Work Text:
You and your husband- Nanami Kento are former Grade-1 sorcerers, both having to constantly risk your lives fighting curses, and having to constantly worry about each other, this all changed when you got pregnant for the first time, while both of you were ecstatic, it also prompted your decisions to retire and quit risking safety for the sake of the growing family. Well, Kento took a little more persuading, since he thought being a stockbroker is a shittier job than being a jujutsu sorcerer, but then you had reminded him time and time again that a child needs both of his parents alive and well, he finally relented; at the end of the day, he knows in his heart that he’d love to spend the rest of his life with you- his darling wife and kid.
And years later, you two are as strong and loving together, with Kento having gone back to work as a stockbroker, earning much more than enough to support his family, and with a rambunctious lively toddler- Kaito; you and your son always ready to welcome Kento back home when he gets off work. Kento remains a very loyal, loving and doting husband, and when you found out your second pregnancy, both of you cannot be more excited, and when you reached your third and final trimester, he had applied to work-from-home so he can be with you 24/7, which you don’t mind one bit; you would find yourself waking up with Kento beside you, working on his laptop while running a hand soothingly over your pregnant belly, he had said he likes to feel his baby girl kicking and moving inside your tummy. He was by your side when the due date came around, he let you squeezed his hand as hard as you could while he waited with excitement, as you gave birth to your baby girl; you were elated when the labor was over, and Kento had burst into happy tears when he first held baby girl Yuki in his strong arms.
Kento went back to office work 3 months after Yuki’s birth, and you remain the dedicating and loving housewife and mother, with the occasional outings for grocery shopping and dropping off and picking up Kaito from school depending on the plan between you and Kento, and definitely always at home ready to welcome him home from work. He really appreciates it, and he’s ever so grateful to have you as his other half, he loves coming home to you and your children, he is very grateful that you always prepare and cook a hot, delicious meal for him to come home to, and of course, the bedroom stuff. He knows that while you miss hanging out with the girls- Ieiri, Utahime and Mei Mei, your housewife duties have essentially occupied most of your time, and he knows that you totally deserve some ‘me-time’, so he arranges for the girls to take you out on a Friday night, which they were more than happy to oblige, since they also miss hanging out with you.
As you are getting ready, you are excited about seeing the girls again, but at the same time, you are wary of leaving Kento alone with the kids, “Honey, are you sure? I don’t have to go out, you know.”
Kento, who’s leaning against the doorway of your shared bedroom, he smiles at you reassuringly, and he walks up to you, wrapping his arms around you lovingly, “Yes, babe, I’m sure. You are not worried about me looking after the kids, huh?”
You shake your head with a soft smile, “No, of course not, I trust the kids with you completely, it’s just that Kaito can be such a handful at times.”
Kento chuckles at you, “Baby, I’m sure that I can handle both Kaito and Yuki. Just go and have fun, enjoy a girls’ night out, you deserve it.”
You smile and kiss him on the lips, but you look at him with a raised eyebrow, “What’s this about, though?”
“I know you miss hanging out with the girls, and I know that being my wife, looking after me, the kids and the penthouse have been depriving you of your own ‘me-time’,” Kento replies with a gentle smile. “I am really thankful for always having you welcome me home, and for feeding me with your amazing cooking.”
“Honey, I love you and the kids so much,” you smile at him lovingly. “Of course, I am doing all those…”
“And we love you so much too,” Kento responds with a smile. “You deserve to have some time to yourself.”
“Go on, get ready, the girls will be here soon,” Kento smiles. “And oh before I forget, here, take my card.”
Kento takes out his black credit card from his pants pocket and hands it to you, which you immediately refuse.
“Honey, it’s fine, I don’t need your limitless black card,” you say, rolling your eyes.
Kento grins, “I know, but it’s my treat, and I both know and trust that you won’t go Mei Mei-crazy.”
You roll your eyes, “Don’t let Mei Mei hear you say that.”
The girls arrived just a while later, laughing and chatting excitedly.
“You finally decided to share Y/N, huh?” Shoko jokes.
Kento rolls his eyes, “I don’t keep my wife prisoner, ladies.”
“We know,” Utahime says. “But you have had her all to yourself for years, since she married you.”
“I hope you gave Y/N your black card,” Mei Mei states with a grin.
Kento rolls his eyes, “Have drinks on me.”
You soon came out, dressed and ready in a pretty and casual summer dress, with a pair of killer Christian Louboutin heels, you greet the girls happily, and then you call over your older child, who was watching TV, the little boy obliges and runs over to you, and peaks you on the cheek as you kneel down to his level.
“Kaito, darling, mom is going out with auntie Utahime, Shoko and Mei Mei,” you say. “Now, daddy will stay home with you and Yuki, be good, okay? Listen to daddy, alright?”
Kaito nods obediently, “Okay, mommy, I’ll be a good boy.”
“That’s my boy,” you smile happily.
