Fumiya's birthday was tomorrow and Chuuya already had a plan in mind for his son's first birthday. He wanted everything to be special and he wanted it to be a surprise as well. So he decided to call for Atsushi to babysit Fumiya while he and Dazai went out to shop for the birthday decorations and other necessities. Although Dazai mentioned that Fumiya was still too young to even comprehend a real surprise when he sees one, the ginger still pursued.

"His diapers are on the cabinet in the dresser with some baby powder and baby wipes. I have our everyday schedule on the fridge so you'll know what you need to do to keep Fumiya busy." Atsushi continues to nod as Chuuya cited everything the weretiger needed to know whilst he babysat Fumiya for the day "As for breakfast and lunch, his cereal is on the first cabinet just above the microwave. The milk is there, too, if he suddenly gets hungry. I have the instructions on how to make his cereal and formula on the fridge as well."

"Oh how about bath time?" Atsushi then asked.

"It's okay, I'll handle bathing him when we get home. In the meantime, just apply some baby wipes and change him from his pajamas before you play." Chuuya instructed, earning another nod from the younger boy and Chuuya could only smile fondly at him.

"Are you sure you're gonna be fine, Atsushi-kun?" Chuuya asked for probably the 5th time that morning as he was grabbing his hat from the hat rack by the door.

Atsushi smiled at him "Yes, we'll be fine, Chuuya-san. Akutagawa and I can handle Fumiya so you don't have to worry." the weretiger assured him for the 5th time as well. Chuuya only pouted as he shifted his attention from Atsushi and Akutagawa who was leaning by the wall just behind Atsushi. It's not that he doesn't trust Atsushi--hell he's the most trustworthy person he knows that could take care of his son--it's the fact that he's alone with the ravenette behind him to look after Fumiya is what scares Chuuya the most.

He can never ever forget the last time those two were practically alone on the hallway. God, if he ever finds out these two actually had sex when they're supposed to be looking after Fumiya, he's gonna have to teach them a huge lesson about keeping their own needs in their beds.

Akutagawa was present that time only because Dazai had 'accidentally' caught him and Atsushi making out at Akutagawa's doorway on that exact day that Chuuya was about to ask Atsushi to babysit Fumiya. So as luck would have it, they were suddenly a package since Atsushi asked for it, so he could have company, he says.

"Come on, Chuuya, you've heard Atsushi-kun. What's the worse that could happen, right?" Dazai told the ginger as he placed his hands on the older male's petite shoulders.

"What's the worse that could happen? I'll tell ya what! What's worse is I see these two naked--" Chuuya was cut off from ranting when Dazai immediately covered his mouth and the ginger struggled to get off of his hold. Atsushi only raised his head in wonder to Chuuya's supposed response while the ravenette behind him had a face as red as scarlet once the memory of that night came to his mind.

"Well, we'll be going now. Take care and have fun, you two. No funny business." Dazai waved them goodbye before he pulled the mafioso with him and they were out of the apartment. Atsushi was still a little confused to Chuuya's statement meanwhile Akutagawa only sighed.

"I wonder what that was about." Atsushi asked.

"Beats me." Akutagawa simply shrugged. The two stood there for a moment until a baby's cry could be heard from the master's bedroom, an indication that their work as Fumiya's babysitters had begun.

"Don't look all grumpy like that, Chuuya. It was your idea to have Atsushi babysit Fumiya." Dazai reminded the ginger who was currently driving.

"Yeah, but I wasn't the one who suggested Akutagawa to come as well." Chuuya snapped back at him.

"They're a package now, there's not much we can do about it." the brunette shrugged, putting his hands behind his head as he leaned back comfortably on his seat.

"Yeah. But I swear, if I catch them actually having sex in my apartment and my son witnesses them, Akutagawa is so dead." Chuuya cursed, his grip on the steering wheel tightening more than it should.

"Now, now, Chuuya, don't get too aggressive when you're driving. We wouldn't want to get caught in an accident, now do we?" Dazai reminded him, patting the ginger's shoulder then raising his hand to the ginger's nape to nullify his ability there, making the other shiver before shoving the hand away.

"We wouldn't be if you would stop touching me like that, fucking asshole." Chuuya growled at the brunette who only chuckled at him.

