"Gen. Why is Aslan sleeping on the couch?" Raidou asked when he walked into the kitchen. "Good Morning to you too. I found him awake when I got up to meditate this morning. Aslan had a hard time sleeping and we talked for a bit. Then he fell back asleep when I got up to make breakfast. I'll probably wake him later" Genma replied as he reached grabbing the mug of coffee he had fixed a couple of minutes before, passing it carefully to his husband. "Thanks. And good morning" Raidou replied, pecking Genma's cheek. "Better" Genma said in a teasing tone. "What are your plans for the day?" Raidou asked, fixing himself a plate of food. "Not a lot. I have a class to teach later but probably helping Aslan get his room together and take him shopping. Oh! And I have to register him for school as well but I'll get to it. Baby steps" Genma replied as he sat down at the table with a mug of tea. "Sounds like a plan. But you have a point about school. Maybe you could ask Aslan about it and let me know so we can get some ideas" Raidou said and Genma nodded.
"You should be leaving soon shouldn't you? It's 8:30" Genma said, looking at the clock on the wall. Raidou turned and looked at the clock noticing the time as well. "You right! I'm probably going to be a few minutes late if traffic is bad" Raidou replied, as he left the kitchen to grab his bag. "Have you seen my car keys!" Raidou yelled and Genma shook his head as he giggled walking out the kitchen and walking towards the front door. "Where they usually are Rai. That's why we have a key holder" Genma replied as he grabbed the keys and passed them to Raidou. "What would I do without you?" Raidou mumbled, kissing Genma chastely. "Hmm. Not sure" Genma replied smiling. "Call you when I'm on lunch," Raidou said as he left, closing the door behind him.
Genma checked on Aslan in the living room before going back to the kitchen to wrap up a plate for him and clean up the kitchen. After that, Genma was just cleaning up around the house and went back to the living room to wake Aslan up, when he saw it was 10:30 after checking the time on his phone. "Aslan. Aslan" Genma called shaking the boy's shoulder a bit to wake him up. Aslan woke up after a few more tries squinting at the light in the room from the window. "It's too early dad. What time is it?" Aslan asked sitting up on the couch as he stretched."A little past 10:30. I wrapped up a plate from breakfast for you." Genma explained. "You made breakfast for me?" Aslan asked. "Yes. You are my child so of course I would feed you. You have to eat don't you?" Genma replied amused at the question.
"Umm well yeah I guess. Thank you." Aslan said, flustered as he left the room. "It's the two doors on your right!" Genma yelled, chuckling when he heard Aslan yell thanks from down the hall. 'We have a kid. Raidou and I' Genma thought smiling to himself. To him it was just crazy to think that him and Raidou were parents now but he was glad that they could adopt Aslan. Genma fixed up the living room and went to the kitchen where Alsan was. Aslan was standing in the middle of the kitchen seeming confused. "What are you looking for?" Genma asked and Aslan turned startled. "Umm. This is kinda embarrassing but where are the cups?" Aslan asked, picking at the same thread on his sleeve which Genma did notice.
"The cups are in the cabinet to your left. You can ask me anything Aslan. I don't mind answering any questions you have" Genma said as Aslan walked over to the cabinet to grab a cup. "I do have a few questions," Aslan said, sitting down at the table after fixing himself some water. "Ask away" Genma replied leaning against the counter. "How long have you and pops been married?" Aslan asked and Genma smiled hearing him call Raidou pops. 'He's gonna love that' Genma thought chuckling to himself. "We've been married for about 4 years now" Genma replied and Aslan nodded smiling. "That's cool! And your parents were okay with you being together?" Aslan asked and Genma sighed as he shrugged in reply. "My parents were very supportive. Raidou's on the other hand, were difficult but they raised a stubborn and determined son so he ended up cutting ties with them and moving in with me and my family." Genma explained frowning as he remembered the memories.
"Oh. I didn't really mean to bring that up if it was a sore spot" Aslan said and Genma shook his head focusing back on the conversation. "You're fine. I just was in my head for a bit" Genma said as his phone buzzed on the table. He picked it up seeing it was a message from Raidou which he thought was strange since he usually is focused on work and getting things done before lunch so Genma was a bit worried something was wrong.
From: Rai ❤️
Is Aslan awake? How's he doing?
Also I think I forgot my lunch in the fridge. Can you bring it by?
Genma laughed reading the message. Aslan glanced over but finished his food before taking the dishes to the sink. Genma replied to the text and walked over to the refrigerator. "Aslan. I have some errands to run today and I wanted to know if you wanted to come. I could show you around and we could get to know each other better hm?" Genma said and Aslan looked taken off guard but after a bit he nodded. "I'll go get ready!" he replied and if Genma noticed the bright smile on the boy's face, he didn't mention anything about it.
