“Yuji you a dummy, ha ha it’s mine noww!!” She said sticking her little tongue out. When Yuji realised what had happened he shrieked.

“I’LL CALL UNKUNAAA!! WAAAA HE IS BIG AND SCARY AND HE WILL..”

“What will I do?”

All three of them looked up at the visitor who crouched near the entrance to the playroom to pic up Yuji.

“UNKUNAAAA!!!” Yuji yelled and ran off into his uncle’s tight bear hug.

“How you doin’ tiger ready to go to your bestest uncle?” Their teacher approached Sukuna.

“Yuji behaved not so well to be honest mister Ryomen. He got into a couple of fights saying “his unkuna” taught him how to fight.. ” She said with her arms crossed, tapping her foot on the floor.

“Well.. ha ha about that…”

But that sentence would never be finished. In stormed a 6’5 giant of a man, swinging the door so hard it almost broke from the hinges. The teacher gasped as she stepped back and Sukuna shielded Yuji with his body. His raven hair stuck to his forehead, emerald eyes darting frantically across the room.

“MEGUMI!” He roared. Megumi froze as he saw his giant father cross the room in three wide steps and get to him in a second. He crouched in front of his son, a worrying expression written all over his face. Something was wrong. Very wrong.

“Megs, get up. Clothes, shoes on. NOW.” He said and Megumi listened right away packing his tiny dino bag. Toji was tapping his foot anxiously, starring at his watch.

“Done.” Megumi said, anxiety written all over him

“Papa, whats goin on? Is mama okay?”

“She is Megs, you gonna meet your baby sis soon, isn’t that exciting? Let’s go.”

But before the two of them could leave the playroom, Megumi’s teacher stepped in front of the door.

“MISTER FUSHIGURO, this is highly unacceptable you scared all the kids in here this is preposterous. Do not enter my classroom like that ever…”

Toji’s eyes darkened.

“Listen here lady,” He spat through gritted teeth, towering over her. His anger made him seem 3 times his size. His jaw was so clenched you could see veins going to his temples..

“My wife is currently giving birth to our daughter. I left her all alone, in pain so I could get my son to meet his baby sister. If I miss the birth of my daughter.. You will remember me.. Now move.”

Teacher’s eyes went wide with fear and she just slid out of the way letting Toji and Megumi pass.

While they were walking towards the car Megumi just couldn’t keep up with his father’s strides. Seeing this, Toji scooped him up into his arms and made a beeline for the car.

The ride to the hospital was excruciatingly quiet. Toji kept his eyes on the road, chewing on his scarred lip, knuckles white for how hard he was gripping the steering wheel. He just could not stop thinking about you. How your face contorted in pain when your next contraction came. How hard you were pushing your nails into his hand, making little crescent moons from your nails, so he could at least share the pain with you. If he could he would take all of that pain upon himself and bare it until the end of time if he needed to.. He just felt so helpless. When he heard you asking for Megumi he couldn’t just say no so he went to get him as fast as he could.

But also, he felt insanely excited. He will meet his baby daughter soon. His little princess. He already knew from the second you both found out it was a girl that he would spoil her rotten. And he knew Megumi would love her. He was so excited to have a baby sister.

The car came to a screeching halt and Toji jumped out, took Megumi out of his car seat and went straight into the hospital. The air smelled like metal and alcohol. The sterile white halls made him dizzy but he pushed on to your room. When he stood in front of the door he put Megumi down and crouched down to his level.

“Listen here Megs, now you’re gonna meet you baby sis okay? I will just get inside to see how mama is doing and I’ll come and get you right away okay? Stay here and do not move, okay buddy?”

“Yeah papa.”

He looked at Megumi for a little longer than usual. This was it. Their last moment as only father and son. He remembered how frantic he was when Megumi was born. How he was pacing down the hallway until they told him he could come in to hold your hand. How exhausted he was and how fulfilled at the same time. Oh how time flies. He remembers holding Megumi like he was made of glass, scared not to break this precious little thing he and you made out of your love. And now here he was again in that same position, just a little less scared because he knows he married a fighter, he knows that you won’t give up that easily - you married HIM for crying out loud.

He ruffled Megumi’s hair, kiss him on the forehead and went inside to see you.

When he locked his eyes with yours, his breath stopped. The whole world stopped. There you were, back rested on a big pillow, hair a mess with misty eyes, smiling at him as your daughter was nursing. You were glowing.

“Toji.. she’s perfect..” you said in a whisper.

He was starstruck. His legs moved on their own. He got next to your bed and his knees just gave out. He fell to his knees looking up at you and your daughter. Tears started running down his cheeks, and big droplets fell on his jeans leaving big dots as they got soaked into the fabric.

“I.. you.. She.. hic.. she’s perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” He said it over and over again like it was a mantra. His voice broke from sobs that escaped his throat.

“I will give you three the world.. hic.. I.. I.. promise you. I will pluck the stars from the sky if you ask me to. I will protect all three of you with my life. You are my life now, if there is no you there is no me. I.. love you, so much..” He said as he looked at your daughter. You got your hand in his raven locks scratching his head while you started crying as well.

“Get up Toji, come hold your daughter.” You said He got up from his knees as you handed him your daughter.

She was so tiny, smaller than Megumi was. He forgot how it felt to hold a newborn. He looked at her cooing face and started crying all over again.

“Papa’s little princess.. I will spoil you rotten just you wait..” he whispered, nudging her little nose with his. He kissed her all over her tiny face inhaling her sweet smell.

“Did you get Megumi honey?” You asked eager to see your son.

“Mmm yea he’s right outside” Toji said through a smile as your daughter cooed at him.

“I’ll get him you stay right there and rest mama you did a terrific job.” He said handing you back your daughter and kissing your hair and finally your lips. He walked outside to find Megumi sitting next to a wall right in front of the entrance of the room. He crouched down again as Megumi got up.

“Ready to meet your sis bud?”

“YESS!” His eyes were beaming with excitement.

The went into the room and he saw you sitting on the bed, with your daughter in your arms smiling.

"MOMMA! ARE YOU OKAY?!" Megumi said as he ran up to your bed.

“Hey honey! I'm fine baby boy, but there is someone who is eager to meet you.” You said as he got close to your bed.

“Meet your big brother Megumi, Tsuyo.” You said squishing her little cheeks. Megumi touched her black hair. Toji's genes were prominent as ever.

“Tsuyo.. What does that mean?” Megumi asked while staring at her.

“It means strength.” Toji chimed in crouching next to the bed.

“Since papa gave you your name, and it means blessing, I gave your little sister her name.” You said smiling.

"Hi Tsuyo, Im Megumi your big brother, but you can call me Megs like papa, or or even Gumi like momma you know!"

“You wanna hold her Megs?” Toji asked.

“Yeah!” Megumi said already climbing up on the high hospital bed. You put his swaddled little sister in his arms and he looked at her. Intently. The seconds felt like hours. There was no comment from Megumi except his furrowed brows.

.

.

“Mama, Papa, there is something wrong with her..” Megumi said in all seriousness. Both of your faces turned white instantly.

“What?? What is wrong with her Megs?” You both asked.

“She doesn’t have arms.” Megumi deadpaned staring at the swaddled baby in his tiny arms.

You both burst into laughter as Megumi continued to look at the baby all confused

 You were standing in the bathroom fixing the last few strands of your hair after curling it. The bathroom smelled like a mixture of vanilla and cinnamon - a combination of your body washes and lotions. You took a last look in the mirror before stepping out of the bathroom. Your silver dress hugged your body in all the right places, the makeup was perfect - a smoky eyeliner with some silver eyeshadow, you really outdid yourself this time. 

“Aha there it is! Just one moment girls let me go put this on real quick.” Yuki was the one you were waiting on - as always. Shoko stood in front of you twirling around to show you her blue dress which complemented her hair perfectly. 

“Do I look okay? Be honest.” 

“You look incredible as usual, Shoko, don't ask dumb questions.” you smiled. 

“Well come on girls what are we waiting for, the clubs won’t hit themselves! Let's go!” Yuki said, hugging you both. 

“ Wait Yuki I want a picture, we outdid ourselves tonight I want to remember this one!” Shoko pouted and pulled out her phone to take a quick selfie before heading out. All the pictures she took were incredible and after sending them to Yuki and you, you guys went out the door and into the night. 

The night was still relatively young when you entered the club. After standing in line and getting drinks all you wanted to do was dance. It was one of the only ways you could relax after a long week of stress and worry. Finals were right around the corner and after spending countless hours in the library and at home studying you just needed to move your body to the rhythm of the music and forget about it all for a couple of hours. The bass seemed to have swallowed you whole. You felt it pulsing throughout every part of your body. It was so freeing - dancing with your best friends, drinks in hand, without a care in the world. 

Suddenly, you feel a tap on your shoulder. 

“Hello there, pretty, wanna dance?” 

After hearing that voice in your ear you knew exactly who it was, you didn’t even have to turn around. The one guy your campus avoided whole-heartedly: Naoya. Zenin Naoya. The kind of man that would make your stomach flip, and not in a good way. You slithered away from  his touch and turned around. 

“Beat it Zenin, I'm not interested.”

“Thats a real shame, ain’t it?” 

“Such a pretty girl dancing all alone.” 

The sight of him made your blood boil. He was the sole reason why there were only three of you and not four. Your other best friend, Maki, had to move away to a different city thanks to the rumor her degenerate cousin Naoya started about her in your first year of university. She became the laughing stock of the whole campus and she just couldn’t take it any more. 

“I will not ask you twice. Move.” you said with venom in your eyes. 

“What is your problem brat?”

“Don’t tell me this is still about that dumb bitch?” 

“Watch it, Zenin.” 

He’s all up in your face now and you can see that glint of hate he has in his eyes when he talks to any woman. 

“I’m really glad she left you know,” he said, his hot breath tickling your face, “she should’ve done me a bigger favor and just k…” 

Your hand swung before you could think. You punched him square in the jaw as hard as you possibly could, a few cocktails you had aiding you at the right moment. He stumbled back, shocked.  

“OH YOU WHORE!” he screamed, holding his cheek. 

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER THING COMING FOR YOU, JUST YOU WAIT!” He went on as he ran out from the club pushing through the crowd gathered. You were seething from anger. Your hand hurt, the bass wasn’t as relaxing anymore and you started to get dizzy from all the adrenaline. At that moment you just wanted to get home. 

“Did you really hit Zenin in the face?!” Shoko said, flabbergasted. She took a look at your hand and determined it wasn’t anything serious enough for a trip to the hospital. 

“Sick!” “You really got him good girl, I'm proud of you.” Yuki said, hugging you. 

“Come on,” she yelled, “This round is on me!” 

“Yuki, can we just go home?”

