Another Morning at the MSBY residence. Bokuto was getting his daughter (Y/n) ready for the day.

And this was the most tasking part.

He had prepared the tub of water already and everything else, all he had to do next was undress her and put her in the tub.

He pulled her top off her head and turned to drop it in the laundry basket.

When he turned back, he saw that she had ran away.

"(Y/n), we cannot do this everyday!" He complained, getting off the floor.

A short "No!" Escaped her lips and she ran out of the bedroom.

"CATCH THAT CHILD" yelled Bokuto as he burst out of the room running passed a confused Sakusa after the child.

For short legs, she was fast.

"I got her!" Atsumu declared with pride, well, until she ran right between his legs "Don't got her!"

"YOU'RE AN INTERNATIONAL SETTER BUT YOU CAN'T CATCH A FREAKING TODDLER!?" Sakusa yelled, obviously disappointed at what he just witnessed

"But she's fast!" Bokuto and Atsumu whined in unison.

"Hey guys wha- Oh. Hey there!" Shoyo greeted the little girl who bumped right into him. He scooped her up and she clung to him immediately.

"And we have a winner" muttered Sakusa.

"Thanks man" Bokuto exhaled moving closer to the pair "sorry about that, I can handle her from here"

"But why is she shirtless?" Asked the sleepy ginger.

"Come on Cupcake, don't bother Shoyo" Bokuto smiled, in attempts to take the girl from him.

This made her grip on Shoyo even stronger.

"No!" She hissed.

"Why not?" Asked Atsumu.

"Bath-time" she mumbled.

"Oh.." the 3 men nodded.

"Come on. You have to take a-"

"No bath-time. Please?" She pleaded, with the puppy eyes.

"Resist Bokuto! Don't submit!" Sakusa whispered "She knows what she's doing"

Bokuto looked at his teammates, then his daughter. Her cute class eyes boring into his soul

"I...i- I can't!" He bellowed "She- she's too cute and- how am I supposed to- she'll cry and- AH HELP ME OMI-OMI"

"I mean sure I'm all for cleaning but I don't like the sound of crying"

"Alright then... back to he drawing board."

"Don't worry! We'll help you figure something out" Hinata smiled, patting Bokuto's back.

"We?" Sakusa asked, pointing at himself.

"Yes. Omi-Kun" Atsumu chimed in "let's go!" He cheered pulling poor Sakusa along with him as they retreated back to the Bathroom

The 4 men sat crossed legged, in a circle in Bokuto's bathroom while the toddler clung to the person who managed to catch her; Shoyo.

"Why is she so afraid of baths anyway" Atsumu pondered "think her parents used to try drowning her or something?" He asked obliviously making all heads whip in his direction.

"What the he-"

"Oh my Gosh, Atsumu what's wrong with you" Sakusa scolded.

"It's an honest question!"

"Well don't phrase it like that jeez" Shoyo shook his head.

"Oh...sorry"

"So.. basically she doesn't like baths or showers for some unknown reason" Sakusa stated. "And you can't just leave her unclean"

"How about dry-cleaning?" Shoyo asked.

"Every day?" Atsumu opposed.

"Why don't you just take a bath, with her?" Asked Shoyo.

"I've tried" he whined "it's still the same"

"I've got an idea!" Atsumu gasped. "Let's call Mayu!"

"Oh yeah"

"Yes!"

"Sakusa, call her!"

Sakusa dialled their manager's number and put it on speaker. After 3 rings, Mayu picked up her phone.

"Omi-Kun it's my day off. I am babysitting a man-child" She hissed.

"Man child!?" Bokuto muttered

"Hey!" Gasped Atsumu.

"It's not me though, right?" Asked Shoyo.

"Don't mind them. We just have a question." Sakusa piped up.

"Oh sure. What is it?"

"How do you get a child to enjoy bathtime?" Bokuto asked.

"Bathtime- Oh! Your daughter?" She asked.

"Yeah. She's really good at escaping from it." He explained "she hates baths"

"Is that so? Have you tried making it fun for her?" She asked.

"Um.. I tried singing to calm her down if that counts, she hated it" He explained with a dejected sigh remembering the sad events of 2 nights prior.

"What about bath bombs?" She asked.

"Eh? Whazzat?" Asked Atsumu.