Then, you stand back up as you let him run back to his cartoon, you smile at Kento, and you kiss him and baby Yuki in his arms.
“Love you, have fun tonight, babe,” Kento says with a grin.
“I love you too, honey,” you promise. “I won’t be away long.”
Kento chuckles, “I trust you, baby, go have fun.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“So...how has married life been treating you?” Utahime asks, as you and the girls sit down in a restaurant. “I can’t remember how long it has been since our last hang-out!”
You grin, “It’s great! Well, I’m extremely lucky to have a loving and loyal husband like Kento.”
“We still all miss the both of you at Jujutsu Tech,” Shoko says with a sigh. “Not just the students, but the staff as well.”
“Can’t say that we miss being jujutsu sorcerers,” you chuckle. “We don’t want to live worrying about whether any one of us will be able to come home safe and sound to the kids, and Kento is now well settled back in his finance job.”
“But we do miss you guys,” you add with a sad smile.
“When Kento called us to take you out for a girls’ night out, we were really surprised,” Utahime says happily. “It’s so great that we can hang out again!”
“Can he handle the kids by himself tonight?” Shoko asks as she drinks from her own glass of wine. “You are not worried, are you?”
“No, not worried,” you reply with a wry smile. “More like they can be quite a handful at times.”
“I’m sure a powerful former Grade 1 sorcerer, if he could handle curses,” Utahime says with a wink. “I’m sure he can handle his own two boisterous kids.”

Meanwhile at home…
Kento is feeding baby Yuki who is sitting in a baby high-chair, while Kaito is sat at the dining table toying with his half-eaten dinner, i.e. pushing around the uneaten veggie on the plate with a fork as his eyes glue to the cartoons on the TV.
Kento frowns, “Kaito, boy, why aren’t you eating up the veggie?”
The little boy pouts, “Da...daddy, I don’t like veggie…”
Kento rolls his eyes, “Vegetables are good for you, come on, eat up, kid.”
Kaito whines, “I don’t wanna!”
“Nanami Kaito, you are not being a good boy right now,” Kento says in a warning tone.
Kaito, sensing the tone, quits whining, but continues to pout, eyes glued to the TV, still refusing to eat up the veggie on his plate.
Kento, seeing this, sighs in frustration, and goes to pick up the remote and turns off the telly, causing his young son to whine again.
“Daaaaadddddyyyy, I want the telly please!!” Kaito begs.
Kento turns to his son seriously, “Look at me, son, finish up your veggie first then you can watch the telly.”
Kaito pouts and looks at his father with a kicked-puppy look.
“Don’t give me that look, it doesn’t work on me,” Kento says and looks sharply at his son. “No veggie, no telly.”
Kaito frowns with a pout.
Kento rolls his eyes, “If you are a good boy and eat up the veggie, you can have dessert afterwards.”
The little boy’s eyes light up at the word ‘dessert’, and he looks at Kento eagerly, “Really?!”
Kento sighs and rolls his eyes, “Yes, daddy promises you, you can have ice-cream after you finish the veggie on your dinner plate.”
“And the telly?” Kaito pleads with eager eyes. “Please can I have cartoons on while I eat my ice-cream?”
Kento rolls his eyes, and relents, “Fine, kid, you can, but…”
“Only after I eat the veggie,” Kaito finishes smartly.
“Right, yes, only after you eat up the veggie,” Kento agrees with a helpless smile.
Therefore Kaito diligently finished up the veggie on his plate, and is now sitting in front of the telly watching “LooneyTunes” as he happily eats a bowl of ice-cream, Kento places baby Yuki in the baby pan as he goes to clear up the dirty dishes and do the washing up. Kento’s eyes flash to the kitchen clock as he washes up the dishes, there is about another hour and a half till the kids’ bedtime, he sighs and rolls his neck, mind wondering how on earth do you handle the kids when he’s not at home.
“DAD! Daddy!” Kaito yells from the lounge.
“What is it, boy?” Kento asks, as he walks out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on a towel.
Kaito holds up an empty bowl with a pout, “No ice-cream...please can I have more?”
Kento sighs and shakes his head, “Sorry, buddy, no more ice-cream. It’s too much.”
Kaito whines, “Pleeeeaaaasssseee, daddy!”
Kento frowns with disapproval, “You will get tummy ache if you eat too much now, you don’t want to get tummy ache, do you, buddy?”
Kaito shakes his head ‘No’, but still pouts cutely.
Kento smiles helplessly, “Sorry, buddy, you can have ice-cream tomorrow again, but now is enough. Okay?”
Kaito nods with a pout, “Okay, daddy.”
*Time skip*
Kento spends the time playing with Yuki, while Kaito continues watching his cartoons until it came to the kids’ bedtime…
“Kaito, buddy, time’s up,” Kento states. “Time for bed.”
