He blinks at the bundle of joy in your arms. A small thing with his pink hair and red eyes but also your chubby cheeks and doe-like eyes.
You were trying to get your husband to hold his daughter.
The throne room was empty so, much to Sukuna's favour, no one was there to witness how tense and awkwardly the King of Curses sat on his throne while his two monstrous arms held a tiny, fragile baby.
"Be gentle. Support her head." Your soft voice instructed him.
But Sukuna was not made for gentleness. Sure, he tries with you... but this is entirely different. He felt like he could crush the baby even if he stayed perfectly still.
So he scoffed. "This is ridiculous. Take her back." I might break her. He refrained from adding.
But you saw his tense look and noticed the slight panic in his tone. After being married to this powerful man for years, you know your husband better than anyone else does.
"Love, it's okay. You're doing great." You assured him with a tender hand on his shoulder.
He looked down at his daughter who blinked at him with a curious stare. And then, she lifted her tiny, little hand up.
Sukuna found himself lifting his third hand, hesitantly bringing it closer to her.
And when his little girl grabbed his pinky in her small hand, and when she smiled at him before bursting into soft giggles, he swore the flames ignited in his heart were stronger than his own fuga.
His shoulders relaxed and his lips twitched into a small smile. He lowered his hand to gently trace his daughter's chin with his large thumb.
"Hmph. You have your mother's smile." He commented.
He found himself smiling for the second time when he felt you lean against him as both of you looked down at your beautiful, little girl.
First, 1 became 2.
He was used to doing everything alone. Sure, he had friends, but he still felt a little lonely sometimes.
Every day felt more like a chore than something enjoyable: wake up alone, shower, wash his teeth with that blue toothbrush of his, go to school, come back to an empty house.
It was boring. It was dull. It was lonely.
Until he met you. And suddenly, things weren't a hassle anymore.
He woke up tangled in your arms, your warmth comforting him and making him want to sleep at least 5 minutes more. He showered with you, both scrubbing each other and washing the other's hair (the feeling of you massaging his scalp could never be forgotten). His toothbrush was not alone anymore: your pink one was beside it, as if keeping it company (just like you do with him), and the walk to college and the walk back home were now colorful and fun.
He thought things couldn't get any better. But they could.
After your marriage, in which you two became one, another person came to add to his life.
2 became 3.
Now, he woke up in the middle of the night. Restless, and yet with a large smile on his face. How could he not smile, when he woke up cause he felt your toodler slip right between both of you, just wanting to sleep with their parents after a scary nightmare?
When he went to shower, he saw you scrubbing your kid's hair while singing a gentle song. The sight made him smile while jokingly asking you to do the same for him. You only laughed and splahsed him with water, but he knew (and you did, too) that you would do this if he really asked you to.
There were 3 toothbrushes on the sink now: a blue one, a pink one, and a Paw Patrol one.
Sadly, when he went to work, he had to go alone. But not lonely. No. After he met you, he wasn't lonely anymore.
He came back to a noisy house, with you taking off his tie and a toodler running to him, asking for "daddy" to pick them up.
He couldn't ever get tired of this lifestyle. Even if he had to work hard to provide for all of you, it was worth it in the end.
He couldn't be happier for life's math.

Hi! New anon here (đŚ ). Wonât ask how youâre feeling because weâre all in mourning and in shambles, but what do you think Lottie would be like with a reader whoâs an Antler Queen? Lowkey LottieNat-leaning, but reader was the one who got chosen, and now theyâre in the spring, and Lottie is THE prophet while reader is THE queen.
Thank you!
Her queen
A/N: Hello my dears, I am back! (I think). This isn't the best of my works and my writing has some improvment to do after my hiatus, but I tried to make it make sense.
Also, let's all welcome dearđŚ anon eveyone! I require a round of applause please. Enjoy!
Oh Lottie, the workshipper that you are.
That winter day, when the snow was raging outside and the cold seeped inside the wooden cabin, she consulted with It, asked It what they could do to survive the winter.
When she heard Its voice echo inside her ears, cold as the icy wind and hoarse as a murder of crows and as billions of ghostsâ whispers, she couldn't believe what It was asking, no, demanding of her. You, out of everyone?
That day, she questioned herself whether the Wilderness was real, or a figment of her own imagination. But an order itâs an order, and like the true devotee she is, she compiled.Â
When she came into the room, everyoneâs faces looked harsh, distant, barely holding it together. The dance of light and shadows the fire projected into the room and onto their faces only added more depth to the seriousness of the situation. Had she been good at art history, Lottie could have confidently said that she had been transported into a baroqueâs painting world. Or Victorian gothic, or whatever.
She couldnât see you at first, not behind the bloody pulp of meat that was left in place of her left eye, not with you away from the center of the room, hidden in the dark, protecting yourself from what was happening. From what was about to happen.
