Drrr!! (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

[Jikkah]

The lock on the door clicked and opened, Makise and Koishi stepping inside. "Otou-sama!" Koishi ran over to Shizuo and jumped into his lap.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Shizuo grunted and quickly snuffed his cigarette, "Hey, kiddo."

 

[Jikkah]

Koishi had dropped her umbrella at the doorway, which Makise closed and put away. "Otou-sama, how come you always have those things?" She asked, her cheeks red from the sun.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"You didn't wear sun block today, did you, kid?" Shizuo said, gently cupping Koishi's cheek as he dodged the question

 

[Jikkah]

((Dodge!))

Koishi puffed up her cheeks. "I hate how it smells.." She muttered.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"We'll get you the odorless one then...but you gotta start wearing it..." He told her

(( >3 ))

 

[Jikkah]

"I dun' wanna." "I can't get her to do it." Makise called from the kitchen. "She's as stubborn as you."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Kid, do you remember how miserable you were the last time you didn't wear sun block? You had 1st degree burns all over your body and you couldn't move without hurting...do you want that again?" Shizuo asked

 

[Jikkah]

"Well... No... But I have the umbrella you got me...! I promise I'll be careful..!" She pulled out the Bambi eyes, sticking out her lower lip.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Sun block." Shizuo said sternyly, placing his hand on her head, "Or you stay inside like a hermit crab."

 

[Jikkah]

Koishi pouted. "But Otou-sama..!" She whined, clasping her hands in a pleading manner.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I mean it, kiddo." Shizuo stated

 

[Jikkah]

Koishi grumbled and puffed out her cheeks. "Fine.."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Thank you." Shizuo said. He inched closer, "I'll get you ice cream later. Sshh." He whispered

 

[Jikkah]

Koishi's eyes lit up and she grinned happily. "Arigatou!" She said and threw her arms around Shizuo's neck in a tight hug.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Don't tell your mom, ok?" He said softly as he hugged her back, "Now, start wearing sun block."

 

[Jikkah]

"I will." Koishi whispered back, smiling happily and giggling at their secret dairy adventure they'd share later tonight.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Shizuo smiled ever faintly and kissed her head, "Go play in your room, kid."

 

[Jikkah]

"Hai..!" Koishi jumped off his lap and hurried to her room; Makise stepped out of the kitchen. "I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning, around five." She said with a sad smile. "I wish I didn't have to."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Work is work..." Shizuo stood and moved over, "We'll miss you...especially the kid...she's gonna try and call you every day...just you watch..."

 

[Jikkah]

Makise leaned her forehead against Shizuo's chest tiredly. "I know, I just don't want to be gone often, I want her to be raised by two parents.."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"You can tell Izaya that you need a break, you know. Mika will force him to agree." He informed her, as if it were an obvious fact

 

[Jikkah]

"I know, I know.." She rubbed her neck absentmindedly. "But... I dunno..." She sighed and shook her head, looking worn out.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Tell him you need a break." He said, "Or I will."

 

[Jikkah]

Makise ran her fingers through her hair. "Okay, okay. I'll tell him I need a break." She said.