"Say, we haven't had sex for months now, Chuuya." Dazai suddenly brought up, causing the ginger to lightly blush but he tried to hide his flustered expression with a 'tch'.

"So? It's not like we have sex every night ever since you fucking abandoned the Port Mafia." Chuuya reminded him.

"Yeah, but I've kinda been horny since I found you pregnant. You know pregnant men have more sex appeal than women?" Chuuya was glad he was driving and Dazai should be thankful for that as well, or else he would've grabbed the bandaged bastard and threw him off to the other side of the planet, for fuck's sake.

Atsushi ran to the bedroom as if on command and hurriedly tended to Fumiya who lay on his crib and was crying out loud "Oh, shh, shh, don't cry, Fumiya. Atsushi-niisan is here." the silver-haired boy cooed as he picked up the child in his arms and began to cradle him. Fumiya started calming down a little and Atsushi noticed he was biting his tiny hand so the weretiger decided that he must be hungry.

With Fumiya propped on his hip, he walked towards the kitchen to prepare something for Fumiya to eat. He gently placed the small brunette on his high chair then went over to open the cabinet above the microwave to grab Fumiya's cereal and place some on the small bowl he found on the cupboard. Fumiya continued to watch with his hand on his mouth as Atsushi prepared his breakfast.

"Ah, Fumiya, no. Don't put your hand in your mouth, that's dirty." Atsushi scolded but with gentleness in his voice as he placed the bowl of cereal on the high chair's attached table. He took Fumiya's hand out of his mouth and wiped it with a nearby cloth before he started feeding the small brunette.

"You say hands are dirty yet you have no complaints when engulfing mine." Atsushi's face burned with embarrassment as he grabbed anything he could--a fork, luckily--and threw it at Akutagawa who stopped the metal object with his ability.

"Don't say that in front of the kid, Akutagawa!" Atsushi scolded the older man who only smirked at him, making his heart skip a beat before he continued on feeding Fumiya who was just about to put his hand in his mouth again.

After Fumiya had his breakfast, Atsushi took him back into his room to change him from his pajamas into some normal baby clothes as instructed by Chuuya. Once Fumiya was all set, they went to the living room to find Akutagawa sitting on the sofa and reading a book. Once the ravenette caught the small brunette's attention, he began squirming a little and held out his hands towards him.

"Oh, you want Akutagawa-niisan? Hmm?" Atsushi asked as he neared the ravenette and Akutagawa immediately perked his head up to the pair coming his way.

"What? No, no. No, I'm not good with children. Get him away from me." Akutagawa growled as he began shifting away from Atsushi and Fumiya.

"Aww, come on, Akutagawa. Fumiya wants you. Come on." Atsushi continued to taunt Akutagawa as they neared him whilst Akutagawa practically shrank himself in the corner of the couch. Unaware that half of Fumiya's weight was already out of Atsushi's hold, the small brunette began to topple over and was about to fall off of the weretiger's arms when Rashoumon sparked to life and grabbed him.

"I expected a different way of catching him though, but knowing you, I guess this isn't new." Atsushi muttered while Fumiya was being lowered down back into the younger boy's arms.

"Don't tell me you planned on dropping him just so I could catch him?" Akutagawa snarled at him.

"More or less." Atsushi admitted, a little shyly.

"You idiot! What if my ability hadn't caught him on time and he fell and broke his neck?! What would you tell Dazai-san?!" Akutagawa yelled at him, Atsushi and Fumiya both jolting a bit as the older male's voice boomed throughout the living room.

Fumiya suddenly began to cry and Atsushi could feel the immediate dampness on his shirt as the tiny brunette buried his face in it "Ah, shh, shh. It's okay, it's okay, Fumiya. Great, you just made the kid cry, Akutagawa! You should be ashamed! What would Dazai-san say if he found out you yelled at his own son?" Atsushi then told him as he tried to hush Fumiya and calm him down.

"I wasn't yelling at him, stupid, I was yelling at you, dickhead." Akutagawa snapped at him.

"Watch your language, Akutagawa! You shouldn't curse in front of children! Now apologize to the child at once." Atsushi demanded.

"What? Why do I have to-"

"Apologize or I will tell Dazai-san you made Fumiya cry." he taunted.

