Hello ol' chaps! Here comes another chapter back at you.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Vampire Knight because if I did, Zero and Aidou would be together and having lots of hot man sexing.
Warning: Not much. Ren's cuteness. Brief sex scene. Fluff. Comedy.
This popped into my head when I remembered the weekend I had to keep my niece (dubbed the little monster at the time). Needless to say the child was a freaking tornado. Enough of my rambling, onto the story!
Adventures in Babysitting
"Are you sure about this?" Aidou asked dubiously.
Zero nodded, looking back at their three-year-old son. "Yeah."
Aidou had won a trip to the mountains through a local contest that he ''just decided'' to enter. They were going to a special resort that had a strict ''No children allowed'' policy. They were going to be absent for four days. So that meant that they would have to spend four days away from their beloved son.
"Yuki will be able to handle Ren if she follows the list," he reassured his dubious mate. He loved Ren, truly he did, but they had a chance to go on a retreat and he would be damned if they stayed home because Aidou was unsure of Yuki's babysitting skills.
Aidou sighed and nodded resignedly. "I wish he could come."
Zero nodded, using the rearview mirror to look at their son, who was playing with Mr. Bearington. "You should probably be more worried about the kennel we left the cats in."
Yuki opened the door and beamed at them. "Hi you guys!" She embraced them and looked down sweetly at the small child. "Hi Ren!"
Ren beamed up at his 'auntie'. "Bonjour obasan!" He entered Yuki's humble apartment, dragging his favorite plush toy behind him.
She stepped aside to let the two men enter, luggage and all. "He seems awfully chipper for a child whose dads are going away for four days."
Aidou grinned slyly. "We said that we're returning with presents."
"Ah."
"Okay," Zero said, "where do I put the luggage?"
"In the guestroom."
Zero exited the room, Ren hot on his heels.
Aidou smiled at Yuki. "Okay," he reached in his pocket to produce a sheet of paper, "this is The List. It's basically a set of rules I composed to help you survive. Please follow it, because well… your life will be a lot easier."
Zero and Aidou sang their son to sleep, nuzzling his neck.
Aidou kissed his sleeping son's forehead. "We will see you soon bijou." He swallowed the lump in his throat. Today was the first time he would be separate from their son for more than a day. After tucking their son and watching him sleep tranquilly for a while longer and bidding Yuki farewell the two were soon on their way to a much needed vacation.
Yuki curled up on the couch to read the list Aidou composed. 'The List' went as follows"
1). Only 2 sweets a day. If you give him more you will regret it.
2). Make sure he eats at least one serving of vegetables a day. Zero insists upon this.
3). Make sure he brushes his teeth, fangs, and washes his face thoroughly.
4). Bedtime is at 5:30am.
5). Read bedtime stories to him. Beatrix Potter is in the backpack. He should promptly fall asleep after 2 stories.
6). Do not lose Ping, his red rubber ducky, or bath time will be HELL!
7). Ren-chan desires a little blood and life force every day. He doesn't have fangs so you will need to put it in his fruit juice.
8). 10 pm is nap time.
9). Ren is being potty trained. Promptly take him when he announces he has to go or he will pull down his pants and pee in anything that resembles a pot. He is unashamed of public urination. Zero wrote this rule.
10). He has a penchant for throwing hard objects. He is accurate.
11) If he gets fussy and starts to cry a lot just pop in Poombah. The show is a nerve-grating debacle of grossly cute and colorful fluffy remote control puppets singing senseless songs, but it works.
12). He likes to run through the house naked after bathing. Be quick drying him off. … Well in your case just close the door or bribe him with cookies.
13). Ren has piano lesion 4 times a week. Find someone who knows how to play, preferably someone he is familiar with. Strangers will be promptly bitten. You know what, just call Kaname-sama.
14). Keep him on his harness in public areas.
15). DO NOT fall asleep while he is awake. You WILL live to regret it.
16). Play his soothing sounds CD or he will not be able to sleep.
17). Practice his etiquette every day. Again you should call someone to teach him.
Yuki frowned at the paper. Hey, she had etiquette. Well, she had manners.
18). It is important that you play with him every day.
