Married with children
Takara woke up when she heard a loud scream coming from her kitchen, she rolled her eyes getting up from her cosy bed and went to see what was going on. Her daily routine was like this ever since getting married and starting a family. Atsushi ran up to his mother with a face that somehow reminded her of his father, he had that same serous look and everytime he said something it was just as straightforward as when Kensuke spoke.
„Hitoshi and Akari are figthing again." He informed her with a deadpan look and grabbed her hand to take her downstairs.
„Where's your father. I thought he was with you."
„He is. That's the problem." Atsushi said. „Uncle Atsushi came and said something to him and now they are fighting too."
„Those two never stop."
„Mom?"
„What?"
„Can you please tell dad to hurry up I need to get to school."
„I will don't worry." Takara said as she patted her son's head. She entered the kitchen that looked more like a battlefield than a kitchen she wanted so badly and finally got two weeks ago. „What are you doing?" She said smiling brightly which startled the two grown ups fighting as well as her own son and daughter.
„Your Takara is pissed." Murasakibara commented as he sat down.
„That' your Takara. The one I got married to isn't like this." Fukui said and sat down as well.
„Oh yes she is." Takara snapped before she pinched the both of them. „You're being a bad example for my children. Hitoshi, what did I say about being good to your sister?"
„Uncle Haizaki said I need to be good only if she's around assholes." The five year old replied causing his mother to gasp loudly.
„Shit." Murasakibara and Fukui said in unision.
„Did the three of you teach my son to curse?"
„It was more like he learned himself."
„Ass whole." Akari tried to pronounce the word as well, Takara took her youngest child and hugged her tightly.
„Don't say that Akari. That's a bad word. And Hitoshi please don't take advice from your uncle Haizaki. He gives bad advice, trust me."
„The one he gave you was pretty good. It got you turned down by Nijimura."
„At least he wouldn't approve of his children swearing." Takara snapped at her husband.
„I don't approve." Fukui said, imitating her voice. „You shouldn't curse Hitoshi." He scolded his son with a smile. Scolding children was never his thing, though he always thought it would be easy. One way or another, he was always the one that got them everything they wanted and Takara was the one that actually played the role of a parent. Her Atsushi complex rubbed on him after they got their first child while she was completely cured of it.
„Dad. I should get going. I'll be late for school." The ten year old Atsushi tugged at Fukui's sleeve.
„Fine, fine, I'm going. If you get late because of me I'll buy you that book you said you wanted."
„Then we can wait a bit more." Atsushi said and sat down. Takara sighed before turning her head around to face them.
„You will not be late Atsushi, just remember that was the way your parents started getting along."
„You say that like it's a bad thing." Fukui pouted at his wife.
„I'm not sure where's the good side of it." Takara said sounding challenging.
„I can name three good sides of it." Fukui said before leaning in to kiss his wife. He wondered how he could keep himself from kissing her all the time when they first got to the boyfriend-girlfriend stage. At the time the both of them were too shy and it took them some time to get used to their new relationship.
„Ew. Disgusting." Both Atsushis said.
„That's what your mother said when she realized she likes me." Fukui grinned at his oldest son.
„I understand mother." The boy answered casually.
„I know you do. You're my firstborn." Takara said, smiling at her son lovingly.
„You always do that. I am you husband and your father show me some respect."
„Atsu." Takara said looking at her bestfriend.
„Don't speak like that to Taka-chin and little Atsushi or I'll crush you."
„I crush." Akari tried again making Hitoshi laugh out loud.
„She still can't talk."
„She's still too small to speak like you Hitoshi, you shouldn't make fun of her."
„Yes mother."
„Well it's time to get Atsuhi to school. I'll see you guys later." Fukui announced before taking his son's bag and walking out. Takara took a deep sigh before she sat down next to Murasakibara.
„I never thought this would be so hard." She said laughing a little. „But it's fun at the same time."
„You have a nice family Taka-chin."
„You too Atsu. You should bring them the next time you come to visit."
„Murasakibara baby is still to small to travel, and Murasakibara mom has to stay in bed for a few more days."
„I know." Takara said. She remembered how it was for her after giving birth to her first child. Fukui was running around like crazy all the time acting more like a slave to her than a husband and a father. He was scared to come close to either her or their son for a few days saying that he'll crush them. Words he had heard from Murasakibara because he was just as scared to see his best friend's child.
