“Where is Ninomiya?”
Satoshi asked one of the participants for the training camp. A software company had sent a bunch of its employees for fitness training to his camp and he was in charge of them. Among all the participants, there’s one that truly irked him. The name of the participant was Ninomiya Kazunari. He was the worst participant Satoshi had ever trained. Ninomiya may look small and fragile but Satoshi knew he could do the training well if he put his mind on it. But, Ninomiya only did most of the exercise halfheartedly and Satoshi didn’t like that. Not to mention, he was also childish. So, since the first day of training, Satoshi would be annoyed by everything that Ninomiya did.
Today would be the last day of training. Not much will be done today. The participants would have to do the morning exercise and then they would be free. However, Satoshi didn’t see Ninomiya at all. Where did the brat go?
“Hmm…” The participant looked around and then shook his head. “I don’t know, Ohno san. I didn’t see him. Perhaps he is still in the camping site,”
Satoshi didn’t say anything. It's weird. Ninomiya would usually be on time for their activities. In fact, he was always the first one to arrive. But, why was he late today?
Ah, whatever. It was still early, after all. Maybe Ninomiya was too excited to go home today so he woke up late.
However, until the end of their morning exercise, Ninomiya didn’t show up.
“Yeah! Done!” Kazu jumped excitedly.
Satoshi smiled at his husband. He had just finished setting up their tent and Kazu did nothing to help him. Instead, he just watched. Of course, Satoshi didn’t mind to be bullied by Kazu like that. Kazu had been busy taking care of their sons while he went to work. Now that they had a chance to go on a short vacation without their sons, Satoshi wanted to spend it by spoiling his husband.
“Satoshi, don’t stare at me like that,” Kazu said. Twin spots of red appeared at his cheeks as he lowered his face. Awh, his husband was shy. Satoshi didn't mean to stare. He unconsciously did it as he admired the beauty in front of him. “You look like a creepy stalker,”
Satoshi didn’t say anything. He walked towards Kazu and then kissed his husband’s cheeks, causing Kazu to blush even more. He had to admit. A shy Kazu is his favourite Kazu. Well, every version of Kazu is his favourite because Kazu is his favourite person.
“Satoshi!” Kazu yelped. “We’re in a public place right now,”
“Yes,” Satoshi chuckled. He remembered how bold Kazu was when they began dating. His beloved would shamelessly display affection when they were in public. But, after they had Sho, Kazu tried to avoid kissing in front of their sons. “But, there’s no one around,”
“What if…”
Satoshi stopped his husband with a kiss on his lips this time. Kazu stiffened with his bold move and reluctantly pushed him away. As expected, his cheeks were once again red. It was redder than before.
“Let’s get inside,” Kazu mumbled, pulling him into the tent. Satoshi smirked and happily let Kazu lead him. Initially, they planned to have lunch after Satoshi was done with the tent. But, that could wait.
Once inside, Satoshi started kissing Kazu. This time, his husband didn’t push him away. Satoshi pushed Kazu to lie down inside the tent and he crawled on top of his husband. However, before they could continue kissing, a phone call interrupted them.
Satoshi almost cursed when he took out the phone as Kazu giggled awkwardly.
"Who is it?" Kazu asked. He tried to act cool but Satoshi could sense that he was slightly annoyed to be interrupted.
"A video call from my mother," Satoshi answered.
"Oh no! Do I look okay?"
"Un," Satoshi said. The hair was a bit messy so he helped Kazu with that. But, overall, Kazu looked okay.
He didn't get to answer the call as it ended when he was helping Kazu with his hair. So, Satoshi called his mother again. A crying Jun greeted them. He appeared to be sitting in his Meemaw's lap.
"Daddy… " Their youngest son was sobbing. "Papa where?"
As Kazu was a bit far from the screen, Jun couldn’t see him. So, Kazu moved closer to the phone, looking at their youngest son with concern.
“I’m here, Jun-chan,” Kazu tried to comfort the toddler who quickly beamed with happiness when he saw his Papa. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
“Papa go where?” Jun asked as tears rolled from his eyes. “Why Jun no go with Papa? Why Papa left Jun?”
When Satoshi and Kazu left their sons with Satoshi’s parents, Jun was happily playing with his brothers. They had explained to Jun that they will not be sleeping with him today and the little boy seemed okay with it. He even waved happily at them before they left. Satoshi had anticipated that Jun would be calling them but he didn’t expect it to be this soon.