“Oh, come on, we just got here girl!” Yuki whined as you started heading for the exit. You just couldn’t do it tonight, not after seeing Naoya and having all those memories flood your thoughts. The girls followed suit, understanding how hard it must’ve hit you. You and Maki were childhood friends - she was like a sister to you. And knowing how hard she had it before she left and not being able to do anything about it killed you every damn day. You wish it turned out differently. You know she is not happy where she is right now and the only thing you can do is offer a supportive phone call or a couple of funny tiktoks to at least brighten up her day a little bit. 

“Oh girls I have an idea!” Yuki said suddenly. 

“There is this burger joint Choso keeps mentioning.”

“He says it's very good, do you wanna grab a bite before going home, cuz im STARVING!” 

“It shouldn’t be far from here.” Yuki said absentmindedly while typing the address in her phone. You really could use some food right now after that whole fiasco. 

The burger joint was relatively close to the club, but given the fact that it was a friday night its safe to say that it was packed with people. After waiting a while to even place an order you find a place to sit. It was a small booth in the corner of the restaurant. There was only one small table next to yours. Even though it was occupied, the person wasn’t at the table. You were relieved because you didn’t need to look at other people, you could just relax in the company of your best friends. Yuki went to grab your food and you went to fill up the cups for soda. 

“It's just what I need after this shit show. ” you said to yourself as you got to the soda machine. You put the ice in and filled the cup up to the brim, to get your money’s worth. The whole situation was still playing in your head as you turned around - BAM! It felt as if you hit a wall. 

All three cups full of soda went flying, splashing the person in front of you. You wobbled but a hand caught you just in time. The hand was huge, calloused and intensely warm. You saw a spiked leather bracelet hugging the huge wrist making the veins pop even more. You looked up to apologise but you lost the ability to speak - towering over you was a 6 foot 4 giant. His shoulders were so broad, he could easily cage you in. A black leather jacket hung loosely around his frame. It was filled with various pins, drawings, badly written jokes and so many trinkets. In the front pocked you saw two sticks sticking out of it. 

“Drum sticks?” You thought to yourself

His shirt which stretched over his chest now due to the heap of soda you just spilled on him hugged him tightly. You could make out that it was some sort of a band tee but  you couldn’t make out any actual words - it was all just a heap of lines to you. But the most noticeable thing was his face - black tattoos ran over his jaw line, his eyebrows raised in surprise and his deep red eyes staring down at you. Ears full of silver piercings as well as his brow. Even though he was dressed from head to toe in black his messy pink hair stood out like a sore thumb.

The soda was now dripping on the floor from his shirt making a sticky mess. 

“Oh my God Im so sorry” you stuttered as you scrambled to grab a wad of tissues from the counter, “I didn’t see you Im so sorry oh my God.” 

“Don’t worry about it doll, I’ve had much worse things spill on me than soda.” He said with a chuckle. "I hope you never find out what beer and cotton candy do to a shirt, I couldn't get the smell and the stickyness out for weeks."

"Satoru still owes me for that fucking shirt." He mumbled underneath his breath.

As you pressed a wad of tissue paper on his shirt you could feel the rise and fall of his chest and the sheer power of the muscles under the soaked shirt. You immediately stopped moving and handed him the rest of the tissues while mumbling a string of apologies. 

“I told you not to worry about it, it’s fine really. Hey, do I know you from somewhere?”

“You seem oddly familiar, I just can’t place it.” He said while looking straight into your eyes. God those ruby eyes. It felt as if he could peek into your every thought with just one look. 

“You seem familiar too but I don’t… wait, do you take Medieval literature?” You said with a surprised voice because you swore you saw an alternative giant in your class. 

“Yes it’s one of my courses, why?”

“Thats my elective this semester.” 

“OHH RIGHT” he says placing you now, “You are that girl who sits in the back always clacking on her laptop.” He says with a grin. 

“Yeah.. that's me.” 

“Name’s Sukuna. Ryomen Sukuna.” 

“”Nice to meet you officially Sukuna I’m y/n” 

“Well y/n,” he says with a pause while looking down, “I guess this shirt won’t clean itself, gotta bounce but I’ll see you around.” He said while looking you up and down with a smirk. 

“Can this night end?” you whined as you slid in the booth red from embarrassment with your face in your hands. 

“Why? What happened?” Yuki asked while taking a fry. 

“I just knocked three full cups of soda at a smoking hot guy. AND I just found out we share a class.” 

“Who cares girl, you just start talking, crack a joke or too and you’re good to go” Yuki said while typing on her phone.

“Yuki is right, that's a great opener girl don’t worry about it, besides who cares it’s a shirt.” Shoko said absentmindedly, nibbling on a fry.

“Yeah but I just got more lost in the apologies as it went on. It was so embarrassing. And it also didn’t help that I practically soaked his shirt.” You said but the sound came out muffled from your hands still covering your face, red from embarrassment. 

You heard some rustling next to you but you didn’t care at this point you just wanted to go home. Someone chuckled. 

“Hell yeah you soaked my shirt!” 

“And smoking hot too huh? Thanks!” 

You heard the voice and immediately froze. Shoko and Yuki turned their heads to the only table next to you and it was him. Sukuna picking up his trash from the table. His big hands were quite fast and meticulous while collecting what seemed to be trash left from a feast of four.

“I’ll see you around y/n, and don’t cover your face, it's too pretty for that.” He winked at you and left. 

“Oh girl you’re in..” Yuki said with a smirk. 

“Just shut up Yuki..”

You followed soon. After getting home and removing your makeup and changing into your sleep clothes you said good night to the girls and laid in bed. Wide awake. You couldn’t stop thinking about that hand, his hair, his look and demeanor. But most importantly you just couldn’t stop thinking about those eyes. 

“You will be the death of me, Ryomen Sukuna..” You mumbled as sleep finally washed over you.

As the coffee machine spurted out the last bit of your espresso, you heard heavy shuffling down the hall. You got your coffee and inhaled the delicious aroma. It felt as if it had already pulled the sleep right out of you. You took a sip and looked over the rim of your cup when you saw him. Your husband. His raven black hair was flying everywhere around his head, disheveled from tossing and turning in his sleep.

The gray sweats hung low on his hips, showing his defined v-line and abdomen. Of course he slept shirtless - he said it was because he “gets too hot during the night” but you know how much he likes your light touches across his chest as you lay in bed talking as you are about to fall asleep, even though he would never admit it.

“Good morning, love! Howd’ya sleep? Good? What do you want for breakfast? Coffee? It just finished brewing!” You said as a wide smile flashed across your features.

“Mmhh” was the only response Toji could muster, still half asleep while standing. You took a few steps across the kitchen to get to him, coffee cup still in hand. You stood on his feet, rubbing his hair back so you can see his mesmerizing emerald eyes. His hands flew to your waist, steadying you so you can balance on his feet. His skin still smelled of your sheets and it felt so warm.

“Honey, you still haven’t told me what you want for breakfast. I was thinking maybe eggs, some sausages, tomatoes maybe, hmm I’ll have to check the fridge for ingredients. Gumi would probably want pancakes though so I don’t know whether to just make them or..” Your rant got cut off by a warm squeeze to your waist. You looked up and saw his emerald eyes looking down at you, still full of sleep.

“Mmhh, how are you this chirpy in the morning, dove? I can barely hold my eyes open.” A low grumble came from his chest, his voice a couple of octaves deeper. He took the coffee cup out of your hand and put it on the counter so you don’t spill it. You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him down so you could kiss him, but he wouldn’t budge. You stood on your tippy toes and still couldn’t quite reach his lips.

“Little help here big guy, cooperate.” You grunted as he looked at you with amusement.

“But you are so cute when you struggle like that. Indulge me.” He said, grinning. As you were about to give up, he suddenly lifted you up so you could reach his lips. He kissed you with a newfound passion. Your talk at the theme park made you connect on a different level, so your mornings were filled with so many kisses and touches it was as if you just started dating. You fell in love with him all over again and the same could be said for him. He looked at you with such adoration it was borderline insane.

“A coffee would be nice, love, thanks” he said as he sat down on one of the chairs in the kitchen. You poured coffee into his “best dad” mug that Megumi got him on one of his field trips. After a few sips his eyes started to open and it looked as if he had just gained consciousness. As you talked about your plans for the day, a tiny yawn broke through the conversation.

“Good mornin’..” Megumi said, still dressed in his blue dinosaur pajamas , holding his dog plushie Toji won for him. His little feet dragged across the hardwood floor and he climbed up in your lap.

“Mama, whats for brekfas, Im sooooo hungry.” Megumi mumbled while rubbing his eyes.

“Well what do you want honey?”

“PANCAKES!!” Megumi yelled throwing his arms up in the air.

Toji snickered at his reaction.

“Megs you can’t eat pancakes all the time, c’mon man choose something else. Besides there ain’t nearly enough protein in just pancakes alone, how are you gonna build muscles like daddy?” Toji asked as he placed his chin on his fist to gauge at Megumi’s reaction.

“But I already have muscles like daddy look!” He squealed as he flexed both of his little arms. Tiny biceps popped up as Megumi grinned. Seeing that, Toji flexes his own arms, biceps bulging from the squeeze.

“HEY NO FAIR DADDY IS OLDER!!” Megumi scrunched his eyebrows and crossed his arms.

“Okay, okay, both of you are very strong boys, but mama needs to make some breakfast so if you’ll excuse me..” You said as you stood up and opened the fridge. And what welcomed you was the white light, ketchup, 1 egg and a wilted lettuce. When did it get this bad? It felt as if you just went to the store yesterday.

“TOJI WHERE ARE THE EGGS? AND ALL THE MEAT?”

“Well baby, this body” he said as he pointed towards his chest and abs that were on full display, “needs fuel. So I might have eaten it all.. Sorry..” He said as he scratched the back of his head. You sighed, rubbing your temples.

“Well I guess the first thing on our agenda for the day is the farmer’s market.”

“YAAAY SHOPPING!!”

.

.

.

.

All three of you arrived promptly at the farmer’s market. Grocery shopping was one of your favourite activities. You found it so therapeutic, strolling around looking at all the produce, talking with the vendors it was all so fun.

The same couldn’t be said for Toji. He HATED the crowds, not because he was an introvert but because of his sheer size. He would constantly bump into people, apologise to them and follow you around like a lost puppy because he could never remember where things were. It was a disaster.

But he also never complained. He understood how hard it was to feed a grown man with the appetite of a wild animal and a growing toddler. The only thing he loved about it was the fact that he could help you carry the bags. He would not allow you to lift a finger. All you had to carry were the flowers he paid for, obviously. He would stand there hands and shoulders full of bags, while you picked a new bouquet for the week. It was your little ritual.

“Alright you guys, we need to stock our fridge because SOMEONE raided it, so I need all hands on deck. Got it?” You said as you turned around to face your husband and son, shopping list in hand and a face full of determination.

