The discomfort Haruki was feeling made Hinata wake up. He started patting his stomach and Haruki gradually calmed down.
The next morning, Takahara came around 7 am to wake Haruki up. He saw Hinata sleeping like a baby and smiled gently as he lifted his arm that was around Haruki's belly.
" Mmm.." Haruki moaned as he opened his eyes slightly. Seeing Takahara he smiled.
" Morning love."
" Morning." He replied looking to his side and chuckled at the sight of Hinata's sleeping baby face.
Now facing Takahara, he raised his hands up and the latter carried him, laughing softly. They kissed for a good while before separating.
" Don't wake him up, silly." Haruki said, hitting Takahara lightly on the arm.
" Dr James is here. C'mon let's get you freshened up." He carried him out and got him ready.
----------------------------------------------------
" Yep, positive, Haruki....you're ... pregnant."
Everyone in the room except Hinata, who knew already, and Leon, who had his suspicions.
" Ha...ha..hahaha. You're a very funny guy Dr James you know that right?" Haruki laughed nervously.
" Doc, what do mean he's pregnant. I mean he's a guy." Takahara said, confusion taking over his facial features.
" Yeah, but don't forget his other species." And they all made an " o " sign.
Haruki meanwhile was still in shock and awe.
" I'm gonna have a baby..... I'm gonna be a father... We're gonna be parents." He said slightly. His hands subconsciously rubbed his still flat tummy.
" So what are the things we're supposed to do and not do? What are the things we should watch out for? Is he gonna be okay? Will he have any discomfort?"
Everyone chuckled at the new talkative Takahara.
" Chill, expecting father." James said.
" I know this is shocking and exhilarating but proper amount of rest and peace of mind will safely deliver your baby. In layman's word, you need to be well rested, avoid thinking and excess stress. Ah, no sex for now "
The last part made Takahara and Haruki blush
" Oh my baby's growing." Leon said, sniffing.
After regular check up and assurance, Leon finally released him back to his wife.
Two days later**
Sunlight filters through the blinds. Asahi stands by the window, watching the quiet street below. He turns to look at a small photo frame on his desk – a candid of him and Hinata, smiling under cherry blossoms.
"It's been too long..." He said softly to himself.
He goes Hinata and shook him to wake him up.
" Morning baby ." He smiled lovingly.
Hinata yawned as his eyes fluttered awake.
" Morning." He said sleepily.
(Pause)
"Do you have plans today?" Asahi asked as he stroked his hair.
"Hm... Other than coffee and my third rewatch of that show you said you'd finish with me? Nope." He replied, voice still laced with sleep.
"Then... let's go somewhere. Just the two of us." Asahi smiled.
"Is this you finally cashing in that date you promised... three months ago?" He replied smiling.
" Guilty." He laughed
"Meet me at the station in an hour?
"Make it forty minutes. You're buying me cotton candy." Hinata said smiling.
" Sure baby." He left him to get dressed but not after kissing him breathless.
-------------------------------------------------------
Colorful signs, excited families, bubble-blowers. Asahi stands waiting near the ticket gate. Hinata walks up behind him, pokes his side.
"You look nervous. Are you more scared of roller coasters or quality time?" Hinata adjed
"Honestly? The latter. The coaster has a clear track." Asahi replied.
"Well, lucky for you, I'm great at derailing plans. Come on." Hinata said, laughing. Asahi smiled heartily at his reaction and was happy he brought him out.
They sit across from each other as the Ferris wheel begins to rise. Hinata gazes out the window while Asahi watches him.
"It's weird... being away from everything for a day. Like we stepped out of our own lives." Hinata said.
"That was the idea. No work. No family stuff. No pretending like we're fine when we're not." Asahi replied, drawing Hinata closet and placing a peck on his forehead.
"We haven't been free, have we?" Hinata asked, his voice down.
"No. The whole rescue thingy has been time grabbing but it's important. Don't worry baby, it'll soon come to an end. Everything's gonna be alright soon." He pecked his forehead again and Hinata chuckled.
" The shape of you lips' gonna be imprinted in my forehead at this rate."
" Really, that'll be awesome." Asahi laughed and Hinata joined in.
Beat.
They hold eye contact. A long silence passes, full of tension and care.
The Ferris wheel was down now and they got down.
They walk together, the mood lighter now. Hinata points to a game booth.
"Win me that stuffed fox and I'll forgive you for the emotional trauma earlier." Hinata challenged.
"Only if I get a kiss as a prize." Asahi smirked.
"You better aim well then." Hinata teased.
Asahi throws a ball — it bounces off a can pyramid. Not a win.
"Oops." Asahi said making a hurt expression.
"Looks like you're paying for dinner too." Hinata grinned.
Asahi lost painfully and Hinata couldn't stop grinning.
" That was a flip, let's play another game." Asahi insisted.
Great! Here's a short scene in screenplay format based on your description. It feels like a romantic slice-of-life or lighthearted drama. Let me know if you want it in a different tone or style!
Colorful lanterns sway in the evening breeze. Hinata and Asahi walk side by side, their laughter mingling with the sounds of the festival, as they headed to another game area.
"Oh! Look—ring toss! Think you can beat me this time?" Hinata called out.
"You're really serious about this rematch huh?" Asahi said, smirking.
"I demand one." Hinata replied, grinning.
" Are your cheeks not hurting?" Asahi said, grinning.
They approach the booth. The vendor hands them rings. Hinata tosses first — perfect shot. Again — another win. Asahi tosses... clink. Miss. Another — clunk. Miss.
"We have a winner!" The vendor called out.
"Thank you, thank you. I humbly accept victory... and dinner on you." Hinata laughed heartily as he saw Asahi's dumb stricken face and gave a mock bow.
"Ugh, I walked right into that one." Asahi groaned.
After playing for a while with Hinata winning all they made their way to a Chinese restaurant, INT. COZY CHINESE RESTAURANT.
Warm lighting, clinking chopsticks, soft jazz playing over a scratchy speaker. Hinata and Asahi sit across from each other, a spread of dumplings, noodles, and stir-fried veggies between them.
"You know, I let you win, right?" Asahi said, laughing as he tries to use chopsticks
"Sure you did." Hinata replied deadpan, stuffing a dumpling in his mouth)
They both laugh. A quiet moment passes. Asahi watches Hinata with soft eyes.
"You're impossible baby... and I love it." Asahi said, smiling at his lover.
Hinata blushes, hiding behind his teacup.
" And you're annoyingly good at flattering but I love it." He replied, still blushing.
" Wanna go home after this?" Asahi asked.
" Yeah, I'm beat." Hinata replied softly and Asahi chuckled as he squeezed his hands gently.