You always looked so precious to her.
Natalie was always It's favorite, but you were always hers.
You were too busy drawing imaginary doodles on the floor, trying to do anything to forget this place to see her walking towards you. Her and your friendsâ faces morphed into confusion, anger and jealousy as she arrived at your feet. Only when the fireplaceâs lights were gone from your eyes, did you look up. Standing above you, the light shone around her, creating a halo around her figure. She looked almost holy to you, had her face not been shrouded in darkness.
âIt choseâ. Â
Adorned with an antler crown, you order, help and try your best to hold the group together.
You are a beacon of light, a hope inside the darkness. Someone she can count on, someone she knows will lead all of you to safety.Â
Lottie is utterly obsessed with you, even more so after you became the Antler Queen. She treats you like a god.
She gives you her share of the food, stuff your clothes with fresh medicinal herbs, kisses you goodnight every day, when the sun goes down, right in the middle of camp, in front of everybody. She looks up at you with love in her eyes, as if you were a gift the Wilderness sent her, for how good of a devotee she was.
Speaking of kisses. Charlotte, previous to the crash, had never been too much into public displays of affection. And, more than that, she never confessed anything about her little crush for you. But after everything went to shit, itâs like a cloud obscures her judgment. She had always felt this need to tell you, to come and sit down next to you and whisper in your ear âI like youâ, but never had the courage.
Thatâs until the Wilderness itself made you their queen, and from then on, all her fears and doubts melted away.
On one of those afternoons when the air gets warmer and the light shines longer, she comes to you. You were sitting down on a log, letting time pass while you carved a figure out of wood. Itâs something that always made her smile, how you could still cling to humanity in a place like this. She couldnât. They couldnât.
Since the evening was nearing, everyone was finishing up their tasks, sitting by the fire or losing track of time. You looked up to see Lottieâs gaze fixated down on you. âOh, Lottie. Wha-â you couldnât finish your words, because the moment you stood up, she took your face in her hands and leaned down to kiss you.
The more time passed, the rougher she had become with you. Her teeth pulled at your bottom lip, her tongue exploring your mouth, her breath heavy against your skin. All of that, in front of every one of your friends.Â
You couldnât let yourself be seen by anyone for a while, especially because Lottie had followed you to your tent.Â
She follows you; no matter where you go, you've always got her eyes on you.
Resting inside your tent? Lottie peeks at you.
Hunting with Natalie? She gives you a protection token and prays for you while you are away.
Eating meat by the fire? She watches as your teeth sink into it.
You think itâs a little weird sometimes, but you know she means well.Â
And donât get me started on the rituals.
They are divided into two categories: the ones that are performed in front of everyone, and the ones that only you two share. Despite the height of the experience of a group ritual, it's the private ones that are her favorite.Â
She wakes you in the middle of the night, when everyone is asleep and the air is cool. You follow her into the woods, away from the camp. She tells you that the Wilderness has asked her for a sacrifice tonight, and that that sacrifice is you. She tells you that It wants to hear you scream into the night, wants to feel you writhe above the ground it rules over.Â
So you sit on an old tree stump, big enough to let you sit comfy on it. Lottie slowly descends down your body, until her face is nestled right where you need her the most. Thanks to her height, she has no problems in placing your legs on her shoulders; hell, you are even slightly curved upwards because of it.
She dives right down, taking you between her lips, workships you until her name echoes between the trees. Under the springâs moon and stars only you and her exist.
Only with you she can still be human.
You are her god, and sheâll be your servant until she dies.
When you get back to camp, youâre greeted by a tired Taissa sitting by the fire, with deep eyebags, looking at you as if she could kill you with her gaze.
âYou should really keep your voice downâŚâ.Â

Falling asleep on Spencerâs shoulder on the jet, snoring lightly as you finally get some sleep.
Spencerâs been waiting all case for you to sleep properly, but no amount of tea at night and magnesium rich foods helped. The only thing that did it was you wrapping the case up and going home.
Now, he canât move his shoulder for the next three hours of the flight and finds he doesnât mind.
Spencer spends time just watching you, taking in the way your chest moves up and down and how your cheek smushed up against his shoulder makes you look delicate and soft.
âShe okay?â Derek asks, seeing Spencerâs attention on you so keenly.
âHuh?â Spencer lifts his head, almost like heâd been in a trance. âYeah sheâs okay, just exhausted.â
His hand cradles your head to his shoulder as they move through a bit of turbulence. Derek smiles, a fierce sort of older brother feeling building in his chest.
âDo you think sheâll kill me if I take a photo?â He asks, Spencer shakes his head.
âLet her sleep, Derek.â He boos but walks back to his seat sipping his coffee.