“Yes ma’m!” Both of them said at the same time.

“Alright, let's start with the fruits and veg.” You turned around and started walking. Toji put Megumi on his shoulders and started following you, holding a couple of totes for all of the shopping you were about to do.

You stood in front of the vendor making small talk and picking up apples when Toji stepped aside and lifted his head to look at Megumi.

“Look Megs, now I will teach you one of the most important qualities as a man. We need to help mama pick some apples.” He said as he put Megumi down. “Just watch.”

Toji slid nonchalantly to your side and looked at the apples. They all looked the same to him, but he picked up one he thought you would like and handed it to you for inspection. You took the apple without looking at him and tossed and turned it in your hand. You placed it in the bag.

Score.

He gave you the next one, feeling a bit more confident. You did the same with the next one, but it didn’t make the cut. One more. Just one more. He looked hard and gave you the best one he found. His heart thumped in anticipation as you inspected it. You put it in the bag. His fist flew in the air, victorious.

“And THAT Megs, is how you pick apples!” He said with a smug grin on his face.

“What?” You asked as you paid and turned around.

“Nothin’ Im just talking with Megs, don't worry your pretty head, just shop.” He said putting Megumi on his shoulders again.

“That was so cool papa, teach me.”

“Those are years of experience, son, that can’t be taught.” Toji said while he closed his eyes, wanting to sound wise.

After fruit and veg the next thing on the list were the eggs. This was a very hard task indeed. Toji was insatiable when it came to eggs. He could go through a dozen in two days. They were his main sustenance apart from meat and some veg. As you came up to the little lady who sold you eggs way before you and Toji even met.

“Hello Y/N how are you sweetheart?”

“I’m very well, how are you?”

“Well, same old same old, ah and who are you young gentleman?" The woman crouched down to Megumi’s height.

“My name is Megumi, grandma, nice to meet you!” Megumi said as Toji ruffled his hair. Megumi’s cheeks coloured crimson.

“Papa don’t.. embarrass me!” Megumi huffed

“Okay little man take it easy.” Toji said, laughing.

“It’s very nice to meet you Megumi. My name is Martha. The usual amount, dear?” The old lady said, smiling at Megumi.

“I’ll take two dozen more than the usual amount, these two eat them like crazy.” You snickered.

“Alright then one moment please.” The lady went to the back to grab some more eggs.

“Mama I’m hungry, how much longerrrrrr..” Megumi whined.

“Not much baby, be patient.”

The old lady came back with your typical order of eggs and you paid. As you were putting the eggs in the bags the old lady called megumi over.

“Can I show you a magic trick my dear?”

“YES!”

The old lady put her hand behind her back and after she opened it in front of Megumi a candy appeared.

“For you dear.” She said with a grin that lifted her wrinkled features.

“HOW DID YOU DO THAT GRANDMA?” Megumi asked, totally shocked. His eyes were like dark blue orbs trying to understand how did the old lady pull off that trick.

“Magic.” She said winking.

“Megs, come on we gotta go!” Toji yelled, ushering Megumi to go.

“Th-thank you grandma, byee!”

After buying the rest of your list you were getting ready to leave. You were going over the list once again and the thought came to you at the speed of light.

“Toji, honey.. we forgot the chillies.. for lunch tomorrow..” You hit yourself on the forehead.

“Don’t worry dove, let's go.” He said and led the way. His broad frame was covered with tote bags galore as carried the bulk of today’s shopping. The veins in his forearms bulging from the weight but he never made a sound. Sometimes you admired the sheer strength of this man.

You arrived to the booth where a bigger gentleman with a thick mustache welcomed you.

“What a lovely family, hello welcome, I have the spiciest chilies in town! Would the beautiful young lady like to try?”

Toji furrowed his dark brows.

“I’ll be the judge of that.” Toji said as he puffed his chest out. If you knew one thing that was the fact that your husband HATED spicy food, he could not stand it, you on the other hand enjoyed it quite a bit.

“Of course young man, here you go!” The man took a chilli pepper out of the pile and gave it to Toji.

“Mama, is papa gonna eat that?” Megumi asked, puzzled.

“I think so sweetie.” You said as you looked at Toji equally perplexed as you looked at your husband. Toji took the pepper in his hand and bit off a good chunk. Your eyebrows flew up in shock. He crunched the pepper with all his might and quickly swallowed it. You could see the visible redness creeping up his neck and face but he remained creepishly calm.

“You call this spicy old man? Did you give me a bell pepper? What is this?” Toji asked, pointing at the chilli.

“What?! Don’t ruin my business youngster, let me see, it is impossible!” The man flew into a rage and bit off even more of the pepper. His face turned neon red and he started jumping around looking for water.

“YOU TRICKED ME YOUNG MAN! TRICKED ME WITH MY OWN CHILLIES!” The man yelped as he guzzled down water like a mad man.

“Im joking man, give us a couple they are insanely spicy.” Toji said while coughing. His eyes watered like crazy as he paid.

“Easy there big guy lets get you some water. Why did you do that? You hate spicy food.” You asked him as he guzzled down water.

“The bastard was too cocky” He said, taking a breath and winking at you, still guzzling up water. .

.

.

You arrived home and jumped straight into cooking mode as your two helpers prepared the batter for the pancakes.

“I WANT CHOCOLATE CHIPS MAMA PLEEEEEASE!! Megumi yelled.

“I want blueberries little man you need to back off.” Toji said in all seriousness “Besides, my wife loves me more and she will make me blueberry pancakes, right honey?”

“MAMA PAPA’S BULLYING MEE!!!!” Megumi wailed.

“Toji.. stop it he’s a kid.”

“He’s a kid and I want my blueberry pancakes.” Toji deadpaned.

“Oh my God.. here!” You said as you took out two bowls and divided the batter. You put chocolate chips in one and blueberries in the other.

“There, happy?” You asked smiling at their silliness.

“YES!” They both exclaimed. They kissed both of your cheeks at the same time while you went back to baking the pancakes, filling the air with the delicious aroma of Saturday breakfast.

“You look incredible as usual, Shoko, don't ask dumb questions.” you smiled. 

“Well come on girls what are we waiting for, the clubs won’t hit themselves! Let's go!” Yuki said, hugging you both. 

“ Wait Yuki I want a picture, we outdid ourselves tonight I want to remember this one!” Shoko pouted and pulled out her phone to take a quick selfie before heading out. All the pictures she took were incredible and after sending them to Yuki and you, you guys went out the door and into the night. 

The night was still relatively young when you entered the club. After standing in line and getting drinks all you wanted to do was dance. It was one of the only ways you could relax after a long week of stress and worry. Finals were right around the corner and after spending countless hours in the library and at home studying you just needed to move your body to the rhythm of the music and forget about it all for a couple of hours. The bass seemed to have swallowed you whole. You felt it pulsing throughout every part of your body. It was so freeing - dancing with your best friends, drinks in hand, without a care in the world. 

Suddenly, you feel a tap on your shoulder. 

“Hello there, pretty, wanna dance?” 

After hearing that voice in your ear you knew exactly who it was, you didn’t even have to turn around. The one guy your campus avoided whole-heartedly: Naoya. Zenin Naoya. The kind of man that would make your stomach flip, and not in a good way. You slithered away from  his touch and turned around. 

“Beat it Zenin, I'm not interested.”

“Thats a real shame, ain’t it?” 

“Such a pretty girl dancing all alone.” 

The sight of him made your blood boil. He was the sole reason why there were only three of you and not four. Your other best friend, Maki, had to move away to a different city thanks to the rumor her degenerate cousin Naoya started about her in your first year of university. She became the laughing stock of the whole campus and she just couldn’t take it any more. 

“I will not ask you twice. Move.” you said with venom in your eyes. 

“What is your problem brat?”

“Don’t tell me this is still about that dumb bitch?” 

“Watch it, Zenin.” 

He’s all up in your face now and you can see that glint of hate he has in his eyes when he talks to any woman. 

“I’m really glad she left you know,” he said, his hot breath tickling your face, “she should’ve done me a bigger favor and just k…” 

Your hand swung before you could think. You punched him square in the jaw as hard as you possibly could, a few cocktails you had aiding you at the right moment. He stumbled back, shocked.  

“OH YOU WHORE!” he screamed, holding his cheek. 

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER THING COMING FOR YOU, JUST YOU WAIT!” He went on as he ran out from the club pushing through the crowd gathered. You were seething from anger. Your hand hurt, the bass wasn’t as relaxing anymore and you started to get dizzy from all the adrenaline. At that moment you just wanted to get home. 

“Did you really hit Zenin in the face?!” Shoko said, flabbergasted. She took a look at your hand and determined it wasn’t anything serious enough for a trip to the hospital. 

“Sick!” “You really got him good girl, I'm proud of you.” Yuki said, hugging you. 

“Come on,” she yelled, “This round is on me!” 

“Yuki, can we just go home?”

“Oh, come on, we just got here girl!” Yuki whined as you started heading for the exit. You just couldn’t do it tonight, not after seeing Naoya and having all those memories flood your thoughts. The girls followed suit, understanding how hard it must’ve hit you. You and Maki were childhood friends - she was like a sister to you. And knowing how hard she had it before she left and not being able to do anything about it killed you every damn day. You wish it turned out differently. You know she is not happy where she is right now and the only thing you can do is offer a supportive phone call or a couple of funny tiktoks to at least brighten up her day a little bit. 

“Oh girls I have an idea!” Yuki said suddenly. 

“There is this burger joint Choso keeps mentioning.”

“He says it's very good, do you wanna grab a bite before going home, cuz im STARVING!” 

“It shouldn’t be far from here.” Yuki said absentmindedly while typing the address in her phone. You really could use some food right now after that whole fiasco. 

The burger joint was relatively close to the club, but given the fact that it was a friday night its safe to say that it was packed with people. After waiting a while to even place an order you find a place to sit. It was a small booth in the corner of the restaurant. There was only one small table next to yours. Even though it was occupied, the person wasn’t at the table. You were relieved because you didn’t need to look at other people, you could just relax in the company of your best friends. Yuki went to grab your food and you went to fill up the cups for soda. 

“It's just what I need after this shit show. ” you said to yourself as you got to the soda machine. You put the ice in and filled the cup up to the brim, to get your money’s worth. The whole situation was still playing in your head as you turned around - BAM! It felt as if you hit a wall. 

All three cups full of soda went flying, splashing the person in front of you. You wobbled but a hand caught you just in time. The hand was huge, calloused and intensely warm. You saw a spiked leather bracelet hugging the huge wrist making the veins pop even more. You looked up to apologise but you lost the ability to speak - towering over you was a 6 foot 4 giant. His shoulders were so broad, he could easily cage you in. A black leather jacket hung loosely around his frame. It was filled with various pins, drawings, badly written jokes and so many trinkets. In the front pocked you saw two sticks sticking out of it. 

