So i just saw your kiba with a baby girl scenario which killed me. its so damn cute. May i ask for the same thing for neji please?
All the boys with babies. Love dem bbies
Man, he’s such a by-the-book dad. Neji definitely did all research on babies and how to take care of them since the second that they told him that he was going to be a father. Like her bottles are always hitting three hours, her naps are always perfectly timed, her development is by far one of the fastest in the whole village. His baby has a very strict schedule, and don’t even try to suggest anything that is not the absolute best option for his little one. He wants his little girl to be absolutely perfect, and so he will do everything in his power to make sure that she makes it through infancy as peachy as possible.
He knew what he was doing, just because he did all of that research, but reading it and doing it are two very different things, so it definitely takes a little bit for him to become completely adjusted to life with a newborn. And he might get a bit uneasy if she doesn’t take her whole bottle or sleeps less than she should, or something relatively minor that doesn’t follow whatever research he’s done. Part of him thinks that every baby should follow whatever the book says, so it’s definitely an adjustment for him to have to deal with the whole, ‘baby does her own thing, and as long as she’s growing and developing, she’s perfect just the way she is’ thing. He does get better with it as she gets older though.
When he first held her, he was very overwhelmed with so many thoughts. That was his baby, his daughter, and he’s just wants her to have everything and he is certainly willing to do whatever it takes to give it to her.
But in all seriousness, if he had a little girl, he’d be the most protective dad in the entire world. Like, almost no one is allowed to touch his little girl; him and his wife and that’s about it. Don’t touch his little one, don’t breathe on her, don’t even look at her. That is how protective he is of her. Bless her little heart when she’s old enough to date…
He definitely try to work a little more with the man clan after his daughter was born; mainly he just refuses that his daughter have the same curse seal as he does, and have that same fate. It would literally break his heart to have to see her have that same seal branded on her, because that means she’s just a tool to the main branch and not her own person, and that’s not something he could really face. It’s something that he doesn’t like to think about at all.
I see him being one of those “no paci” type parents. Not quite sure why, but he just gives me that vibe.
The time she first giggled, he thought that it was so gosh darn cute, that he literally turned red and held his hand over his mouth to hide his own laugh. There is nothing else that is cuter in the world than his baby girl’s giggle.
Loves reading her books for some odd reason, and half the time they aren’t even children’s books. He will straight out read her adult books or like explanation a battle plan or an atlas to her while she’s doing tummy time. On top of that, he’ll read it all like she’s comprehending every word, and it’s just a cute sight to see.
He’s super good at styling her hair and makes sure that it’s taken super good care off. She was born with a lot of it, and it’s super smooth and shiny; usually has a barrett in it or something. Best Baby Hair award def goes to Baby Hyuga.
Neji’s daughter gives people the most ridiculous glares; it’s kind of funny. She acts like she’s a lot older than she actually is half the time, and it’s the same intensity of a glare that Neji can give so, it’s certainly a sight to see. You’ll never feel more judged in your life than when you’re in the same room as Neji and his daughter.
Funny story about Neji and his daughter’s Byakugan. All through infancy, Neji’s daughter had a little plush rabbit that she literally carried everywhere; Hinata gave it to her as a gift when she was born, and she’s literally had it ever since. She has never parted with it once, because like I said, Neji’s a “no paci” type of father, so she needed some type of comfort item. Anyway, when she was ten months old, she started to walk, so that little bunny started getting dragged everywhere and got super dirty. Now Neji knew that it was going to be near impossible to get the bunny away from her, but it was getting to a point, where he HAD to wash it, so one day he tried to take it while she wasn’t looking- didn’t work, at all. So he just straight out tried to explain this to his ten month old and told her he was going to take the bunny for like two hours, so that it could go through the wash, so that it’d be clean for her. He then took the bunny from her, and holy Hell she threw the biggest fit he had ever seen; Neji did not know that his daughter could cry that loud; you’d think that she was dying. Still he just threw the bunny in the wash, and just kinda let her have her fit, because she’s normally a really good kid, and in her defense he did just take her most precious thing. But then he returns he finds her just glaring at him as he enters the room, Byakugan activated, and he’s just like “you’re fucking kidding me…” It’s the first and only time he curses in front of his daughter, just because he knows that his wife is going to be livid, because he just activated his baby’s Byakugan, because apparently taking her bunny was traumatic enough to do so. He doesn’t even know what to do, so he just picks his child and and takes her to the washer and they just sit there and watch as the bunny goes through the cycle, and not even for a second does she deactivate that Byakugan; she’s as stubborn as he is. He didn’t even bother to put it in the dryer, just got someone to wind chakra dry that thing and gave it back to his little one, and it was then that she deactivated it. Gave him a little glare, hugged him- while still glaring- and then went off again to do her baby things. Not one of Neji’s favorite moments as a father tbh…
“I’m home! How are you guys? Did you and B/N have fun today, Neji?”
“Y/N, I accidently activated her Byakugan…”
“HOW AND THE HELL DO YOU ACCIDENTALLY ACTIVATE OUR DAUGHTER’S BYAKUGAN, NEJI!? SHE’S TEN MONTHS OLD!”
