In a world of abilities and Mafia, it's easy for Chuuya to forget that sometimes, he has to let himself be cared for.
But, it's...weird. Odd for him. It's never really been something that's happened on the daily, well, not until he and Dazai found out about him being pregnant with their first child, soon to be a baby boy.
Kouyou and Yosano had instantly taken them out for shopping when they heard the news a few days later, and the couple had come home with enough to provide the baby for the next few years at least. It certainly was a lot, and actually setting up all of that stuff took some time too but, it was worth it in the end.
They had painted their baby's new room about three weeks after too, Atsushi and Akutagawa helping them out as well.
It had been painted a light sky blue on one side to represent Dazai and a pastel red to represent Chuuya. It actually looked nice even though Chuuya had sworn those colors would mix ugly together, but it was starting to grow on him.
They had also stenciled hats on the red wall and fish on the blue wall, Kyouka thought that would be a nice touch and once it was completely finished, Chuuya started bawling, completely overrun with joy, plus hormones.
By now, four months into his pregnancy, Chuuya could say with confidence that he was actually ready to have this, to have some happiness in his life that lasted longer than a few days or weeks, have something that wouldn't be temporary. He was still learning. and even though he and Dazai had been together for a few years now, sometimes he was still scared that one day he would wake up and find his Alpha gone, leaving him because he became bored or had just been messing with Chuuya all this time.
But, as stated before, he was learning, and pretty quickly.
As of now, Chuuya was busy making crab cakes. Dazai was lounging in the living room connected to their kitchen in their penthouse looking through some Agency paperwork and had been quiet for some time, but Chuuya could feel his stare on him every once in a while.
Finally, after about five more minutes of unrelenting looks, Chuuya sighed and turned off the stove before looking over at his mate.
"What is it, Dazai?" He asked, eyes half-lidded. "You've been staring. What's up?"
Dazai just hummed and laid his chin on top of the couch, smiling softly. "Maybe I just like looking at my gorgeous Omega?" He responded. "Maybe you're just too beautiful."
"Or maybe-" Chuuya stalked over to him until their faces were inches apart.
"You're just full of shit. What's wrong."
Dazai whined and pouted.
"Chuuuuuyaaaaa~" He moaned. "Fiiiiiiine. Come sit with me."
Chuuya blinked in surprise before he sighed again and nodded, shuffling over awkwardly on his feet before placing himself next to his Alpha on their soft couch, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Well?" He began. "Spill. What is it?"
Dazai just gazed at him for a few more seconds before moving from the couch and sitting on his knees on the floor in front of Chuuya, hands held in his.
Chuuya's lips parted and his brows furrowed.
"Dazai?" He whispered. His Alpha had this look in his eyes, Chuuya couldn't put his finger on it. "What's....what's wrong?"
Dazai shook his head and leaned forward until he could kiss his Omega's baby bump, earning a surprised gasp and rosy cheeks.
"It's not what is wrong," He sighed and smiled. "It's what is right."
Chuuya watched as his Alpha laid his cheek on his enlarged stomach and wrapped his arms around his waist, pulling his Omega closer so they could cuddle in a somewhat awkward position.
The redhead hesitated before reaching over and settling one freckled hand on his mate's lock of fluffy dark brown hair and slowly carded his fingers through it.
"What's gotten into you?" Chuuya whispered lovingly. "Suddenly so cuddly..."
"Mmm," Dazai hummed, smiling. "Just excited for the ba-by~" He cooed and looked up at his Omega, grin widening. "Isn't Chuuya excited too?"
Chuuya huffed a bit and smiled back, couldn't help it.
"Of course I am, shitty-mackerel," He replied with no heat. "But, you've been...clingy lately. More so than usual. Why?"
"Mm, well," Dazai sighed, looking back at his baby bump and cooing softly. "My Alpha instincts have been screaming at me to take care of you lately and I can't ignore them when Chuuya looks so cute, making me crab cakes like that~! Like a little housewife!"
Chuuya's eye twitched and his grip tightened on Dazai's hair, making him shriek.
"Call me a housewife again and your crab cakes are going in the trash."
"NO!"
"S'What I thought."
They stayed like that for a while, Dazai cooing and muttering nonsense against his stomach and Chuuya petting his hair.
It wasn't until Dazai started talking more that Chuuya started sniffling.
"I'm gonna be the best daddy," He whispered, still staring at his baby bump and gently rubbing it. "Don't you worry, baby. Daddy's never gonna leave. He'll always be there for you. I can't wait to watch you grow up and become the best person you can be. Me and mommy will always be here for you and provide for you."
Chuuya's bottom lip trembled at that and his eyes watered. "Osamu..." He breathed, Dazai to entranced by his stomach to hear him.
"Alpha will always provide for you and mommy. Always."
Chuuya burst into tears.
Dazai yelped and immediately whirled up to check on him.
"Chuuya?!" He squawked, reaching for him. "Chibi, what's wrong? Did I say something bad? Does your stomach hurt? Are you hungry? Cause we can eat right now! What-"
Chuuya interrupted him by shaking his head and choking on sobs, rubbing at his eyes.
"N-no, no-" He stuttered, gasping for air. "That's-that's not why-"
"Then what-?"
Chuuya sniffled and giggled, but it was wet and rough as he wiped his cheeks. He then reached up and cupped one of his Alpha's cheeks, the other gripping his wrist and leaning in softly.
"I'm just-" He exhaled. "I'm happy. So happy."
Dazai stared at him for a few more moments, seemingly in awe before he smiled back at him again and leaned up to press a kiss to his forehead.
"Ah, I get it," He replied slowly. "Hormones?"
Chuuya chuckled again and nodded.
"Yeah."
Dazai nodded in return and stood up, still holding his hands. "Alright then," He began. "Let's eat something and I'll treat you tonight. How does that sound?"
Chuuya blinked in shock before his grin widened.
"That sounds wonderful."