Spencer stretches for his own coffee, frowning when you stir and grab hold of his shirt. âMâright here,â he murmurs, sitting back and pressing his lips to your temple as you settle.
âOkay loverboy!â Emily coos, Spencer rolling his eyes even as he blushes. âYou guys going back together? Having a quiet night in?â
Before Spencer can answer, Hotch is chiming in. âEmily,â itâs a warning but the woman lives for teasing you and Spencer.
âWhat? I just wanna know if she has secretly pink walls with pretty flowers.â
Spencer scoffs, like heâd ever tell them. âYeah theyâre hot pink with white ones.â His thumb strokes your cheek, brushing up against the crush of your eyelashes every so often.
It takes Emily the rest of the flight to realise Spencer was fucking with her and Spencer is comforted by the fact that you have grey walls with posters of all your favourite shows and a couple pieces of artwork, some of pretty flowers; that none of them have seen.
bedtime stories are essential for a childâs growthâthey bring families together, foster creativity, and, occasionally, make your children dream a little too wildly. but when your husband is involved, bedtime stories become something else entirely.
sukuna, with his eyes gleaming under the dim nursery light, cleared his throat. babykuna, bundled up in a nest of plush blankets, stared up expectantly, little hands clutching a well-loved, slightly drooled-on copy of the little mermaid. the two feline overlords of the household, mr. pickles the maine coon and baby the orange tabby, sat at the foot of the bed like judgmental literature critics. âalright, brat, letâs get this over with,â sukuna grumbled, flipping the book open with unnecessary force.
âonce upon a time, there was a little mermaid who was a total dumbass.â
babykuna giggled. sukuna smirked, feeling accomplished.
âshe fell in love with some random guy she saved from drowning, whichâletâs be honestâprobably shouldâve been a red flag for him. but, whatever, she went to a shady sea witch, literally signed away her voice, andââ
mr. pickles gave a loud, drawn-out meeooow. baby, not one to be outdone, stood up and began kneading at sukunaâs arm aggressively, a clear sign of feline displeasure. babykunaâs giggles faltered, little brows furrowing.
the great and mighty sukuna was being heckled. by a pair of cats. âwhat?â he scowled. âthis is realism. the brat needs to know thatââ
baby lunged. tiny paws, soft but full of silent rage, landed squarely on sukunaâs chest. mr. pickles followed, his sheer weight nearly knocking sukuna off balance. âoh, you read it then, you furry little dictators!â sukuna barked, trying to reclaim his spot, but it was too lateâthe feline coup had begun. babykuna, sensing an opportunity, reached out with tiny hands.
âmamaaaaaa!â
within seconds, you were summoned, the true ruler of bedtime stories. with a smug smile, you took the book, settled in beside babykuna, and began reading in a voice so soft and mesmerizing that even the cats curled up, content. sukuna, defeated, crossed his arms and sulked. âi was getting to the part where she turns into sea foam,â he muttered.
âand that,â you said, flipping a page gracefully, âis why you have been overthrown.â
meanwhile, in the nanami household, peace reigned. yuuji was already buried under his blanket, head resting on your shoulder as nanami turned a page in james and the giant peach. his voice was smooth, perfectly paced, as if he were personally trained by roald dahl himself.
ââŚand then, the peach broke free, rolling down the hill, gathering speedââ
you sniffled. nanami paused. âare you crying?â he asked, a single brow raised.
âitâs just⌠the way you narrateâŚâ you wiped your eyes dramatically. âitâs so good.â yuuji, completely unbothered, snored into your arm.
nanami sighed, closing the book for the night. âif i recall correctly, you made me read matilda three times in a row last week just because you liked my narration.â
âand i regret nothing,â you declared. yuuji snored louder. nanami shook his head and leaned over to press a kiss to your temple, then to yuujiâs forehead. âalright, lights out.â
meanwhile, at the fushiguro household, bedtime negotiations were in full swing. âmegumi, mamaâs got an early mission tomorrow,â you reasoned, tucking him in. âso just one story tonight, okay?â megumi crossed his arms, unimpressed.Â
âpapaâs not home yet.â
âheâs working.â
âso that means i get two stories when heâs back.â
you sighed. your son was already a little strategist. giving in, you started with your usualâa story about a brave princess who tamed a dragon with kindness, something soft and magical. by the time you finished, megumiâs eyes were drooping. perfect. he was almost asleep.
then, the door creaked open, and in walked toji. megumi perked up immediately. âpapa, story!â toji groaned, rubbing the back of his neck. âdidnât mama alreadyââ
âtwo stories. itâs a rule,â megumi declared. toji gave you a look, and you simply shrugged. you werenât the one who raised a bedtime tyrant. so, toji sat down at the edge of the bed, cracking his neck before launching into a very different kind of tale.
