Narrator POV

Once Ayano arrived with Tetsuya, she felt the urge to chuckle at the scene before them. Ryuuichi and five toddlers were playing "Heroes vs. Villains," where Ryuuichi was the villain and the toddlers were the heroes. Feeling satisfied after a few minutes of observing, she called out:

"Excuse me, Ryuuichi-kun."

The said teen jumped before he fumbled with his tie and slowly turned around, sheepishly replying, "Yes?"

"I hope we're not intruding, but I'd like to drop Tetsuya-chan off," Ayano giggled as the child besides her intensely stared at the five new occupants in the room.

"Ah! No, you're not intruding at all! I'll introduce you to the other members of the Daycare." Ryuuichi waved his hands, then continued: "The one with short and small black eyes is Taka. The cheery one with blond hair and brown eyes is Takuma while his teary counterpart is Kazuma, they're twins. Kirin is the one with black twintails. And the blond baby on Usaida-san is Midori."

Tetsuya continued to stare at the kids with a blank face before he released a bright smile with flowers surrounding him after he concluded that the other short creatures weren't bad. The kids returned the look before they too, smiled.

While the children were playing with each other, Ayano and Ryuuichi were talking about the schedule times of the Daycare with Usaida lazily commenting about something here and there.

Time passed by with Ayano gone for work and Ryuuichi at class. The kids continued to play with Tetsuya before they all ended up doing their own things that resulted in Tetsuya hanging out with Kotarou. The blue-haired boy felt a little lonely after they left, but he didn't mind.

-With Ryuuichi-

The moment Ryuuichi arrived to class, he was greeted by a fellow classmate. "Hey Kashima! Have you heard of the new young aspiring model?"

Ryuuichi glanced at him before he laid his stuff down on his desk and replied. "No. There's a new model?"

Ryuuichi's classmate sighed, shaking their head from side to side before they showed Ryuuichi a magazine with a familiar looking baby on the cover, smiling.

The teen stared at the magazine for so long that his classmate thought something happened. Getting out of his temporary shock, he uttered, "Ah." before his body started to finally react with his eyes widening and body freezing.

"Are you okay, Kashima?" Kamitani Hayato, Taka's brother, quite good-looking with black short hair and small irises, asked as he just arrived.

"...Yeah." Ryuuichi replied.

-Time Skip-

As soon as the bell rang, Ryuuichi ran to the Daycare with the magazine in hand. Panting, he opened the door to see six toddlers in a circle talking about something.

"What's that, Ryuu-chan?" Usaida looked over his shoulder as he stopped reading his magazine.

"Did you know that Tetsuya-kun was a model?" Ryuuichi questioned as he slightly shoved the magazine in Usaida's face since he still had some shock left inside him.

"That's Tetsuya-chan? Nope. I didn't know," Usaida said, as if it was normal to be on the front cover of a popular magazine.

With the way Usaida was acting, Ryuuichi started to think, Am I overreacting? before he shook his head and decided to leave the topic for another day.

"Kashima, who's that?" Hayato appeared out of nowhere as he looked at Tetsuya.

"Huh? Oh, Tetsuya-kun? He's going to attend the Daycare starting today," Ryuuichi, after getting over the shock, replied.

Seemingly satisfied with the answer, Hayato decided to say, "I'm taking Taka."

"Okay. See ya," Ryuuichi waved.

Before Hayato could reply, Taka shouted, "I don't want to go!"

"Stop being a brat!" Hayato snapped before he hit Taka on the head.

"Stupid Aniki! I want to stay with Tetsuya-chan!" Taka cried while tugging onto Tetsuya's sleeve.

Feeling like Tetsuya will be scared, Ryuuichi shouted, "Kamitani-kun! Please don't hit him!"

"Why?" Hayato asked as he looked genuinely confused which barely showed through his hard-to-crack face.

"You're going to scare Tetsuya-kun!" Ryuuichi continued, but later regretted it as he glanced at Tetsuya.

Hayato turned around to find Tetsuya with a blank face.

"...He doesn't seem scared.''

"...E-eh? Haha. I thought for sure that he would be scared," Ryuuichi sweatdropped.

Tetsuya stared at them before he looked at Taka, crawled to him, then gently put his hand on Taka's hair and asked with puppy-dog eyes, "I'll be here tomorrow, so... can you wait till then?"

Taka seemed to be frozen in place before his face exploded with the color red and stuttered, "Y-yes! Y-you better be here t-tomorrow, Tetsuya-chan!"

"Of course," Tetsuya tilted his head and smiled.

"Let's go, stupid Aniki!" Taka shouted while Ryuuichi and Hayato sweatdropped with Usaida laughing his head off in the background.

"Hahaha... Looks like Tetsuya-kun knows what to do in situations like this," Ryuuichi awkwardly laughed as he rubbed his neck.

Taking advantage of the situation, Hayato grabbed Taka and left the Daycare with arguments here and there.

-Time Skip-

"What did you call us here for?" Takumi growled while rubbing his temples.

"We need to make a name for Tetsuya-chan!" Ayano announced with glistening eyes, ignoring his attitude.

"Oh! Oh! I know! I know!" a blond lady hyperly raised her hand with an imaginary tail wagging back and forth.

Hiromoto hummed before a lightbulb went over his head. "What about KURO?"

"What?" Ayano asked.

"KURO," Hiromoto repeated.

"No, that's too obvious and besides what part of Tetsuya-chan fits the word, KURO (black)?" Ayano rejected the idea before she scanned the room for any ideas.

"I have an idea!" the blond lady shouted still as eagerly as the previous attempt.

"K.T.?" Takumi suggested.

"Again, too obvious," Ayano sighed as she began to sink into her chair.

"I know one!" the woman shouted again, getting impatient.

"Blue-haired baby?" another person tried.

"No," Ayano deadpanned with "are you serious?" written all over it.

"I know one," the blond lady whispered as she too, begin to lower down in her chair.

-An hour later-

"Does anyone seriously not have any good ideas?" Ayano let out an irritated sigh as she rubbed her forehead.

"I know one!" the lady screamed, getting the energy back from relaxing for an hour.

Everyone coverd their ears, already used to her behavior before Ayano replied, "Whoa, no need to shout, Ryouka. What is it?"

"SORA," Ryouka replied with confidence.

Silence filled the room as Ryouka started to sweat.

"Um... was that a bad idea?" she whimpered.

"No, not at all! It's a fantastic idea! Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Ayano stood out of her chair as she grabbed Ryouka's hands.

Ryouka blushed before she realized what was said and gained a tick mark on her head, then muttered, "I was trying to get your attention this whole time."

"Oh. Well, look on the bright side! It's going to be used for Tetsuya-chan's name!" Ayano sweatdropped, noticing the aura change.

"That's the end of the meeting. You are all now dismissed!" Ayano exclaimed before the rest bowed.

"It was nice working with you!"

Ayano glanced at her watch before she realized that she was going to be late. Cursing in her mind, she ran for the train and hoped that she would make it.

When Ayano arrived, she glanced at her watch and realized that she arrived just on time and sighed in relief.

"Kuroko-san, welcome. Tetsuya-kun is sleeping near the window," Ryuuichi smiled as he stood up from his spot and walked over to her.

Ayano thanked Ryuuichi before she picked Tetsuya up, said her goodbyes, and left for their house.

Once they arrived, Ayano sluggishly got ready for bed, woke Tetsuya up and fed him before they both retired for sleep.