19). You must take him outside to appease his curiosity. Believe me this will save you a lot of annoyance.
20). IMPORTANT: DO NOT I repeat DO NOT allow him to see where you keep the sugar! You will find yourself sitting in the middle of the floor curled into the fetal position or pulling your hair out if you do not.
She raised any eyebrow. Aidou made it seem like Ren was some kind of monster. How bad could the kid be?
Aidou's eyes widened when he saw the suite assigned to them. It was fucking huge and sinfully decadent. He toured the suite (which was large and came with all sorts of amenities). He listened with glee as Zero named off the services that they would enjoy during their stay. "Wow! I love this place!" How could he not love a hotel that so happened to have a shop inside it that sold gourmet desserts (including pocky). He got a running start, jumped, and landed heavily on the bed, bouncing a little.
Zero climbed into bed, straddling his mate.
"Just think my love; you can fuck me without being wary of any unforeseen interruptions." He allowed a hand to travel down Zero's spine, pulling the man atop him.
Zero's nostrils flared. "And you can scream all you want." He licked Aidou's petal soft lips, a hand travelling down to stroke his side.
Aidou purred. "Mmmm. Then what say we start enjoying our no hassles fucking," he replied huskily. A naughty hand trailed to Zero's perfectly taut mounds, giving them a squeeze.
Zero grinned and leaned down, devouring the small blonde's full lips.
Everything went smoothly until the night Kaname was supposed to come over and conduct Ren's piano lesson. The two decided to wrestle and after a long struggle Yuki prevailed (she had been doing high impact yoga for two months now).
She jumped up, giving an exuberant whoop. "Whooo! I am the winner Ren-chan," she exclaimed to the child lying on the floor. "You gave me trouble grasshopper but you are still nothing but the student and I am the teacher." She allowed herself a small victory dance.
Ren pouted at her before tottering out of the room.
She grinned and laid on the floor to watch television.
Ren peeped around the corner. His obasan was watching television. In one of his chubby little hands was a durable toy steering wheel. He frowned and walked to her. After aiming he threw the heavy toy. The toy collided with the back of Yuki's head.
Yuki yelped, stars dancing in her vision.
Kaname raised an eyebrow when Yuki answered the door holding a cold pack to the back of her head.
Ren looked up from his place in the corner. "Ojisama!"
Kaname smiled, wrapping his arms around the child. "Hello my little one."
Ren looked up at his uncle, sapphire eyes sparkling mirthfully. "Bonjour ojisama!"
Kaname's heart melted. Ren was so adorable. He allowed himself to be led towards the corner where the black keyboard lay.
"Are you going to teach me my piano lessons, jisama?"
Kaname lifted the tiny child, carrying him the rest of the journey to the keyboard.
The two played beginner compositions such as Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and went over the different keys. After an hour of practicing, Kaname commended Ren on his performance. The pureblood decided to stay a few more hours, spending time with the two. They ate pizza and watched Pokémon.
Ren yawned tiredly, leaning on his 'uncle'. He looked up at the pureblood. "May I come stay with you ojisama? Obasan couldn't boil water if her life depended on it."
Yuki frowned at the child.
Kaname clicked his tongue. "Now, now Ren-chan that wasn't a nice thing to say."
Ren looked up at him, features nonplussed. "But that's what otousan says."
Yuki's eyes widened. "What?"
Ren patted Yuki's thigh as a consoling gesture. "Do not feel sad 'basan, otousan always burns the pancakes." Ren shifted his attention to his 'uncle'. "May I please stay with you jisama?"
Kaname chuckled. "But your daddies said you must stay with your obasan."
Ren pouted. "But it's okay if I stay with you. S'il vous plaît ojisama?" He pleaded, looking up at Kaname with wavering blue eyes.
Sadly even the great pureblood prince was no match for Ren's infamous puppy dog pout. "Alright, get your things."
Ren whooped gleefully, clapping his hands, and disappeared down the hall.
Yuki smiled slyly at the pureblood. "Softy."
Kaname pretended not to hear her.
