Kaneki and Ayato's shared bedroom was silent besides the light snoring that was emitting from Kaneki as he slept peacefully and the sound of rustling coming from the other side of the room. The source of it; Ayato, who was struggling to stand up onto his two legs, using the crib's wooden pillars to support himself. Once finally being able to stand, he searched around the room till landing eyes onto his caretaker; immediately letting out a loud whine like cry to get his attention.

Kaneki groaned from the sudden break of silence and rolled onto his other side, once the sounds got louder and louder; it knocked Kaneki out of his unconscious state. Sitting up, rubbing his eye; he glanced over at the source of the sound. A warm hearted smile fixed itself onto Kaneki's face as he locked eyes with Ayato. "I'm awake, I'm awake" Kaneki yawned as he stretched his arms out, Ayato let out another impatient cry; pressuring Kaneki to hurry up and aid to him.

"What's wrong huh?" Kaneki called out, voice lacing with concern as he made quick pace to the crib where his beloved adoptive (in consideration) toddler is. Ayato put his arms in the air; indicating he wanted to be lifted out. Following the wordless command, with a beaming smile; he lifted the boy carefully out of the crib and held him protectively to his chest. His arms wrapped securely around his waist and underneath him, supporting him entirely so he wouldn't fall or slip out of his hold.

Ayato in return whacked his chest demandingly, his pair of kakugans glowing uncannily, a low amused chuckle escaped Kaneki as he watched Ayatos entertaining act. "Okay, lets get you something to eat shall we?" Kaneki asked as he made way to the kitchen, Ayato replying with words that not even someone as intelligent as Kaneki could understand but it put a smile on his face nevertheless.

Ayato whined as his caretaker gently sat him down onto his baby feeding chair, gently pushing his legs through the holes despite him thrashing. Ayato frowned watching Kaneki with annoyance written all over his face as he was against his will strapped into the chair. Kaneki laughed and ruffled up Ayato's dark blue hair causing the young boy to pout adorably. Kaneki flashed one more smile before turning away and walking away to the fridge; to look into its contents.

Finding the desired meat, he brought it out and laid it onto the table; delicately unwrapping it and cutting it into small cubes, so it was safe to digest. Once done; Kaneki dropped the cubes into the white coloured bowl decorated with bunnies around it and laid it onto the tray; that was attached to the front of Ayato's feeding chair. Ayato's eyes positivity glowed at the sight as his mouth watered, gently stabbing the fork into the human meat chunk; he lifted it so it was in line with Ayato's mouth, the boy happily taking it into his mouth.

After feeding Ayato's ghoulish needs; Ayato had a sudden burst of energy and demanded to be into his playroom. With a a chuckle and an affectionate smile; he carried Ayato to his desired destination. He opened the door was greeted by the sight of an brightly coloured but not overly done room, the room full of kid-like needed products. The walls of the room painted a light baby blue colour; Ayato's favourite colour, that had cabinets, toy boxes and an wardrobe pushed up against its sides. In the middle of the room was a large carpet which had an table and chair set in the centre of it; books, a pencil case and colouring pencils messily laid out onto it.

Kaneki sighed; frowning at the mess of toys that were thrown carelessly around the room with disapproval. "You're so messy Ayato" Kaneki gently scolded, he gently sat him onto the mat so he could tidy up the mess. As Kaneki cleaned up his mess, Ayato reached over at his most beloved -but also most abused- favourite stuffed teddy; a white bunny that had a black eyepatch sewn onto it that Kaneki made for him and brought it to his chest.

Hearing Ayato's loud childish giggle; Kaneki span around and met with the adorable sight of Ayato hugging his gift, with adoration in his eyes he smiled warmly at the sight. Hurriedly but carefully Kaneki cleaned the table before moving to sit in front of Ayato; who looked up and grinned. Ayato waved his teddy in the air before slamming onto the floor with an mischievous laugh, Kaneki rolled his eyes but smiled affectionately at him nevertheless.

"You're mean, Ayato." Kaneki commented; watching him fondly, at the call of his name, Ayato looked up and stared up at his caretaker. With an idea to mind a grin spread around his child features which caused Kaneki to quirk an eyebrow at him but before he could ask; the bunny was thrown at his face. Kaneki gasped from the unexpected hit while Ayato burst out in giggles, Kaneki rolled his eyes playfully and raised his toy up in the air so it was out of his reach when Ayato went to grab it.

Ayato reached up and tried to grab it but due to his short stubby arms he couldn't, knowing exactly what will get it back; a loud whine escaped him and just like magic; the teddy was placed into his lap. Ayato giggled cutely as he continued to shake the bunny around and hit it on things an mischievous glint in his eyes. Kaneki smiled lovingly at the sight; happiness washing over him as he watched Ayato play joyfully; a beaming grin on his face.

Kaneki reached over and laced his fingers through Ayato's soft locks; gaining the younger's attention, he looked up with bright wide blue curious orbs to lock with soft gentle grey ones that were always filled with affection and love. "Come on, lets do our practices okay?" Kaneki questioned with a small tilt of his head as he gently lifted Ayato up in air. Resting him onto his hip; Kaneki pulled out a chair and carefully manoeuvred to sit Ayato down onto it.

Despite his whining; Kaneki pushed him into the table so he was safely tucked in. Kaneki moved to sit next to him onto his knees so he was in shoulder length with him. "You ready aya?" Kaneki asked; smiling at the clearly annoyed Ayato, who was grumbling nonsense. Kaneki chuckled as he flipped open one of the learning books that Touka had gifted him.

"Alright, Aya, what does this one say?" Kaneki asked pointing to the letter 'A' written above a drawing of an apple. "A!" Ayato shouted; planting a smile on Kaneki's face. "Good. Now what does this one say-" Kaneki continued; going on for a while, till they finished the book, occasionally stopping to repeat a letter till Ayato pronounced it correctly.

"Naw, you did good Aya." Kaneki cooed; ruffling up Ayato's fluffy hair, Ayato pouted and puffed up his cheeks adorably from the affectionate gesture. Kaneki kissed his forehead; smiling at his flushed expression. "Come on, lets continue okay?" Kaneki continued; pulling out another book, Ayato groaned and frowned disapprovingly as Kaneki flipped open the new book.

"Come on aya, it's not that bad-" Kaneki started but Ayato's whining cut him off, Kaneki in return rolled his eyes playfully, "how about this Ayato" Kaneki started; gaining the younger's attention, causing him to snap his head up. "How about after we finish, you can go watch your cartoons uh?" Kaneki asked; smiling as he watched Ayato's eyes lit up. "Ok!" Ayato replied excitedly causing Kaneki to burst out with laughter.

"Alright can you say this word?-"
