"Say Ahhh," Aidou commanded. "Ahh," Ayumu dolled, sticking out his tongue as Aidou shown a light down the boy's throat. "Alright Ayumu, you can close it now." Ayumu snapped his jaw shut and began to swing his legs against the kitchen counter he was currently perching on. Zero leaned on the counter beside his son, straightening Ayumu's shirt from when Aidou had gone under it with the stethoscope. "So is he ready for school Aidou?"
The blonde packed away his instruments and nodded. "The little bugger is perfectly healthy, a clean bill of health. Second grade does not stand a chance under his reign." Ayumu rolled his eyes. "Uncle Aidou, I will not be in second grade long enough to start a reign, I will be moving into third grade soon. Tell Mommy I should not have to go to second grade at all." Aidou held up his hands in surrender after shrugging on a dinner coat. "I am not stepping into that Ayumu."
Zero sighed and rolled his eyes just as his son had. "Ayumu, we went over this. The school will not let you skip any more grades until you have completed at least a semester of second grade." His five year old son huffed in frustration and crossed his arms. "Ayumu Kuran, are you pouting?"
The three looked up at the new voice as Kaname walked into the room. Ayumu instantly unfolded his arms and unpinched his eyebrows. "No daddy, Kuran and Kiryuu blood does not allow pouting." The boy's parents laughed before Kaname pecked Zero on the cheek in greeting. "Oh geez Kaname, do you have to be lovey dovey in front of me?" Aidou asked in mock offense. Kaname laughed and wrapped his arms around Zero's middle and rested his chin on the hunter's shoulder. "Hey, I have not been home all day and just because you do not keep a consistent lover does not mean you have to be jealous Aidou," Kaname teased.
"I am perfectly happy with my hundred or more admirers," he scoffed. "You know," he said as he nudged Ayumu, shifting closer so the boy could look him in the eye, "your father used to have hundreds of admirers too but then he settled for this guy." He pointed toward Zero and Ayumu looked over at his parents in confusion. "But Daddy is happy with Mommy." Kaname nuzzled his husband's neck," I am extremely happy with mommy Ayumu," he hummed before pulling Zero closer to him and stealing another kiss. Ayumu and Aidou turned to each other and stuck out their tongues in mock disgust. "Come on Ayumu, let's get ready for the party tonight, preferably before your father chokes Zero with his tongue."
Aidou helped Ayumu off the counter and boy ran ahead, calling for Aidou to follow so he could show him his new school books. Aidou turned around at the door. "At least wait until tomorrow while the kid is in school before you start shagging. Why did I ever let you two be parents?" he teased. Zero shot him a rude gesture, never breaking away from Kaname's lips. "Yeah yeah Zero, just don't burn the chicken for tonight," Aidou said as he followed Ayumu to his room.
The parents finally broke apart but not without Kaname whispering lewd ideas in Zero's ear, already planning for their first time to have the house to themselves in a long time. Zero shivered with anticipation before gently pushing Kaname away. "As excited as I am Kaname, I do have to finish cooking for tonight. Aidou took longer than expected with Ayumu's check-up and I am behind." Kaname nodded but leaned in again. "I could always help you cook," he offered, pulling the hunter closer by the cooking apron's straps. Zero stopped Kaname's lips from reaching his own. "Hell no Kaname, you are going nowhere near my oven, stove, or cooking utensils. I remember the New Year's Eve you tried to cook. The condo almost caught on fire. My fat, seven month pregnant self had to help you put it out."
"Neff miff fault," Kaname huffed behind Zero hand. Zero laughed and removed his hand and instead grabbed Kaname by the chin before pecking him on the lips. "Sure it wasn't, but the answer is still no. Now, go get ready, Shiki and Takuma should be here any minute. Check on Ayumu too, make sure Aidou is not teaching him any bad habits." Kaname stuck out his bottom lip as if to pout. "Uh-huh-huh Kaname, Kuran blood does not allow pouting, you are the one that taught our son that," Zero scolded, waving a stirring spoon in front of Kaname's face. Kaname growled and slapped Zero's ass, making Zero jump. "I'll show you what Kuran blood can do tomorrow," he growled, quickly biting Zero's neck with blunt teeth before walking out of the room. Zero shook his head but continued to smile as he finished cooking.