"You don't know what a bath bomb is?" Sakusa asked with a dissatisfied glare.

"So? I'm a shower guy" said Atsumu.

"Well so am I but...still"

"Uh..so are you still listening?" Asked Mayu, she was used to them forgetting themselves.

"Ah yeah! A bath bomb" Bokuto nodded "Go on!"

"There should be a whole section for that. Just go all out." She shrugged.

"So.. we just buy them at the store" Asked Atsumu.

"No Atsumu, you get them from the church. Tch. Dumbass" she hissed before hanging up.

"Damn"

"Ouch"

"Alright. Omi-Omi and I can head to the store. Can you watch her for me?"

"Sure!"

"Who said I'd follow you to the-"

"Hurry up Omi-omi!"

"Well Mayu wasn't kidding when she said there's a whole section for this" Bokuto chuckled eyeing all the products.

"So.. a bath-bomb. Pick one." Said Sakusa.

"Okay" Bokuto nodded picking a random one "how about-"

"Not that one" Sakusa cut in "the dye's too strong"

"How do you know?"

"I was addicted to bath-bomb reviews a year ago. I know the brands" He explained flatly.

Bokuto didn't know if he was allowed to laugh so he just nodded slowly

"So why don't you choose?"

"My pleasure, that one" He pointed at a colorful star shaped bath-bomb "it even has a small toy in it"

"Okay! Perfect- what's next?"

Their eyes skimmed more of the items and they had come across 2 products made by the same company.

"The fuck is a bath-drop?" Muttered Sakusa.

"Forget that- there's such a thing as bath-tub finger paint?" Bokuto asked in pure disbelief.

"I mean... I don't know"

"How about we get both"

"Alright."

and She was already showing signs of her dismay.

"it's okay! See I'm here with you okay? Can you calm down for Kou just a little bit?" He asked, cupping her cheeks.

"I'll show you a magic trick okay!?" He cheered picking up a bath drop "look at this" He said.

He picked up the bath-drop tablet and waved it around her face before he dropped it in the water.

It began to dissolve and the water began to turn blue.

Her eyes widened and she let out a gasp.

"That's so cool right!?" He asked and she nodded furiously "you wanna try? Here you go" he smiled, giving her a bath drop.

As she dropped hers in, it made that area of the tub of water change colour. This seemed to amuse her and soon after a small smile etched itself onto her face.

"Wanna see something else?" He asked bringing something else out of the bag.

"Yeah" she nodded still grinning at him.

"Look at this!" He showed her the star-shaped bath-bomb Sakusa picked out "it's a bath-bomb! Isn't it pretty?"

"Pretty" her tiny voice repeated. His heart melted a bit as she started speak to him.

"Here you go. Put it in the water." He smiled, handing her the bath-bomb.

She carefully put the bath-bomb in the water. It began to dissolve leaving a trail of colorful bubbles behind it. She stared at it in awe.

"Wow~" she whispered.

After the bath-bomb dissolved, the prize popped up and Bokuto opened it up for her. It was a Miniature rubber duck.

He picked it up and stretched it towards her.

"It's for you" He smiled.

"Thank you" she uttered, carefully taking it from him.

"No need to thank me, it's a gift from the bath-bomb" He explained.

"Ah...thank you bath-bomb" she said to nobody in particular.

"Aw" Bokuto chuckled. "Okay okay, one more present from Daddy!"

He pulled out the tubes of Bath-tub finger paint and poured some paint on the side of the tub.

"Here, you can draw on my back" He turned.

She started off cautiously but slowly got used to it. She began scribbling on the man's back. And when I say this took time.

I mean it.

Bokuto has a big body. And she insisted on drawing on his whole back. of course he didn't refuse.

They spent more time playing around than they did taking an actual bath.

✯✿✿✯

"BATHTIME WAS A SUCCESS" Announced the father.

"YES!" The men rejoiced congratulating Bokuto on his new achievement.

"Nice" Sakusa mumbled "Good job (Y/n)"

The child smiled at him.

"Ah! Look she's smiling!" Shoyo pointed.

"Quick take a photo!" Bokuto babbled.

"Already ahead of you" Sakusa stated, tapping away at his phone.

That evening, the photos were printed on a Polaroid and put into a folder which would soon be filled with millions of photos and memories
