"What the fuck, man!" Uta cursed as he flung himself out of bed and marched towards the door. "I'll see who it is."

As you panted in bed, collecting yourself, you decided you likely needed to be out there. There wasn't many possibilities of who it could be and most likely of all, they had come for you. So you grabbed Uta's shirt, pulled it over your body and began to follow him out, only a minute or two behind.

"What is it, we're trying to make a baby." Uta opened the door and leaned against the frame, in his full glory. "Oh... oh, Yukizou, hello baby! Oh! Coconut!" He called back at you. "Your uh, your ex is here, YN."

Uta reached out for the baby, but Juuzou, absolutely astonished, took a step back.

"Oh, shit." You muttered as you walked much quicker to the front door. "Juuzou! What's wrong? What happened? Is Yukizou okay?"

Juuzou examined you, looked over at Uta, and then looked back at you. All the while, he remained silent.

"This is... This is Uta, Uta, this is Juuzou..." You made an incredibly awkward introduction. And Uta put his hand out, but let it fall flat as Juuzou ignored it. "Juuzou... What do you need?"

"Work needs me now... So I came to return our baby..." He mentioned carefully, still eyeing Uta.

"What kind of work needs someone at this hour?" Uta laughed, crossing his arms. He was trying to be friendly, but no one was having it. And unfortunately, he walked right into a wonderful trap of a conversation.

"Oh, so he doesn't know about me?" Juuzou provided a wonderfully twisted smile.

"No... no one does, Juuzou..." You mumbled. "Give me Yukizou and you can just go to work."

"Ah, well I think it's only fair that if you're going to have a baby with her too, that we can at least get to know each other a little bit. For example, I'm a human! Are you a human?" Juuzou launched into a monologue that you knew wouldn't end well. But he was holding your son hostage, so you had to sit there and take it.

"Why?" Uta asked.

"WRONG! I already know you're a ghoul!" Juuzou spun in a circle with his baby, clearly suffering from some kind of mental breakdown at the sight in front of him. "You want to know what my job is?" He paused and stood uncomfortably close to Uta, who didn't back down. "I'm a Dove and I like to kill ghouls."

"Is that so? I'm surprised they let someone in with a ghoul family." Uta kept his cool, wearing no emotion on his face.

"Bah, what do they care? I kill the most ghouls out of everyone! Isn't that right, Yukizou?" Juuzou tickled his baby, making him laugh.

"That's enough Juuzou, give me Yukizou and go. You're causing a problem." You looked up at him.

"Am I? Or am I just making you uncomfortable? Because I've been really uncomfortable in my life too, YN. Especially when you used to eat parts of my body, or when your mother smashed my genitals with a hammer! Or! Or! Or! When I opened the door to the house I pay for, for you, only to see a wonderful sight like this!" Juuzou was in your face now, but you could tell he wasn't angry. He was hurt. He was trying not to cry. Juuzou hadn't felt pain like this in years. Over a decade. It was so raw, it felt like he was dying.

"Give me our baby and go to work, Juuzou." You held eye contact with him, begging him to stop. "Please. I'm begging you."

And with that, all the air was knocked out of the white-haired man. He handed over his son, turned around and left.
