THE DAY HAD BEEN LONG, hectic, and full of surprises. Fighting giant robots during the entrance exam?
Who thought that was a good idea?
As Shota and Hizashi finally stepped through the front door, both tired from their responsibilities at UA, they were greeted by a familiar, heartwarming sight: YN sprawled out on the couch, fast asleep.
One arm dangled lazily off the side, his fingers brushing the floor as he snored softly.
Shota couldn't help but smile, the rare expression softening his usual stern demeanor.
"At least, he's sleeping," Shota thought, remembering the countless nights YN had confided in him about his insomnia.
"I can't sleep." His voice had been laced with frustration and exhaustion back then, causing Shota more worry than he let on.
But seeing him like this—so peaceful—was like a weight lifting off his chest.
His son looked… adorable, not that Shota would ever admit it aloud.
Beside him, Hizashi grinned ear to ear, nudging Shota with his elbow.
"Aww, would you look at that, Sho?! He’s out like a light! Your little man really loves his naps, huh?" His usual upbeat voice was lowered to a whisper, but the playfulness was still there.
Shota gave him a deadpan look.
"He's not a 'little man,' and I'd prefer if he slept in his room instead of eating half the house's candy stash and passing out on the couch."
His eyes drifted to the table, which was littered with strawberry candy wrappers—so many that it looked like a small, sticky battlefield.
Hizashi chuckled, clearly not helping the situation. "Kid's obsessed with strawberries. Wonder where he gets it from."
Shota rolled his eyes, crouching down next to YN's sleeping form.
His hand moved instinctively to brush a few strands of hair away from YN's face, gently ruffling his son's hair.
YN stirred at the touch, scrunching his face before blinking his mismatched eyes open slowly.
Groggy and still half-asleep, he smiled lightly at Shota.
"Tou-san," YN mumbled, his voice thick with sleep, "you're back."
Shota's heart warmed at the sight. He kept his expression neutral, but inside he was relieved beyond words.
At least he's sleeping soundly now.
Hizashi, meanwhile, couldn't resist chiming in, his grin growing wider.
"Oye, sleepyhead! Don't tell me you ate all those strawberry candies by yourself, huh?"
YN blinked, sitting up sluggishly and rubbing his eyes.
He looked over at the candy wrappers with a sheepish look. "...Maybe."
Shota sighed. "You're going to give yourself a stomach ache."
He sat down beside him, trying to hide how amusing he found the whole situation. "Anyway, how was your day? How much sleep did you get?"
YN stretched his arms before frowning slightly, his mind shifting to more pressing matters. "I've been calling Shinsou. He's not answering. Tou-san, do you know how the entrance exam went?"
