Holy fuck the slowburn between Alphen and Shionne is melting my heart, I adore them so much. I’ve never wanted to open up a doc and write two characters just living a happy life in love this badly. They deserve it so much.

Shion slid his hands down his pale green shirt, smoothing the crisp fabric and frowning at the mirror. “Would the blue be better?”
“Your mama’s not going to care what you’re wearing, Shion.” Nezumi called from where he sprawled on the bed.
Their old room in West Block had been left untouched while Nezumi and Shion were away. Returning to the space felt familiar. After a good dusting and airing out, the pair were pleasantly surrounded by the mementos of a life lived together.
Shion huffed, eyes turning to his unruly hair. “That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t at least try to look nice.”
Shion began attempting to smooth disobedient bits of hair into place. He was only vaguely aware of the sound of a book snapping shut and approaching footsteps. Giving up on his hair, he turned his attention to the astonishing amount of lint built up on his pants. Arms wrapped around him from behind. His body relaxed back into Nezumi as he straightened to make room for the solid comfort of his arms.
“You look like you’re going to be late.” Nezumi said, lips curling up at the edges.
“We’re not–” Shion started. Nezumi lifted his arm, filling Shion’s vision with the watch from in No. 3. “Oh.”
“Oh.” Nezumi echoed, his smirk softening into a smile. “Come on. You already made Inukashi wait what, five years for this? Gonna make them wait longer?”
“Okay,” Shion sighed. “Let’s go.” He glanced at his reflection one last time as Nezumi tugged him to the door.

“Shion. Shion. Wake up.”
There was a light shaking of his shoulder, and Shion groaned and rolled over to face the other man. “Five more minutes, Nezumi. It’s too early for this.”
A screech sounded through the air, which made Shion groan even louder. “I was up late wrapping presents because someone was too busy trying to perfect their ‘Christmas cheer’ to help out. You can go take care of that.”
Nezumi rolled his eyes but sat up and stretched before pressing a kiss to Shion’s forehead. “Alright. I’ll go take care of Shion Jr. But you have to make the coffee.”
Another piercing cry and Nezumi untangled himself from Shion while the latter rolled his eyes (he hated the fact that Inukashi had named the baby after him but Nezumi seemed to get great enjoyment from it) before leaving to go feed the child.
After a couple more minutes spent lying in the warmth of the sheets, Shion crawled out of bed and into the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. He’d been looking forward to spending their first Christmas together as a family but he hadn’t realized just how exhausting it could be. He’d have to apologize to his mom when they went to visit for all the early mornings he’d forced out of her.
“Merry Christmas!” The sound of Nezumi’s voice was accompanied by the feeling of a Santa hat settling around his ears.
Shion leaned his head back and met Nezumi’s lips in a sleepy kiss, and Nezumi wrapped his free arm around his waist. With Shion Jr. dressed in a mouse onesie gifted to him by Karan, and matching Santa hats for the adoptive parents, the three would not have been out of place on a Christmas card.
Until Shion Jr. started crying. Again.
Shion groaned - he loved his family and the happiness they carved for themselves out in the West Block (ever since the wall was destroyed things in the city were better but Nezumi still couldn’t spend much time there - he made an exception for trips to karan’s bakery just for the cherry cake though) but raising a newborn at was far from easy.
