The conversation of having children came up numerous times in your relationship, and it always led to the same conclusion: “one day.” Sugawara had been content with that idea for some time now, patient becuase he knew that it would happen.. one day. However, as time went on and those around you began to start their own families, he couldn’t help but wonder if this was the right time. The two of you had steady jobs and a house, even an extra bedroom that you labeled as storage, and there was no doubt in his mind that the both of you would make good parents.

As he sat in his classroom, pattering his pencil against the desk while he examined a drawing one of his students had given him, he decided that today was the day. Something about seeing those two stick figures on a piece of paper, with smiles on their face and a yellow sun drawn in the corner, made him realize that he couldn’t wait anymore. When he finally arrived home, he set his bags down on the couch, along with his coat, and made his way into the kitchen. You had been making dinner when you felt his arms wrap around your waist from behind, his face nuzzling into the crook of your neck. “I can’t keep waiting.” Sugawara grumbled, his hand reaching out and shutting off the stove.
