The sudden loud thunderclap woke him up with a jump. The redhead sat up, hand over his heart which was pounding hard due to the shock. "That scared me." He whispered to no one, looking around before remembering something.
The teenager jumped off his bed and hurried out his room, entering the one across his own where cries could be heard.
Without a word, Shuuji took a big stride to the figure, standing up and holding onto the railing of his bed as he cried.
"It's okay." He said with a smile, picking the toddler up. "It's okay ." He repeated, rocking 2 years old Fumiya in his arms. "There's nothing to be scared of. Onii-chan is here."
Fumiya sniffled, clutching onto the ginger's pajamas as the older one walked them back to his room. "Let's sleep together." He said gently, putting Fumiya down on his bed before laying next to him.
He patted Fumi on his chest rhythmically, hoping it'd help with lulling him back to sleep but another goddamn thunder clapped again, louder than before and Fumiya bursted into another set of tears.
Urgh, this isn't easy.
Maybe he wasn't giving Fumiya enough sense of security. He sighed and picked his little brother up again. "Let's go to mommy and daddy, hm?"
Again, he exited the room and went to his parents. Knocking thrice before entering.
"What's wrong?" Their dad was the one to welcome them, seemingly hadn't gone to sleep judging from the book on his lap and the bedside lamp being on.
Their mother on other hand, had a pillow on top of his head as he slept on.
"Ah, can't sleep?" He continued before Shuuji even spoke a word.
The oldest settled with a nod, referring to the dark haired toddler in his arms.
"Chuuya was woken up too." Dazai said with a chuckle and stretched his arms out, to which Shuuji passed his brother on to.
The older brunet began rocking his youngest back to sleep, having to get so much better in handling their children. "Thanks, big brother." He grinned and Shuuji returned it.
Once he was sure Fumi's calmed down, he took a step towards the door. "Well then, I guess I should go back to-"
"What's with the hurry?" It was Chuuya, voice muffled from the pillow. "Come here." He then peeled the second pillow away from his face and set it beside his own. "It won't be fair if only Fumi sleeps with us."
"But mom~ I'm not a kid anymore." Shuuji whined.
"Oh shut up, you're forever our baby." Chuuya said with a roll of his eyes.
"You know better than to say no, Shuuji. It's only a matter of seconds before your mom uses his ability on you."
"Urgh, fine." The oldest boy relented, joining his parents and brother on the bed.
"Since when are you a tsundere?" Dazai asked with a raised brow. "I can tell you're feeling fantastic because you're allowed to sleep beside your mother."
"You're making me sound weird, Dad." Shuuji cringed, pulling the cover atop himself.
"I'll cut your limbs if you hug him."
"Oh my god, shut it you both!"
"Dad started it!"
Fumi whined and they all immediately fell quiet, not wanting to wake their youngest.
"Go to sleep." Chuuya clicked his tongue, ruffling Shuuji's head. "Good night, Shuuji."
"Night, Mom."
"Put the book away and sleep, Osamu."
"Fine." The brunet pouted, putting his book away and settling Fumi down in between him and his husband. "My goodnight kiss." He demanded.
Chuuya rolled his eyes but gave him one anyway and Fumi too.
".... Isn't it unfair?" A tiny voice called from behind Chuuya and he could only laugh, pressing his lips on Shuuji's forehead.
"Satisfied?" He asked with a chuckle. "Osamu, don't you start."
"Tche. Good night Chibi, Shuuji too."
"Night Mom, Dad, Fumi."
