This is a roleplay story done by KurokoTetsuya101 and The Lucky Bell.
The day they've all been waiting for has finally arrived. They knew that one day it would happen but they didn't think it would be this soon. Kuroko was a bit gloomy but at the same time excited. His little boys are finally going to attend school! Today is their first day in kindergarten so both Akashi and Kuroko were very nervous. How would they behave amongst other children? Will they be accepted? Will they find friends?
Kuroko especially couldn't help but worry. His own school life hasn't been a walk in the park... it was so bad that it scarred him for life, especially since it began from his early years. He met Haizaki in kindergarten, and that's when it all began for him. The endless bullying and torture of a school life... He was scared... He didn't want his children to go through the same thing as he did.
But although Kuroko was worrying, Sora and Seikatsu didn't have a care in the world. The two children were running around the house, playing with Nigou while Kuroko was preparing breakfast and making their school lunches. Meanwhile, Akashi was sitting on the table, reading newspapers and drinking coffee.
"Waaa! Run Sora!"
"Hahaha!"
"Woff! Woff!"
Kuroko was keeping an ear on the kids and Nigou, making sure they didn't get into trouble. They've broken a few things before just running around the house, and he really didn't want it to repeat.
"Can you believe it...? It's their first day." He was excited yes, but he showed more anxiety than excitement. "Do you think they'll be okay?"
Akashi sighed, more than aware that his husband/wife has been on edge since the morning. "You worry too much Tetsuya. Don't you have faith in our children?" He said before turning the page, noticing the large title that spread throughout, 'The Akashi Corporation - A power giant', which made the redhead smirk in content.
"Besides, you'll be there to make sure everything is okay." Akashi sipped on his coffee.
"But... kids are so unpredictable and..." You could never truly know what's going to happen. Just like with him. He didn't want his kids to go through so many years of torture from bullying.
"I understand your worries Tetsuya but they have to learn. The society and people around them won't cuddle with them as we do. They have to learn what the real world is and the best way to do so is to interact with other children their age. They might even be in the same class so they can help each other. Plus, you'll be there, right in the next classroom. It's more than safe." Akashi assured.
"I guess you're right..." The kids really did need to learn. He could only hope they don't learn the way he did. He wanted his kids to have a few years of childhood before being forced to grow up. "At least now I can finally use that car you got me to drive them to school~"
Akashi smirked, turning to look at his husband/wife, "Love, you can use it for whatever you want~ However, I'm really surprised you passed the tests. I was afraid you would kill yourself." When Kuroko was applying for his driving license and went to drive with the instructor... well, let's just say the man had a lot of work to do. The written exam was easy but the actual driving had Akashi worried.
"Please drive safely." The redhead couldn't help but worry... maybe he shouldn't have gotten Kuroko a car after all…
"Look, I'll be fine okay? I can drive just fine, don't make it sound like I drive like a maniac." Kuroko pouted. "And you know I'll be extra careful with the kids in the car."
Akashi stood up, placing the newspapers on the table before walking over to the bluenette and embracing him from the back, "I can't help but worry. My whole life's meaning will be in the car." He gently tightened his hold on the bluenette, but it didn't hinder the other from cooking, "Maybe I should come with you since it's the first day."
Kuroko sighed but leaned on Akashi to show he wasn't upset or angry. "Alright fine. As long as you aren't late."
"Late? Love, when I say that I would come with you, I mean it literally. Meaning with you and the kids, and with you driving us all~" The redhead smirked.
"You're going to judge my driving skills." Kuroko pouted, glancing back at the other. "If you're coming with us, don't say anything."
"You know me so well love~" Akashi leaned in, placing his head at the crook of Kuroko's neck while the other was cooking, "I promise I won't~" He tightened his hold on the other as Kuroko tilted his head to the side. Their eyes closed halfway as they leaned in for a kiss, however...
BAM! The sound of glass shattering shook throughout the whole house.
Kuroko sighed and turned off the stove. The food was done anyway. He made Akashi let go. "Let's go check on them." If either of them go hurt or messy just before school…
The parents hurried to the living room, worried for the children. However, when they got there they saw Sora and Seikatsu standing next to the couch, with Sora holding Nigou in his arms. Both of them had a guilty look. "Sorry." They muttered, lowering their heads with Nigou whining as well.
The vase they had on their table was shattered on the floor in pieces... It was one of the gifts Akashi gave Kuroko while they were still in high school. One day he bought flowers but decided to take a vase as well, although now it is in shatters.
Kuroko closed his eyes to keep calm. At least no one was hurt... "How many times have I told you two not to play chase in the house? Running in general is dangerous." He scolded the two.
"B-But Nigou was chasing us..."
"We had to run." They tried to explain but Akashi raised a brow. "Even though it was you who stole his bone?" The two quickly lowered their heads again, not being able to counter their father who told the truth. Akashi would always know what they're doing and scold them afterwards when they're guilty.
"This vase was very precious to papa and me." Akashi told the two as he kneeled down to pick up the pieces of glass, making the two even guiltier. "Sorry."
If the kids weren't so young and at risk of hurting themselves in the process, Kuroko would have made them clean it up. "Breakfast is done anyway. Go to the table and wait for me to plate it." He told them, watching as they shyed their way into the kitchen. Kuroko sighed and looked at Akashi. "Want me to get the broom?"
Akashi shook his head; "It would be better if we vacuum it because of the dog." If Nigou stepped on glass then it would be a problem, "I'll do it. You can go back into the kitchen and make sure they don't do anything else."
"Okay... please be careful." Kuroko said and kissed his husbands cheek before returning to the kitchen. Sora and Seikatsu were sitting quietly at the table, still looking guilty. Nigou was whimpering at their feet.
"You realize your mistakes right?" He asked as he put the food onto plates to serve to the children.
"No running in the house... we're sorry." Sora apologized softly. Kuroko walked over and sat out food for them. It was a good thing he got better at cooking years ago, otherwise they would have had trouble since Akashi was too busy to cook every meal unlike Kuroko.
"Papa, the eggs aren't smiling." Seikatsu pouted, looking at his food.
"I don't know, do you think you two deserve a smile today?" Kuroko crossed his arms. "If you promise to be good in school today, maybe I'll make them smile."
The two lowered their heads, fidgeting with the ends of their shirts. Angry papa is a scary papa. "We promise." They spoke in a lowered tone when they noticed Akashi coming into the kitchen. The redhead arched a brow before smiling, "Don't be too hard on them papa~ It's just a vase."
"Yes but they still need to learn. It's not like I'm grounding them or anything." Kuroko huffed towards Akashi, retrieving the ketchup to draw smiles on the eggs like the kids wanted. "You should start eating too. We need to go soon."
