Masaki was ignored when he tried to discipline his kids with a method that Sho can't agree.
Chapter 20
Sho's heart pained when he saw his children started to cry. Standing straight while facing the wall with their hands up in the air for 20 minutes was not easy for 6 years old kids. He tries to signal to Masaki to let them off, but he was ignored. "I won't starve my own kids, but we need to discipline them when needed. So please stop looking at me with your puppy eyes and eat your dinner. I'm not going to let them off easily" Sho didn't argue but he can't stand to see them standing with hungry stomach. They started to glance to him too asked for help and Masaki saw it "Don't try to ask your daddy for help now when you were not listening to him just now. Stand straight and look in front." Both kids turn back their face and stand straight facing the wall. Masaki didn't like to be the one to punish them especially when he had limited times to spend with them, but he lost his patience when they kept ignoring their daddy calls for them to shower and get ready for dinner while enjoying the new games Nino brought earlier when they came for lunch. The kids were about to grumble when the television was shut off and the game console cable were pulled out but kept their mouth shut when they realized it was their papa instead of their daddy who did it. "No games till I said yes even when I'm working, I will make sure you can't find this consoled." Spending less time at home made him a bit scarier father than Sho and he is always the last solution when the kids were not listening to his husband. After finishing his dinner, Masaki called the kids to the dining table. "Do you know what your mistake was?" The kids nodded their head. "So, what you need to do now?" Masaki asked again. The kids went to Sho and apologised for their mistake. Sho wiped their tears with his thumb and asked them to seat near him. Sho put more rice to his plate and feed both. Masaki tried to stop him but changed his mind when Sho shoot him laser glanced and went to watch TV in the living room. He heard the kids complains about their tired hand and how bad Masaki was to punish them. Masaki heard how Sho tried to defend him and make them understand why they were punish to sooth them. If he is a woman, Sho will be the perfect mum. Although He didn't like to be called as the kid’s mum, but no one can deny the fact that Sho is the best person for that role in their family. After finished their dinner, the kids flocked to their papa in the living room. "Papa! We are sorry." Ryo said and hugged him tightly. Rei hugged him tightly from his left. Masaki kissed both of their head "As long both of you realized your mistake and didn't repeat it again, I won't punish you again. I love both of you so much." The kids nodded their head. Sho came with juice for everyone but he ignored Masaki. It was expected as Masaki knew Sho hated to punish the kids before they eat, and Masaki was ignored for the whole night till they went to sleep.
It was still dark outside, but his eyes were awake. He can't sleep properly without the warm of the one beside him. Sho was still sulky about Masaki punishing the kids with empty stomach last night and Masaki was totally ignored the whole night. Masaki look at his love who was snoring softly next to him and wondered how tired he must be. Both woke up early yesterday to prepare for lunch for their friend whom they had invited to their house. Everyone was there, made him miss Jun since he was the only one missing. He knew how much Jun want to come back and settle down in Japan but the hotel's management in US still need him to be there. Toma was happy to meet Daigo again and Daigo was happy to meet Nino and Satoshi, whom he only saw in their photos on Jun's table in his dorm. While the men enjoyed their talks, Keiko spent her time with the kids. The kids were excited to show Keiko their newly renovated room and their treasure box of Yuri's item to her. Keiko felt touched when she saw all item were well kept in good condition, but she was cautious to talk much about her till Sho gave her and okay signal. "Aunty Keiko know your kaasan well, so you can ask her about your kaasan." Ryo asked a lot of questions, Rei only listen but there was no hate reaction from her like before and they were glad to see it as if she started to accept Yuri back at part of her life. Later they will meet Keiko and the lawyer. Both Masaki and Sho will be their trustee for the inheritance till they reached adult age to receive the money. Poverty not only change Yuri, but it also made her wiser in managing her financial based on all the shares, investment, saving plans and her two apartment. Masaki was surprised to know Yuri had bought a house in Chiba for the kids. Keiko said she only knew about it after Masaki left with the kids.
Masaki wanted to be pampered by the one who was sleeping next to him. Slowly he started to stroke the other member that was still soft. No reaction from the other who was still deep in his sleep. Sho was awake when he felt the heat on his member. He tried to ignore it, but his body betrayed it when it twitched and hardened. Masaki smiled when his love finally reacted. The suck became harder and Sho can't pretend to sleep and hold his moans any longer. "Ma....Kun..." His fingers buried in his husband hair. Masaki ignored it and continue to suck while the fingers of his free hands playing with the nipples till Sho came in his mouth. "Tasty as always." Masaki can't hold back his laughter seeing his love pouting while catching his breath. "It's rude to disturb someone else sleep in the middle of the night." Sho retorted. Masaki laughed and started to kiss all over Sho face to make him more irritated. Sho cupped Masaki face to look at him. "Are you still angry?" Masaki asked, Sho just nodded his head without any word. Masaki claimed his husband lips till they were out of breath. "I will only forgive you if you come in me." Sho replied to Masaki earlier questions. "Your order is my command Sho-chan" Masaki replied and lead both to their hot steamy moments.