“We don’t leave you, Jun-chan,” Kazu assured Jun. “We will be back soon,”
“Why Jun no go with Papa?” The toddler asked again. “Papa go with new baby? Why new baby? Jun good. Jun Papa’s baby. No baby! Only Jun,”
Satoshi smiled to see the way Jun babbling. Even though Jun ignored him, Satoshi didn’t feel jealous. Jun was used to be without Satoshi when he went to work. But, this was the first time Jun separated with Kazu. So, he totally understood why Jun only asked for Kazu.
“No, Jun-chan,” Kazu shook his head. “I don’t have a new baby. Why would I need another baby? Jun-chan is my baby, right? Jun-chan is Daddy’s and Papa’s baby!”
“Un!” The toddler nodded his head. Even though she didn't appear on the screen, Satoshi could hear his mother laugh because of Jun as she ruffled his hair. “Jun Papa’s baby,”
“So, don’t worry, okay?” Kazu assured the little boy. “When it’s dark, you go to sleep with Ki, Sho, Pop-Pop and Meemaw. Papa and Daddy will be there when you wake up okay?”
“Pwomise?”
“Un! Promise,” Kazu held out his pinky finger and Jun did the same. “Where are Sho and Ki?”
“Gone,” The little boy answered. “Go with Pop-Pop,”
“Jun-chan didn’t go with them?”
Jun shook his head but didn’t say anything else about it as he turned to look at Satoshi, giving his attention to Daddy for the first time. “Daddy, Jun want toys and choco!”
“Only if you promise to be a good boy, okay?” Satoshi responded.
“Un! Pwomise!”
"And don't bully Ki,"
"Jun no bully," Their son pouted.
"Don't fight with Sho nii-chan," Kazu added.
"Jun no fight. Jun good,"
"Yes, yes," His Meemaw's voice could be heard as she lowered her face to appear on the screen. "Jun-chan is a good boy, right?"
"Un! Jun good," Jun agreed. He then asked to be put down. Once he was down, he disappeared from the screen. Only his voice could be heard as he shouted. "Meemaw cartoon!"
"Jun-chan," Kazu said with a stern voice. "Is that how you asked Meemaw to let you watch cartoons?
Jun asked Meemaw to pick him up and then he appeared on the screen again with a pout.
"Sowy, Papa,"
"Don't say sorry to me," Kazu said. His voice was softer this time. "Apologize to your Meemaw properly,"
Jun turned around to face his Meemaw and then said. "Jun sowy, Meemaw,"
"It's okay, honey," Meemaw said, ruffling Jun's hair. "Say bye-bye to your Daddy and Papa then I will switch on the television for you,"
"Yeah," Jun jumped excitedly and waved at the screen. "Bye-bye, Daddy! Bye-bye, Papa,"
"Bye-bye, Jun," Satoshi and Kazu waved back at their youngest son.
“I’m sorry for the way he behaved just now,” Kazu apologized to his mother. Jun had once again disappeared from the screen. He probably went sitting on the sofa while waiting for his Meemaw to switch on the television for him.
“It’s okay. Jun-chan is a good boy,”
“Did he or his brothers cause you any trouble?” Satoshi asked.
"Of course not," answered Meemaw, shaking her head. "They are good boys. Sho chan is a responsible boy. He helps me with the chores. Masaki is also helpful even though he is a bit clumsy,"
"Where are they?" Kazu asked curiously.
"Their Pop-Pop wants to go to a bookstore. So, Sho chan and Ki follow him,"
Oh, that would explain why Jun didn't want to go with them. He didn't like books as much as Sho. Masaki, on the other hand, likes to go out.
"I hope they won't cause too much trouble," Kazu said.
"Don't worry," Meemaw assured him. "Jun-chan was fine earlier when he played with Sho chan and Ki. But, when he was alone, he started looking for you. That's why I have to call you. I hope I did not bother you,"
Satoshi glimpsed at Kazu, noticing that his husband was blushing. No doubt, he must be thinking about what they did before the video call. Satoshi wasn't the only one who noticed Kazu's red cheeks. His mother laughed when she realized it too.
"I better leave you to enjoy your vacation, ne?" His mother said with a smirk. "Don't worry too much about your sons. They will be fine,"
"Thank you so much for taking care of them," Kazu said shyly.
"It's my pleasure, Kazunari," Satoshi's mother said before she ended the video call.
Kazu then turned to look at Satoshi. With a shy smile, he said, "Shall we continue?"
"Gladly, my love," Satoshi answered and immediately leaned closer to kiss Kazu.
A/N: I hope this is okay. I've been thinking about what to do for Ohmiya date. In the end, I decided to let them walk through the memory of their first meeting. That would allow me to write how they met. This is just the first part of their anniversary date. Another part will come later.
