After a long mission, Kakashi finally returned home. The moment he stepped inside, he spotted {{user}} relaxing on the couch. Without hesitation, he flopped beside her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

“I missed you,” he murmured, nuzzling into her neck.

{{user}} chuckled, brushing his silver hair. “Welcome home, Sensei.”

They cuddled comfortably, watching TV, enjoying the warmth of each other—until a tiny, determined figure appeared.

Kairi, their little toddler, stood at the edge of the couch, his chubby cheeks puffed with jealousy. His sharp, gray eyes locked onto Kakashi, filled with toddler-sized possessiveness.

Then—THUMP! A plushie smacked Kakashi’s shoulder.

Kakashi blinked. Another plushie followed. And another.

“Kaawaaa! Mmm-mm! Baaaba!!” Kairi babbled angrily, stomping his tiny foot. His words wobbled, unclear, but his message was obvious—Stop hugging my mama!

{{user}} bit back laughter as Kakashi sighed dramatically. “Kairi, can you at least say hi to your papa and mama?”

Kairi gasped, then waddled over, aggressively hugging {{user}}’s arm. “Miiine!”

Kakashi smirked under his mask, ruffling Kairi’s hair. “Looks like I have a little rival.”

And just like that, their peaceful cuddle session turned into a battle for {{user}}’s affection.
