Room 308, Saturday Morning

Apr 11, 2009 11:36

Rikku didn't want to wake up yet. It was warm and cozy under the covers, and just the sort of morning where you wanted to snuggle and be lazy and stay in bed all day. Or at least until it was early afternoon ( Read more... )

The door didn't get a chance to open very far before a little boy launched himself forward to attach himself like cling-wrap to Rikku's leg.

He would have said something, but really, he got his expansive vocabulary from his taller, balder father, and he figured the hug just about said it all anyhow.

It was right about that point that Reno realized that he was standing by the wide-open door in his underwear with Rikku's bedsheets wrapped in a knot around his leg.

...

"So! How's about daddy gets some clothes on, and then we go for breakfast or somethin'?"

Breakfast would be an excellent excuse to catch up. And such.

Just as soon as Reno could pry himself from the kids. Pants could wait for another moment of squeezy hugging.

"Mommy should ... get dressed too," Rikku decided, standing up and shutting the door.

She had her PJs on, but PJs were not really Go Out In Public clothes. Even if they were a step up from Reno's underwear-and-bedsheets approach to fashion.

Rede had to take this suggestion into serious consideration.

...

"Waffles?"

Look, waffles were serious business for a young Turk. And Rude made very good ones. But Rude wasn't here. Which was fine. He had faith in Rikku's ability to make waffles, too.

He was a Turk, and a very fine Turk at that, and he was mature and big and absolutely did not need Rikku scooping him up and giggling and planting kisses on him.

He was just going to have to suck it up and deal, then.

"Waffles," she agreed. "As many as you like. And you can tell me all the silly things your dad does around the house."

Well, if Rikku was going to heave Rede up into her arms, then Reno was going to have to do the same with Ruba, dammit, just because he could. And maybe hiking up her shirt just enough in the process so that he could blow raspberries on her bare tummy while he was at it.

Because he was kinda mean like that.

"Yeah, 'cause I'm sure we all wanna hear about Rude scratchin' his ass in the kitchen," Reno laughed a little. Because Rude was totally the dad that did silly things.

... Even if that kinda made him the mom. Uh.

Rikku was going to tease him about that later. Being the Mom. And probably the little spoon, to boot.

For her part, Ruba was giggling and squirming and pulling on Reno's hair.

"Heyyyyy," she declared suddenly. "I wanna ride."

On his shoulders. Where else?

weetinyturk April 11 2009, 21:15:32 UTC

Rede liked it when Rikku scooped him up and gave him kisses. But he was a Turk, so he wasn't going to admit it. Honest.

"Can I have a ride too, please?"

Because watching Reno flip Ruba up onto his shoulders like that, he decided that it looked fun.

He was starting to learn the meaning of the word. Even if his own dads back home had weird notions of the word. Like wrestling and breaking stuff. Reno was Reno, no matter where you went.

"You bet you can," Rikku said, although that meant she had to set him down. (Reluctantly. And with another kiss on the top of his head first.) "But I think we should swap for that one."

She reached over to scoop Ruba up from Reno. She was wee, Rikku was tiny, and Rede would probably have an easier time of it on Reno's shoulders. Right? Right.