The hotel room was empty its occupants deciding to go elsewhere. The private hot tub was currently inhabited by the couple. Two half-empty wineglasses sat abandoned next to the hot tub surrounded by discarded clothing.
Aidou sat atop his mate, hands gripping the flagstone paved ground as he bounced. A rose pink hue colored his cheeks, his teeth worried his bottom lip as he tried to smother the shouts of ecstasy clawing at his throat. "Mmf, Ze…ro."
Zero's whose face was equally red growled lowly and gazed at his mate, lavender eyes darkened with lust. So long. It had been so long since they made love without caution. "Fuck," he grunted, the delicious sensation of Aidou's tight, wet, canal constantly massaging his hard cock setting his senses aflame. "Hana." He wrapped his arms around his mate, drawing him close to press a kiss to his soft lips.
"So good Zero." He moaned into the kiss gasping sharply when he hit both their sweet spots.
Aidou's cell phone, which lay behind Zero, rang shrilly. "Ignore it," Zero said between pants.
Aidou let out a cry when Zero's cock slammed into his prostate. "But what if it's about Ren?"
Zero's eyes cleared as he sobered slightly. "Fine," he complained.
Aidou grasped the phone, after wiping his hand. "Hello?" After Yuki informed them that Ren was going to stay with Kaname, he turned the phone off and returned it to its former place. He grinned at Zero. "You know, even though that was inconvenient, it was actually a good thing." He ground his bottom against Zero's hips.
Zero let out a strangled cry, voice rising in pitch.
"I get to fuck you longer, now," he whispered huskily in his mate's ear.
Kaname laid Ren in the large bed, having read the list carefully. He turned on the Soothing Sounds CD in the slot of the radio and pressed the play button. Nearly inaudible sounds of various animals drifted from the radio's speakers. "Good day Ren-chan." He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to the child's forehead. He turned to leave.
"Ojisama."
Kaname turned to him. "Yes?"
Ren fiddled with the covers, looking up at the pureblood with unsure eyes. "Tousan usually reads to me."
"Oh," Kaname said softly. This was the absolute first time he had the opportunity to take care of Ren and he was going to make sure he did it right.
"My book is in my backpack."
Kaname searched Ren's pack (one of five large suitcases), fishing out the thick book. He regarded the large photo of Peter Rabbit sitting in a flower patch on the front. "Beatrix Potter." He sat in the chair next to the bed.
Ren sat up. "Why are you way over there jisama? Otousan reads to me and papa snuggles me." Ren looked up at him with an inquiring expression. "There is only one of you can you do both?"
Kaname nodded, holding back an amused smile. "I think so."
He snuggled Ren and cracked open the book. He read the tale of Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail. He was halfway through The Tale of Pig Robinson when he realized that Ren was asleep. Smiling faintly he closed the voluminous book and got to his feet. He leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to his nephew's forehead. "Sleep tight little one." He placed the book on the night stand and moving gracefully, he exited the room.
He shut the door and strolled down the extensive hall, opening the door to find his bedmate lying on his side, the sheets pooling around his waist.
"How is he doing?" He inquired, deep voice rumbling softly.
Kaname disrobed completely and strode into the bathroom, beckoning his lover. It was 1:00pm by the time Kaname turned in and after a day of making love (and napping in between) he lay in the bed. He sighed contentedly, sated.
Thirty minutes later the door creaked open and Ren peeped into his uncle's spacious room. He opened the door to allow himself enough room and slinked in. He got a running start, jumped into the air, and landed on Kaname knees first.
Kaname's eyes flew open. What the hell?
"Ren-chan what is it?" A deep voice asked.
Ren looked at the owner of the voice with wide eyes. "Ojisan?"
Kaname gazed at the small child with a sheepish expression on his face. Oh shit. The secret was out.
Quickly getting over the shock he began bouncing on the bed, demanding food and a bath.
Later came bath time.
Kaname read the label of the bubble bath, Earth Mother, and poured it into the running water.
Ren, who stood behind him, butt- naked spoke, "where's Ping?"
Kaname handed him the red rubber ducky. "Here you are, now in the tub you go." He lifted Ren from the tiled floor and plopped him into the water, the layer of bubbles covering his tiny body up to his belly.
