Every time Barou rips off my undergarments, he replaces them with red lingerie because that’s his color

[anxiousbabybird]

I am so soft for this man right now 🥺 He’s so handsome and also so hot. I love how lovingly I’m looking at him and how gently he’s holding my face. The little touches like my nails matching my sweatshirt or my birth marks on my face make me melt. Also my hair looks so good pretty that length that I’m tempted to go cut it lol. AND HIS HANDS ARE SO BIG!! The size difference between Taiju and I is one of my fave things so to see it represented so spectacularly has me on my knees (and thank you to Amira for pointing out that his hand would wrap entirely around my neck because that thought is stuck in my head now lol). I’m biased but this is the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen 🥰

This is the first time I’ve ever commissioned any artwork and working with you was such a pleasure! I can’t thank you enough for bringing my dream to life 💙 Also his hair is PERFECT and I hate drawing hair and I’m so in awe of your talent and skill!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I really don’t know how I could love anything more! You made me fall in love with him all over again!

This is also everyone’s reminder to support your artists on social media because they make the world go round and bring immense joy. Now I’m going to go stare at this the rest of the day and maybe reread some of the manga because I’m so in love with Taiju!

This commission from Taiju I drew for @anxiousbabybird

I don't know how can't fall in love with them♡⌒(≧▽​° )

You, my friends/followers, are my biggest inspiration ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧ Thank you for being here and being so wonderful! Every time I communicate with you, I am energized and want to create more and more new illustrations ٩(๑☆ᴗ☆๑)۶

Laying in bed rn suffering and thinking about how Barou wouldn't want me going to bed with my hair wet and he makes me sit up in bed between his legs while he blow dries and braids it for me

[anxiousbabybird]

I'm in my Hakkai Shiba feels right now, I just looked through some old selfship HCs and stuff I have for him and forgot just how much I love that man 🥺

[anxiousbabybird]

And also, I would like to see Natsuo for you 🤭

RYDER! This was not about me! But I'm going to answer anyway because you said his name and now I'm thinking about it 😅

Natsuo

This man likes a full on mating press, I just know it. He's strong and big and he knows it, and he'll be going so hard and fast that I'm putting a weak hand against his stomach and he just chuckles and smacks it away before gripping my ankles and leaning over me. He's pressing down on my legs, folding me in half and using his body weight to keep me folded as he drives into me relentlessly. And when he does cum? He's dropping his body weight onto me and staying there while he catches his breath, making sure every drop is coating my insides. He always has to carefully help me get my legs out of that position after 😅 And when he draws me a bath after, I never let him get in the water because his body runs cold and makes my water cold too fast so he sits in a chair beside the tub lol.

B's Game Night!

[anxiousbabybird]

Patchy this is gorgeoussss! I definitely agree he is the biggest fan of a babydoll 🥰 And the pink isn’t something I’d pick for myself but I love thinking of him picking something so pretty and feminine. Also you’re 100% right I’d have this in lots of colors, especially my fave light blue and the colors of whatever team he’s playing for at the time 🫣

Thank you for letting me play Patchy! I hope you have the loveliest evening!!

Hi Patchy! I’m here for game night and I’m virtually bringing you an appetizer and dessert for hosting it! You’ve got me dying to know though, what lingerie set is Ushijima getting me 🫣

Oh how kind of you to bring some goodness for this Friday Night Fun! I very much appreciate the sweet gesture! In return, here is what I think your hubby would LOVE to see you in!!

He likes the babydoll style of lingerie, and especially loves pastels on you!! You're his angel after all, he can't help but buy things that make you look the part!

🔮what set will you get?🔮

[anxiousbabybird]

Talk about your favorite ship 🥰

I don’t wanna pick a favorite 😅 So I put the men in a wheel 🤣 But the wheel also must’ve actually known the favorite in my heart lol

Okay so I’m going to tell you about one of my favorite B x Ushi selfship AUs: firefighter Ushi and B 🩵 This is how we meet.

