Prompt by: darkiss0777
Lin walked through the front door completely exhausted. She shrugged off her armour until she was only left clad in her tank top and pants. She trudged up the stairs, letting out a yawn as she stretched. Pushing the door open to the bedroom she shared with her husband, Bumi, Lin found him asleep with their son, who was sleeping peacefully on his chest. She couldn't help but smile at the scene. Ever since their son, Hakoda, was born five months ago, Bumi had taken a liking to having him sleep on his chest. He called it their father son bonding regime.
"How was work Linny?" Bumi asked drowsily, not fully awake yet. His voice caused Hakoda to shift in his sleep.
"shhhh. You're going to wake him." Lin sauntered over to them, taking a seat on the edge of the bed, she ran a hand over his little back. Smiling as she felt his strong heart beat. "Did you two do anything else besides sleeping?"
Bumi yawned before answering her. "Yeah. We played peekaboo, I'm coming to get you."
Lin cocked an eyebrow at the name of the strange game. "Peekaboo, I'm coming to get you? You want to fill me in on the details?"
"Well I noticed I didn't have his full attention when we were playing regular peekaboo. He was more interested in that stuffed badgermole you got him last week. So I used the badgermole to play peekaboo with him. He lost interest in that after an hour, so I put on a scary voice and mocked fight with the stuffed toy. The kid loved it. He couldn't stop laughing. It was adorable. I'm telling you he is going to take after my adventurous side."
Lin lay down on the bed, careful not to jostle Hakoda. "I can't believe you played over an hour of peekaboo. Though I am glad to see my two boys had a good day. Especially in this heat." Today Republic City had entered its longest heat wave ever. It had been seven days straight, where the temperature has stayed over thirty degrees. The highest being thirty-nine.
"Yeah. You made the right move with insulating the walls with clay. I thought you were crazy but it has stayed really cool in here. How was your day?"
"The air conditioners stopped working and I couldn't take my uniform off because I was interrogating all day. I wanted to leave and burry myself in the ground like I used to do when I was a kid."
"I feel sorry for you. Maybe you should take a day off and spend it with Hakoda and me. I can tell he misses you when you go to work."
Lin sighed, as there was truth in his words. Every time she was about to leave for work, he would let out a whimper. She wanted to go to him and hold him close but knew her responsibilities prevented her from doing so. She laid on her back and pulled Hakoda onto her chest. Happy to have him close again. She let her hand run down the length of his body slowly. Enjoying the feel of his heartbeat and his calm breathing. "You go have a shower and I'll have one when you finish."
Bumi got undressed before entering the adjoining bathroom. He remerged five minutes later to find Lin snoring lightly and their son sucking his thumb, more than happy to sleep on her chest. "That is just precious. Now where is that camera?"
