With a lovely expression and a kind smile, Nene opened the door for me.
Nene: "Welcome, Hitohito…. Oh! You really bought them… you shouldn't have bothered…" she said in a slightly embarrassed tone as we entered.
Tadano: "It's no problem… are they still sleeping?" I asked as I placed the shopping bags on a table.
Nene: "Yes, I put them down for their afternoon nap a few hours ago. They should sleep a little longer, I suppose?" she wondered, touching her chin and adopting a thoughtful expression.
Tadano: "That's good∼" I said while pulling her into a hug.
Nene was surprised and didn't react until she was in my arms.
Nene: "Hey… wait, my siblings are still… Hmmm" I didn't let her finish and kissed her.
She resisted a bit, but after a minute, she gave in and instead wrapped her arms around my neck and deepened our kiss.
Nene could be a bit shy and not very active in couple interactions, but once you turned her switch on, she could be the most passionate woman I have known so far.
Proof of this was how her hands twisted on my back until they quickly moved to my shirt, trying to unbutton it.
I quickly took her hands before things escalated further.
She looked at me a bit annoyed for being interrupted.
However, a whisper in her ear was all it took to douse her growing fire as if with a bucket of water.
Tadano: "Although I'd love to continue and devour you right now, remember your siblings are still in the house…"
She quickly calmed down and lowered her arms.
Then she pushed me away and was about to escape, embarrassed.
Nene: "You big idiot… making me do these things... I… Ah!" she growled until I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back to me, applying some force to keep her calm in my arms.
Tadano: "Come on, don't be so disappointed… once we go on our date and have a wonderful day together, only then will I devour you completely without leaving a single bone," I whispered playfully while nibbling on her earlobe.
She shuddered and let out a moan.
However, she no longer resisted and remained calm in my embrace.
Nene: "Idiot…" she murmured to herself.
Seeing her like this filled me with tenderness, and I couldn't help but hug her even more, rubbing my cheek against hers.
Tadano: "Aww∼ Nene, you are so cute ♥∼"
Nene: "AH! Let go of me already, you big brute!" she said while squirming from my cuddles.
After letting her go and while taking things out of the bags, she asked me.
Nene: "So? What are you going to prepare?" she asked curiously as she saw many bags.
Tadano: "Burgers ∼" I said with a smile.
Nene's eyes lit up, and she spoke.
Nene: "Really?!" she asked excitedly.
Tadano: "Yes… now wipe the drool off your mouth, little glutton…" I teased.
She blushed and looked at me annoyed.
I smiled at her reaction.
She then tried to come closer to help, but I stopped her.
Nene: "Eh? I can't help?" she asked, puzzled.
Tadano: "No… today I want to pamper you, so just wait for me in the living room… don't worry, I promise it will be delicious ∼" I said while ruffling her hair.
She blushed at my words, but the happy smile on her face told me everything I needed to know.
Reluctantly, she sat on the carpet and turned on the TV.
Remembering something, I waved my hand, and something materialized, which I quickly tossed to Nene.
She was surprised but managed to catch it skillfully.
When she opened her hand, she saw a small recipe book with many recipes she didn't know.
Tadano: "You once said you wanted to expand your repertoire to give your siblings a more varied diet… well, here you go. It's not much, but it's a reasonably simple one that includes healthy and delicious recipes you could try." I said while working on the meat.
She browsed through the book for a while and then said happily.
Nene: "Thank you very much… I'll take good care of it," she said with a grateful expression.
Tadano: "Don't worry about that… your real gift I'll give you later…" I said in a mysterious tone.
She thought for a moment and then quickly shook her head.
Nene: "N-No, we can't… my siblings are still at home and I… although if you insist, we could try as long as you stay quiet…" she said the last part in a low voice while her face turned red.
Tadano: "I don't know what that little perverted head of yours is thinking, but the gift I'm talking about is an object, hehe…" I said, watching her eyes widen as she realized she had misunderstood me.
I smiled at her embarrassed expression and continued cooking.
Once I finished, I started setting the plates on the table.
I could hear small footsteps approaching, so I told Nene to add more plates.
Soon after, a pair of twins and a little baby entered the room.
The little Kazuya was a small boy with spiky brown hair.
His twin sister, little Nono, was a cute little girl with brown hair styled in two pigtails.
The youngest was baby Nana, her hair tied in a pineapple-like ponytail, taking small, slow steps and looking at us with curiosity.
The twins completely ignored us, focusing all their attention on the food.
Just as they were about to pounce on the food on the table, a pair of iron fists landed on their heads.
Rubbing their heads with tears in their eyes, they looked at their attacker.
It was none other than Nene, their aggressive older sister.
Kazuya: "That hurt, Nee-Chan," the boy complained.
Nono: "Yeah, Nee-Chan, your fists are too hard, you know? This could cause severe brain damage," she added.
Nene rolled her eyes at her younger siblings and started scolding them.
Nana, on the side, just leaned against a wall, looking at me with curiosity.
While Nene scolded the twins, I waved my hands and produced a small caramel candy, offering it to little Nana.
She looked at me and then at the candy before slowly approaching and taking it.
When she put it in her mouth, her eyes widened, and she smiled at how delicious it was.
With much effort, she leaned against my leg, giving me a pleading look.
Tadano: "So young and already knows how to manipulate others," I joked while picking her up in my arms.
She just laughed when I lifted her, then started playing with the peculiar flower in my hair.
The baby's laughter caught the attention of the twins and Nene, who looked at us.
