"Ouma, could you please watch my kids again? I need to help with the ships and I'll be sure to repay you again.", "Yea sure, and don't worry about repaying me, it a pleasure to help.", "Oh thank you Ouma, you don't know how much I appreciate this. Goodbye.", "Bye _____!" Kokichi stopped by Shuichi's room and got a few things. "What's that for?", "I'm babysitting.", "Oh cool, I'm just going to come because I'm bored.", "Whatever."

They went to the room and were met with loud screaming and chaos. "HE-" Kokichi covered Shuichi's mouth. "Don't scare them, calm them." Kokichi whispered. "Mei, Sami, Rina." Kokichi said. Suddenly all of them stopped playing and ran over to Kokichi. "Hey Guys.", "Mr. Ouma! Are we going to play a lot today!", "Hi kid-"
Shuichi wasn't able to finish because the kids started crying. "What?", "Hey hey, look. I have toys!" The kids stopped crying. He handed them each 2 toys and sat down. "Why 2 toys?", "Either to make them fight, let the has a type of toy romcom, or one to play with and the other when one gets boring. I've babysit basically my whole life when I wasn't busy so I know all the secrets.", "Mhm cool, well when they fight?" Just as Shuichi said that, screams echoed the room. "Kids! Stop!" Shuichi yelled. "Shut up and watch." Kokichi said. "Hey, Rina, Mei! Stop or no one is getting toys and all of y'all are going to the se acabó el tiempo (more google translate ❤️). Y'all want that huh? Shut it." Kokichi sat back down. "...." Both Shuichi and the kids were silent.

"Why did they stop? It's just timeout.", "They think it's a scary hell that bad children go to when they misbehave. I've never had to send anyone there tho." Kokichi giggled. "Ok.", Kokichi was talking with Shuichi when one of the kids tugged on Kokichi's pants. "Mr. Ouma, are you and Captain dating? Mommy said you two keep flirting so I wanted to know if you were together." Shuichi was blushing a lot but Kokichi said, "You wanna know a secret?" Kokichi sat the girl on his lap and whispered, "Yea, we are. But me and Captain wouldn't want anyone to know so let's just keep this be between us, Ok?", "Ok Mr. Ouma! Bye-bye." Shuichi covered his face. "Why did you tell her that?!" Shuichi whisper-yelled. "She'll realize it soon. And get, what if we do end up getting together in the end?", "That's not likely."

Later

"Mr Ouma," one kid came up to them. "Yes?", "Could you read a story? We're really tired.", "Ok Mei. Kids come here!" Kokichi said. "Gather around." They sat around Kokichi. "Ok, I don't have a book but I can sing you a song.", "YOU'RE gonna sing?", "No Im going to do a little jig and say I'ma leprechaun, what do you think?", "Quit it and sing your song, I'm going to the restroom.", "Kay don't come back.", Shuichi sat up. "I won't." Kokichi sat up straight and asked, "Have you ever heard of an Arabian Night?", "Nope.", "Well let my tell you."

"Oh imagine a land, it's a faraway place, where the caravan camels roam~" Shuichi came back from the bathroom. "Where you wonder among every culture and tongue. It's chaotic but Hey! It's home~" He leaned on the edge of the frame of the bathroom and watched. "When the wind from the east, and the suns from the west, and sand in the glass is right. Come on down, stop on by hop a carpet and fly to another Arabian Night~" The kids slowly got up and sat in bed, still listening to the song. "As you wind through the streets of the fable bazaars with the cardamon-cluttered stalls.", "You can smell every spice while you haggle the price of the silks and the satin shawls~", "Oh, the music that plays as you move through the maze in the haze of your pure delight~ you were caught in a dance, you were lost in a trance, of another Arabian Night!~" The Children laid in their beds as they drifted to sleep. "Arabian Night! Like Arabian Day! More often than not, are hotter than hot in a lot of good ways!" Shuichi stood shocked. He would expect someone with such a screechy voice to be such an amazing singer. "Arabian Night! Like Arabian Dreams, This mystical land, of Magic and Sand is more than it's seems~", "There's a road that may lead you, to good or to greed through, the power your wishing command!", "Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold. Well your destiny lies in your hands!~", "Arabian Night! Like Arabian Day! They seem to excite, take off and take flight, to shock and Amaze!", "Arabian Night! 'Neath Arabian Moon, A fool of his guard, could fall and fall hard. Out there on the dunes~" Kokichi tucked the sleeping children in bed whilst ending the magical sounding song. Shuichi had sat down by now, a small smile on his face. "You're really good.", "Thanks."

A silent fell between the two of them. They just stared into each other's eyes. They slowly moved closer to each other. Closer and closer then *Click* the door opened. They pulled away and stared at themselves, blushing a lot. "Oh thank you for watching my kids. I really hope they weren't too much to deal with.", "Nope they were angels.", "Also you're welcome ____.", "Well we'll be going now, Bye." "Bye." They walked back to Shuichi's room in silence, both trying to comprehend what just happened. Kokichi ran to the bathroom immediately after arriving in the room and Shuichi sat on his bed. 'The fuck was that?!' they both thought.