„We know the name we'll give to our baby." Atsushi suddenly said, leaving the pudding he was eating on the counter.
„Really?" Takara asked, feeding her daughter, Hitoshi helping her by wiping the face of his sister when she got dirty from the food that fell out of her mouth.
„We thought about Takara." Atsushi said, he could see Takara's face spreading into a wide smile.
„You're kidding."
„No." He shrugged and continued eating.
„That's so nice of you. I love you both. Akari, Hitoshi did you hear? Your little cousin will be named after your mother." She said cheerfully.
„I wondered if you could call Hime-chin to come visit too." Atsushi asked. Since Himeko moved to China after getting married to Liu they saw her only few times a year.
„I'm sure she will, and Liu too. They'll both come don't worry." Takara said. She took the napkin from Hitoshi's hand to check on Akari when her phone started ringing.
„Yeah?" Takara asked yawning a little.
„Morning girlfriend of mine." She heard Fukui chuckling from the other side of the line. Takara turned her head to check the time before she jumped up and screamed making Himeko throw a pillow at her.
„Fukui Kensuke!" She hissed at him
„What did I do now?"
„You will not let Haizaki teach our children how to curse."
„I'm sorry. What?" He asked choking on air when he heard her words.
„I had a dream."
„Yeah me too."
„Shut up idiot. I mean we were married. And I had the most perfect kitchen. And we had kids. Three of them. Atsushi was the oldest, he was ten, and Hitoshi he was five I think and Akari who was still so small. And Atsushi was there too, his wife just gave birth to a girl they decided to name Takara. And then Atsushi was late for school and you had to drive him there but you promised to bribe him if he was late for school and then I was feeding Akari some disgusting looking children's food and Hitoshi was helping me. And Himeko was married to Liu and they lived in China. And our children called Haizaki uncle Haizaki and then Hitoshi and Akari said the word asshole." Takara whispered the last word finally taking a deep breath after finishing her rant.
„I was whose wife?" Fukui could hear Himeko choking beside Takara. He was quiet for a moment before laughing out loud.
„So am I a good father?"
„You can work on some things. I'm perfect, obviously." Takara laughed too.
„And our children?"
„Atsushi is a lot like you, the hair, the face, everything. Even the way he speaks, it's like a copy of you. Hitoshi has my eyes and darker hair, I think he's letting it grow to be like Atsushi's, he reminds me of Kazuo, and Akari is the cutest kid ever."
„Please shut up Takara!" Himeko yelled again, hoping she won't hear Takara describing her and Liu's children as well. Yet, she felt strangely curoius about that.
„I like them." Fukui said, pleased by what he heard. „Especially Atsushi. Okay, Hitoshi sounds like a nice kid, but we'll keep him away from Kazuo and Murasakibara, and Akari is my daughter. Of course she's the cutest kid ever."
„I could even remember some things from our marriage." Takara suddenly blurrted out.
„Oh really?" She could her Fukui's mocking tone and it only made her blush.
„That's not what I meant, idiot."
„I don't know what you're talking about." Fukui deadpanned.
„Yes you do." She stammered.
„Did you just think of those things Takara. I never thought of that."
„I'll break p with you."
„Fine. I'm kidding, what did you remember?"
„The way you treated me after I gave birth to my firstborn."
„Our, but please continue."
„Don't continue I'm going to be sick."
„Shut up Himeko!" Both Takara and Fukui yelled at her.
„Fine. Jeez."
„Tell her I'll send Liu later. I was kidding, she can have him. I'm interested to see how that one will work out."
„I can hear you, asshole!" Himeko yelled from her bed. She covered her flushed face with a pillow, she was interested to see how that would work out too.
„Back to the topic. Was I a good husband?"
„Yeah. You acted like a slave and did everything I wanted. Oh, and you didn't want to come anywhere near Atsushi or me during the first few days because you were scared."
„Are you trying to say you want me to be a slave?"
„No. I'm not saying that. You wanted to know, so shut up and be a man."
„You know what Takara?" Fukui suddenly asked after being silent for a moment.
„What?"
„I could live with that family." Takara's eyes widened and her face turned bright red.
„Shut up." She choked out before hanging up on him. Fukui was too blunt sometimes.