We meet one day because there’s a kitchen grease fire at my house and I call 911 and tell them I’m trying to put it out with the fire extinguisher and 911 is like, you’re crazy get out of your house and wait for the fire truck. And then the firefighters pull up to my house and I’m still in the kitchen (but I opened the front door for them) and I’ve got on an N95 mask with a wet towel wrapped around my hair and shoulders and I’m trying to put out the fire in the kitchen with a fire extinguisher and then before I know it, I’m being swooped up into strong arms and carried out of my house to the front yard while other firefighters come in with foam things to actually put out the fire, all of them kinda laughing at my antics because it’s not something they see ever.

And I look up as I’m being carried out and the most handsome man is carrying me, so I rip the towel off my head and throw it somewhere in my house as he walks us out and sets me down carefully on a stretcher so the EMTs can check on me. And he’s just smiling down at me, let’s out a chuckle, and I’m blushing and like, “What’s so funny?” And he’s like, “This is the first call I’ve been on where a young woman puts a mask on herself and a soaked towel and tries to put out her own fire.” And I’m like, “Well I don’t usually like asking for help. And I’m pretty adept at handling things myself.” And he hovers around me and is like, “Is that so?” And I’m just like, “Yep, I’m used to being on my own.” And he thinks that’s a shame. Then we get to talking while they clear my house (because the fires out since it wasn’t too bad and now they have to assess the damage to see if I can go back in). And he’s like “What were you cooking?” And we talked about how much I love cooking and how stupid I feel right now over this accident and he tells me that I shouldn’t feel stupid and things like this happen all the time, even with a good chef. And the other firefighters are all milling about in my yard or by the truck and he just stays with me the whole time. And then they clear my house and say it’s structurally safe but there’s a lot of smoke still inside so I should probably open the windows and let it air out and stay somewhere else that night. But he sees my face fall and asks what’s wrong and I’m like, “it’s just going to be annoying to go to a hotel tonight without any of my stuff” and he’s like, “you can go in, just wear a mask. Here, I’ll escort you if you’re worried.” So he delicately puts a fresh N95 over my face with a tiny smile and then walks me inside, keeping in front of me and holding my hand as I tell him which direction to go to get to my room. He leans against my door while I pack a bag, making small talk and then he helps me go through and open the windows throughout the second floor and the ones in the back yard on the first floor. Finally, I have a bag packed and he walks me out, asking where I’m going. I tell him that I think I deserve a big comfy bed tonight after today’s stress so I’m going to some fancy hotel while my house airs out and so I can make calls to repair people to fix the damage to my kitchen. And he almost asks if I’d like to have dinner with him later tonight because he wants to get to know me, but then thinks better of it, worried he’ll come across as a creep capitalizing on something bad that happened. So we leave each other with a smile and me saying “Maybe I’ll see you around?” And him responding with a little grin, “I hope so. But let’s not make it a habit of meeting this way.”