Ren splashed in the water, giggling and blowing handfuls of suds in the air.
Kaname flipped through a magazine casually.
After many minutes of splashing, Ren regarded the pureblood. "Jisama."
He glanced up from his magazine. "Yes?"
"I need you to help me."
Kaname raised an eyebrow inquiringly.
Ren sighed and decided to elaborate. "With taking a bath. I'm only three, I can't do it on my own," he answered near patronizing.
Kaname gave him a stern look and knelt next to the bathtub, taking up the wash towel on the edge. "So how do I give you a bath?"
Ren gave him an incredulous look. His ojisama was kidding right? "You are smart jisama."
Kaname smiled gratefully at the child. "Thank you Ren-chan."
"But," he continued, "you should know how to give me a bath, since you obviously give yourself one every day."
Kaname nearly frowned at the child's tart tongue. He should have known the child would have a smart mouth with the company he kept. After bathing Ren he lifted him from the tub, shirt soaking, sleeves rolled up. He swathed Ren in a large fluffy towel, lifting him after he finished drying him off.
Ren shoved his hand in Kaname's face. "I'm ally pruny jisama."
Kaname's eyes widened and he feigned fear. "Oh no Ren-chan! You're turning into a prune. What am I going to do? What will I tell your fathers when they come home and find a prune instead of their adorable Ren-chan?"
Ren giggled merrily, nuzzling Kaname's nose. "Silly jisama. I'm not turning into a prune. It's impossible."
Kaname wiped the invisible sweat from his brow. "Whew. Then I'll still be able to do this!" He tickled Ren furiously, enjoying the shrill giggles erupting from the small child. He stopped, waiting until the child had regained his breath to lean down and nuzzle his nose. "Come now child let's get you dressed, your ojisan is waiting on us."
Ren had a full night. After finger-painting with Akatsuki, playing cops and robbers, and exploring a section of the forest behind Kuran manor he sat snuggled next to his Uncle Kaname. He sighed impatiently. "Are you done drawing me yet jisan?"
Kain nodded. "Almost, now stay still o chibi."
Ren squirmed from side-to-side. "Oshikko shitai."*
"Hold on."
Ren repeated himself once. He continued to squirm in an effort to hold his water, scanning the room for anything resembling a toilet. Frowning he stood and ran to the potted plant in the corner.
The two uncles glanced up just in time to see him unzip his pants. "Rule nine. Ren wait." It was too late because the child had already pulled out his penis and began to urinate in the plant.
Kaname thinking quickly dashed to the child, picked him up and started towards the bathroom careful not to let the stream of pee get on his bare feet. His phone rang. He growled, stopping momentarily to pick up the phone and answer it. "Hello?" He continued to run with the child.
"Kaname-sama? It's me Hanabusa." He languished atop his mate, enjoying the intimacy of skin-to-skin contact.
"Oh." He continued to run with Ren going for the nearest bathroom, urine wetting his pants. Good lord what did Ren drink to make him pee so much? He gagged on the strong smell wafting to his nose.
"Is Ren being a good boy? "
"Yes."
"Can we talk to Ren?" Zero asked, caressing Aidou's back.
Kaname looked at Ren. "Sure, give me a minute." He plopped Ren, who had finished his business, on the toilet. "Here he is." He handed Ren the phone, kneeling to strip the child of his pants.
Aidou put the phone on loudspeaker.
"Hello mes pères!" Ren said cheerily.
Both men smiled at hearing their son's voice. "Hi Ren-chan!" Aidou said, matching Ren's cheer.
"Are you having fun?" Zero asked, masking a gasp when Aidou shifted, stimulating him in the right spot.
Ren nodded. "Yes!" His expression changed to one of seriousness. "When are you coming home? I miss you both. I miss papa's cooking. Obasan burnt the crepes and the hotdogs and I had to eat cereal for breakfast. Then we wrestled, she's strong."
Zero chuckled. He would probably be right if he said Ren had gotten revenge on Yuki.
"Now, I am at ojisama's and he thought I was going to turn into a prune after bath time." He began to giggle.
"Did he now?" Aidou asked, just as amused as his son.
