Baby Usui
Becoming a family part 2
Misaki's POV
My excitement rapidly grew as I raced through the store, browsing through the many pieces of furniture. Beds to desks, toys to storage units, my happiness soared until I caught a glimpse of the price tags, then my high attitude sunk to the ground as I walked off sulking. Little did I know that Takumi was stalking behind me chuckling to himself over my old habits. His hand grabbed mine, forcing me to turn to look at him.
"Misaki stop looking at the prices, remember we are in this together, you don't have to rely on just yourself anymore, so please let me help provide for you and Ryoichi." Takumi pleaded. My heart ached at the sight of his puppy face. I sighed deeply, annoyed at my old habit. I needed to stop only thinking of myself and let Takumi into my life more.
"You're right, we're both adopting Ryo, were in this together so we'll provide for him together." I replied with a small smile before my smile turned into a chuckle.
"I'm sorry, I guess I'm just not used to having someone else to rely on other then myself." Takumi smiled but faltered slightly at my confession. I noticed quickly and hurried to cheer him up by sprinting away to the bed section, laughing uncontrollably as I ran.
"Oh, so you want to play now, my little Misa-chan?" Takumi smirked striding after me, clearly not finding the challenge of hide and seek to hard, as he rounded the corner to the high bed I was hiding behind. My hand was glued to my mouth miserably attempting to keep my soft giggles from escaping my lips. Footsteps grew quite and the air laid still, no sound could be heard around me.
'Maybe he went down a different aisle?' I wondered, slowly retreating from my hiding place.
"Where is he?" I glanced around, searching for the tall blonde haired boy. Adrenalin filled my system making my heart race with joy and my stomach turn with the fear of being caught.
"Miss me?" Came a whispered reply came from behind he, making my skill crawl as I jumped from fright and land on the floor with a thud. A thunderous laugh filled the air as Takumi clutched his aching stomach as he laughed uncontrollably. I would have gave him a deadly glare if my attention wasn't already fixed on the oak high bed that I had been previously hid behind. Takumi finally stopped laughing enough to notice my blank stare, curiously he looked round to the piece of furniture.
"Takumi, it's perfect."

My breath was taken away from the sight of Ryuichi's room. We had bought the high bed from the store which stood proudly in the right hand corner of one of the spare rooms. The bed stood at 7 feet tall with a slanted ladder giving access to the spacious king size bed at the top. A double wardrobe with a dresser took up the left side of the bed, allowing plenty of room for all of Ryu's new clothes giving the rest of the room a spacious feel. The front of the bed had two shelving systems that surround a sliding door, which behind hid a cozy study area complete with desk and chair. Next to Ryuichi's bed stood a tall Tetris lamp which could be rearranged to the boys imagination and could be switched off with the use of a simple remote.
On the other side of the room was another shelving unit, jam packed with superhero comics and various Manga, also a vast range of DVDs and Anime to keep the little boy entertained when Takumi and I were preoccupied with other things. Takumi even insisted on buying Ryuichi a TV which stood on the top shelf of the unit so he could watch it from the comfort of his bed.
Three multicoloured toy boxes stood against one of the walls, each one smaller then the last to create a stair effect. Each box was filled with various toys from anime and cartoons that Ryuichi had told us he liked. The walls themselves were decorated with wall art of said anime. Mainly FMAB.
I smiled at the sight, the room wasn't packed with furniture thanks to the bed which would give Ryoichi plenty of room to play, and the study meant he would have a place where he could escape the world and be on his own if he ever needed. A strong hand rested on my shoulder making me look up to see Takumi standing behind me.
"See I said you didn't need to worry, we made the perfect room for 'Ichi' and it didn't cost us a yen." He smirked, hiding the annoyance. I giggled slightly, finding his desire to provide for 'his' family rather adorable.
"I know, I can't believe Gerard gave us that credit card. Do you think he's finally trying to make up for all those years he and you grandfather ignored you?" I asked not realising what I said until it was too late. Takumi scoffed
"What ever he's doing I don't like it." Takumi replied grumpily. I looked back to the room and remembered how Gerard had been to the hospital to visit Ryoichi every other day since we told the small boy that he would be living with us now.
"I'm just glad 'Ryo' likes him. If he is going to part of our family then he needs to get along with your brother. I don't want him to be caught up in all this mess." I confessed. Takumi wrapped his arms around me comfortingly.
"Me too, I just can't help but feel like this is all to good to be true, first we lose one of the triplets, then we find Ryoichi and now my brother is being nice to me. I just can't help but feel like something bad is going to happen." I nodded in agreement, things have been going too well since Ryoichi's operation. But maybe all the bad times are other and this is the Kami's blessing to us.
"I guess we won't know if something will happen until it does, for now we can only look forward to tomorrow when 'Ryo' comes home." I reassured, imagining the look on Ryoichi's face when we finally bring him home.
