Today was the day Kazama had been taken in by Fenrir— in short, it was his birthday.

The said glamorous man is stuck in the brig as of now due to a certain man that Kazama deeply wishes to punch in the face.

And so, Lindow was assigned to a task that he had never did before: Take care of two children who are unfamiliar with human interaction.

The raven-haired male rubbed his nape as he remembered Kazama's words:

Remember, Lindow-san, her name is Tenshii! Like, 'angel' in english! you got it? and Kuze brings a lot of books with him so you must carry them too!

He underwent several missions that are far more complex than this but the veteran could not help it. Children are not his forte.

Opening the door, Lindow took a deep breath before coughing. "Hello there!.. Tenshii... Tenshii, was it?" Lindow looked at the little girl on the bed. who was scribbling letters on a piece of paper.

"Yes.." came a meek reply from the small girl, her dry, black hair hiding her face from the older man, Lindow noticed the fluency of her language. Kazama really did teach her well.

"My name is Lindow and I am your uncle... You do.. remember me, right?" Lindow slightly scratched his nape, still testing the waters. "Yes.. Uncle Window... You and Mama once dressed as.. a chicken." Tenshii smiled a bit from the memory, They looked quite silly dancing around in chicken costumes.

"......Yes... Kazama ..er.. your Mom told you to call me Window, didn't he?" Lindow's eye was twitching, Kazama is still as sneaky as ever. "No.. I made that myself. Uncle Window." The small girl smiled, making the raven haired god eater choke inwardly. He had not expected this.

"Is there.. something wrong.. ..? Uncle..?" Tenshii's head tilted a few degrees, questioning her dear old Uncle Lindow.

"N.. Nothing. Today is Kazama's.. erm, your Mom's birthday. Do you want to see him with your brother?" Lindow did his best to change the topic as he offered a kind smile to the child in front of him.

"Birthday....?" Tenshii's head was still tilted, as if her brain was still processing what a 'Birthday' is. "Oh.. Mama's birthday... Yes! I want to see him with Brother!" The little girl's eyes lit up like fireworks.

"Alright then! Let's get you dressed and up! I'll go get your brother, Okay?" Lindow ruffled the girl's hair.

"Okie, Uncle Window!" she smiled with the brightness of a thousand stars.

Meanwhile, Kazama continued to read his book inside the brig, a bowl of cherries sat next to him as he leisurely drank sweet tea.

"Mama!" A childish voice rang out.

Kazama's ears perked up, surely, he was imagining things. Isolation is truly dangerous. It makes one insane and desperate for any human interaction.

The glamorous god eater frowned at the thought. He's having auditory hallucinations now, and that is not good, isn't it?

"Mama. We bought cherries for you." Two children stood in front of Kazama, shocking the poor man into dropping the cherry he was holding on his book.

"?! Tenshii? Kuze? What are you two doing here?" The glamorous god eater fired in a hushed tone— they might attract attention, and Rui would just LOVE to get some juicy gossip about him.

"Uncle Window told us it's your birthday.. so.. We bought cherries for you.." Tenshii spoke meekly, her hand was clutching Kuze's shirt like a lifeline.

"Yes. Uncle Window picked us up and gave us a tour around the den and the outer ghetto! Mama, there were children like us out there." Kuze gave Kazama an enthusiastic smile while holding Tenshii's hand that was clutching his shirt. The gesture alone makes Kazama's heart melt.

"It was scary... Mama. I was shaking when I saw a lot of people around me.. but they were really nice, and fun to watch." Tenshii smiled as well despite her legs were visibly shaking from the sudden exposure to a lot of people.

Any more and this would give Lindow and Kazama diabetes. These kids are too pure and innocent for this kind of world, they were literally sparkling like deities from above.

Kazama's smile was from ear to ear as he lovingly gazed upon his children, glamour can wait for a bit, his children comes first before anything else.

"We couldn't smuggle some cake in here.. but these kids told me you like cherries, so here." Lindow handed a small parcel that contained cherries, or in Kazama's words: 'A small piece of glamorous paradise'

"Thank you, Lindow-san." Kazama smiled as he faced Lindow with his two children.

the sincerity of Kazama's smile could be able to make even the toughest of hearts melt. It was the kind of smile that would pierce through your heart and bones.

Lindow could only grin back and say:

"You're welcome, Kazama."

Three days after Kazama had landed in the brig, The gunner was freed from the "unglamorous place of cold isolation".

He soon adopted the two children secretly, with Lindow's name listed on the paperworks before buying a lovely home for his family.

"This is our new home!" Kazama smiled as he showed the children the luxurious furnishings, and not to mention, that glamorous chandelier hanging on the ceiling.

Tenshii and Kuze's eyes were enthusiastic about their new home, although a bit perplexed by the size of the mansion, it doesn't lessen the fact that it is still their home now.

"Can I move in?" Lindow's head popped out from the front door, causing the children to run to their favorite uncle.

"Uncle!/Uncle Window!" both children chimed as Kazama gave Lindow a flat rejection with a smile:

"Definitely not."

"But Kazama!"

The tirade continued on and on and on.
But that's another story.

A/N: Finally, the story on how the kids were adopted is done. I can start the real character development for the kids and Kazama.