"Hai!"
Kaname discarded Ren's dirtied pants, then his socks. Ren didn't forget anything.
"We finger painted and played cops and robbers."
The two listened as their son described his night, chuckling at the funny points. "So it sounds like you're having fun."
Ren nodded, looking up at his 'uncle' with happy eyes. "Jisama and jisan were in the same bed and it smelled fu—"
Kaname took the phone from the child before he could divulge anything else. "Okay, go get ready for bed Ren-chan." He laughed sheepishly. "If I have any business, I will notify you and take him to Kaien's."
The two shared a glance. "Okay." Zero answered. "Good bye."
Aidou looked up at Zero when he heard the dial tone. "You don't think that-?"
Zero shook his head, brow furrowed. Were Kaname and Akatsuki sleeping together?
Aidou sighed. "Zero I miss my petit bijou."
"Me too."
Ren bounded into his 'grandfather's' arms. "Jiisan!"
Kaien hugged the child tightly, drawing away to nuzzle his nose. He threw Ren into the air, smiling when Ren giggled. "How is my o-chibi?"
Ren tugged at Kaien's long ponytail, rooting for blood.
Kaname strode gracefully into the Chairman's summer home, Ren's suitcases in tow. "Sorry about the inconvenience."
Kaien placed Ren on the floor, petting his soft white-blonde hair. "Are you kidding? Taking care of my Ren-chan is no inconvenience."
"Sayonara ojisama." He bowed his head politely.
Kaien smiled warmly at the pureblood, bidding him farewell. He closed the front door and turned to his grandson. "Now, do you want to help ojiisan bake a cake?"
Ren's eyes lit up. "Oui! Oui!" He skipped behind his grandfather following him to the kitchen where various ingredients were placed on the counter.
Kaien sat Ren on the counter, turned on some jaunty pop music, and went about preparing the cake.
Ren sang to the song, standing up to dance on the counter, giggling joyfully when Kaien danced with him. "Sofu what are you doing?" He asked as Kaien stretched his arms in front of himself and began moving them up and down.
Kaien shook his hips. "It's called the monkey." He laughed when Ren mimicked him. After placing the rest of the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl he opened one of the bottom cabinets and retrieved the sugar (he should have read The List) and poured a few cups into the batter.
After baking the cake they ate a few slices and sat down to watch an animated movie.
Kaien awakened to find the living room perfectly fine but Ren absent. "Ren!" He called. He jogged to the kitchen, stopping short at the sight.
Ren sat on the floor pouring sugar down his throat.
"Oh shit."
Ren put the container down, pupils dilating, sugar rushing through his system.
Kaien stared at the child in horror as he literally zipped off the walls in a blur and streaked past him, knocking over everything in his path. "Oh my god." He pursued Ren, tripping over a fallen plant and conking his head on the floor. "Ren!"
Toga walked into the house, raising an eyebrow at the sight. Kaien sat in the floor, mummified by toilet paper with the results of mayhem surrounding him; watching with wide eyes as Ren bounced on the couch, squealing shrilly. He walked to his partner. "You alright?"
Kaien looked up at him with harried eyes. "That is not a child Toga, that is a five on the Fujita scale. He's been going nonstop for four hours."
Toga stood and strode to the bouncing child.
"Oh," bounce, " hello Toga-jii." He continued bouncing.
Toga grabbed the bouncing boy, lay him across his lap when he sat down, pulled down his pants, and spanked him.
Ren's eyes widened and he started crying stridently, tears cascading down his cheeks. He sat up, wiping his eyes, when Toga finished. "Why did you spank me?" He said, blue eyes full of tears.
"Because you terrorized your sofu and made a mess. Now go to the corner," he ordered, pointing to said corner.
Ren pouted, tear tracks staining his cherubic cheeks, dragged to the corner, and sat down folding his legs.
"You will stay in that corner until I say otherwise and no cookies or cake for you after dinner," he decreed sternly. He walked to Kaien, bending down to unwrap his head and hands.
"You're my hero Toga!"
Toga rolled his eye, blushing when Kaien glomped him.
