Hello everyone! This is the last chapter of Little devils, I hope you will like it.
It all happened so fast, he wasn't expecting this outcome. Not in those circumstances.
At the hospital, lying in a baby bed was an infant. His. A newborn baby carrying his genes. He only learned today that he was now a father. The mother denied her parental rights over the baby, meaning he was the only parent they had.
It all started when his parents told him he was old enough to get married and have kids. To please the expectation of his parents, Mizorogi had tried to date a woman, but it didn't last long. He stopped seeing her for a while and nine months later, the hospital called him to announce him he was now a father.
"It's a girl," the nurse told him. "Would you like to hold her?"
Mizorogi wasn't sure if it was right. He didn't know what to do. It had been barely an hour he knew he had a child. Was he really ready for that? He didn't have the mother to raise her, he will be a single father. But he felt like he had a responsibility towards her. He was his father after all and she had no one else. It was his duty as a man and a father to take care of her.
"Yes, I would like to," Mizorogi finally replied.
The nurse smiled at him and she went to take the baby, Mizorogi felt nervous. He never held a baby before, let alone his own baby. The nurse approached him with the infant and he opened his arms, ready to hold his child. The nurse gently put the baby into his arms. The baby was so light in his arms, she looked so fragile, yet so pure and innocent. He looked at her sleeping face and a smile appeared on his lips. She was his daughter. She had his hair. Just by looking at her, he knew he wasn't committing a mistake. He was ready to take care of her and raise her, protect her, and make sure she'll be happy and have a good life.
An unexpected guest came to visit Mizorogi a couple of days later. He remained surprised in the doorframe, gazing at his visitor.
"Well, it's not a way to look at your old senpai after such a long time," Kaiba said with a smirk.
"Kaiba-senpai! What...what are you doing here?"
"Since when do I need a reason to come visit my cute kouhai? It has been years since we haven't seen each other, and I was feeling like seeing you. May I come in?"
It had indeed been years since he hadn't seen is old senpai. Mizorogi appreciated Kaiba, but he also felt weird around him. There was some feeling in his chest when he was looking at Kaiba, and it felt...warm. He wasn't sure what it was, but it wasn't unpleasant. Quite the contrary.
"Y-Yes, of course. Come on in," Mizorogi replied nervously.
He let Kaiba came into his house. The latter looked around, still smirking. Without waiting for Mizorogi, he started to walk around the house, making himself at home. Mizorogi followed him, unsure what to do, and they ended up in the living room. Lying in a baby bed was Mizorogi's daughter. Kaiba stopped when he saw her and turned towards his kouhai.
"Ataru-kun...since when do you have one of those?" Kaiba asked.
"It's...a long story…"
"You're married?"
"No, I..I'm not with the mother anymore. I'm raising her alone."
"Oh, I see," Kaiba said with what seemed to be relief in his voice. "So, my cute kouhai is no longer a virgin uh. How was it? Did you like it?"
Mizorogi immediately blushed, embarrassed.
"It...it was fine, I guess...And it's something private! ...what about you? Did you...with a woman before?"
"Nope. I'm not interested into women to begin with," Kaiba replied.
It took a moment for Mizorogi to understand what it meant and he remained shocked.
"So you...you're…"
"I like men," Kaiba said. "Especially cute ones like you."
Suddenly, it became clear. Kaiba liked him, more than just a friend. Mizorogi wasn't sure how to feel about that. He liked Kaiba too, but he didn't know if his feelings about him were the same.
"So, what's her name?" Kaiba asked.
"Oh, uh, it's Asuka."
"Mizorogi Asuka… I like that. But being a single father can be hard, you sure you'll be able to do that on your own? If you want, I could help you. I'm used to dealing with kids."
"Really? Well, if you propose, I suppose I can accept. I don't have any experience and I want to be sure to be a good father to her. So if you can help me, that would be great, thanks."
"No problem. This way I would have more occasion to spend time with you," Kaiba said with a grin.
Mizorogi blushed at this insinuation. Spending more time with Kaiba...it wasn't an unpleasant idea. He kind of look forward to this. And it was for the best of his daughter. He looked at her fondly, then at Kaiba. He wondered how his relationship with him will evolve and if it was possible for him to share the same feelings as Kaiba.
If so, then it would be good for Asuka. She won't only have one father to take care of her, but two.