âaight, kid, so there was this guyâreal nasty piece of work, always hid out in this old warehouse, right? well, guess what? iâuh, i mean, our hero, batmanâhad to take him out before sunrise.â your eyes narrowed.
âtoji.â
âwhat?â he grinned. âiâm censoring it.â
megumi, already half-asleep, murmured, âwhat happened next?â toji smirked. âour hero dodged a knife, flipped over the bad guy, and bamâknocked him out cold. then he disappeared into the night.â megumi was completely out, breathing soft and even.
toji shot you a wink. âworks like a charm every time.â you sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose. âyouâre not supposed to use your assignments as bedtime stories.â
âwhy not?â toji smirked. âkeeps him entertained.â
âyouâre gonna turn him into a vigilante.â
he kissed your cheek, grinning. âwell, at least heâll be well-rested for it.â
in the gojo household, bedtime stories are a prime-time production. "alright, babytoru," gojo grinned, settling into bed beside his six-year-old daughter, who was vibrating with excitement. "where were we?"
âseason six, episode four!â she announced. âprincess toru and the forbidden candy kingdom!â
âaaahh, yes,â gojo smirked, flipping through an invisible script. âlast time on bedtime stories, princess toru was betrayed by her most trusted royal advisorâsir mochi the talking panda.â babytoru gasped.
âmochi betrayed me?!â
âtragically,â gojo nodded. âbut! fear not, for your knight in shining armorâsir papaâhas infiltrated the candy kingdomâs fortress.â
"did he bring weapons?"
"no! he brought the power of love and charisma, obviously."
babytoru clapped. gojo, fully immersed, dramatically reenacted the entire rescue operation, throwing in last-minute plot twists, a villain redemption arc, and a musical number (he made up the lyrics on the spot). this bedtime story series started when babytoru was four, and now, at nearly six, they were six seasons in, complete with christmas specials, crossover episodes, and merchandising potential. if gojo played his cards right, he could sell the rights to a producer friend, get an animated series going, and dedicate it all to his little girl.
"alright, thatâs a wrap for tonight!" gojo declared.Â
babytoru yawned, already half-asleep, mumbling, ânext time, we need a new villain...âÂ
gojo smirked, tucking her in. "leave that to me, princess."
little did she know, next episode was the mid-season finale.
geto believed bedtime stories should be meaningful. something with moral lessons. his twin girls? they did not share this belief.
"okay, papa, one more story!"
geto sighed. "fine. but this one comes with a lesson."
the twins, already suspicious, huddled under the covers. âonce upon a time," geto began, voice deep and soothing, "there were two little girlsâvery much like you twoâwho forgot to brush their teeth before bed."
the twins gasped.
"they thought, 'whatâs the worst that could happen?' but then... the tooth fairy came."
the room fell silent.
"but papa," one twin hesitated, "isn't the tooth fairy... nice?"
"ha! that's what they thought! but this tooth fairy? she didn't collect teeth under pillows. she took them straight from their mouths!"
the twins screamed, clutching their toothbrushes as if their lives depended on it. that night, they slept with their toothbrushes in hand. extreme? maybe. effective? absolutely.
the family dentist was thrilled.
chosoâs approach to bedtime stories was simple: classics, classics, classics. his four kidsâtwin girls and twin boysâwere raised on a steady diet of great literature. tonight, they were rereading the great gatsby. "papa," one of the girls yawned, âwhy does gatsby love daisy so much?â choso sighed deeply, looking out the window as if the tragedy of it all pained him personally.
"because, my little ones," he said, flipping a page, "gatsby believed in the green light, that orgastic future that year by year recedes before us."
one of the boys muttered sleepily, "papa... you read that every time."
"and yet," choso said solemnly, "you still do not understand."
by now, the kids could quote entire passages from memory. sometimes, at school, they would just casually drop lines like, "so we beat on, boats against the currentâ" and confuse their classmates. one time, during a parent-teacher meeting, their teacher had pulled choso aside and asked, âmr. kamo, why do your children know the complete works of f. scott fitzgerald?â choso had simply nodded in approval.
"good," he said. "their education is going well."
Hello so I have a Daisuke x reader request if you don't mind! I loved the make out story you did and so if you don't mind Daisuke and reader making out an Daisuke bitting HARD on reader skin like this đ¨ hard so hard that the EVERYONE could notice it and how it go to that point like if you don't mind
You don't have to do! If you don't want! Have a nice day!
Pairings: Daisuke x F!reader
Warnings: BITING; marking; hickeys, SUGGESTIVE (kinda nsfw, so mdni I guess??), cringe, not proofread, probably contains grammar mistakes, english isn't my first language!!
