"Itsukie! I give up! I can't find you!"
Daichi yelled as he stood in the middle of the hall way.
Him and Itsuki had been playing hide and seek for over an hour but Daichi had only managed to find him once before the 15 minute timer went off saying it was over.
Daichi honestly felt defeated, especially because Itsukin had managed to find him every time.
In all fairness the house was big and Daichi was still unfamiliar with it, but played nonetheless.
"itsukieeeeee~ honeybunch!"
After getting no response for what felt like the hundredth time Daichi decided to give up and go lie down on Itsuki's bed since that's where he guessed the other would go first.
Daichi plopped down on the bed and let out a loud sigh, pausing the moment he heard a soft giggle.
"itsukie?"
There was no response.
Daichi got up off the bed and paused when he heard another small giggle.
Daichi slowly walked around the room, stopping again when he heard another giggle coming from below him.
He crouched down and noticed a shaking blanket under the bed with little snickers coming from under it.
He gently grabbed a hold of the blanket and in one swift movement swiped it away.
Itsuki screamed and quickly tried to scurry out from under the bed but Daichi caught him and pulled him over to him.
He started to tickle the boy under him saying "Is this where you were hiding all along?"
Itsuki burst into a fit off giggles and laughter, eventually getting out a breathless
"Yeah."
before sticking his tongue out at him .
Daichi paused for moment looking down at Itsuki who was looking up at him mischievously before leaning down and whispering
"You cheeky little nugget."
and carried on tickling Daichi before he shouted
"I CAN'T BREATHHHHHHHHHHahdbsaj!"
Both boys carried on laughing as Daichi fell on the floor next to him.
The room fell into a comfortable silence which Itsuki broke when he finally caught his breath.
"Daichwie?"
"Yes sweetie ?"
"Me thinks Johnathan is Jealous."
Daichi looked at Itsuki slightly confused and asked
"Why's that?"
Itsuki let out a small sigh before answering "Because he's giving me the evils."
Daichi looked at him skeptically before saying "But that's his normal face?"
being confused by Itsuki's sudden declaration.
Itsuki let out another sigh and rolled onto his tummy before replying
"I know, itsukie always thinks Johnathan is jealous."
Daichi suddenly remembered the time Itsuki told him all about his teddies so decided to ask
"Is it because your playing with someone else?"
Itsuki nodded and was about to get up but Daichi wrapped an arm around him to make him stay.
Daichi sighed before saying
"Well Johnathan needs to learn that Itsukie has to spend time with other people too, just like me and your Granny."
Deciding he may as well throw in a life lesson for Itsuki since he promised to teach him to share with that moment being a prime opportunity.
"itsukie knows he has to share but that doesn't mean he likes it... so that means Jonathon won't like it and Itsukie wants to make Johnathon feel better and go give him cuddles so he doesn't feel alone like Me."
"Sometimes in life sweetie, you have to share even if you get jealous. In some situations it's okay like if you significant other is getting up close and person with someone else. But when it comes to little things like chilling with someone you've got to share because people have more than one friend."
Itsuki looked up with sad eyes and whispered "I dun wanna cuddle with Johnathon all da time but I dun wan' him to be sad."
"Then you should talk to him about it sweetie."
Daichi knew it was just a teddy but also knew it was more than that for Itsuki , it was his friend, and if getting him to reason with the teddy like a person helped in some way, it'd be good.
He let go of Itsuki and the other got up getting the teddy.
Daichi stayed lying down and Itsuki sat back down next to him with the teddy.
Itsuki let out a small sigh before saying "Johnathon. We can stay fwends but we gotta... chill? With diffewent pweople. No being jealous cos we gotta share okay? Fwends."
Itsuki nodded then placed the teddy on the bed behind them and lay back down.
Daichi raised an eyebrow and asked
"Are you and Johnathon good?"
Getting a small nod from Itsuki.
"Why don't you and Johnathon go play for a bit and I will go get stuff ready to cook tea?"
Itsuki nodded again and shot up, running away before Daichi could ask what he wanted.
Daichi was just going to have to play a guessing game.
