It has now been a whole year since usagi and I announced our marriage. Over all, the year went by calmly, except for the occasional reporter or super fan dropping bye, but today was slightly different, no scratch that, a lot different! It was a regular Sunday morning; usagi was at a meeting, and izuru was playing quietly in the living room, when a loud knock sounded at my door. I hesitated for a moment, the sound catching me of guard given the quiet atmosphere. it wasn't long until another knock sounded, snapping me out of my stupor. I walked quickly to the door and opened it, only to be greeted by three young women, each with a toddler around the same age as izuru.
"Umm, may I help you?" I cocked my head to the side and opened the door a little further. The blonde woman closest to the door spoke first.
"Your misaki right?"
"eh, yes I am…" the red head to the right of the blonde pushed her way further into the doorway and spoke excitedly.
"Neh, neh! Wont you have a play date with us!?" the quiet brunette next to the red head silently nodded her head and blushed with excitement.
"Eh? A play date? Here?" the blonde spoke again.
"Yes that's a great idea! Let's have the play date here! It's roomy, and there isn't really anything to break, so they can have a fun time!" without warning, all three girls pushed their way into our home and let their toddlers off their leashes (so to speak). Izuru was tackled to the ground as all three boys jumped on top of him. I didn't quite know what to do, so I just stood there watching as the three rambunctious boys rough housed with my sweet little izuru. The blonde woman placed a hand on my shoulder and led me to the kitchen were all four of us could talk in peace.
"Neh, what is it like being married to Usami?" the question caught me off guard. The red head was waiting for an answer, but I had no idea how to! Since I couldn't answer the question properly, I decided to answer a question with a question.
"Are you married?" the red head smiled and glanced over to the children.
"yes, I've been married for over five years now…shino is actually my second son, my first is nine now." I smiled warmly at her and looked to where she was looking.
"Oh, I see…if you are married, then you know what I mean when I say it can be very troublesome." All three women started to giggle, and then, all in sync they spoke.
"Sure do!" longtimesinceIlaughedlikethatwith 'tknowwhatwassofunny,Butwhat I Do know is that laughing like this with people my own age, and with People who have the same Responsibilities as me, makes the whole "play Date" thing A little more understandable… even if my Poor izuru has to Roughhouse with their Boys.
As the four of us were laughing, I failed to notice the scream that came from the living room. Izuru came running into the kitchen, crying his eyes out and speaking in mumble as he pointed to the living room. I knelt down to his level and held his shoulders tightly.
"What's the matter izuru? Did you get hurt?!" izuru shook his head and continued to point at the living room.
"a-a-a-Ahiru chan…broke!" I let out a sigh of relief and got up from my kneeling position. I patted izuru on the head and walked into the living room to see what damage was caused. The three women followed along just in case. All over the room were pieces of fuzz, and in the middle of it all were three boys and a duck torn in half. Izuru began to cry harder at the sight, and that made me feel kind of bad for him, after all, he loved that duck almost as much as he loved me, and that was a lot. I sighed again and picked up izuru off the floor.
"It's ok izuru, daddy can fix Ahiru chan…" izuru stopped crying and looked up to me with happiness glittering his purple eyes.
"Really?!" I nodded my head and smiled a big smile.
"Of course, but who broke Ahiru chan?" izuru frowned and pointed and the one blonde boy in the group. I glanced at the child's mother, and she immediately went over to her child to scold him.
"Why don't we pick up all of Ahiru Chan's insides and try to fix him, ok?" I put izuru down and he began to pick up the pieces. The other boys reluctantly helped too after their mothers had gotten on to then about it. After a few minutes, all the pieces where in one big pile; the three women took their boys back home and ended the play date, leaving me and izuru to fix his poor friend.
"Ok then, let's see what I can do." I started to stuff the stuffing back into the limp duck carefully. Izuru watched in worry, seeing as his friend was undergoing surgery, but made sure to give me room to work.
I pushed the last bit of stuffing into the body and pulled the fabric together. From what I could tell, the tare was fairly clean and just needed a good sewing up.
"Izuru, go get daddy's sewing kit so I can sew up Ahiru chan." Izuru scrambled off the ground and rushed up the stairs, into my room. A few seconds later, he emerged from the room and carefully walked down the stairs, not wanting to drop the needles. When he got down, he handed me the box, then sat down next to me.
"Izuru, can you do me a favor?" izuru nodded his head in anticipation.
"Can you hold Ahiru chan together while I thread the needle?" izuru nodded his head again and grabbed the place where I was holding. I let go of the duck and quickly searched through the sewing kit for the right needle and color of thread. When I finally found it, I began to thread the needle. When I was done with that, I started to sew up the duck. Five minutes passed, and finally the last stich was pulled. Izuru cried with excitement and pulled the duck into a hug. I smiled gently at the sight and quietly got up off the ground. As soon as I did that, my legs where squeezed to death in a lovely little bear hug.
"Thank you daddy!"
From that day onward, I never had another play date, even though it was nice to have friends, I couldn't bear to have izuru so sad. Instead of play dates, I took izuru to the park more often, and let him socialize there. But I had no idea of the consequences that would take place for taking him to the park more often….
