If Saitou seemed a bit overzealous in his concerns about looking after his family, and whether he was doing things right, it wasn't without reason. There was, after all, very little that Saitou Hajime did without reason, even if not everyone might agree whether his reasons were always good ones.
But however good or bad his reasons for anything else he did might be, there was no doubt in his mind that his reasons for being so protective, of stressing over doing everything just right, were absolutely good ones. Chizuru had brought him hope and given him a reason to keep going when he'd felt that seeking an honorable death was the only thing left for him; she'd helped him find purpose when he was sure the world had no place for him.
Saitou knew what it felt like to lose everything, and that was a place he was adamant about never returning to. If Chizuru got a little impatient at him sweeping her off her feet and asking for triple confirmation about whether he was tying a diaper properly, so be it.
When he felt the warmth of her against his back and the brush of her lips on his neck, he had to smile.
