It has been a very long week for Kyojuro. For the whole week, he's been slaying demons relentlessly, and searched for even more demons when his crow kept informing him that the mission wasn't over yet.
Demons rarely group up, for they tend to fight and eat one another, but it wasn't the case for his mission. Dealing with multiple demons that liked to play around and hide at any given opportunity was such a hassle even for Kyojuro!
He's worn out to the bone, and it shows. Yawning here and there, a slight slouch on his posture, wide eyes half-lidded, smile wavering, and his usual loudness has toned down that it worried his peers. Kyojuro reassured them that he was just tired and that he'll be fine once he got enough rest.
It's rare to see the radiant Flame Hashira lack his exuberant enthusiasm and be so jaded. Fret not, he knows just the solution to refill his energy once more, and it's what he's been craving for the whole week!
"Papa's home!"
A smile immediately emerged on his lips as he stepped on the engawa, watching his little bundles of joy run up to him all at once, tackling him into a big, warm hug. One of them, his daughter and the eldest, wrapped her arms around his neck, giggling as her younger brothers tugged her back. "Hey, don't be greedy!" His middle son huffed, while his daughter playfully stuck out her tongue at him.
Kyojuro let out a big, hearty laugh, scooping all his children in his arms, giving them all messy kisses on their cheeks and making sure they won't fall off. This is just what he needed, to be reunited with his family. While he's only been away from them for a week, a week is too long for Kyojuro when he has to leave behind such a wonderful family! They all burst out laughing, the youngest squealing in glee when Kyojuro managed to sit him up on his shoulders.
"Papa! Zoomies!" Pleaded his youngest son, his bright red eyes sparkling in excitement. Kyojuro grinned, all his tiredness washed away as if it wasn't there in the first place as he took in a deep breath, all of his little kids clinging to him tightly. Before he could take off and sprint around the estate, you cleared your throat, rocking your infant child in your arms as you gave Kyojuro, as well as your children, a strict look.
They all froze, staring at you with their big, ruby eyes, like a deer caught in headlights. Your pointed glare trailed to your youngest, middle, eldest, then to Kyojuro, who just gave you a sheepish grin. "...I'm home!" He beamed at you, your children bursting into quiet cheers to not wake up their baby sister. You just sighed as you watched Kyojuro put them all down, shortly after promising to play with them when they all whined for his attention. You had to suppress yourself from smiling at the heartwarming sight of your dear husband interacting with your children like the good father he is.
As much as you wanted this adorable moment to last for a bit longer, you couldn't ignore the bags under his eyes, his messy, unkempt hair, and the prominent weariness on his features. He walked towards you, his hand finding itself to your cheek, cupping and caressing it gently, his smile growing soft and fond. Kyojuro cooed at the baby sleeping peacefully in your arms, children holding onto his hakama pants. "How is she?" He asked, voice low.
"She's been sleeping, as usual, babies don't do a lot, you know." You quipped, which made Kyojuro huff humorously. He gingerly took the baby in your arms, his grin widening as he felt his heart swell at the newest addition to his family. Chubby cheeks, tufts of hair that are similar to his' and all of her siblings' hair, but the best part, in Kyojuro's opinion, was her eyes! They're just the same color as yours, and he felt glad that it was. He loved that the Rengoku genes were still staying strong after centuries, but he absolutely adored the little features that you passed on to your dearest children.
Your eldest got your face the most, looking eerily the same, minus the hair and eyes. Your middle child got your nose, while the youngest got tufts of your hair color. You often jokingly complain to Kyojuro how your family resembled him the most, cursing his family genes under your breath. It'd always make him laugh, as he could not help but agree, but in his eyes, all he could see in his children was you.
"Now, my firecracker, what got you so upset?" He teased, making your roll your eyes playfully at him. "I just got home!" As if on cue, all your kids pouted at you, giving you accusatory glares. You rolled your eyes again, crossing your arms. There was clear favoritism between parents, but you couldn't complain at all. Kyojuro's your favorite as well, jokes on them!
"You sir," You lightly jabbed a finger on his chest, "Just came back from a week-long mission. I can tell from a mile that you're tired, yet you're here trying to entertain our children." You scolded, shaking your head. "I know they've missed you a lot, they're not used to you being away for so long, but you need to rest."
Your children whined at everything you said, wrapping their arms around his legs and inevitably trapping him. Compared to Kyojuro, you're much more strict than he is. You had to be, or your kids would end up being spoiled! As much as you love Kyojuro, his love for you and your children was overwhelmingly too much. You had to reprimand Kyojuro about it, informing him that if this goes on, their attitudes would turn for the worst as they grow older. He understandingly apologized and vowed to restrain himself from doing so, but even then you had to keep him in line once you found out he sometimes sneaked gifts to them.