Koharu ran to her best friend as soon as she saw Rei. Both girls apologised to each other. "Koharu was very worried because she thought Rei-chan was sick because they were fighting. How I wish we can also think as simple as the kids." Both fathers laughed at Horikita's word. "Rei-chan, missed Koharu too and she was nervous to see her. Kids will always be kids and I think they are most sincere at this time." Sho replied and excused himself and Masaki since they need to reach the lawyer office in 30 minutes.
Masaki's step felt heavier once he saw the entrance of the lawyer office in the 25th floor of one of the skyscrapers located in one of the exclusive business district in Tokyo. Coincidently, the lawyer that handled Yuri properties matter was one of the lawyer from the same firm of Matsumoto Corporation legal advisor. The memories of six years ago came to his mind. That was the last time he stepped into that office and the last time he was registered as Yuri's husband after their marriage was annulled. He never imagined that he will step into this office again. Sho wrapped his arm around his love waist "I'm here with you now and we are here today for our children." Sada sensei, the head of Matsumoto Corporation legal advisor with Tachibana sensei, the lawyer who oversees Yuri's inheritance greet them as soon as they stepped in. Keiko and Daigo were there with them. "What a small world Sakurai-san." Sho shook his hand and introduced the others to them. Tachibana is one of the lawyer who work in his team but specialized more on personal inheritance, Sada sensei join them since Sho had ask him for advised on stocks and investment that Yuri had left for the kids. The process went smoothly. All the stocks and investment will be handle by Sho's personal wealth manager who had been handling his own investment but will be closely monitored legally by the lawyer. Sada sensei, passed Sho an envelope with a document that Sho had requested. "Sakurai-san, Aiba-san, are you sure this is the best option for the kids? Legally yes, they are Aiba-san children, but they are also Murakami Corporation legal heir which I believed you know what it's mean if we can prove that Murakami Shingo is their biological father. This may be good for their future." Most people will agree with Sada sensei but not both fathers. "I understood what you meant but wealth didn't promise a happiness. They are my kids and will always be. I won't trade them for anything else as they are the best fortune of my life." Sada sensei understood how Masaki feels but as a lawyer he needs to explain the pros and cons before his client make any decision. "This document here indicated that Murakami Shingo had no rights to claim the kids as his at any circumstances and both of you will not claimed any child support from him. Once both parties signed the document we will notarized it and he lost his right to fight for them in their whole life unless this agreement was revoke and it won't be easy to do it" Both Masaki and Sho understood what he meant. They are their kids and will always be their kids. "They lost their right since the day he left their mother, we just want to make it official to avoid any issues in future." Keiko was so thankful when she heard Sho's reply. The kids were left in a good hand. Although, they are not a normal structured family, but they love the kids as their own and she knew she didn't need to worry about them.
They finished right before lunch. They will meet with Murakami siblings in 2 days without the kids. They still have around 6 hours before it was time to fetch their kids and Masaki had invited both his parents and parents in law for lunch. He wanted to thank them properly for their helps for the past hectic weeks before he started his long flights. They went to one of the exclusive sashimi restaurant in Ginza. Both of their parents were there when they reached. "So, Masaki-kun when started work again?" His mother in law asked. "Next Monday night Kaasan, I'm flying to Hawaii. Next 2 months I will be flying mostly to US and Europe. So, you won't see much of me." Sho pouting beside him. "It's fine Masaki. It is your job and you don't have to worry about your 3 kids at home, we will be here to help if there is any problems" Masaki is confused with her mother in law words. "3 kids?" he asked. "Ryo, Rei and the one pouting beside you right now." Everyone laughed at Mrs Sakurai answer. Sho can only shoot a laser stare to his mum. "but that is what makes me love him more Kaasan." Masaki pulled his love free hands into his under the table. Both parents are thankful for their kids’ happiness. Sho excused himself when his phone rang. A call from work and came back after 10 minutes with a sour face. "What happen Sho-chan?" Masaki asked. "It's nothing important" Sho smiled and continue to eat. Masaki didn't ask more because he knew Sho don't feel like talking about it at that moments.
