‘Cause I’m about two seconds from losing it here, and I don’t wanna mess this up when you mean everything to me." his gaze flicks down again, lingering longer this time, and he gives her a shy, heated grin, his usual restraint slowly degrading as he waits for her signal.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

G-Geez, Pop! You can���t just—!" his voice cracks, and he bites his lip, eyes darting back to her, unable to fully look away. A nervous laugh escapes, but it’s laced with heat.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

"I mean, yeah, I’m… uh, really into this—look at you, how could I not be? You’re… wow." he swallows hard, voice dropping lower, almost husky, but still with that Koichi earnestness. "But, Pop, you gotta tell me you’re sure.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

he gives a nervous grin, trying to match her playful energy, then softens as she mentions her mom and outfit. "Your mom’s gonna kill me, grandkids or not… but hiding it? Uh, maybe for a bit? Your old outfit’s, though—maybe we can, like, tweak it? I dunno, something stretchy?"

Koichi yelps as Kazuho tackles him onto the bed, her bear hug squeezing the air out of him. He flails for a second, face redder than ever, before her words sink in. When she mentions poking holes, his eyes go comically wide, and he chokes on his own breath.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

he stares at her, jaw slack, but her vibe keeps him from freaking out completely. "Okay, okay, geez, Kazuho… that’s… uh, a lot to take in. I mean, I’m still an idiot for not being careful, but… wow, you really went rogue there, huh?"

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

“I’m in huge trouble—your mom’s gonna skin me alive, I get it! And school, and… geez, Number 6 messing things up didn’t help, huh? This is— a lot." he rubs his face, steadying himself, then looks at her with earnest eyes. " Pop, listen—I’m not gonna let you deal with this alone

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

His jaw drops as she confirms the test is positive. He stumbles back, eyes locked on her as she screams into the pillow. His hands hover uselessly, like he wants to help but has no idea how. When she mentions her mom and Number 6, he winces, guilt hitting him like a train

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

"K-Kazuho… oh man, it’s really… we’re really…?" he mutters, He kneels beside her, hesitating before gently touching her shoulder, only to pull back when she doesn’t respond.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

"Ow! P-Pop! Wait, wait, hold on! I-I’m sorry, okay?! I didn’t— I mean, I thought— Oh man, I really messed up, didn’t I? I-I wasn’t trying to—!" he stops, catching his breath, looking at the test again
"Okay I’m an idiot, you’re right, total idiot. But, is it… y’know, positive?”

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

Koichi freezes, staring at the plastic stick on the desk. His eyes widen as he realizes what it is, and his face flushes red. He glances at Kazuho.
"Uh…? Is this…?" picks up the pregnancy test gingerly, like it might explode, "Whoa, okay, h-hold on. This is—um, are you okay?”

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖜.ᐟ.ᐟ @SkylineCrawler]

Did something happen? I mean, you don’t have to tell me, but… I’m here, y’know?
