Work Text:
Despite being second born, Fuyumi was the most hardworking out of them all. All three boys were aware of that, even Shouto, who was only six months old at that time. From as much as his baby mind could process, he could see that his big sister gets home more and more tierd every day. Touya was pissed because of Fuyumi being the most hardworking. He felt that – as the oldest one – he should be the one doing the most, protecting all of his family from any kind of danger – and what was he doing instead? Going to hospital visit after hospital visit, so doctors could find a way for his body to be strong enough, so he could be a hero in the future.
”What’s wrong, Touya-nii?” Little Natsuo asked, as his brother flopped to his side on the bed the three boys were on. Shouto was sitting between Natsuo’s legs, turning his head towards Touya when he heard the body hitting the bed. He let out a baby noise, patting his head in worry.
”I’m worried about Yumi,” Touya said, looking up at Natsuo. ”She works too hard for someone her age. I mean, I know our family is all about perfection, but still!” Natsuo hummed in agreement.
”She doesn’t want mom or dad to worry about her,” he said with a sigh. ”She keeps her energetic façade up too well.”
Their conversation was interrupted when the sliding door opened and an extremely exhausted Fuyumi walked in. The two older boys knew that she had a math competition that day, so they could understand why she was in such a state. Despite being exhausted, Fuyumi still beamed at her brothers. As she reached the bed, she knelt down beside it.
”Hey, guys-” she started, but couldn’t finish, because she literally passed out, landing face first on the bed, resting her forehead on Shouto. The baby let out a worried sound, now patting his sister on the head. Natsuo looked at Touya with immense worry in his eyes.
”Scoot a bit closer to me, Natsu,” Touya said, and Natsuo did as he was told, so now Fuyumi’s head rested on the sheet than on Shouto. Touya climbed over his little brother, took his sister under her arms and gently pulled her up onto the bed. ”Let’s have a good nap, shall we?” He whispered, and both other boys nodded.
Natsuo lay down onto his side with Shouto between him and Fuyumi. He was close enough for Shouto to cuddle up to his big sister, grabbing her T-shirt with his tiny hands. After doing that, he let out content baby coos. Touya lay down behind Fuyumi, hugging her from behind. They were out like a light mere seconds after that, hoping they could help their sister with some good old cuddle time – at least a little bit.
