Baby Fever~

Somehow I was the first one to shine and rise on this rainy Sunday morning, I couldn't believe how my boyfriend wasted all his evening annoying those two fools that were still against our relationship. They even got Cupid onto their side, and my hubby even went as far as to let them stay in my room for the night to prove some kind of point.

And thanks to the insolent system it looked like I had no say on the matter since a mission popped up yesterday and it was a far better option on letting them remain in their spot than embarrass myself by letting out strange lewd noises after their departure.

It looked like Venus did have some constraints, but creating absurd misunderstandings wasn't one such thing.

Feeling the sunrays on my face, I soon sat up on the bed, in hopes I would have time to think to myself, but as soon my body moved, Tetta's eyes opened up and so he cuddled to my torso. At first, I was ready to melt at the abnormal gesture, even brushing my fingers thru his hair feeling quite at peace, but I couldn't shake this strange feeling, that this was also one of his many schemes to create even more chaos.

I barely got ten minutes of calmness, before he opened his eyelids once more while displaying this nasty smirk on his face.

"Let me know when those two wake up." I sighed at the request, but before I had the chance to respond, the blankets which my brother and Keisuke used went flying up in the air. I saw them coming closer while resting their chins on the end of my bed as they were glaring at their sworn enemy.

"So you can do what exactly?" They spoke in perfect synchronicity. Kisaki didn't even hesitate just went in for a kiss, but I abruptly stopped his advances.

"Listen if you three want to fight like a bunch of five-year-olds, so be it. However don't involve me in it, I don't wish to get yet another headache." I slipped from my boyfriend's grip, Cupid jumped into my arms, and we left the three guys to their own devices.

Expecting mom to be already preparing breakfast I decided it would be in my best interest to help her, rather than paying attention to the three kids in the house.

Downstairs I saw how mom was cutting up some vegetables and the rice was already cooking in the rice cooker. Dad was by the table, reading the morning newspaper.

"I'm here to help making breakfast," I announced to my parents, pulling my pj's sleeves up.

"What about your boyfriend dear?" I sighed while a random thought came to mind.

"He can date Keisuke for all I care." I just wasn't expecting those three to not start a fight and instead follow me here.

"Hey! I don't want him!" I heard Keisuke scream coming from the hallway, Kisaki being right behind him rolling his eyes at his loudness.

"I don't know, you two have been trying to get each other's attention since yesterday, maybe there is indeed some chemistry between you two?" They were both too stunned to fire their shots back. I pulled out a knife and started the breakfast preparations until Kisaki finally voiced his opinion.

"I disagree with your hypothesis," I smirked and had the best response already prepared.

"I don't know, maybe the tall guy influenced you and you're starting to reconsider his idea, however instead of inviting the giraffe, you are planning to implement another person. Which is Keisuke because you're so fond of him." I sent them both a wink and since Keisuke had no idea what I was talking about, he made some disgusted sounds.

And then a mission descended from heaven.

'Would you rather chase Tetta Kisaki or Keisuke Baji away from your premises as fast as you can?' I looked at my boyfriend and then back at Keisuke, it was safe to say it would be easier to hurry my hubby rather than my big brother's guest since he tended to be stubborn in such scenarios, but I decided to take my time since I didn't want my date to worry.

After breakfast, I was hanging together with Kisaki inside my room no longer allowing the other two to mess around in my presence. I also needed some alone time with my hubby. We were both laying on the bed while holding hands, facing each other.

"So why did you keep acting up like this, yesterday?" I questioned his intentions.

"It was fun." I scratched my head, but couldn't stop myself from bringing up the previous subject.

"You like teasing my brother and Keisuke? Is there perhaps something you want to share with me on that note?" I wiggled my eyebrows but he sternly answered.

"I'm not gay." And then he proceeded to glare in my direction.

"Tetta, dear there is something bi as in bisexual or bi-romantic. Gay would mean that you're dating me simply because of the pressure from society." We both had this serious expression on our faces until I finally busted out laughing.

"Is it so enjoyable for you to be making fun of me?" He asked as I nodded my head without hesitation.

"I mean, I'm only getting back at you for yesterday." We kept on the conversation ongoing, aside from a few interruptions from Cupid.

He finally left at 11 o'clock, but with a lingering promise that he would take me on another date tomorrow. I glanced at the mission's progress, but a new notification window soon informed me that I failed.

"I guess it can't be helped, it's not like I would have thrown him out on the street in only his pj's and without food." I headed back to my room, and closed the door, making sure that nothing like a naked clone would be spotted by the guest or my brother for that matter.

"Spin the wheel." I read the instructions out loud and gave it an appropriate turn.

"Toddler." Before pressing the proceed button I picked out the smaller shirt I could find, in hopes it would fit my toddler self without rolling off the shoulders.

