Eternally (Nami and Alyxandyr - NC17)

[Nami Amakura]

3:09 A.M.

That's what time the clock said when Nami Amakura-Demitrios woke up oddly from his sleep. Emerald eyes half-open in sleep, he sat up slowly as to not wake up the sleeping man next to him. Three months and three weeks ago, Alyxandyr Demitrios sat down next to him at a bus stop by his apartment on Earth. Let's just say the pair got friendly rather quick, due to mostly Alyxandyr's efforts from the fact he just found his soul mate. Then it came to light Nami was pregnant, which stunned the sixteen year old at first but he came to fall in love with the idea of being a parent and also in love with Alyxandyr. Many things happened after that; the two of them finding Alyxandyr's brother Lysander who also had a soul mate, Shinta. Let's just say Shinta wasn't the happiest person to hear that he was impregnated by a man from another planet. They both reside here on Zerca now, Shinta giving Lysander hell before he caved in and agreed to move here. Over the three months, Nami had started to show he was pregnant and then came the normal pregnancy issues. Morning Sickness, crazy food needs, the random crying, more mood swings, all to which Alyxandyr acted very kindly and helped him ever step of the way. Then, one day Nami's water broke and contractions started. It would be hours later that little cub Hiroki Demitrios was brought into the world. Nami could still remember Alyxandyr crying at the birth, which made him cry in turn. Alyxandyr had only mentioned little Hiroki would stay in kitten form for the first few weeks of life, which made breast feeding a bit tricky but Nami got the hang of it. When Hiroki had his first transformation into his human form, Nami could only laugh and hold his child close. Hiroki had one green eye and one blue eye. He also had slightly curly platinum blond hair that barely looked like hair because of the brightness.

Nami yawned gently to himself, stretching his arms above his head as he looked down at the sleeping Alyxandyr. The man was facing him, long white hair sprawled out around him. Nami's eyes gazed down towards the man's left hand that was placed on his hip, taking in the glimmer of gold that was present on Alyxandyr's finger. Nami smirked, remembering the day he gave that to Alyxandyr as a sort of 'marking' as the bite marks on his neck. At first, Alyxandyr was a bit skeptical but in time caved in as well. Nami only had to punch one person to date who tried to take Alyxandyr from him. At the current moment though, Nami looked over at the baby monitor that was sitting on the nightstand by his side of the bed. He could hear Hiroki making little noises, which worried him a bit. Very slowly, Nami placed a kiss on Alyxandyr's cheek and crept out of the bed. Wearing only short-shorts that barely covered his backside by half letting half of each cheek show and a tank top, Nami crept out of the room and headed over to Hiroki's room. He opened the door quietly, gazing into the white room of the nursery. The walls were painted white, with trees and flowers and all sorts of things that would entertain Hiroki. As if Nami was woken up for a purpose, little Hiroki in human form now started the beginning sniffs to cry. Not wanting Alyxandyr to wake up, Nami silently walked over to the white crib and looked in. Little Hiroki was wide awake for some reason, green and blue eyes stareing up at him with arms held up thrashing about slowly. His little legs were kicking gently in his blue pajamas, which made Nami smile as he bent into the crib to pick the toddler up. " Shh..shh..Don't wanna wake up daddy little Hiro-kun..." Nami said, picking the baby up to his chest as little arms wrapped around his neck. He held Hiroki by his backside and supported his head as he headed over to the rocking chair by the window. He begged Alyxandyr when they first started the nursery for a rocking chair, which the man happily agreed. Nami always loved rocking chairs and had it set by a window.

