My dad, My Other Dad and I (Beastars)

A (Maybe Too Exciting) Bedtime Story

Miguno sat still on the sofa. His body was leaning on his husband, Durham, with his head resting on the coyote's warm shoulder. They were watching TV as the moon outside started to reveal itself.

Trying to get into a more comfortable position, Miguno shifted around so his head was on Durham's lap.

Durham smiled softly at the sight of the hyena getting cozy on him. He reached out one of his hands, ruffling and petting Miguno's head gently, "Getting sleepy?"

Miguno released a content hum, enjoying the coyote's hand tenderly caressing him, "No, I just like this position more."

"Hm~" Durham hummed in response. He continued to watch the TV, but his hand didn't stop and was now scratching Miguno behind his ear, making the hyena's tail thump the sofa.

The night continued to pass slowly as they sat on the sofa, enjoying the quiet night together in each other's presence, occasionally laughing at the jokes being told on TV.

An ad played and Miguno took the chance to glance at the clock, "Oh, it's already seven."

"Really?" Durham looked at the clock as well. "Huh, It is."

"Time for our little princess to go to bed," said Miguno as he sat up from the coyote's lap.

"Yup," Durham stood up after Miguno got off his lap and walked to Luna who was currently lying down on the rug, deeply invested in a story book. He crouched down and called her name, "Luna~"

"Yess?" the small husky looked up to meet Durham's eyes.

"It's time for bed honey," Durham patted her head, ruffling her black and white fur.

Luna pouted, "But I'm not finished yet."

"You can always continue that tomorrow dear," Miguno said, now crouching down as well next to Durham. "For now you need to get enough sleep for tomorrow."

"Mmm..I wanna know how it ends.."

"C'mon~" Durham tried to persuade the husky, "You have kindergarten tomorrow, you need sleep."

"Then read it to me!" Luna handed over the book to Miguno. "That way it's faster."

The hyena accepted the book, "Promise to sleep right after?"

"Promise!"

Miguno chuckled, "Remember, you promised." He turned his head to Durham, "How about splitting parts?"

"Sounds good," He answered. He looked at Luna and patted her head, "Now get to bed honey, we'll read it to you there."

"Okay," Luna got up and ran to her bedroom. She peeked her head out from inside the room, "Hurry!"

"Coming honey," said Miguno. He opened the book and read through it quickly. "Hmm.. I'll be the evil monster while you can be the prince, hon."

"But you're my prince!" Durham protested. "I'll be the monster instead."

Miguno smiled and pecked the coyote on the cheek, "No changing. You're more of a prince than me anyway hon."

"Mm.." Durham rubbed his cheek, flushing. "Alright, I'll be the prince."

"Good."

...

"You won't get her, prince!"

"H-how dare you!" Durham balled his hand into a fist, trying to sound as heroic as possible. "Let the princess go, you fiend!"