“Drum sticks?” You thought to yourself

His shirt which stretched over his chest now due to the heap of soda you just spilled on him hugged him tightly. You could make out that it was some sort of a band tee but  you couldn’t make out any actual words - it was all just a heap of lines to you. But the most noticeable thing was his face - black tattoos ran over his jaw line, his eyebrows raised in surprise and his deep red eyes staring down at you. Ears full of silver piercings as well as his brow. Even though he was dressed from head to toe in black his messy pink hair stood out like a sore thumb.

The soda was now dripping on the floor from his shirt making a sticky mess. 

“Oh my God Im so sorry” you stuttered as you scrambled to grab a wad of tissues from the counter, “I didn’t see you Im so sorry oh my God.” 

“Don’t worry about it doll, I’ve had much worse things spill on me than soda.” He said with a chuckle. "I hope you never find out what beer and cotton candy do to a shirt, I couldn't get the smell and the stickyness out for weeks."

"Satoru still owes me for that fucking shirt." He mumbled underneath his breath.

As you pressed a wad of tissue paper on his shirt you could feel the rise and fall of his chest and the sheer power of the muscles under the soaked shirt. You immediately stopped moving and handed him the rest of the tissues while mumbling a string of apologies. 

“I told you not to worry about it, it’s fine really. Hey, do I know you from somewhere?”

“You seem oddly familiar, I just can’t place it.” He said while looking straight into your eyes. God those ruby eyes. It felt as if he could peek into your every thought with just one look. 

“You seem familiar too but I don’t… wait, do you take Medieval literature?” You said with a surprised voice because you swore you saw an alternative giant in your class. 

“Yes it’s one of my courses, why?”

“Thats my elective this semester.” 

“OHH RIGHT” he says placing you now, “You are that girl who sits in the back always clacking on her laptop.” He says with a grin. 

“Yeah.. that's me.” 

“Name’s Sukuna. Ryomen Sukuna.” 

“”Nice to meet you officially Sukuna I’m y/n” 

“Well y/n,” he says with a pause while looking down, “I guess this shirt won’t clean itself, gotta bounce but I’ll see you around.” He said while looking you up and down with a smirk. 

“Can this night end?” you whined as you slid in the booth red from embarrassment with your face in your hands. 

“Why? What happened?” Yuki asked while taking a fry. 

“I just knocked three full cups of soda at a smoking hot guy. AND I just found out we share a class.” 

“Who cares girl, you just start talking, crack a joke or too and you’re good to go” Yuki said while typing on her phone.

“Yuki is right, that's a great opener girl don’t worry about it, besides who cares it’s a shirt.” Shoko said absentmindedly, nibbling on a fry.

“Yeah but I just got more lost in the apologies as it went on. It was so embarrassing. And it also didn’t help that I practically soaked his shirt.” You said but the sound came out muffled from your hands still covering your face, red from embarrassment. 

You heard some rustling next to you but you didn’t care at this point you just wanted to go home. Someone chuckled. 

“Hell yeah you soaked my shirt!” 

“And smoking hot too huh? Thanks!” 

You heard the voice and immediately froze. Shoko and Yuki turned their heads to the only table next to you and it was him. Sukuna picking up his trash from the table. His big hands were quite fast and meticulous while collecting what seemed to be trash left from a feast of four.

“I’ll see you around y/n, and don’t cover your face, it's too pretty for that.” He winked at you and left. 

“Oh girl you’re in..” Yuki said with a smirk. 

“Just shut up Yuki..”

You followed soon. After getting home and removing your makeup and changing into your sleep clothes you said good night to the girls and laid in bed. Wide awake. You couldn’t stop thinking about that hand, his hair, his look and demeanor. But most importantly you just couldn’t stop thinking about those eyes. 

“You will be the death of me, Ryomen Sukuna..” You mumbled as sleep finally washed over you.

The day started like any other. Open eyes, kiss wife, cuddle with wife, get out of bed, bathroom, kiss wife, coffee, eat, tickle the kid. It was that simple for Toji. And what interrupted that serene routine he built over the years was one phone call - Satoru. His friend from college (more like a frat brother, but that’s a story for another time.) As Toji was sipping his coffee while watching you make breakfast with Megumi, his phone screen lit up.

“Ugh Gojo” Toji rolled his eyes, but still picked up his phone.

“Yooo what’s up Ji, how is married life treating you, wife doin’ well? How’s the kid?” Satoru spoke with his usual excitement.

“Everything’s fine man, what could you possibly need at 9AM Gojo?” Toji huffed over the phone.

“No “How are you, my very best friend from college?” You really stooped low Fushiguro, you hurt my feelings!” Gojo fake whined over the phone.

“Cut the bullshit Gojo..”

“HEY!” You yelled while covering Megumi’s ears.

“Language!”

Toji covered his phone and mouthed “Sorry dove”

“Cut it Gojo. what do you want?” Toji growled in his phone.

“Weeeeell, you know Suguru is opening that shelter he was talking about, and he asked me to organise the opening ceremony. So here I am calling my best friend to come and support our friend in need!” Toji could hear Gojo’s shit-eating grin through the phone.

“I don’t think I can make it Satoru, sorry, I promised Megs we would go to the park, our boys day you know.”

“But there will be puppieees..” Gojo said it loudly on purpose.

“PUPPIES?! WHERE?!” Toji’s eyes went wide and he held his breath.

That bastard. Satoru always did this to him.

Megumi whipped his head to look at his dad who covered his face with his large hand. He knew where this was going.

“I’ll call you back, asshole” he gritted out the sentence in a whisper.

“See you there daddy!!” Gojo said and hung up.

“CAN WE GO SEE PUPPIES?!” Megumi was already at Toji’s side, tugging at his hand.

“PUPPIES??” You said as your lower lip jutted forward in a pout.

“Yeah, Suguru is opening an animal shelter downtown, so he called us to attend the opening. But if you want to go the park, it’s okay Megs we are still on!” Toji tried to steer away from the dreaded puppies, but to no avail.

“I WANNA GO SEE EM PLEASE PAPA!!!!” Megumi yelled while jumping up and down.

“Ughh I really wish I could join you guys but I gotta go to the office..” You said shoulders slumping forward. “Do send me pictures baby don’t forget! I wanna see the pups too!” You said as you got up to leave. Toji and Megumi stood up to say bye to you.

“Byee mama we will send you every puppy we see don’t worry!” Megumi said, putting his little fists on his hips, acting all high and mighty.

“Yeah don’t worry dove, we will.” Toji said as he hooked his massive forearms and hands around your waist, pulling you close to his bear-like frame. His kiss made you wanna stay home even more. His soft lips on yours, his scent and warmth, it was intoxicating. But work called. You had to wiggle out of the kiss and jump in the car.

“BYEE MOMMA!! SEE YOU SOON!!” Megumi jumped up and down waving.

And so Toji and Megumi were on their way to the shelter. When they arrived to the building Satoru was waiting in front.

“Well, well, well if it isn’t the Fushiguros. Where is the missus? Does she hate me as much as her douche husband” Gojo said, elbowing Toji in the ribs.

“Momma is at job!” Megumi said trying to peek inside the shelter.

“Mister snow hair are there really puppies in here?”

“Yes there are Megumiiii, he is so cute I wanna eat him alive!” Gojo said licking his teeth.

“Noo don’t eat me snowy meanie, papa save me!” Megumi ran to hide behind Toji.

“Cut the crap Satoru, where is Geto? Let’s get inside.”

“YAAAY PUPPIES!!”

As the three guys entered the building the overwhelming sound of animals flooded their ears. Dogs, cats, bunnies, birds galore. Megumi’s eyes lit up at the sight. He immediately made a beeline for the puppy section at the front.

“Megs wait..” Toji said but to no avail. Megumi immediately went inside the puppy area and sat down. He looked around and his tiny breath suddenly stopped. Two puppies were laying on top of eachother. One white and one black.

They looked like little wolves but with a bit more fluff to them. As soon as Megumi spotted them they lifted their heads and stared at him. They stood on their tiny paws and strode over to little Megumi. Their giant orbs looked at Megumi and he just fell in love. It was really a love at first sight. The two puppies laid their heads on Megumi’s legs and he pet their fluffy little heads.

“Oh thats a first.” A calm quiet voice came from somewhere next to Megumi. It was Suguru who was crouching next to Megumi..

“They are so fluffy and small mister!” Megumi said, beaming with excitement.

“That’s Shiro” Suguru said pointing to the white puppy, “And that’s Kuro”, pointing to the black one.

“They usually keep to themselves, you must be special Megumi.” Suguru said patting Megumi on the hair.

“Megs, there you are, what are you.. Oh no God..” Toji said as he looked into his son’s eyes. He knew that look.

Megumi was smitten.

“Suguru I told you not to show him any dogs for crying out loud.”

“They chose him I can’t make them not to come to someone, besides, look at them, aren’t they the cutest?” Suguru said as he scratched the puppies’ chins and their tiny tails wagged in Megumi’s lap.

“Yes Geto, but we don’t have space for two dogs..”

“Papa…” Megumi said seriously and looked up at Toji who was standing outside the pen.

“Megs, no..” Toji started..

“CAN WE GET THEM PLEASE I PROMISE I’LL BE GOOD I’LL DO ANYTHING YOU AND MOMMA TELL ME PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!” Megumi begged.

“Megumi, we don’t have enough space for two dogs, besides, we need to ask mama first. ” Toji tried to reason with his son.

“BUT MOMMA ALSO LIKES PUPPIES LIKE ME PLEASE PAPA PLEEEAAAAASEEEEE!!!!” Megumi started whining. This was a bad idea from the get go. Toji knew this would happen.

“Megs come on we gotta go home mama will be home soon, come on.” Toji lowered and grabbed Megumi. The puppies protested by whimpering. And Megumi protested by doing the only logical thing he could do. Crying at full volume. Toji took Megumi over his shoulder and Megumi screamed at the puppies trying to hold on to them as Toji carried him effortlessly.

“Well thanks alot Gojo, see what you did.” Toji spat, while Megumi wailed.

“Sorry Ji but don’t worry he’s just a kid he’ll forget about them soon!” Gojo said while scratching the back of his white hair.

And so there they were. Driving back home while Megumi was crying.

“B-BUT DID YOU SEE HOW FLUFFY THEY WERE PAPA? HIC - AND.. AND THAT MISTER SAID THEY FINK I’M SPECIAL!!” Megumi went on.

“Megumi, listen to me baby, we don’t have enough space in our house. Plus, they are puppies, the will grow a lot bigger when they get older. They need food and training and a lot of walks.”

“But I can walk them! They are small We can go to school together. And and Yuji has a dog, and Nobara too! I’m the ONLY ONE WITHOUT A PET TO LOVEEE WAAAAAA” The screaming started again. Toji was pissed off at Gojo. What the hell was that idiot thinking inviting them to a shelter opening KNOWING how much Megumi loves animals. When they got home you were already home cooking dinner.

