It takes less than five minutes to settle himself and Keita in his bed and pass right back out.
It takes even less than that for the smoke alarm to wake him right back up. Keita, who had just stopped crying, starts screaming in terror again and digs his fingers into Bunta's sides as though clinging for dear life. Bunta sucks in a breath through his wince; it is definitely time to cut those nails!
Bunta sniffs the air-- clear in the bedroom. Holding Keita, he gets back up and opens the door, hallway is clear, no smoke in sight, but he can smell the burning. He knows that particular burning smell, too. Toast.
Well, this is kinda his own fault because he jumped at the chance to go back to bed instead of getting up and making breakfast for everyone. He put Yukimura in a bad position.
Honestly, smiling and going back down to make everything right is the absolute last thing he feels like doing. Literally everything hurts, and he is about as grouchy as he gets from it and the lack of sleep. Recognizing that, he takes a moment in the hall, even with Keita screaming in his ear and the alarm still blaring, to close his eyes, take a deep breath, and mentally reset.
Always remember your priorities. Taking care of Yukimura and kids is Number One. That means helping Yukimura with breakfast. Doing it while exhausted and hung over is just another special talent on his already impressive repertoire. It might feel like hell, but isn't it also just the result of having everything he wants and needs in life? It sure is.