They collectively give you a headache, but you love them anyway. You couldn't ask for a different family, with how lively and wonderful they are, despite the fact they sometimes drive you crazy. Your strictness is how you show your love for them, and Kyojuro knows this.
He appreciates you with all his heart. He's lucky to have married you in the first place! Kyojuro expresses his thankfulness to you by being the best he could ever be, spending as much time as he can with his family, and tending to all your needs. He knows he has his flaws, but you accept him wholeheartedly, and, if need be, keep him in line if he ever does something wrong. You're a blessing to his life, as well as the children you decided to have with him. It just makes his flame burn, even more, to fight for you! To fight for his family!
"I know I know, but I really missed them!" Kyojuro took a step closer to you, the weight of his children felt like nothing to him, "Can I please just play with them a bit?" He pleaded to you, his bottom lip protruded into a cute pout. Being with Kyojuro for years, you've grown immune to his puppy eyes. But now, with the addition of three, it has become impossible for you to say no to them.
Your eyebrow twitched when your children looked up to you with their signature big, doe eyes, pouting as they now clutched onto your kimono. You turned your head away, furrowing your brows in annoyance, but your lips quivered, trying your hardest not to smile. Kyojuro moved back into your sight just as you predicted, but what caught you off guard was the big, glossy eyes of your now awake baby daughter, as if she overheard your conversation and now siding with Kyojuro and her siblings.
You slapped a palm on your forehead as you sigh in defeat. "Fine," You relented, allowing a small smile to form on your lips as you watched them all cheer happily, including your baby daughter. They're such a pain in the ass, You internally sighed once again, smile widening. At least they're my pain in the ass.
"Don't worry, my dear, you'll have me all to yourself later!" Kyojuro promised, a grinning ear to ear and winking at you. It seems that you took his gesture the wrong way. Heat crept up your neck as you glared at him, tugging on his ear. He yelped, leaning down your height as you continued to tug, but his smile remained when he saw your embarrassment.
"Don't say it like that!" You scolded, letting his ear go and fuming. Kyojuro laughed out loud, shaking his head in amusement. "Say it like what? It wasn't an innuendo!" He teased, watching your face grow redder at what he said, an irk mark comically appearing on your forehead. He laughed again.
Kyojuro felt happy. He felt right at home, with his children in his arms, and with your presence right by his side. Just being with you cheers him up instantly. Warmth spread throughout his body as you went behind him, combing your fingers through the tangled knots in his hair, sighing in satisfaction. You pulled off his hair tie, fixed his hair, then pulled it back into a tiny ponytail.
"There, looks better." You murmur, kissing each child on the forehead. "Don't play for too long, okay? Papa needs to rest," You told them, the stern expression he grew to adore and fear etching your features again. "Okay mama!" They all replied in unison, which made you nod, pleased. You looked back at your husband, evidently worried for him.
"It's okay, Y/n!" He reassured you, suddenly picking up his youngest son and placing him back on his shoulder, all the while his baby girl sucked on her thumb, clutching comfortably on her father's uniform. "This is just what I need!"
You sighed once more, knowing that you can't do anything about it at this point. "Just tell me if you need anything, okay?" You said, taking his sword from him, as well as his haori. He sent you an appreciative look as he nodded, grabbing his eldest daughter and carrying him in one arm, while his middle son wrapped his body on Kyojuro's leg. You internally snorted at the sight before you.
Kyojuro hummed, an idea popping in his head as he grinned at you. You didn't like the look he gave you one bit, narrowing your eyes suspiciously. "Well, how about a kiss?" He requested, tilting his head to the side cutely. "Pretty please, my firecracker?" You let out a snort, playfully rolling your eyes.
You only chuckled, letting your face soften, and took a step forward. You cupped his cheeks with both of his hands, then leaned in, planting a soft, loving kiss on the lips, sharing warmth that you felt to one another with the intimate act. Kyojuro's heart hammered in his chest, no matter how many times you've kissed, it always felt as wonderful as the first.
Whilst you kissed, your children gagged in disgust, groaning and covering their eyes. You pulled away, lips tingling at the contact, and still wanting more as he was tempted to close the gap once again, but he restrained himself. His children needed attention and he'll do his best to entertain them to make up for his week-long disappearance!
"Ewww!" Your eldest puffed out her cheeks as if she was going to puke, to which you just giggled, pinching her cheeks. Kyojuro's smile couldn't go wider, but his heart felt like it was soaring. He's so happy. Contented. He always loved the sound of your laughter, always adored the way you'd grow soft at them.
He loved you so much, and he knows you felt the same way. Why would you marry him if you didn't? Your dazzling smile, the way the corners of your eye crinkle when you laugh, the slight shake of your shoulders, and the small sparkle in your eyes were the things he cherished the most, it felt like he was falling in love all over again.
He's happy if you're happy.
This is just what he needed. His big, happy family.
