So I feel it's only fair to warn you...this isn't Takeshi's backstory. I know that I said that Takeshi's backstory was next, and originally was going to be an intro/segway to that, but the transition didn't really make sense to me, I was supposed to update last month, and I really liked what I wrote here so...yeah. I posted an extra fluffy chapter. Takeshi's backstory(which I have started) will be next. I PROMISE.

I don't own KHR.

"There you go," Takeshi whispered with a smile as he finished putting on Lambo's diaper. "All clean."

Lambo responded with a happy gurgle and a clap of his small hands. Takeshi couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

"Feels good doesn't it?" asked Takeshi playfully as he tickled Lambo's stomach with his nose. "Doesn't it?"

Lambo let out quite a few giggles at that, and while the giggles sounded very adorable, they were also unfortunately a bit loud. And everyone else was still sleeping.

"Ssh ssh," Takeshi harshly whispered as he hurriedly placed his hands over his baby brother's mouth while looking around a bit frantically. But thankfully, besides a stir from Kyoya and a twitch from Mukuro, no one woke up. Takeshi let out a relieved sigh while he took his hands off of Lambo's mouth.

"That was a bit close, huh buddy?" Takeshi harshly whispered with a soft chuckle as he scratched the back of his head with one hand. Lambo gurgled happily, obliviously unaware of their very close call.

It has been about two days since Tsuna left and came back with medicine for Kyoya. To everyone's relief, not only was Tsuna okay but the medicine worked. It seemed to Takeshi that not long after Ryohei gave Kyoya the first few pills, their brother started to breathe more easily and his sleep got more peaceful. He was thankfully, finally on the mend.

And all that had to happen was for Tsuna to scare the living daylights out of them. Yeah, face it to say, Tsuna is grounded for two weeks. And a 'lesson' from Kyoya once he was well enough. Takeshi couldn't help but feel sorry for his younger brother just a tiny bit.

Even though Kyoya was getting better, Ryohei and Mukuro still insisted that they should still watch him through the night just in case he had a relapse, which was fine with everyone else. It was currently Takeshi's shift, having taken over after Ryohei just an hour ago and he still has an hour or so to go. So when Lambo started to cry, Takeshi was able to shush his tears before the others fully woke up.

"Well, time to go back to sleep," Takeshi softly said as he picked up his baby brother and held him close. He then stood up carefully and walked over to the pile of blankets that served as Lambo's bed, stepping over his sleeping siblings if he needed to. When he got there, Takeshi gave a kiss on top of Lambo's forehead and laid him down.

"Kay, night night Lambo. Love ya," Takeshi quietly told him with smile as he tucked his baby brother in. Before he could get back up, however, Lambo reached up and grabbed a good handful of Takeshi's black hair.

"Ow," Takeshi uttered with a wince as Lambo giggled and grabbed another tuft of Takeshi's hair with his free hand. Takeshi sighed.

"You don't wanna to go back to sleep do you?" Takeshi asked and instantly found his answer in a form of a baby's giggle and sharp tug of his hair. Takeshi grunted in pain as he tried to figure out what to do. Whenever Lambo got this playful before bedtime, it always takes a while before they could calm him down enough so that he could go to sleep without a fuss. And if Lambo made a fuss now…

"Okay okay…what about a story? Does that sound good?" Takeshi offered as he managed to pry Lambo's fingers off his hair. Lambo gurgled like he agreed; prompting Takeshi to once again pick up Lambo and walk over where they were before, which was only a few feet away from Kyoya.

It was only when Takeshi had sat down comfortably and a quick yet thorough glance at Kyoya that he told a story about a little bunny named Foo Foo and all the mice he became friends with till Lambo fell asleep soundly in his arms.

The story I was originally going to have Takeshi tell was his backstory but given the subject matter...I doubt Takeshi wouldn't an eleven-month-old this at bedtime. Even if Takeshi is oblivious and Lambo is a baby.

But what did you think? Please leave a review and I will update as soon as I am able to. Merry Christmas!