(A/N): I had a little bit too much fun writing thisđ¨ THIS IS SO GROSS AND CRINGE WHAT DO I DOđŁ Btw I like, haven't posted a fic in so long lol, I'm really sorry and all, I'm a bit lateđ¤ -> m.list
Daisuke's hands were both on opposite sides of your head, your legs wrapped around his waist and hands thrown loosely over his shoulders.
His lips were pressed to yours in a deep, heated kiss. He gently bit your bottom lip, as if asking for you to open your mouth. You let out a soft gasp and slowly parted your lips, his tongue immediately finding its way inside and twirling around with your own.
After a few moments, he pulled away, panting. You were breathing heavily, chest heaving up and down as you stared at him, watching him gaze back at you with love filling his eyes. You adored the way his hair fell down and over his face most of the time when he was looking down at you, when you were in the same exact position as you were in right now.
Daisuke smiled at you, his face burying into your neck as he started leaving soft kisses down to your shoulder. You chuckled at the ticklish sensation, with the way his lips barely hovered onto your skin, lightly pressing kisses. One of his hands went to hold onto your waist, the other supporting him.
His gentle kisses slowly turned to sucking, earning whines from you. He left a few faint red marks on your shoulders that would surely fade away in a few hours, luckily not too visible.
Daisuke trailed his kisses to your jaw, your hands tangling in his hair. All of the sudden, he bit down on your neck, digging his teeth into your skin and drawing out a yelp from you as you pulled on his hair. He gently licked the mark, sucking to soothe the pain.
Daisuke pulled back as he chuckled, staring down at you with nothing but joy in his eyes. He admired his work, eyes scanning over the faint red splotches, until he came upon the one he just gave you a few seconds prior. It slowly turned into a dark purple spot, right on your upper neck, on display to anybody passing by.
"Sorry." He smiled at you, to wich you raised a brow in confusion.
"You might need to cover that up." He added, nuzzling his face into your neck as you slowly came to the realization that yes, he did leave a noticeable mark.
"I thought we talked about where you place your kisses." You sighed out, fighting a smile at his stupidity.
"We did?"
You shook your head, knowing it was pointless. Just how would you walk around the ship now?
...
...
You thought you were slick enough.
You pulled your uniform collar a bit higher, covering over the mark perfectly.
What you didn't know, was that if you even tilted your head slightly, it would be completely evident.
...
...
CURLY
You were hurrying out of Daisuke's room, hoping not to be seen by others, scanning the area and making sure no one was there.
You fixed up your hair a bit, pulling the collar of your uniform higher.
Your shoes tapped on the floor, rushing through the hallways. You weren't even looking up ahead, eyes glued to your feet.
You raised your head just in time to prevent yourself from crashing into your captain, forcing your legs to stop abruptly.
You smiled nervously, looking at him and giving a short nod as a greeting, to wich he reciprocated.
Although his eyes seemed to linger on you for a while longer, his brows furrowing as he studied you.
"You okay?" He asked, his expression one of curiosity and hesitance.
"Yeah... Why wouldn't I be?" You replied, your brow arching in confusion.
"No reason... Carry on." He nodded, giving an unsure smile as he walked away, leaving you dumbstruck.
...
It HAD to have been a hickey. He knew it too well. He was aware of how one looked like... But that mark specifically looked more like teeth marks to him. As if someone bit down onto you.
Curly was a bit perplexed. He didn't remember there being a rule against relationships among the crew... But then again, who was it?
His suspicion was aimed at Daisuke, since you two are in close age range and always hang out together.
JIMMY
Your feet dragged on the floor lazily, humming to yourself on your way to meet Anya.
Just then, you saw Jimmy walking towards your direction. You didn't like Jimmy.
You almost rolled your eyes, but you gave a quick wave so he doesn't think you're an asshole.
He gave a nod back, before stopping briefly to look at you. He stared you down, eyes going wide and a frown forming on his lips.
"What the hell happened to you?" He asked in disgust, studying you.
You raised a brow as you tilted your head to the side in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
He sighed and shook his head, looking straight ahead again.
"Nevermind... slut." He mumbled the last part, chuckling as he walked away.
You swore you heard him insult you, but you just didn't hear him well enough, therefore there was no evidence.
...
He knew DAMN WELL.
Fingers pointed proudly at Daisuke.
Jimmy always had a feeling you two were a bit TOO close, not co-workers type of close, neither friends type of close.
He just didn't expect the dumbass to have a chance, let alone manage to get into your pants.
ANYA
After all of those uncomfortable encounters and awkward situations, you finally stopped in front of the medical room, where Anya was currently working.
Before you could enter, Anya herself came out of the room, a bit surprised to see you there as she flinched, before smiling quickly.
"Oh, you scared me..." She spoke, her eyes studying your face before they stopped at a specific spot.
Her brows furrowed a little, seeming concerned.
