Work Text:
Fuyumi had been pestering them about going out and leaving Haru with her over the weekend, as it worked out with all their schedules. Their mom had also been urging them to as she also wanted to have a day with the baby. He was a bit over a year old and they felt like they were missing the best parts of him.
Keigo doesn’t blame them, as Rei had been warning them that things will change when he’s 4 and will be rebellious outrunning them. He loves spending time with him most when he plays, sleeps and crawls.
Keigo had also been wanting to take Touya out for a while, like before they were married and would go everywhere together. Give each other gifts, stay up all night together, pass out in each others arms.
He missed his alone time with his husband.
“I already put two pairs of clothes in his bag. Do you think I should give them the onsie with the zipper or the buttons? Or both? In case it gets cold.” Keigo holds the set of baby clothes up to Touya.
“Is he getting too big for them? When do babies- or kids, stop wearing onesies?” Touya questions, putting toys in the ever growing baby bag on the bed.
“I’ll put both in just in case.”
Haru has been over to Fuyumi’s before even Rei’s and Natsuo’s. But it’s always been while Touya and Keigo were there and just for hours at a time. He’s never slept overnight at anyone else’s, only other place was the hospital when he was born but that hardly counts.
“How many bottles should we give her? How long will we be out?” Touya asks, holding three different colored bottles in his hands.
“If we’re trying to wean him off the bottles maybe just give a supply cup, but one just in case he gives her a hard time.” The blonde answers, getting a nod from the other as he walks to the other side of Haru’s room grabbing one. “-also we agreed to let him spend the night as Fuyumi’s soooo…”
Keigo drags off looking at Touya, who pouts at him sighing. “-okay yeah I already know we’ll be having sex when we get back- but if we’re done before it gets too late, maybe we can pick him up.”
Keigo can’t help but laugh a little at how anxious Touya is, he’s never scared or nervous. “He’ll be fine, you’re moms going to be with her. Also, ouch- I know I’m getting rusty but damn. Pushing me aside so soon.” He fakes being hurt, putting his hand over his heart, closing his eyes.
Touya groans, apologizing as he zips up the baby bag completely full. “I’m sorry, I know he’ll be fine, and you know I love having sex with you.”
“Even if we’ve gotten sloppy?” Keigo asks, putting his head on Touya’s shoulder.
They hadn’t gotten sloppy exactly, but ever since Haru had learned to walk they had noticed how much energy began to drain from them. Both instead of going out or being intimate would just stay home and cuddle, watching cartoons with Haru.
They’d even started watching cartoons they watched when they were younger to entertain Haru. Embarrassingly in a kid pen when they were really tired, child proofing everything in case one of them fell asleep, or got a quick burst of energy and would speed around the house. Which Touya blames Keigo for because he knows he’s never been that fast at any point in his life running.
“Being sloppy makes it fun, it’s like we’re embarrassed virgins all over again.” Touya nips at the blonde's exposed ear, yelping and jumping back.
“Aaaah!” Keigo pouts, rubbing his ear.
“Daah-dad!” They hear heavy quick feet running to them, excited to hear what was going on in his room.
“Sorry buddy, we’re not playing. It’s time for you to go to your auntie though!” The blonde exclaims trying to keep up the energy distracting him, from Touya grabbing his overnight bag walking out.
“Hup-up!” Haru reaches his arms up at his dad jumping, and Keigo’s heart once again soars as he once again becomes a parent picking him up. Feeling him shake from laughing and screaming, squeezing him.
Maybe Touya is actually going to handle being without Haru for the night a lot better than Keigo, as he walks Haru to the living room putting his small shoes on. Keigo can admit they’re both protective of him, but Keigo spoils more.
Not just Haru but Touya as well, he just expresses himself more. He can’t help not wanting to give his loved ones everything they want, or anything he can give them that he didn’t or couldn’t have before.
“Alright, let’s go!” He tosses Haru up catching him, before hearing Touya yell out.
“I've told you to stop that! He’ll throw up!”
—
“There’s my nephew!” Fuyumi exclaims snatching Haru from Keigo as they enter her apartment. Spinning him around both of them giggling as she lifts him up in the air. “Aww, babies give me baby fever.”
