Author's Notes: So far, so cute. Hopefully, Maka does not come in to see her precious weapon covered in booboos... That sounds like a stupid word but I can't help but say it. Booboo...
Enjoy.
Kid sighed as he finished cleaning their cuts and Black Star was ranting about how he could take it like a man. Soul was too busy trying to bite his bar of soap but quickly placed it somewhere else. The two infants were on top of the bathroom counter not crying anymore, thank God.
"That's about it. I swear I can't take you guys anywhere without trouble..."
"Where's my elephant!" Black Star exclaimed while bopping Kid's arm with his small fists. The shinigami paid no mind to this as he out the antibiotics away.
"I thought you wanted a cow?"
"Well now I wan' an elephant so give it to me!"
"You two will be the end of me one day..." Kid picked up the two rags he had and was about to go and put them in the hamper when Soul clung onto his dress shirt. He sweated when the little scythe held quite a strong grip. Last time he checked, Soul turns inanimate when becoming a weapon and he and Black Star are the ones that train every single day so there should be no reason why he is having a hard time getting the baby's fists off his dress shirt.
"Soul, let go." He said and this only made the little weapon hold harder.
"No." Soul responded and Kid raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry?"
"Ngh... Noooo!" Great, now he was pulling the thing Black Star does whenever he does not want to do something. Looks like Soul has just found his role-model.
"Let go. Now!" Kid commanded and this made the weapon slowly let go before holding his arms up.
"Up." The shinigami sweated.
"I won't be gone long."
"Up." Kid knew he could not give up like last time and slowly backed away. As expected, Soul began whimpering and he did not want to increase the headache he was already having.
Black Star looked around before picking up Liz's toothbrush and put it in Soul's lap.
" Here, Pway wit' 'dis." He said quickly while flashing Kid a thumb's up. The shinigami sighed in relief and left just as Soul picked up the brush in awe.
Dumping the rags in the hamper in his room, Kid frowned before fixing a portrait that was a little off. Several moments passed before he gave a satisfied grin and then realized that he had left Black Star and Soul in the bathroom. Sweating, Kid came into the bathroom quickly and was relieved to find Black Star eating toothpaste while Soul was chewing on the soap he had hid earlier. Walking up, he took the soap from Soul and threw it away, now knowing that it was contaminated. However, the meister smirked to himself as he put Liz's toothbrush back in its cup. He knew that Soul had managed to get his saliva all over it and figured that this could be payback for leaving him in this mess. All though, he slightly did not mind taking care of his friends.
'I guess they are... kind of... cute.' He thought guilty while looking down to see Soul biting his dress shirt and Black Star trying to climb up his arm. With a sigh, he properly picked up the two babies and carried them back in the living room, feeling a pang in his chest when he was heavily reminded to call in the maintenance later on. He could not risk any of his friends coming in to see that he was having a hard time keeping the two boys in control. This is exactly what the girls were trying to do.
He placed them on the couch and picked up the house phone on the table next to the furniture. Beside that matter, he was tired of having to look at the asymmetry and not being able to do anything about it. As he spoke about the possible arrangments to have his living room fixed as soon as possible, Black Star was making funny faces at Soul, who was giggling madly. Kid glanced to the side to see why he was hearing non-stop babbles and saw Black Star in the middle of making another creepy face. Smiling exasperatedly, he agreed to the clerk's offer of having the maintenance arrive at around five. Once he put the phone down on its charger, Soul started crawling toward the arm of the couch and pulling at it. Black Star began babbling nonsense about being able to make his 'lowly-subjects laugh' and Kid had the same thought of why he had given in to watching over his friends.
*riiiiiiip*
"...Oopsies."
Annoying friends that is.
"Daddy..." Kid froze and slowly looked at Soul, who was staring with big red, observing eyes.
"...I-I'm not-"
"Daddy!" The infant squealed while raising his hands in the air. This stoned Kid, since he was barely 17, and a left-eye twitched.
"I'm not-"
"Daddy? Where!?" Black Star screamed before crawling to Soul and looking straight at Kid. "Yay! He weally is alive!"
"I'm not-"
"Daddy, can I ge' my coowkies?"
"I wan' my elephant!" Kid took a very slow and deep breath before sitting on the couch as well. Soul turned around from the ripped armchair to crawl onto Kid's leg.
"Daddy. Daddy. Daddy." Black Star flopped into his other leg and began chanting along with Soul. Kid could not deal with his headache and seriously needed to go to bed-
That's it!
"Dad-" Both infants suddenly stopped when Kid swiftly stood up while holding them in his arms and began heading to a guest room opposite of his room.
Black Star seemed to think they were going to play again or something because he was screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Yay! I get to meet Spongeboob! Where's Spongeboob!?"
Soul was too busy chewing on Kid's collar to notice anything. Kid, however, placed them on the large, luxourious bed and brought up a huge comforter, much to their dismay.
"Daddy." The weapon whimpered but Kid kicked a mental bunny before moving on.
"No! I'm not tired!" Black Star complained loudly while dragging down the sheets. Kid only brough them back up and made sure to tuck in the ends of the blanket so they could be nice and snuggled(trapped) in the bed.
"Here, Soul." Kid shoved his stress ball into Soul's hands, who squealed in delight before gnawing on the poor item. "And Black Star..." Said infant looked wearily at Kid's wrist watch dangling back and forth before his eyes. His large blue sparkling eyes stared determinedly at the swinging object, trying to catch every movement.
"Stop moowving tha' or I can'... see it... well..." His eyelids finally hung heavy over his eyes and Kid sighed in relief before quietly leaving the room. He stole one more glance at Soul, who had his eyes closed and his gnawing slowed down dazedly. Smiling exasperately at how unknowingly cute they were being, he closed the door and set ahead to fix his headache. Namely sleep until hell freezes over.
Hey, kid had a rough day. Give him a break.
...
It was so peaceful. So quiet and tranquil without having any worries. It is funny how he can have these thoughts while he is dreaming too. Ah well.
And before he could get started on his paperwork about how beautiful symmetry is, something suddenly woke Kid up from writing down "Everything."
He sat up and tiredly rubbed his eyes while looking down to see a dark mass lying on his bed. He blinked tiredly and gained a clear vision of Soul, who was out cold and clinging onto his torso rather possessively. Sighing to himself, he stood up and carried the baby into his room and put him back next to Black Star before going back to his to sleep.
Moments later, he was awaken again to see Soul back on his stomach this time and dazedly thought with no progress befroe going through the routine again. Once he made sure Soul was tightly secured in the blankets, Kid went back to his room to return to his dream. It worked.
Then suddenly, he was awaken by a mass now resting on his chest and sighed before going back to sleep. He was too tired to do the same thing. Beside, Soul is only sleeping so what harm is he doing in that? So Kid closed his eyes and was back into dreamland along with Soul. The baby did feel warm on his chest, feeling the tiny beating heart against his own normal one-
And most unfortunately, Kid blinked awake at once when he heard muffled wailing. He rubbed his eyes and carefully placed Soul on the other side of the bed before going to the other room where Black Star was. He opened the door and was surprised to see Black Star crying loudly while clutching the sheets that was in Soul's previous spot. Quickly figuring out where the problem is, Kid walked up to the crying infant, hearing his wailing cease at once and saw small arms raise. The shinigami picked up the small meister before carrying him over to his room and placing him next to Soul. As he got in bed as well, Black Star grabbed onto Soul's shirt with one tiny fist before slowly falling back asleep. They really are inseparatable.
Kid went back to his dream of Black Star riding a dragon that strangely looked like Liz.
