Dinner was, as he expected, absolutely wonderful. While he did know how to cook and Karaat was pretty decent at it, the deadlies and Murasaki were way better at it. He usually helped whenever he had time, though most nights he volunteered to do the dishes since they had cooked. Ichiru was happily eating her grilled onigiri which looked almost ridiculously huge compared to the others. She offered to share but they politely declined and she went back to eating.
Luckily, despite being a large family, thanks to their jobs and money that had been saved up, they could afford large meals. On the table tonight was the onigiri, grilled steak, and ramen. Nene and Murasaki was making sure the kids didn't choke, especially as Miyuki had practically tried to shove her face into the plate that had ramen noodles and some rice mashed up and mixed together. She was hungrier than Karaat thought she would be.
"Nene, swap with me and eat while I help her." Karaat said. After all, his ramen was still a bit too hot to eat. Once she nodded, he moved to stand near the high chair as he patted her head. "Woah, easy darling. We don't need you choking." As she made a sound, he smiled softly. "Here, let me help." And so, they fell into an easy pattern, as they did most nights. He swapped out with some of the girls throughout the meal so everyone could eat without having to wait or their food to get cold.
Afterwards, he helped Nene with bathing the kids and getting them ready for bed. Though, of course, they might be a bit energetic for another few hours, at least they would be bathed. And hopefully the lavender soap would help wear them out. He glanced over, smiling slightly. "Ichiru seemed happy with her prize."
"I'm sure she'll be happy with her other prize tonight," she said smirking when Karaat blushed. "You act like we don't know what's going to happen. Or that this is new. Please, it's fine."
"Is there anyone else joining?" He asked, washing Takamichi's hair and making sure none of the suds got in his face. While the bed in the master bath was large enough for all of them to fit, something that apparently Kars had done, most of the time, not all of them slept in the same room. Some nights it was only one of the girls with him, and sometimes it was a few. It all depended on what they wanted to do and if there were any plans for sex that night. There usually was, but once in a while they were too tired to do anything and usually crashed wherever they could find a spot that fit them, a blanket, and a pillow.
"I think just Mari. I'm a bit too tired so no breast milk for you, sorry." As he pouted, she shook her head muttering, "Jeez you're a damned menace."
"Not my fault all of you are deliciously tasty." He laughed softly, smiling. "Fine, I'll behave. But you and Sakura are overdue." As she smirked and playfully shoved him, he winked. "Oh, please. You miss it." And he knew she couldn't deny that.
Eventually, the kids got to sleep. Relieved, he washed up as well and changed into some boxer briefs, having a feeling they wouldn't be on for long. Luckily, all he had to do was grade some papers before school on Monday. As long as he got up early and wasn't distracted by anyone, he could probably get them done before everyone got up. Then they could go shopping and celebrate finding Pucci.
Once he was ready, he went to the main bedroom, smirking as he saw Mari and Ichiru in the bed. They were both wearing lingerie, clearly waiting for him. Mari was wearing a dark red set and Ichiru was wearing a purple set. It looked like the sets were the same design, which meant they had went shopping together for them. Smirking slightly, he was glad he had already said goodnight to the girls, who were planning to watch some movies in the living room before crashing in the second largest bed. Shutting and locking the door, he smirked. "So, ready for your training?"