"But I wasn't even-"

"Akutagawa Ryuunosuke."

Akutagawa remained silent whilst Atsushi narrowed his eyes at him as his attention shifted from the weretiger to the child crying on his arms. The ravenette heaved a sigh of defeat then neared the brunette, cleared his throat a little then muttered a low "I'm sorry."

"He didn't hear you. Say it again." Atsushi said.

"Tsk. I... I'm sorry, Fumiya." Akutagawa muttered, a little louder this time "I'm sorry, okay? Don't cry anymore. Come on." he added as his hands found their way to the small brunette's back. He felt Fumiya sniff back his sobs before the child peeked up at him with wide eyes wet and cheeks red from crying.

There was silence before Fumiya began holding out his hands towards the ravenette and Akutagawa, a little hesitant, took him in his arms. Fumiya began giggling then as he clapped his hands, Akutagawa only stared at him, a little wide-eyed before the side of his lips quirked up into a soft smile.

"Oh? I didn't know you could actually smile like that, Akutagawa." Atsushi teased, earning a slight blush from the older male.

"Shut up." Akutagawa muttered, his smile disappearing and Atsushi couldn't help but chuckle.

Chuuya and Dazai were currently in the mall buying some party decorations. Chuuya had instructed Dazai to search for some balloons and party hats, preferrably blue and red if he could, while the ginger searched for the things they needed for the parlor games. Two pairs of eyes were better than one, it would make things easier and faster, if only the other would be more cooperative instead of a nuisance.

"Hmm, hey, Dazai, do you think we should go with "Pin the Tail on the Dog", or should we go with something less... painful?" Chuuya asked and waited for his partner to answer but he got no response which made him wonder. He turned his attention to the brunette and found him looking through the variety of party balloons not far from where he was so he decided to call for the brunette in case he didn't hear him "Dazai! I was talking to you!" the older male hollered.

"Hey, Chuuya, do you prefer balloon with helium or nah?" Dazai then asked him.

"We can take both. I need to use some for a game." Chuuya answered, simply.

"Ooohhh, look, Chuuya~ this one's pretty stretchable. I think this will fit right in my dic-" Dazai was cut off by the ginger punching him right in the mouth and the brunette was on the floor with a loud crash, turning all eyes on them.

"Oh, well, what do you know? We can just use these tape for 'Pin the Tail'." Chuuya suddenly mentioned as he grabbed the sticker tape he found next to the balloons.

Back in the apartment, for playtime, Atsushi decided they play hide and seek which seemed to be Fumiya's favorite game as told by his mother. So in the small playroom of the apartment, the three began their game where Fumiya was it and the small brunette had to look for his babysitters. Atsushi had set the rules that no one should leave the room so it'll be easier for Fumiya.

The first one was pretty easy, Fumiya had found Atsushi under the bed while Akutagawa was inside the closet. As for the second round, Atsushi was the one to seek now since he was found first. He had counted to 30 before he decided to start searching--mostly to give Fumiya time to hide. He quickly found Akutagawa, of course, who decided to hide in the living room when Atsushi just mentioned they shouldn't be leaving the playroom.

"Well, since you were the one seeking, I thought it was only fair." Akutagawa said as an excuse while crossing his arms and nodding to himself, Atsushi only sighed before he began looking for Fumiya.

The two returned to the playroom and Akutagawa simply sat down on the floor whilst he watched the weretiger search the entire room for the small brunette, but to his surprise, he didn't find a trace of him "That's weird. He's not around." Atsushi then mentioned.

"Really? You checked the cabinets? The bed?" Akutagawa asked him and Atsushi responded with a nod "Well I didn't get to see him when I went to hide in the living room." the ravenette brought up.

"Maybe he did hide outside." Atsushi said then he left the room with Akutagawa by his tail and the two returned to the living room to look for Fumiya but, sadly, they found nothing. After that, they went to the kitchen and checked even the cabinets under the sink to see if he had gone inside them, but again, he wasn't there. Until their search had been interrupted by the sound of stuff falling, coming from the master's bedroom.

"What was that?" Atsushi asked, worry filled his tone.