"Grumpy." Akashi walked over to the table and sat with his family, sipping on his coffee. "How about we go for a helicopter ride after school? That is only if you're good in school."
"Really!? We'll be good!" Seikatsu and Sora both said in unison as they eagerly began eating their food. "Now, what do you say before you begin eating?" Akashi scolded.
"Itadakimasu!"
Kuroko gave Akashi a look that said "Really, a helicopter?!" But he didn't say anything aloud. He just sighed and placed down Akashi's food before placing down his own. "You're afraid of me driving but you're willing to fly a helicopter with the kids?"
"I've been flying the helicopter for years now, and unlike you, I have much more driving experience." Akashi had his driver's license even before they graduated, unlike Kuroko who just received his not long ago. "Maybe you've forgotten who you've married love~ Make a wish and it will come true. Perhaps we could travel to Europe for the weekend on a private plane~ But of course, I would be the pilot." The redhead teased, but he wasn't far away from the truth. In reality, their family is rich. It's only due to Kuroko's insistence that Akashi isn't able to show it that much, that and his lover thinks he would spoil the children.
"It wouldn't be wise to go on a vacation over just the weekend. Especially when school just started." Kuroko sighed. His rich lover was so confident... He didn't even realize that half the things he offered to do were things most people couldn't even dream of. "Maybe on a break."
Akashi gave Kuroko a look, the two really won't agree on this. Never. Ever since they graduated, Akashi wanted to spoil his children while Kuroko didn't want that. Well, at least now they've reached an agreement. Akashi gets to spoil everyone, but not all the time. "Next break it is then." But Kuroko was right; Akashi wouldn't want to interfere with his children's studies.
While the parents were making plans, Seikatsu ate the egg but then suddenly a piece fell on his shirt. Not wanting his parents to scold him further, he quickly placed it in his mouth, although the stain was still there.
"And maybe Europe is too extreme..." Kuroko continued on the conversation since he didn't notice Seikatsu.
"But we want to travel!" Sora insisted, excited about going somewhere new.
"One day we can go to Europe, I'm just saying maybe not so soon... We'll talk about this later. Just focus on breakfast." Kuroko said.
"Why go later when we can go now?" Akashi asked, confused. Why waste the opportunity if you have it?
"Instead of Europe, why don't we go somewhere closer? Like... Mt. Fuji or something." Kuroko suggested. "We can go to somewhere foreign when the kids had a bit of experience travelling. And besides, they won't know what anything says or what other people or saying."
"That's why we're going, so that they can learn. Don't you think it's best to study when you're in a new environment? They'll have experience from a young age which will give them an advantage over the others." It's best if you start early, when the children still have the passion and fresh minds to learn.
"I guess... but I still think they should have experience first..." Kuroko pouted and just focused on eating his breakfast.
Akashi raised a spoon to his lips, eating the piece of egg that was on it. "We can talk about it later tonight." Akashi suggested while Seikatsu tried to rub away the stain with his hand, hiding it under the table from his parent's eyes.
Kuroko just huffed and tried to focus on breakfast. However he noticed Seikatsu acting sneaky and looked over at him. "Seikatsu? Everything alright?"
The child looked right up, "Y-Yes papa. I'm okay." He stopped rubbing the stain, not to be suspicious.
"Are you sure? You aren't hiding anything right?" Kuroko asked softly. "It's okay to tell me okay? Tell me now and nothing bad will happen." After all if you punish a child for their honesty, they start to lie.
Seikatsu hesitated, playing with the end of his shirt. "S-Sorry papa. The egg fell on my shirt." Seikatsu lifted up his shirt to show Kuroko the stain. What's worse, it wasn't just any kind of shirt, but his new school uniform.
Kuroko stared at the stain, trying hard not to sigh. Why on his new school uniform? His only one? It would be impolite and even unacceptable to wear whatever he wanted, so Seikatsu couldn't change. They couldn't clean the stain before school either... "It's okay.. It wasn't your fault." Hopefully it wouldn't be too noticeable since it was a small stain.
"I'm sorry papa." Seikatsu didn't want to cause more trouble for his parents than he already did but what's done is done. The child went on to finish his breakfast, as they were all slowly finishing up. When Akashi ate, he stood up and went to put his and Sora's dish away, noticing a cleaning product on the table. "Come here Seikatsu." He called the child who came.
"We might be able to use this." Dish cleaning products may do enough to get the grease out at least. If that's gone then it may be able to dry. It's better than nothing.
"Be careful with those." Kuroko warned. He didn't want Seikatsu to get hurt by the chemicals somehow. The kids were troublemakers whether it was on purpose or not, so it could happen.
He got up to put his dish away before going to Sora who was waiting patiently. "Will you get Seikatsu ready once you finish trying to clean his shirt?" He asked, picking up Sora playfully. They had to get their coats and book bags on, and then head to the car.
"Yes, I just need a second to clean this off." Akashi kneeled down next to Seikatsu so that he could clean his shirt. "You can wait for us in the car if you want." Akashi suggested since it might take a while for Kuroko to start it up and adjust the mirrors and so on.
"Okay. Don't take too long." Kuroko said and carried Sora out to the living room where he got him all ready to go with his jacket and bag. Then he took him out to the car, getting him seated before getting in to start it up.
It didn't take long for Akashi and Seikatsu to come out of the house after them. The redhead first put Seikatsu into his seat (special seat for children), before going up to sit next to Kuroko.
"Look papa! All clean!" Seikatsu said, trying to make his papa happy.
Kuroko looked back and smiled a little. "That's good. Be careful next time okay?" He warned. "Alright, are you guys excited for school?"
"Yeah!" Sora said immediately. Finally they'd be able to grow up and eventually get to drive cars or helicopters like their parents.
"Yeah!" Seikatsu cheered right after Sora but then... "Woff!" It couldn't be... Akashi turned around, "Sora, Seikatsu, did you bring Nigou?"
"Open the bag, Sora." Kuroko said softly. "No." Sora immediately refused with a pout.
"Please papa don't look inside." Seikatsu pleaded.
"You know pets aren't allowed in school. You can play with him when you come back home." But Akashi's words made Sora tighten his hold on his bag.
But now that Kuroko thought about it, Nigou would be left all alone most of the day... But they couldn't bring a pet into school. "You can't bring Nigou. You'll get in trouble.." Kuroko tried to convince them.
"But.. he'll be alone!" Sora insisted.
"Nigou will cry!" Seikatsu added as the little puppy whined inside the bag. The parents were at a loss. They can't bring the dog along into the school but if he stays, then he'll be home alone. Akashi thought of an idea but hesitated, oh~ the things he does for his family~ "I'll take him with me to work then."
"Really?" Sora asked happily. Kuroko on the other hand looked with surprise. "You will?" Akashi hated dogs! "He won't distract you?"
