50: What Needed To Be Said

"I get why you like him so much," Uta wrapped his arms around you as you warmed some ribs in the oven for breakfast. "He's so very soft."

"Don't talk about me like I'm not here." Juuzou pouted as he held Yukizou in his lap. "I have work today, YN, you can watch the baby, right?"

"So early?" You turned and looked at him. "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes." Juuzou said, matter-of-factly. "I like living here."

"I like you living here." Uta winked at Juuzou, who looked away, annoyed.

"Do you?" You looked up at Uta.

"Mmm, yes." He kissed your forehead. "But I like living here too. I have work today too. Can I have breakfast to go?"

"What do you do?" Juuzou asked as he sipped on his orange juice as you nodded.

"I own my own business. A mask shop. I'm an artist." Uta swooned. "You should see YN's mask, it's beautiful."

"Oh, so you're the one who makes all the ghoul masks." Juuzou remarked. "They're very cool."

"I'll make you a trade." Uta put his plotting face on and you poked him as you pulled the now warm ribcage out of the oven. You had a feeling about just what he was going to try and ask.

Juuzou narrowed his eyes.

"No thanks." He bounced up placed Yukizou in his high chair. "Have a good day, YN."

And with a wave, he was off and out the door.

Uta laughed and you smacked his chest.

"Don't tease him like that!" You laughed back. "And don't cheat on me with my ex!"

"Aw, I was just going to trade him a little mask for a kiss! Is that really cheating?" He stroked your face as you packed up a large section of the food for him to-go.

"A kiss?!" You turned and looked at him seriously. "You're treading in dangerous waters, you know."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" He asked, taking his food from your hands. "If you don't want me to, I'll leave it alone."

You paused.

"You haven't... we've never..." Turning around swiftly, you decided to let him know exactly what was bothering you. "You asked me to be your girlfriend and you're trying to have a baby with me but you've never said it..."

Uta sighed lightly and set down his food. He had time. In fact, he honestly had all the time in the world for this.

"Are you worried I'm going to fall in love with him? Because I haven't told you that I'm deeply..." He took your hands in his, pulling you close to his warm body, "Utterly..." laying his face against your own, "In love with you? Is that it?"

"Yeah..." You mumbled, blushing.

"I know, I'm terrible. We moved so quickly that I suppose I just... forgot to mention I fell in love with you along the way." He brushed your hair with his hand. "Would you forgive me for the egregious sin?"

"If you want Juuzou, then you have to let me have him too." a small smile crept onto your face. "If you're going to be cheeky about it."

"Say it back. I can't leave for work without it." Uta pouted. "Have Juuzou all you want. But I want you and your babies."

Sighing back, contentedly, you couldn't help but be happy in the moment.

"I love you too, Uta."
