Gojyo hated to see a woman cry, but a child crying was even worse.
"C'mon, kid, don't cry..."
Of course, those words made the five-year-old he and Gojyo were watching for their neighbors cry even harder.
"Ah, found it!" Hakkai came into the living room, waving a band-aid around triumphantly.
The little boy sniffled, cradling a smashed finger in his other hand protectively.
Hakkai swiftly put the latex bandage on the finger, kissing it to make it feel better. "How's that?"
The little boy looked at his finger, then up at Hakkai and smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Hakkai."
"Of course," the demon teacher replied, running a hand through the boy's short locks. "Now go play, and be careful."
The boy hopped off his seat on the table and took off to entertain himself.
"Wow, that was amazing," Gojyo said, watching the little boy running outside to play.
"Band-aids fix just about everything with kids that age," Hakkai replied, leaning into Gojyo's embrace. "Scrapes, concussions, broken arms..."
The halfbreed pressed a kiss against the skin underneath Hakkai's ear. "I've got a condition I don't think a band-aid can fix."
"Later, 'Jyo."
Gojyo carried Hakkai into the bedroom anyway.
