The moonlight leaked through the curtains and the apartment was quiet and peaceful. The two lovers slept cuddled together, without a care in the world with smiles on their faces. Each had pleasant dreams gracing their subconscious until a shrill cry interrupted it.

The couple jolted awake; eyes widened in alarm. "I forgot we have a baby." Dazai mumbled and smiled. "That's because he didn't come out of you." f/n retorted while getting up and rushing to the bawling child in the other room.

The toddler, barely 2 weeks old, had his e/c eyes screwed tight from anguish and brown hair rumpled from tossing and turning. Dazai walked forward and picked up the squishy baby and attacked his plump cheeks with a flurry of kisses....... which agitated the child and caused him to hit his father with his tiny fist.

"Who's the cutest little-OW h-how do you even hit so hard?! Your nothing but meat! I was loving you! I gave you kisses! You hit me! Apologize now." The baby did no such thing but gurgled and slipped into deep sleep as Dazai gently rocked him but not without a giggle to which Dazai was deeply offended by. He brought the baby to the half-asleep mother who smiled at the exchange and said, "He's your child alright. I love him and he laughs at my pain."

"It's not my fault your face looks like that. Even our child agrees." She said with a laugh to which he pouted, "Meanie." He opened his arms in bed and she snuggled in his chest with their child sleeping in between them. f/n draped her arm over the small chest with a bandaged arm under her head and the other bandaged arm covering them with a duvet before placing it on f/n. Simple silver rings glinting in the dark on the couple's ring fingers. F/n smiles noting how her husband is admiring their toddler.

"What's wrong?"

"He's beautiful." The toddler let out a "ah" as if saying 'I know' while a line of saliva travelled down his round chin. F/n laughed and Dazai turned to look at her and said, "Just like you."

"Mhm. You're the one who looks like he drank angel tears instead of his mother's milk."

"Oh, you didn't know? My dad was an angel."

"Sure, and your mother was the devil. You look like an angel; you don't act like one. Kunikida-san had his third aneurysm this week."

Dazai chuckled and went silent. "Goodnight Osamu," f/n yawns and slowly slips into the throws of sleep. "Goodnight, moonlight. And goodnight to you too,

little Odasaku."
