May I request something for Kenshin, Ieyasu, and Masamune cuddling their infants?
Sorry, these are pretty short!
Kenshin
Treats them very delicately, as if he’d accidentally hurt them in some way. You know he’s perfectly capable of handling them, and you encourage him to cuddle with them a lot. It’s beneficial for them, too. So with your urgings, Kenshin would scoop the baby into his arms, holding them close to him. Since he’s more wary about his hands hurting them (at least in the beginning, though the notion is ridiculous), he’ll give kisses instead. Soft, light kisses against their temple. You just… melt. It’s such a sweet sight.
“Sleep, little one. We’ll be here to watch over you. …You can go to sleep too if you want, ___________. I’ll take care of you.”
Ieyasu
Actually loves cuddling them in private. He doesn’t do it as often in public—the baby doesn’t make a lot of public appearances anyway (Ieyasu is really particular about their safety). He doesn’t kiss as much as Kenshin, although he leaves the occasional peck on the forehead now and then. He uses his fingers a lot. Playing with their barely-there hair, letting their hand curl up around his finger, stroking their back. Ieyasu really likes stroking their reddish, round cheeks.
“They’re squishy. And red. Just like apples… Who am I kidding, their cheeks look exactly like yours.”
Masamune
A very… bold daddy. Is the kind of dad that has no qualms throwing his baby up in the air, but that’s only because he’s 120% confident he’ll be there to catch them, and they won’t be injured. Despite his rough-tough dad moments, he’s also very sweet with the child. Masamune likes rocking them in his arms, letting them rest their head against his shoulder. Other times he would pat or stroke their back, his warm touch making them fall asleep faster. Pats their bum a lot, too. (Can you imagine Masa’s baby curling up with Shogetsu????? OMFG)
“The way they sleep reminds me a lot of you. With your mouth sliiightly hanging open—OW! Haha, it was a joke! You still look cute like that, though.”
