Soran's small embrace broke her resolve and she threw her arms around him trying to stiffle her sobs. "I just wish that.." she sobbed against his neck, "That Blade had come around differently." She sniffed and hesitated when she moved her face in front of him. In one moment of not thinking she leaned forward and kissed him.

Soran held his arms tighter around her as he heard her unmistakably crying against his neck. "I just wish that, that Blade had come around differently," she cried.

He narrowed his eyes and considered how to respond to those words, but his thoughts were broken as she lifted her face to his and kissed him. Soran froze and stared into her tear-streaked face. He wanted to protect her from those tears. There was no reason he couldn't do this. Before he could hesitate, the rogue let his eyes fall shut and met her lips.

He'd never imagined it was possible to feel so perfectly content and absolutely terrified in the same instant as he did then. Warmth glowed through his body as he kissed her for several moments before their lips parted. It was the strangest thing he'd ever felt. He opened his eyes again and stared wide-eyed into Mizuki's face inches from his.

Mizuki wasn't thinking, why should she? She was only aware of them kissing and how great it felt. Her eyes were still closed when they parted. She could feel his warm breath on her face, it calmed her so much her tears stopped and all that was left were the streaks down her face. Slowly she put her head against his shoulder again and nuzzled his neck.

She was content right there, her arms wrapped around his shoulders and he holding her...

Soran held his arms around her tightly, his cheek pressed against her hair. "I wasn't expecting that," he breathed quietly, affection in his voice. This didn't seem possible. Something terrible was supposed to happen just then, while he was vulnerable, but it hadn't. Aside from his stubborn instincts, everything felt right. He held her quietly and let his thoughts drift.

Mizuki smiled and hugged him tighter. "I'm sorry," she giggled, her tone suggesting she actually wasn't. She couldn't really explain what drove her to do that the few times she had done it. Really, she couldn't tell him " 'I love you, that's why.' " It would be weird and probably make him angry, or just dissaproving.

Soran was about to speak again when a small form flopped into himfrom the side. "Mama! Sowwan!" Blade squealed in delight at finding them, wobbling into Soran's lap and standing up on his knee to cling to Mizuki's neck. "I think this one is an acrobat and an escape artist," Soran said, hooking one of his arms around the child's waist in case he fell.

Mizuki started laughing and hugged him with her arm while the other still held Soran.

"Is my son an escape artist?" she joked smiling at Blade. "I wonder if you're terrifying Naoki, eh?" Blade just smiled and clapped and giggled. He thought he was hilarious by managing to sneak away from Naoki and finding his mommy.

"Sowwan duh duh ba ba doo dee daa buh buh." Blade said in his own tounge. Clearly he was speaking to Soran but was incabable of using english.

The rogue stared at Blade for a moment, baffled or awed or both by his monologue. He couldn't comprehend people who fawned over babies, but he was sure this one was different.

"He says to go get the laundry," Soran interpreted casually. He stood up and hoisted Blade with him, then held his hand down to help Mizuki stand and walk back to the clothes.

Mizuki arched a brow at Soran interpretting Blade's words like that. But she took his hand anyway and they walked back to where the clothes lay. They were still there and they were dry.

"Da da da deesh bo buh da dee be da da buh." Blade said, and what was cute was that he said it with a serious look on his little baby face. Mizuki laughed and kneeled down to the clothes and began folding them and putting them in the basket again.

Soran helped fold and stack the clothes until everything was in the basket, leading Blade by the hand as they retrieved each piece. When he was done he set Blade into the laundry basket and picked it up to bring back to the house.

Mizuki stood up shakily and leaned on a tree and grabbed her walking sitting that lay idle on a rock. She limped next to Soran as they went back. Her mind was still on the kiss and Blade was cooing to Soran the whole way.

Soran walked back up the hill and back to the house with Mizuki, slowing his pace to match hers as she used her crutch. Blade was engaged in a lengthy discussion about something the rogue could not comprehend, though he listened intently for some semblance of comprehensibility in the baby's words. He was rather troubled by it, actually, convinced that Blade was talking about something meaningful that he ought to understand rather that simply mumbling gibberish, which was the more likely case.

When they got to the house, Soran opened the door to let Mizuki in and entered after her, setting the laundry down next to the couch and pulling Blade back out of the basket. He carried the child to the couch and sat down, listening intently to Blade only to have the child grab onto the hair falling across his forehead and tug on it curiously.

Mizuki smiled at Soran and Blade and didn't notice when Blade pulled his hair for she had turned around to find her mother.

Blade tugged Soran's hair laughing and cooing. He thought what he was doing was funny.

Soran twitched an eyebrow as the child hung giddily in his hair, cooing more gibberish. He quickly thought of an idea: he took his hands and gently tickled the baby's sides with his fingers, the way Rai always did it. Blade squealed with laughter and released his hair, curling up and pressing into his lap giddily. "I thought so," Soran smirked triumphantly, resting a big hand on the child's head. He's just like me, he thought privately. He wondered why he felt so good, despite not getting any sleep. He had so much sudden energy, and the feeling of kissing Mizuki kept playing back in his head, preventing his pulse from returning to normal. The rogue looked up at Mizuki, who seemed like she was going to talk to her mother.

Mizuki couldn't find her mother in the room presently. Maybe she was in another room or outback. She didn't even see Rai or Siren or Naoki which seemed strange to her. Blade's squeal of laughter made her turn around. She didn't know what caused it but was happy to know that Blade was curled in Soran's arms... and Soran was watching her. A blush crept on Mizuki's face and she wondered if the robe was open somewhere.

"Ahh.." she started heisantly, "I don't see anyone, I wonder where they went." She averted her eyes to Blade who was smooshing his face into Soran's chest like he was trying to find something. Abruptly he started fussing and put his little hands flat on Soran's chest as if to push him away and turned to Mizuki fussing and holding out his hands to her. Mizuki frowned then realized it was possibly lunchtime for Blade and she hurriedly sat down next to Soran and scooped the baby out of Soran's arms. "S-sorry," she said embarrassed. Blade was snuggling his face into her bossom trying to find a place to latch onto and suckle.

Still embarassed, but knowing her duty as mother, Mizuki turned away from Soran and moved aside the top part of her robe so Blade could latch onto her and receive his lunch. She tried to keep herself moderantly covered in curtesy to Soran. She turned back around, satisfied.
