Purple - Yata Misaki Love Story

Part 73

After the incident at our apartment, Rei refused to leave my side even though Jesse had never had another issue with his 'powers' again. I had a feeling something like this would happen, even though the boy wasn't injured he had definitely been scared out of his mind. No matter how much I assured him everything was fine, he was scared to stay alone with Jesse. The man was upset about the little guy being scared of him now, but he understood it. 
On the other hand, though, I suffered. I had always been able to split the watch of the little boy I decided to pick up with Jesse, and he was happy to help, but now I couldn't even be alone with Yata for longer than two minutes when we snuck into the bathroom together before Rei would be knocking on the door. 
"Man, like a lost little puppy~ So cute!" Akito cooed, picking up Rei as I stepped into the bar, the little boy let go of the end of my sweater and giggled in Akito's arms. 
I sighed in slight relief, Akito took to playing with Rei and I collapsed in a bar seat, greeting Izumo lazily, "This whole thing is getting out of control. The more people who get these powers means more innocent kids are gonna get hurt. It makes my head spin." I grumbled, trying not to fall asleep right there.
"Looks like you've been quiet busy lately, Yuri. You should give yourself a break." Izumo chuckled lightly.
"Yeah, I wish." I huffed, blowing some loose hair out of my face, "Being a mom is so hard... I have so much respect... for mothers..."
"Here, you can take a nap on the couch." Yata offered, and when I turned to look at him he was already holding up Tatara's old blanket, "I'll sit with you."
I blinked back a set of happy tears, slipping off the stool and following the male to the couch, he helped wrap me up in the blanket before sitting down, myself curling up on his lap. Gently, he played with my hair, and I hummed in content. 
"You're a great mom, Yuri." He murmured, "And the best girlfriend ever. I love you."
"I love you too, Misaki-kun..."
