[ It wasn't the best time for their daughter to wake, though; it's hard to ignore her once she demands attention. And it's not as if Hiyori doesn't demand attention, either, especially right now. No part of Jun wants to leave his side, with his shirt still stained with tears, holding Hiyori's trembling form. The thing is, he can’t grasp how Hiyori must feel waking up from a nightmare, leaving him in tears. It’s been a while since he’s had one of those himself, and they haven’t talked about it much yet.
His fingers resume moving slowly through Hiyori's hair, cupping the back of his head. Jun doesn't really need the poster anymore; it's more of a sentimental comfort than a real necessity these days. Since he started staying over and eventually moved in, his insomnia has faded away, replaced by more peaceful nights. Perhaps Hiyori has become his new security blanket—or maybe he always was. ]
Don't worry, I'm gonna be back in a sec.
[ Nodding back, just to reassure Hiyori, he leans forward, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. As Hiyori sits up, he slowly moves the blankets back, the chirping getting louder by the second. He smiles at Hiyori, fond and warm, as he finally gets up and begins the walk into the other room.
It doesn't take long, but the second he opens the door, her chirps grow louder. Jun's chest constricts, struggling to keep up with the sudden surge of emotions. ]
C'mon, it's gonna be alright! Ohii-san just had a nightmare, so real sorry for waking you ♪
[ He murmurs, trying to calm her down before picking her up. She flaps her tiny wings, and with a tilt of her little birdhead, she seems to understand. Or perhaps it's because she's garnering attention from one of her parents. It's likely the latter; she does seem to take after Hiyori in that aspect, even though she's a proud little chick.
Scooping her up, the chirps calm down, coming each second rather than as insistent as they were moments ago. Next, he picks up her nest, tucking it under his arm, while their little chick curls up underneath Jun's arm. He walks back into the room, still whispering words of comfort to the chick, setting down her nest on the bedside table, and gently placing her inside.
He turns back to Hiyori, leans forward, and thumbs a finger underneath his eye. ]
Told ya it wouldn't take long! Now c'mere and tell me what's up.
