Darkness Comes To Light Pt. 2

*Present*

"Boss." Akutgawa said as he bowed in front of Mori.

"Akutagawa-kun. What brings you to my office?" Mori said standing up with his hands behind his back.

"Nakahara Arsene."

"Ah." Mori said sighing with interest. "And how is he?"

"Fine. He's five years old now."

"Well this is just wonderful." Mori chuckled. "After all these years I thought we'd never see him again. Well done, Akutagawa. I always knew making you executive would pay off."

"Thank you boss."

"But... As of right now we will wait. Wait until he's showing signs of an ability. If he doesn't we have no use for him. Do you understand?"

Akutagawa nodded. "Yes, I understand."

Chuuya waited patiently outside as he watched the other children coming out. Chuuya smiled when he saw a hat just like his and a bob of brunette hair, he saw how deep ocean blue eyes lit up in happiness, and a small face that was covered in freckles, dimples appeared as he smiled and ran for Chuuya.

"Mama! Mama!" Arsene said as he ran into Chuuya's arms.

Chuuya chuckled as he kneeled down and pulled Arsene close to his chest. And he rocked back and forth hugging him, Arsene laughed as Chuuya showered his chubby cheeks with kisses. Chuuya stopped and Arsene looked up at his mother smiling. Chuuya smiled back at his son, and he stood up, picking Arsene up with him.

"Mama?"

"Hm?"

"Are we going to go get Papa now?" Arsene asked curiously.

Chuuya laughed. "No, my love. We have to go get a few things for dinner, and we have to pick some stuff up for a surprise to Daddy, and you."

Arsene gasped. "A surprise?!"

"Mhm." Chuuya said smiling as he buckled his son into his car seat. Chuuya closed the door, and then he got inside the car and buckled himself up. Once they were both situated. Chuuya started driving towards the grocery store closest to their house.

"Mama, what kind of surprise is it?"

"A big one." Chuuya responded.

"I like surprises." Arsene said happily as he kicked his feet.

Chuuya smiled. "I know you do sweetheart." Chuuya pulled into a parking spot at the grocery store, he turned off the car and got out. Chuuya closed the front door behind himself, and then he got Arsene out. Chuuya locked the car and he took a hold of Arsene's hand and walked inside the grocery store. Chuuya got a buggy and he put Arsene inside the buggy. Chuuya pushed the buggy around the store, and he decided first he would get a cake for the surprise. There was plenty of cakes from tall to short, butter cream icing to not butter cream, red cakes, blue cakes, yellow cakes, and ah, pink. Chuuya shook his head, he figured he should go with a standard color. When push came to shove Chuuya choose red, and Arsene also thought that was the best option. Chuuya had also ended up buying some red balloons to match, and a card for the special occasion for both Dazai and Arsene. Arsene was a pro at reading yet so he wouldn't understand the card completely, which Chuuya was thankful for because he did not want to ruin the surprise. Chuuya grabbed a few things to finish off his famous homemade pasta, and he grabbed a bottle of expensive wine and whiskey. Chuuya got into the check out line, and he watched as his groceries and other items where rung up. Chuuya let Arsene tug at his hand, and play with his glove to distract the easily bored child. Chuuya paid for everything and he made sure he had all his items before walking out to the car. He popped open the trunk and put all his groceries inside except the cake and balloons, those went in the back seat. Chuuya closed the trunk, and he got Arsene out of the buggy. The five year old was now sound asleep so Chuuya gently out him in his car seat, strapping him in and then Chuuya got in the car himself. Chuuya smiled as he drove on the way home.
