#24: Quiet Family Life-Shiori POV-Kurama/Hiei
"Mother, I'm home!" Suichi's voice rang out melodically into the kitchen, "and Hiei has come with me!"
"...Hi mom," came the shy voice of my son's lover, "he's in one piece this time, I swear."
Smiling, I tucked the rice into the inarizushi, setting them neatly on a plate, "Oh good! Then you can stay for dinner! Wash up now!" I giggled to myself, knowing how Hiei hated to be told what to do. Suichi (Kurama...) called out an affirmative.
When they sat at the table, they sat next to eachother, myself across from them. No one had really decided it, but over the years, it had come to feel natural. My two strong sons sitting there, eating quietly and neatly, responding to my ritual questions.
"How was you botany exam, Suichi-chan?"
"He aced it," Hiei smirked, shoving rice into his mouth, "plus an extra thirty points for a bonus essay. As usual."
"Hiei!" Suichi elbowed him, and Hiei sniggered.
My son and son in law. My perfect little family.
