RL-dealing with the kids

[clockmaster]

Closing the door, Hakuba leaned against the wall and waited  for a moment. He could hear Kaito-kun and Akako-chan  running around the house playing another game. At least Aoko wasn’t with Watson, he nearly died when he saw the poor pet with a pink bow on her neck.

Since no one was there to see, he allowed a worried expression to creep onto his face.  He had hoped that Akako wasn’t very angry at him for leaving her alone with the kids while he went to find Maxwell. Hakuba brought her flowers, but he doubted that if it was going to do any good. Hakuba looked at the flowers on his left hand, he didn’t know his favorite flowers, so he bought her azaleas. Next, he looked at the black cat on his right hand.

“Welcome home.”


(OOC: In the language of flowers, Azaleas mean love, romance, first love, fragile passion, temperance, and it is also the Chinese symbol of womanhood :3)

"I'm a witch, Hakuba Saguru. Don't underestimate what I can do." She crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot on the ground. "I suppose that is Mr. Smart?" she asked, motioning towards the black cat.

"I never, madam." Hakuba nodded, a calm expression on his face. "Yes he is, but you already know that."

The blonde detective show her the flowers.

"Uhm...that's for you. You can burn them if you want." he blushed furiously, and hoped that he didn't sound as pathetic as he thought.

Akako eyed the flowers in Hakuba's hand. How did he know she was seriously considering burning them to relieve a bit of stress?

Of course... she couldn't actually bring herself to burn them. It was a nice gesture, and destroying his gift to her would have been quite rude.

She took the flowers from Hakuba tentatively. "... thank you," she said, "They are quite lovely."

You're lovely too, he wanted to say, but he know that he couldn't. "You're welcome, Akako."

He looked around, the foyer was a mess, and he caught a sigh of the living room, the whole room looked like a war was going on. It wasn't a surprise that Akako was so angry.

"If you want to take a bath or something to relax, I will put in order the house and I will look after the kids." too bad that his his home-help had the day off. "But they're playing with max now, I think they're distracted enough."

Akako followed Hakuba's gaze towards the mess in the living room and sighed. "I don't understand how Kuroba-kun's parents dealt with him as a child," she commented, "Do you know how much energy he has, Saguru? Particularly when he's paired with Nakamori-san..."

oh, I know, when he's being KID he acts like that too, Hakuba thought.

"I bet that he was easy to deal as a real six years old. Now he's tall enough to open the doors. I locked the library for security."

Hakuba made a face. "Aoko-chan drew a bird on one my bedroom walls. A really big one. She thought that I would like it."

Akako giggled, and she could already feel herself beginning to relax more now that Hakuba was home and here to help her. "I'm sure I could conjure up a quick spell to clean it off, Saguru." She said.

Speaking of spells...

Akako muttered a few unintelligible words under her breath and waved her hand. In an instant, the mess in the living room began to clean itself. She turned to Saguru and smiled slyly.

"That will help a lot." He responded, noticing that she was less angry. He found himself releasing a small breath he hadn't known he was holding.

He blinked in surprise when Akako used her magic, he couldn't see that everyday.

"Wow." Hakuba said, gesturing to the room."That was amazing."

(OCC: I'm going to sleep, see you tomorrow)

"You mortals always seem fascinated by the simplest things," Akako replied. She paused for a minute to listen for Kaito and Aoko, who seemed to be enjoying themselves safely in the kitchen, before heaving a sigh, entering the now clean living room, and taking a seat on the nearest chair. She sighed and rubbed her temples. "I cannot wait for this to be over," she grumbled to herself.

"Beauty always fascinate people." Hakuba responded, following her. He stopped after her and looked at her antics. "You shouldn't worry, it's not going to be for long."

Hakuba paused for a minute, doubt clear in his eyes, before gracefully moving his hands over Akako's shoulders and start to give her a massage.

"I can stop..or you can turn me into a frog if you want."


(occ: ooh badtouch! XD)

Akako stiffened when Hakuba's hands found her shoulders. Despite being worshiped by nearly every man alive, she wasn't used to such intimacy. She relaxed after a moment, however, and a knowing smile creeped onto her lips. "I'll turn you into a frog later," she replied.

((Pfft, he's getting bold now isn't he?))

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"I can deal with that." He smiled, even if she couldn't see him, and keep working on her shoulder.


((XD))

Akako could hear the smile in Hakuba's voice, but she didn't say anything. She was entirely too exhausted at the moment.

She was never having kids. Ever. Not if taking care of them was this tiring.

So with Hakuba slowly massaging away her stress, Akako leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes, before drifting into a light slumber.
