Tohma Ishibashi

Tohma had you wrapped in one of his arms, pressed against his chest to shield you if the anomaly found your hiding spot. He wanted to keep his halberd at the ready, but it didn’t fit inside, so he palmed the keychain, ready to use it if the door was opened. 

He listened for footsteps, receding down the hall. He also heard your heavy, fearful breathing. He felt your breath wash over his neck. It sent a pleasant chill down his spine. He tore his gaze from the door to look at you. He couldn’t help but smile at your pinched expression. You were huddled into the corner, hands around his waist since there was no good place to put them in the confined space. 

You noticed his stare and were taken aback at how calm, even amused he looked. That suave glimmer never left his eyes, even now. Seeing him still confident and in control steeled your nerves. As a reward for you trying to be brave, he leaned down enough for your foreheads and noses to touch. You weren’t sure which one of you angled your head for a kiss. If it was you, he met you without hesitation. He captured your lips for as long as he could, distracting you from your fears and promising more to come after your mission was complete. 

Lucas Errant

Luca was torn. His instincts screamed for him to give chase, rushing into battle, but he had been chastised for abandoning you and Kaito too many times. That was why he corralled you into a locker and shielded you. His swords were at the ready, held by his sides with the bladed edges pointed away from you. He ground his teeth, angry that it was too big and destructive to engage head on without risking your safety. He gripped his swords so hard his arms shook.

He glanced at you to scan you for injuries, finding a soft, concerned expression on what he could make out of your face in the shadows. 

That was all he needed to know he made the right choice. His habits were reckless and he regretted making you worry about him, and about yourself in his hands. He needed your trust as much as he needed you to be safe. Defending you was his way of letting you know how important you are to him, but that message had been lost in his foolish, thoughtless actions. 

Luca took a deep breath to calm himself more, and pressed a kiss to your cheek to reassure you. You were surprised, as surprised as he was at himself. He didn’t even think about it, he just acted. Again. He gaped, mouthing his apologies when you smiled and kissed him on the lips. 

How he wished he wasn’t holding his swords so he could hold your hand instead. When you pulled back, he chased your lips, wanting more. He chuckled at himself and pressed his forehead against yours. 

“I’ll keep you safe,” he whispered. He sealed his promise with another quick kiss and resumed his vigil. 

Kaito Fuji

The two of you clung to each other, terrified of the thing neither of you could fight off. Every one of Kaito’s wheezing exhales carried a whimper. He stifled them in your shoulder, pressing his mouth to the crook of your neck and hoping he wouldn’t get you caught. 

His mind whirled, chastising himself for being an embarrassment of a man in his eyes. He cared about you so much, he couldn’t even keep you safe. He took deep lungfuls of air in the stifling locker, desperate for it once he noticed the smell of your soap and shampoo. Your smell calmed him, and when he picked his head up his lips grazed the column of your neck by accident. 

You gasped at the sensation, his soft, warm lips sent a tingle across your skin. Kaito sucked his lips in as if he could take back the blunder. 

“Sorry!” He clamped his hand over his mouth when he whispered too loud, the sound slicing through the silence that was all that protected you from the patrolling anomaly. 

More guilt washed over him. Not only could he not protect you, but he was being inappropriate without meaning to. Your thighs were between each other’s, your chests were pressed together, breaths mingling in the limited space between you. If not for how terrified he was, this would have been a dream come true for him. But he was sure you wanted to be anywhere else, with anyone else. Someone stronger, someone hotter. You probably hated him for touching and smelling you like some kind of opportunistic freak. 

You touched his cheek to get his attention. He looked like a spooked small animal, wanting to dart into a hole and never be seen again. There was one sure way you could distract and reassure him that you didn’t mind the accidental kiss to your neck. Once his bright green eyes were locked to yours, his mouth slightly parted, you pressed a soft kiss to his lips and felt him freeze. He stopped breathing and squirming as he processed what was happening. You pulled away before his brain could catch up. His eyes widened and he licked his lips, the realization that you just kissed him hitting him in waves. 

Kaito stuttered, wanting to ask what, why, how, here? 

A lot of it comes from the state of his stigma and his family history. He worries about bringing a newborn into a world that hasn’t exactly been kind to him. Sometimes he doubts whether he could really be a good father, even though anyone who really really knows him can tell how loving and attentive he already is.

It takes him time to warm up to the idea. And most of that time is spent with you reassuring him, reminding him that he doesn’t have to be perfect. Honestly, if it weren’t you, he wouldn’t even consider having a family at all.

Once he does, though? He spoils the kids so much. You end up having to be the one who tells him to tone it down sometimes. He’s very understanding with them, always trying to see things from their perspective… even if both of you struggle with patience now and then.

Tohma

Tohma likes the idea of having kids, but he’s very “not yet” about it.

He wants to be fully ready, financially, emotionally, in every possible way before bringing a child into the picture. That usually means working even harder than he already does, which honestly makes you worry about him. He tends to push himself a little too far, especially with his health and medication.

Still, he’s not the type to make empty promises. If he says he’ll get there someday, he means it.

He’d absolutely be a girl dad. He’d say it doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl, but if you have a daughter? Internally, he’s panicking. How is he supposed to protect someone so precious? If it’s a boy, though, the resemblance is uncanny, same looks, same personality.

After having kids, he softens a lot. He’s still responsible and serious, just gentler.

Kaito

Kaito isn’t very confident about having kids, but he does want a family with you.

He’d probably want to wait until things feel more stable, after marriage, after life settles a bit. And when the topic comes up, he goes all in. Parenting classes, books, notes saved on his phone, he wants to be prepared for everything.

And he’s actually really good with kids.

He’s patient, warm, and surprisingly calm. Your kids end up loving baking with him, and he encourages them to create and explore whatever they’re interested in. He definitely cries when they take their first steps and tries (and fails) to hide it.

He’s protective and supportive, but also a little strict. Some of that comes from guilt he still carries, even if he doesn’t talk about it much. He just wants to make sure he doesn’t mess things up.

Lucas

Lucas never really planned on having kids, until you mentioned it.

The idea makes him nervous almost immediately because he takes it very seriously. Children aren’t something he’d treat lightly, and he’s determined not to let you down. He studies everything, asks you questions all the time, and makes sure you’re both on the same page.

He’d want to name his child after his brother and add “Jr.” without hesitation.

As a dad, he’s incredibly gentle and caring. The kids cling to him constantly, so he usually handles nighttime care and lets you rest. He’s sweet, patient, and calm but on the rare occasion he actually gets angry, it’s scary enough that the kids behave instantly.