"Are you alright?" She asked, thinking it was maybe a rash, or possibly even allergies.
"Hm? Why wouldn't I be?" You questioned, squinting your eyes at her.
Everybody's been acting weird today...
Anya's eyes widened for a brief second as she took a closer look, her lips parting before they shut closed. She felt a weird burning feeling through her chest, and her mind just fogged up. Did something bad happen to you?
But you seemed happy... Maybe a little tense, but happy nonetheless. She thought back to all the times she's caught you and Daisuke in each other's rooms, brushing it off as just "friends talk", or all the times she's seen you two chatting a bit too smug in the hallways, also every single time she's heard you two flirt with each other. The corners of her mouth were fighting for life, trying to hold back a smile.
"No, nevermind, I think you should check up on that." She suggested, patting your shoulder and walking past you.
"Wait, I wanted to tell you something!"
"Check up on Daisuke while you're at it..." She whispered to herself, letting out a quiet giggle.
Your brows raised, lips forming a thin line. Just what the hell was going on?
...
It was hard to believe that YOU would actually do such a thing. She just couldn't think of her friend doing stuff like this.
She knew all too well it was Daisuke.
Another thing is that she was incredibly shocked at the fact that Daisuke managed to leave such a mark on you, she pondered for a while and came to the conclusion that it must've hurt like hell.
SWANSEA
You felt weird, getting scanned by your crew members' eyes and maybe even judged by some.
So why not try and find Daisuke, pretty much the only person who know how to comfort you best?
Of course, he'd be with Swansea.
You opened the door, but your boyfriend wasn't there, only the same grumpy man.
"What do you want?" Swansea asked, before turning to look at you.
"Just looking for Daisuke." You replied, taking a quick glance around the room.
"Are you okay?" He asked, squinting his eyes at you.
"Everyone's been asking me that, I don't get it!" You didn't bother responding, your brows furrowing as you started getting a bit irritated.
"Pull up your collar or something. Damn animals..." He muttered that last part, going back to his work as you stood there in utter shock.
So that's what was wrong.
...
Swansea already knew it. All too well.
Daisuke was just praising you so much, talking his ear off, mentioning every single detail you had.
Since the airhead can't keep secrets too well, he managed to accidentally spill it out one day.
But it wasn't like Swansea didn't know, he's caught you two together a couple of times, he just never talked about it.
...
You felt your cheeks heat up as you tugged harshly on your collar to pull it up, wanting the ship to crash right at this moment.
Screw you Daisuke. Screw your boyfriend for embarrassing you in front of everyone.
â yoyomiko â miko
Characters: Satoru, Suguru, and Choso.
Your sweet husbands are taking care of the kids for you while you're at some wedding the invite clearly saying "No Kids". That's fine...your husband can handle it right?
Satoru was sure he could handle it. After all, how hard could it be to watch over his little guy for a few hours while you attended a wedding? But what he didnât account for was his soon-to-be one-year-old's teething phase turning his sweet baby into a tiny, drooling menace.
With his son strapped snugly in a baby harness against his chest, Satoru was convinced theyâd get through the day without a hitch. He had his lecture planned, a mission lined up with the kids, and, of course, his little oneâs nap schedule firmly memorized. You had emphasized that routine was essential, and he, being the ever-attentive husband, was sure heâd nailed it.
But as he strolled into the school, proudly chatting with his colleagues about how âeasyâ fatherhood was, his little boy had other plans. Every few seconds, tiny, sticky hands would reach up, eagerly grasping for Satoruâs fingers for a nibble. Drool was dripping steadily from his sonâs mouth, leaving a little trail on Satoruâs shirt, but he didnât mind. With his heart full and his confidence sky-high, he figured everything was under control.
When his little mochi whimpered and grabbed at his fingers for the hundredth time, Satoru finally glanced down, pressing a light kiss to his sonâs wild, snow-white hair. âEasy day, right, buddy?â he cooed, still blissfully unaware of what was to come.
It was not an easy day. Satoruâs confidence shattered the instant a huge wail erupted from his little one, echoing down the hallway and catching the attention of every passing student. Big, red cheeks puffed up on his sonâs face, tiny fists reaching up toward Satoru with desperation, his drooly little mouth quivering.
"Maybe heâs hungry?" Satoru murmured, patting his son's back, hoping to soothe him. "Or tired already? Ah, come on, little mochi, we were supposed to have this handled." But the cries only grew louder, and a creeping realization hit himâheâd left the diaper bag at home. And the toys.
âOh, crapâŚâ He muttered, running a hand through his hair in a rare moment of panic. Three hours of sleep had definitely taken its toll, and he was starting to feel the weight of every âno problemâ promise heâd made to you that morning.
