Benny glanced at the clock as they entered the house. While it was a touch early for said nap, he could see the wisdom of at least attempting to put the boy down for it regardless. It was easy for him to see that Adi was just barely holding it together, likely solely because Rajesh was there in the midst of things with them. “Perhaps it is,” he remarked in agreement as he led the group over to the sofa. “Why don’t you wait here…” the dragon suggested quietly as he slipped from Adi’s grasp to take hold of their son. “Give Daddy Adi a kiss.”
Rajesh almost fought the notion of the nap like he sometimes did, but the excitement of the day coupled by the mention and the closeness seemed to lull the fight away. He let Papa Benny take him from Daddy Adi half-reluctantly before leaning in to kiss as suggested.
Benny nearly pushed Adi onto the couch to keep him from questioning him, fearing the stairs were too much, instead heading upstairs to take care of Raj. After a small touch of drama, the boy went down for his nap without too much trouble leaving his father to hustle back downstairs to his husband’s side. His steps slowing the last final feet as if mired in the seriousness of the tragedy that had befallen them.