"My big strong…" He leaned over to whisper vulgar things into his ear before kissing the blushing man's cheek.
After the house was clean Kaien looked at the tiny child sitting in the corner. "Can't he come out from time-out now?"
"No."
"Please." Kaien pleaded with wavering honey eyes.
Toga caved. He was such a sucker for those honey eyes. "Fine. You're off time-out now."
Ren climbed to his feet and walked to Kaien, mood and expression somber. He gave a bow. "Forgive me for misbehaving ojiisama."
Kaien's heart melted at the sincerity in the child's tone. "Oh I forgive you Ren-chan."
Ren remained solemn. "Do you two still love your Ren-chan?"
Toga and Kaien smiled softly at the child. "Always."
Ren's expression brightened and he hugged their legs.
Toga lifted Ren and cradled him close. "How about after dinner we watch Kiki's Delivery Service?"
Ren nodded, running a hand over the patch over Toga's eye, a sad expression in his blue eyes. "I love you my grandpères."
The two men smiled, hearts melting.
Ren nestled into his slumbering Grandpa Toga's side and closed his eyes, smiling drowsily when one the man's arms came around to encircle his shoulders.
Kaien smiled at the sight of the two and stood. After a few moments of rummaging through the linen closet he returned with a fleece throw and placed it over them. Smiling softly at the adorable scene, he reclaimed his spot on the couch and continued watching the movie.
Aidou hopped out of the car and jogged to the door, eager to see his son.
Kaien wakened when vampire auras tracked over his senses. He stood, sniffing the delectable odor of grilled steak wafting from the kitchen. He pulled the door open and threw his arms around the two vampires. "Welcome back!"
Zero frowned deeply, pushing the man away. "Stop it."
Kaien drew Aidou closer, a foxy grin crawling across his lips. "You look exceptionally adorable tonight Hanabusa-chan." He put an arm around Aidou and escorted him into the home. He sniffed Aidou's hair. "And you smell delicious too."
Aidou's cheeks colored scarlet and he fidgeted, looking over his shoulder at Zero for help. "Um thank you sir?" The Headmaster was so weird.
Zero rolled his eyes. "Get a room you two." He entered the home, instantly detecting the scent of burgers.
"Back already?"
Zero nodded. "We could have stayed an extra day but Hana wanted to get back to Ren."
Toga stuck his spatula in one of the pockets of his apron. "The little monster is upstairs." He eyed Kaien who was still holding Aidou close. "Kaien give Goldilocks back to Zero."
Kaien frowned disapprovingly. "Do I have to Toga?" He squeezed Aidou, pressing their cheeks together. "He's so adorable I could just eat him up," he purred.
Zero face palmed.
Aidou sputtered, the blush on his cheeks creeping to the rest of his face.
Toga sighed. "Look at him, if he gets any redder he's going to pop a blood vessel. Give him back."
Kaien released Aidou and skipped to his mate, kissing his cheek.
Ren sat up in bed. Keen little ears picked up the voices downstairs. His eyes widened and he leapt from the bed, bolting down the stairs. "Mes pères!" He flung his arms around his parents' legs, purring softly. "I missed you terribly!"
Zero picked the elfin child up, smiling as Ren caressed his and Aidou's faces.
"I am happy you're home now."
The trio nuzzled close, feeling out their bond, indulging in the contact they'd been missing the past few days. "Thanks for taking care of Ren for us," Aidou said gratefully.
Kaien shrugged casually. "No problem."
"Although he did terrorize Kaien for four hours."
Aidou raised an eyebrow, looking down at the child with a promise swimming in his blue eyes. No cookies for Ren. "Rule 20?"
Toga, who bothered to read the list, nodded. "Don't worry though I punished him accordingly."
"Good." Zero said. He kissed Ren.
After retrieving Ren's luggage and bidding the two men farewell, they exited the home.
An hour later Ren played with his dinosaur toy, making the sound effects as the Tyrannosaurus Rex apparently mauled the brontosaurus.
"He's violent," Zero stated offhandedly, listening to Ren.
"Please! Please help, but T-rex ignored Bronto's cries for mercy and instead evis-ceb-ated# him eating his intestines."
