Shizuo arrived at the meeting place and saw Tom already there. "Yo, Shizuo. You're late." Tom greeted him. He saw Tsugaru and Psyche and said, "Yours, Shizuo?" "Dunno. Found them in front of Izaya's apartment. There's two more at home." The blonde answered with a red face. "Who's that, papa?" asked Tsugaru. "He's my...partner.." replied Shizuo. 'Well the flea did say I'm some kind of a cop, right?' thought Shizuo. "They really look like you and Izaya... It's creepy.." Tom looks at Tsugaru closely. Suddenly, Psyche yanked Tom's hair. "Yay! Weird hair! Weird hair! Waiiii~" cheered the raven haired kid. "Uhh.. Shizuo? Get him off my precious hair. It hurts." told Tom. The blonde quickly told the cheerful child, "Psyche, can you let go of the hair? Papa's partner don't like it.. Please?" The child lets go of the hair and pouts. "Thank you, Psyche. Good boy." Psyche's pout turns to a smile. Tom patted the child's head. "So your name is Psyche. What about you, little one?" "Tsu..garu.." The little blonde said shyly.
"It seems that you've grown softer, Shizuo. You smile often now. Let's go." exclaimed Tom while walking ahead. Shizuo blushed a bit and followed him from behind. After 30 minutes, they reached the client's residence. Tom knocked on the door a few times and a middle-aged man opened it. "Yes, what can I... Huh?..." The man froze immediately after seeing Tom and Shizuo. He squinted his eyes on Shizuo and saw two kids, one on his shoulders and the other in Shizuo's arms. He took out his cellphone and snapped a picture. Shizuo got irritated, he snatched the phone away and crushed it with his bare hands. Tom cleared his throat and began talking, "Sorry 'bout the cell. You irritate him. So, when are going to pay me back, huh?" The man began to shake. "I...I..don't have...the..money now..." "WHAT DO MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE IT?!" Shizuo yelled. Tsugaru and Psyche flinched upon hearing Shizuo yell. They teared up and began crying loudly. "Oi! Don't cry! What's wrong? Tsugaru? Psyche?" Shizuo flustered. Tom sighed and said to the man, "I'll give you another two weeks, if you don't bring the money, you'll know what'll happen. Let's go, Shizuo!" The man quickly shut his door. Tom leaves the area with Shizuo behind him, struggling to calm the kids.
"Shizuo... I think you need to take the day off.." Tom started. "What?" "Look at your situation, Shizuo. You can't possibly bring these children to work. It can get dangerous. And look, you can't even shout without making them cry! Take the day off, Shizuo. I'll call someone to replace you." "Fine. Bye then." Shizuo and the crying kids left Tom. Shizuo flipped his cellphone and dialled his lover's number. He was a bit irritated by the crying, but since they were only kids, he held it in. 'Pick up, flea!' Shizuo shouted in his mind. "Papa, I'm hungry..." "Me too, papa..." The kids said in their sobbing. "Right.. You missed breakfast.. You want sushi?" Shizuo asked. The kids eyes brightened. "Un!"
After Shizuo left, Izaya sat on the sofa, feeling embarrassed after the kiss. "That brute, I told him not to give me surprise kisses..." Izaya mumbled to himself. He watched Delic and Hibya play with their feet. "I'm pretty sure you haven't bathe since we found you. Let's take a bath!" Izaya brought the babies to the bedroom and searched for something in his closet. "Aha, here it is! Mairu and Kururi's old stash. Lots of clothes in here. Ettooo... Let's just pick this one, and this one. Okay, now let's go to the bathroom!" Izaya brought the babies to the bathroom next. He stripped them and himself. He let the water run in the tub and went in with the babies. Izaya, Delic and Hibiya had this satisfied look on their faces after getting in the tub. He let the babies play with the water while he relaxes.
