AN: Hello! Just wanted to give you all a quick Happy Valentines Day! I apologize for the very sad chapter before this one. But I was just in an angst mood and thought it would be very ironic to write something sad on a day about love. So here's a chapter to make up for it! (There's also a special present at the end of this chapter just for you guys :D)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Koji stared at big batter of chocolate and slightly squinted his eyes.
"Let's make it mommy's favorite color." he said.
"We can't." his dad responded.
His puffed out his cheeks. "Why not?" he looked at his dad who was staring at his phone, seeming to be looking at a recipe.
"Because it's going to make the chocolate all lumpy rice ball." his dad ruffled his hair. "We only have the liquid food coloring. If we had the powder one then we could use- OI!" Atsumu watched in horror as his son started to pour in a f/c liquid into the batter of chocolate.
He gently hit his son's head with his knuckles before snatching the bottle away. "What did I just say!" he exclaims.
The boy only puffed his cheeks out and stuck his tongue out at his dad. "Big poopy brain dad!" he insulted.
"Oh yeah!?" Atsumu flung some chocolate at his son as it landed square on his forehead. He couldn't help but snort a bit before feeling a slightly wet and sticky hand go across his face.
He blinked once.
Then twice.
Only then did he see his son have a wide grin on his face.
The two ended up flinging chocolate everywhere, the two of them being each other's target.
It got on the floor, the counter, the cupboards, the ceiling, everywhere and anywhere at this point. The two were having fun, completely forgetting what they were doing.
Y/n on the other hand was working hard. She quickly rinsed the dishes before lifting up her knees and arching her back.
"My back hurts..." she mutters.
"Imagine being old." one of her younger coworkers joked which earned them a good slap to the head.
"Your raise is on the line." the female joked.
"You were going to give me a raise?" they gasped, putting a hand on their chest. "On Valentines Day? You shouldn't have!" they stated.
"Can you leave? You're more bright than the dishes L/n washed." another said while they were cooking.
"Am I just that dazzling?" they questioned with a smug look.
The two stared at each other before Y/n softly chuckled.
"Okay back to work you two, or else we're all not getting that raise." she stated.
"Yes ma'am!" they said in sync.
The h/c haired female chuckled softly and started to put some food on some plates that customers had ordered.
"Got anything planned after work L/n?" her coworker asked.
"Not particularly." she hums. "Maybe a small surprise by my husband and son, but that's it." she smiled softly at the thought. "Might have to clean up after them though." she stated.
"Why's that?" the cook glanced over at her as she smiled. "My husband isn't exactly the greatest person to be left with a child, since he's a child himself." she answered.
And how right she was.
When she had gotten home there were balloon hearts everywhere, some floating, some on the ground. A helium tank was in the living room as there was a slight burning smell. Raising a brow, she made her way over to the kitchen.
There, she found a slightly burnt cake on the glass plate that was broken in half while there was splatter of lumpy chocolate everywhere while the two people she left at the house were furiously trying to clean everything up.
"Scrub faster! She could get here any minute!" Atsumu lightly scolded.
"Too late." she answered.
The two froze in place before slowly turning their heads toward the female. Unlike Atsumu, Koji acted quickly as he stood up to go hug her with a grin.
"Mommy!" he exclaimed and hugged her leg. Looking up, he gave her a toothy grin. "Welcome back!" he beamed.
Y/n examined her son who was covered in chocolate, only for her to turn her attention to her husband, who was also covered in chocolate.
"And the house is a mess because...?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"It was a surprise for mommy..." Koji mumbled. "Is Koji and daddy in trouble?" Koji looked at his mom as she only let out a small sigh before smiling.
"No, I'm not." she pet his head to which he leaned against the warmness of her hand. "You and daddy get cleaned up, I'll make dinner." she said with a smile.
"Okay!" he grinned. "C'mon daddy!" Koji started to make his way out of the kitchen and towards the bathroom while Atsumu stood there.
"So...You're not mad?" he questioned, staring at his wife warily.
He tensed up as she let out a small sigh. "Just go take a bath with Koji before I change my mind." she said.
He gave a quick mock salute and "Yes ma'am!" before leaving the kitchen to take a bath with Koji.
As Y/n watched the blond quickly leave, she couldn't help but smile as she started to clean up the kitchen. "A bunch of trouble makers." she said to herself.
While cleaning up, she took a small bite of the slightly burnt cake and the lumpy chocolate that was in a bowl.
She chuckled softly as she set the cake aside while putting the dishes in the sink.
'Not bad, surprisingly.' she thought to herself with a smile.
By the time Atsumu and Koji were done with their bath and had gotten dressed, Y/n had already cleaned up the kitchen and was making dinner, plus the sweet smell of a cake baking in the oven.
"Dinner is almost ready so set the table please." Y/n called to them.
"Right!" the two both said.
Quickly, they grabbed plates, bowls, and chopsticks and set them down on the table. Once they were done, they poked their heads out from the frame that lead to the kitchen, only to watch the h/c haired female decorating the cake.
"Can Koji help?" Koji quickly asked as he scampered over to his mom who chuckled softly.
"Of course." she answered.
As the toddler pushed a chair near the counter, Y/n helped him up on the chair before grabbing an icing bag.
Atsumu watched for a moment. He stared in awe as the woman he's loved since high school was helping his kid decorate a kid.
No not his.
Their kid.
He felt his heart swell at that.
He was their kid.
They were his family.
"Are you just going to stand there and watch or are you going to help us?" Y/n broke him out of his trance as she give him a curious look only for him to grin.
"Neither. I'm gonna mess everything up." he started to make his way over and skimmed his index finger on the cake, getting icing on said finger.
"Dad!" Koji whined, only to let out a giggle as his dad smeared it on the tip of his nose.
"Happy Valentines Day." he grinned.
He watched the two people he dearly loved give him a smile.
"Happy Valentines Day." they said in unison.
It couldn't get any better than this.
