"Now, Rin, what did I tell you to do?" Yukio asked as he knelt to Rin's height. The raven haired boy smiled up at Yukio with a bright smile, flashing his teeth, which was lacking a front tooth.
"Don't forget to say please and thank you," Rin repeated what he had been told earlier. Yukio was fifteen-years old, while Rin was only six-years old. There had been some freak accident during a mission.
"Just bring him here during the day. I'd be more than happy to watch him," Mephisto told.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Yukio asked, holding a tiny sleeping Rin close to his chest. He wouldn't let go of that boy, even if it meant he could have his own Father back.
"Trust me, Rin will have a blast over here. I'll be a babysitter, if you think about it," Mephisto winked at Yukio, causing a shiver to run down his spine.
"Well...we'll see if he likes it," Yukio said with a sigh before returning to the dorms to put a sleeping Rin in his bed.
"That's right," Yukio smiled. He patted Rin on the head in praise that he had remembered. "And make sure that you're not rude,"
"Yes, Nii-san," Rin said happily. He was lifted by Yukio and they left. Yukio hadn't been particularly happy to drop Rin off at Mephisto's, but what other choice did they have?
Well, his voice said in his head. You could always drop Rin off at a real daycare.
Yukio shook the thoughts out of his head. He couldn't afford a real daycare. With a sigh, he took him to Mephisto's.
"There's my favorite brothers!" Mephisto smirked. Yukio suppressed the urge to frown deeply, and just placed Rin down, placing a little school bag on his bag.
"I've put a lunch in his bag, and some entertainment to keep him busy. He has enough toys and coloring books to keep him busy until I'm finished with school and work," Yukio explained to Mephisto. He couldn't help but feel as if his words were going through one ear and out the other on the older demon.
"Yes, yes, run along. You don't want to be late to class, do you?" Mephisto chuckled. Yukio knelt to Rin's size once more.
"You're going, Nii-san?" Rin asked with large saddened blue eyes. Yukio could only smile softly, albeit sadly.
"I'm afraid I have to, Rin. I'll be back this evening," Yukio told. "I'll be here to tuck you into bed,"
"I don't want you to tuck me into bed!" Rin exclaimed. "I want you to stay!"
"I have to go, Rin," Yukio sighed. He stood from his spot, only to have his pants clung to. "Rin, let go," when he didn't comply. "Mephisto,"
Mephisto took Rin in his arms, lifting him away from the pants that he was clinging to.
"No! Let go of me you clown!" Rin exclaimed rather loudly. Yukio couldn't stay any longer. He gave a bit of a sigh before he said goodbye to Rin, despite the now younger one's protests.
"Bye bye, Rin," Yukio said before he left. As soon as he was gone, the younger, and now difficult, Rin began to cry loudly.
"Want a lollypop?" Mephisto asked. The raven haired boy blinked and nodded with his mouth forming in the shape of an 'o'. The purple haired man took a lollypop out of his desk drawer and handed it to Rin, who immediately tore the wrapping off and began to suck on it.
He spent the rest of the day sucking on a lollypop while coloring in his coloring books. Mephisto had told Rin to color in the lines of the book, but Rin yelled at him, saying something about how his coloring was more artistic than anyone who drew in the lines. The man couldn't even pry a lollypop away from him to eat his lunch.
"What is the meaning of this?" Yukio asked as he walked into the room where Mephisto and Rin were located. Rin was crying as Mephisto was trying to take away the lollypop to get him to eat quickly before Yukio returned. Too late.
"Well, you see.." Mephisto trailed off.
"Mephy won't give me my lolly back!" Rin exclaimed with a frown. If the boy knew anything, it was that he would need to bring out the water works for him to not get into trouble. With that, his blue eyes filled with tears as he ran to Yukio.
"Mephisto, he's a little boy," Yukio sighed. He patted Rin on the head. "We'll get you something to eat when we get home," Rin smiled brightly, trace of tears a thing of the past. "Now, what did you do while I was gone?"
"I colored," Rin said as he nuzzled into Yukio. The now older teen nodded.
"Alright, let me see your bag," Yukio ordered.
"My bag?" Rin asked, lifting a brow.
"Yes, your bag. Now," Yukio told. Rin was placed on the ground and retrieved his bag, handing it to his brother. Yukio opened it and immediately retrieved the lunch that was not eaten. "What is this?" Yukio asked in mock confusion.
"My lunch.." Rin trailed off. He obviously knew it was bad of him to not eat it.
"And why is it not in your tummy?" Yukio asked.
"Because I was suckin` on a lolly," Rin said with a pout. His lunch was put back into the tiny school bag and Rin was lifted into his brother's arms once more.
"Thank you for watching Rin, Mephisto, but I think I'm going to find someone more qualified to watch Rin tomorrow," Yukio said. He walked home as he held Rin. "Oh, Rin, when we get home, you can eat your lunch that was supposed to be eaten this afternoon,"
"Aw!" Rin pouted. "It was Mephy's fault," he blamed.
"Now, now," Yukio scolded. "We don't blame in this family. Even if it was his fault,"
I might write a sequel for this...in the morning when I'm not exhausted. Merry Christmas Eve!