"Maybe it was Fumiya." Akutagawa suggested. Atsushi immediately hurried to the master's bedroom and Akutagawa followed suite, both a little worried to what commotion Fumiya had caused inside for that huge sound to occur--had he fallen perhaps? What if he did? Chuuya would surely have their heads if anything were to happen to Fumiya.

Atsushi's hand shook a bit as he slowly opened the door of the bedroom and the two cautiously peeked inside, only to find a pile of clothes on the floor by the open cabinet and the small brunette that caused the mess was sitting on top of what seemed to be Dazai's beige coat, shirt and Chuuya's vest and blazer. He was putting on one of Chuuya's hats while the mafioso's coat was around the child's small shoulders.

"F-Fumiya?" Atsushi called out as he gently opened the door so he and Akuatagawa could come inside. Fumiya's attention shifted to the two males by the door then he began giggling as the hat on his head was too big, it was sideways and practically covering his right eye.

"Do you wanna play dress-up, then?" Atsushi asked, a bit cautiously and he could feel Akutagawa tense a bit behind him at the idea of dressing up as either Chuuya or Dazai.

"Pwetend! Pwetend!" Fumiya giggled, which was an indication that he wanted to play dress-up. Well, this should be fun.

Atsushi and Akutagawa both neared the pile and began grabbing some clothes. Fumiya was shoving Chuuya's clothes towards Atsushi and even pulled Dazai's coat out of the weretiger's hands to give it to Akutagawa--the two were amazed at how this kid could recognize his parents' clothes even for a first year old. So with no other choice, Atsushi had pulled on Chuuya's vest and blazer over his own shirt--it fit, surprisingly--whilst Akutagawa had Dazai's shirt and beige coat over his jacket--Atsushi had insisted he take the jacket off but Akutagawa snarled at him in refusal.

Now that they were dressed up, the hardest part of the game began; pretending to be the infamous Soukoku.

Meanwhile, the actual Soukoku were busy buying cake in the cake shop after they had finished buying the party decorations. Chuuya decided that a huge chocolate cake would be better and one of the salesmen showed him the variety of chocolate cakes they had.

"Hmm, should we go with cookies and cream or milk chocolate? What do you think, Dazai?" Chuuya decided to ask for help from the brunette but as he shifted his attention to him, Dazai was currently testing out a free taste tester for a brand new cake they were selling.

"This is delicious, Chuuya, come on try it." Dazai offered as Chuuya neared him.

"Mint Chocolate Cake, huh?" Chuuya read the label.

"Yeah, come on, ah~" Dazai sang as he offered a piece of cake to feed Chuuya with. Chuuya, almost as if involuntary, opened his mouth to eat the piece of cake being offered to him. The two hadn't even noticed how the salesman in front of them eyed the two as the brunette fed his significant other.

"Hmm, it's nice. Yeah." Chuuya nodded in agreement.

"Hey, next time, let's make cake together, Chuuya~" Dazai suddenly suggested, making the ginger look at him with a brow raised in confusion "Then afterwards, we could try using the leftover frosting as lube when--" another strong punch to the face, and the people around them winced in surprise as a loud crash filled the store with Dazai on the ground and Chuuya panting in anger above him.

"I apologize for that. We'll take one Mint Chocolate Cake, please. And I'll pay for the repair of your floor." Chuuya managed to calmly say to the salesman behind the counter. The man simply nodded and went to prepare the cake.

Atsushi slowly peeked from the couch he and Fumiya were hiding behind as groaning sounds--pretty pathetic excuse for painful groans to be exact--could be heard from inside the playroom "They must be having him hostage there. What do you want to do, Chuuya?" Atsushi asked the small brunette sitting beside him.

Fumiya pursed his lips as if he was thinking then began crawling towards the kitchen which was nearest to the playroom, Chuuya's coat on his back being dragged behind him as he did. Atsushi followed suite and peaked from the kitchen once again. Seconds later and Fumiya was crawling towards the playroom but before he could enter, the weretiger immediately stopped him and laid him on his lap.

"I don't think we should be barging in there all of a sudden." Atsushi suggested while Fumiya squirmed in his lap to try and get away from the mantiger.

"Inside. Inside." Fumiya began saying and once he was out of the silver-haired's arms, he crawled inside the room whilst Atsushi watched him. Only when he saw the spark of Rashoumon brought to life did he quickly moved to grab Fumiya and hide behind the dresser before Rashoumon could pierce into the child intruder.