Nami sat down gently in the chair, shifting Hiroki so that he was rocking him in his arms. Something was missing and Nami soon realized that Hiroki was without his pacifier. Nami rolled his eyes sleeply at the mistake, and looked around the room. He looked down at the foot of the rocking chair to see the pacifier on the floor where Hiroki had dropped it last. " Aha...no wonder your awake.." Nami said, retrieving the object from the floor and dusting it off on his shirt. Hiroki let out a small cry in the absence of the pacifier, which Nami gently rocked away before it turned into a screech. The lungs this baby had was astounding. Nami slowly slipped the pacifier into Hiroki's mouth, who sucked and chewed away at the as Nami rocked the baby and himself in the chair. Nami epped gently as Hiroki grabbed a fistful of strands of hair that had fallen past his shoulder and gave them a hard pull. " Ow ow ow ow ow ow....you've got your daddy's strength all right...ow ow ow ow..." Nami said, gently pulling the hair out from his baby's hand and replaced them with his finger instead. " Oh my little baby....what should I sing for you tonight...you need to go back to sleep so mommy can get some rest..." Nami said, continuing to rock back and forth rocking his baby from side to side gently.

[Alyxandyr Demitrios]

Alyxandyr had been stretched out on the bed peacefully in his typical deep but easily disturbed sleep. As expected, though, the white-haired Zercan had woken as soon as his subconscious had registered the fact that something on the bed was moving more than usual and his hand on the other's hip was being displaced. By the time his eyes had halfway opened, Nami had already made it to the door. Figuring it was nothing to be alarmed about, he closed his eyes again. After a few minutes of listening to the noises of the baby monitor, he heard his mates voice as the other came to the room. Didn't want to wake him up? You'd think after nearly four months of sleeping with him that Nami would've figured out Alyxandyr was about the lightest sleeper in the world. He gave a small smirk, sitting up with a small yawn and a stretch of his arms. After a second of rubbing at his eyes, the man slid out of bed and eventually out of the room itself.

A short stroll down the hallway brought Alyxandyr to Hiroki's room. He pushed the door open and peeked inside, not wanting to disturb the two if Hiroki was already asleep. Seeing as the other was still trying to put him back to sleep, it was safe to enter. The Zercan slipped inside and walked over to the two of them, standing to the side of the rocking chair after placing a small kiss on Nami's cheek. His gaze turned down to the baby, a smile forming on his lips. If someone had asked Alyxandyr a year or so ago about children, he would've never imagined that he'd ever have one and nor did he want one. But, now, he loved this small child--his child--dearly.

"Too late, daddy's already awake. You're not that good at slipping out of bed undetected. I figured you'd know that by now." The man teased, leaning over a bit to wrap an arm around Nami's shoulder. He moved his other hand to gently stroke the baby boy's cheek, giving him a smile. Hiroki was definitely the cutest baby he'd ever seen. Maybe his opinion was biased, but it didn't matter. He'd never seen any child as cute as this little boy and there never would be any to usurp that title from him. Alyxandyr leaned in to place a small kiss against the child's forehead before looking back to Nami, "I think you've got a contender for the title of 'Cutest in the Household'..."

(( Damn my inability to post under the right account! DX ))

[Nami Amakura]

[[ xD I love you Aiko! ]]

Nami's ears perked up gently as he heard footsteps behind him, turning his gaze from little Hiroki to look behind him. In walked Alyxandyr, a smile forming on Nami's face as the other came over next to him. He let out a small giggle as he was kissed on his cheek and followed Alyxandyr's gaze down to Hiroki. Their child. God it felt so wonderful to say he had a child of his own rather than adoption. Nami let out a sigh as his plan to leave Alyxandyr sleeping was proved false by the man, his eyes rolling gently as he continued to rock back and forth in the chair. He smiled as Hiroki let out muffled giggles and laughs as Alyxandyr bent over to kiss the child, wondering how he was ever going to get this child to sleep now.

" You being half-feline doesn't help either you now. You sense every little movement, sound, and I love you for it and being a really good complimenter. " Nami said softly, leaning in to give Alyxandyr a quick kiss to the man's lips before turning his attention back to Hiroki. " For some reason I just woke up and wondered in here. Good thing too or he would have set off another little yell fest. " Nami said, blinking through his rocking as he watched Hiroki's eyes start to close. Hiroki was either most of the time fully awake or fully asleep. He'd drift between the two and pick which one he wanted. Nami gently raised a hand to tell Alyxandyr to stay quite as he hummed a tune to lull Hiroki into a sleep. Once he could see it was working, he gently slowed down his rocking to a stop and raised softly to his feet. He glided across the floor, continuing to hum the tune to the child as he laid him back into his crib.