“Fuyumi!” Rei exclaims, getting a laugh from the couple as Touya hands the baby bag to his mom.
“-mom! Come on, look at him!”
“-anyways…” Touya looks at his mom. “We’re trying to get Haru to stop using his bottles, so he can use cups now just in case he starts spilling there’s a sippy cup in there. We haven’t started potty training so he is wearing a diaper, he’s started drinking juices- if he’s going to eat anything hard it has to be at the table he’s been making messes-.”
Rei turns her attention from Touya who’s still talking to Keigo, who instantly reads the look ‘I’ve raised four kids, I don’t need my kid telling me how to.’ He immediately wraps his arm around Touya’s backing them away, as Fuyumi continues to play with Haru.
“-okay! But he also just ate and he will throw up if you play too much or go too fast on him-!”
“What-?” Fuyumi is cut off hearing a wet burp come from over her. As he regurgitates a small amount, falling on her and himself. “-oh my- mom!”
Keigo closes the door behind them, Touya groans huffing out. “That would’ve been you 10 minutes ago, I told you he has a sensitive stomach.”
“He gets it from you dove . Sadly, she’ll be over her baby fever by tonight.” The blonde states, getting a reaction out of his husband slapping his arm with no ill-intent.
“Alright, where did you want us to go first?”
—
“How is this a date night if it’s with family?”
“Shoto and Natsuo recommended this place, and I went ahead and told them we were doing this so…” He drags on smiling shrugging his arms, leading the way into the restaurant.
Touya wants to be mad, but Keigo was an only child who never got attention as a kid. Touya was always the one having to stop his husband from making big family plans, as he never had one and wanted the full experience. After having Haru he would slip out that he didn’t want Haru to be lonely and wanted maybe one or two more kids. Also how he was excited for one of the other Todoroki family members to have a kid so he can be called ‘Uncle Keigo’ .
“Where’s Haru?” Shoto asks, looking at the couple, grabbing his side of rice.
“He’s with your mom and sister right now, we’re going out for the next 24 hours.” Keigo jokes stealing a piece of spicy chicken from his husband's plate.
“I’m surprised you guys are finally doing a date night, I would’ve thought you’d take Haru out on them. You guys can’t go anywhere without him.”
“Touya said you take Haru to the restroom without you at home.” Shoto states, looking at the blonde who chokes.
“You told them?!”
“ No! I told Natsuo who had me on speaker!”
Shoto and Natsuo look at each other smiling. “Being parents have made you guys embarrassing.”
“Made you guys weird.” The youngest adds.
“At least I didn’t fall asleep in his crib with him.”
“At least I don’t baby talk in public.”
“At least I don’t make airplane noises and eat baby food while feeding him.”
“It was the only way to make him eat his greens…”
“I know, I’m sorry.” The couple looks at the two brothers snickering, whispering to themselves.
“Whatever, just wait until you guys have kids. You’ll never have sex again.” Touya steals a piece of teriyaki from Natsuo's plate.
“Hey!”
“Natsuo, your girlfriend is going to have the weirdest cravings.”
“She’ll never let you touch her again.”
“Natsuo’s baby is going to come out weight 5 pounds.” Shoto adds turning on his brother. Whose ears go red with them all looking at him.
“ Gods- o-okay guys! Jeez- we’re not even married yet!”
“Don’t have to be married to have a kid.”
“Condoms are only 98 percent effective.”
“How often do you guys have sex?”
“Please stop!”
—
Touya could admit he enjoyed eating with his brothers, it was only 7pm and they still had the entire night free. Which felt so strange, it had been a while since they truly had free time.
“Okay so…I wanted us to go shopping but I saw that there was a new slasher movie playing and since we’re just a 5 minute away from the theater. We can shop along the way.”
“How romantic.”
“It’s been a while, I’ll truly woo you next time.”
“Sure.”
Regardless of how romantic it truly was neither could deny they had a good time. They passed jewelry shops where Touya had brought new piercings and Hawks bracelets, getting a pair of matching earrings to both wear.
Even though they had just eaten once they passed a boba shop Keigo had to go in because of the heart shaped cups they had for February. It was just too cute and they had limited Valentine's Day themed drinks.
