Nana: I wrote this one because, well, I can't imagine Akito liking lullabies. At all. And I like writing him being belligerent over small things. Anyway, hope you like!
Aki In The Bath
Title: I Hate Lullabies
Prompt: 098. Writer's Choice: Lullaby (courtesy of Perished Love)
Rating: PG-13
The song is shrieking in Akito's ears, grinding his brain down to dust. The soft notes and maternal crooning make him want rip the baby from his mother's arms and stomp his skull to bits.
As the anger mounts, Hatori takes his arm and leads him back into the Main House. Akito fights this for maybe ten seconds before he gives in, and then he flops into Hatori's arms, says, "I hate lullabies. They're so sappy. My parents certainly didn't do anything ridiculous like that when I was little."
"I'm sorry," Hatori says, "perhaps that would have done you good."
