Work Text:
He moved around in the sheets, it was hot, summer was coming and he was thinking about changing the sheets, he turned off the alarm, turned around and didn't see his partner at his side, he was probably already preparing breakfast, today they had a meeting with all the captains and vice captains, he had to give some recommendations, he didn't want to go but there was no other way.
It wasn't a job he could give to the heavenly kings
Nirei and Suo already had a lot of work, Kiryu and Tsugeura weren't there because of the former's jealousy and Sugishita well...he wouldn't do it anyway.
The belly was not very noticeable yet but if you looked closely you would see a bulging belly, he was already 6 months old, his puppy was growing healthy according to the doctor, he had to be careful but even he was surprised to see how strong and healthy he was even though in the first 4 months he continued to fight, not as much as in his first year but when required, even so when his friends found out that she was expecting a Kaji puppy, they made sure to take care of him... a lot... in the first months they treated him as if he had a terminal illness, he explained that it was not necessary, but they continued to take care of him anyway, deep down he felt good... knowing that he was surrounded by good people
—"Hey Sakura, how did you wake up?" He saw his partner at the door leaning on the frame, he was wearing a kitchen apron, maybe he had already finished
—"I was just thinking a little, nothing important"
—"So, tell me what it was that had you so distracted" Kaji put his hands on his omega's swollen belly, caressing it gently
—"Just about the things I had to report today and that, you also have to think about the beach custom that Umemiya always talked about"
—"Ahhh, he insisted on doing it right?
—Yes... even though I told him not to, he said we should keep the tradition" He snorted while continuing to look at the older one.
—"Well I'll help you with that, I'll also ask Hiragi for some advice" He looked him in the eyes now standing up while uncovering the younger one
—"It's not necessary Kaji, I already know how to do those things" With help he sat down while he saw how the other brought his clothes
—"You know that I will help you anyway"
—"Well, then what did you prepare?"
—"Omurice with some fruits, toast and vegetable juice"
— "Noooo, you know I hate vegetables, God there isn't a day that I don't eat vegetables and now you're ruining my breakfast, great" she got up to start changing and fixing her hair
—"You know you have to eat vegetables, it's good for the baby, doctor's orders." She reached out to grab his waist while wrapping her arms around his belly.
— "No, leave me, baby and I, we're mad at you." She began to squirm to get away but couldn't get out of the strong grip.
— "It doesn't seem to me that the baby is angry, look, he's actually kicking."
— "Traitor, I'm the one who is carrying him and he doesn't give me support, I give up." He pouted while the puppy gave light blows to his stomach.
— "Hahajsjsj, fine, finish changing and come down" she only heard a statement while she was talking to the baby and why she should listen to him and not Kaji.
Breakfast ended well, now he was on the roof of the school while he watched Sugishita water the extensive garden that was formed in recent years
Some were still from Umemiya but most were from the new ones, the first one had asked him to take care of them and there he was now.
Although he didn't like to admit it, Sakura knew that he was also there to take care of him if he needed something, the black-haired omega upon hearing the news his reaction was different, he didn't show happiness but they knew that he was when the next day they saw him behind him while he was doing a light patrol around the area, his only explanation was 'I'm just going to make sure the baby is okay, you're very reckless'
From there he was always with someone, if it wasn't him, it was Nirei, Suo, Tsugeura, Kiryuu or someone. Kaji was with him sometimes but his University classes had started, after discussing it a bit, he decided to change it to virtual, Sakura insisted that it wasn't necessary and that it would be fine, but well in the end it wasn't possible.
They were still young and were aware of that, a bad heat cycle brought them both to this situation, at first he was scared he even thought about leaving the city so as not to ruin Kaji's life but... well things happened and now he is here, with his friends, his partner and very soon a family with his puppy.
—"Hey!" He looked up to see Sugishita growling as he looked at him
—"What?" He tried to stop but the black-haired omega quickly stopped him, instead he sat down
—"You're distracted, is something wrong with the puppy?"
