A/N: I finally caught up guys! I was doing so well on sticking to my posting schedule for the Halloween specials until the day of Halloween, I got home from work and then went straight over to have dinner with a friend so I just wasn't able to get to it like I wanted. But here we are at the last chapter of the Halloween specials. This chapter is SUPER short and that is intentional it's just meant to be a little reflection of the events of Halloween before we go back into the main story line. The next chapter should be posted sometime today or tomorrow.
Anyway, as always, thanks for your support!
When Tsukishima got out of the shower he pulled on a pair of comfortable pajama pants and dried his hair with a towel before letting the towel fall around his shoulders to catch any excess water that he might have missed and prevent it from falling into his bare shoulders. Slipping on his glasses, he padded down the hall and into the front room.
Laying on the floor, still in his costume with the hat fallen to the side, Harushia lay there curled up happily sleeping, surrounded by the candy and prizes that he had received from both the museum trick-or-treating and the sports center festival. He looked so comfortable and content that Tsukishima didn't want to move him but he didn't want the boy catching a cold.
Carefully, he picked him up, doing his best not to wake him as he carried him to his room. He gently removed his costume and got him into his pajamas before tucking him in. Leaning over, he kissed the top of his forehead and whispered softly, "good night little paleontologist." Harushia stirred slightly before rolling to his side and curling up to get more comfortable.
He turned the light off and shut the door quietly before heading back into the front room to clean up the mess. Sitting on the floor, he began to gather the candy and little toys, putting them into Harushia's bucket as he thought back on the last few days. It had been chaotic and busy and he was thrilled it was over. Tsukishima was looking forward to things going back to the normal daily routine for a while.
But he had to admit, despite the hectic schedule and the rushing from one event to another, there were some special memories that had been made and he was grateful for those moments. It was times like these, in the quiet hours of the night, that he would reflect on the day and see the little things that reminded him why he was so blessed to have his son in his life. The way that his son looked up to him, like he could do no wrong, the way that the boy smiled and laughed, finding joy in the small, simple things of life, and of course the way his son had managed to fill a hole in his life that he hadn't even known was there to begin with.
Tsukishima had never wanted to be a father, and he didn't want any more children. It still seemed like that was too much of a bother. But he was happy that he was Haruhisa's father and he hoped that as the boy grew older he would still be proud to be his father's son.