Then, a door opened. Izaya quickly got out of the tub with the babies and searched for the towels. "Izaya?" Suddenly the babies got teary eyed and wailed loudly. Izaya panicked. He tried to calm them but it's no use. Footsteps came nearer to the bathroom. Seconds later, the bathroom door opened. Izaya startled and looked at the door, seeing his lover and the kids without realizing that he is still undressed. Shizuo blushed a bit and closed Tsugaru's and Psyche's eyes. "Help me, Shizu-chan! They won't stop!" Izaya came closer to Shizuo. "Alright, alright.." He put Tsugaru and Psyche on his shoulders and took a towel and tied it on his lover's slender waist. Then he took Hibiya from Izaya. Izaya blushed. The crying Hibiya pointed out to the tub. Shizuo brought him to the tub and put him in the now lukewarm water. Hibiya stopped crying and splashed water at Shizuo's face. "You little... Izaya, put that one in here." Shizuo ordered. Izaya put Delic in the water and the two babies played with the water.
A half an hour later, they came out of the bathroom looking clean and dressed. "I bought sushi. You want some?" asked Shizuo. Izaya nodded while setting the babies on the sofa. The babies refused to let go of Izaya as they were feeling drowsy after the bath. "Mama~ Papa pwepared shushi~ Come~" Psyche came running at Izaya from the kitchen. Izaya smiled when the child came at him and said, "Tell papa that Delic and Hibiya is sleepy, nee? Can Psyche-chan bring me the food here?" The child nodded and ran back to the kitchen. Later, Shizuo came out from the kitchen, bringing a plate full of ootoro. "They're asleep?" The blonde man asked. Izaya nodded and replied him, "But I'm hungry... But they won't let go of me..." "Fine, I'll feed you." said Shizuo, sitting beside Izaya while holding out a piece of ootoro to the raven's mouth.
"Say ahhh~" Izaya opened up his mouth and the ootoro went inside his mouth. He chewed it slowly, his face flushed red. Shizuo chuckled a bit. Meanwhile, two pairs of eyes was peeking behind the couch. The mini raven skipped to Shizuo, "Papa, I want too..." The child pointed at the ootoro then at his mouth. "Okay, okay... Here you go. Say ahhh~ Tsugaru? You want it too?" The blonde man asked the little one who is still watching them from behind the couch. "Tsu-nii, come..." Psyche said after he swallowed the fish. Tsugaru slowly walked to Shizuo, who is holding out the ootoro, waiting for Tsugaru to open his mouth. Alas, instead of opening his mouth, he took the fish with his hand then put it in his mouth. Shizuo and Izaya is quite shocked but then Shizuo ruffled the child's hair and said, "It's okay to be spoiled by us. You are surely the oldest, aren't you?" He laughed. Tsugaru looked at him with bright eyes. "Shizu-chan,..." "Oh, sorry. I forgot. See, even mama is spoiled by papa." Shizuo popped another one in Izaya's mouth. "You got a little somthwing at your cheek, mama." Psyche said. "Where?" The little raven climbed beside Izaya and licked the grain of rice off his cheek. "How sweet of you, Psyche-chan.."
"How come he can do that to you?" Shizuo asked. "He's still small, Shizu-chan... Wait, are you jealous?" Izaya smirked after saying it. Shizuo shoved an ootoro in his mouth. "Ouch, that hurts, Shizu-chan.."
After putting the sleeping Delic and Hibiya to the bed and set up a barrier of pillows around them, Izaya sat on his spinning chair and started working while Shizuo played with the other two while watching the television. "Nee, papa.. I'm sleepy~" said the small raven while rubbing his droopy eyes with his chubby arm. Tsugaru yawned but he kept on scribbling on the paper that his 'mama' gave him. "It's two in the afternoon already? Nap time." said the informant from afar. "Come here, Psyche, Tsugaru." Shizuo petted on the seat beside him. Psyche and Tsugaru climbed on the sofa and lie down on Shizuo's lap. Shizuo stroked their hair until they finally fell asleep. "Shizu-chan, we need to go shopping for their stuff. And maybe give them a medical checkup at Shinra's." The informant broke the silence. The debt-collecter sighed and replied his lover, "Can't you do online shopping instead? It's embarrassing to go out and buy baby goods.. And yeah, let's go see Shinra later."