“You guys! How was the shelter did you take any..”

“MOMMA CAN WE GET PUPPIES PLEASE???”

“Puppies? Which puppies baby? Toji? What is going on? Why is Megs crying??”

“THERE WERE THESE TWO PUPPIES BLACK AND WHITE AND.. AND THE MISTER WITH LONG HAIR SAID THEY FINK I’M SPECIAL AND THEY WERE SO SOF AND FLUFFY AND THEY SLEPT ON MY LEGS PLEASE CAN WE GET THEM PLEASE????”

“Okay okay champ, easy there, let’s eat dinner first.” Toji said as he sat in the kitchen.

After you all ate and put Megumi to bed you went to your room where Toji sat on the edge of the bed. He never did that, so something was truly bothering him. You sat beside him and grabbed his hand.

“What is it darling, whats bothering you?” you asked gently.

“I don’t know what to do dove. You did not see how Megs cried in the car today. I was devastated, he was crying so sad. But we can’t have two dogs in the house,it’s too much work.” He said as he ran his hands over his face.

“Toji, honey, listen to me. I think we both know the answer to that question. Two dogs are a lot of responsibility.”

“Yeah.. you’re right..” Toji said as he went to lie down. You cuddled up to him and he kissed your hair.

“Goodnight dove.” Toji said against your head.

“Goodnight baby..” you murmured, falling into a deep sleep.

.

.

.

.

“Gmornin momma..” Megumi said as he got in the kitchen, ready for his usual breakfast and chocolate milk.

“Where’s papa?”

“Oh papa went out to grab something, he will be back in no time.” You said as you stirred the eggs in the cast-iron skillet. Megumi sat in the chair and looked his cartoons on the TV when the doorbell rang.

“Who could that be?” You asked, confused. “Wanna help me look who it is Gumi?”

“Yeah momma!” Megumi said, still feeling sad about yesterday. As you guys went to the door and opened it you saw a giant box with a big bow on top.

“Whats this?” You said as you looked at Megumi’s eyes getting bigger by the second. “You wanna open it Megs?”

“Yeah..” He said and walked up to the box. When he touched the lid, he heard tiny noises, like whimpers? He lifted the lid and saw them. Shiro and Kuro. In the flesh. Megumi screeched.

“SURPRISE!!” Toji came from his hiding spot. He took the box inside the house and carefully took the puppies out. They immediately ran to Megumi, jumping on his legs and barking with excitement.

“SHIRO, KURO!!! PAPA WHAT? HOW ARE THEY HERE??” Megumi was beaming as he sat down to pet them while they licked his face. A slew of giggles came out of Megumi’s throat.

“Well mama and me figured it would teach you responsibility. We will talk about training and walks but they are yours Megs!” Toji said grinning.

“Thank you papa, thank you momma! This is the best day EVEER!!” Megumi said through giggles while basking in the morning sunlight which came through the kitchen window peting his new fluffy friends.

a/n: tysm for reading see you soon!

“Yuji you a dummy, ha ha it’s mine noww!!” She said sticking her little tongue out. When Yuji realised what had happened he shrieked.

“I’LL CALL UNKUNAAA!! WAAAA HE IS BIG AND SCARY AND HE WILL..”

“What will I do?”

All three of them looked up at the visitor who crouched near the entrance to the playroom to pic up Yuji.

“UNKUNAAAA!!!” Yuji yelled and ran off into his uncle’s tight bear hug.

“How you doin’ tiger ready to go to your bestest uncle?” Their teacher approached Sukuna.

“Yuji behaved not so well to be honest mister Ryomen. He got into a couple of fights saying “his unkuna” taught him how to fight.. ” She said with her arms crossed, tapping her foot on the floor.

“Well.. ha ha about that…”

But that sentence would never be finished. In stormed a 6’5 giant of a man, swinging the door so hard it almost broke from the hinges. The teacher gasped as she stepped back and Sukuna shielded Yuji with his body. His raven hair stuck to his forehead, emerald eyes darting frantically across the room.

“MEGUMI!” He roared. Megumi froze as he saw his giant father cross the room in three wide steps and get to him in a second. He crouched in front of his son, a worrying expression written all over his face. Something was wrong. Very wrong.

“Megs, get up. Clothes, shoes on. NOW.” He said and Megumi listened right away packing his tiny dino bag. Toji was tapping his foot anxiously, starring at his watch.

“Done.” Megumi said, anxiety written all over him

“Papa, whats goin on? Is mama okay?”

“She is Megs, you gonna meet your baby sis soon, isn’t that exciting? Let’s go.”

But before the two of them could leave the playroom, Megumi’s teacher stepped in front of the door.

“MISTER FUSHIGURO, this is highly unacceptable you scared all the kids in here this is preposterous. Do not enter my classroom like that ever…”

Toji’s eyes darkened.

“Listen here lady,” He spat through gritted teeth, towering over her. His anger made him seem 3 times his size. His jaw was so clenched you could see veins going to his temples..

“My wife is currently giving birth to our daughter. I left her all alone, in pain so I could get my son to meet his baby sister. If I miss the birth of my daughter.. You will remember me.. Now move.”

Teacher’s eyes went wide with fear and she just slid out of the way letting Toji and Megumi pass.

While they were walking towards the car Megumi just couldn’t keep up with his father’s strides. Seeing this, Toji scooped him up into his arms and made a beeline for the car.

The ride to the hospital was excruciatingly quiet. Toji kept his eyes on the road, chewing on his scarred lip, knuckles white for how hard he was gripping the steering wheel. He just could not stop thinking about you. How your face contorted in pain when your next contraction came. How hard you were pushing your nails into his hand, making little crescent moons from your nails, so he could at least share the pain with you. If he could he would take all of that pain upon himself and bare it until the end of time if he needed to.. He just felt so helpless. When he heard you asking for Megumi he couldn’t just say no so he went to get him as fast as he could.

But also, he felt insanely excited. He will meet his baby daughter soon. His little princess. He already knew from the second you both found out it was a girl that he would spoil her rotten. And he knew Megumi would love her. He was so excited to have a baby sister.

The car came to a screeching halt and Toji jumped out, took Megumi out of his car seat and went straight into the hospital. The air smelled like metal and alcohol. The sterile white halls made him dizzy but he pushed on to your room. When he stood in front of the door he put Megumi down and crouched down to his level.

“Listen here Megs, now you’re gonna meet you baby sis okay? I will just get inside to see how mama is doing and I’ll come and get you right away okay? Stay here and do not move, okay buddy?”

“Yeah papa.”

He looked at Megumi for a little longer than usual. This was it. Their last moment as only father and son. He remembered how frantic he was when Megumi was born. How he was pacing down the hallway until they told him he could come in to hold your hand. How exhausted he was and how fulfilled at the same time. Oh how time flies. He remembers holding Megumi like he was made of glass, scared not to break this precious little thing he and you made out of your love. And now here he was again in that same position, just a little less scared because he knows he married a fighter, he knows that you won’t give up that easily - you married HIM for crying out loud.

He ruffled Megumi’s hair, kiss him on the forehead and went inside to see you.

When he locked his eyes with yours, his breath stopped. The whole world stopped. There you were, back rested on a big pillow, hair a mess with misty eyes, smiling at him as your daughter was nursing. You were glowing.

“Toji.. she’s perfect..” you said in a whisper.

He was starstruck. His legs moved on their own. He got next to your bed and his knees just gave out. He fell to his knees looking up at you and your daughter. Tears started running down his cheeks, and big droplets fell on his jeans leaving big dots as they got soaked into the fabric.

“I.. you.. She.. hic.. she’s perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” He said it over and over again like it was a mantra. His voice broke from sobs that escaped his throat.

“I will give you three the world.. hic.. I.. I.. promise you. I will pluck the stars from the sky if you ask me to. I will protect all three of you with my life. You are my life now, if there is no you there is no me. I.. love you, so much..” He said as he looked at your daughter. You got your hand in his raven locks scratching his head while you started crying as well.

“Get up Toji, come hold your daughter.” You said He got up from his knees as you handed him your daughter.

She was so tiny, smaller than Megumi was. He forgot how it felt to hold a newborn. He looked at her cooing face and started crying all over again.

“Papa’s little princess.. I will spoil you rotten just you wait..” he whispered, nudging her little nose with his. He kissed her all over her tiny face inhaling her sweet smell.

“Did you get Megumi honey?” You asked eager to see your son.

“Mmm yea he’s right outside” Toji said through a smile as your daughter cooed at him.

“I’ll get him you stay right there and rest mama you did a terrific job.” He said handing you back your daughter and kissing your hair and finally your lips. He walked outside to find Megumi sitting next to a wall right in front of the entrance of the room. He crouched down again as Megumi got up.

“Ready to meet your sis bud?”

“YESS!” His eyes were beaming with excitement.

The went into the room and he saw you sitting on the bed, with your daughter in your arms smiling.

"MOMMA! ARE YOU OKAY?!" Megumi said as he ran up to your bed.

“Hey honey! I'm fine baby boy, but there is someone who is eager to meet you.” You said as he got close to your bed.

“Meet your big brother Megumi, Tsuyo.” You said squishing her little cheeks. Megumi touched her black hair. Toji's genes were prominent as ever.

“Tsuyo.. What does that mean?” Megumi asked while staring at her.

“It means strength.” Toji chimed in crouching next to the bed.

“Since papa gave you your name, and it means blessing, I gave your little sister her name.” You said smiling.

"Hi Tsuyo, Im Megumi your big brother, but you can call me Megs like papa, or or even Gumi like momma you know!"

“You wanna hold her Megs?” Toji asked.

“Yeah!” Megumi said already climbing up on the high hospital bed. You put his swaddled little sister in his arms and he looked at her. Intently. The seconds felt like hours. There was no comment from Megumi except his furrowed brows.

.

.

“Mama, Papa, there is something wrong with her..” Megumi said in all seriousness. Both of your faces turned white instantly.

“What?? What is wrong with her Megs?” You both asked.

“She doesn’t have arms.” Megumi deadpaned staring at the swaddled baby in his tiny arms.

You both burst into laughter as Megumi continued to look at the baby all confused

As the coffee machine spurted out the last bit of your espresso, you heard heavy shuffling down the hall. You got your coffee and inhaled the delicious aroma. It felt as if it had already pulled the sleep right out of you. You took a sip and looked over the rim of your cup when you saw him. Your husband. His raven black hair was flying everywhere around his head, disheveled from tossing and turning in his sleep.

The gray sweats hung low on his hips, showing his defined v-line and abdomen. Of course he slept shirtless - he said it was because he “gets too hot during the night” but you know how much he likes your light touches across his chest as you lay in bed talking as you are about to fall asleep, even though he would never admit it.

