Babysitter

Masamune x MC

You took a deep breath as you pressed the doorbell.

Today was the last day of you working as a babysitter. You have been babysitting at various houses but this current house, will be the first and last one you will be going to...

Lady Yoshihime opened the door, giving you a wide smile.

"Hi! I believe I've already briefed to you about your job over the phone?" she asked with a smile as you gave a polite bow.

"Yes Lady Yoshihime. I am honoured that a noble family such as yours would ask me to babysit your son..."

She waved the compliment in an embarassed manner.

"Oh come now don't be like that! I must admit my boy is my precious baby! He has an elder brother but that son of mine doesn't like me to coodle him!" she gave a sad wistful sigh. "I have to accept he's a grown man I guess. I just don't want to face the fact that my babies are growing up so fast!"

By the time now she has moved aside and gestured you to enter her huge mansion.

"Kojirou! Kojirou darling! Mummy has to go to an important meeting! Your babysitter is here!" she called out while you just stood with hands clasped, waiting to meet this Kojirou.

The six year old boy came running down the stairs of the living room. He had a smile on his face but then gave a frown when he saw you instead.

"Why isn't it nii san taking care of me???"

Lady Yoshihime sighed.

"Your nii san said he had something on. He said he'll try finishing up his university assignments but I have to go now that's why I have to call for a babysitter at the very last minute."

Kojirou looked like he was about to cry...

"Erm... Kojirou... I'm sorry your nii san is not here but... I promise I'll try my best to make you happy. We'll do whatever you want and play whatever games you want 'kay? How does that sound?" you interrupted with a gentle smile.

Kojirou's frown immediately turned into a smile.

"Really?"

"Hm! Yea!"

"Okay! I'll see you upstairs! I want to prepare the toys we're going to play with today!"

With that, he quickly ran upstairs.

Lady Yoshihime raised an eyebrow before turning to you with an impressive smile.

"Well, guess you weren't exaggerating in your resume when you said you're good with children."

You just laughed sheepishly as Lady Yoshihime went to take her coat on the coat hanger.

"Well guess Kojirou is in good hands. I'll be going now. If my eldest son comes home just tell him I'm off to a meeting alright? And oh you can go off once he's home. I'll transfer you your pay tomorrow morning."

You just nodded and walked her to the door to see her off. After that it was play time for you and Kojirou all the way till 8 pm...

Kojirou gave a yawn as you were tucking him into bed..

You carded his hair as he slowly started closing his eyes...

"He looks so very familiar..." you thought to yourself..

"Is.. *yawn* Is nii san back yet??" Kojirou mumbled sleepily as you chuckled softly.

"No Kojirou... I guess he must have been caught up with so many assignments..."