I’m at the hotel and chilling in my room on the 3rd floor when the hotels fire alarms go off and I’m just in my sweatshirt and spandex shorts and after the day I’ve had, I’m over it so I grab my backpack I packed from my house that’s still got all my stuff in it and go to find the stairwell. When I get to the hallway I realize that there’s a lot of smoke and it’s hot and I luckily still had the mask from earlier in my backpack side pocket so I pull it out and put it on and start shoving my way with everyone else to the stairs and down them, trying not to think about how this is the second time today I’ve been involved in a fire and really concerned the universe has an unfortunate fiery end set aside for me. Thankfully, I get outside the hotel and I look up and realize a lot of the upper levels are legit blazing on fire, like tv show scary levels of fire. And I and the other guests evacuating are taken to a first aid area that’s set up in the hotels parking lot, far enough out so it’s out of the way of the firefighters and also in case things in the hotel go badly. When I get to the first aid area, I see the same EMTs that checked on me this morning and make a bee line to them because I’ve already met them today. They are like “what are the fucking odds?” And check me over and ask which floor I was on and they’re like, “you don’t seem to have any significant inhalation, thank god for your mask, but since this is the second time today, you should stick around for a while so we can monitor you. Plus you are super dehydrated so we’re gonna give you some fluids.” And I’m like “I hate needles in my veins but fine”. And so I’m hanging out with them while they check over other people, sending some to the hospital, and I’m watching as the fire in the hotel is finally getting under control. I realize there’s tons of different fire trucks with different numbers and I’m definitely looking for one in particular. Anyway, I’m still hanging in first aid since I’m not showing any signs of smoke inhalation or any serious burns (aside from the minor one on my arm from the fire this morning when the grease splashed on my arm a little when I was trying to put it out but they changed the bandage since I was there and checked on it).

Anyway, the fire in the hotel is out and a couple fire trucks leave but several stick around and the firefighters that aren’t in the building checking stuff start asking around the first aid area offering help to the EMTs because they’re still trained for lots of things. And then I see him, sexy and tall and his fireman uniform covered in black soot, his face sweating and flushed and the jacket part partially unzipped now with the navy tshirt tight underneath. And walking right toward me. I look at the one EMT I’d made friends with and she winked with a, “He’s been worried you were at this hotel since we got the call. I let him know you were safe on our walkies when you found us and we promised we’d keep you here until he got out.” And she’s smirking at me and just walks away to check on someone else.

Ushi walks up to me and he gets close enough that he can reach out and touch my cheek, caressing it with so much gentleness and he says, “We got the call and I was so scared that you were here.” And I reach up and touch his hand on my cheek, wrapping my fingers around his as my cheeks heat with a blush. “Unfortunately I was here but I was only on the third floor and got out fast.” I hold up my mask, “Even wore this bad boy you gave me on my way out so I still didn’t breathe in all that smoke!” And he lets out a little smile, still softly stroking his thumb over my cheek like he can’t believe I’m real and in front of him. And he says, “I thought I told you we shouldn’t make it a habit of meeting this way.” And I’m smiling at him and respond, “As happy as I am to see you, this wasn’t the way I had planned it either.” And he arches a brow and is like, “Oh? You had plans?” And I blush and look away and tell him, “I’d planned to bake some cookies and bring them to your firehouse next week as a thank you to all of you.” And my voice gets quiet, “But mostly because I wanted an excuse to see you again. Especially see you when I’m more put together and not a mess from this insane day.” And he lets out another tiny little grin and responds, “Even as a mess you’re beautiful.” And I’m beet red now, just full on blushing. The EMTs watching in the background wishing they had popcorn because who is this man that they’ve known for years? Like they’ve never seen him like this. And I’m speechless at this point and he notices the backpack he’d helped me pack earlier that day next to me and drops his hand from my cheek finally, but makes no move to step back from me. He asks outright, “Do you need somewhere to stay tonight?”

And I’m just like, blushing so hard and mouth probably dropped a little even, and he follows it up with, “I have a guest room you can stay in tonight. I’m technically off work now but we got the call when I was getting off shift and I had to make sure that if you were here, I needed to know you were all right. You can stay with me and then I’ll take you out for breakfast in the morning.” And he steps really close (like picture me sitting on a stretcher and him stepping in between my legs to get close) and cups my cheek in his hand again and is like, “I know we just met but I like you and I need to know you’re safe tonight. Please.” And I’m just nodding like, wtf is this really happening? Am I the main character in a romance novel now? He runs off to his fire truck, asking me to wait there for just a moment. His EMT friends take out my IV and I’m like, “What just happened?” And the girl is like, “Girl I’ve know him 5 years. He’s never acted like this before. Never heard him talk this much before. But I will tell you he’s one of the good ones. Kind, quiet but he’s got a big heart.” And I’m just awestruck, half in love with him already.