“Good morning, love! Howd’ya sleep? Good? What do you want for breakfast? Coffee? It just finished brewing!” You said as a wide smile flashed across your features.

“Mmhh” was the only response Toji could muster, still half asleep while standing. You took a few steps across the kitchen to get to him, coffee cup still in hand. You stood on his feet, rubbing his hair back so you can see his mesmerizing emerald eyes. His hands flew to your waist, steadying you so you can balance on his feet. His skin still smelled of your sheets and it felt so warm.

“Honey, you still haven’t told me what you want for breakfast. I was thinking maybe eggs, some sausages, tomatoes maybe, hmm I’ll have to check the fridge for ingredients. Gumi would probably want pancakes though so I don’t know whether to just make them or..” Your rant got cut off by a warm squeeze to your waist. You looked up and saw his emerald eyes looking down at you, still full of sleep.

“Mmhh, how are you this chirpy in the morning, dove? I can barely hold my eyes open.” A low grumble came from his chest, his voice a couple of octaves deeper. He took the coffee cup out of your hand and put it on the counter so you don’t spill it. You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him down so you could kiss him, but he wouldn’t budge. You stood on your tippy toes and still couldn’t quite reach his lips.

“Little help here big guy, cooperate.” You grunted as he looked at you with amusement.

“But you are so cute when you struggle like that. Indulge me.” He said, grinning. As you were about to give up, he suddenly lifted you up so you could reach his lips. He kissed you with a newfound passion. Your talk at the theme park made you connect on a different level, so your mornings were filled with so many kisses and touches it was as if you just started dating. You fell in love with him all over again and the same could be said for him. He looked at you with such adoration it was borderline insane.

“A coffee would be nice, love, thanks” he said as he sat down on one of the chairs in the kitchen. You poured coffee into his “best dad” mug that Megumi got him on one of his field trips. After a few sips his eyes started to open and it looked as if he had just gained consciousness. As you talked about your plans for the day, a tiny yawn broke through the conversation.

“Good mornin’..” Megumi said, still dressed in his blue dinosaur pajamas , holding his dog plushie Toji won for him. His little feet dragged across the hardwood floor and he climbed up in your lap.

“Mama, whats for brekfas, Im sooooo hungry.” Megumi mumbled while rubbing his eyes.

“Well what do you want honey?”

“PANCAKES!!” Megumi yelled throwing his arms up in the air.

Toji snickered at his reaction.

“Megs you can’t eat pancakes all the time, c’mon man choose something else. Besides there ain’t nearly enough protein in just pancakes alone, how are you gonna build muscles like daddy?” Toji asked as he placed his chin on his fist to gauge at Megumi’s reaction.

“But I already have muscles like daddy look!” He squealed as he flexed both of his little arms. Tiny biceps popped up as Megumi grinned. Seeing that, Toji flexes his own arms, biceps bulging from the squeeze.

“HEY NO FAIR DADDY IS OLDER!!” Megumi scrunched his eyebrows and crossed his arms.

“Okay, okay, both of you are very strong boys, but mama needs to make some breakfast so if you’ll excuse me..” You said as you stood up and opened the fridge. And what welcomed you was the white light, ketchup, 1 egg and a wilted lettuce. When did it get this bad? It felt as if you just went to the store yesterday.

“TOJI WHERE ARE THE EGGS? AND ALL THE MEAT?”

“Well baby, this body” he said as he pointed towards his chest and abs that were on full display, “needs fuel. So I might have eaten it all.. Sorry..” He said as he scratched the back of his head. You sighed, rubbing your temples.

“Well I guess the first thing on our agenda for the day is the farmer’s market.”

“YAAAY SHOPPING!!”

.

.

.

.

All three of you arrived promptly at the farmer’s market. Grocery shopping was one of your favourite activities. You found it so therapeutic, strolling around looking at all the produce, talking with the vendors it was all so fun.

The same couldn’t be said for Toji. He HATED the crowds, not because he was an introvert but because of his sheer size. He would constantly bump into people, apologise to them and follow you around like a lost puppy because he could never remember where things were. It was a disaster.

But he also never complained. He understood how hard it was to feed a grown man with the appetite of a wild animal and a growing toddler. The only thing he loved about it was the fact that he could help you carry the bags. He would not allow you to lift a finger. All you had to carry were the flowers he paid for, obviously. He would stand there hands and shoulders full of bags, while you picked a new bouquet for the week. It was your little ritual.

“Alright you guys, we need to stock our fridge because SOMEONE raided it, so I need all hands on deck. Got it?” You said as you turned around to face your husband and son, shopping list in hand and a face full of determination.

“Yes ma’m!” Both of them said at the same time.

“Alright, let's start with the fruits and veg.” You turned around and started walking. Toji put Megumi on his shoulders and started following you, holding a couple of totes for all of the shopping you were about to do.

You stood in front of the vendor making small talk and picking up apples when Toji stepped aside and lifted his head to look at Megumi.

“Look Megs, now I will teach you one of the most important qualities as a man. We need to help mama pick some apples.” He said as he put Megumi down. “Just watch.”

Toji slid nonchalantly to your side and looked at the apples. They all looked the same to him, but he picked up one he thought you would like and handed it to you for inspection. You took the apple without looking at him and tossed and turned it in your hand. You placed it in the bag.

Score.

He gave you the next one, feeling a bit more confident. You did the same with the next one, but it didn’t make the cut. One more. Just one more. He looked hard and gave you the best one he found. His heart thumped in anticipation as you inspected it. You put it in the bag. His fist flew in the air, victorious.

“And THAT Megs, is how you pick apples!” He said with a smug grin on his face.

“What?” You asked as you paid and turned around.

“Nothin’ Im just talking with Megs, don't worry your pretty head, just shop.” He said putting Megumi on his shoulders again.

“That was so cool papa, teach me.”

“Those are years of experience, son, that can’t be taught.” Toji said while he closed his eyes, wanting to sound wise.

After fruit and veg the next thing on the list were the eggs. This was a very hard task indeed. Toji was insatiable when it came to eggs. He could go through a dozen in two days. They were his main sustenance apart from meat and some veg. As you came up to the little lady who sold you eggs way before you and Toji even met.

“Hello Y/N how are you sweetheart?”

“I’m very well, how are you?”

“Well, same old same old, ah and who are you young gentleman?" The woman crouched down to Megumi’s height.

“My name is Megumi, grandma, nice to meet you!” Megumi said as Toji ruffled his hair. Megumi’s cheeks coloured crimson.

“Papa don’t.. embarrass me!” Megumi huffed

“Okay little man take it easy.” Toji said, laughing.

“It’s very nice to meet you Megumi. My name is Martha. The usual amount, dear?” The old lady said, smiling at Megumi.

“I’ll take two dozen more than the usual amount, these two eat them like crazy.” You snickered.

“Alright then one moment please.” The lady went to the back to grab some more eggs.

“Mama I’m hungry, how much longerrrrrr..” Megumi whined.

“Not much baby, be patient.”

The old lady came back with your typical order of eggs and you paid. As you were putting the eggs in the bags the old lady called megumi over.

“Can I show you a magic trick my dear?”

“YES!”

The old lady put her hand behind her back and after she opened it in front of Megumi a candy appeared.

“For you dear.” She said with a grin that lifted her wrinkled features.

“HOW DID YOU DO THAT GRANDMA?” Megumi asked, totally shocked. His eyes were like dark blue orbs trying to understand how did the old lady pull off that trick.

“Magic.” She said winking.

“Megs, come on we gotta go!” Toji yelled, ushering Megumi to go.

“Th-thank you grandma, byee!”

After buying the rest of your list you were getting ready to leave. You were going over the list once again and the thought came to you at the speed of light.

“Toji, honey.. we forgot the chillies.. for lunch tomorrow..” You hit yourself on the forehead.

“Don’t worry dove, let's go.” He said and led the way. His broad frame was covered with tote bags galore as carried the bulk of today’s shopping. The veins in his forearms bulging from the weight but he never made a sound. Sometimes you admired the sheer strength of this man.

You arrived to the booth where a bigger gentleman with a thick mustache welcomed you.

“What a lovely family, hello welcome, I have the spiciest chilies in town! Would the beautiful young lady like to try?”

Toji furrowed his dark brows.

“I’ll be the judge of that.” Toji said as he puffed his chest out. If you knew one thing that was the fact that your husband HATED spicy food, he could not stand it, you on the other hand enjoyed it quite a bit.

“Of course young man, here you go!” The man took a chilli pepper out of the pile and gave it to Toji.

“Mama, is papa gonna eat that?” Megumi asked, puzzled.

“I think so sweetie.” You said as you looked at Toji equally perplexed as you looked at your husband. Toji took the pepper in his hand and bit off a good chunk. Your eyebrows flew up in shock. He crunched the pepper with all his might and quickly swallowed it. You could see the visible redness creeping up his neck and face but he remained creepishly calm.

“You call this spicy old man? Did you give me a bell pepper? What is this?” Toji asked, pointing at the chilli.

“What?! Don’t ruin my business youngster, let me see, it is impossible!” The man flew into a rage and bit off even more of the pepper. His face turned neon red and he started jumping around looking for water.

“YOU TRICKED ME YOUNG MAN! TRICKED ME WITH MY OWN CHILLIES!” The man yelped as he guzzled down water like a mad man.

“Im joking man, give us a couple they are insanely spicy.” Toji said while coughing. His eyes watered like crazy as he paid.

“Easy there big guy lets get you some water. Why did you do that? You hate spicy food.” You asked him as he guzzled down water.

“The bastard was too cocky” He said, taking a breath and winking at you, still guzzling up water. .

.

.

You arrived home and jumped straight into cooking mode as your two helpers prepared the batter for the pancakes.

“I WANT CHOCOLATE CHIPS MAMA PLEEEEEASE!! Megumi yelled.

“I want blueberries little man you need to back off.” Toji said in all seriousness “Besides, my wife loves me more and she will make me blueberry pancakes, right honey?”

“MAMA PAPA’S BULLYING MEE!!!!” Megumi wailed.

“Toji.. stop it he’s a kid.”

“He’s a kid and I want my blueberry pancakes.” Toji deadpaned.

“Oh my God.. here!” You said as you took out two bowls and divided the batter. You put chocolate chips in one and blueberries in the other.

“There, happy?” You asked smiling at their silliness.

“YES!” They both exclaimed. They kissed both of your cheeks at the same time while you went back to baking the pancakes, filling the air with the delicious aroma of Saturday breakfast.

Despite this, the aura around him still felt cautious. It was as if he was driving the most precious treasure he’d ever found. He was just mesmerising to watch. All of his movements flowed like water and there was not a single moment of hesitation in his actions. You could see his calm breath rising and lowering his chest that was squished by the strap of the seatbelt.

