You were Taka's babysitter. He was only 2 years old. A very loud, 2 year old. But he was cute, so that made up for it in your mind.
. His mother, Shizuoka Kamitani, was a science teacher at Morinomiya Academy. And often stayed behind for long hours until late in the night so that she could do her work in silence.
. And his older brother, Hayato, that you were classmates with, had baseball practice or games that also happened late at night.
. Their father didn't live with them, so they had you as Taka's babysitter.
. Currently, you were laying on the couch with the little boy, still in your school uniform, under a think blanket. It was the middle of winter, after all.
. Taka was often loud, and very energetic. But he was tired, and a bit under the weather. So he was clingy. Very clingy.
. He laid on your stomach, his head on your chest. He was gripping your shirt tightly in his little, chubby hands.
. You were holding him with one arm, and running your fingers through his hair with your free hand.
. Taka had already eaten, and bathed, so he was just able ready for sleep.
. You two were laying there, watching his favorite movie as you lulled him to sleep.
. Then the door opened and Hayato walked in, in his baseball uniform. Holding his bag. He saw you two, but didn't say anything. You simply glanced at him, and gave him a nod of acknowledgement.