"I'm sure he won't." Akashi looked back and saw Nigou's eyes staring at him from within the bag, "No need to worry." Besides if he really does distract him, then he can tell his employees to take care of it. Now that he thought about it, he could probably give Nigou to Mibuchi for the day. It'll be a perfect opportunity to get rid of Mibuchi's annoying whining and the dog's barking. Two birds with one stone.
"Well that's very kind of you Seijuuro." Kuroko teased, looking at the other before back at Seikatsu and Sora. "Next time, why don't you just ask us? If he had gotten into school, you could've gotten in big trouble."
"Sorry." The two apologized along with Nigou who whined inside the bag. It seems they're even bigger troublemakers today... probably because of school. Kuroko started up the engine with Akashi watching him, but not saying anything of course. Seikatsu fidgeted with his shirt, the fact that he's going to school hit him just now. "Papa, what do you do in school?"
"Well, you learn. It's really fun, I promise." Kuroko said, glancing back at them before completely focusing before him. "You learn stuff that you need to know to become big people, like me and your father."
The two children couldn't help but be nervous, "Will you go to school with us?"
"Of course. I'll actually be teaching you guys." Kuroko smiled happily. "But sadly your father has work to do. But at least he'll be with Nigou."
"Papa will teach us?" The two children lit up, excited that they won't be alone. Akashi smiled as well, "You know you won't be their home teacher right? Because you're their parent, they're placing them in a classroom next to yours."
"Yes I know." Kuroko didn't want to be reminded. They couldn't be placed into his class because he might favor them over the other kids. But that didn't mean he wasn't going to teach them anything. "Don't remind me." He pouted.
Akashi smirked as they stopped at the traffic light, surprisingly Kuroko was doing much better than he thought, probably because the children were in the car as well. They drove but didn't drive for long because the kindergarten was close to their house. When they arrived, Kuroko parked at his employee paring space before turning off the car.
Akashi couldn't help but ask the question he always did, "Do you still want to work here?" With the money they have, Kuroko could afford to live a life of leisure at home, not having to worry about anything else, yet for some reason the bluenette always refused.
"Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?" Kuroko asked with a sigh. "I like kids and I like teaching them. I'm not giving that up okay?" He told Akashi as he helped Seikatsu out the car. He also made sure there really was no more stain.
His husband/wife was really stubborn. Akashi sighed as he helped Sora out of the car, helping him put on his school bag and taking out Nigou in the process. He placed the little puppy inside the car to wait for him. Since dogs or any kind of pets aren't allowed inside, Nigou will have to wait in the car.
While Kuroko was helping him put on his bag, Seikatsu noticed something, "Papa, we didn't brush your hair today." Taking the long strand of teal blue hair in his tiny hands.
"It's okay. You can brush it when we get home." Kuroko promised, gently patting Seikatsu's head. "Let's just focus on school, okay?"
"Okay." The small child excitedly said as he took Kuroko's hand. Akashi and Sora were ready as well and so the family went into the school. Sora and Seikatsu were nervous but Kuroko kept trying to ease them up. When they entered the hallway, the small children were surprised to see other children with their parents and some teachers wearing aprons.
Still nervous, the two children his behind their parents as a teacher approached them. "Good morning Kuroko-sensei. Are these the little angels I heard so much about?" She looked down at Seikatsu and Sora but the two held onto their parents tightly, hiding behind them.
"Yes. They were pretty excited for school." Kuroko said, looking down at them. They were shy... It was so cute! "It's okay Sora, Seikatsu. She's a teacher as well, like papa."
The two peeked from behind their parents, their cheeks red. "H-Hello." Seikatsu gathered the courage to say but Sora went back to hiding. The teacher, Kuroko's co-worker Rin smiled, "Hello Seikatsu and Sora. From today on I'll be your homeroom teacher. If you need any help, please don't be afraid to come to me." She smiled.
"Okay." Seikatsu said for the both of them as Rin looked back up at Kuroko, "Don't worry Kuroko-sensei, I will do my best to teach these two."
"I don't doubt you." But he was jealous. This person would get to teach his kids. They're so lucky. "Now be nice to her." He said to his children. He kneeled down to hug them. "Give your father a hug. He has work too."
After tightly hugging their papa, they went to hug their father. "Bye father." They said but were reluctant on letting go. "Now, let's go and meet your classmates." Rin extended her hands, which the two hesitantly took. "Be good." Akashi smiled as he watched his two boys leave. The two were looking back at them while walking away. Kuroko noticed even one tear on Sora's face but... they had to learn.
Akashi placed his arms around Kuroko's waist, "Hopefully Sora won't cry." Akashi smiled softly. Children grow so fast.
"I'm kind of worried. It's the first time they're going to spend most of their day with other kids." Kuroko hoped they would all get along. "I wish they were in my class…"
Akashi smiled, placing a soft kiss on Kuroko's head. "We'll get through this. Afterwards it'll be easier." They'll all get used to the new regime. Akashi raised his hand to look at his watch and noticed that it was already 10 am. "I have to go." But then he noticed his husband's expression, "Don't worry Tetsuya. As soon as you know it, classes will end and we'll all be back home."
"Okay.." Kuroko looked back at the other. "Please take it easy. And keep your eye on Nigou please." He said. "Now I have to go. I love you Seijuuro."
"I love you too." Akashi placed one more kiss on top of Kuroko's head before walking away, waving at his lover.
Kuroko watched the other walk away before heading to his classroom. He just hoped the kids would be okay... Meanwhile the kids were staying together. They never separated, especially when other kids approached them to ask for names.
"What's your name?" One of the boys asked Sora as children began surrounding them. The poor bluenette was too shy to reply, noticing this, Seikatsu stood in front of him. "His name is Sora, my brother. I'm Seikatsu. Nice to meet you." The small child greeted but one of the girls raised a brow. "But you don't look like brothers." She wondered as Rin-sensei called everyone, "Alright class, let's begin."
The children that surrounded them dispersed, but Seikatsu still help Sora's hand tightly.
"It's fine if we have different hair colors... right?" Sora asked his brother nervously as they went to a table to sit at together.
"Father and Papa both have different hair colors too so it's okay." Seikatsu assured as they sat down. The first thing they would be doing is drawing so Rin-sensei gave everyone a piece of paper and coloured pencils to draw with. "Alright class, today I want you to draw anything you want. When you finish give me the papers."
They were just starting to draw when suddenly Sora had an idea. "Seikatsu... papa was mad about the vase being broken right?" He quietly asked his brother.
Seikatsu nodded, "Father said it was very precious to him and papa."
"We should… make one for them." Sora suggested. "We can use the paper. And it's good because we can draw papa and father on it then make it!"
