I do not own Skip Beat!
Hi guys, I'm so sorry for not updating for such a long time, honestly I'm having one of those writer's block phases, I kinda struggled to write this chapter lol, well I don't promise you new chapters frequently, I'm running out of inspiration, but hopefully it'll get better soon, Actually, I wrote this chapter thanks to a suggestion from MyuPanChan, so if you're reading this, I know it's not exactly what you talked about in your review but I'd like to thank you for inspiring this chapter, which is dedicated to you. As always, I'd like to ask you to please informe me if there are any mistakes, or if you have any complaints; or suggestions/requests (pretty please?). Alright that's it, I hope you'll like this!
Ch 12 : Attention!
Touma-kun was a bit weirded out by the huge body snoring next to him, he couldn't sleep and it made him very tired and irritated, so naturally he started crying, which made his daddy –and the source of his discomfort- wake up.
"Touma? What's wrong buddy?" Ren asked as he picked up the baby.
Not much later, Kyoko walked inside Touma's room, took the boy from his father's arms, and started soothing him "I bet you were snoring and scared him to death" she whispered angrily.
"Well, maybe if you didn't kick me out of the room, I wouldn't have had to come here in the first place" he retorted.
"No, sleep on the couch is what you were supposed to do, not invade my son's room!" she glared dangerously at him, with her Mio glare 2.0
"OUR son…,well, I'm sorry I didn't act according to your plan Mrs-Tsuruga" he said, annoyed "I'll be going to the couch right away."
"No need to do that I'm taking Touma, you can have the crib" she said before storming off the room.
So what caused this charged disagreement between Touma-kun's parents you might ask? Well, let's go back a few hours in time.
Ren was reading a script and Kyoko was running around the house, speaking to him every now and then, and he would nod, but of course he wasn't listening, too engrossed in his script to do so, later that day she called him and asked him to come home early for what they had planned, he didn't really understand but he knew that if he told her he didn't know what she was talking about she would be pissed at him for not paying attention to her while she was talking, so, ever the improvisor, he decided to go home and just go with the flow, let her lead and discover the said plan gradually, what could possibly go wrong?
Well, basically….EVERYTHING!
He was now facing the latest version of Mio "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T KNOW? I SPENT THE ENTIRE WEEK REMINDING YOU AND TELLING YOU HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS AND YOU STILL DIDN'T REMEMBER TO BRING THE CAKE?" she was…furious.
The reason? Well, apparently it was Yashiro's birthday and Kyoko had planned this huge party for him and she had ordered a big cake, which Ren was supposed to fetch, then he would call the B-day boy and ask him to come over for a work thing and they would all surprise him, the thing is, the place Kyoko had ordered the cake from was at a two hours drive distance, and it was already 6PM, so they had to move the celebration to a nearby restaurant that was available for such a big reservation,since all their friends were coming too and Kyoko had prepared a simple dinner, so that it wouldn't outshine the cake, but the surprise was wasted, and therefore Kyoko's hard work as well.
Once they were back from the birthday dinner, Kyoko turned to Ren, with a glare that had Natsu's bullying intensity and Mio's I'll-Send-You-To-The-Grave cruelty.
Ren gulped.
Touma gulped.
The poor baby had never seen his mother looking so … scary, even when he ruined her lipstick collection, even the scary nurse that gave him his vaccine shots wasn't that terrifying.
Daddy was in big trouble, he felt sorry for what was going to happen to his foolish father.
"Ren." Kyoko called, he just looked up not daring to speak, "Since you seem to not notice my words, or my presence, I think you shouldn't sleep in the room tonight, after all it would be tragic if something happened to you in your sleep … while you couldn't notice." she said, her tone freezing the entire house, thank god Touma was wearing diapers, is what the baby thought, may be daddy should wear some too.
A/N: I hope this chapter was good enough, guys please if you have any ideas I'd be glad to hear them, message me or leave them in the reviews I'll do my best to honor them.