Nami watched Hiroki's eyes close fully now, the sucking motion on the pacifier keeping the child silent and in sleep. Nami pulled the blanket in the crib over Hiroki's body to keep him warm, softening his tune down to a stop when the child was asleep. Hiroki was such a good baby. He then crept away from the crib, motioning Alyxandyr to follow as he slowly headed for the door. Once he and Alyxandyr were both out of Hiroki's room, he closed the door gently and sighed. He looked up at the white-haired man now and smiled, " Let's get some sleep, ne? "

[Alyxandyr Demitrios]

Alyxandyr watched as their child slowly started to drift off to sleep, nodding as Nami silently motioned for him to stay quiet. However, the humming that followed wasn't just good at putting Hiroki to sleep, but the already drowsy father was finding it even harder to keep his eyes open. In the past few weeks, he'd found that he'd gotten little sleep. As soon as he returned to Zerca, he'd been bombarded with work he'd had to catch up on. When he would've rather spent time with his mate, he had various forms to fill out and places to go. Finally, he'd just left someone in charge of it all. It wasn't that smart, but he was tired of it. After that, he'd had to tend to Nami during the pregnancy. He'd enjoyed it, but it was tiring getting up at least three times a week during the middle of the night to do something for him. Then, after Hiroki had been born, there were nights were the little one just couldn't get to sleep and he'd be damned if either of them would get to sleep either. Not that he minded, but it often led to a slow morning filled with three or more cups of coffee.

The man crept out of the room when it was time, not having trouble with the staying quiet part. He doubted that Hiroki would either after the boy grew up. Even being only half Zercan was enough to give him the second leopard form and he'd probably end up just as graceful as his father. That was a troublesome thought. Having a toddler prowling about the house and sneaking treats from the fridge at night was going to be a pain. Even worse was the thought of the soon to come teenage years and sneaking out of the house at night. That was going to be a wonderous time, indeed.

"That sounds absolutely wonderful." Alyxandyr returned the smile with a drowsy one of his own, scooping the younger boy up into his arms quickly. It had been a while since Alyxandyr had carried the boy to bed. Most of the time, the gesture held a less-than-innocent intention behind it. But, sadly enough, the Zercan wasn't much interested in getting into the boy's pants at the moment. He was much too tired for that right now. Taking care of a baby was just too tiring to leave any energy for sex and that was ever so slowly killing him. It had been months now and gods had it been a tough time for the Zercan..

[Nami Amakura]

Nami's arms quickly found themselves a place around Alyxandyr's neck as he was lifted up, a smile on his face and he snuggled into the older man. " Ne Alyxandyr, do you have any meetings tomorrow...like around one-ish? I want to take Hiroki to the park.." Nami said softly, the lack of sleep taking it's effect now as he lay practically dead in the man's arms. He should have been used to this by now; waking up for random Night Sickness or random food cravings. Now they had Hiroki to tend to, which he loved more than anything. Though sometimes he just wanted to pass out on the couch and sleep.

Nami wanted to start showing Hiroki the world; every sight, every sound, every smell. He wanted Hiroki to grow up in a life full of wonderful things, most likely spoiling the child rotten. He wanted Alyxandyr there every step of the way as well, but the man was so busy with work Nami couldn't help but miss the man. Nami snuggled closer to Alyxandyr now, knowing Alyxandyr was deathly exhausted from work and lack of sleep. Lack of other things was probably killing the man as much as it was Nami; the lack of sex. Nami could remember that before they left Earth after their first meeting they probably had sex about six to ten times before the ship-ride to Zerca. Now it had dwindled down to barley anything, Nami had to do something about that. Maybe he could. For now, sleep was needing before any planning could go under way.

