he hid under his bed、covering his face with both forearms. sniffling sounds slipping every so often.

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ❝ .... ❞ delicate digits play with the hem of his red shirt、not yet finding the words to answer his dad. he was quite upset、but not because of toji.

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ❝ she's ... she's still ... ❞ megumi turned tail and ran off to his room、abruptly.𓂃⤷

[𝖙𝖔𝖏𝖎. @carnagemanifest]

toji closes his eyes, realizing he might be upsetting the child. adjusting his posture, he kneels down in front of megumi, getting eye level.

"hey, you're not in trouble. what's the emergency, kid?"

looking at his son patiently, expression void of the panic he had moments ago.

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

⠀⠀⠀⠀❝ huh... .ᐣ ❞ the child remarks、staring up at his dad. ❝ did i do somethin' bad.ᐣ

..you said it's for emergencies. ❞ his little face fell—he doesn't know what he did wrong. a step or two taken away from toji、only now megumi avoids eye contact.

[𝖙𝖔𝖏𝖎. @carnagemanifest]

it's too quiet. . .
he finally looks around, pinpointing the location of his son and rushing over to the phone, grabbing it out of his tiny hand.

"hello, sorry— my son picked up the phone. sorry for the inconvenience."

putting the phone down, turning towards megumi—

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

yeah.

he's the best—but ... there's this guy、too.

₍ he picked up a black and white figure that resembled some twisted form of a spider. ₎

he's like you ..

[𝖙𝖔𝖏𝖎. @carnagemanifest]

( he's surprised at how megumi responded to the toy, continuing to clean up the floor. race cars, Legos, all putting them in the toy box that rests against the wall. )

oh— okay, then.
is he your favorite?

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

₍ and pick his toys up he did. scooping some of the blocks into a sphere casing with a lid. at least—he did until the action figure caught his attention.

black panther.

a small hand took it from toji's、almost snatching it. ₎

that's mine—don't touch him.

[𝖙𝖔𝖏𝖎. @carnagemanifest]

( toji shakes his head, guiding megumi to begin picking up the toys scattered around the living room. )

you have so many cool toys, though. they'll get sad if you replace them, y'know.

( picking up an action figure, waving it around )

look how cool this guy is!

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

slowly picks up the house phone to call the emergency line——while his dad wasn't watching.

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

₍ and there goes his other hand、index finger right in his nostril while he stood there.

he at least holds onto his father's large hand—his tiny one swallowed up. ₎

⠀⠀⠀⠀nuh、i want a new one.ᐟ

[𝖙𝖔𝖏𝖎. @carnagemanifest]

( cringing, reaching to gently pull the boy's hand down. )

quit diggin' in your nose. your toys are all over the house, megumi. we should clean up. . .

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀﹙finger in his nose.﹚

⠀⠀⠀⠀.. it's recess. where's the toys.ᐣ

[𝖙𝖔𝖏𝖎. @carnagemanifest]

what you need, kiddo?

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

bleh...

where's his dad now...

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

thankfully 、the urchin took the block from the other boy's hand and clutched it close to his chest.

❝ don't touch. you got all the blocks there—see.ᐟ ❞ he's pointing at the red and yellow ones featuring other shapes.

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

he stepped a little closer until he was right at kawaki's hand、looking at the blue block and how it was carved into a bridge. like most kids、his attention span wasn't fleshed out. he could get happy、sad、or angry over the smallest change.

𓂃⤷

[ᵉᵈᵍʸ v͟e͟s͟s͟e͟l͟ @mortuiviventes_]

kawaki was still not familiar with the area, so being outside with someone else's kid sounded like a nightmare.

“haah? it's far too late for that. besides, you have all these cool toys right here.” he picked up a few blocks.

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

his arms dropped back into default position、turning his head to get a good look around the house—it looked lived in at least. clothes thrown everywhere. crayons scattered with blocks and stuffed animals.

❝ mm ... can we play outside.ᐣ ❞

it's past midnight.

[ᵉᵈᵍʸ v͟e͟s͟s͟e͟l͟ @mortuiviventes_]

“no. hell is the current state of this damn world.” perhaps a conversation for when the brat was older.

“listen kid, we have a few hours to spare. anything in particular you wanna do?”

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

❝ that's a curse word. ❞

arms crossed over his little chest、his father left him in the hands of ... ... who was this kid again.ᐣ

[ᵉᵈᵍʸ v͟e͟s͟s͟e͟l͟ @mortuiviventes_]

“the hell are you looking at, kid?”

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

glaring up at — @mortuiviventes_

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

@impxrecurse —

⌜ smacks hand against his cheek repeatedly. ⌟

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

yawns. 💭

.. time to pester dad.

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

bunnies. all safe and away from dad... .ᐟ

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

he needs a nap .. so bad. help.

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

₍ his eyes were brimming with tears in the corners、wrists held in protest to stop his pestering jabs. ₎

⠀⠀⠀⠀❝ when is mom coming—she'll get you. and say 'm not soft. you're soft. ❞

₍ all that bickering .. he forgot to watch the cartoons. they're going off ... 💧.₎

[𝙎𝙚𝙖 𝙐𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣 @TenRituals]

₍ every time his hands were pushed aside—they came back up again、yanking and jabbing at his father、repeatedly. ₎

❝ when mom gets home you're in big trouble—i'm gonna tattle everything.ᐟ ❞

₍ he doesn't know she's not coming back... ₎
