Baby Care Package
~Peek a Boo~

Playing games with the small child caused a great deal of mirth for Gin, simply because he enjoyed seeing a smile plastered on the child's face. Toshiro would frown every single time that Ichimaru's face disappeared behind his hands, and then a fit of giggles would come with the silver haired youth uncovered his eyes.

However, there was only so long that such a game would cause entertainment for a small child. Eventually, deep down, he knew that the small child, who was a toddler now, would no longer be receptive to the hiding of the face and would realize that Gin was still there even though his face was hidden.

And one day, he felt Toshiro crawl over to him. Placing his hands over his face, he hid his face. "Where am I?" He then opened them again, two bright teal eyes filled with curiosity. He then covered them again. "Where am I?"

Instead of a giggling fit, he felt small hands pulling at his shinigami uniform and he could feel the small child lifting his body up, balancing on his two feet. Suddenly, two small hands tried prodding at Gin's hands, to which the young shinigami simply pulled them away. "I guess you know I'm here, huh?"

Ichimaru felt a small tide of sadness at the idea that the game was gone and over, but then he let out a laugh as Toshiro fell backwards, flat onto his bottom. "Silly Shiro. I guess you'll be walking soon."

At that, to his surprise, Toshiro covered his own eyes. At first Ichimaru blinked a couple of times, but then spoke up. "Where's Stinky Shiro?"

The two baby hands popped away from the small child's face, a huge smile on his face. Toshiro giggled as Gin couldn't help saying. "Peek a boo."

Author's note – I think that peek a boo is a relatively new game, not to mention I also think that it is... how to put it...mostly Western. But still...