[Alyxandyr Demitrios]

"Now that you mention it, I'm supposed to meet with some smaller company's leader tomorrow at noon and that'll probably take a while.." The Zercan mumbled, taking a few steps down the hall and pushing the door open to their room. Once inside, he pushed the door closed again before making his way to the bed. Carefully, the man fall back into a sitting position on the bed, still holding Nami in his lap. He gave a small shrug of his shoulders, letting a small smile rest on his lips. "But, I can get someone to step in for me or cancel the meeting altogether. They shouldn't get theirselves worked up over the meeting getting canceled, if that's what it comes down to. They're just a little company and to request such a large company's assistance and time is a priviledge they can afford to wait for."

The man gave a small shrug of his shoulders. All this meeting was was a glroified plea for financial help. A sponsorship, basically. The other party was from a smaller company and usually, Alyxandyr would've immediately given them a nice rejection. But, since he'd found Nami, he'd been in a much more lighthearted mood more often. He'd decided to give them a chance. This was a major priviledge most smaller companies didn't get. They probably wouldn't be too upset if Alyxandyr cancelled last minute and rescheduled it. If they were, then they could get over it. His son and his mate were much more important.

"I wouldn't dream of missing Hiroki's first visit to the park." Alyxandyr stated, giving the boy a kiss on the forehead before he shifted to lay the other down on the bed, moving to his own side. The white-haired man crawled under the covers, laying on his side facing the younger boy, a drowsy smile on his face. He was determined to be there for all of the child's firsts. He was going to be a great parents, damn it, and he wasn't going to let his work get in the way of that.

[Nami Amakura]

Nami's glimmer of hope had died at the mention of a meeting, Nami hiding his disappointed face in Alyxandyr's chest nodding gently. He couldn't just pull Alyxandyr out of a meeting like that if it involved another company. As they entered their room, Nami let out a rather loud yawn, rubbing his eyes gently with his hand. Gosh he was so tired, atleast he could get in another four or so more hours of sleep before routine begged him to wake up. As Alyxandyr sat them down on the bed, Nami plopping gently in Alyxandyr's lap now, he felt the shrugging of Alyxandyr's shoulders and looked up to be greeted by a smile. Alyxandyr would post-pone the meeting?! Nami smiled gently, laughing a bit as he hugged the man tightly. Atleast Alyxandyr would be there for yet another first. There had been quite a few. First baths, First laughs, First cries, you name any types of first and Alyxandyr could give you a time and date.

" Heh...I'm glad you'll come. I know we both could use a nice day out in nature with Hiroki..." Nami said softly as Alyxandyr moved him down onto the bed. He slid gently under the covers, sliding close to Alyxandyr and entangled his legs with the other's, facing him. He smiled at the obvious sleepy smile, gently kissed that smile and Alyxandyr good-night and closed his eyes. " Good Night Alyx..." Nami said softly, before snuggling his head into the pillow and returning to the sleep he had been in before he woke up.

[[ You may post them waking up ;D ]]

[Alyxandyr Demitrios]

A few more hours passed between the shor tperiod of consciousness and the eventual stirring of the Zercan at current. Well, about four and a half, to be exact. In truth, Alyxandyr could've slept longer, but the hum of the cellphone on the nightstand next to him as it vibrated and the annoying ringtone demanded him to return to consciousness. He reached out and blindly groped for the phone, finally locating it and flipping it open. His eyes were still closed as he carefully untangled his legs fully from Nami's and sat up, hitting the answering button on the phone. He opened his eyes with a yawn, giving a small stretch.

"Hello?" He mumbled drowsily into the receiver, moving a hand to push the hair from his face. Gods, he hated his hair in the morning. It tangled too easily at night if he didn't tie it up. Speaking of which, he usually did such, but why he hadn't the previous night, he had no idea.