—"No....I was just thinking a little" He looked at the other and let out a sigh, maybe it's not so bad - "It's just that...in these last few months a lot of things have happened, when the year started I didn't think it would end like this, I'm happy you know but at the same time I'm scared I don't know if this baby really wanted a mother like me or if I'll really be able to do it, sometimes...sometimes I wish this child didn't have my appearance, or my aggressive attitude, or my eyes, I want him to look like Kaji, I don't want him to have to suffer the same as me, I don't want him to experience the blows...he humiliates them..." In an instant he had a hand on his mouth, he looked up and saw the angry brown eyes, he was going to say something but the other one got ahead of him
—"Shut up, shut up!" He saw how the tallest one stood up and was now in front of him.
—"What the hell are you saying? Are you even aware of the shit you're spouting? Stop talking nonsense. Kaji knows that you've been thinking this?!"
He was definitely angry
—“What...no, and don't even think about telling him, he's already stressed enough, I only told you this”
—“Sakura, you are the leader of Bofurin, you faced the Noroshi people, you became someone very worthy of following, day after day I hear how everyone praises the current leader of Furin, you are the admiration of many, before many people believed that omegas were not good for fighting or that they were even weak but look at you, you broke with that scheme, an omega leading many alphas and betas
Don't say stupid things like 'I don't want him to look like me', you have many incredible qualities even Umemiya-san recognized it that's why he named you the leader, you are the second person I follow and respect, you have friends who are willing to protect you and that baby if someone decides to do something to them, you have Kaji and you know how much he talks about the baby with Hiragi and the others, he has the "I hope it's a good combination of both, but I emphasize that I would like him to have your eyes, Umemiya-san and Tsubaki-san are determined to be his godparents and you have me Sakura, if at any point you are afraid of not loving the baby enough, I will make you love him even by hitting him, just like when I hit you so you would confess to Kaji."
Sakura widened her eyes and felt tears fall, she didn't know that Sugishita thought all that, yes, their relationship had improved, their friendship, sometimes they even went out with the whole group, god he even invited him to his house when he became the leader to give him a personalized jacket, he was really a fool, those times when he didn't know what his place was no longer existed, now he was here with his family.
He was going to speak but again the black-haired man got ahead of him and grabbed him by the shoulders
—"Listen Sakura, I know it's hard, what you lived through isn't easy to forget but you're doing well, and you have us, no one will hurt your baby and if they dared to do it, not only Furin the entire city would defend him"
Sakura just hugged him tightly while she continued to shed tears
Damn hormones.
—"Thank you, really thank you" It seemed like little but she knew it was a lot considering that Sugishita rarely let someone touch him or even speak first.
They stayed like that for a while until Sakura's cell phone started ringing, they separated and he answered
—"Hello?"
—"Sakura, are you okay? Something sounds strange to you. Did something happen to the baby, do you need me to go?" Through the call she could hear Kaji getting up from the desk
—"No, it's not necessary, Sugishita is here with me, we were just talking about our first year that's all"
—"Are you sure?"
—"Yes, I promise." He looked at Sugishita and he made a funny expression making him laugh a little.
—"Okay, then I'll stop by to leave you lunch in a little while longer."
—"Yes, that's okay," they said goodbye and hung up.
—"So remembering the first year eh"
— "You know that if he told him the truth he would be here in a second, along with the other boys" he saw how he just nodded and stood up to water the plants again.
—"Sugishita" - The highest turn —"Can I ask you a favor?" He watched as he made a confused face.
—"Sakura?"
The blond saw his omega with several bags in his hand so he quickly approached to help carry him
—"May I ask what all this is and weren't you supposed to be at school...?"
—"Well I asked Sugishita for help to take care of it, I decided to come and rest a little, on the way some first year students accompanied me by his order and while we were walking many ladies gave me a gift just for letting them pet the baby" he explained with a warm smile as he lowered his gaze and put his hand on his belly
—"So that happened... Well it seems that you didn't have such a bad time"
—"No, everything very comfortable, Suo and Nirei sent me a message saying that all the matters of this week were already resolved, so I will have lighter days"
He saw Kaji smile as they both headed to his house.
They may still have many problems to resolve, such as the baby's name and who the godparents would be.
But she had time, with Kaji at her side and her friends she had everything.
