It was the weekend, meaning no work and no daycare center for the twins. He had barely walked into the boy's room when they started shouting what they wanted to do. "I wanna go to the playground!" Michi said as he wiggled from side to side. "I wanna go to the aquarium though!" Ryu said as he looked at Michi. "I the youngest! I get what I want!" Michi said and Felix rolled his eyes with a laugh. "When did that crazy rule happen?" Felix asks as he scoops up Michi and laid on the twin's bed.

Michi's laugh quickly made themselves present as Felix started tickling him, Ryu following in suit with claps. Felix smiled and stopped tickling him but started pampering him with kisses everywhere on the young boy's face. "You and your weird rule-making mind," Felix said as he laid on his back and held the giggling boy close to his chest. Ryu quickly moved to get on the bed and snuggled close to Felix who rested a hand near his head, the older one's head. A few minutes ticked by and the three eventually calmed down. "Do you both want to go to an aquarium? I think one of them has a playground," Felix said as he sat up.

The twins had a small discussion before nodding their heads in agreement. "Yeah, fishy time!" Ryu said and Felix smiled. "Can I match with you?" Ryu asks which surprised Felix. "My tough boy wants to match with me," Felix said with a delighted gasp who nodded his head. "Yeah! Matchy-Matchy~!" Ryu sang and wiggled in a circle causing his little brother to push him over as he laughed.

"The shark was so cool! It went, zoom and then zoom, and then zoomie!"

Felix chuckled at Ryu who ran around him as he spoke about their fun day at the aquarium. Michi was passed out in his arms and was surprisingly unbothered by his brother's rambling. "Someone enjoyed it, mhm?" Felix said as Ryu stopped in front of him. "Yeah! And tank chu for Mr. Sharkie," He said as he helped up the new favorite toddler's aquatic animal. "You're welcome," Felix said and ruffled his hair.

The elevator opened and the two stepped inside, Felix adjusting how he held the toddler and gently held his head. "Papà, what are we having for dinner?" Ryu asks as he shoves his face into Felix's leg. Felix thought as he took out his phone. "I don't know yet," Felix answered as he opened the camera app and took a picture of the weird boy. "I'll figure it out in a bit." Ryu nodded his head and turned his head, his cheek pressing against the adult's leg.

The doors opened and Felix used his free hand to gently push Ryu in front and followed behind. They got to their door and Felix took out his keys, taking his time finding the key to the apartment. As he pushed the key into the lock and twisted, someone greeted him.

"Hello!"

Felix turned his head with wide eyes before he relaxed and smiled at the young kid. "Hi, are your parents okay with you being out here?" Felix asks as he unlocked the door and twisted the doorknob. "Yeah! I'm your next-door neighbor and I just wanted to say you're really handsome," She said with a big smile. Felix smiled back as he pushed the door open, Ryu running inside and taking his shoes off before continuing his journey to the living room couch. "Thank you, you are adorable," Felix said and she smiled brightly, showing one of her missing front teeth. "You have a nice day," She said and Felix stated, "you as well."

She ran off back to her apartment. Felix watched her enter before he entered his own and closed the door behind him. He took his shoes off and the extra movement woke Michi. "How was your nap?" Felix asks as he squats down to put Michi on the floor to remove his shoes. The 3-year-old only hummed as he rubbed his eyes, holding his arms up after doing so to be picked up. "Do you like your stingray?" Felix asks as he takes out the stuffed animal from under the toddler's shirt.

Michi hummed and grabbed it, squeezing it and hugging it. "Cutie," Felix said and picked him up for more snuggles. "Ryu, let's stay in the living room," Felix said as he watched the toddler about to walk to their bedroom. "Okay! Can we put on octonaunts?" Ryu asks and Felix chuckles. "Yes, but don't try to wake your brother up," Felix said as he adjusted how he was sitting and laughed softly at how limp his son went. "He funny," Ryu said and Felix laughed again. "He is," Felix said and adjusted how Michi was laying before taking a quick picture.

Felix turned on the TV and watched the 3-year-old get distracted instantly and sing the theme song to the educational show while Felix made the youngest comfortable and warm; thinking about what to do for dinner.