When he comes back, he had taken off his big fire jacket and pants thing and was in his navy firehouse tshirt with his name and the station number on it, and the navy pants they wear. And my god the shirt was so tight across his broad, muscular chest that it’d knock the wind out of me. He’s got a duffel bag over his shoulder and asks if I mind if we ride in my car together since he came on the fire truck. I tell him I don’t mind and when he offers to drive, I don’t say no. He asks if I want to go to the station so he can get his car and then I can follow him to his house and I tell him we can get his car tomorrow and I lean my head against the window and sleepily say, “Let’s just go home.” without really thinking about the words I used. Though the words make his heart swell. So he drives us to his place and we don’t even talk, the radio playing softly and me half falling asleep against the door. Finally we get to his place and it’s a cute little house kinda out in the country. It suits him and I smile as he runs to open my door for me. I follow him nervously inside and he shows me around the house, skipping his room and showing me the guest room and guest bathroom instead. We both go to take showers in our respective bathrooms and I realize I don’t have any extra clothes and the ones I was wearing at the hotel smell like smoke and sweat now. I call for him, hiding behind the door and wrapped in a towel as I tell him my predicament.

He just voices his acknowledgment and proceeds to return, handing me a pile of clothes that turns out to be sweatpants, a tshirt, a henley, and a sweatshirt. I pick the henley and sweatpants, though I put the sweatshirt in my room in case I get cold later. After that, I find him in the kitchen with a glass of water poured for us both. I’m shy when I ask, “Is it okay if I go lay on the couch and watch tv for a little bit? I know it’s silly but I was almost finished with my show when the hotel was evacuated.” And he smiles slightly and is like, “You can do anything you want, just make yourself at home.” And he fixes the tv for me and I curl up on one side of the relatively large sectional (big enough he can comfortably stretch out on) and he stretches out on the other side while I turn on the last twenty minutes of my show. It’s kinda awkward but we sit there and watch it together in silence, both of us glancing to each other but not knowing what to say or do. When my show goes off, he asks if I’d like to go to bed or maybe watch a movie? And I tell him we can watch a movie, so he gets up and turns off the lights and hands me a huge blanket and a pillow and grabs himself a pillow too. He’s blushing slightly as he explains “in case we fall asleep on the couch.”

For the first fifteen minutes of the movie, I can’t get comfy and I keep getting closer to him but I’m too shy to ask for what I want, but after a too much time of me moving around trying to get situated, he reaches out his hand and looks at me and says, “C’mere.” And I take his hand and he guides me over to curl up under his arm (like think about L shaped sectional with him laying down in one direction with his chest in the corner and me laying under his arm with my head on his chest and stretched in the other direction). With this god of a man holding me under his strong arm, I can’t stop myself from whispering and asking, “You said you liked me. Earlier at the hotel. Why?” And he looks down at me, surprised by my question and he’s like, “I’ve been doing this job for five years. I’ve seen it all. The good, the bad. But one thing I’d never seen was a tiny woman, smart enough to wear a mask and protect her hair, not planning to wait a single second on anyone to save her kitchen. You were determined not to let it spread and you very likely saved your house by keeping it under control until we got there. That was very brave, very stubborn, and pretty hot. And then you looked up at me when I picked you up like you were mad that we were there to help you. And it was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Then I talked to you and you were perfect. Intelligent, funny, gorgeous, feisty. I wanted to ask you to dinner with me tonight. I was going to but I was concerned how it’d come across since you’d been through a lot so I let you go and resolved to come visit you in a week or so. But then we got the hotel call and I knew there was a chance you were there after we talked.” He grabs my hand and brings it to his lips for a kiss. “I raced there with my brothers because I had to know you were okay. And I know we met this morning and this is crazy, but I only met you the morning and already I could’ve lost you. Twice.” A caress of my cheek. “I asked you to come home with me tonight because I don’t want to lose you before I get a chance to fully know you.” He leaned over and pressed a tentative kiss to the top of my head. “So tonight I’ll sleep well knowing you’re safe. And tomorrow I intend to properly court you over brunch and for as much of your day as you’ll let me monopolize. If that’s all right with you of course?” And I’m nodding dreamily with a soft smile on my face and a bright pink blush. “That’s very all right with me.” And I fall asleep right there on the couch, curled up against him.