"Christ, Alyxandyr! Do you have any idea how late you are?!" The person on the phone didn't even bother with a greeting. Instead, the male's rather shrill voice sounded absolutely furious. That would be the vice-president. The white-haired Zercan gave a small laugh, pretending he didn't have any idea what the other was referring to.

"But it's only eight in the morning. Whatever are you talking about, Holden? I usually get there at ten, if I ever get there at all!" The man quiet mumbled back, looking over his shoulder briefly at Nami. He had a foolish grin on his face as the other let out a simply inhuman cry from the other end of the line.

"Stop acting stupid! You know damn well what I'm talking about!" The other, Holden, barked back, sounding like he would've murdered the other Zercan over the phone if it was at all possible. When he heard Alyxandyr laugh, he gave a loud, frustrated sigh. "Are you ever going to start taking this shit seriously? You're never at the office. If something comes up and you don't like it, you always send me away to do things for you. You were gone for months out of the blue for a while there and then when you get back, you just had me do all your work again that you needed to catch up on.. How they hell is this company still running if it's owner is such a horrible slacker?!"

"Mm, I guess that could be accredited to you and the others, then. But, there wouldn't be a company if I didn't hold the rights to it, now would there? Stop complaining." Alyxandyr sighed, the amusement gone in his voice as he rolled his eyes. "I know, I'm late. I'm not coming in today."

"What the hell are you thinking?! There's a meeting today!" Holden screamed, enraged again.

"I know that. I don't want to come in to work today, so I'm not. Nami wants to take Hiroki to the park today and he wants me to come with them. You wouldn't possibly make me miss my son's first visit to the park for a meeting that'll probably just end up in the same old answer anyway, will you?" The man slyly asked, knowing what the answer was already. Holden gave a sigh, already knowing he was defeated.

"No.. but.. God, you're irresponsible... Just because you have a kid now.." The man didn't finish his sentence but moved on, "What do you want me to do?"

"Either postpone it or run the meeting yourself. I don't care what you do. You're more business minded than I am, so you'd probably make better decision for the company than I could. It doesn't matter." The Zercan shrugged, studying the tops of the blankets idly as he awaited an answer that came back as a quiet, defeated sigh.

"Whatever. Alyxandyr, I really do hate you, you know. You better come to work tomorrow or I'm coming to your home and dragging you there, son or mate be damned, got it?"

"Whatever you say, Holden, even though that really was not your opinion of me--what?--three years ago? See you Monday!" Before the other could protest--it was only Wednesday, after all--Alyxandyr had flipped the phone shut again and laid it back on the nightstand. He'd probably just sent the other Zercan into a terrible rage with his last comments. The other hated to be reminded that the two of them had dated a few years ago. Alyxandyr, however, found it terribly amusing. He'd never really loved the other in any way, though seeing Holden totally infatuated with anyone was completely hilarious. The boy was naturally uptight and was one of those people that could be easily invisioned to live by themselves forever. Though, in the past year or so, the guy had found himself a mate. In fact, both had dropped by when they had thrown a baby shower for Nami.

[Nami Amakura]

The sound of a ringtone on the other side of the bed had also awoken Nami, the blond boy feeling the absence of Alyxandyr's legs as he figured the man rolled over to answer the phone. Nami grumbled gently, snuggling back into the warmth of the bed and pillow refusing to get up. He eventually was defeated by his routine, eyes half open as he slumped up onto a hand. Nami blinked as Alyxandyr looked over his shoulder towards, returning the grin with a smile as he crawled forward and pressed a kiss onto Alyxandyr's cheek before sliding out of bed. It was going to be another wonderful day on Zerca.

Nami gently headed out to the bathroom that was connected to their bedroom, stretching his arms above his head as he flipped on the light. He headed over to the sink, plucked the lime green toothbrush from the holder and turned on the faucet. Humming gently to himself, Nami opened up a drawer by a cabinet underneath the sink and plucked a tube of toothpaste from the open drawer. After applying toothpaste to the brush and dabbing ti underneath the water, Nami went on to brush his teeth. Nami walked back to the door, continueing to brush his teeth as he watched Alyxandyr finish up the call. " I'm getting you into trouble, aren't I? " Nami said through muffled tones, brushing the upper set of teeth before returning back to the sink. He spat out what was there, rinsed out the toothbrush and gave the two sets of teeth another scrubbing before spitting that out. He rinsed off the toothbrush a final time and slipped it back into it's holder before heading back into the bedroom.

