Chapter Text
"Oh, what a cute girl, look Kai, how beautiful she is! Are you meeting your mom?" A woman with a son, who is obviously about to start school, is admiring a little girl in a dress next to a tall, lanky guy, who, judging by his facial features, is her brother.
The girl sits on the edge of the seat, dangling her feet. Despite the early hours, the flight schedule is very tight, and because of that the airport is noisy and crowded.
"No, my daddy's going to give me to my other daddy,” the little girl laughs amusingly, “He drives airplanes and he promised to buy me the real Lego.”
"Yuki, did you ask Chifuyu to buy Lego?" Hanma shakes his head. Their daughter will soon need a separate room for Lego. Matsuno has already complained that Yuki won't let him give old sets to the other kids.
"Dad, it's from Denmark! The real one, Daddy!” his daughter grumbles at Shuji for being so incomprehensible. "Daddy Yusei, tell him!”
The woman looks around and marvels at how different the girl's second father looks from her. But wasn't his name different? And this one isn't wearing a pilot's uniform?
Sato comes over with two cups of coffee and milk for Yuki. She insisted on picking Chifuyu up at the airport and now their peculiar family is waiting for Matsuno to return from a flight. He'd gotten his degree a year ago and this was the first time he'd been entrusted with such a long flight, so Yuki was quite worried about him.
"Daddy!” Yuki yells and runs across the room, nearly hitting a couple who are rolling suitcases and carrying a Pomeranian, a few children, and a woman carrying a large bag. And yes, a hurricane named Yuki can only be stopped by her parents and Grandma Keiko.
"Yuki!" Chifuyu picks her up in his arms.
"D’you got Lego?" asks his daughter strictly.
"So you only waited for me because of Lego?”
"No! I waited because I love you, Daddy,” Yuki hides her face in Chifuyu's hair and admits without any traces of shame, “And a little because of Lego.”
Ryusei kisses Chifuyu, and Yuki covers her eyes with her hands in embarrassment, peeking just a little and giggling.
"How's it going in Europe?" Hanma is waiting for them on a bench. He had graduated a few months ago, and though he was glad to be back in Japan and see his parents, daughter, and friends, he was still eager to get started on the project he had been offered in Italy. It was going to start in a month, but Shuji was already busy collecting references and searching for locations on the Internet.
"Well, I don't know about Italy, but it's cold in Denmark,” Chifuyu wants to put his daughter on his shoulders, but she's already got enough cuddles with her daddy, stuffed Lego into her backpack and now she's asking Hanma to do that. He's the tallest, which means she'll be taller than everyone else at the airport. It takes Yuki's breath away that she, a pipsqueak herself, can see everything that's going on around her. Shuji's genes are only clear in her face so far, but judging by her long legs, she'll get the height after him as well. She got her eye color and wheat hair braided into two pigtails from Chifuyu though. She chats nonstop as they all walk together to the car. Shuji glances over at Chifuyu and Ryusei's intertwined fingers, holding Yuki's legs and listening to Matsuno enthusiastically share his piloting experiences.
In four years of training, he never started dating anyone, though the sultry Italian omegas kept him busy. He just wasn't attracted to anyone, the way he'd been attracted to Chifuyu from the very first time they met. His parents cringed as if they hoped he'd come back on vacation married with a child.
"Isn't Yuki enough for you?" Hanma wondered.
"Well, Chifuyu rarely brings her to us..." His mom complained, to which Hanma only hummed.
So seeing how happy Chifuyu was with Ryusei made him a little sad at times. Not much, so he didn't even admit it to himself.
"When's your next flight?" He asks Matsuno, and feet Yuki squirm on his shoulders, obviously wanting to know the answer too.
"In three days,” they're next to Sato's car, and Yuki willingly slides into Chifuyu's arms to sit in it. For the first year she didn't seem to touch the floor at all, except for the futon - they'd decided not to buy a crib for safety reasons after the baby of one of Hanma's mother's acquaintances had somehow fallen out of it. Yuki was passed from hand to hand like a particularly valuable and fragile prize. Chifuyu often joked that no gym was needed with her. He'd gained weight during pregnancy and hadn't lost it as quickly as he'd liked, but he was still almost back in shape two years after giving birth.
Hanma saw how Sato drooled at Chifuyu's rounded thighs and never missed an opportunity to caress them. He thought he'd like to do it himself, but then he remind himself that he'd fucked up his own chance.
"Daddy, are you gonna come tomorrow?" Yuki tugs on his sleeve.
"I thought you wanted to spend more time with Chifuyu, Yuki.”
"I want to spend time with you too! With you and Chifuyu, Daddy!”
Hanma and Matsuno look at each other awkwardly.
Since Yuki was born, they haven't been together around her that much. Hanma left to study when she was under a year old, and although he was back home for vacations, he's spent more time with his daughter since graduating in Italy than he had in the previous four years. Chifuyu, on the other hand, tried, even though he was in flight school, to give Yuki all his free time, but after he graduated she saw Ryusei more often than she did him.
"What, Yuki, am I boring you?" Sato grins, catching her gaze in the rearview mirror.
"No!" Yuki exclaims indignantly, and if it weren't for the seatbelt, Chifuyu is sure she would have jumped up to give Ryusei a hug. She seems to have fallen in love with him while still tumbling around in amniotic fluid. While she can be cranky and show off in front of her fathers, when Ryusei asks her, Yuki immediately calms down. His daughter, however, whines:
"But I want to go out with my daddies to get a doll.”
"Yuki, you have tons of dolls. You just got your new Lego, and you're already thinking about another doll?" Chifuyu tries to be strict with his daughter, seeing how everyone around spoils her, especially Hanma's parents.
"Daddy!”
"Yuki-”
Chifuyu is hugging his daughter, Ryusei is driving, and Hanma is...