Seikatsu slowly formed an O with his mouth, "Great idea Sora!" The little redhead hugged his brother, "Let's make it together."
Sora nodded, happy his brother supported the idea too. "Who's going to draw papa and who will draw father?" Whoever got "papa" would be lucky since they would get to draw his beautiful long hair…
"You can choose first Sora." The good brother he is, Seikatsu decided to let Sora choose first. However, as the two brothers were occupied with the vase, another boy took his paper and pencils and went over to sit next to Sora. "Can I sit here?"
Sora immediately quieted down, looking at the other hesitantly. "U-Um.. sure.." It's not like he could stop him from sitting any way.
The boy smiled, eagerly sitting down beside the bluenette. The boy has short brown hair and eyes to match. He was also thin and had pale skin, just like Sora. When the boy sat down, Seikatsu watched him cautiously. "My name is Yukio, nice to meet you Sora."
"Y-Yes.." Sora said softly, his eyes not meeting the new boy. He didn't know why he was acting so shy... He just couldn't help it.
"Can I be your friend?" He asked as he reached out to touch Sora's cheek, startling the boy. "S-Sorry, you're just really pretty, I couldn't help it."
Sora stilled with surprise. He was pretty? Like papa was? He felt his cheeks heat up and he looked at Seikatsu for help.
Seikatsu narrowed his eyes, not liking the boy already. "Don't touch my brother like that."
"Why not? He's pretty!" The boy fought back but Seikatsu didn't give up. "Let's change seats Sora." He took Sora's hand but as he did, the other boy grabbed his other hand. "Please don't go. I just want to be friends."
"S-Seikatsu, it's fine.." Sora said, just wishing they could continue on the vase. "It's okay.. you can be my friend.. I guess." He said to the other, Yukio.
"R-Really!? Thank you!" The boy smiled happily, taking Sora's hand into his, however, it was then that Seikatsu noticed a group of boys at another table who were staring at them. Weird...
Sora and Seikatsu continued on with the vase, deciding that Sora will draw Akashi while Seikatsu will draw Kuroko. Meanwhile, Yukio got to work as well, drawing his picture. However, Seikatsu didn't miss it when Yukio placed his arm around Sora, "What are you drawing Sora?"
"I'm drawing father.." Sora answered, focusing on the drawing instead of looking at Yukio. "We're making a gift since we accidentally broke something this morning.."
"Really? What are you making?" Yukio curiously asked as Seikatsu slapped away his hand. The two exchanged wary looks but as soon as Sora looked at them, they pretended nothing was wrong.
"Don't bother Sora. He can't concentrate." Seikatsu glanced at Yukio who narrowed his eyes. "I just want to help my new friend."
"Seikatsu, it's fine. He wasn't distracting me." Sora didn't want his brother to get on the wrong foot with someone. Papa or father wouldn't like that.
"See! I wasn't bothering him." Yukio triumphantly smiled as he placed his arm back around Sora, leaning his head on his shoulder. Seikatsu couldn't take it, instinctively wanting to kick the table but instead he kicked something else... "Owww!" A little girl that was sitting on the other side of Seikatsu screamed as Rin-sensei quickly came.
"What happened sweetie?" She kneeled down next to the crying girl while everyone watched, "S-Seikatsu kicked me! Waaa!"
The small redhead lowered his head, feeling guilty. "S-Sorry." Meanwhile, Yukio smiled, although Sora couldn't see because he was looking at the crying girl. "Seikatsu is a meanie. I'm a much better friend than he is for Sora."
"Yukio is a nice friend but.. Seikatsu is my brother." And that means Seikatsu will always be on top of his favorite list, along with papa and father. Sora turned to face Seikatsu.
"Seikatsu? What's wrong? Why did you kick her?" He asked worriedly, afraid that something made his brother mad.
The redhead turned to his brother, wanting to tell him, but then again if he told Sora then he would have no friends. Yukio is his first friend and Sora seemed really happy that he made one despite being shy. "M-My foot was ticking, I wanted to scratch it."
"You need to be careful. We don't want to get in trouble." Sora frowned. "Be careful please."
"I will." Seikatsu and the others watched Rin-sensei take the little girl away to give her a bandage, making Seikatsu feel even more guilty. It was then that Seikatsu noticed stares, not only from the group of boys but also from everyone in class.
"Your drawing is beautiful Sora." Yukio praised as he placed his arm around Sora for the third time and leaned his head on his shoulder.
"Oh? Um.. I'm sure Seikatsu did better." After all, papa had beautiful hair which meant Seikatsu got to draw it. "Seikatsu, are you done? Can we combine them now?"
Seikatsu nodded, "Here is my piece." He showed it to Sora but Yukio noticed it as well. "I like Sora's drawing more." Yukio commented as he and Seikatsu gave each other another stare. "M-My drawing may not be nice but papa in real life is the most beautiful of all."
Yukio looked closely at the drawing, "Is that Kuroko-sensei?" Seikatsu nodded.
"My friend goes to Kuroko-sensei's class. I like him. He's really pretty but Sora is even more pretty."
"B-But papa is the prettiest!" Sora said, feeling a little embarrassed. Prettier than papa? Impossible! Papa was the prettiest person ever!
"But I think Sora is the most beautiful person in the whole entire world!" Yukio happily said as he took both of Sora's hands into his own, "Will you marry me?"
"No." Seikatsu straight up answered for his brother, giving Yukio another glare. "Sora won't marry you."
"I was asking Sora, not you."
"M-Marry?" But he wasn't ready! He just started school. When did Papa say he got married? Right out if school? "I-I can't get married yet.. I'm sorry." Sora softly told Yukio.
"W-What about later? When we grow up?" Yukio didn't give up. "No." Seikatsu said again but Yukio ignored him, waiting for Sora's reply.
"I-I don't know.. we only met today.." Sora said. He didn't want to hurt Yukio's feelings, but he didn't want to make promises he couldn't keep either.
"T-Then-" Yukio was interrupted when Seikatsu slapped away his hands, grabbing Sora's attention. "Sora, we have to finish the vase before school ends." Otherwise they couldn't surprise Papa and Father.
Sora looked at Seikatsu with surprise before hesitantly nodded. Yes, they had to finish their gift for their parents. "Sorry Yukio. We have to finish this."
"O-Okay." Yukio turned back to his drawing but his eyes glanced over at Seikatsu before looking over at the group of boys. Yukio nodded, making the group of boys laugh.
It didn't take long for Seikatsu and Sora to finish the vase. Just before Rin-sensei began collecting the drawings. However when she walked up to the two boys, she was surprised, "My! What a lovely drawing this is! Is it a vase?" She curiously asked the two boys.
"Yes! For our parents!" Sora said proudly. He was shy yes, but he was also happy to make his parents a gift. "Because Father always gets Papa flowers!"
