Chapter Text
"... and that's how chichi managed to get your parents married!" Kagami-chan kicks his heels in the air as he tickles the babies, cheerfully telling them stories Hikaku would rather they not hear as he cuddles up to them on the yogi.
"Kagami, please don't tell people that." His son blinks up at him, and Hikaku struggles to put the reasons for his request into words. Saying that his reputation for competence will be completely destroyed by everyone knowing Madara-sama's inept attempts at courtship were at his suggestion is completely out of the question though, and he's forced to settle on something simpler. "Madara-sama would rather people didn't know I took a hand in it."
"But I asked him, chichi!" Kagami's eyes are wide and innocent, but Hikaku can see a hint of mischief in them and knows there was a reason Tobirama-sama and Madara-sama took his son as a student. "He said I could!"
"Ah." All paths of retreat have been cut off apparently, and Hikaku bows to the inevitable. There's no reason he shouldn't try to prevent a total massacre however. "Well then, perhaps keep it within the family? Chichi is rather shy, as you know."
I'll try, chichi!" Kagami tickles one of the babies again - the one with Madara-sama's hair - and smiles at them adoringly. "I'll do my best!"
And that's really all Hikaku can hope for.
