"Alright… Can someone explain what happened to Lubbock?" asked Najenda who was trying to sound serious and not confused.
In Tatsumi's slim, but muscular arms, there was a small baby with green hair covering his left eye and green eyes. He was wrapped up in several pieces of clothes and red goggles were slipping off his head. This baby was Lubbock.
"Well…" said Tatsumi. "I was with Lub and we were exploring a dungeon. We did manage to kill a few enemies, but one of them had an Imperial Arms in the shape of a rattle. He waved the rattle, and it launched a beam at me, but Lub pushed me out of the way and was turned into a baby. Thanks to Incursio, I was able to kill him, so, yeah… Lub is a baby now."
"Hopefully now he won't try to peek at us while we're bathing!" said Leone.
"He's cute, but I know he's going to be a troublemaker! I don't wanna change stinky diapers!" whined Mine.
Akame stood calmly as Night Raid talked about the situation with Lubbock.
"Do you know when he'll turn back to normal?" asked Akame who finally spoke.
"Not sure…" said Tatsumi as Lubbock was munching and drooling on his yellow shirt. "Hopefully, the effects aren't permanent."
"The Empire is probably planning something… We should probably go somewhere to train. The problem is, it'll be too dangerous to bring a baby with us incase an enemy comes by and attacks us." said Najenda.
"Well does that mean one of us has to watch him while the rest of us aren't here?" asked Mine in an annoyed tone.
"Don't worry." said Najenda with a confident and calm smile. "I know someone who can babysit Lubbock while we're out."
After the Night Raid meeting, the day went on, only this time they had to take care of Lubbock. Once it was nighttime, Tatsumi carried the green-haired baby into Tatsumi's bedroom. The brown-haired male gently held the baby, sat down on his bed, and began to rock him to sleep.
"I wonder who this babysitter is…" thought Tatsumi as he quietly sang a lullaby to his baby friend.
The green-haired male was busy sucking on his fist as he was gently swayed, bounced, and rocked. His big, emerald eyes looked up at his older, green-eyed friend, who was softly singing a sweet song to him.
"Hopefully, he'll turn back to normal… He'd probably be mad if I admitted this, but he's such a cute baby!" thought the teen as he continued singing and embracing the curious baby, who was slowly getting sleepy.
The next day, everyone got their Imperial Arms and waited for the babysitter to arrive. Mine had put a blanket from her bedroom on the floor for Lubbock to sit on, and Leone had left extremely early in the morning to get baby supplies. Sheele's room had diapers and Bulat's room had baby clothes for some reason… Unfortunately, Sheele and Bulat were no longer around. Leone eventually came back with baby food, toys, a crib, and other stuff to keep the cheery, bouncy baby amused. Lubbock was currently wearing a green onesie and he was playing with blocks that were near him.
Eventually, there was a knock on the door, grabbing Night Raid's attention.
"Who is it?" asked Najenda, making sure the person at the door was the right person and not an enemy.
"Hello. My name is Toby. I'm the babysitter." said a calm, masculine voice from the other side.
The silver-haired female opened the door, and there was a skinny, tall man with light skin, dark hair in a triangular cut, and blue eyes. He had a robotic-looking hat on his head, and he was wearing small glasses that pinched his nose. He was wearing a long, blue and yellow robe, along with dark pants and brown shoes. To Tatsumi's surprise, the man's hands were made of metal. He looked mechanical, almost like a robot. Toby smiled confidently and shook Najenda's hand.
"It's nice to meet you. Sorry about that, we have a lot of enemies come by here, so we wanted to make sure you weren't an intruder."
"Hmm." hummed Toby. "I see. Your life probably isn't calm if intruders keep coming by!" He leaned his head to look behind Night Raid's boss, and he saw the little baby playing with blocks on the blanket.
"Aww… Who's this little doober?" asked the black-haired male as he walked into the building to get closer to the baby.
"That's Lubbock, we call him Lub!" exclaimed Tatsumi.
"Well, since things are going well, I guess it's safe for us to leave. Alright Night Raid, move out!" commanded Najenda.
Everyone left, with Tatsumi being the last to go out. He turned his head of spiky hair to Toby, who was curiously looking at the pudgy, green-haired baby in wonder.
"Please take really good care of him, okay?" said Tatsumi as he shut the door behind him.
Don't worry. I will." said Toby with a calm smile.
Author's Notes
Hey guys! This is my first Akame Ga Kill fanfic! Lubbock is my favorite character and I thought Toby was an interesting villain even though he didn't last long at all. One night, I had a dream of Toby of all people taking care of a cute, tiny, baby Lub! The dream barely had a plot, so I decided to expand on it in the fanfiction. The summary states that this fanfic is an AU where Toby isn't part of Team Stylish, Lubbock is a baby, Toby is OOC (out of character), it's a fluff story! The chapters will not be very long, just so you know.
