Their small entourage made their way up to the shrine ground. Countless people from different generations, mostly the young ones, ascending the steps while chatting happily with their partners and friends. The cold weather didn't obstruct their anticipation to greet the New Year.
"Daddy, Daddy is strong."
That was what Yuuya believed after he watched his Daddy walking up to each step without even breathing heavily. If it was him, he couldn't even finish half of the long stairway!
"You think Daddy is strong?" Kyoya raised up his brows while smiling smugly.
"Yes!" Yuuya nodded a few times as if he tried to make Kyoya believed him.
"Haha! Daddy is indeed strong! You could even sit on Daddy's back when I do push-up later."
Kyoya laughed heartily as he was amused to receive the little one's praise. Yuuya grinned bashfully when he saw his Daddy looking so happy to be complimented by him.