Kento is heading to Yuki’s baby room, preparing to put her down for her nap, when Kaito whines out again, wanting to watch a bit more cartoons, he rolls his neck and sighs, wondering how many times had his son whined for the evening. He hushes and coos to baby Yuki before putting her into the crib, and heading back out into the living area to see Kaito still glued to the TV.
Kento rolls his eyes and looks at his son with narrowed eyes, “Come on kid, turn off the TV, go brush your teeth and get to bed.”
“I’m...not...sleepy, daddy,” Kaito protests with a pout, but funnily is also yawning at the same time.
Kento chuckles at his son, “See, you are yawning already, come on buddy, head to bed.”
After more coaxing and prodding, Kento finally successfully got Kaito to go brush his teeth and go to bed, Kento goes to check on baby Yuki in the baby’s bedroom, to find her still awake and whimpering, and his heart immediately breaks, and he coos to his baby girl and picks her up from the crib, and she immediately smiles and coos, and very quickly closes her eyes in his arms. He smiles lovingly down at his daughter, sways her for a few more times before trying to place her back in her crib, however once her head hits the baby pillow, she immediately whines and cries, and he sighs and smiles helplessly, and picks her back up and coos to her. He has lost count how many times he has tried, but every time he tries to put Yuki down back into her crib, she cries and whimpers, and he would pick her back up, and she would immediately settle down and close her eyes in her father’s embrace.
Kento essentially gives up, he holds Yuki in a secure hold, and heads out to the living room, where he sits down to continue some work on his laptop, and looking down to see her sleeping soundly in his muscular arm, Kento sighs with a chuckle, “Oh, Yuki, what am I going to do with you?”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you and the girls finally called it a night, and promising to arrange another date, you come home to a sight that totally melts your heart; when you walk into the penthouse, taking off your killer heels, tip-toeing since it’s already past the kids’ bedtime, when you enter the expanse living area, you are greeted by the sight of Kento sitting down at the dining table, tapping and working away on his laptop, with one hand, his other arm occupied with hugging your new bundle of joy to his chest.
“Hey, babe! How was the girls’ night out?” your husband looks up and greets you with a smile.
You smile, and walk over to him, and kiss him lovingly, “It was wonderful, we had a great time catching up, had a delicious dinner, and then some luxurious shopping. I bought a few things, and oh, the girls asked me to tell you ‘thank-you’ for the dinner and drinks.”
You return his black card and kiss him, “Thank you very much for tonight, honey, I didn’t realize I needed it.”
Kento chuckles, “You’re very welcome, baby, glad you had fun.”
“How was it tonight? Were the kids well-behaved?” you inquire.
“Well, Kaito is already in bed, he was a good boy this evening, aside from whining about the veggie in his dinner, whining about wanting more ice-cream and wanting to stay up longer to watch more cartoons,” Kento replies, lips quirking.
You shake your head with a helpless chuckle, “I swear Satoru has ‘infected’ him with his mega sweet-tooth.”
“What about Yuki? Why isn’t she sleeping in her crib?” you ask, looking sweetly at your baby girl asleep soundly in her father’s loving arm.
Kento chuckles and smiles sheepishly at you, “She would not go down for sleep in the crib, I’ve tried, but every time I put her down in her crib, she cries.”
You sigh and shake your head with a helpless smile, “Honey, you’re lucky we don’t have to worry about spoiling her yet, you need to start reining in when she reaches 9 months old.”
Kento smiles ruefully, “Yes, baby, I get it...I will...”
“Come on, let’s put her down in her crib,” you say. “It’s late, you need to get to bed too.”
Kento listens to you, and shuts off his laptop, getting up and heading into Yuki’s baby room, Kento tries to move and place her in the crib, but as soon as her head is on the baby pillow, she immediately starts whining and crying, and your husband immediately responds by picking her back up in his loving arms, and Yuki immediately calms down and coos softly in his loving hold.
Kento turns to you, and chuckles awkwardly, as you stare at him knowingly, “I will stay with Yuki a little longer, I will come to bed soon, I promise, baby.”
You smirk, “Wanna bet how long will you be in here, honey?”
“No, babe,” Kento frowns. “I can do it, I want to do it, I’m the father. I can get her to sleep in her crib.”
You smile at your husband knowingly, and suck your teeth, “Good luck with that, honey, if I’m not mistaken, I believe you secretly enjoy baby Yuki holding onto you like a koala bear.”
You walk off leaving Kento staring after you bashfully, and as you sat in your shared bed waiting for him, you wonder how long it will take him to get Yuki to sleep soundly in her crib. You lost count of how long it has been, when your husband finally comes into the bedroom, and your eyes widen at the sight of him still holding his baby daughter, you raise an eyebrow at him and he smiles bashfully at you.
“Just for tonight, baby, please,” Kento whispers and begs as he slips into bed beside you.
You chuckle and roll your eyes, “You better take a vow of abstinence if you keep giving into Yuki like this.”
“Huh?! Uh…” Kento gapes like a goldfish at you, as you shut your eyes to sleep with a smile.
