N is for "Nosy"

"Daddy, daddy!" He heard his son's little footsteps running towards him. Hatori turned and looked down at him.

"What is it?" Hatori saw his son smile.

"Nooothing, I just wanted to see you!" Hatori smiled and rubbed his head. The son watched as his father turned back to his work and started typing again. "Whatcha doing?" He tried looking at the screen, but no avail.

"You're being awfully nosy tonight," Hatori replied.

"I don't know what that means, daddy."

"It means you want to know what I'm doing."

"Oh!" The little boy started to giggle. "I thought you were talking to mommy, actually! Are you doing boring, yucky stuff?" He clearly did not like what Hatori did as a job.

"Yes, unfortunately," he replied.

The little boy groaned. "Come play outside with me, daddy!" Hatori looked over and frowned.

"Wish I could, but I have to finish this tonight. I will later, okay?" His son beamed—like his mother.

"Promise!" Hatori nodded.

"Promise," the little boy threw up his arms in excitement and ran out the door. Hatori watched him run and close the door behind him. He found it amusing.

So did she. "It's amazing how you can stay quiet like that," he whispered. He popped open another window, and Tohru's smiling face appeared. He smiled.

"He's just like you!" She teased.

"I beg to differ," he leaned back in his chair. He wanted a bit of alone time, personally, with Tohru. "When will you be back?"

"Not until tomorrow afternoon," she replied. She was over at Shigure's place, for Kyo's wedding (Hatori had work, he couldn't go). It seemed that Kagura was in fact marrying him after all. "Then I'll be back home and with you two again! Shigure wishes you were here," Hatori frowned.

"His wishes will not be fulfilled for a while, then," she giggled. He felt his whole body relax when he heard her laugh. "I miss you," he whispered. Hatori saw her hand reach for the camera, as if wanting to touch him.

"I miss you too," she whined. He leaned forward in his chair and reached out to touch his camera. Miles apart, but he still felt like she was there. For a minute, they just stared into each other's eyes.

Then they heard their son in the background. "Ew! I knew that's what you were doing!" Hatori watched as Tohru laughed.

"I think he picked up your curious gene, Hatori!" He could only laugh.

"But he picked up your cute side," she smiled. He definitely missed his family being altogether. He just had to make it through one more day.
