"Oh! And please dont forget to remind Muichiro to eat his vitamins! He's really forgetful!" You informed the caretaker who just laughed, "you seem like a mother y'know?"
The caretaker joked as you just smiled, "I get that alot...but also...if you see
Obanai in he garden...its best if you let him be before talking to him" you sheepishly smiled as the caretaker held up a thumbs up,
"Gotcha" The caretaker smiled as you let out a sigh of relief, "I'm glad" you responded as the caretaker nodded, "Now come on! I wanna atleast saw bye before I leave for the day" you smiled taking the males wrist, who was taken aback by the sudden action, but nevertheless followed you,
Your building was a few away so you just uncontrollably rambled about them on your way there, though the Male didnt seem bothered as he just listened to you talk,
It was only a 3-4 minute walk to it was no problem, as before you knew it, you were already there, "Ah! Here it is" you smiled as the Male looked at the building you gazed at,
It was slightly bigger then the others which the Male noticed as you let go of his hand to open the gates, you also passed on the keys to him in the process,
"Here! Just give it to Uka when you're done for the day" you smiled taking the males hand and dropping it on the palm of his hand, "Uka? Did they hire a new receptionist or something?"
The other caretaker perked up at the name as you shook your head, "Of course not! Umaki just called in sick a few days ago"
You explained as you both stepped on the front yard, you two proceeded to go into the building, only to get surprised by everyone already being downstairs,
"(Y/N)!" Daki yelled throwing herself to you as you slightly widened your eyes, hugging the female as you were frightened that she could fall, ignoring the fact you could have fallen aswell, "E-Eh? What's all this about?" You blinked in confusion as everyone grinned at your response,
"We just wanted to celebrate, Y'know..since it's only a few months away until your birthday," Tamayo smiled as everyone either nodded or silently agreed, you only sweatdropped in response,
Usually, you would be flattered, but...in this case...it was quite awkward, "(Y/n)-chan? Is something wrong?" Shinobu asked with her natural smile as you just sweatdropped again, "Yeah! We even prepared some cake to celebrate! We just couldnt wait"
Mitsuri added as you Immediately froze,
Oh dear...how're you going to tell them...you stiffened as the Male caretaker Immediately sweatdropped,
"D...Didnt Mui-San tell you...?" You awkwardly asked as everyone looked at you confused, hekk even Muichiro did,
Everyone slowly shook your head as you Immediately felt a wave of guilt splash you, "Oh..." you responded as Daki pulled back from the hug, only to seemingly notice something,
"Hey wait a second! Who the fu€k is that?!" Daki yelled looking at the caretaker who just sweatdropped as he waved awkwardly, everyone turned their gazes towards the Male who just felt awkward there, "A..About that..." you started,
But really, what were you thinking?! Sure Muichiro's dependable(sometimes) but what were you thinking?! Asking him to tell everyone something?!
●□°●°□□°°●°●•□□•●••□
"Ah..." Tanjiro mumbled as you scratched your cheek sheepishly, the Male just leaned on the wall, not knowing what to say or do,
They seem to have been looking forward to this...
And they seemed pretty salty about him being here,
The Male thought as Muzan sighed, "I told you this was a bad idea" Muzan slightly glared at Daki who just looked dazed,
"That's alright!" Tanjiro smiled as he stood up from his seat, which was Immediately taken by Inosuke, "Eh? It is?" You blinked in slight surprise as Tanjiro nodded "Yep!" Tanjiro continued, continued to shock all the others,
As you formed a closed eyed smile, "I'm glad then!-" you started as everyone Immediately darted deadly glares towards the Male who quietly shrieked,
As they say, if looked can kill, he would be beyond the midgard,
"I'm really greatful! If possible we can just celebrate tomorrow instead Yeah?" You finished as you ended your closed eyed smile, everyone went back to themselves as you smiled,
"See? I told you they were nice, Haru!" You smiled as you turned your head back at the Male, who seemed..., fine on the outside but believe me he was... how do I even describe it, as the Male just nodded pulling up a thumbs up,
Knowing damn well his voice will betray him, "Great! Now I'll leave the rest to you, everyone be nice and dont break anything for Haru alright?"
You smiled as everyone agreed, you quickly picked up the notepad stored in your pocket and gave it to the Male who looked at it in confusion,
"Its not really a provided product but I like to use it daily, so write the things they do today, okay?"
You innocently smiled as the Male Immediately nodded due to Daki's glare, screaming 'you better not disagree', like he wasnt going to in the first place,
And when I say Daki is a huge simp for you along with Gyuutaro,they really are,
You smiled as you fixed your gaze back to your patients, "I'll see you all tomorrow alright? And Aoi, I expect you to try and stop Inosike from breaking walls along with Haru okay?"
