//Maki afraid that she might damaging her 2nd child's (Keiko) reputation, and Kaito tries to calm her down.
Maki stares at the sky on her bedroom balcony, while thinking about something. âHarumaki? Whatâre you doing here?â. Her husband approach her, makes her back to reality. â KaitoâŠâ Kaito stands beside her.
âNothing, just a little stargazingâŠ. I think?â She said.
âsomethingâs wrong?â Said Kaito, as he put his hand on Makiâs shoulder making her lean to his biceps.
A little silence between them as they look at the stars that adorning the night sky.
âabout Keikoâs reputation and stuffâŠ. Do you think itâs because of me?â After a moment she finally speak, with a little frown on her face.
ââthe daughter of a slaughter ho kills at night under black cover' youâŠknow who they meant right?â Maki stands up, as she puts her hands on the balcony railing.
âalthough they donât really know who exactly the person was but they somehow knew about âScarlet Despair' and the Holy Salvation Society and much worse they knew it related to Keiko. Which is because of me..â
âbut youâre out right? You no longer have anything related to your assassination, how they knew about your alias?â
Maki exhale in exhaustion. âthatâs exactly what Iâm curious about, Iâll ask Shuichi about this, right now I want to find a way to make Keiko not to get drag about this, especially since I havenât told her anything.â
âbut what if I only make it worse? Also Keiko is a straight thinker also she has slight aphasia. itâll be impossible for her to.. but⊠ARGHâ Maki holds her head anxious while panting. Kaito rubs her back rhythmically to calm her down while holds her protectively.
â I such failure as a mother⊠not just because I rarely even spend time with any of my children, I also really useless during time like this.â
When itâs about her family especially her children Maki can be a little anxious. She havenât told any of her child about her childhood as an assassin which makes her a bit scared if they found out before she and Kaito tell them anything, especially her middle child.
But Kaito always had a way to make her calm down when times like this.
Kaito put his hands around her waist from behind and brings her closer to him. If he can be honest, he wanted at least a time just the two of them like this, and now he got it.
âh-huh?â Maki startled at the sudden contact making her blush a little.
â youâre not a failure, youâre never beâŠyouâre amazing youâre able to think this through. Youâre much better a parent than I am, I mean I only able to see my family in 6 months.â Kaito said with his usual stupid but cute grin.
âbesides this is Keiko weâre talking about, she got your mindset, Iâm sure sheâll think this out somehow before we even knew it. She always has her way to get out, and we help her from afar. And if i knew one thing about Keiko, she doesnât like if we too caught up with her problem but she will ask us for help if she thinks she canât handle it herselfâ
âbut how can you be so sure?â Maki turned to face her husband.
âbecauseâŠâ Kaito pull her closer and kisses her forehead, and meet her forehead with his.
âsheâs our daughter. And as a parent we should at least have faith in her right?â he smiles again. Maki finally calmed down, although still blushing as she tries to hide it with her bangs. Is he really the Kaito i knew? After a minute she finally realized..
âh-huhâ Maki suddenly became flustered as she pushed Kaito. â the hell are you doing?!â
â what? I canât even hug my own wife?â Kaito asked in confusion, although seeing his wife still able be flustered around him despite already married making him chuckled. âcuteâ
â t-that's not the point! What if the kids saws us?â
âwhy would they saw us? Weâre on our bedroom balcony and the kids are sleeping. âsides you really could use a hug yâknowâ
â i-idiotâ Maki hugs Kaito and hides her face in his chest. â love you..â
Weâll talk to her tomorrow okay? Right now , letâs get some sleep.
