“Ichika, are you ready? Did you pack everything you wanna bring?”
“Yes, mommy!”
“Ah! How many times have I told you to call me daddy?!”
Ichika giggled and stretched out her arms, she wanted Atsumu to carry her. Ichika was their pretty little girl, she was already 4 years old. She had curly black hair, brown eyes and a beauty mark right above her eyebrow.
They were going to the mall and then the beach for an evening picnic that day. Ichika wore a pink dress with a small bow on the left side of the waistline. Kiyoomi tied her hair into a ponytail and clipped up a part of her fringe with a small red clip. Atsumu wore a blue shirt with black jeans and Kiyoomi wore a white shirt with blue jeans. They both wore their matching jackets that they bought at the mall before, Atsumu wore the white one while Kiyoomi wore the black one.
They packed all the things they needed and headed out to the car. Atsumu sat Ichika down and buckled her up before sitting in the front seat. The drive was about 20 minutes, so they put on some songs and enjoyed the car ride. Once they reached the mall, they walked around, looking and browsing through the shops there.
“Daddy! Look! Can I have some?”
Ichika ran up to the display of an ice cream shop and licked her lips as she stared at all the different flavors of ice cream they had. Atsumu laughed and told her to choose which flavours she wanted.
“You two sit here first okay? I have to go to the toilet.”
Atsumu nodded and sat down with Ichika as she ate her ice cream.
Kiyoomi went down to level 1 and entered a small shop. After he got what he intended to get, he went back to Atsumu and Ichika. Once Kiyoomi was back, they bought their food and left. They reached the beach around 5 30 pm, it wasn’t crowded and the weather was perfect.
The water was clear blue and people could be seen playing in the waters. The soft crashes of the waves could be heard as they walked around to find a nice, quiet spot to set up. Kiyoomi laid the mat down while Atsumu followed Ichika to the shore. She walked around, picking up seashells, excited to show them to her dads. Atsumu walked behind her, carrying the seashells that she had picked up. After Ichika was satisfied with the number of seashells she found, they went back to Kiyoomi, who was sanitising his hands.
“Look daddy! I found some seashells!”
Ichika gave the seashells to Kiyoomi who had already prepared a handkerchief to wrap them up in. Kiyoomi examined the seashells on the handkerchief.
“They all look pretty Ichika, where are you gonna keep these when we get back?”
Ichika pondered for a second before shrugging. Kiyoomi chuckled and put the handkerchief in a compartment in his bag. Then, all of them went towards the crystal-clear water. Ichika was in the middle, holding both of their hands as they stood in the waters, deep enough for their feet to be submerged.
Atsumu quietly bent down, scooped up a handful of water, and playfully splashed Kiyoomi who was too focused on the feeling of the sand beneath his feet.
“Atsumu!”
Atsumu giggled before picking up Ichika and backing away from his alpha.
“Catch us if you can!”
He put Ichika down and held her hand before picking up his pace, making sure that Kiyoomi stayed behind them. Soon enough, Kiyoomi caught up with them. After that, they walked back to the spot where they left their bags. Atsumu took out and prepared the food they had bought at the mall. They all sat down, eating and drinking, enjoying the weather and scenery. Kiyoomi reached into his bag, pulled out a small bracelet that was purple in colour, and gave it to Ichika.
“I noticed you looking at it earlier, so I got it for you.”
Ichika took the bracelet with a wide smile, her eyes lit up. She wore it and hugged Kiyoomi, thanking him. Atsumu beamed and rubbed Kiyoomi’s arm. At 6 45 pm, they could see the sun setting behind the horizon. The sky was a beautiful mixture of orange and yellow. Atsumu stood up, excited. He picked Ichika up and pulled Kiyoomi’s hand to get him to stand up.
“Let’s take a picture now! The sky is so pretty!”
Atsumu took out his phone and positioned it so that everyone was in the frame. Atsumu was carrying Ichika and Kiyoomi had his arm wrapped around both of them.
“Smilee!”