"Really? How sweet of you! Your parents will be proud of you." Rin-sensei ruffled their heads as the bell rang, signaling the end of school for the day.
Everyone began packing up, including Sora and Seikatsu although they didn't have much to pack up since they can't put away their vase. Suddenly someone walked into the classroom and the two kids were happy to see their papa! "Did you two miss me?" Kuroko asked as he approached the two. He was able to pick them up because not only was he just next door, but the parents already collected all their children in his class. "We can't go home yet since Papa has a little work to do, but soon we can."
"Okay, but look!" Sora and Seikatsu both presented the hand made vase proudly.
"Oh.. that's so wonderful." Kuroko smiled. So they tried to right their wrong from this morning? He kissed their foreheads lovingly. "Good job. I love it and I'm sure your father will too."
"Really!?" Seikatsu excitedly asked, "W-We're sorry we broke your precious vase papa... Do you like my drawing?" Seikatsu pointed at the Kuroko he drew on the paper vase, specifically pointing on the long hair he drew.
Kuroko smiled as he looked at the picture. "It's very nice."
"What about mine?" Sora asked, pointing to his drawing.
Kuroko laughed a little. "That's a good drawing too. They both are, I promise."
Both of the children smiled, hugging their parent, but as they did Rin-sensei approached them. She smiled, not able to resists the cute sight before her. "Sorry to interrupt but Kuroko-sensei, can we talk for a bit?"
"Oh? Yes, of course. Stay here Sora, Seikatsu." Kuroko said. He patted both his children's heads before standing up and walking away with Rin-sensei. "What is it? Did something happen?"
"Unfortunately yes." She didn't want to be the bearer of bad news but she had to tell Kuroko, "It's not much but during the lesson Seikatsu kicked a girl that was sitting across him. She's fine, I gave her a bandage but... I'm just worried. Did Seikatsu have any violent tendencies before?"
"Kicked? Seikatsu?" Kuroko asked with shock. Seikatsu actually hurt someone? "No... he's never been violent before, whether it's physical or his personality... he's a very good kid."
"I see... Maybe it could have been by accident then?" Maybe it was just by coincidence, "I'm sorry Kuroko-sensei, I just thought I should tell you since it was quite a shocker."
"I can't imagine him doing it on purpose." Kuroko said confidently. He knew Seikatsu. He was as calm and wise as his father. "I'm sorry he accidentally hurt someone. I'm sure it won't happen again."
"I know it won't. Seikatsu is a good kid." Rin-sensei smiled, but as the two teachers were talking, Seikatsu and Sora were waiting for their papa, sitting on one of the desks in the classroom. It was then that Seikatsu noticed the girl he kicked, and ran out of the class after her. The little girl was walking with her mother when Seikatsu stopped them.
"I-I'm sorry, for kicking you." He bowed.
The little girl was confused at first but then she remembered who he was, "Mommy! That's the boy that kicked me!"
The mother narrowed her eyes, "Why did you do it?"
"I-I'm sorry. It was an accident. I'm sorry." Seikatsu still bowed, his head low.
"Seikatsu!" Sora called out for the other, running up to him. Of course he had noticed Seikatsu suddenly running out of the room. He had to catch up and get him back before their papa noticed. "Why did you... oh." He remembered the girl and frowned a little. "He didn't mean to do it. He's really sorry."
The two bowed as the mother and the girl looked down on them. "I'll forgive you this time but if you do it again, I'll complain to your parents." The mother hissed, "You better learn some manners." The mother took her daughter's hand and walked off with her daughter, Seikatsu and Sora standing up again. "I'm sorry."
"Adults are scary.." Sora murmured, holding Seikatsu's hand tightly. "But it's okay Seikatsu. You didn't do anything wrong. You apologized and it wasn't even on purpose. They're just mean." He tried to assure his brother.
"Yeah..." Seikatsu tightened his hold on his brother's hand, "Do you like Yukio?" He asked warily.
"Well I don't dislike him so... I guess?" Sora said softly. "But I don't want to marry him... not at all."
Seikatsu smiled, hugging his brother happily, confusing the said bluenette. "Let's play with Nigou when we get home." Seikatsu suggested as he let go of his brother.
"Okay! Now let's get back before papa notices." Sora said. They both returned to the room, just in time too since Kuroko came to collect them. "We're going to my room for a little bit okay? I promise we will go home soon."
"Okay!" Both of the children cheerfully agreed as they followed Kuroko into his classroom. When they got there, they noticed that it was the same as theirs! Although it did have a few differences. Kuroko had more books because he likes to read to the children and then there were also much more pillows for sleeping time. "I want to be in papa's class." Seikatsu pouted.
"I wish you were in my class too. I'd love to teach you guys all day." Kuroko sighed. "You can play with the toys if you want. Papa will just finish with a bit of work okay?"
"Okay!" They repeated again.
The two brothers went to the playing area but before he would, Sora placed his bag down on a chair. Suddenly Seikatsu realized he forgot his bag in his classroom. "I forgot my bag. I'll be right back." He told his brother and papa before going out. Seikatsu went into his classroom, found his bag and went out, but when he turned, he saw a group of boys standing outside.
It was Yukio and the other boys who he saw sitting on another table. Seikatsu didn't move, gathering his courage before approaching them at the door. "Do you need something?" He asked Yukio calmly.
"I like Sora and I want to marry him but you're in the way." Yukio got straight to the point, making Seikatsu mad, although he kept himself calm. "Leave my brother alone. He doesn't like you in that way." Not in the way like Papa and Father like each other.
"No! I want Sora to marry me so he will!" Yukio refused to think otherwise. "You don't look like Sora so you should go away."
"I won't go away. You go away." Seikatsu looked up when Yukio moved closer, Yukio being taller than the other. "You don't have blue hair or blue eyes! You don't even look like Kuroko-sensei!"
Yukio's words hurt Seikatsu much more than he thought, "I-I'll grow my hair just like papa..."
"But you still don't look like him." Yukio pulled on Seikatsu's hair, leaving the redhead with nothing more than to punch him. He didn't punch hard because he was still thinking about the little girl but at least it hurt a little bit.
Yukio gave Seikatsu a glare as he and his group of friends began pushing Seikatsu who fought back. However, the redhead was powerless against the bullies as they pushed him down onto the ground and into a muddy puddle. The rain just stopped so the ground was still wet.
Seikatsu was drenched in mud as the group of boys laughed, "Haha! Sora will marry me! You can't stop me!" Yukio laughed as he and the group ran after hearing some footsteps around the corner. Luckily they managed to disappear but Seikatsu couldn't help cry.