“I can’t believe you’re still hungry.”
“I’m not hungry , but I can never turn down food.” He admits, taking a sip of his pink romantic themed drink.
“You should be careful, we’re not as active as we were before.” Touya warns lightly grabbing at his husbands hips, earning a quick jump away from him.
“Ahh! Touya you’re never so into PDA!”
“That was barely PDA, but it’s true.” Touya crosses his arm taking the lead in their walk. “-it’s a good thing we’re walking though, I feel like I still have soft thighs…”
“My favorite part, not to mention the pecs.”
“You’re so weird.”
“Well I love the softness on you.”
“Fine, same with you.” His husband compliments continuing their walk leaving Keigo to think, has he gotten softer?
Sure Touya gave actual birth so he had hips to really hold now, as well as more on his chest and thighs, Keigo loved that. He loved having more to hold.
Himself however.
He didn’t really have an excuse, they both worked and raised Haru equally. So how had Keigo also lost some muscle and gained weight, without at all having to give birth. Looking at Touya as he sips his drink he looks him up and down as they walk, he looks…the same.
What the fuck.
“Do you think I’m fat?”
Oh. He didn't mean to ask that aloud, the white haired man looking at him surprised.
“No…?”
“Why do you say it like a question?”
“What? No- I just- why are you asking? You look good.”
“I have gained weight though…” He looks down at his drink and pulls it from his lips, pouting at it.
“Hey- so you gained a few pounds. Everyone gains happy weight- not to mention having less time to work out. It’s harder for full time parents with a baby and full time jobs.” Touya says sincerely, taking his hand in an attempt to comfort him.
“It doesn't make sense though- it looks like you’re going back to your pre-pregnancy body too.”
“Kei, we both know that my body isn’t normal , it’s harder for me to keep weight, especially muscle. Even with Haru I had to keep eating protein bars to try and keep up with him.” Keigo can’t help but laugh, Haru most definitely has his appetite.
It was different for Touya after all he’d always been on the smaller side especially as a kid, being the oldest yet the shortest even now. Just slightly taller than Fuyumi even Keigo by just a centimeter, he’s always been slim and lean. Taking much more after his mother than father.
“So you still find me attractive?” He can’t help but ask, swinging their still intertwined hands as they walk.
“Keigo, I am looking forward to your dad-bod. More to manhandle and get manhandled by .”
He forgets how easily they could boost each other's confidence and bounce off on one another. They eventually get to the theater and it’s surprisingly not busy, most likely due to much more popular superhero movies playing that people decide to go to instead.
They stop to get drinks and snacks as they get their seats, preferably at the very top, as the blonde prefers to get a view of everything and everyone. Keigo knew it would be gore filled and he had no problem with that, Touya loved horror and slasher even if it was a campy comically bad movie.
It was about halfway through the movie where he’s leaning his head onto his husband with his feet up on the seat in front of him, with no one in said row thankfully. When he hears Touya’s allergies suddenly take over, sniffling and feeling him move his arm to rub his nose. He wraps his arm around the others rubbing it, it sucked that his immune system worked against him at the worst times.
The sniffling continues however and Touya’s rubbing his eyes, turning he sees Touya crying. Panicked concern immediately shoots through him sitting up, looking around to see if anyone had done anything, but they were the only ones in the first two rows.
“What's wrong? Are you okay?” He asked in hushed worried whispers, no way the movie was making him cry.
“I’m fine .” He says quietly, rubbing both his eyes down to his cheeks in an attempt to wipe any tears left.
He is definitely not fine.
It may have been dark but Touya could feel Keigo’s eyes burning into his skull, knowing he’s lying.
“Ugh- I miss him….” He whispered sniffling, crossing his arms, sinking back into his seat bringing his knees up.
“Who?” He’s dumbfounded, was this about the character in the movie?
“Haru!” He exclaims as quietly as he can, taking his sleeve wiping the tears still making their way out frowning.
Seeing Touya uncontrollably frown and cry reminded him of Haru, how he reacted with his emotions instead of his words. He’d never seen Touya cry in public before, so it was rare to see him cry, period. But seeing him not be able to control his feelings regarding their son, it hurt.
