Matsu was at this point dropping in and out of sleep on top of yumas head which was a very adorable sight to watch. The weight dips were what made Yuma know how tired Matsu actually was.
"Sleepy bud?"
Matsu didn't answer as the weight had finally subsided and a heavier weight was now constant showing that Matsu had finally fallen asleep accompanied by light snores.
After placing the basket full of potatoes in the kitchen Yuma grabbed some wipes and started to take the boy back to his room.
As they arrived Yuma took the sleeping Matsu into his bathroom and placed him carefully on a blanket/mat on the floor to change his nappy, after changing Matsu Yuma picked him back up, this time on his side and wiped down his arms clearing the remaining soil off before walking back to his bedroom.
Yuma decided to place Matsu in the centre and surrounded him with pillows acting as a barrier so he won't topple over. Yuma removed azusas shirt from Matsu and used one of his jumpers that was lying round to act as a blanket to keep him warm.
However just as Yuma was about to leave Matsu started hysterically crying.
Turning around Yuma sees Matsu sat up clutching onto his makeshift blanket and started wailing reaching one of his hands out towards Yuma.
"Y-Yuuuma" he cried
"Ey! what's wrong?" Yuma asked panicked rushing back to Matsu taking the boy back in his arms.
"Hey um calm down ,I'm here?" Yuma said very uncertain bouncing the boy out of sync causing his cries to louden.
This was the point that Yuma actually realised that Matsu was still a baby and he has no idea of what to do.

"Yuma?...what's..wrong..with..Matsu?" Azusa asked walking into the room to spot the two.
"I don't know he just stared cryin?" Yuma replied quickly truing to shush the boy.
"Your not bouncing him right" to that Yuma stopped now seeing Ruki who had teleported into the room holding two bags.

"Rock him slower" this in turn made the bounces more in sync and caused the boys crying to quieten down slightly.
However Matsu's continuing cries did worry the three in the room,
"Here" Ruki rummaged through one of the bags and pulled out a pack of dummys (pacifiers) and took one out. Walking over to the boy who had fully hidden himself in Yuma's neck.
"Hey Matsu" Ruki called out next to the boy who very hesitantly turned slightly to look at Ruki with the corner of his eye, "I've got you something" he said once again now holding the dummy to Matsu's mouth, and he instantly turned fully and took it in his mouth causing his loud cries to stop. Matsu then went back to ostriching himself back into yumas neck cuddling him close not wanting to let him go.

"Is...he..going...to.be..ok?" Azusa asked looking over to the little boy

"What happened?" Ruki demanded concerned for the boy.

"He fell asleep so I brought him here then started crying out of nowhere" Yuma explained quietly.

"Maybe..he's....scared..of being...alone" Azusa says looking down to his scar covered hands.

"Azusa's probably right, he could have freaked out by being alone"

"I didn't even leave the room though?" Yuma tried to point out.

"-sigh-are you okay with staying with him?" Ruki asked
"Yeah I suppose" Yuma said now stroking Matsu's back soothingly.
Matsu by this point was almost back asleep with his grip loosening on Yuma the other two saw this as a sign and teleported away.
"Your an absolute handful you know" but yumas muttering went on deaths ears as matsu had let himself fall into a deep slumber the dummy in his mouth being a big aid with soothing the boy by lulling him back to sleep.
Holding onto the sleeping boy in his arm Yuma moved over to his bed and removed his previous cushion barriers sliding himself on to his bed carefully placing the boy into a more comfortable position however still being in yumas arms.
Pulling the duvet over himself and Matsu, the boy cuddled more into yumas arm smiling softly and letting his dummy slightly slip from his mouth.
'So fussy, I might as well go for a nap looking after a kid is exhausting' were yumas last thoughts before he fell asleep holding the warm boy close.