"Seikatsu?" Kuroko rounded the corner with Sora behind him. He had been worried since Seikatsu was taking too long so he came to check on him, and of course he couldn't leave Sora alone. "Seikatsu!" He rushed to Seikatsu who was still crying and drenched with mud. What happened? Did he fall in the mud and hurt himself? "Seikatsu, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Seikatsu.." Sora said, scared to see his brother crying. He usually tried to avoid crying in front of Sora…
The little redhead noticed Kuroko coming and quickly stood up while crying. "P-Papa!" Seikatsu called in between his sobs but then when he noticed Sora, he quickly turned around so that he couldn't see him crying. He tried to brush away his tears but instead he just ended up dirtying his face with mud.
"Seikatsu, are you hurt? Did you fall?" Kuroko asked worriedly, picking Seikatsu even if he was messy. "We'll get you cleaned up okay?" He quickly walked back inside, making sure Sora followed.
The little child sobbed, clenching onto Kuroko's shirt, "I-I'm sorry papa... sniff... I tripped."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's not your fault." Kuroko assured, brushing Seikatsu's hair to calm him. He took him to the classroom and put him down. He got some tissue to wipe Seikatsu's face free of mud. "You can change once we get home, okay?"
"O-Okay." Seikatsu nodded, his face slightly red from the crying. He noticed Sora looking at him in worry but the little redhead didn't want to look weak so he quickly grabbed a pillow that was next to him and held it to his face. Just like his father, he didn't want to show any signs of weakness.
Kuroko noticed this and sighed. He softly patted Seikatsu's hair. "Seikatsu... you don't have to hide your tears or pain. It's okay to show your loved ones if you're upset or not. Please don't be like your father or even papa and hide how you feel. It could change everything."
Seikatsu peeked up from the pillow, "Change everything? How?" He asked curiously, "Are you hiding how you feel papa?"
"No but I used to. Your father still does but I try not to." Kuroko said. "It'll help if you tell us. Don't hide it if you're hurt or upset. We're here to help you and cheer you up."
It will help if he doesn't hide that he's hurt or upset? But he doesn't want Sora to see him like that... How can he protect Sora then? Seikatsu hesitated, slowly pulling the pillow away from his face and instead hugged it tightly in his arms. He looked up at Papa, not knowing what to do. Papa knows the best so he should be able to tell him what to do right?
Seikatsu opened his lips to tell Kuroko what happened but then didn't say anything. Wait... What if Sora finds out? Will he also be bullied? Will they throw him in the mud? Or could they do something worse to him? No! Seikatsu didn't want that! Plus, Sora was so happy that he made a friend... If he tells him then Sora won't be liked... just like him.
"I-I just tripped... I'm sorry for worrying you Papa…"
Kuroko watched him closely then sighed. He couldn't force the other to tell him what's wrong, especially if there really isn't... "Okay. It's okay. You aren't hurt anywhere right? It's fine as long as you're okay."
"I'm okay. Nothing hurts." Seikatsu assured as he hugged the pillow. "Papa can we go home?"
"Yes.." He can give up some work now and just do it tomorrow. It wasn't needed right then and there so it's okay. "Let's go home and get you cleaned up."
Seikatsu and Sora nodded, "Papa can you hold me?" Seikatsu wanted to hug his Papa and just forget about everything that happened today. In Papa's arms, he would be safe.
Kuroko nodded and picked up Seikatsu, hugging him tight. "Sora, do you want to carry Seikatsu's things, just to the car?"
"I can do it!" Sora said, already going to retrieve Seikatsu's bag and his own.
Kuroko switched off the lights, giving the classroom one last check up before locking it and walking away. While walking, Kuroko noticed that Seikatsu was holding onto him tightly, much tighter than usual. Kuroko was concerned but returned the hug never the less. Kuroko placed both Seikatsu and Sora into their special seats before going in himself and starting up the car. He noticed a small piece of paper that was stuck to the steering wheel, saying 'Drive Safe.' And by the handwriting, Kuroko could already guess who it was. His husband probably wrote it when he took Nigou.
After Kuroko put on his seatbelt, they were off on their way home. When they arrived, Seikatsu and Sora didn't waste time to go to their rooms and take everything out of their bags while Kuroko threw himself onto the couch. Another long day... This one had been especially long since it was Seikatsu's and Sora's first day at school. He couldn't say it went well but... He didn't know... Somehow he didn't know what to think...
It wasn't long before the doors opened again to reveal Akashi and Nigou. "Woff! Woff!" The puppy barked, as it to tell Sora and Seikatsu that he's home. Akashi smiled, "We're home." He placed Nigou down as it took off running to the stairs. The little puppy struggled to jump up the stairs but it was determined to get to Seikatsu and Sora so despite the hardship, he went on, step by step.
Kuroko slowly sat up, smiling a little as he looked at Akashi. "Welcome back.. sorry I didn't start dinner.." The time just passed so quickly, he didn't even notice. He was too busy thinking about the day and what happened with Seikatsu.
"That's alright, I could cook us something. I don't want to get rusty." Akashi tiredly went into the living room and threw himself down on the couch next to his husband/wife. He placed a loving kiss on Kuroko's forehead before their foreheads touched. "How was it?" The question had been haunting him the whole day at work.
"...I don't know what to think. I thought everything was fine but when I went to go pick them up... the teacher pulled me aside and said Seikatsu kicked a girl for no reason. And then after that Seikatsu apparently fell in the mud and was crying.." Kuroko sighed, snuggling up to Akashi. "He's upstairs getting cleaned. I think he already finished his bath."
"Seikatsu kicked someone?" Akashi asked in shock. He couldn't imagine the child hurting an ant, let alone a girl. He embraced Kuroko tightly, "Do you think somebody is picking on him?"
"Picking on him?" Going through the same thing he went through? Not on his watch! "I hope not... I'll tell the teacher to watch out. I don't want him or Sora to be picked on."
Akashi nodded, "That would be the best. However, if I do find out that somebody is picking on my sons then I'll have them expelled."
"That's a bit too much.." Kuroko sighed. "It's fine if we just find out who it is, if someone's even picking on him.."
"Love, I have no mercy on anyone who harms my family." Akashi gently moved the bluenette so that he could lean into Akashi's arms, allowing him to embrace his husband/wife from the back. "What about Sora? What did he think of his first day?"
"He seemed okay but I didn't get to ask since I was worried about Seikatsu... He seemed happy at least." Kuroko said.
Akashi hummed, "Then I better go and ask them myself." Akashi leaned in to kiss his wife passionately before moving away. "I'll be right back to prepare dinner."
"Okay." Kuroko said. "Sorry I couldn't prepare it myself. I am pretty tired.." But Akashi must be tired too. He's the head of a company after all.
