#kagehina as dads, ft one of Sino's adorable kghn kids

"Hello?"

"Hey. It's raining, d'you need me to bring you an umbrella?"

"Awww Yama, you're worried about me?"

"...Never mind, catch a cold and die."

"Wait, wait!" Shoyo cackled. "Don't hang up!"

Tobio wasn't *actually* going to hang up. But Shoyo already knew that, so he only dignified him with a grunt as a response.

"I remembered an umbrella today, don't worry!"

"Wasn't worried. Just thought your dumb ass forgot to check the weather."

"Uh-huh. Love you too, Tobi~"

"Yeah, yeah. Love you. When will you be coming home?"

"Maybe 30 minutes? Practice just ended."

"'Kay. See you."

"Bye, Tobi!"

"Papa?"

Tobio looked up from his phone to see their eldest daughter peering into the living room from the hallway. "Lili? What's wrong?"

She opened her mouth to answer, when a loud clap of thunder made her wince and clam up.

"...Ah. Is it the storm?"

She glowered at the implication that she was scared...and gave a little nod. Tobio pressed his lips thin against a smile. "Come here, sweetheart."

Her glower softened into a pout as she shuffled over to the couch, crawling onto his lap and leaning into his open arms. "You need to go to sleep," he murmured into her pink bonnet. "You've got school tomorrow."

"But I'm scared," she mumbled against his shirt. "Where's Papi?"

"He'll be home soon. Do you want me to help?"

"Yeah..."

"What should we do?"

"I dunno...I don't wanna be alone."

"Will it help if Papa tucks you in again?"

"...Okay."

Tobio hadn't suggested that with the expectation of going to be bed, as well. But when he tucked Lili in and began to step away, he was stopped by little fingers around his wrist. A single look at her wide eyes told him what she wanted.

She always knew exactly how to make Tobio melt. How could he not? Lili had stepped up to being a big sister so well when they had welcomed Luka to the family, but she was only four. As far as Tobio was concerned, she was still his baby.

And so, when Shoyo came home, he only found his husband after searching around the house.

He was curled up next to Lili, holding their daughter tight to his chest, and fast asleep. Shoyo felt like his heart might burst out of his chest as he quietly crouched next to the bed.

"Hey," he whispered, running his fingers through Tobio's hair. His husband unconsciously leaned into his touch, but he didn't wake up until Shoyo pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"Mm...Sho?"

"Hey, sleepyhead."

Shoyo could see the moment Tobio fully woke up, his head snapping up from the pillow without jostling Lili. "...Shit."

"Did she get scared by the storm?"

"Mm...she came asking for you," Tobio sighed, letting his head fall back to the pillow. "So I asked her what I could do."

"Did she say that I get into bed with her?"

Tobio's brows furrowed, but Shoyo didn't bother hiding his small smile. "No...but she wouldn't let me go until I did."

"Wow," Shoyo sighed, bracing his elbow on the bed as he rested his chin in his hand. "She really is my daughter."

"Hah? She's *our* daughter, dumbass."

"Sure, but she doesn't know how to play *me* like a fiddle," Shoyo snickered. "She's learned well from me."

He watched the indignant annoyance on Tobio's face fade into resignation. "...Oh my god."

He looked so betrayed, but without an ounce of anger. Shoyo couldn't help pressing a kiss to his cheek. Then another kiss. Then a kiss to his lips. "...Oi, stop it."

"Nope! You're too cute, Tobi! How can I resist?"

"I'm not cute," he grumbled, "just an idiot."

"Sure, but you're my idiot. My big, adorable idiot."

"I hate you so much."

"Shhhh, language. Before you know it, Lili's gonna use that on you."

"Uh-huh."

Shoyo snorted as he got to his feet, only to be stopped by long, calloused fingers at his wrist. "What?"

"You're not going anywhere."

"Huh?"

That was all he could say before he was gently tugged towards the bed, forcing him to brace his knee at the edge. "C'mere."

"What about Luka?"

"Already asleep."

Shoyo's lips twisted in protest, but he couldn't think of anything to say.

And besides, any reluctance he felt was sapped away the longer he looked at his husband and daughter snuggled together in her tiny bed. There was just enough space for Shoyo to fit himself at Tobio's side.

A strong arm at his waist and their legs getting tangled together kept him from feeling like he'd fall off the bed, but he still pressed as close as possible, tucking his cold nose into the curve of Tobio's neck and smiling at the soft grunt of protest he earned.

"Thirty minutes," he mumbled into warm skin, "and then you're making me dinner."

"Yes, sir," he heard sighed into his hair. And so, with a grin and a brushed kiss, Shoyo let himself drift to sleep.