Stretching his arms over his head once more, more of Nami's figure was shown under the short tank top as he headed back over to Alyxandyr. " Good morning by the way. " Nami said softly, a hand drifting to Alyxandyr's cheek as he bent over and kissed the man lightly. He then tapped the man on his nose before heading out of the room to check on Hiroki. He opened the door gently, peeking in to see the toddler still asleep. He knew he'd have to wake the other up in a few minutes to feed him, but for now he'd let him sleep. Nami then re-closed the door and headed out to the kitchen. He yawned gently to himself as he picked up two hair elastics from the kitchen table before he entered the kitchen. He tied up his hair in two pigtails for now, walking over to the stove. He took the tea kettle off and emptied the used water into the sink and started to refill it. He then headed over to the coffee maker, took the coffee chamber out and emptied it. Alyxandyr liked coffee in the morning where as Nami like tea. He re-filled the chamber with fresh coffee and water and slid it back into the maker. He flipped the switch that would start the coffee and walked back over to the sink. He took the kettle from the sink, placed it on the stove and turned the flame on.

The extra baby monitor in the kitchen sounded off a cry from Hiroki, which made Nami looked towards it before taking off to Hiroki's room. Nami opened the door, greeted by a softer morning cry as he headed over to the crib. Nami gently picked up Hiroki, patting him softly on his back as he rocked him gently up a down. " Shh there there.." Nami said gently, walking over to the changing table and laid Hiroki down on the table. Nami quickly changed the baby's diaper with a clean one. After disposing of the dirty one, Nami re-buttoned Hiroki's pajamas and lifted the baby into his arms. " So we cry when we need something huh? You're turning out to remind me of myself when I was younger every day. " Nami said to Hiroki, those blue and green eyes stareing up at him as the crying stopped. Nami carried Hiroki out to the kitchen and sat the baby in his high-chair, handing the baby his pacifier and plastic hammer that was randomly laying around on the table. Little legs kicking in his chair, Hiroki started banging away on the little table that was connected to the high chair as Nami went on to start breakfast.

[Alyxandyr Demitrios]

"Trouble? Not really. Holden's just being his usual tightassed self." Alyxandyr replied before Nami exited the room again. If that same question had been asked to said uptight Zercan, then he would've agreed in the most polite way possible. But, Alyxandyr didn't think that was right. Nami was one of the most important people in his life and without him or Hiroki, the white-haired Zercan would've been even harder to deal with. Since he'd found his mate, he'd become quite a bit more mature, which was odd seing as he was twenty seven already. But he had started going to work more often than he had in the past and now the reasons for why he didn't show up occasionally were quite btter. At least he was missing work for his family now instead of going to clubs to find a new fuckbuddy for the month.

The Zercan slid out of bed after the other reentered the room and said good morning, figuring he'd get dressed at least. There were a few hours to go before the three of them were going out to the park, so maybe a quick shower, some breakfast, and a bit of spoiling his son would keep him occupied for a while. He made a trip to the dresser and picked out a few items of clothing before heading off to the bathroom. He'd get to the shower in a bit, but he needed to really wake up first. Falling asleep int he shower wouldn't have been a good course of action.

He went through the normal routine of undressing and getting dressed again, dressed in a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. After running a comb through his hair, which took quite a while to get the tangles out seeing as he hadn't spent time to tie it up the night before, he tied it in place at the back of his neck. He'd learned quickly that babies were simply fascinated by long hair and the stupid sounds people made when it was given a nice tug. With a bit more preparation like brushing his teeth and the like. After finishing, he walked from the bathroom and to the kitchen, giving Hiroki an affectionate peck on the cheek before doing the same to Nami. He placed his arm around his mate's waist, a smile on his lips. "So, what's for breakfast?"

