Chapter 6

————————
In which Keigo reveals a secret.
————————

The next few days between the former couple were awkward to say the least. At least once a day, Touya would drop by and help Keigo with baby preparations. Wether that be with the nursery or going shopping for clothes and diapers, he was just happy to be back in his child's life. Keigo wasn't as happy but was slowly warming up to having him around again. And today, he was going to take a big step by letting him know what gender their baby would be.

Touya came over around lunch time like normal. Keigo was already seated on the couch with a basket full of clean baby onesies and other clothes. He had bought mostly neutral clothing. There being one exception that he had bought on his own. That being how he was going to tell the other. He thought it was around time that Touya knew since he was due in a little less than three months from now. He smiled a little as he heard the front door open, leaning back a little to see if it was the scarred villain or someone else. A small smile forming when he realized it was.

Keigo had been warming up slightly in the past few weeks. It being good to have someone around most of the time since Rumi was at work to cover for his missed time. He slowly got himself up off the couch and walked over to where the other was. The bump, and weight of it, had started to give him a cute little waddle. Humming softly as he rested a hand on top of his belly.
"Hey. Thanks for coming over." He spoke to Touya. The male in question nodded and set a bag down by the door.

"Hey. I grabbed what you wanted me to from the store. I'm assuming it's for those damn cravings since.... no sane person would want fucking peanut butter and pickles together in one meal." Touya chuckled softly before taking his boots off. Not wanting to take mud into the other's clean apartment. Keigo gave a small happy chirping noise at the news that his food was here, squatting a little to take the bag from the floor.
"Thank you, Touya." He said softly before taking it to the kitchen. The scarred villain sighed.
"I could've gotten it. I'm sure you were on your feet most of the day already." He said softly.

That was the thing. Touya had honestly become worried for the other. After reading up on excessive activity can cause early labor and sometimes miscarriage. And he definitely did not want him to go through that.
"I'm fine, Touya. It's not even that heavy." He said softly. Exhaling before he set the bag onto the counter.

"I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about being on your feet. Go sit down, I'll put it away. I used to live here remember? And unless you did some serious remodeling, I know where everything is." Touya said sternly as he came into the kitchen and took the bag away from him. Keigo gave a soft smirk.

"Oh yeah? And what're you gonna do if I don't listen?" He crossed his arms.
"I'll make you." The older said as he opened the cupboard to put the peanut butter away.
"No I don't think you will..." Keigo teased. Touya glanced over his shoulder to look at him. Smirking before shaking his head. "What? What's so funny?"
"Nothing... Don't worry about it." Touya responded before putting the pickles away. Keigo gave a small pout.
"Tell me!" He whined a little.
"You really wanna know what I was thinking?" Touya said leaning against the countertop.

Keigo put his hands on his hips.
"I wouldn't be asking if I didn't want to know." He said as he waited for the other to speak.
"Alright..." Touya sighed putting his hands up in mock defeat. "I was just thinking, this was how you used to act when we were together. And that it was cute." He said softly. Keigo froze up a little. His feathers ruffled a little as a red blush spread into his face.