After a quick shower and a change of clothes, Kaname began to walk into Ayumu's room but froze when he heard what Aidou was saying. "Yep, you slowly push it in. It might hurt at first but the pain only last for a couple of seconds. You soon get used to it and are okay with doing it with anyone or anything." Kaname was sure if he could be seen right now, his look would be deadly. By the now faded voice in his son's room, he was sure his idiot friend knew he was there. He took a deep breath and opened the door. Aidou sat across from Ayumu on the floor, an open book between them. The blonde paled and slowly stood up and walked out of the room. Kaname gave his confused son a smile and followed the noble, closing the door behind him. Aidou stood against the wall, waiting for whatever punishment Kaname was going to inflict but he honestly did not know the reason why the pureblood was so upset.
"Mind telling me why I should not slap you right now?" Kaname asked. Aidou gulped, "Well Kaname, maybe because you have not told me what I did wrong." Kaname's eyes grew wide with anger. "What you did wrong? Aidou, how about what you were telling my son right now? He is five! He will learn about all that when he is older and much more mature." Aidou blinked in confusion. "Kaname, he is mature. He was just curious so I told him how to do it."
"We, as in Zero and I, should be the one to tell him about that kind of thing. I think we would know more about it more than you anyway," Kaname hissed. Aidou tilted his head to the side, "Why would you and Zero know about blood drawing? Medically speaking of course." Kaname who had prepared to slap the noble froze. "Blood drawing, you were talking about blood drawing?" Aidou stood up straighter. "Of course, Ayumu had found one of my medical books last time he was over and was wondering how us doctors draw blood. What did you think we were talking about?" Kaname, the graceful pureblood who never got flustered, stepped away from his friend and coughed nervously. "N..nothing, say Aidou, why don't you go help Zero downstairs. I will help Ayumu get ready." Without another word, Kaname walked back into his son's room, leaving the noble seriously confused as he descended the stairs to help his hunter friend. "Weirdo," he mumbled. He decended the stairs as the door bell rang. "Aidou, will you get that?" Zero called from the kitchen. "Aye aye captain,"he called back. He opened the door and smiled at the new comers. "Hi Takuma! Were you able to drag Shiki away from his modeling for awhile?" Takuma smiled back and squeezed Shiki's hand. "Yep, we couldn't wait to see Ayumu, it's been awhile." Aidou nodded in agreement. "Well come on in, Kaname sent me down to help Zero in the kitchen. You guys can help me."
"Zero-kun! You're strange husband told me to come help you and I brought some extra hands," Aidou called as he entered the kitchen with Shiki and Takuma following. Zero turned on his heel and gave them a quick smile as he straightened his tie with one hand while pulling out a hot appetizer with the other. "Hey guys! Great, I could use some help. Shiki, do you mind grabbing the wine and start filling the glasses in the dining room?" Shiki nodded and sat off to do his task. "Thank you," Zero said as he picked up the main course in towel covered hands. "Okay, great now Takuma, will you grab those two bowels right there? Yeah, the salad and rice. Thank you."
"What about me Zero?" Aidou asked just as the doorbell rang. Zero pushed the door to the dining room open with his back. "You can go get that, Aidou." Aidou huffed. "Since when did I become your doorman?" he asked as he stalked toward the door. "Since you keep showing up to our house, making yourself comfortable, and questioning my husband's partner choice!"Zero called, obviously teasing. Aidou shrugged, "fair enough." He opened the door, instantly caught up in a tight hug. "Aidou, I have not seen you in forever!" Aidou gasped for breath as small arms squeezed tighter. "Kain, would you please tell your wife to control herself? I can't breathe!" Kain grinned as he pulled on his wife's petite frame. "Yuki honey, you are squeezing my cousin to death." Yuki stepped away, that goofy smile on her face. "But it is so good to see you Aidou, we are both always here to see my favorite nephew but we never cross paths. How are you doing?"
He closed the door behind them and found he could not help but smile at the petite pureblood, he had always been able to make him smile. "I am doing great Yuki, how about you? Is my mean cousin treating you well?" Yuki's smile suddenly widened. "He is great, he even gave me something wonderful but I will tell you when the others are with us."
