Burnt Out || Rengoku Kyojiro x Tomioka Giyuu

[11] Giyuu... Rengoku???

They uhm have a passionate little kiss but nothing goes farther than that because- Children- Uhm anyways.

It had been a couple of weeks since Kyojiro and I had brought the Ubuyashiki kids home with us. They seemed to be handling it decently well. I mean, they had the occasional breakdown, but who could blame them? The weight of loosing 4 dear family members must be taking a toll on them.  I'm just happy they're finally letting out all that pain and sorrow.. keeping it in will only hurt them more.  I couldn't be more proud of them.

They each have their own room to sleep in.  Occasionally Kuina goes and sleeps in her brothers room whenever she has a nightmare.  At first the trio always kept to themselves and they were still relatively bottled up in terms of emotions.  Though, we finally got them to actually enjoy themselves for once.  You wouldn't expect it to be hard to get 8 and 5 year olds to have fun.. but these kids were a different case.

Currently the kids were all sleeping after a long day.  We had gone to visit their parents grave, they brought flowers and other things to lay at the gravestone.  Kuina cried a little but other than that it went rather smoothly.  Afterwards we had a picnic by a pond.  Kyojiro and I enjoyed watching them laugh and talk to each other.  It was adorable to see them so happy.  

"Giyuu? You alright?"  Kyojiro's voice broke into my train of thought.  "You seem kinda out of it.."  Concern was laced in his voice.

I looked around.  We were laying on our bed, my head laid on his lap, looking up at him.  "Oh.. Just thinking."  I replied, reaching up and cupping his face with my hand.

"Oh..?  Tell me raindrop.. What's on that beautiful mind of yours..?"  He asked gently, kissing my hand.  I blushed a little at the gesture.  For such a loud person her could be so quiet and soft with me.. And I absolutely adore that about him. 

"I was just thinking about the day.. It's nice to see the kids so happy.. They deserve that much... don't you think?"  I answered, avoiding his gaze.  It wasn't that I didn't want to look at him.. I guess I was simply too embarrassed to face him.

"It is nice... and yes.. they do deserve it."  He stroked my hair with gentle hands.  "I love you... Giyuu."

"I love you too Kyojiro."  I replied, smiling slightly.  I slowly sat myself up, moving and sitting in his lap.  I rested my forehead on his and smiled at him.  For a moment it was just silence, we were both looking into each others eyes.  I felt, peaceful.  I didn't want this moment to end.  I could die right now and rest in complete peace in my lovers arms.  Not that I want to die of course.

He smiled at me and brought his lips to mine.  His lips felt so warm against mine.  I gently kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck, titling my head for a better angle.  Lord, this felt so right.  I felt him wrap his large arms around my waist and I smiled a little into the kiss.  After a few moments I felt him lick at my bottom lip.  I opened my mouth slightly and felt him slide his tongue into my mouth.  He tasted.. almost spicy.  It was pleasant though.  I moved my own tongue against his with a little whine.  Kissing had never gone this far before and my heart was beating almost as fast as my mind was racing.  

Kyojiro's hand even slid up my shirt for a split second.  Then the door burst open and in came Kuina.  We quickly pulled apart, blushing like mad.  I meekly looked over to see Kuina in front of her siblings.  All three looked utterly shocked at what they had walked in on.  I couldn't bear it and hid my face in Rengoku's shoulder.  "Oh-!  Hello kids!"  Rengoku's booming voice sounded.  Despite what just happened he sounded surprisingly cheery, which only caused me to blush more.  

"Giyuu... Rengoku???!  You-  I saw- what were you-"  Kuina fumbled for words.  I could practically see the look of confusion despite having my face buried in Kyojiro's shoulder.

"Kuina-  You should have knocked!  I'm sorry... We tried to stop her-"  Kiriya tried to explain, covering for his sister.

I managed to cool down my face and I lifted my head to look at the three.  They all looked deeply ashamed of themselves and I honestly felt ashamed for getting walked in on in such a state.  Kuina was looking down after being scolded by her brother, Kanata was standing there, shuffling her feet awkwardly, and Kiriya was blushing furiously, looking to the side.

"It's quite alright little ones!  No harm done!  I must apologize for you being unfortunate enough to walk in on us in such a way!"  Kyojiro assured them.  

"Yeah.. It's alright.  I'm sure it was important anyways.  What did you all need-?" I asked gently, looking between the three.

"We- Kiriya and I were just following Kuina.. She looked really stressed.."  Kanata explained with concern. 

Kuina looked up meekly with tears in her eyes.

I felt my eyes widen and I hurried up to her, kneeling down to her level. "Hey... Hey what's the matter?"  I asked with concern.

She whimpered a little and fell into my lap, tears getting onto my yukata.  "I-I miss mother and father.."  She whispered.

I felt my heart ache at the sentence.  Of course... How could she not?  Everyone did... And we did just go to visit their grave site...  I wrapped my arms around her, using my hand to stroke her hair soothingly.  "It's okay... I know you do... But they are so proud of each of you... I just know it."  I reassured her, looking up at her siblings.  

Kyojiro came down and hugged us both, opening an arm to Kiriya and Kanata.  They rushed forward, Kanata hugging Kyojiro and Kiriya hugging both Kyojiro and I.

I hummed gently to them, trying to let them all calm down.  "What... song is this?" Kiriya asked curiously, his voice slightly muffled from where his head was nestled on my shoulder.

"Oh... It's a song my older sister used to sing to me after... I lost my parents."  I explained.  My heart burned a little thinking about Tsutako.  

Kanata smiled a little.  "Mother used to sing the same melody to us... Can you please keep going?"  She requested kindly.  

"Of course.."  I smiled back at her before continuing to softly hum. 

About an hour later Kuina and Kanata had fallen asleep and I stopped humming.  Kiriya whined a little, just barely awake.  "Shh..." I soothed.  "Kyojiro.. please can you put the girls to bed?"  I whispered, maneuvering Kuina into his lap beside her sister.  

"Of course."  He picked the girls up and walked out to go put them to sleep.

"Alright... You ready for bed?"  I asked Kiriya quietly.

He nodded a little, struggling to stand. I picked him up the best I could with only one fully functional arm.  I carried him to his room and laid him down, sitting beside his bed. "Can.. you keep humming..?  Just until I sleep?"  He asked quietly.

"Of course Kiriya."  With that I continued humming.

He fell asleep moments later.  Once I was sure he was sound asleep I quietly left, closing his door.  I came face to face with Kyojiro and smiled, kissing him briefly.  "Let's go to sleep... Okay?"  I smiled at him.

He chuckled, kissing my cheek. "Alright my love."