[Nami Amakura]

Nami was clued in that Alyxandyr had arrived in the kitchen when Hiroki let out a wild set of laughs and banging on the little table with his hammer. Nami giggled at the kiss to his cheek, snuggling back into Alyxandyr as he finished up Hiroki's bottle. " What would you like? Since you're not going to work I can make you anything. " Nami said, testing the bottle on his writs to make sure it was the right temperature for Hiroki. He turned his head gently and pecked Alyxandyr on his lips briefly before pulling away and walked over to Hiroki. Holding up Hiroki's head by placing a hand on the back of the baby's head, Nami plucked the pacifier from Hiroki's mouth and replaced it with the bottle.

" Ne, do you want to feed Hiroki while I make us breakfast? You name it, I'll make it. " Nami said, turning his head gently to glance at Alyxandyr before returning his attention to Hiroki. He took the bottle out briefly so the baby could breath, then slipped it back in so the child could keep eating. It was important to let the child breath during feeding so he did suffocate, so that's why you took the bottle away for a moment before letting Hiroki go back to eating.

Nami's ears picked up as heard the kettle of the stove steam up, the whistling of steam shooting out of the kettle. " Oh, my tea's ready. You're coffee should be ready soon too. " Nami added, as he stopped feeding Hiroki for a moment when the baby started hiccuping. He let out a soft laugh as he set the bottle down on the high-chair table, picking Hiroki out of the chair and held him in his arms patting his back gently. " My mother used to say I'd get hiccups whenever she fed me, I guess he inherited that from me. " Nami said, turning towards Alyxandyr and he patted gently on Hiroki's back until a little burp came out.

[Alyxandyr Demitrios]

"Yeah, I'll feed him. As for breakfast, fix whatever you want. I'm sure it'll taste great, no matter what it is." He gave the boy a smile as he followed him back over to Hiroki's highchair. He wasn't nearly as skilled Nami with feeding and changing the little boy, but he was a quick learner, at least. He watched as the other tended to the baby's needs, only pulled out of his attentive observation by the whistling of the kettle. he nodded as the information concerning the state of his morning coffee was relayed, again drawn away to something else as Hiroki hiccuped.

"He's just so adorable..." Alyxandyr commented happily, watching his mate relieve the poor boy of the hiccups. He honestly couldn't remember if he got them often when he was a little kid or not. His parents hadn't ever told him stuff like that. He'd been too young to care when they were alive, quite frankly. Even if they had, that'd been quite a long time ago and he doubted he would've remember anyway. Oh well, it wasn't important.

"That's not the only thing he inherited for you. I'm pretty sure the cuteness came from you, too." The man said, sneaking in a quick, gentle pinch on Nami's backside. It'd been a while since he'd last did that. But, no one could really expect him to keep his hands to himself all of the time, regardless of wether he had a kid now or what. It was just too hard to keep his hands off of the boy, really. While most of the tocuhes had been innocent little things as of lately, he guess three weeks was enough recovery time and that a few little gropes now and then wouldn't be that bad.

[Nami Amakura]

Nami eeped gently as he felt a sudden twitch against his backside, jumping gently which made Hiroki laugh. Nami looked back at Alyxandyr, a blush on his face and a smile on his lips. " No groping while I'm holding Hiroki. God forbid you do something to make me jump ten feet in the air. " Nami said, pushing his back against Alyxandyr as he sat Hiroki back into his high chair. He then picked up the bottle and handed it to Alyxandyr, " Now feed him for a few moments and then let him breath. We don't want him turning blue on us. " Nami sat, patting Alyxandyr on his chest before walking back over to stove.