"Don't worry love. Just relax and rest. I'll take care of everything." Akashi smiled at the bluenette before heading up the stairs. When he got up, he heard the sound of a shower and water dripping down so he went up to the toilet door, "Seikatsu do you need help?"
"Father! You're home!?" The child cheerfully asked, "No it's okay. I can do it by myself."
"Alright then. If you need any help call me. I'll come to help you dry off."
"Okay." Seikatsu said from behind the door as Akashi moved away. Since Seikatsu was still showering, Akashi decided to go and check on Sora. When he opened the door of his son's room, he couldn't help but smile when he saw his son on the bed, stroking Nigou who was on his lap.
"May I come in?"
"You already opened the door." Sora pouted. He didn't see why his father needed to ask since he technically already came in. "You can come in though. I don't mind."
Akashi couldn't help but chuckle, Kuroko's traits are beginning to show. "I apologise. I won't do it again, I promise." Akashi closed the door behind him and went to sit with his son on the bed.
"What do you need father?" Sora asked, sitting up and holding Nigou. "How was work? Was Nigou good?"
"Actually Nigou was searching for you all around my office, and when he couldn't find you, he would sit beside me and cry." Akashi remembers that when the children were younger, he use to take them to his office with him, of course Kuroko would go as well. The children would play around in the office but would always, always without a doubt play hide and seek with the little puppy. Now every time the dog comes into his office, he starts searching for them.
"Sorry Nigou." Sora said, kissing Nigou's forehead. The dog licked his nose back as if to say it's okay. "Did he bother you? I'm sorry.."
Akashi smiled, ruffling his son's hair. "Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything."
"We didn't want Nigou to be alone though... but we know father works hard." Sora said. "Did he really not bother you during work?"
"It's fine Sora. I know you only meant good." Akashi stopped ruffling his son's hair and instead stroked it gently, "So, how was your first day at school?"
Sora hesitated, unsure of what to say exactly. "It was okay... I made a new friend and Seikatsu and I made you and papa a gift... but Seikatsu got in trouble and then fell in the mud.."
Trouble? He must mean when Seikatsu kicked the little girl, "So you've already made a friend? What's their name?"
"Yukio. He seems nice but.. He asked me to marry him.. I don't want to marry him. What do I do?" Sora asked with a frown.
"Marry?" Children these days know no shame. Although... is it just innocent child play? "You tell him your true feelings, and if he doesn't listen to you or starts hurting you then you tell either me or Papa right away." Otherwise it would turn into bullying.
"H-Hurt? He could hurt me?" Sora asked, now feeling scared. What if Yukio got angry when he says no and hurts him? He didn't want to he hurt.
Should he have taken a different approach? Now Sora will be even more shy and withdrawn than before... Kuroko is better at consulting the children than he is, he couldn't deny that. "He won't hurt you Sora, you don't have to worry. If you tell him what you feel then I'm sure he'll understand."
"Did Seikatsu hear Yukio propose to you?" Akashi asked, getting some ideas.
Sora slowly nodded. "Seikatsu even told Yukio no before I could.." He explained. "I think he just wanted to protect me."
Maybe that could have something to do with the trouble Seikatsu got himself in? But then again, Akashi didn't want to shoot in the dark. He also found the thought somehow ironic since Seikatsu was the younger sibling. Akashi stopped touching Sora's hair, "Your brother loves you very much. Never forget that."
"I know. I could never forget." Sora promised. "I just hope he won't get in trouble again. He didn't mean to kick the girl. It was an accident."
"I believe you Sora." Akashi was proud of his son, "I have just one favor to ask. Please watch over your little brother in school, and I'll tell him to do the same for you." Sora nodded.
Akashi smiled and stood up, "I'll go check on your brother now. Dinner will be ready in half an hour so come down when we call you."
"Okay, thank you." Sora smiled. "I'm glad you're home dad."
"I'll call you soon." Akashi closed the door behind him before going over to the bathroom again. He noticed that the shower was switched off which meant that Seikatsu was done. "Seikatsu, are you finished?"
"Yes father! B-But can you please help me?" Akashi sighed, the little one always needed help with the towel. Akashi opened the door and saw that Seikatsu was drying himself with a towel.
"Come here. I'll help." After helping Seikatsu dry off, Akashi then helped him with his clothes and then lastly dried his wet red hair. When they were done, Akashi took a brush and began brushing it. "How was your first day at school?" Akashi curiously asked but Seikatsu hesitated.
"Umm.. It was okay." Seikatsu didn't say much but you could sense the hesitation in his voice. "Really? I heard you got into trouble today."
"I'm sorry Father, it was an accident. I wanted to scratch my knee but ended up hitting the girl in front of me. Then I accidentally fell into the puddle." Seikatsu spoke quickly, assuring his father that nothing serious happened.
Akashi hummed in thought, "Your brother told me a friend proposed to him today." Seikatsu froze. "Y-Yeah but Sora won't marry him."
"Why?" Akashi knew this was just child play but it was the only way to find out more.
"B-Because... Yukio is a meanie."
"Meanie?"
"Y-Yeah... He said he didn't like my drawing." Seikatsu revealed but he wasn't willing to go as far as that, although it was enough to support Akashi's theory.
"Then he really is a meanie. Your drawings are beautiful Seikatsu. I and Papa love them very much." Akashi's words made the child slightly blush.
"R-Really? Promise?"
"Promise." Now that Seikatsu's hair was done, Akashi could return to the kitchen. "Dinner will be ready in a bit so come down when we call you. We can talk more at the table."
"Okay!" Seikatsu happily said as he ran off to Sora's room, looking for Nigou so they could all play. Akashi watched him run, watching in case he falls down. When the child got safely into his brother's room, Akashi went down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Resting love?" Akashi asked Kuroko who was laying down on the couch.
Kuroko looked up at the other with a small smile. "So.. were they alright? Were they happy to see you?" He asked playfully.
"Of course~" Although he didn't want to admit that Kuroko handles them much better, especially Sora. Now Akashi will be worried that he gave the boy the wrong idea of his friend trying to harm him. He'll have to talk to him more about it during dinner. "Actually, they both told me what happened in school and I have an idea, no, better say theory."
"Theory? What theory?" Kuroko asked, slowly sitting up. He tilted his head. "That's right... I didn't ask Sora about his day.."
Akashi readied the pans to start cooking, "Sora told me that he was worried about Seikatsu but also said that he found a new friend, Yukio. That boy proposed to Sora but Seikatsu didn't like it."
"Proposed?" Kuroko asked with surprise. "You don't think he'll..." He didn't want either of them to end up like him.
"I don't know, but my theory is that the boy perhaps began teasing Seikatsu because he didn't let him be with his brother." Children as so unpredictable so you never know, "Do you know that boy?"
"No, he's not in my class and I haven't met him. I don't know if I met his parents though." Kuroko said. "I can ask to meet him though."