When the deed was done all my previously worn clothes fell to the floor, I quickly reached for the shirt that looked more like a dress on this small body. I then tried to open the door but found it impossible to reach, so I did what any small kid would do, scream for backup.

"BIG BROTHER!!!" Suddenly he stormed into the room while asking.

"What's wrong with your voice?" But then his jaw fell to the floor when he witnessed my current state.

"You wanted to see one of the system's punishments, so here is your answer." I don't why but his whole face seemed delighted. In no time I was scooped up from the place I was standing at and big brother marched into his own room.

"Keisuke look, Michi turned into a kid!"

"Yes! I'm the cutest." I declared while showing a big smile and a peace sign.

"What happened? Why are you like this?" Keisuke seemed to be taken aback by my transformation.

"Punishment for the next 12 hours and I will be back to normal," I explained and asked Kazutora to take me to our parents next. I never expected them to cry.

"This is the happiest day of our life." they both proclaimed, I knew mom would have loved me in such a state, but dad too?

"Let's go and buy her some clothes." Mom was ready to go on a shopping spree. So it went something like this, considering we had no appropriate clothing to go out in this form I was wrapped around in some blankets like you would with a baby.

"Don't worry Michi as soon we get you some clothes you can parade in those instead, and you can keep them for the next time." Sounded reasonable, it also reminded me how probably next time I should go out to buy a bra for the back pain punishment as well because I had this strange intuition telling me it would happen again.

So the whole family was packed inside the car, Keisuke joining on our adventure and since we didn't own a child seat anymore, I got to sit on my brother's lap. Talk about breaking some laws.

"Are you comfortable Michi?" Mom asked after a few minutes into the ride.

"Yes, I'm a nice warm burrito... fighting the forces of nature."

"Dear... I think I have a baby fever." Mom admitted to dad, I couldn't do anything but laugh at this intriguing interaction.

So at first most of the strangers looked at us with questionable looks, probably thinking the worst of my parents because of my questionable outfit.

Mom changed me into like ten different outfits before we finally settled for something we both liked, suddenly flocks of people were coming towards us, commenting on my cuteness.

"I never thought my looks would bring such a crowd," I mentioned to both of the boys that were tagging along on this adventure.

"Hey, Michi... do you want me to throw you up in the air?" Kazutora asked, and let's say he looked more excited than me.

"Sure, even if you drop me I believe with my endurance I will just get by with some scratches." He looked offended.

"I would never." And so I was tossed up into the air multiple times, it looked like this guy loved his new older brother role, but we had to stop our fooling around because some passersby were mentioning how dangerous it was.

"Old hags do know how to ruin the fun," I muttered while Keisuke pointed out.

"But weren't you the one against it at first?" Kazutora just smiled and ruffed thru my hair.

"How about a family dinner, adopted son included," Dad suggested, Keisuke failing to realize he was the adopted son he mentioned.

"Let's go! Food! Food! Food!" I chanted and even made some silly poses to make it look like I was summoning rain with a dancing ritual.

"Wait, wait... I'm light, carry me!" I outstretched my hands and was quickly scooped up by dad, that put me on his shoulders.

"My loyal subordinates, I hereby declare we will eat western-style cuisine for the day, no one can get in between my pasta and garlic bread." No one dared to complain about my food choices in this state, perhaps they were afraid I would throw a tantrum making them look bad.

So when we found a suitable place, I had to sit on someone's lap for easy table access and I was praised for being able to make my own order.

"You seem to be enjoying this," Keisuke spoke up as I nodded.

"That's a lot of positive encouragement, why wouldn't I?" I had to enjoy it while I still could. When the food arrived mom at times was aiding me with eating my meal.

"Is it hard to not be messy?" Kazutora asked all confused.

"What are you even expecting bro from a five-year-old?... The sauce is moist." My word choice must have perplexed him, did his thought got launched to outer space?

At some point when I was being fed, I started to discuss Witcher, it must have been quite terrifying for the other guests at this establishment to hear a kid this young describe an endless amount of monsters to the two teenagers at the table.

When we finished I spotted a woman that looked especially terrified, so I leaned in and whispered to her.

"Don't have too many nightmares tonight." And I didn't believe it helped.

At some point my parents asked if I wanted to go play at the child's playground, I agreed quickly realizing they had some other motives, being right these two didn't spare any seconds to whip out their phones and cameras to snap some pictures.

"Brother, help me with the swing." I decided to aid them, so our parents had the time of their life recording such fond memories on their devices.

At some point I also spent time with Keisuke alone, which couldn't stop pinching my cheeks for some reason, was he perhaps impersonating an older aunty?

"Yes, I wouldn't mind if our children were as cute."

"Hey buddy I think you're too far off into the future, my advice is to live in here and now." I think the baby fever turned to be contagious, no one was safe.