Keigo couldn’t help but feel guilt, either because he wasn't reacting the same way or because they were somewhere without their son. Not to mention the fact that Touya had been silently crying as all Keigo could do was rub his arm in an attempt to get him to stop. Getting up he grabs his husband's hand leading them out. “Come on.”
There’s no protest or argument from the other, he just follows him out of the theater and they take the back exit to leave. Pulling out his phone he sends a quick text to Fuyumi and Rei, it was almost 9 so they were most likely still awake, he couldn’t say the same for their son.
Keigo: Ending the night early I’m not feeling good :(
Keigo: We’ll be picking Haru up in 15 minutes
Keigo: Sorry!
“The car is about a 10 minute walk. It won't take long to get to your sisters.” Keigo looks down at his sent texts seeing the read notification under them.
“We don't have to go back.” Touya says tiredness lacing his words as he crosses his arms.
“I know, but you're sad and I don't want to see you sad.” The ever at the end is unsaid but with Keigo’s persistent protectiveness over his husband it doesn't need to be said.
Touya doesn’t argue guilt growing inside him as they walk to the parked car at the restaurant they originally had dinner at. Getting in they make their way over to Fuyumi’s to pick up Haru. “Sorry I ruined date night.”
“You didn’t ruin it, I liked it.”
“I started crying during a gross slasher movie.”
“True, but it was still nice. We had dinner, saw your brothers, and went shopping. We hadn’t been out that long together in one day in a long time.” Keigo defends Touya smiling at him, even in a dark car he can see his blinding grin.
Once they got to Fuyumi’s, Touya had offered to go in as Keigo had taken the fall for him faking ill. Touya knocked on her door just to be met with a tired irritated looking version of his once enthusiastic sister. Her glasses with finger prints on them, wet stains on her shirt, disheveled hair, looking completely worn out.
“What happened?” He asked, surprised by her appearance. Only time she looks like that is whenever there’s a family get together and it goes horribly wrong. As she walks around collecting all Haru’s items thrown about her apartment.
“He wouldn’t stop crying.” His mom walks in holding Haru’s hand who is tapping his feet against the floor rapidly seeing his dad.
“Here.” Fuyumi hands him the baby bag they had given her completely full of his belongings.
“-apa!!” Haru clumsily runs over grabbing Touya’s leg, gripping it, turning to lead him to the door.
“You guys need to take him out more. He’s not used to being in new places for so long.” His mom explains to him with a tired look matching his sisters, who’s thrown herself onto the sofa.
Huh.
Touya wants to laugh but he holds it in, thanking them for watching Haru. Walking him and his son out to the car where his husband sat waiting for them scrolling on his phone. “He’s still awake?!”
“Yeah, he wouldn’t let them rest.”
“Oh no…” Keigo looks at Haru who’s happily smiling at them sitting himself down in his seat as Touya buckles him up.
“Dad-!” He exclaims reaching a hand out for Keigo, who in return reaches back to tickle his stomach, both of them laughing.
“You’ll rile him up.”
“He’s riling me up.”
“Why wasn’t he sleeping anyway?”
“They told me he wouldn’t stop crying and that we need to take him out more.” Touya says, holding back a laugh, until he hears Keigo bark out laughing.
“Really? Wow.” Keigo tried to cover his mouth with his hand as he drove, a grin growing underneath. “So you two are connected.”
“Hm?”
“Haru and you, or you’re clairvoyant which I still think. You can be a bit too spot on about things. Both of you are crying for each other.” The blonde teases, receiving a dirty look from the other.
“Shut up.”
“It’s cute, I like it.”
“Whatever.” Touya says exasperatedly slumping into his seat, he wouldn’t admit it but Keigo was right it is kind of cute and funny. It was the irony of it all.
“Something good came out of it.”
“What?”
“Well Haru just fell asleep in the back.”
“That is good.”
“We also have a third wheel on our dates now.”
It didn’t sound so bad to Touya who let Keigo continue to amuse him. “Where can we take a 1 year old?”
“We should take Haru on a picnic, to a lake, he’s never too young to learn to skate.”
