Obanai Iguro - Our Kid

POV: it's night, you and Obanai are trying to sleep, but your baby snake has other plans.

Kind of modern AU, You have a terrarium for Kaburamaru

Your POV:
It was night. I was in bed, next to the love of my life. Obanai, the Snake Hashira We were both sleeping peacefully until I heard noises coming from the terrarium on one of the tables in room. It was Kaburamaru, his pet snake.

I quietly get up to check on Kaburamaru, and see him standing up on his stomach.

I open the lid and pick him up.
"Kabu, what's wrong?" I whisper "You are supposed to be asleep. Your dad is gonna get mad."
I think of the snake like mine and Obanai's child, which annoys him to no end.

"No y/n" he'll say "he is not our child, he a snake, merely a pet."
"I don't care! He is my baby!" I'll yell back.

I see him try to sleep on my arm, and realize if I put him back now he will wake up again and not sleep. He is exactly like a little baby.

I carry him back to the bed, trying my best not to wake up Obanai. I sit up and stroke the snakes back, trying to get him to stay asleep. I am able to stay quiet and still enough for Obanai to stay asleep, Thank goodness.

But then I feel a dangerous presence above me. I freeze and look to my right to see a very annoyed and sleepy Obanai sitting up in front of me.

"Y/n..." he growls "what did we say about the snake in the bed..."

"B-but he couldn't sleep!" I whine "don't you feel bad if your son can't get enough sleep?!"

"For the last time he is not my son, he is my pet!" He says sternly.

I gasp and cover Kauburamaru's head with my hand, acting like I was covering his ears

"Don't use the p-word, he's sensitive!" I whisper yell.

"What! But he's a-"Obanai starts, "you know what never mind." He says as he flops back onto his pillow

"Five minutes and he's back in his cage ok?" He says.

"Fine." I grudgingly agree.

I stroke Kabu's scales for five minutes just as Obanai said, and then gently put him back into his terrarium.

I lay back down and feel Obanai's arm wrap around me, in a spooning position. He puts his face into my neck and I can feel him smiling.

Even if he acts like he doesn't see Kaburamaru as his son, I know deep down he does.

"Here to apologize for hurting your son?" I say to him.
"Sure sure." He yawns. I believe that he didn't realize what he was saying. Obanai has never apologized to anyone except me. He will sometimes apologize to girls, but if he isn't close friends with them, like Mitsuri, it's rare.
"I am sorry.." he says, drifting back to sleep.

"Our son forgives you." I say before going to sleep myself.