They part ways with their parents after 2 hours. Sho suggested to go for a movie since they still have sometimes before picking up the kids, but they can't find any movie show that suits their time. They ended up at Shibuya to shop for new clothes and some groceries. There are always disapproving eyes on them whenever they were out together. But being together for almost 10 years, they gotten used to it. If their family and friends are by their side, there is nothing they need to fear. Their love is true, and it is not something they need to hide. However, at times, he can’t help to be hurt especially when the talk not only about them but also their parents. Especially when they didn’t even bother to lower their voice as him they want both Masaki and Sho to hear them. Sho glanced at his husband but he seemed too busy playing with his mobile phone. “I wonder how their parents taught them. It must be pitiful for them to have that kind of sons” Sho’s blood boiled up to hear that from one of the old lady behind them. They knew not everyone can accept their relationship, insult them as much they want, he didn’t bother but not their parents. Sho was about to confront the two-old lady when Masaki phone rang. “Mama! Have you reached home?” Masaki pulled his husband hand and linked their fingers. “Yokatta... I’m in supermarket now with your son in law. But he was unhappy right now. Mama! Do you want to talk to him?” Sho frowned, so Masaki did aware of his annoyance. Masaki passed him the phone. “Mama! Glad that you and papa reached home safely” Sho always happy to talk with his mother in law. “Thank you for the lunch today Sho-chan.” “You should thank Masaki. It was his treat today.” Sho smiled at his love. “Sho-chan, whatever others said about you, don’t take it to heart. Mama and papa always love and proud of both of you. I’m always thankful to you for always be by my son side. I believed your parents felt the same way so don’t be sad because we love you.” His mother in law always calm him with her words. He said goodbye and hung up the call. “See, Mama always love his son in law more than me. Trust me Sho-chan even a normal couple may not be happy and lovely like us.” Masaki glanced at the two-old lady and pulled Sho away from them. “Ne! Ma-kun, when did you tell mama about the two obaachan?” Sho asked when they were in their car to fetch the twin. “I heard what they said, and I know you were angry. If I’m the one who said it may not calm you, so I message mama and asked her to call and talk to you.” Masaki explained. So, his husband was not playing with his phone just now but messaging his mother in law. “Thank You Ma-kun, I really appreciated it.” He was thankful and pecked the other cheek. “Just remember that we love each other, and I will always be by your side so don’t bother yourself with others talk. They will always talk that is human nature. As long we are together everything will be fine.” Masaki put his free hand on the other’s lap. “I love you Ma-kun.” “I love you too Sho-chan and I will always love you.” Masaki really want to kiss his love but since he was driving, he can only pinch the other cheeks. Sho pretended to be annoyed but in his heart only God knows how happy he is right now.
Being outside for whole day is tiring and Masaki didn't feel like cooking for dinner that night. They brought the kids to eat pizza and went home. As much as she was excited to talk about her first day in school after her 2 weeks of rest, Rei felt asleep as soon as she sat in the car to go home after their dinner. It was too tiring for her. Ryo was nothing less. By the time, the car reached their apartment, both were deep asleep and didn't want to wake up. Masaki carried Rei up in his arm while Sho carried Ryo with their other hand full of bags and Masaki had to go down for second trip to bring the rest of the items home. Sho was lying on their bed when Masaki entered their bed room. "Our kids grown up and heavier now. Soon, I won't be able to carry them anymore." Masaki smiled at his husband whine. "Yes, soon they will have their own opinion about their life. They are no longer our little babies and I'm glad to be able to see them growing up with you by my side. I'm not sure if I'm able to do it without you." Sho closed his eyes when he felt his husband’s fingers massaging his shoulders. “Tired?” Masaki asked. Sho understood his loves needs when the other hands started moving under his shirt. “I’m all sweaty but I will never be tired for you” Sho turned his head to his right so he can kiss the soft lips that were waiting for his. Masaki laid him on their bed and moved on top of it. “Just once and I will wash your back for you after this.” His lips were claimed once again into a lustful kiss. Surrendered to Masaki ministration and can’t stop himself from moaning in their kiss when he felt Masaki touch on his member. Being in his love arms being love and wrapped in his warms is something that he won't trade even for his life. "Sho-chan, what was the call about?" Masaki asked when they are both back on their bed after their quick shower. It took sometimes for Sho to get Masaki questions when he remembered the call he received this afternoon. "Ma-kun, I have to be in Okinawa this Thursday as we have important guest coming from overseas, So Jun's father wants me to be there with him to welcome them. There are reaching in the morning, so I have to fly there on Wednesday night." They are supposed to meet the Murakami's siblings on Wednesday lunch and Sho don't wish to spend any day far from his husband right now. "So, you have to leave after we meet Murakami?" Sho just replied with a nod. "It's Okay, Sho-chan, I can manage. This is not the first time you went for business trip." "I just don't want to be away from you. Next two months, we don't know how much time we can spend together when you barely on ground, so I really want to spend as much time as possible with you this week and it is our wedding anniversary this weekend." Masaki pulled the other closer to him. "Our anniversary on Saturday and you will be back by Friday evening, right? So, it's fine. No matter how much we want to prioritise our family, there will be time work came first and I promised you we will spending a lot of time together this weekend." Sho just nodded his head weakly. His eyes felt heavier and felt asleep after a while. It will be their 3rd wedding anniversary this weekend and Masaki had secretly plan for a couple trip. It's been a while they really spend time together outside of the house and went for a trip without their kids. Sho preferred home date lately and will never leave their kids for any trips. It's not he hated it, but Masaki really miss their world of two. The last time they went overseas together was more than a year ago when Sho was sent to US for 2 weeks and he happen to fly to US route. Now that Sho had to go to Okinawa, he had to adjust their itinerary again and he need someone helps for this adjustment.