"What the hell, Akutagawa?! You could've killed Fumiya!" Atsushi couldn't help but yell out at the ravenette who was laying behind the huge dog plushie in the farthest part of the room.

"Well you told me to use Rashoumon as the plushie's ability. And I did. Besides, it wasn't like I was aiming to actually hurt him." Akutagawa reasoned out, earning a sigh from the silver-haired boy.

"Save Datai!" Fumiya then hollered in Atsushi's face which indicated that their play pretend was still going on. So with a nod, Atsushi leapt out of their hiding place with Fumiya in his arms to face the giant dog plushie that had 'Dazai' hostage "Datai!" the small brunette yelled.

"This is so embarrassing." Akutagawa muttered then sparked his ability to life behind the dog plushy.

Fumiya began bouncing in Atsushi's grasp, struggling to get down on his own two feet "Oh, you want to stand, Fumiya?" the silver-haired asked.

Fumiya shook his head immediately "Mama! Mama!" he beamed at Atsushi, continuing to squirm against the weretiger's arms so Atsushi immediately placed him down on his feet.

"Oh right! Chuuya, I meant." Atsushi corrected himself. Akutagawa watched as Fumiya steadied himself on his own feet before he immediately attacked Atsushi, who was also watching the small brunette, with his ability. Caught with his guard down, Atsushi flew to the other side of the wall not far from the door, the action almost causing Fumiya to tumble and lose balance but he managed to steady himself.

"What on earth, Akutagawa?" Atsushi groaned as he massaged his head and sat up. He looked up at the ravenette and saw him shushing the weretiger and motioning him to watch Fumiya instead.

The younger male did as he was told and his attention shifted to Fumiya. The small brunette was standing in front of the huge plushy that had Rashoumon's black material surrounding him--he was surprised the child wasn't the least bit afraid at the sight of Akutagawa's ability, he was sure any child would've ran away just by seeing it. Seconds later, Fumiya began stomping his tiny foot on the ground and Rashoumon followed suite, the black material along with the plushy were immediately fixated on the floor like Fumiya had just controlled their gravity.

Atsushi's eyes widened in amusement as he saw Akutagawa had a smirk on his face; he never thought the older male would actually play along with this. After that, Fumiya pushed his hands in front of him and the plushy flew towards the wall, Rashoumon's black material disappeared behind Akutagawa and the dog plushy fell on the floor in defeat. Fumiya began giggling as he scurried over to free 'Dazai' from being tied up and Atsushi neared them.

"Well done, Chuuya. You saved me." Akutagawa smiled as he patted Fumiya on the head above his hat, the small brunette giggled before he went over and hugged the ravenette. Akutagawa's eyes widened a little before he hugged the child back.

While Akutagawa and Fumiya were having a moment, Atsushi heard the phone in the hallway ring so he immediately left the two and headed to the hallway to answer the call "Hello?" he said through the phone.

"Atsushi-kun? It's Chuuya, how are things going there?" Chuuya asked from the other line.

"Oh, everything's going great, Chuuya-san. How about you? Are you almost done shopping for the party needs?" Atsushi asked.

"Almost. All we just need is the catering service for the food. Dazai said he knows a place." Chuuya answered "How's Fumiya? He's not causing you any trouble, is he?" he then asked.

"Oh, no, he isn't. We just finished playing pretend, actually, he really enjoyed pretending to be you, Chuuya-san." Atsushi remarked making Chuuya hum with enthusiasm from the weretiger's statement.

"He did, huh? I would've loved to see that. Anyway, have you guys eaten yet? It's already past lunch time." Chuuya's question had Atsushi looking at the clock in the living room and he had noticed it was already almost 1 PM; they hadn't noticed cause they were busy playing.

"Oh no. It totally slipped my mind! We're just about to have lunch. I'm so sorry, Chuuya-san." Atsushi immediately apologized and he heard the ginger chuckle from the other line.

"It's okay, Atsushi-kun. Go on. Enjoy your lunch!" Chuuya told him and then Atsushi heard Dazai's voice from the other line, almost as if insisting Chuuya to try the food he was eating and he could hear Chuuya declining before the call ended. Atsushi chuckled as he placed the phone back down and walked back to the playroom to see Akutagawa playing peek-a-boo with Fumiya, to his surprise.

