"Gengen, look!!" Ramuda giggled happily as he held his drawing up to show it to Gentaro who was sitting next to him on the table, working on his writings.
"It looks great." Gentaro smiled in return as he looked at the artwork his little had made.
"I'm going to colour this house in pink!" Ramuda's face beamed with joy as Gentaro petted the boy's hair.
It was already quite late but Gentaro had to stay up and work on the story he was writting. Although he tried to convince Ramuda that he should go to bed, the boy refused and stayed with him. As Ramuda let out a yawn that was very well noticed by Gentaro in the otherwise quiet room with only the faint sound of pen against papper, the writter was reminded of how late it had became.
" Oh! Ramuda, our time does call upon's for bed, dearie~" Gentaro patted the boy's back as he was lying now lying his head on the table.
"Aww, already?" He rubbed his eyes sleepily.
"It's okay" Gentaro said before closing the notebook he had been writting in "I will be going to bed as well so we shall still be together."
"Thou've got paint all over thy fingers. We should get thou cleaned up" With these words, Gentaro stood up and picked up the shorter one in his arms.
The two of them made their way to the bathroom, Gentaro still carrying Ramuda who was clinging to him tightly. He was only put down once they reached the sink as Gentaro turned it on and made sure the water was warm but not too hot before gently washing Ramuda's hands. It didn't take long until it was all done and Ramuda was all clean again.
"Does Ramuda need to use the potty before we go to bed?" Gentaro asked as he was helping Ramuda dry his hands in a towel.
"Nope!" Ramuda responded confidently. Gentaro smiled as he put the towel away.
They made their way to the bedroom and Ramuda ran off excitedly to the bed to picking up one of his many stuffed animals he had brought with himself. Gentaro was too weak to make his little pick just one to bring when he came visit so he let him bring a whole bag of them.
It was time to get Ramuda ready for sleep. Unbuttoning and taking his shirt off proved to be a bit of a challange as Ramuda had no intention of cooperating much. Instead he was just giggling around rubbing his plushie into Gentaro's face as if it was giving him a kiss which might have been very adorable but wasn't helpful at all. Soon enough it was all done and he had his pijama top on.
Removing his jeans and underwear proved to be a lot easier despite that he was still uncooperative at least he wasn't being intrusive. Gentaro was completely used to it as he knew Ramuda preferred to be passive and let him do the clothing changing. The pink haired boy looked curiously as Gentaro walked away to go pick up a diaper and some baby powder from the bag that sat aside in his closet and come back with it. It had a nice flower pattern in pastel colours which Ramuda had chosen himself.
The diaper was gently slid under Ramuda's bum and wrapped around his waist, after putting some powder on his privates of course. He usually did not wear diapers even in his little mode but made an exception during bed time mostly due to Gentaro's request. It was rare that it ended up being used even then.
"Gengen!! Can I have some candy?" Ramuda asked after he had been put into his pijama completely.
"Thou hast been a good boy today, so of course" Gentaro patted him on the head as they exchanged smiles. He then proceed to open the drawer of his nightstand where he kept a stack of Ramuda's favourite lollipops for when he came visit him and handed one to the boy.
Ramuda cheered as he opened it and but it into his mouth before taking his usual spot in the bed next to the wall.
As he finally finished preparing himself for bed as well, Gentaro took his own stop with one of the children books he had bought for his baby in hand. Ramuda loved bedtime stories from Gentaro. He snuggled into the taller guy with his favourite plushie in his arms, after they both got cosy.
Not long into the story though, Gentaro sensed that Ramuda had fallen asleep, his lollipop still in his mouth. It was no surprise, Ramuda was tired already. Gentaro smiled gently at the sight as he removed it carefully not to wake him up and placed it back in it's wrapper before turning off the lights and going to sleep himself.
It felt like a blessing to be allowed to see this side of Ramuda. After learning of his leader's origin, he felt quite sad that he never had the chance to experience having a proper childhood. Although Ramuda was quite childish even in his everyday behavior, their littlespace time still felt special to Gentaro.
It was him who initiated it when Ramuda wanted them to spend a day together, doing whatever Gentaro decided. It was a surprise to Ramuda that he'd pick such an activity but he ended up enjoying himself and they had been doing it often ever since. With these thoughts on his mind Gentaro soon fell asleep hugging his little tightly by his side.
