The sight of Sanzu and the little guy cuddling greeted you when you opened your eyes. You noticed that the bags of clothes were now gone and you checked the closet, seeing the clothes now folded neatly beside yours. No doubt Sanzu did all that. It was still a bit early but you were already wide awake so you got up and took a quick shower before preparing breakfast.

Sanzu came in the kitchen with his hair still in a mess and yawned before grabbing a piece of bacon. He kissed the top of your head first before devouring it, taking a seat on one of the stools beside the counter with his eyes closed.

You raised an eyebrow at him and shook your head a little. The two of you aren't even together yet he always acts like it and you let him.

Why do you even let him?

"Go take a shower first and get ready if you want to go with us. I'm taking the kid to get his papers changed, I'm...adopting him." You tell Sanzu, not even sure if he's still awake. "After that, I'm taking him to get his eyes checked."

"I told Mochi to get some info on the kid and his adoptive parents. He called me at like...three in the morning? Anyway, I've got his adoptive parents tied up in a warehouse. Unfortunately, the other kids are already dead."

Your body turned cold at the last sentence and you spun around to face him. "What did they do to the kids?"

"A lot of unspeakable things..." Sanzu mutters, opening his eyes to look at you. "I'll handle all the paperwork and everything so don't worry about that. Just tell me what you want to name him and what his birthdate is. What's wrong with his eyes, by the way? Why do you want to get them checked?"

"Well, I have to ask the little guy what name he prefers and his birthdate as well if he even knows that." You answered, turning off the stove. "As for his eyes, I think he has a condition and he might turn blind soon if he doesn't get proper medical attention."

"If he doesn't know his birthdate, it'll show up in in the investigation so it's fine if he doesn't know." Sanzu tapped his fingers on the table and thought to himself for a while. "You think it's possible for him to get surgery?"

"I don't know, Sanzu." You sigh, frowning a little. "I hope there's still a chance to save his eyesight."

Breakfast was good and you finally asked the little boy what name he preferred. He was a bit shy about it at first and he even looked a little mad because he probably felt embarrassed of the name he wanted.

You assured him that it was all fine and that no one would pick on him for his name even though you had no clue what it is.

"Y-You can call me Ichigo..." He murmured softly as he played with his fingers. "I heard that name on the telly once...I like it."

"Ichigo..." You spoke softly, smiling at the sight of his flushed cheeks. "That's a lovely name."

"Th-Thank you..."

There was a short silence and you made eye contact with Sanzu who just smiled before he resumed eating, observing how you interact with the kid.

"Do you..." You started, feeling nervous of what Ichigo's reaction might be to your question. "... want to call me mama?"

Ichigo stared at you for a few seconds and you notice his eyes started watering and his lips frowned as if to stop himself from crying. To your surprise, he nodded.