"Uh, it's time for lunch! What would you like, Akutagawa?" Atsushi then asked, interrupting the two.

Akutagawa turned his attention to the younger male and answered "Anything is good. I only eat to satisfy my hunger so I don't mind whatever you can make." before he returned to playing peek-a-boo with Fumiya.

"Okay then. I'll call you when I'm done." Atsushi told him and the ravenette only nodded in response. The weretiger first headed to the master's bedroom to take off Chuuya's blazer and vest before he headed towards the kitchen to prepare their lunch.

After their lunch, Chuuya and Dazai headed off to the catering place the brunette had offered to inquire for their son's birthday party. As soon as they entered the place, they were met with the familiar blonde man who was interrogating with the manager of the establishment.

"Kunikida-kun~ fancy seeing you here!" Dazai chimed which made Kunikida turn his attention to them and Chuuya caught his brow twitch before the man walked over to them and grabbed a fist full of the brunette's shirt.

"DAZAI! SO YOU SKIPPED WORK TODAY JUST SO YOU COULD GO ON A DATE WITH NAKAHARA CHUUYA?! YOU LITTLE..." Kunikida boomed with anger while practically choking Dazai to death. Dazai looked as if he was asking Chuuya for help but the ginger decided to ignore him and talk to Kunikida.

"You mean to say he had a job to do today when he told me he was available to go shopping for Fumiya's birthday tomorrow?" Chuuya asked, eyes narrowing at Dazai.

"Yeah. We were supposed to investigate a robbery around this area today. BUT APPARENTLY, THIS BASTARD DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP THIS MORNING!" Kunikida said then returned to choking Dazai 'til he practically turned blue. Only when Chuuya saw the brunette was almost out breath did he remove Kunikida's hold from him, telling the blonde to calm down.

"So you mentioned you were shopping for your son's birthday tomorrow. What brings you here then, Chuuya-san?" Kunikida then turned his attention to Chuuya after he left Dazai on the floor and gasping for air.

"Well we're looking for a catering service for the food tomorrow. Dazai suggested this place for some reason." Chuuya replied.

"Oh, good. The owner of this place is a close friend of the President and we usually ask for their help whenever we have a celebration at the Agency." Kunikida mentioned then he introduced the two with each other. Chuuya talked to the manager himself about the catering and luckily Kunikida was around so they were given a discount for the service.

Whilst the manager was writing the list of food to prepare for the birthday party tomorrow as Chuuya cited some requests, the ginger suddenly felt Dazai lean against him and a hand was somehow travelling from the back of his thighs upward, making Chuuya shiver. A hot breath was brought to his ear as he heard the taller man whisper "Hey, Chuuya. How's about tonight, I'll make you feel so good you'll forget all your stress for tomorrow as long as you call me 'Daddy'?"

Chuuya felt his cheeks burn in embarrassment before he turned around and a heavy fist was landed on Dazai's face for the third time this day. Kunikida, who was interrogating a man outside, turned his attention to the two after hearing a loud crash whilst the manager stared at Chuuya with wide, shocked eyes.

Chuuya cleared his throat and fixed his composure before turning his attention back to the manager "I'm sorry for the disturbance. Where were we?" the ginger apologized and the manager blinked and stuttered for a while before the two returned to discussing their plans for the catering.

Meanwhile, back at the apartment after Atsushi, Akutagawa and Fumiya had finished their lunch, Akutagawa and Fumiya headed to the living room after the small brunette wanted to watch 'Teletubbies' so while Atsushi washed the dishes, the ravenette was forced to watch the show with the kid. Akutagawa groaned before he obliged and carried Fumiya towards the living room.

Whilst Atsushi washed the dishes, he listened to the movements in the living room and giggled as he heard the Teletubbies show starting and Fumiya began singing along--even though all he could hear were a few baby sounds and the small brunette trying hard to get the tone correctly, it was still pretty adorable, he could imagine the child dancing along as well.

