya looked down at his son and concurred with the statement. An amused chuckle slipped out. "I do too." Although my like is pretty different.
Hoped you guys enjoyed it. I had a bit more written but I decided stopping here would be good.
I really liked the idea of small Koushuu from my other fic. So I decided to write a story around that
