Flower gardens- Shunsui x Jushiro x The Garden
For @shunukiweek! Prompt 1, flower gardens. I have another entry for ShunUki week coming because I love these two fine ass men. The Garden is an AU! I share with other incredible Tumblr blogs where Shunsui is in a polyamory with multiple partners including Jushiro. Vincent is the eldest child of my self insert while Kushboo is @villainsrtasty 's eldest! In this they're both about 8 so many of the garden kids are literal toddlers and babies.
CW- Mentions of the garden (look at other posts for Shunsui specifically if you want more), old men being affectionate to each other, other than that just fluff!

Jushiro took a long sigh as he rang the doorbell to the Kyoraku estate. He’d been preoccupied with his declining health lately. However, Shunsui and his harem of partners had been a constant source of comfort in these trying times.
Multiple of Shunsui’s “flowers” had visited. Bellflower had taken multiple days out of her schedule to look after Jushiro. Daffodil and Lotus had brought practical feasts to his door to help him recover (when he had the stomach to eat of course). Shunsui himself had visited to help Jushiro catch up on paper work.
He arrived that fateful August day to return their kindness. The large gate opened to a smiling Daffodil.
“Jushiro! Are you alright? How are you feeling?” She asked frantically. She placed a hand against his forehead as if second nature. Jushiro laughed, touched by her concern.
“I am alright, Daffodil! I’m over the worst of it.” Jushiro reassured. She removed her hand with a relieved sigh.
“Thank goodness. Seems your temp is back to normal.” She straightened her kimono with her hand “How can I help?”
“I brought these for Shunsui and the garden. As thanks for looking after me these past two weeks.” Jushiro held up two plastic bags. She couldn’t see the full content but she noticed various bottles and small packages.
“You didn’t have to, Jushi! We are always happy to help you out. You’re part of the garden after all!”
He could feel his cheeks heating up. Daffodil giggled at the redness blooming across his cheeks. She took one of the bags from Jushiro.
"Come in. We're about to have lunch. Everyone'll be so happy you stopped by. And that you're feeling better, of course!"
Jushiro entered the backyard where Shunsui, the other flowers and their children were gathered. Shunsui sat, legs spread with two of his eldest children, Kushboo and Vincent, sat on his lap. They were giggling about something when they heard Jushiro's footsteps. The moment the two sets of brown eyes fell on the older man, they beamed and jumped down.
"Papa Jushi!" The pair cried as they raced over. Jushiro knelt down to hug the two. He'd always had a soft spot for kids but especially the offspring of Shunsui.
"Hey you two! " Jushiro asked as he hoisted the two up into his arms. The chorus of giggles crescendoed as they held on tightly.
"Jushiro, be careful!" Shunsui said with concern as he walked closer.
"I'm alright, my dear. I'm over the worst of it, don't worry about me." Jushiro reassured him. Shunsui gave a half smile as he pressed a kiss to Jushiro's forehead.
"I'm trusting you to not over do it again. You know how these two get."
Jushiro barked out a hearty laugh as he glanced between the kids.
"Are you two causing trouble for your papa and mamas again, huh?" He chastised teasingly.
"Nuh uh!" Kushboo protested with a pout.
"We've gotta be good for Santa!" Vincent added.
"Santa? December's far off yet, you know!" Jushiro said as he set them down.
"Yeah but if we're not good now, we won't get presents for Christmas!"
Jushiro hummed as he held his chin between his thumb and forefinger.
"Dearest Lotus found a method to keep them on their best behaviour. Seems to be working... For now at least." Shunsui whispered into Jushiro's ear. Jushiro laughed again, grinning widely.
"Hurry up, you lot! Lunch is ready!" Lotus called from the table. The two children hurried over to the table. Shunsui's arm wrapped around Jushiro's waist.
"Shall we, my love?" He said. Jushiro turned to him with a smile before planting a kiss to his lips. Shunsui's lips were far softer than the last time they kissed.
"Of course, darling."
