Chapter 7: Memory

*flashback*

"Mummy! Mummy! " Cute 4 yr old Ichiro yelled as he ran through the halls of his home ,finally he heard someone talking and his eyes lit up in recognition , that was his mum's voice and she seemed to be talking to ..... He peeked into his room and his eyes lit up the more as he spotted his second parent

" Daddy!!" He exclaimed in excitement and ran to hug Karlheinze by his feet , the said man smiled and carried Ichiro into his arms then tickled him causing Ichiro to giggle

"Da-daddy,! Pfft hahaha stop" Karlheinze laughed with him

"Ne~why would i?" 

"Hahahaha" Ichiro's mother chuckled and joined in tickling Ichiro making him to burst into laughter the more .

"So, how's my young moondrop doing?" Karlheinze said as he ruffled Ichiro's hair , Ichiro pouted and grumbled

"Daddy!" He whined "don't call me that!" Karlheinze laughed

"Moondrop ~"

"Daddy!" 

"What~" Ichiro pouted the more and glared at his dad which honestly just made him cuter, Karlheinze ruffled his hair again 

" cute" 

"Daaaddddyyyy!!" Ichiro squealed in embrassment 

"Hehe ~"

"Alright, you've teased him enough" Ichiro's mother said in a serious/playful manner as she nudged Karlheinze softly, the said man smiled widely as he placed Ichiro on his bed 

"He's just so fun to tease ~" Karlheinze poked Ichiro's cheek causing the 4 year old to pout again, Karlheinze chuckled and ruffled his hair once more , Ichiro's mother simply sat beside Karlheinze and tucked Ichiro in . both parents looked at their son lovingly 

"Alright, its time to got to bed" Ichiro's mother said softly , Ichiro whined and said

"I don't wanna, and daddy just got back !" 

"Aww, Ichiro" Karlheinze coed and brushed Ichiro's bangs to the side 

" don't worry , I'll stay tomorrow" 

"For the whole day ?" 

"Yes" Karlheinze nodded 

"Promise?" 

"I promise Ichiro" Ichiro beamed at his words

"Okay!" He then turned to his mother 

"Mummy, could you sing for me? I'm not feeling very tired *yawns* " Ichiro's mother smiled softly

"Alright" she smiled softly and began to sing , her voice was , sweet and melodic like an angel's , both males quieted down and stared at her awestruck ,

(A/n: sorry to interrupt but this is the song she was singing, I watched wolf children a lot when I was younger and thought that this lullaby from the anime fitted perfectly)

Soon Ichiro began to fall asleep softly , his eyes blinked tiredly and he yawned cutely , and then , his little soft snores were heard , Ichiro's mother smiled and slowly finished the song , then she sighed in relief and chuckled

"Phew, I was afraid that he wouldn't sleep" 

"Why?" Karlheinz asked with a smile

"Because, a certain someone isn't always home" she then flicked karlheinze forehead and stood up. Karlheinz chuckled and stood up before tucking Ichiro in 

"Yes you're right, I'll try to stay the more from now on I promise" 

"Alright, but you better take your word for it-woah!" She exclaimed in surprise as Karlheinze carried her in bridal style, naturally she immediately put her arms around him for support.

"I will" Karlheinz said softly with a grin but ichiro's mother only gave him an unamused look , she knew he was up to something

"Karlheinze sakamaki-oof!"she was suddenly on their matrimonial bed , just when did they get there ? She glared at him but he only smiled slyly and buried his face onto the crook of her neck 

" I missed you darling~" Ichiro's mother huffed and rolled her eyes

"And who's fault is that? Duchbag!" Karlheinze bit into her neck softly but Ichiro's mother knew it as a warning, not that she cared though

"Careful darling~you don't want to anger me do you~" but Ichiro's mother only scoffed 

"Oh please, you know very well that I'll do that for as long as I want regardless of your threat" karlheinze chuckled , true she was never a submissive woman, and he disliked unsubmissive people but strangely enough it was one of the many things that attracted him to her , she was independent and no pushover and o how many times she rejected him before she eventually liked him too, Karlheinze smirked as he rembered how she almost killed him (literally) just because she thought that he was annoying. 

"What are you smirking for?" Ichiro's mother raised an eyebrow and tapped his nose , karlheinze blinked in surprise , she was also very unpredictable.but he responded anyways 

"Just rembering how we first met" he leaned in and Thier noses touched , ichiro's mother blushed but tried not to show it ,though Karlheinze noticed and couldn't help but smirk more

" Do you remember ~ the bet that we made, mmm~" this time she couldn't hold her blush in 

"Ye-yeah what about it?" 

"*Chuckle* I bet that I could make you fall for me" 

"So and why are you bringing that up?" Ichiro's mother blushed the more , karlheinze began to play with her hair

" no reason in particular, I'm just glad...that we ended up together" he then kissed her and she kissed him back.

"I'm glad as well" she said as they pulled away, she then smiled brightly

"Hehe~who knew you'd later be able to make me blush like this" she said in thought, unknown to her , her smile was making karlheinze's heart skip and beat faster , and he was blushing as well