With no pacifier, no extra clothes, and his son's unhappy shrieks growing louder, Satoru swallowed his pride and started bouncing a little, whispering desperately, âCâmon, buddy, give your dad a break⌠Just till Momma gets backâŚâ
Nanami found him standing helplessly in the hallway, looking like he'd been caught in the middle of a disaster zone. Without missing a beat, Nanami took in the sightâthe wailing, red-cheeked baby clawing at Satoruâs face, and Satoruâs sheepish, desperate smileâand made an easy diagnosis.
"He's teething, probably," Nanami said in his typical stoic tone. "At that age, and judging by that wail, he's frustrated. Take it from someone who has three kids."
Satoru blinked at him, slightly stunned. What was Nanami, some kind of baby whisperer? How did he know all this?
As if reading his mind, Nanami continued, "Hold on. I have a baby bag in my car. We keep a spare unopened teething ring and some other essentials." His gaze swept over Satoruâs empty hands and slightly disheveled look. "Judging by the lack of your baby bag, Iâm guessing you forgot some things."
Satoruâs face broke into a sheepish laugh, scratching the back of his neck. "Yeah⌠three hours of sleep will do that to a guy."
Without another word, Nanami turned, motioning for Satoru to follow. âCome on. Weâll get him sorted. And maybeââ he gave Satoru a pointed look, ââIâll teach you a thing or two.â
Satoru chuckled, half-relieved, half-embarrassed as he followed. Maybe today will be a bit easier after all.
Suguru had parenting down to an art. He practically embodied the role so well that anyone might mistake him for a mother, the way he handled each detail with care and precision. Fortunately, the twins were off at school, leaving him with his youngestâhis curious little boy whoâd just turned two. As they made their way to the training grounds, Suguru watched his son toddling beside him, attached by one of those child leash backpacks. Youâd joked it was a control thing when he brought it home, and honestly, he couldnât deny it. His peace of mind was priceless.
When they arrived, the first years immediately gravitated toward the little one, their hearts melting at his wide-eyed gaze and tiny fingers pointing at everything in sight. Suguru could only chuckle softly, amused by the way his son looked at the world, taking it all in with endless wonder.
With a practiced calm, Suguru spread a soft blanket over the grass, laying out toys and a couple of sturdy board books for his little one. Settling down, he reached for the sunscreen, his voice gentle as he coaxed his son to sit still. "Come on, letâs put some sunscreen on you," he said softly, hands cradling his son's round cheeks as he carefully smoothed the cream into every nook and cranny of his chubby face.
Every so often, heâd throw a glare at the first years when he caught them stealing glances instead of focusing on their stretching. âEyes on your forms,â he reminded, his voice just stern enough to bring them back to reality.
Suguru returned his focus to his little boy, who was already distracted by a toy, happily babbling.
"Pink!" His son shouted as he pointed at Yuji.
"That's so good. Yeah, his hair is pink." Suguru would speak soflty and slowly as he put on a little sun hat on his son.
Today was going to be a good dayâquiet, simple, and fully excited to see his wife when he got home.
Choso was great with kidsâeveryone said so. But when it came to his own little one, especially now that she was sick, he felt completely out of his depth. His heart twisted painfully as he looked at his sweet four-year-old daughter, whoâd woken him from a much-needed nap after a grueling late-night mission.
âI threw up, PapaâŚâ she whimpered, her little face streaked with tears and a sniffle escaping her as she looked up at him.
Without a momentâs hesitation, Choso got to work. He changed her sheets, gathered up the laundry, and made sure she was comfortable as she crawled into his and your shared bed, nestling herself among the pillows. He placed a kiss on her forehead, murmuring a soft, âRest here, baby. Papa will be right back.â
Heading downstairs, he mulled over what heâd need. Being half-curse, heâd never experienced sickness himself, which left him a little lost on how to help his little one. Juice seemed like a good idea, right? He also started a small pot of rice, recalling something heâd read online about gentle foods being good for sick children.
A quick call to Nanami confirmed he was on the right track. Suguru added a few more helpful tips, and by the time he went back upstairs, juice in one hand and a bowl of rice in the other, he felt a little more prepared.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he gently nudged his daughter awake. âHere, baby,â he said softly, brushing a hand through her hair. âIâve got some juice and a little bit of rice for you. Itâll help you feel better.â
She blinked up at him, still sniffling, but managed a small, grateful smile, reaching for the juice first. Choso settled beside her, his hand resting on her back as he rubbed slow, comforting circles, silently wishing he could take all her discomfort away. He might be half-curse, but nothing could change how deeply he cared for his little girl.