So yeah, that’s the start of firefighter Ushi and B 🩵

[anxiousbabybird]

First, I love the anniversary reminder, that’s so fucking cute, catch me queuing that for next April 18th just as a reminder lol. Second, he kinda looks like Draken and that makes me instantly attracted to him. Third, I love that when you like a character a little but don’t fully love them because you love someone else more, you shove them at me. All I can imagine is the two of us (meaning you and me) being best friends in every AU and fandom and then you meet a guy and you’re like, “You’re cute, I like you, but I like your friend more. HOWEVER, have you met B?” And then you shove me in front of them 🤣 like I can envision this so well because I probably would need the shove lol. Fourth, you had me at “soft potential”, you know I’m more of a softie than I like to admit. You know me so well so as soon as I finish BSD, I’m starting this one! Although I’m watching BSD with you so when you can’t watch it, I’ll watch Say I Love You 💙 thank you for putting so much thought into this Ry, not just for me but for everyone! It was such a fun game and I loved reading what you came up with for everyone else!

Non-con me 🥰 I’m ready for it

Ok I had to think bc I have told you so many before and to be quite honest I have told you this one before but it’s been a while and I don’t think you remember anyways. 

Kai Takamura [Say I Love You]

I will admit this is very much one of those cases where I like the character a bit but they’re not my favorite, so I want to yeet them onto someone who will love them better. With that being said, though, I do think you will like him. He’s got a little bit of that bad boy thing going on but he’s also a good guy, and I just sent so much soft potential from him. I just know he’s a simp. A very comfortable and loving relationship for you. Plus he’s so pretty! You’re welcome.

[anxiousbabybird]

I love this so much because he and I are one in the same (except tik tok is my vice instead of youtube lol). I knew exactly what videos you were talking about though! I'm a light sleeper so I'd definitely wake up and curl up on his arm and watch the videos with him until I passed out again 💙 Thank you for letting me play Kale!

I'm sending Iwaizumi for your game 💙

hi b!

Iwa ends up down the rabbit hole that is YouTube. He starts out by watching some highlights of a game he missed and the next thing he knows he’s watching those videos of the men building whole ass pools with little shovels and bamboo tools ( yk the ones I’m talking about right?) and he’ll watch those until he hears the birds chirping outside. It’s a terrible habit.

kale’s game

[anxiousbabybird]

Kaley this is so fucking cute! I love the green 💙 And the idea of him getting me little surprises each day is honestly the best thing ever. Like I’d tell him every day he doesn’t need to do that and still be surprised when he does it every day. He’s so cute, I’m absolutely melting over him. Your honor I’m in love 😩

Also I’d never heard the song and I’ve listened to it four times now. I love it and I may have to make a Draken playlist just to put this song on it 🥺

Wait I didn’t do that right! Retry lol. Also I love your game so much Kale, it’s so cute!

Okay, so the selfship is Draken and I!

My fave trope is definitely either friends to lovers of brothers best friend 👉🏻👈🏻

A fact about my selfship, I bring Draken lunch to his shop every day so that we can eat together and spend a little time together in our otherwise busy lives. It’s part of our daily ritual 💙

Hehe it’s okay! It’s easy to mess up when I’m asking for a zillion things really 🤣 that’s on me!

