Memories of The Past

Will

Today wasn't just any day. It was a day in Yokohama where everyone celebrated a local festival. Oda has promised Chuuya he'd take him to the festival, and to say Chuuya was excited was an understatement. He was ecstatic that's why he was currently jumping up and down on the bed attempting to wake Oda up.

"Papa! Daddy!" Chuuya said jumping up and down. "Papa!" Chuuya yelled.

Oda groaned in protest and Chuuya jumped down on to the bed and landed on Oda, making him grunt. "Oi! Oi! Don't ignore me! Papaaaa? Are you awake?" Chuuya said prying open one of Oda's eyes.

Oda couldn't help but chuckle as he leaned up making Chuuya roll, and fall off to the side. Chuuya pouted as he did them and shoved his way back into Oda's lap giving him a good morning kiss on the cheek as they always did with each other. Oda did the same in return and even gave the little ginger an eskimo kiss. Oda held Chuuya's small face in both hands as Chuuya looked at him with curious ocean blue eyes.

"Are we still going to the festival today...?" Chuuya asked cutely.

"Of course we are. A promise is a promise." Oda said as he stood up and went over to his closet to pick out clothes for him and Chuuya.

"Is Osamu coming?" Chuuya asked.

Oda nodded. "He is. We are going to meet him there. Everyone from the Port Mafia will attend."

"Really?"

Oda nodded again. "So that means you and Aki need to hurry and get ready because we want to go meet our friends right?" Oda said excitedly.

"Yeah!" Chuuya said smiling at Oda.

Oda smiled as he saw Chuuya's face light up in wonderment and excitement. Chuuya had been excited about this festival for weeks, and it was finally here. The festival had tons of things to do. From bobbing for apples, to food stands, to small games that had prizes, finger painting and face painting for children, book stands, fireworks, and flee markets. Oda was an adult an even he felt a bit excited so he could understand why Chuuya was. Seemed even Aki was getting into the spirit of things, as he walked beside Chuuya. Chuuya let go of Oda's hand and he started running off, Oda knew it was towards someone familiar as Chuuya knew completely well not to talk with strangers.

"Osamu! Ane-san!" Chuuya said happily as he ran over waving to them both.

They both turned around and they smiled down at the small child. Kouyou immediately perked up and she pinched Chuuya's cheek as she looked at him.

"Ah... Chuuya is truly so cute!" Kouyou said as she held her fan up to her face admiring the tiny ginger.

Chuuya blushed at the compliment and murmured a quite thank you, as he nervously twirled his hands together. Dazai kneeled down and he patted Chuuya's head, and brushed a few stray bangs back giving him a kiss on the forehead. Chuuya smiled as he kissed Dazai on the cheek.

"Feeling better?" Dazai asked.

Chuuya nodded. "Thank you for the soup, and medicine! Papa said you brought them to help me feel well."

"You're welcome." Dazai smiled and he looked over as he saw Aki next to Chuuya. He also patted his head, and Aki touched were he did as he wasn't used to such affection by Dazai.

"Yo, Odasaku." Dazai said smiling. "Hiya."

"Afternoon Dazai. Afternoon Kouyou."

"Afternoon."

"Well Chuuya we are all here now. What would you like to do first?"

"Can we go see the animal farm?"