YOU AND I TOGETHER, WONâT YOU HOLD ON TO ME â YUUTA OKKOTSU
cw mentions of children, pregnancy. so much of yuuta being happy and sappy :(( sorry i havenât shutup about my little depressed lovesick boy making it out and living a full life. probably wonât anytime soon actually. satoru is alive and well in all my renditions of happily ever after and that wonât change either i fear Â
Yuuta talks about the future often. A future with you, and him, and your friends, and a family where youâre all together forever and he gets to love you until the end of time.Â
Sometimes, you think he doesnât realize what heâs doingâdreaming about forever with you; but you can never find it in your heart to break his illusion. The boy who used to dread his next waking moment is dreaming and dreaming and dreaming, and making all of yours come true.Â
Itâs quiet in this part of the Gojo compound. The gentle sounds of a stream running through the garden, and chirping of birds are the only noises that disrupt your daydreams.Â
Or, perhaps, fuel them.Â
âI hope our kids arenât afraid of birds,â Yuuta muses, wide eyes looking past your face up to the tall trees, full of happily singing bluebirds, âThereâs so many of them here.âÂ
Youâre gentle when you stroke his hair, taking advantage of his head in your lap to pull the longer pieces out of his eyes.Â
Your smile is giddy, unfiltered. âKids? Plural?âÂ
Yuuta hums with smile. His eyes remain on the sky, chasing a pair of birds that flitter between long branches.Â
âYeah. At least two, so they donât get lonely,â he says, âTheyâll have us, and their cousins, and sensei, and our friends, but theyâre going to need each other at home.â
Yuuta lets his eyes fall to you at the end of his sentence, a sparkling smile on his scarred lips.Â
âI see,â you smile, âAt least two so they can be friends.âÂ
âBest friends,â he revises your statement, âSo they can train together, too, if they want to be sorcerers. Or not. Itâs fine, either way.â He blinks, eyes warm, âI hear that four is the happy medium for a family, but I think three is going to be easier inheritance wise, if sensei is serious about making me clan head someday.âÂ
âIs that so?âÂ
âYeah, but if a fourth comes along, Iâm sure weâll figure it out.âÂ
âIâm sure sensei will have made more than enough money for them by then.âÂ
Yuuta giggles, earnestly in your arms at that. âOf course he will.âÂ
You pause for a moment, committing his laugh to memory. His features flush slightly under your gaze, and you lean down to kiss his scarred forehead. You let your hands resume petting his hair, following in his gaze to look up at the birds.Â
âTell me more about them.âÂ
Yuuta doesnât waste a moment, closing his eyes; letting you paint the picture in the sky for yourself as he talks.Â
âThe gap between the oldest and youngest is six or seven years. I think five might be enough, though. So, that means our middle one is about three when our littlest comes along.âÂ
âUnless a fourth happens.âÂ
Yuuta hums in agreement. âUnless a fourth happens. But weâll have time.âÂ
Youâll have time, you nod. You have time now, you and him; all the time in the world.Â
âA three year old and newborn sounds like a lot of work.âÂ
âMaybe. But weâll also have a seven year old. Heâs going to want to help with the baby, so weâll have an extra hand,â Yuuta says, âAnd thatâs not even counting sensei and the rest.âÂ
âHe?â
âI think heâll be a boy, the oldest. He might look like me, but heâll act like you, so heâs going to be Kugisakiâs favorite.â
You find yourself choking out a genuine cackle at that. When you look down, Yuutaâs got a smile wider than yours.Â
âHe sounds wonderful. Like his father,â you confess, âBut the idea of pregnancy thrice in a seven year span sounds exhausting.âÂ
âWe can use surrogates. Or adopt. Or whatever,â Yuuta tells you, âGojo-sensei will help us figure it out if we need help.âÂ
You have no doubt about that. And now, when you look back up to the sky, you can see vignettes of Gojo-sensei with your your seven year old on his shoulders, your middle child on his hip, and the baby gnawing at his legs.Â
And then Yuuji is skipping into the scene, cooing at the youngest, picking him up and consoling him effortlessly. He carries the baby over to a crib with another crying newborn that looks eerily like Megumi, whose green eyes go wide at the stranger, then smile gummy as both babies reach for each other.Â
Maki is there too, tapping your eldest on the shoulder with her staff and pretending not to have done it. Nobara holds up a shirt to the middle child, brassy in questioning Gojo why she told her that the baby would fit in this size thatâs obviously too big, meanwhile the toddler ignores them both, fascinated with the marks on Togeâs cheeks as he plays peek-a-boo.Â
Itâs not hard to imagine. The scenes in your head arenât wild fantasies or unattainable dreamsânot anymore.Â
âYou want a big family.âÂ
Yuuta nods, reaching for your hand and pulling it away from his hair, and to his lips. âWe have the resources for it now. Not just financiallyâwe have time, and lots of friends, and lots of love.âÂ
Yuuta presses a kiss to the back of your hand, and you smile. Heâs right, thereâs more than enough love to go around.Â
