Chapter 11

"Toyo! Be careful!" Ari scolded the young boy who rubbed the back of his neck

"S-Sorry! I just wanted to see!" He whined, stepping away from the oven. Ari sighed, wiping her hands on her apron before they both peered through the glass of the oven, looking at the vanilla cupcakes slowly rise in their cases letting out 'oo's'.

"I hope they taste good... Baking really isn't my forte..." She muttered... Although it was the weekend, Toyo decided to inform her last minute that there was a bake sale happening at the school tomorrow in hopes of raising funds for a field trip. Ari wouldn't have minded except for the fact Toyo showed her the flyer after dinner and she had to dash towards the supermarket to get the right ingredients...

"Can I eat one after its done!?" Toyo asked her and she nodded,

"Ofcourse you can, but only one... Too much sugar before bed isn't good for you... Sensei wont be pleased if he finds outs I let you have sweets before sleeping, again..."

"Can I have two please? Sensei doesn't need to know!" Toyo begged making her chuckle

"Okay but don't let him find out, otherwise we both are going to be in trouble" Ari laughed watching the kid cheer in joy

Ari was trying to make a conscious effort in her parenting skills with Toyo, she was a little more lax than what she should've been. In the last few months, Sugawara had really tried his best in guiding Ari and Toyo towards a healthier relationship. Surprisingly, Toyo had really opened up to her. He'd wake her up on the weekends to make plans with Sugawara and her, he was always excited to spend time with them. What made the young woman most relieved was that because Toyo had now began interacting with everyone around him, he had made a lot of friends in school and thanks to his best friend Naoki Kuroo, he was no longer alone.

Her boyfriend was an angel. Ever since she met the man, it was like her life had done a 180 and everything was just getting better and better. He knew just how to uplift their moods if something happened, he was Toyo's loyalist supporter and her life coach. Sometimes it worried her that they depended on him too much, eventually taking a toll on him, however Sugawara never made it seem like they were a burden on him. He was just so wonderful and full of love, filling that void in Toyo and her life...

It was right on time when she heard her front door opening,

"Sensei!" Toyo cheered, running towards the door at full speed just in time to jump onto Sugawara who was about to slip his shoes off

"Oomph! Hehe, hello Toyo-kun, I see you've been busy for tomorrow's bake sale. How are the cupcakes getting along?" He asked but Toyo was too excited, grabbing onto the older man's arm

"C'mon! They're almost done! Did ya get the icing!?" Toyo asked in excitement, bouncing around while dragging Sugawara to the kitchen. Ari was grinning, leaning against the island when he walked in, locking eyes with her. He broke out into a wider grin, lifting the grocery bag in his hand

"Why hello there" She teasingly sang and Sugawara sauntered towards hers, leaning down to peck her lips sweetly

"Hello gorgeous, hows it going? I got the ingredients for the icing" He said, lifting the abg and she wrapped her arms around his neck

"You are a life saver" She beamed, kissing him again. Sugawara dropped the bag on the counter, his hands on her hips, pulling her in for a deeper kiss. He was seconds away from pushing his tongue in her mouth until they both heard someone cough. Pulling away they turned to see Toyo covering his eyes