“You see something you like, ma?”

He said in a husky voice, not once taking his eyes of the road. His observation skills were sometimes borderline creepy.

“I’m just watching one incredibly handsome guy drive, nothing to worry about dear!” You chirped as your cheeks flushed red at the realisation you’ve been caught staring at your husband.

You turned your head to face the window. The buildings were rapidly changing colours. As you looked out the window you nestled into the seat, the light hum of the engine and the fresh air mixed with your husband’s cologne was making you insanely sleepy. You closed your eyes, humming with relaxation..

“ARE WE THERE YET?!”

A yell made you jump from your sleepy state. Toji snickered and bit his cheek, trying not to laugh at your jump.There was another person in the car - albeit a little person. Your son,Megumi, was vibrating with excitement. His spiky black hair looked even more spiky, probably due to his energy being at an all time high. His eyes glimmered with the familiar sparkle of childish elation. He was sitting in his carseat in the back, looking out the windows.

“No Megs, not yet little man, I’ll tell you when we’re close.” Toji said while looking in the rearview mirror.

“Well how long until we are there papa? We’ve been drivin foreeeeeeeever..” Megumi whined. You turned around in your seat so you could face Megumi.

“We have about 20 minutes baby. Let’s play a game to pass the time. What do you wanna play?”

“I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE!!” Megumi yelled.

“Ok then, I spy with my little eye it is. You go first sweetheart.” You say, playfully tickling Megumi’s leg.

“I spyy with my little eyeee… somfin black.” Megumi giggled into his hands.

“Something black you say.. Hmmm.. Is it the car in front of us?”

“Noo hihihihi, you will never guess mama, better give up now!”

Toji snickered. His trash-talking lesions were paying off. All of this was just really amusing to him, even though he almost never participated in these car games. He always had the excuse that he was driving and wouldn’t be able to concentrate.

“Is it… that building over there?” You guessed, pointing at the large skyscraper that stood a couple of feet away from the car as you waited for the light to turn green. Toji’s fingers were drumming on the steering wheel while looking absentmindedly out the window trying to find something black that Megumi saw.

It was his own little game - how fast he could find the thing Megumi saw before you did. He would always say your observation skill weren’t the sharpest.

“Noo mama it’s not, try again, hihi!” Megumi was giggling more and more now. He also found this too amusing. None of the things in your surroundings were black. Apart from the seats and the dashboard.

“Is it the seats dear?” You asked, already a bit flustered that a five-year-old kid is beating you at an observation game.

“Noo, try again!” Toji started driving again as the light turned green. Now even he was stumped. There was nothing black in sight, appart from the car’s interior which wasn’t it. All the other colours were there, the only missing one was black. He couldn’t risk showing his interest in this particular game but his emerald eyes darted furiously trying to find that something black.

“I give up baby, what is it?” You sighed with defeat. Toji was also really invested now, looking at Megumi through the rearview mirror.

“What is it Megs? Even Im interested to know.”

“IT’S PAPA’S HAIR!” Megumi screached with excitement and flew into a hysterical giggle. You looked up at your husband’s hair, the raven locks covering his eyebrows, and both of you started laughing hysterically, partially at how innocent the answer was and partially because the answer was right under your nose - or perhaps above it.

The car came to a halt. Toji parked it and killed the engine. He turned around now to face Megumi.

“Listen Megs, we’re here.” Megumi frantically turned from one window to another looking around with mouth agape.

“Hey, little man, eyes on me.”Toji pointed with his index and middle finger to his emerald eyes. “When we step outside now, no running off under ANY circumstances. You are to stay next to mama and I all the time, understood? ” Toji said with a degree of sternness in his voice. By his tone alone, you and also Megumi realised he wasn’t kidding.

“Understood, Papa, no runnin off !” He said while dangling and kicking his feet from his carseat, eager to just get outside.

“We can go to every ride you want, appart from the big rolercosters, those are for big children.”

“BUT I AM A BIG KID!” Megumi yelled, pouting and crossing his arms across his tiny chest.

“Megumi, honey, listen to dad, okay.” You said as you unbuckled your seat belt.

As you went to open your door, it already flew open. Toji was standing in front of you holding the door with one hand while his other hand was held out to help you get out of the car. You blushed, taking his hand while his scared lip flickered up into a smile. As you got out of the car, Toji yanked you forward, making you stumble into his hard chest. One arm sneaked around your waist while the other grabbed your chin, thumb resting on your lower lip.

“Hello, beautiful..” His voice was velvet against your ear. “This ride was excruciating to say the least mama, you were eye-fucking me the whole time in there.” He whispered in your ear. You felt his hot, mint breath fan over your ear and face.

“I was not!” You said, trying to sound nonchalant.

“Yeah right…” Toji snickered, while pulling you in a deep kiss. Your breath hitched as his tongue found yours.

As you kissed, both of you quickly realised that you had a tiny little gremlin in the backseat waiting to be released. Toji opened Megumi’s door and unbuckled him. As soon as Megumi heard the click of the unbuckled seatbelt, he slithered out of the carseat and got out of the car. He stood next to you offering his little hand which you took and together with Toji you headed for the incredibly brightly lit Theme Park.

Inside, you felt like you stepped inside of a different world. The bright, colourful lights bounced off of every surface imaginable, the screams of people and children riding the rolercosters echoed through the air. Conversations and giggles while waiting around in line for food or rides was deafening. There were food stands galore and their aroma was swirling through the air, which was the thing Toji was excited about the most. Megumi’s eyes looked like giant orbs, trying to take everything in. You could see the lights reflecting off his big doll-like eyes as he was frantically looking around. Toji looked at him and laughed, ruffling his hair and squating down so he could say sometining to Megumi.

“Where do you want to go little man, you lead the way.” Toji winked. Megumi stood there, amazed. He pointed at the bumper cars almost immediately.

“I wanna go there, Yuji said it’s super fun, he told me he went with his dad!”

“Alright then, bumper cars it is.” Toji said while Megumi ran off without him.

“Hey! Megumi stop” Toji yelled as he ran towards your son, being caught off guard by his son’s speed. You giggled and went to the bumper car arena.

“I’ll sit this one out guys.” You said while taking a seat at the benches next to the arena.

“Whyyy mama I want you heree!”

“Well baby, papa is a way better driver than I am, besides, there are only two seats in the cart so we wouldn’t fit.” You said to Megumi while Toji went to buy the coins.

When he returned he and Megumi went to one of the cars and sat down buckling in for protection. You pulled out your phone to record when you heard the buzzer signaling the beginning of the ride.

“Be careful!” You yelled as you saw Toji going pedal to the metal in that little car. He had a mischievous smirk plastered on his face when he turned to Megumi.

“Wanna show them who’s the boss Megs? ”

“YEAHHHH PAPA LETS GOOOO!!” Megumi screamed at the top of his lungs as Toji went beserk on the little arena. You knew he liked driving fast, but this was no place for that. But regardless of that Toji went flying around the arena bumping every single car in sight. He was laughing with Megumi and every single hit threathened to spill the giant man ouut of the small car. As the ride ended they both stepped out of the car and ran up to you.

“MAMA DID YOU SEE THAT? WE WERE FLYING!!” Megumi said radiating with energy.

“I did baby, your dad really went off huh?” You said eyeing Toji with a cautious look.

“Oh come on babe, it was just a bit of harmless fun don’t worry your pretty little head, we’re fine.” He said, teasing you.

Since everyone was hungry you went to eat at one of the stalls. The aroma of fried carnival foods was mouthwatering, and after eating everything you wanted, the three of you walked around to “burn some of the calories off”. While you were walking Megumi spotted a stand with various stuffed toys and he decided in that moment that he needed one immediately. Toji looked at him and knew what he had to do. The vendor handed him the water gun to try and knock over 5 targets for a prize. After much struggle, since these kind of games were always rigged, Toji won Megumi a black and white puppy with a wierd red mark on his forehead.

Megumi jumped up and down when he got his toy and as Toji looked down at you he saw you eyeing a pretty little black bear from the same booth. The glint in your eyes made his heart flutter. A smile sneaked up his lips and he felt all fuzzy and warm inside. Seeing you look at Megumi’s toy while petting his spiky hair and smiling made it worth all the money and frustration. He needed to win that bear.

“Another round.” He said, sliding the money towards the vendor.

“Ohh this one is for the missus, I see, well good luck my friend!” The vendor mocked.

Toji aimed at the targets and with scary precision he won the first round. The vendor’s mouth opened in shock.

“Well congratulations, my friend. This is a first. Which one do you want?”

“The black bear there.” Toji said pointing up at the prize. When he gave it to you, you looked at it a while and then placed it besides his head.

“He kinda looks like you, you know! I’m gonna name him Ji.”

“Yeah papa he does kinda look like you!!” Megumi giggled.

“You little..” Toji said while pulling both Megumi and you in a giant bear hug.

The night was nice and cool and after being exhausted from running around the whole day, you decided that the last ride of the thay was the Ferris wheel. It was calm and you really enjoyed the view of the city. As all three of you sat down in the little pod, the ride begun and you started climbing up. You looked out the window in awe. The city skyline was beautiful. You thought of all the people down there and inside the buildings, how small they were.

As you turned to ask Toji to take a photo, you realised his face was but an inch from yours. His big emerald eyes burning into yours. The intensity of his gaze made you blush and look down. His index finger found your chin and he slowly lifted it up so you had no choice but to look at him.

“You know,” he whispered, “These kinda days make me realise something.”

“What?” You whispered, barely audible. The only thing you could hear was the thumping of your heart in your ears.

“They make me realise that its all worth it. Every sigh, every hard day at work when Shiu is busting my balls, every late night. It’s all worth it. You and Megs make it all worth while. I never would have thought that I would like going to theme parks and playing rigged games to win a stupid plushie. But I would play every single goddamn game at this theme park just to see you and this little man smile like that. You both are my world and I would go to the ends of this Earth for both of you, don’t you ever forget that. I love you Y/N..”

He said with a smile on his lips while nudging his nose against yours. The tears welled up in you eyes instantaneously.

“Toji..” was all you could say before he placed his lips against yours. As he kissed you, you felt a shuffle in between you. You looked down and saw Megumi curled up in a little ball, his breath even as he slept, totally and utterly spent from the whole day of fun.

Toji and you snickered quietly as you placed a kiss on top of Megumi’s head. Toji placed his arm around you and your head found itself on his shoulders, gazing into the night sky.

.

.

.

The car ride home was quiet. The low hum of the engine lulled Megumi into sleep even more as his head drooped in his seat. You looked out the window as Toji’s hand sneaked up and rested itself on your thigh. Yo looked at him, and he shot you that amused smirk you love, but still, his eyes went back to the road. The neighbourhood started getting familiar and before you knew you were in front of your building. Toji killed the engine and once again helped you get out of the car. He went to Megumi’s side and opened the door, slowly unbuckled him and got him in his arms.

