Enji shuffled closer, sleepily nuzzling further into his mate's neck, inhaling his soft petrichor scent. He smiles at the hint of nectarines that come through more and more clearly as his mate grew their child.
Brushing his hand lightly over the slight bump of their child, smiling as his mate grumbled and rolled forward to escape the tickling sensation.
He remembered Rei’s pregnancies, nothing could compare to what he felt now as he held his mate in his arms. Encompassing Keigo’s smaller frame with his bulk. He was getting better, and he knew he’d fucked up with his previous children, but he couldn’t imagine ever having the same relationship with this new child that he’d had with the previous four.
He felt the guilt of how he’d been with them crawling up his throat, beginning to choke at him, only to be interrupted as Keigo flailed his hand in irritation at the tickling sensation. “Stop, I’m trying to sleep.” Causing his partner to laugh and instead run his nails lightly over his abdomen, scratching away the itch left after the tickling.
“Mmmm…No.” Enji says, digging into the junction of his partner’s neck and shoulder, causing Keigo to laugh in surprise at the scratch of it against the sensitive scarring of his mating bite.
“Seriously, stop, I’ve been up and down all night as your kid plays soccer with my bladder.” He says laughingly.
“Oh, so they're only my kid when they’re doing something that you don’t like.” Shifting over as his mate began wiggling to turn and face him.
“Yup!” Keigo smiled, leaning forward to kiss lightly at Enji’s chin before scraping his own scruff into his mate's mating bite, causing the older man to pull back in surprised laughter at the itch it caused against the scar. “Turnabout’s fair play, Enji.”
