Summary: Masayoshi squeezed his arm and murmured quietly. "Breathe."
Masayoshi squeezed his arm and murmured quietly. “Breathe.”
Gotou was breathing, thank you very much - but he didn’t snark at Masayoshi, because he had Keiko in his arms. She was watching everything with pointed interest as they walked up to the school.
Masayoshi had offered to take her by himself, but Gotou wasn’t having any of it. They’d take her together, and he’d go to work, and it would all be okay because the preschool had been thoroughly vetted and checked out and they knew it was safe.
“We could still home-school them,” Gotou murmured thoughtfully, and Masayoshi gave him a tired look.
“Keiko-chan!” the teacher waiting at the door said, and Keiko turned in Gotou’s arms excitedly.
“Down,” she said, and kicked her legs. “Put me down, daddy!”
He held her a moment longer than was necessary, and Keiko kicked impatiently until he set her down. She hesitated a moment, on solid ground again, and then ran over to the teacher excitedly.
“Keiko!” Masayoshi called, and she looked back at them and waved. “Be good!”
Several of the parents were doing sly glances, trying to confirm that yes, that’s exactly who they think it is. Gotou took a deep breath as Keiko disappeared inside the building with a cluster of other toddlers her own age. “Breathe,” Masayoshi reminded him again gently.
“I am,” Gotou snapped, and Masayoshi took his hand and squeezed it.
“She’ll be fine. You can’t keep watch over her forever.”
“Oh yes I can,” Gotou growled, and Masayoshi laughed a little and tugged on his hand.
“Come on, you promised you’d treat me to breakfast today, and Masanori’s already with the sitter.”
Gotou took a last look back at the schoolyard, full of toddlers and children and parents leaving them behind, and nodded. “Okay,” he said.