Ken loves your little lunch dates. His friends tease him relentlessly for it, but he couldn’t give a shit if he tried. After a few months of this ritual he’s developed a habit of sending one of his men out to pick up sweet treats,flowers, or small gifts for you every day now. You get a new surprise every single day and he loves the way your eyes light up and the smile on your face brightens his day.

[anxiousbabybird]

I'm glad you were having a good day and even more glad I could make it better! I'm doing well! Today's the last day my niece and nephew will be here since spring break is over and they have to go back to school on Monday. I'm going to miss them but also glad I get some time to myself again lol. But we had a nice Saturday and I painted with my niece and watched Blue Lock with my nephew, it was an overall chill day and we got pizza for dinner!

You're so freaking sweet for asking about my selfship 🥺 I'd be happy to tell you all about it 👉🏻👈🏻 I actually think we'd have three types of Saturdays!

The first type of Saturday is during volleyball season. There are lots of weekends where he either has practice or a game on Saturday and on those days, I don't get to see him as much as either of us would like. Our morning starts with him getting up super early for a workout before he heads to practice/his game. Most of the time, I only see him for a few seconds as he wakes me just to kiss me goodbye, but sometimes he'll carry me to the shower and just hold me (because I'm definitely half asleep) and enjoy some intimacy of being close to each other. After he's gone, I'll usually spend the morning cleaning or doing any chores I need to, and then I'll bake some things and make little baskets for his team for the locker room. I bake them protein muffins or healthy cookies, a few less healthy things snuck in too. Then I head to the game or practice, dropping all the little treats off. If it's a game day, I'm in his jersey and I wait outside the locker room so he can get his good luck kiss and then I join the rest of the teams partners in the bleachers to watch the game. Win or lose, our ritual after a game is to stop at his favorite takeout restaurant and pick up food on our way home. We'll eat on the couch, curled up together, and then watch a movie. He always falls asleep ten minutes in with his head laying on my chest and my fingers playing with his hair.

The second type is when we have things to do. This is the most common type of Saturday for us when it's not volleyball season. We usually start the day going out to breakfast or brunch, a little morning date together. Then we'll run any errands we need to, and then we'll go grocery shopping (which is one of my favorite things to do) and he indulges me by taking me to all three grocery stores I like "because they all have different things we need". We'll go home after that and meal prep together, work in our garden together, and I'll usually cook while he finishes up in the garden or gets in an afternoon workout. Then we'll eat dinner and finish off the night with a movie or laying in bed with me reading a book out loud to him.

My favorite way to spend a Saturday with him though is when we have a lazy day at home. This is most commonly on a rainy day when he skips his morning workout in favor of an extended cuddling session, though I can sometimes lure him into these on perfectly nice days too. We spend way too much time in bed these mornings, alternating between lazily making out and cuddling. I'll lay on his chest and trace shapes and we just talk. This is when he talks the most to me, on our lazy mornings. When we finally drag ourselves from bed, we make breakfast (or lunch depending how late it is) together. He likes to steal kisses while I'm cooking and it never fails to make me blush when my shirtless, 6'4" husband leans down so far, cupping my chin and pressing his lips to mine. These Saturdays seem to bring out a special kind of clinginess to him as well and when we sit down to eat, he's pulling me onto his lap while we eat because next to me just felt too far away. After we eat, it's back to bed or the couch. It's a lazy day for a reason lol. We'll watch movies, tv, or sometimes read. The evening usually ends in a shared bath in our huge bathtub and he's a sucker for a good bath bomb.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to indulge in my selfship a bit Patchy! 💙 If you'd like to share, I'd love to hear what your Saturdays are like with the selfship of your choice!

Hello love! I hope you’re having a good day 💙

And hello to you too! I AM having a good day, and you're just making it even better! 💛💛

How are you though? Had this Saturday treated you kindly?? Please tell me, cause I wanna know, what Saturdays look like for you and your Hubby Ushijima (of course if you're uncomfy you don't gotta!)