You smiled as the female nodded at your request, "Great, now dont give Haru a hard time" you smiled jokingly, knowing they will, but unbeknownst to you, as you walked towards the door leaving with a small simple wave,
And as If that was a signal, everyone grew uninterested as they left, leaving Haru there, and please, believe me when I say if you didnt tell everyone to give Haru an east time, it would have been hell by now,

Back with you!

You smiled as you walked outside the gates, locking it with your own keys, you proceeded to head to the main building which Kiriya is probably waiting for you at,
Today is the day you'll be able to see them again afterall, so thus, wasting no time, you slightly ran towards the main building, running past through all the other caretakers who were still explaining things towards the backup ones,
Who seemed to have noticed you past by, greeted you as you greeted them back, you were quite known to the care center as the 'Heather' but you just shook it off as it was just a joke,
You quickly made it to the main building, slightly sweating as you ran a good few meters,
You let out a small sigh as you opened the glass door to be met by a cold breeze, also catching Kiriya's attention, as he perked up at your presence "Ah, (Y/n), you seem tired, did you run?"
Kiriya smiled? he perked up a brow as he was just sitting right next to the glass door, you just chuckled in response,
"Yeah...I'm actually exited to finally go to the orphanage again! Though I had to make sure Haru knew what he was suppose to do first"
You smiled as Kiriya nodded, "You're very responsible towards your job (Y/n)" Kiriya suddenly complimented as you smiled happily, "Not really...but thank you" you smiled as the Male nodded
"Its true, but we should go now, you said the orphanage was a close walk yes?" Kiriya asked as he stood up, you nodded in response, "Great, then we'll walk" Kiriya smiled as you hummed,
"We should, the weathers nice today" You responded,

..But oh you were so wrong as you both barely made it without getting rained on, you sweatdroped as your cardigan was slightly wet, you took it off to reveal a (C/o/c) (Color of choice) shirt,
"Ah...I didnt expect such a change to the weather today...sorry about that" Kiriya sheepishly laughed as he scratched his cheek,
You just smiled at him as if saying it was no big deal, "It wasnt your fault, atleast we made it without getting soaked"
You joked as you both shared a small laugh, "Let's go inside, I dont think the canopy can hold the rain, it's raining pretty harsh" you suggested as you tucked your cardigan into your arms as Kiriya nodded,
Opening the right door, as he left it open, signaling for you to come in, which you just simply smiled at "I can open doors myself thank you very much," you teased as you opened the other door leaving Kiriya to only let out a small chuckle as he went in himself aswell,
As you were both greeted with a warm feeling, the fireplace beside you warming up the place as you smiled, enjoying the feeling it gave you, whilst some caregivers noticed you, "Ah! (Y/n)-san! Welcome back!" One of the workers greeted as you perked up, "Oh? Royuka! It's nice to see your healthy again" you greeted back as the female smiled,
"Are you here for Akira? They were looking all over for you y'know!?" One of the Male Caregivers informed as you nodded, "Of course I am, though it's been a tight fit due to my job"
You sweatdropped as you scratched your cheek as you three talked for a few minutes before the director came in and ordered them to get back to work,
Oh! And the director! You two are quite close aswell, as you greeted the old man,
Whilst Kiriya just smiled at your interactions finding them quite adorable you were greeting everyone on your way upstairs, and believe me, you could state all their names in minutes or less,
You both finally made it upstairs with no further disruptions, as then, Kiriya formed a small little smile, "You seem close with everyone here" Kiriya hummed as you nodded, "I am, they're like a Third family to me" you smiled looking towards your right to meet Kiriya's gaze,
"Third...?" Kiriya perked up a brow as you nodded, "Yep! One is my adoptive family... second is the building...and Third is here" you explained as you looked back infront, "But Tanjiro said we arent really family anymore so I guess I should have said second instead"
You continued, with a slightly sad smile as Kiriya nodded, "Why'd he say that?" Kiriya asked, letting his curiosity take lead you just scratched your cheek, "Well...I'm actually adopted...sooo..."
You muttered awkwardly as Kiriya perked up a brow, "But arent you both still family even so?" Kiriya asked again,
You were taken aback at the sudden question but nevertheless just shrugged,
"Eh, as long as his intentions are good, which is all the time" you hummed as Kiriya nodded at your response,
"I see, but I apologize for the sudden questions, I was just curious" Kiriya sweatdropped, finally realizing what he had asked you, but nevertheless you just shook it off with a kind smile,
"Its fine" you shrugged as you both made your way towards the room, seemingly to get closer, you looked at the doors until your eyes landed on room no.45, your eyes Immediately softened as you stopped, making Kiriya stop in the process aswell,
"Is this it?" Kiriya lightly assumed a you nodded, "Yep" you softly smiled as you knocked,
Apon Hearing a small yes in response, you opened the door to reveal a young child, or...your young child as you call them,
Their eyes Immediately lit up at the sight of you as they quickly stood up, "OKAASAN!" the young child cheered as they ran towards you,
You Immediately squatted down and enveloped them in a hug as they hugged you quite tight to the fact you patted their shoulder as a signal they were suffocating you,
They giggled as they let go, "I missed you!" The child continued to giggle as they dug themself into, your chest area you just chuckled in amusement as Kiriya watched in awe,
"Mhm...sorry I couldnt visit to often...I'm just saving enough money to buy a house so you can live with me soon okay? Though I still need to pay all my dept from the college loan"
You sweatdropped, letting invisible waterfalls run down your face as the child giggled, "That's okay!" Akira smiled brightly as you felt your heart melt,
You just ruffled their hair as you turned to Kiriya, "Oh right!, I want you to meet Kiriya! He's here to meet you" you smiled as Akira looked up at the Male,
"Kiriya...?" Akira tilted there head, processing what you had just said as she squinted her eyes at the Male who just gave her a friendly smile,
Kiriya slightly chuckled as he slightly bent down, his knees supporting his arms and upper body, "You must be the little Mizuki Akira right?"