"Uncle Kain, Aunt Yuki!" The two addressed vampires looked up the stairs as their nephew came down the stairs, his tie flying over his shoulder. His pureblood father, wearing the same color tie, descended the stairs behind him with a smile on his face. Ayumu stopped in front of the red headed vampire, his ruby eyes dancing with joy. "Uncle Kain, Uncle Kain, guess what? I can do it too!" The noble squatted down so that he was closer to eye level with the boy. "And what is it that you can do Ayumu?" Ayumu looked over his shoulder to his father, silently asking for permission. "Just be careful Ayumu," the pureblood instructed. Ayumu nodded vigorously and held out his hand in front of him, concentrating intently on his small palm. Kain waited patiently and his eyebrows arched when he felt a shift in the young boy's aura. Yuki clapped her hand over her mouth in surprise as small flames suddenly appeared on her nephew's fingers. Ayumu stayed concentrated on his hand despite the gasps around him. The flames morphed into one tongue of fire in the middle of his palm and only then did he relax as he held the flame toward his uncle. Kain smiled and waved his hand over the flame, using his abilities to twist the flame into the figure of a rose.
Ayumu's face broke into a wide grin. "Wow," he whispered in fascination. Yuki crouched next to her husband in front of Ayumu. "Now Ayumu, I think all of us are the ones who should be saying 'wow.' That is absolutely wonderful, we are all so proud of you."
An arm circled around Ayumu's waist as Zero kneeled next to his son, Shiki and his lover Takuma following behind. "He could not wait to show you Kain. He has been practicing conjuring all week." Ayumu leaned into his mother and held the fire rose in front of the hunter. "Mommy, I want you to have it but I don't want you to get burnt," he said grimly. Zero smiled and held his hand under his son's. "It's beautiful Ayumu, just because you wanted to give it to me makes me happy." Ayumu slowly nodded. "Okay Mommy, will you blow it out?" Zero nodded and blew out the flame in his son's hand. They all watched as the smoke dissipated through the air, all in a sense of wonder. Then it was broken as the door burst wide open, man wrapped in too much clothing standing in the doorway.
"Zero, my baby boy, we are here!" Ayumu giggled as Zero ducked his head and groaned. He patted his mother's silver head. "One night Mommy." Zero laughed as Ayumu tried to ease his "pain." He jumped out of the way just in time before Cross scooped up his grandson in his arms, making Ayumu squirm as Cross showered his face with kisses. "Papa, stop it! Mommy does not even kiss me that much." Cross twirled the boy around and balanced him on his hip. "That is because my son does not love you as much as your grandpa does."
Zero scoffed and turned to his sensei who had just stepped beside him. "I don't know how you live with him." Yagari pulled his cigar out of his mouth and stuffed it in his pocket. "Lots of love, and a lot of patience. Cross, let the boy down. He does not need you smothering him." Yagari took Aidou from his partner, rescuing the boy from more kisses. Kaname wrapped an arm around Zero's shoulders as their makeshift and blood family members mingled, updating each other on their lives. "What happened earlier?" Zero asked. "You were pissed then it just got dowsed." Kaname shifted nervously. "Oh nothing, just a misunderstanding. Are you ready to bring them all in?" he asked, desperate to forget his little mix up earlier. Zero studied him for a minute but nodded. "Alright guys, if you are ready, let's head to the dining room and eat the meal my beautiful meal my husband made all by himself," Kaname called out.
"Other words he would not let you into the kitchen huh?" Takuma teased. "Uh-huh, Daddy is not allowed to cook because Mommy says he is a hazard to our health in the kitchen," Ayumu said, taking hold of Yagari's hand as they went into the dining room. The guests laughed at the young boy's imitation of the hunter. Kaname tried not to blush and tousled his son's hair as he walked past into the dining room. When all were seated Kaname took the seat at the head of the table, Zero on his right, and Ayumu on his left. He raised his glass of wine as did the other guest. "I would like to thank you all for coming to celebrate Ayumu's last night of freedom before going to school. It is great to have such great friends and family members in our life and we wish you all the happiness in the world. Now, let's eat."
A chorus of 'cheers' circled the room and food was passed. Yuki suddenly stood up and cleared her throat, Kain rising with her. The guest looked up at the young pureblood expectantly. "Well since my husband is too shy to announce such great new in front of you, I will do the honors. Everyone, a new life will enter this world in nine months," she said proudly. Everyone clapped and hooted for the couple, Ayumu watching all the adults with fascination. "So this means I will have a cousin?" Kaname nodded and squeezed his son's hand. "Yes Ayumu, you will have a cousin." Ayumu seemed to ponder for a second before grabbing his fork to begin to eat. "Good, because Mommy has not given me a sibling yet and it is getting kind of boring."
Zero choked on his wine.