[anxiousbabybird]

I wanted to not be boring and pick my usual color lol. I love what you did too! This is so fucking cute and you may have just sparked an entirely new AU 🥰 I’m having so many thoughts and ideas about this! Also, idk if it was coincidence or you knew this, but I am a sucker for fireworks and love them so much.

I love this game idea Ry!!

I’ve had a one track mind since your fic yesterday to I’m picking Bokuto but instead of my usual color, I’m picking red ❤️

I was surprised by the color! Also it was surprisingly hard for him for some reason but I love what I finally did 😌

Random HC 🖤 One time, Bokuto skips a game despite knowing how much trouble he can get in because of his contract. He doesn’t care though. You found out there was a festival happening in Tokyo, a less popular festival than most, and you were dying to see what it was about. The craziest part? You two weren’t even dating yet. But later that night under the fireworks, suddenly you were.

Send me a character & a color for a mini moodboard & random HC!

[anxiousbabybird]

Thank you for giving me the inspo to get in my feels and actually write something for my own selfships for once 🥰 I’m glad you enjoyed it Ry!

Okay, my faves as dad’s, I am so prepared for this 😅

Ushijima: he’s a girl dad and 100% a pushover. We both thought he’d be the stern parent and we were both wrong. His girls have him wrapped around their fingers and they get so spoiled. He’s at every sports game, dance or music recital they have, and is their number one supporter. He does want them to be the best and sometimes he pushes a little too hard, but he ultimately just wants them to be happy. Plus, when he became a parent, he promised himself he wouldn’t be like either of his own parents.

Bokuto: BEST DAD EVER. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that he would make the best dad. Boy dad hands down although when our fifth kid is finally a girl, he’s thrilled that he finally gets a little princess to spoil. Not much of a disciplinarian but he does enforce the rules that we’ve agreed on and he’s pretty firm with the rules (especially bedtime which surprised me but that’s mostly because bedtime means he and I get to be alone lol). He’s not only at every game, he’s teaching and coaching them at home, skipping his own practices to make sure he’s at their games. And when one of our sons likes art more than sports, he’s all about going to museums and taking art classes with him so he can learn more. All in all, 100/10 dad. Most loving, most supportive, and the most fun of any man I simp.

Taiju: another dad where I’m not the stern one lol. While he is a good dad, it doesn’t come naturally to him. He had to unlearn a lot of bad behaviors from his own parents and also unlearn the way he parented his siblings. Terrified when he found out we were going to be parents because he was so afraid of fucking up like with his siblings, so he ended up reading a lot of parenting books. He loves our kids a lot but he does adhere a lot to the “I want these perfect quiet kids” kind of life and I’m the opposite and love to sing and dance and draw and act crazy with the kids, so he had to adjust. But over time, he did and he’ll even join in our chaos. He does hate when Hakkai puts the kids up to pranks on him, but he takes it with a grimace and bears it. We also have triplets (two boys and a girl), so he honestly had to get used to the chaos from day one 🤣

Shuji: a weirdly good dad. Kids? Accidental. Well, the first one was. But he was very supportive of the situation and at every appointment, only slightly annoying during the birth lol. After the kid was born? Secret softie. He’s one of those dads trying to sneak our boys from the bassinet to our bed with us, arguing how they won’t be this little for long. His favorite part of them being small is watching them eat—he’s a little obsessed with breastfeeding and has 100% fed the boys while I’ve been sleeping lol. Hates when they cry both because “how are they so loud?! My fucking eardrums!” and also because he doesn’t like them being upset and not knowing why. When our boys are a little bigger, he’s teaching them pranks that they pull on everyone who comes over, and on me. We have a girl a few years after the boys and she has her dad, two brothers, and three very large dogs as her own little personal protection squad. Absolutely spoiled like a princess by her dad and brothers, but they also teach her to throw a punch.

Thank you for sharing! It’s all so well thought out and cute and I loved reading it 🥰
