Brief explanation: This is a Family AU with Daichi and Suga as parents with 3 adopted children. It's just a drama of how they became a happy family even without the bond of blood.
Enjoy~
"Sugawara, we're done here."
A light grey-haired man in his late twenties lifted his head at the mention of his name. "O-Oh, I see." He quickly saved the draft he was working on before answering, "I'm almost done here too."
"We're going drinking after this. Are you coming?"
He looked at his colleagues, and then to the round clock attached on the wall across the room, the hour hand pointing a little past the number 6. "I don't think so... I gotta pick the kids up."
"As always, huh? Okay then."
"Yeah, sorry." He flashed an apologetic smile. "I'll join you next time. Have fun, guys!"
The man left his company and rushed to the day care centre ten minutes later. At his rather young age of 32, Sugawara Koushi had become a father of 3 for several years. But he doesn't have a wife and his children don't have a woman they would call a 'mother'. Instead, they have two fathers. And naturally, neither of them gave birth to any of the children.
Koushi, an interior designer married his boyfriend from high school, Sawamura Daichi who is working at an insurance company. They soon decided to adopt the 3 children they were sure to each have a fateful encounter with. A lot of people around them said they were reckless. Deciding to take care of those kids who had absolutely no blood relation with each other did not seem wise.
"It's like you're taking in puppies you happen to found." As quoted directly from Saeko, one of their good friends, while laughing away.
There are also times when both Koushi and Daichi wondered if those decisions were right. But it didn't last too long, because deep down inside they already knew the answer to it. They wanted to give a home to those children and shower them with love, even if that means they would make a rather 'strange' family in the eyes of outsider.
Koushi arrived at Karasuno Daycare at 18:42. As soon as he reached the front door, two children dashed toward him before he could even greet the young ladies working as nannies there.
"Suga-san!" they screamed. One of them jumped to him, leaving Koushi no choice but to catch her in time, while the other just stood there and smiling sweetly.
"Since you're late, buy me popsicle!"
"Eh? No way, Yuu! You can't have it your way like that!" He nagged at the little girl in his arms, but when she started pouting, Koushi grinned and added. "But I guess I really am late today, hmm? So let's buy some on the way home? We'll eat it after dinner, okay?"
The girl's face brightened right away as she cheered. "I want soda flavour!"
Yuu, an eleven year old, currently in her 6th grade of elementary school, was the eldest of the 3. She was incredibly energetic, confident and fearless even amongst the boys her age. She was definitely the most playful despite being the oldest for two of her younger brothers, though that's also part of her unique personality.
"Alright, alright~ What about you, Chikara?" Koushi put Yuu down and turned to the other child that welcomed him along with the girl. "Anything you want?"
"Popsicle is fine." Said the boy.
"Really? Then what flavour do you want?"
He looked away for a moment before turning back to Koushi and with a hint of excitement, he meekly answered, "C-Can I have pineapple…?"
Chikara, the middle child only 2 years below Yuu, was still in his 4th year of elementary school. Yet, he was far more mature than those his age and sometimes even cleaned after the mess his older sister made. He was a sweet and reliable little angel that rarely ever acts selfishly, but once he did, almost no one could stop spoiling him.
"Of course, sweetie! Of course!"
Chikara only replied with a smile and Koushi could already feel all the fatigue from work that day evaporated to the thin air. After looking at two of his children, he lifted his head and swept his eyes around when he was reminded of the third child. "Where's Tobio?"
"Over there! Asleep!" Yuu answered loudly.
"Ah... did he play too much again?" The man looked at the direction pointed and started walking towards the dark-haired boy sleeping soundly at the corner of the room. Yuu and Chikara followed closely behind.
Tobio, 3 years old, was the youngest that had been around in the Sawamura household since he was an infant. He was still very young, but anyone could see that he was very strong-willed and purely passionate about the things he likes. He was a little hesitant in opening up or relying on others, but he could work on that personality of his, at least Koushi is positive about it.
"Yeah, we played ball a lot."
"And catching the bugs too!"
"Eh, bugs?!" Koushi exclaimed with a low voice as he carefully carried Tobio from the bed to his arm.
"Yeah, they were big! But then Kiyoko-san said I can't bring them home."
Koushi exhaled in relief. "So what did you do?"
"I freed them because Nee-chan wouldn't let go of it."
Yuu turned to his first brother with a pout. "Cuz I finally caught them! Chikara's a killjoy!"
"Now, now, stop it." Koushi butted in before their silly arguments became a fight. "Go say goodbye to the teacher. We're going home."
They dashed to where Shimizu and Yachi were, the part-timers working as tutors and babysitters. One made a ruckus as she greeted and waved at them, while the other was struggling to keep up with his siblings before softly uttering goodbyes. Koushi then smiled and nodded apologetically for the noise as they were leaving.
"Suga-san!" chirped Yuu on their way home from the convenience store trip.
"What is it?" He looked down at the oldest walking a few steps in front. She turned around and beamed brightly.
"Thanks for your hard work today!"
In that small body of his daughter, she had the power to cheer up and revitalize someone right away with her words. Koushi paused before inhaling. "Okay, we're having curry for dinner!"
"Yay!" cheered Yuu.
"I'll help, Suga-san."
"And chicken cutlets too!" Koushi added after the middle child's remark.
"Hey, hey, will Dad be home today?"
"Dad's busy, you know?"
"I know that! But I want us all to have dinner together."
"Well, me too…"
The mother figure of the children bent down carefully with his youngest still sleeping in his arms, matching his eyes with theirs, his lips tugging into a wide smile. "It's okay. He will be back today. We will be having dinner, all of us, the whole family together. So let's hurry up and wait for him at our home."
Nishinoya is a girl here and I decided to genderswap him for no apparent reason. But I thought he's fine because Noya's still Noya despite the gender.
so that's that
more bby noya, ennoshita, and kags coming
