[[A/N]] Hoshiko/Yuusei is a fictional ship child of Yuuichi and Ranmaru. He is an OC of my dearest sisters and I love him very much. All fics for this ship are set in their early/mid adult years.
Kirino leaned against the door frame, hand over his mouth, and held back laughter as he watched the scene in front of him. In the middle of the family room was an upright toddler with his tiny chubby arms crossed and his tall disgruntled father, also arms crossed. The stand off wouldn't have been nearly as funny if it wasn't for the lost look in Yuuichi's eyes and stern face on Hoshiko.
"Hey!" shouted the tiny nonthreatening toddler.
"Hay is for horses!" was the confident and sassed retort from Yuuichi.
"No, hey is for 'why'd you do that'!"
This time, Kirino let out a snort, breaking into cheerful laughter. Yuuichi turned to give his husband a sour look. As cute as this was, Yuuichi had never been in trouble with his son before and Kirino was not helping. "Ranmaru…."
"Huh?" came a giggle from the doorway.
Before anything else could be said between adults, a tiny foot stomped lightly on the ground. Both parents looked down as he tried to look super upset.
"You promised me a cookie!" Hoshiko fussed.
Yuuichi felt his pride drop a little as Kirino laughed again.
"Just agree with him, baby.. You did promise." Kirino chimed delightfully.
Finally the taller man sighed and leaned down to talk to his son more personally. "I'm sorry, Yuusei.. I'll get you whatever cookie you want to have, okay?"
The toddlers stance softened immediately and his hands came together, nervously. "Can I have milk with it?" was the meek question.
Yuuichi smiled at this and pet his sons wild hair. "Of course you can.."
Finally he picked up his, much happier, child and the three of them walked to the kitchen.
Yuuichi looked back at Kirino with a half-hearted scowl and gave a very playful complaint. "You need to agree with me more.."
