@uzchis said: "Uncle 'Tachi," The toddler lightly tugs at his uncles pants to get his attention. He was always told to be careful in the kitchen when someone was cooking. "Ryuu'chi keeps squishing my cheeks. Tell him to stooop."
ㅤThe pap pap pap of tiny feet running down the corridor and coming to a halt right behind him immediately catches Itachi's attention, even if he's currently so focused on the onigiri he's carefully molding into different shapes, but it takes him a couple seconds to fully react - exactly because he's so focused, and he needs to slowly place down the miniature fish lest he ruins the last minutes of hard work. Once he does, though, and he turns around to find his nephew's cute chubby cheeks puffed out in as much outrage as a toddler can convey, he must try his best to not appear too amused; not wishing to upset Suen further.
«Does he now?»
ㅤOf course he does. Ryuu is Itachi's son and Mikoto's grandson; showing love by tormenting another through merciless cheek-squishing is a tradition that clearly runs in the family. Of course he does, Suen has such adorable, squishable little cheeks! Shifting to a crouching-down position in front of his nephew after quickly washing off his hands, he resists the urge and, instead, gently musses the toddler's hair before holding out a hand to him.
ㅤ«Then let's go tell him that, if he doesn't stop, we'll squish him right back. Us both together, you squish the right side and I squish the left side.»
