"So? Who's first?" Shinra asked the children. Tsugaru immediately hides himself behind Shizuo while Psyche just stand there, staring at Celty.
The small raven pointed and said, "Mama, no head." Shinra sweatdropped. "That's it, you're first." Shinra said with a scary expression. "Nobody insults MY Celty..." Shinra mumbled under his breath. Celty's shoulders shook meaning that she is laughing. She typed something and showed it to the others.
[This one is interesting. He's so cute...]
"Of course he's cute! He looks like me, for ootoro's sake!" Izaya bragged. An awkward silence filled the whole apartment. "Well? Are you going to examine him or what?" Izaya broke the silence. "Ri, right... Let's go, ummm..." "Psyche." Izaya cut in. "Psyche-kun, let's go!" Shinra held out his hand.
The little raven hesitated to take the outstretched hand. After seeing Shizuo and Izaya encourage him, he took the hand and followed the doctor to the treatment room. Before Shinra entered the room, he asked, "What do you want me to check?"
Izaya came closer to the doctor and answered in a whisper, "Just do a full body checkup and blood test to see if they are related to someone." The doctor nodded in response and entered the room.
[I'm gonna help Shinra in there. Don't go killing each other with the kids watching.] Celty typed on her PDA.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine~ Right, Shizu-chan?" Izaya turned at his lover. "Don't worry Celty. I'm fine." Shizuo lit up a cigarette. Izaya quickly snatched the cancer stick and threw it away.
"What the..? Izaya?!" "Don't smoke, the kids are here." Izaya said casually. Shizuo's fury rose but he gritted his teeth to keep his cool to keep his promise to Celty. The female dullahan droops her shoulders and entered the treatment room.
Tsugaru came out from his hiding place and looked around. "Psyche?" He called out. Shizuo took him and put him on his lap. "Papa? Psyche?" Tsugaru asked.
"What? Psyche? He's being examined." Shizuo answered. "Exam..ined?" Shizuo nodded. "What's wrong, Tsu-chan?" Izaya asked the small blonde. "Psyche." He answered.
"Ohh... Don't worry, honey. He's fine.." Izaya patted the child. Tsugaru blushed lightly. A scream was heard inside the treatment room. Izaya and Shizuo rushed to the treatment room, thinking it was Psyche's scream.
"Shinra! What happ..." Izaya's and Shizuo's eyes widen upon seeing the situation in the treatment room. Shinra is on the floor with Psyche on top of him, holding a needle. Celty is flustered, trying to stop Psyche.
"Mama? Papa?" Psyche said, looking confused. "Izaya! Shizuo! Thank god! Help me, please! This one tried to kill me with a needle!" Shinra babbled. Izaya pick up Psyche in his arms.
"Awww... Psyche-chan, are you alright?" The small child nodded. "He tried to huwt me." Shizuo and Celty helped Shinra to get up. "I was trying to take a blood test, so I need blood! Therefore, I..."
"Spare us the explaination, Shinra. You're getting on my nerves.." Shizuo snapped. Celty calmed Shizuo by patting his shoulder. "Celtyyyyyy!" Shinra leaped onto the dullahan. Celty comforts the weird doctor while Izaya explain the situation to Psyche. "So it doesn't huwt?" "Yes. And didn't you say that you're a big boy now?" Izaya referred to the morning incident.
"Ok, mama. Psyche big boy." The small raven gave out his arm to the now calm Shinra. The doctor swiped some alcohol and inserted the needle in the flesh. A few seconds later, a happy Psyche is sitting on Izaya while sucking a lollipop. Tsugaru went to his little brother and asked, "Psyche, okay?" He was replied with a gummy smile and a nod.
"Tsugaru, you're next. Don't be scared, okay? I'm here with you..." Shizuo smiled at the small replica of him. "Un." The small child entered the treatment room with Shizuo holding hands with him. A half an hour later, the treatment room's door opened. Tsugaru and Shizuo came out with a lollipop in their mouths.
"Shizu-chan, why did YOU have a lollipop?"
"It's my daily sugar intake. It looks so tempting..." Shizuo said. "By the way, SOMEONE threw out my cigarettes."
After a few hours and Delic and Hibiya had been examined, they thanked the couple and head out. "Damn, it's really weird to see them have kids..." Shinra mumbled to himself.
They are on their way back home when they passed a park with a playground. Psyche tugged on Shizuo's hair to get his attention. "Hm? What?" "Papa, what's that?" The little raven pointed at the playground.
"That's a playground, where little kids like you play and run around." Shizuo explained. Psyche just stared at the playground, watching the kids playing there. Tsugaru tugged on Psyche's sleeves, shaking his head. Psyche got Tsugaru's message and nodded his head. He averted his gaze somewhere else other than the playground. Izaya noticed the change of expression on Psyche's face.
"Psyche-chan~ Do you want to go to the playground? We still have time, you know~" Izaya asked. Psyche's pink eyes sparkled. Tsugaru tugged on Psyche again, shaking his head hardly. Psyche turned to his brother and stared at him with his big, teary eyes. After seconds staring, Tsugaru sighed and looked away. Psyche is satisfied and replied to Izaya, "Can we?" "Yup." "Yay!"