Minutes later, and suddenly, he could hardly hear much noises or movements from the living room besides the open TV and the Teletubbies show still playing. Curiosity filled him and he finished up cleaning the kitchen as fast as he could to check out what has happened to Akutagawa and Fumiya in the living room. Atsushi felt a little nervous at first, but the moment he entered the living room, his heart melted at what he saw; Akutagawa was asleep on the couch and Fumiya was lying on top of him, who was also asleep.

"My my, looks like these two were worn out after all that playing." Atsushi said to himself as he turned off the television. The silver-haired boy then headed to the bedroom to grab a blanket--"I'm sure Chuuya-san wouldn't mind."--then returned to the living room and gently covered the two in the blanket. He had known that Akutagawa doesn't move much in his sleep so it was safe for Fumiya to stay above him.

While the two were sound asleep on the couch, Atsushi decided to sit down on one of the one-seater couches and read a book, indulge himself in the peace and quietness of the afternoon. It was autumn now and winter was coming in so the season was pretty cool, but not too cold to the point of freezing. Although the apartment wasn't that far from the highway, there were barely any cars outside and with the apartment complex being on the 4th floor, the sound of the vehicles were pretty distant, you could hardly hear them.

After a moment, Atsushi was about to doze off himself so he set the book down, leaned into the headrest of the couch, closed his eyes and not long, he, too, was fast asleep.

A few minutes have passed before both Akutagawa and Atsushi were suddenly woken up by something being pinned harshly to the wall just outside the apartment. The two exchanged looks filled with curiosity and anxiousness as the sound of muffled groans and struggles could be heard next. Akutagawa carefully stood up with Fumiya still asleep in his arms and walked over to Atsushi to give the child to him as he whispered "I'll check it out, you stay here."

"Okay. Be careful." Atsushi whispered back to him, cradling Fumiya as the small brunette began squirming in his hold to calm him down and get him back to sleep.

Akutagawa carefully but quickly walked towards the door, pressing an ear against it to listen carefully to the noises coming from outside; the muffled groans were starting to sound like moans coming from a familiar voice he had heard plenty of times, usually when he caught them making out in the other's office. With a sigh, Akutagawa opened the door only to witness his superior pinned against the wall beside it while his ex-mentor was practically eating him up.

"A-Akutagawa! Oi, Dazai, get off of me, perverted bastard!" Chuuya snapped, trying his best to get away from Dazai's hold but the brunette only responded by biting his earlobe, causing the older male to whine.

Akutagawa stared at them for a moment before sighing "Seriously, it's like you two aren't parents already. If you're both still horny, check-in at a motel first or something before coming home. How can you do something so shameful with a kid present in your apartment?" the ravenette tsked before he slammed the door shut and locked it.

"O-Oi! Akutagawa! Wait! Open up!" Chuuya yelled, grabbing the doorknob and trying to open the door but it didn't budge. He'd take out his key from his pocket if he could, but his ex-partner was currently grinding himself against him so the option was not applicable.

"Well, you heard the lad. It'd be shameful if we came home with some unfinished business now, correct? Why don't we finish this off in the car, my love?" Dazai purred. Chuuya was about to retort but he was immediately yanked towards the elevator and Dazai was quickly devouring his mouth the moment they were inside.

"Was that Chuuya-san I heard? Where are they?" Atsushi asked Akutagawa once the raven boy had returned.

"They went to finish their business." Akutagawa simply said as he sat back down on the couch.

"Eh? So they forgot to buy something? Then why'd they suddenly come home?"

"Who knows." Akutagawa shrugged.

That night, Dazai had to carry an unconscious Chuuya home and they were met with the anxious reaction of Atsushi, asking what had happened to the ginger and the brunette simply answered that he was worn out from all their 'activities' that day. Akutagawa and Atsushi left the apartment not long after and while Chuuya slept peacefully inside the master's bedroom, Dazai took the opportunity to have a bubble bath with his son.

To be continued...

Hello, world!

Yaaayyyyyyy! Finally some new stuff here! Haha

sorry for the loooong wait for an update, finals had just finished and it's finally semestral break so I was busy since last, last week xD

I hope you enjoyed this chapter though! I'm not that much proud of it though lel and sorry if it's long again, I decided to not cut it into 2 parts like in chapter 8 cause... well, reasons xDDDDD

That's all! Byeeee!

Lots of luv,

Jullia