Of course, those children just started attending kindergarten, so there's no way Kuroko would have met them already. "Do you think it'll help the situation? Won't it be worse if you intervene?" Akashi doesn't understand children as well as Kuroko does so he's asking what is the right approach to take.
"Well... kids don't understand some things. For most things, it would be best to have an adult show the way but sometimes.." Should Kuroko intervene? Maybe he should give them all some time but if everything continued as it is or gets worse, he'll intervene. "I'll wait. Maybe they'll figure it out."
"Alright." Akashi agreed as he put the spaghetti in the pot. "Tonight we're having spaghetti Bolognese."
"Alrighty." Kuroko said. "Want me to call the kids soon? Or get them myself?"
"Yes, it'll be done soon. Either is fine by me." Akashi put the meat into the mincer. Now the only thing left to do is wait for the spaghetti and cook the meat.
"I'll go get them now." Kuroko said and got up. He headed upstairs, first checking Seikatsu's room but saw that the other wasn't there. Sora's room? He headed over and knocked on the door. "Sora? Seikatsu?"
Kuroko opened the door but just as he did, a pillow found its way onto his face. "Yay! We got Papa!" The two cheered and Nigou barked, running around the two happily.
Kuroko removed the pillow, smiling a little. "Yes, you got me." He walked inside, putting the pillow on the bed. "Dinner's almost done. Ready to come down?"
"Yay! Food!" The two quickly ran out of the room with Nigou following them. They ran down the stairs quickly and finally arrived down at the kitchen. "Smells good!"
Akashi smiled when he saw his two sons arrive, "It'll be done in just a bit."
Soon Kuroko came in with a small sigh. Where do kids get so much energy?
"Can we sit at the table and wait?" Sora asked.
"Of course." Akashi said before the two rushed to the table. As they did, Kuroko decided to give Nigou his food since the poor pup needed to eat too. When Akashi was done, he placed the plates on the table but smoke was coming off it because it was still warm. Akashi told the kids to wait for the food to cool down a bit and for Kuroko to come to the table.
Dinner was served and everyone began eating. Both Kuroko and Akashi secretly tried to get Seikatsu to explain what happened, mostly Kuroko since he was there, but no such luck. Seikatsu really didn't want to say what happened. Soon they finished dinner and Akashi and Kuroko separated to put both boys to bed in their separate rooms. "Is everything okay Seikatsu?" Kuroko asked as he tucked him into his bed.
The child nodded but then he remembered something very important when he noticed Kuroko's tangled hair, "Papa, can I brush your hair now?"
"Yes, that's fine." Kuroko got up and retrieved Seikatsu's brush before giving it to the redhead. "Be careful please."
"I will." Seikatsu took the brush in his hand before he began brushing Papa's hair. While brushing he remembered the words Yukio had said, 'You don't look like Kuroko-sensei!', Those words shook in his mind but... they were true. He doesn't look like Papa or Sora... but he does look like father. Maybe he just took from him the most while Sora did from papa?
"Papa, can I grow my hair like you?"
"Grow your hair? Well, yeah you can but... are you sure? It's a hassle to keep it clean and it hurts to brush it sometimes." It also costs a lot more money to buy things like shampoo and conditioner. "It's way easier to take care of short hair."
"But Papa's hair is so pretty. It even sparkles on it's own!" When the sun would shine on it, Seikatsu would always look at it in wonder. Even when he was a little baby, he loved chewing on Kuroko's hair more than anything. "Compared to Papa's hair... mine isn't pretty."
"But your hair is pretty! I love the red of your hair. What's wrong with that?" Kuroko frowned. "Did someone tell you your hair wasn't pretty?"
Papa loves his hair? But why? He has the prettiest hair of all! All of Papa is pretty! "N-No." Seikatsu slowed down his strokes. "Nobody said that... I just really like Papa's hair."
"Well.. I do like your hair, so I'd be sad if you tried to change it. But I can't stop you from doing it okay?" Kuroko assured, reaching back to pat Seikatsu's head.
"R-Really? Papa likes my hair? A lot? A lot, a lot, a lot?" Seikatsu looked up at the bluenette.
"Yes of course I do." Kuroko smiled. "Your hair is pretty okay? And that's because it's your own. It doesn't have to be long or blue to be pretty. Red and short is just fine."
Seikatsu smiled, suddenly moving to embrace his Papa, startling the other. "I love you Papa."
Kuroko soft hugged the other back, brushing his hair again. "I love you too Seikatsu. Now, would you like me to read you a story before bed?"
"Yes! Please." The child quickly covered himself with a blanket, laying down in his bed while waiting for Kuroko to get the book to read. "Can you read the one about Mr Piggy?"
"Alright." Kuroko retrieved the book and returned to the bed. He made sure Seikatsu was comfortable as he opened the book. "Once upon a time.."
And so Kuroko read the story to Seikatsu who listened to every word. By the end of it, he was ready to sleep. Kuroko put the book away, kissed the others forehead, and said goodnight as he quietly left the room. As Kuroko retired for the night, Sora's door opened to reveal Sora himself. He was worried about his brother and wanted to be close, even if they didn't talk at all.
He quietly went to his brother's room and went inside, closing the door behind him. "Seikatsu."
Seikatsu turned around in his bed when he heard the door open. He was surprised to see his brother standing by the door, "Sora, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted.. to make sure you were okay." Sora murmured. "And I didn't want Seikatsu to sleep alone.."
Before Sora closed the door, Nigou quickly managed to pass through before they closed. "Then let's sleep together." Seikatsu moved to the side and pulled up his blanket for Sora to come in. Nigou ran to the bed as well but since the puppy was small, he couldn't jump up.
Sora nodded and went over to the bed. He picked up Nigou before laying down with Seikatsu, Nigou in between them. "Thanks.."
"I like sleeping together anyway." Seikatsu smiled as he took Sora's hand, "I'll protect you Sora."
"I'll try to protect you too." Sora promised, squeezing Seikatsu's hand. He was the older brother after all. He should be protecting Seikatsu instead.
Seikatsu smiled while Nigou sleepily yawned between them. "Do you want to leave a nighty light on?"
"N-No, it's okay. I have Seikatsu and Nigou..." Sora murmured, feeling embarrassed when Seikatsu offered.
"Okay." Seikatsu tightly held Sora's hand as he leaned onto his pillow. "Good night Sora. Good night Nigou."
"Goodnight.." Sora said, petting Nigou with his free hand. He sighed and closed his eyes, going to sleep for the night.
The little redhead smiled in his sleep, glad that he could sleep with his brother and Nigou. Not only that, but he found out that Papa loves his hair! Father also cooked them a very yummy meal. The child's smile widened, happy that he's loved by his precious family.
