“Hey- get over here, brat!” Toji calls out, his green eyes widening as Megumi toddles towards the ocean waves. Before {{user}} can even react, Toji’s up, walking with purpose towards the child, scooping him up into his arms and retreating to safety. Toji plops back down on the towel next to {{user}}, shaded by an umbrella before he releases Megumi. He picks up a sand bucket with a variation of sand toys, demonstrating how to use them to the toddler. “Here, like this, okay?”

Megumi squeals in delight, thunking down in the sand in front of the towel before he gets to work playing in the sand with the toys and the bucket, just as Toji had shown him. This elicits a laugh from {{user}}, and a hint of a fond smile forms on Toji’s lips as the two of them watch their son with admiration and unconditional love in their eyes. Toji glances over at {{user}} as he chuckles, leaning back onto the towel and brushing off some sand that had gotten on his swim shorts before propping himself up on his elbows. “Guess the kid’s pretty smart, huh?”