Kiriya smiled, releasing a fatherly aura as the child perked up, "Otousan!" The child cheered catching you both off guard as you blinked in confusion,
"I'm calling you Otousan now!" The child slightly squealed in exitement as you both looked at the child In slight confusion, "Um... sure?" Kiriya awkwardly chuckled as the child smiled purely,
"Pfft-" you started as you bursted into light giggles, man you love this kid...

Meanwhile . . .
●■°□°°□°□°°□°□•□•□○
The caretaker was stiffened I fear as everyone glared down on him whilst furiously eating, hekk, the plates would have gotten holes in them if it werent you,
And anyone could tell... even the caretaker as he sweatdropped, hekk Tamayo didnt even let him step a foot inside the kitchen,
●□°□°■°□°°□□°□°□□
Flashback
●□°□°■°□■°■°•□□°□
Haru was walking towards the kitchen as he readied himself to make breakfast, but he couldnt get the chance as he was stopped by a familiar female,
The Male perked up as seeing her arm was infront of him, not letting him to go further as he perked up a brow, "Tamayo-San? Is there something wrong?"
The caretaker asked as Yushiro glared at him from behind, "Apologies, but I prefer to cook alone" Tamayo informed as Haru blinked in confusion,
"But I thought (Y/n)-san, said that you enjoy cooking with someone?" Haru asked as Tamayo slightly furrowed her eyebrows, "Only a few people are exceptions..." Tamayo informed as the Male looked at her confused,
"YOU!-" Yushiro growled catching the males attention, "I DONT REMEMBER (Y/N)-SAN GIVING YOU PERMISSION TO CALL HER BY HER FIRST NAME" Yushiro continued as Tamayo let him be this time,
Both of them have no idea why, but the thought of someone thinking they can replace you irritates them,
Hekk even Tamayo has reasons to slap someone right now
●°■□°■°■°●°□°□°□°□
This wasnt going to be a good day for Haru, the Male thought as everyone kept sending him glances
●°■°□°●°■●°□°□°□°□□°
"And this Is Aiko! They're bigender! Like me!!!" Akira smiled proudly whilst showing Kiriya one of their figures they got from you,
As you just quietly chuckled as Akira was being sandwiched between you and Kiriya, you were brushing the kids hair whilst Akira was showing Kiriya there stuff,
Kiriya pretended an amazed face, hiding his chuckle which boosted the child's confidence,
"Thats great, Akira-san" Kiriya clapped his hands as Akira giggled, "Yeah it is! Its because Okaasan got it for me!" The 7 year old smiled as you felt your heart swell,
"Ohhh, so that's why, I wondered why there was something special about it" Kiriya played along, smiling as Akira hugged the figurine closer to themself,
"I told you! It's not just special to me!" Akira spoke to you as you just hummed in response, "Alright alright, you proved me wrong" you chuckled as you finished brushing the child's hair,
□°■●°□°□°□°□°□□•□•
"Dont.even.think.about.it" Inosuke glared, protecting his alarm clock as Haru sweatdropped "Inosuke-san... I'm trying to dust the bedside table..."
Haru deadpanned as Inosuke glared at him, "DONT TOUCH MY ALARM CLOCK" Inosuke suddenly yelled as the Male jolted from the sudden outburst,
●°□°□°□°●°□°□□°□•□
"The moon? Such an amazing thing to be comforted by" Kiriya smiled as Akira nodded showing him a moon rock you had yet again given to the young child,
"Yeah! I always look at the moon when I'm lonely now! Because Okaasan said when you get lonely, just look at the moon!"
Akira explained as Kiriya formed a gentle closed eyed smile, "Okaasan really Is kind isnt she?" Kiriya ruffled the child's hair as they grinned,
"Mhm! And Otousan is really nice too" Akira formed a toothy grin as you sealed your lips with your fingers, hiding your slight giggle, as you didnt want to ruin the moment,
●■°□°■°□■°□°□■°□°□