Aidou listened quietly before shaking his head. "Not so much. So did you have fun Ren-chan?"
He nodded vigorously. "Yes, but otousan already asked that question."
Aidou frowned at the child. "Well we want to hear it again."
Ren sighed heavily. "I like staying with obasan because she's funny. She can't cook though. We wrestled and played bingo and went to the ice cream parlor. I ate a lot of ice cream and par-faits. Ojisama's house is so fun mon peres. He read to me, even doing the funny voices. We finger-painted, made mud pies in the forest, and we even played cops and robbers. They were the cops and I was the robber."
Yes! Now was his chance to get the juicy tidbit from his son. "They?"
Zero bumped him with his elbow. He didn't understand why Aidou loved gossip so much.
"Oui. Kaname-jisama and Tsuki-ji."
"Akatsuki was there?"
Ren nodded. "Oui. Did you know they sleep in the same bed?"
Zero and Aidou shared a glance. Aidou grinned slyly. "Really?" He knew it! He knew there was a reason behind the two men's intimate camaraderie.
"I had lots of fun at ojiisama's house. We danced and baked a cake." His brow furrowed. "Mes pères what does 'I'm going to play your skin flute like it's never been played and let you do me doggy style' mean?"
The two male's eyes broadened, cheeks reddening, expressions shocked. Zero swerved, thunderstruck at the child's sudden vulgar vocabulary, and straightened the car shock still new.
"W-where did you hear that?" Aidou, the first to recover, asked.
"Kaien-ojii said it to Toga-ojii. Well he whispered it, but I heard it, because I am a vampire."
Zero grasping at a suitable answer before Aidou decided to scar him for life by telling the truth took in a bracing breath. "It means he wants to love him and play twister later. Now don't you ever, repeat that to anyone. Ever."
Ren nodded, satisfied with his father's answer. "Okay papa."
Aidou stretched out on the picnic blanket beneath the grand oak tree, eyes on the studded night sky. A cool summer breeze blew past, whipping his hair. A slow smile danced across his rose pink lips when Zero lay beside him and reached for his hand.
Zero grasped Aidou's smaller hand, kissing his knuckles. Their eyes met and held only for a moment but in that moment they lost themselves in each other's loving gaze and lived a lifetime.
Snapping out of the spell Zero's mesmerizing lavender eyes always spun on him he looked to him with concern. "You okay?"
Zero gave a causal shrug and nod. "He's greedy like his otousan," he stated, jibing Aidou lightly.
Aidou rolled his eyed dramatically. "But you're so delicious Zero."
Zero watched Ren run towards them, ice skates in hand.
"I'm ready!"
Aidou strode to the pond and dipped a finger into the liquid, activating his powers. Within mere moments the lake was frozen over by thick layers of ice. After helping the tiny boy into his ice skates and donning his own he escorted him onto the frozen pond where Zero waited patiently.
Ren grasped hold of their hands and they were off.
The two adult males' hearts warmed as they listened to their son's excited giggles. They skated for hours, holding their son's hands as they glided across the ice.
Whew! I thought I would never finish this chapter. Anyhow yes this was based on my experience; unfortunately I couldn't send my niece to anyone else. It was hard, but it helped me realize what my sister went through every day. Thankfully now she's a teenager and babysitting her is a cakewalk. However there is the matter of my six year old nephew (dubbed 'The Little Monster). Oh and the rule about sugar, that was real. My sister put my niece (who is thin even though she eats everything in sight) on a no-candy diet and because of the absence of sweeties in her diet she began carrying bagged sugar to school in her backpack and eating it during break. We found that out eight months ago when my mom found the bag in her backpack.
Anyhow I hope you guys enjoy this and if you do drop me a line. *Sakura closes eyes and fantasizes about Zero and Aidou doing naughty things in a hot tub then gets woozy from massive nosebleed*. Okay to all my readers and reviewers I want to say THANK YOU! *Sends readers and reviewers Oreo cookies*.
*Oshikko shitai- I have to go pee
#evis-ceb-ated- this is not a typo. Ren is only three in this oneshot so he's going to have trouble saying some words.
Ciao ^.^