They all head to the park and sat down on a bench under a shady tree. Shizuo hand over the sleeping Delic to Izaya and carefully puts down the other two from his shoulders to the ground. "Listen here, papa will play with you but you have to promise not to go anywhere without ?" said Izaya.
"Hai, mama! Let's go, papa, Tsu-nii!" Psyche and Tsugaru ran off to the playground, hand in hand. As Shizuo got off from the bench, Izaya pulled him into a quick kiss. He gave Shizuo his usual smirk and said, "You're a good papa, Shizu-chan~" Shizuo turns red upon hearing those words from Izaya. He walked away from Izaya to play with Psyche and Tsugaru.
"Papa? Why red?" Tsugaru is concerned, seeing Shizuo's blushing face. "I'm alright, Tsugaru. It's nothing.." Shizuo tried to hide his face. "Papa, I wanna ride that!" Psyche points at the slide. "Okay. Here we go!" Shizuo lifted both of them and place them on the top of the slide. "Tsugaru, hold onto Psyche." The small blonde holds his little brother tightly and Shizuo gives them a slight push.
"Wheee~ Ahahahahaha... Again!" Psyche demanded. Tsugaru gave Shizuo a smile, showing that he is having fun. "Again? Okay." "Push!" "Wheeeee~" When they reached at the bottom of the slide, Psyche's gaze was caught on the swings. "Papa! That one next!"
Shizuo carried them to the swings. 'They look so happy together... Just like real father and sons...' Izaya thought. "Shizu-chan! It's getting late and we need to make dinner! Let's go!" Izaya called out to his lover. "Let's go, Tsugaru, Psyche! What do you want to eat for dinner?"
No reply was heard. They sort of trembled when Shizuo said dinner. "What's wrong? Tsugaru? Psyche?" They whimpered in his big arms. Shizuo takes them to Izaya. "Izaya, let's go home.. They won't stop shaking..."
"Okay, let's go then. Don't worry, Tsu-chan, Psyche-chan. We'll be home soon..." Izaya said in a worried tone.
"We're home..." Shizuo and Izaya said at the same time. Shizuo placed the trembling kids on the sofa, taking a blanket from their room and covers them with it. "Shizu-chan, I'm going to the room first to tuck in the little ones. I'll be back in a bit." "Kay.."
"Hey... What's wrong.. Did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you? Hey.." Asked Shizuo. He check them under the blanket. They were trembling, eyes shut, clinging to each other tightly. It's like they were scared and at the same time expecting something.
Izaya came and also tried to console the trembling children. "Are you all right, Tsu-chan, Psyche-chan? Why won't you tell mama what's scaring you? Mama won't do anything bad to my babies... Nee, come here?" Izaya spread out his arms.
Psyche saw Izaya and he slowly crawl out of the blanket and reach out for Izaya. "M..ma..ma..." Sob the poor child. Izaya strokes the child's head, trying to calm him down. "How about we make dinner together? That would fun, nee?" Izaya suggested.
Shizuo picked up Tsugaru and tried to tickle the small blonde. Tsugaru hides his face from Shizuo to hide his laughter. Shizuo tickles harder and Tsugaru finally broke into laughter.
"Yeah, that would be nice... How about we make fried rice?" Psyche brighten up a bit after hearing food. "Fwied rice?" "You like it, Psyche-chan? Come, let's prepare to cook it now, shall we?" They all head to the kitchen and prepared some things. Izaya taught the kids how to wash the rice, dice the vegetables. Then, Shizuo cooked all of them together since Izaya will most likely burn the whole kitchen.
"Jaaannn~ Let's eat!"
"Papa, I'm sweepy..." Yawned Psyche. Tsugaru has yawned a lot of times. After bathing and eating, they all sat down in front of the television except for Izaya for he has to do some work."Okay, it's time for beddy bye, guys. Mama! It's time for bed!" Shizuo calls for his lover.
"Wait.. Wait.. Wait.. I'm almost... Finished! I'm coming!" Izaya runs to Shizuo and takes Tsugaru from him. He kisses the small blonde lots on the face. They entered the bedroom and placed the kids on the bed. The couple changed themselves into their night clothes and when they got in the bed, the children has already fallen asleep.
"Shizu-chan, don't you think that those kids are weird? They have never seen a playground before. They got scared all of the sudden. They get very defensive when they see a sharp object and they are very protective towards their siblings." Izaya pointed out some points.
"Yeah.. Wait.." Their conversation got cut off by the sound of Shizuo's phone ringing. "Yo, Shinra. Speaker? Okay." Shizuo pressed the loudspeaker button on his phone for both of them to hear.
Shizuo, Izaya.. You would not believe this. When I was examining the kids just now, I found that both of them have marks on their body, possibly from beating from a whip or cane. The babies were fine. I think... They might've been abused.