It was really strange seeing a man as big as Toji being so gentle. He brought Megumi upstairs to your apartment and unlocked it. Heeling his shoes off he went straight for the couch with Megumi still in his arms. As you went to the kitchen to brew a cup of tea, you saw him sprawl out on the couch like he owned it.

“Which one do you want dear?” You asked. No answer.

“Dear..? Toji?” You asked again, and as you turned around to look at the couch you saw both your husband and son dead asleep on the couch. You snickered quietly, and as you approached them, you brushed Megumi’s hair out of his forehead, placing a kiss. You did the same to Toji.

“I love you guys..” You said as you squeezed yourself into Toji’s arms drifting off to sweet sleep.

The day started like any other. Open eyes, kiss wife, cuddle with wife, get out of bed, bathroom, kiss wife, coffee, eat, tickle the kid. It was that simple for Toji. And what interrupted that serene routine he built over the years was one phone call - Satoru. His friend from college (more like a frat brother, but that’s a story for another time.) As Toji was sipping his coffee while watching you make breakfast with Megumi, his phone screen lit up.

“Ugh Gojo” Toji rolled his eyes, but still picked up his phone.

“Yooo what’s up Ji, how is married life treating you, wife doin’ well? How’s the kid?” Satoru spoke with his usual excitement.

“Everything’s fine man, what could you possibly need at 9AM Gojo?” Toji huffed over the phone.

“No “How are you, my very best friend from college?” You really stooped low Fushiguro, you hurt my feelings!” Gojo fake whined over the phone.

“Cut the bullshit Gojo..”

“HEY!” You yelled while covering Megumi’s ears.

“Language!”

Toji covered his phone and mouthed “Sorry dove”

“Cut it Gojo. what do you want?” Toji growled in his phone.

“Weeeeell, you know Suguru is opening that shelter he was talking about, and he asked me to organise the opening ceremony. So here I am calling my best friend to come and support our friend in need!” Toji could hear Gojo’s shit-eating grin through the phone.

“I don’t think I can make it Satoru, sorry, I promised Megs we would go to the park, our boys day you know.”

“But there will be puppieees..” Gojo said it loudly on purpose.

“PUPPIES?! WHERE?!” Toji’s eyes went wide and he held his breath.

That bastard. Satoru always did this to him.

Megumi whipped his head to look at his dad who covered his face with his large hand. He knew where this was going.

“I’ll call you back, asshole” he gritted out the sentence in a whisper.

“See you there daddy!!” Gojo said and hung up.

“CAN WE GO SEE PUPPIES?!” Megumi was already at Toji’s side, tugging at his hand.

“PUPPIES??” You said as your lower lip jutted forward in a pout.

“Yeah, Suguru is opening an animal shelter downtown, so he called us to attend the opening. But if you want to go the park, it’s okay Megs we are still on!” Toji tried to steer away from the dreaded puppies, but to no avail.

“I WANNA GO SEE EM PLEASE PAPA!!!!” Megumi yelled while jumping up and down.

“Ughh I really wish I could join you guys but I gotta go to the office..” You said shoulders slumping forward. “Do send me pictures baby don’t forget! I wanna see the pups too!” You said as you got up to leave. Toji and Megumi stood up to say bye to you.

“Byee mama we will send you every puppy we see don’t worry!” Megumi said, putting his little fists on his hips, acting all high and mighty.

“Yeah don’t worry dove, we will.” Toji said as he hooked his massive forearms and hands around your waist, pulling you close to his bear-like frame. His kiss made you wanna stay home even more. His soft lips on yours, his scent and warmth, it was intoxicating. But work called. You had to wiggle out of the kiss and jump in the car.

“BYEE MOMMA!! SEE YOU SOON!!” Megumi jumped up and down waving.

And so Toji and Megumi were on their way to the shelter. When they arrived to the building Satoru was waiting in front.

“Well, well, well if it isn’t the Fushiguros. Where is the missus? Does she hate me as much as her douche husband” Gojo said, elbowing Toji in the ribs.

“Momma is at job!” Megumi said trying to peek inside the shelter.

“Mister snow hair are there really puppies in here?”

“Yes there are Megumiiii, he is so cute I wanna eat him alive!” Gojo said licking his teeth.

“Noo don’t eat me snowy meanie, papa save me!” Megumi ran to hide behind Toji.

“Cut the crap Satoru, where is Geto? Let’s get inside.”

“YAAAY PUPPIES!!”

As the three guys entered the building the overwhelming sound of animals flooded their ears. Dogs, cats, bunnies, birds galore. Megumi’s eyes lit up at the sight. He immediately made a beeline for the puppy section at the front.

“Megs wait..” Toji said but to no avail. Megumi immediately went inside the puppy area and sat down. He looked around and his tiny breath suddenly stopped. Two puppies were laying on top of eachother. One white and one black.

They looked like little wolves but with a bit more fluff to them. As soon as Megumi spotted them they lifted their heads and stared at him. They stood on their tiny paws and strode over to little Megumi. Their giant orbs looked at Megumi and he just fell in love. It was really a love at first sight. The two puppies laid their heads on Megumi’s legs and he pet their fluffy little heads.

“Oh thats a first.” A calm quiet voice came from somewhere next to Megumi. It was Suguru who was crouching next to Megumi..

“They are so fluffy and small mister!” Megumi said, beaming with excitement.

“That’s Shiro” Suguru said pointing to the white puppy, “And that’s Kuro”, pointing to the black one.

“They usually keep to themselves, you must be special Megumi.” Suguru said patting Megumi on the hair.

“Megs, there you are, what are you.. Oh no God..” Toji said as he looked into his son’s eyes. He knew that look.

Megumi was smitten.

“Suguru I told you not to show him any dogs for crying out loud.”

“They chose him I can’t make them not to come to someone, besides, look at them, aren’t they the cutest?” Suguru said as he scratched the puppies’ chins and their tiny tails wagged in Megumi’s lap.

“Yes Geto, but we don’t have space for two dogs..”

“Papa…” Megumi said seriously and looked up at Toji who was standing outside the pen.

“Megs, no..” Toji started..

“CAN WE GET THEM PLEASE I PROMISE I’LL BE GOOD I’LL DO ANYTHING YOU AND MOMMA TELL ME PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!” Megumi begged.

“Megumi, we don’t have enough space for two dogs, besides, we need to ask mama first. ” Toji tried to reason with his son.

“BUT MOMMA ALSO LIKES PUPPIES LIKE ME PLEASE PAPA PLEEEAAAAASEEEEE!!!!” Megumi started whining. This was a bad idea from the get go. Toji knew this would happen.

“Megs come on we gotta go home mama will be home soon, come on.” Toji lowered and grabbed Megumi. The puppies protested by whimpering. And Megumi protested by doing the only logical thing he could do. Crying at full volume. Toji took Megumi over his shoulder and Megumi screamed at the puppies trying to hold on to them as Toji carried him effortlessly.

“Well thanks alot Gojo, see what you did.” Toji spat, while Megumi wailed.

“Sorry Ji but don’t worry he’s just a kid he’ll forget about them soon!” Gojo said while scratching the back of his white hair.

And so there they were. Driving back home while Megumi was crying.

“B-BUT DID YOU SEE HOW FLUFFY THEY WERE PAPA? HIC - AND.. AND THAT MISTER SAID THEY FINK I’M SPECIAL!!” Megumi went on.

“Megumi, listen to me baby, we don’t have enough space in our house. Plus, they are puppies, the will grow a lot bigger when they get older. They need food and training and a lot of walks.”

“But I can walk them! They are small We can go to school together. And and Yuji has a dog, and Nobara too! I’m the ONLY ONE WITHOUT A PET TO LOVEEE WAAAAAA” The screaming started again. Toji was pissed off at Gojo. What the hell was that idiot thinking inviting them to a shelter opening KNOWING how much Megumi loves animals. When they got home you were already home cooking dinner.

“You guys! How was the shelter did you take any..”

“MOMMA CAN WE GET PUPPIES PLEASE???”

“Puppies? Which puppies baby? Toji? What is going on? Why is Megs crying??”

“THERE WERE THESE TWO PUPPIES BLACK AND WHITE AND.. AND THE MISTER WITH LONG HAIR SAID THEY FINK I’M SPECIAL AND THEY WERE SO SOF AND FLUFFY AND THEY SLEPT ON MY LEGS PLEASE CAN WE GET THEM PLEASE????”

“Okay okay champ, easy there, let’s eat dinner first.” Toji said as he sat in the kitchen.

After you all ate and put Megumi to bed you went to your room where Toji sat on the edge of the bed. He never did that, so something was truly bothering him. You sat beside him and grabbed his hand.

“What is it darling, whats bothering you?” you asked gently.

“I don’t know what to do dove. You did not see how Megs cried in the car today. I was devastated, he was crying so sad. But we can’t have two dogs in the house,it’s too much work.” He said as he ran his hands over his face.

“Toji, honey, listen to me. I think we both know the answer to that question. Two dogs are a lot of responsibility.”

“Yeah.. you’re right..” Toji said as he went to lie down. You cuddled up to him and he kissed your hair.

“Goodnight dove.” Toji said against your head.

“Goodnight baby..” you murmured, falling into a deep sleep.

“Gmornin momma..” Megumi said as he got in the kitchen, ready for his usual breakfast and chocolate milk.

“Where’s papa?”

“Oh papa went out to grab something, he will be back in no time.” You said as you stirred the eggs in the cast-iron skillet. Megumi sat in the chair and looked his cartoons on the TV when the doorbell rang.

“Who could that be?” You asked, confused. “Wanna help me look who it is Gumi?”

“Yeah momma!” Megumi said, still feeling sad about yesterday. As you guys went to the door and opened it you saw a giant box with a big bow on top.

“Whats this?” You said as you looked at Megumi’s eyes getting bigger by the second. “You wanna open it Megs?”

“Yeah..” He said and walked up to the box. When he touched the lid, he heard tiny noises, like whimpers? He lifted the lid and saw them. Shiro and Kuro. In the flesh. Megumi screeched.

“SURPRISE!!” Toji came from his hiding spot. He took the box inside the house and carefully took the puppies out. They immediately ran to Megumi, jumping on his legs and barking with excitement.

“SHIRO, KURO!!! PAPA WHAT? HOW ARE THEY HERE??” Megumi was beaming as he sat down to pet them while they licked his face. A slew of giggles came out of Megumi’s throat.

“Well mama and me figured it would teach you responsibility. We will talk about training and walks but they are yours Megs!” Toji said grinning.

“Thank you papa, thank you momma! This is the best day EVEER!!” Megumi said through giggles while basking in the morning sunlight which came through the kitchen window peting his new fluffy friends.