Nene looked at me incredulously, and so did the twins.
Little Kazuya quickly recovered and glared at me before shouting.
Kazuya: "You! Put her down right now! Pervert!" he said while jumping at me.
I rolled my eyes at the accusations of this brat.
This brother likes breasts, okay? You're too young to understand…
I thought to myself.
Shinomiya: "Pervert…"
Tomoya: "Pervert…"
Nagisa: "Pervert desu…"
Tadano: "..."
With Nana in one arm, I used the other to grab little Kazuya by his clothes, preventing him from falling awkwardly to the ground.
Then I put him back on the floor.
The boy looked a bit embarrassed at being rescued by his enemy but quickly shook his head and tried again.
This time, however, he was stopped by the most unexpected person.
Nana: "O-Onii-Chan… D-Don't attack…" the little baby spoke, extending her hand to stop her older brother.
Nene: "???"
Tadano: "???"
Twins: "???"
Shinomiya: "She can talk?" he asked, astonished.
Tomoya: "Well, Ushio started talking at an early age…" he said thoughtfully.
Nagisa: "Yes… she started talking at a year and a half…" she said with a proud smile.
Soon after, both of them became depressed.
Little Kazuya was so stunned that he tripped and fell to the ground.
To which his twin sister, Nono, started laughing energetically.
Kazuya stood up, embarrassed, and glared at me furiously.
Before he could make another attempt, an iron grip kept him rooted in place.
Nene: "What do you think you're doing to our guest?" she said with a smile that wasn't a smile on her face.
The little boy was scared to death and started trembling.
Before he could wet himself, I approached Nene and pulled her cheek, saying.
Tadano: "Mah… Mah… don't get so angry with a child, besides if you do, the food will get cold and won't taste good, right?" I said, pointing to the plates on the table.
Nene looked at me, still somewhat annoyed, but then looked at the plates on the table and nodded.
Leaving the twins, who were expecting a good scolding, completely astonished.
Then she took the twins to wash up for dinner.
Nene: "I'll leave Nana to you…" she said while leaving the room.
And so, I was left alone in the room with a baby in my arms.
I looked at her.
She looked at me.
Then I pointed to the sink.
She nodded.
After washing her hands and stealing a few fries from the twins' plates, we sat at the table.
Each of us had a fry in hand, and we clinked them together in a toast before eating them quickly.
At first, I thought about putting Nana in the high chair on the side of the room, but she refused to let go of me, clinging to my arm with her little hands when I tried.
Seeing her indifferent expression but refusing to let go, I let out a sigh of helplessness and continued sitting at the table with Nana in one arm while she found it amusing to play with my hair, which now that I think about it, I hadn't cut since I arrived.
It was a bit longer now and easy for Nana to grab and play with.
When Nene returned, both children ran to their seats and, after sitting down, looked at me with curious eyes while asking many questions.
After answering a few, Nene clapped her hands to get their attention and made both children pay their respects before starting to eat.
The children's eyes sparkled after the first bite.
Then, they began eating with wild abandon, making satisfied noises at how delicious the food seemed to them.
Nene was also surprised by the taste and asked me many questions about my cooking process.
I happily answered her questions while eating.
Nana, in my arms, occasionally picked from my plate, refusing to move even when Nene tried to be firm.
The result?
Nene was completely ignored while Nana continued eating with an unperturbed expression.
When this happened, I couldn't help but let out a small laugh that I tried to hide, but Nene heard it and shot me a look of anger.
Before she could get angrier, I started feeding her to calm her down.
She blushed a little at being fed in front of her siblings but ate nonetheless.
This surprised the twins even more.
Nana remained indifferent, occasionally trying to mimic me by offering me some fries or bits of rice she scooped with her spoon.
After we finished eating and while Nene was taking the dishes away, I grabbed the bags with the gifts and brought them to the table.
It was a bit challenging to do with one hand since Nana still refused to let go of me.
I then distributed the gifts to each of the little ones.
Both twins' eyes lit up at their presents, and they thanked me profusely before running off to play with their new toys.
When Nana saw her new plush toy, she jumped on it and took it with her to play.
It was cute watching her walk while dragging the bear along.
When we were alone, I approached Nene, who was washing the dishes.
Wrapping my arms around her from behind, I murmured in her ear.
Tadano: "You have a lovely family," I said as I rested my head on her shoulder.
She turned slightly and planted a kiss on my cheek.
Nene: "Thank you so much for playing with them and giving them those gifts... you're very kind, Hitohito," she said affectionately.
Hugging her tightly, I replied.
Tadano: "Not at all... they will be my family in the future too, so it's only natural to spoil them a bit, right?" I said while breathing in the sweet scent she emitted.
It was a gentle and soft fragrance.
Nene: "Hahaha... stop, you're tickling me," she said while letting out a few giggles.
Tadano: "How can I not enjoy pampering my lovely fiancée~" I said as I kissed her on the cheek.
She dried her hands and turned to face me.
Then she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.
It was a gentle and soft kiss, filled with her deep love.
Tadano: "You know, your housewife look is very sexy," I said as I placed my hands on her waist.
She blushed a little but bravely asked.
Nene: "I see... so, what are you going to do about it?" she said with a coquettish look.
My eyes sparkled, and a desire to push her down overwhelmed me, but I restrained myself.
Tadano: "You have no idea how much I hold back from pushing you down and making you mine right here and now..." I said in a tone filled with lust.
She blushed but didn't pull away, a faint pink tinge starting to appear in her eyes.
