"What's wrong Itsukie ? Why are you crying?" Daichi asked as he went over to the smaller boy.
Itsuki made grabby hands for Daichi and tried to say something but it just came out as incoherent words.
Daichi picked up his pacifier again and held it this time instead of just shoving it back in itsukie's mouth and hugged him, lifting him off of the bed so he could take him downstairs thinking maybe Itsuki was hungry.
he clung onto Daichi tightly as he carried on crying saying incoherent words.
Daichi went to put Itsuki down on the couch when he finally got to it but Itsuki clung onto him tighter.
"Do you not want to sit on the couch and cuddle with Minki as I make some food?"
Daichi asked softly, running his fingers through Itsuki's hair with his free hand.
Itsuki shook his head and whined
"Noooo~"
Which was the first coherent thing he'd said all day.
It gave Daichi an idea.
"Does Itsukie want breakfast?"
"Noo~"
"Does he wanttt a drink?"
"Noooo~"
"So does he want to watch TV?"
"Noooooo~"
By this point Itsuki was basically clinging on to Daichi as if his life depended on it, getting more tense with every question because he didn't want to be left along as Daichi did it.
Daichi knew that he had to be careful with his next question so asked
"Does Itsukie want to cuddle on the couch with me?"
Itsuki nodded his head and buried it in Daichi's neck, getting a soft smile from his boyfriend.
Daichi kissed his lightly and said
"Okay but only after Itsuki eats all of his breakfast. I need to make it."
Itsuki instantly started to protest but Daichi ignored it and put him down so he could make them food.
He had to admit it hurt him a little knowing that he just left Itsuki there even though he knew he had to make breakfast and if it he didn't know what he did about Itsuki he might of let him skip it just that once but Mrs Park always emphasised he needed to be watched and made sure he ate otherwise he wouldn't.
Daichi made the food as quickly as he could, taking his time with Minki though because she still need medicine, and decided they could eat in the living room because he didn't want to have to keep moving back and forth.
He called Minki into the kitchen so she could eat her food then went to the living room where Itsuki was, with both of their bowls, being met with a very teary (and snotty) Itsuki being comforted by the little pup.
Daichi whistled and Minki turned to him before licking Itsuki's hands one last time and running into the kitchen to get food.
Daichi put the food down on the table as Itsuki rubbed at his face making it extra red and puffy.
Daichi let out a small sigh and grabbed the tissue box, going over to Itsuki to try and wipe his face but Itsuki turned away.
Itsuki was still crying and wanted hugs and cuddles but he was upset at Daichi bnow on top of how he was feeling already meaning that Daichi's life could potentially be made harder.
Daichi quietly called out
"baby?"
taking Itsuki's hand in his own and rubbing circles on it.
Itsuki carried on looking away so Daichi just picked him up and made him face him.
"Park Itsuki . Look at me."
Daichi said in a fake serious tone which he knew Itsuki in big space would know was a joke but Itsuki in little space would respond too.
Itsuki slowly turned his head to look at Daichi with a mixture of guilt and anger.
Daichi let out a sigh before saying
"I know you wanted to cuddle and I left you alone, which i'm sorry for, but I had to get you food. I'm strict because I care. So please let me clean up all of those tears and eat breakfast with you."
Itsuki nodded with a pout on his face as Daichi wiped it, kissing the last few tears away then pecking Itsuki's lips.
"Better?"
Itsuki nodded again so Daichi sat forward and grabbed both of their bowls, handing Itsuki his own before realising
"You can barely use knives, forks and spoons normally... I'm going to have to feed you if I don't want you pyjamas to get ruined... say AHHHHHHH."
Itsuki reluctantly did as he was told, but kept his head rested on Daichi's chest until both of their food was gone.
Daichi smiled at Itsuki and rubbed his back saying
"Good boy . Since you've been such a good boy do you still want to cuddle?"
getting a small nod in response from Itsuki .
Daichi somehow maneuvered himself so that he laid down and Itsuki sat on top of him looking down tiredly.
Daichi expected Itsuki to lie down like a nice, calm person would but instead Itsuki just face planted into Daichi's chest and wiggled around until he was comfy with his ear against Daichi's heart, arms close together under him and legs on either side of Daichi's body.
Minki jumped up to, sitting next to Daichi's head, and Itsuki just began to stroke him since he had nothing else to do other than that and stare at Daichi .
So he did both and Daichi just rubbed circles on his back watching Itsuki cuddle up to him, occasionally kissing his head.
They stayed like that until Itsuki finally drifted off to sleep for his before dinner nap.