He turned off the burner under the kettle and picked up a pot holder to pick up the kettle. he brought the kettle over to a mug that he was set out with a green tea tea-bag in it and poured the water in. He then set the kettle on one of the top burners and bunked the tea-bag in and out of the steaming water to mix the green tea in. While he let his tea cool, Nami walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out a carton of eggs and milk and headed back over to the counter by the stove. Once he set the two items on the counter, he walked back over to the refrigerator and took out the butter before closing the door.

" How does an omelet sound? Or maybe scrambled eggs? Your pick, they're both made the same way. " Nami said, taking a bowl out of the cupboard and a fork out of the utensil drawer. Nami opened the carton of eggs and plucked four eggs out and started cracking them against the bowl. Once he disposed of all the shells, Nami picked up the fork and started beating the eggs in the bowl.

"Oh come on. You can't say you haven't missed it." The older Zercan teased as the boy leaned back against him. He wrapped one arm about Nami's waist and took the bottle in his other, nodding at the instructions. This was another bit of useful information. He'd have to store this into the 'Baby Do's and Don'ts' part of his mind. Hn.. This baby thing wasn't that hard, actually, and he honestly couldn't have been happier now that the two of them had a child. He laughed as he let Nami go to let the other tend to breakfast, adding a sarcastic comment, "Oh? Why not? I think blue would be a fine color for him."

He pulled up a chair next to the highchair and plucked the little boy right out of it and into his arms, having mastered this 'how to hold a baby' deal quite a while ago. He gave the baby a gentle tickle on the side before holding the bottle up to him and carefully coaxing Hiroki to take it. He loved holding the boy, really. He doubted Nami was going to get him back now without a fight after he'd asked him to feed him. In truth, the Zercan had been just as clingy as his mate when it came to Hiroki.

"Either is fine. Surprise me." He commented, looking up from Hiroki to Nami momentarily. He gave the other a smile before looking back to the boy in his arms, idly tapping his foot against the ground. Usually he wasn't all that hungry in the mornings, but today was different. In fact, it felt like he hadn't ate in quite a while. But, that wasn't much of an issue. Nami was a fantastic cook, or at least Alyxandyr thought so. It was better than the stuff he'd prepared forhimself at any rate. He'd since gotten out of the habit of going out to eat or getting a bit of fast food a few nights a week for dinner since the other had moved to Zerca.

Nami laughed gently, turning his head again to face Alyxandyr as he stirred the bowl of eggs. God this man could not make up his mind. " Fine then. Both! " Nami declared, challenging his own cooking skills to make two egg dishes at the same time. He spun around at this moment, adding milk to the bowl as well as salt and pepper. He stirred up this new egg mixture until everything blended and bent down to the bottom cabinets where he pulled out not one--but two--skillets. He placed each on a burner and turned each on, taking a step back to the counter and cut two pieces of butter from the stick. He dropped on in each skillet, the butter starting to melt as the pans started to heat up.

Nami huffed his bangs out from his eyes as he opened up the utensil drawer again, plucking out a pair of chopsticks. Nami had gotten used to cooking with chopsticks growing up and old habits were hard to break. He traveled each piece of butter around the pan to coat it with melted butter with one chopstick. Once each piece of butter was melted completely, Nami placed the chopsticks down on the counter and picked up the bowl of eggs. With a final stir, Nami started emptying the bowl into the two pans.

Now came the fun part. The cooking itself part. Setting the empty bowl in the sink, Nami started stirring one of the egg-filled pans with the chop-sticks as he let the other sit and cook. The pan used for the omelet needed to fluff up in order to be flipped while the scrambled eggs one needed constant moving. Nami looked back over his shoulder at Alyxandyr and Hiroki, smiling upon the two. " When you're done feeding him, just put the bottle in the sink and I'll wash it after. You can put him in his play pen after you've burped him or play with him yourself. Though, if I see him hanging off the ceiling I will kick you so hard in your backside you won't be able to sit down for a week. " Nami said, raising his eyebrows unevenly as he finished up the last part of his sentence. He didn't want his son exposed to frightful thing just yet, he was far too young to be leaping from wall to wall.
