Tourette's || KuroKen

chapter 17 - new home?

The boy slowly got back into the car that was being driven by his new guardian. They had just finished loading all of the furniture, kitchen objects, etc. The moving truck was behind the car, ready to follow them to their new destination.

Misaki has started up the car and sighed, she was nervous but excited.

"This is it," She grinned and let go of the break petal, slowly pushing on the gas. The car had jumped forwards, Misaki breathed, "Sorry."

Luckily through out the rest of the car ride it was smooth and calm. Misaki had put some light music on in the background, and not her usual upbeat pop music. She had also felt more calm with all the plants crowding her car, filled to the brim with all her plant babies.

It had been about fifteen minutes later, they would soon be approaching the house.

"Are you scared?" Misaki asked, getting no response, "Yea me too."

The lady was oddly nervous, even with her beloved plants. Kenma did not want to say anything, as for him, he did not care how nervous she was.

"Do you want to know something now? Or when we get there?" Misaki tried to break the ice once more.

Kenma's lips were sealed, he slightly hummed, giving her a notice he was listening. He didn't want to be extremely rude.

"Well Kuroo is still staying at the hospital, but his father is trying to see if he could get him out. Seeing his house hold is suitable and Kuroo would be perfectly fine in the environment." She tried to explain, making her confused in the process.

Kenma fiddled with his thumbs for a minute, "Why am I going here if he's not going to be there?"

Misaki was a bit appalled he had responded, "Well, he'll be there soon, hopefully.." She shrugged, "Ah! Looks like we're here."

The car slowed down in front of the house, parking on the curb. The engine died down and car noises stopped.

"Here we go Kenma! A new chapter awaits us!" She smiled, unbuckling her seatbelt and jumping out the car door.

Kenma sat there, "Us? Loads of bullshit."

The house had become home to a variety of plants, scattered everywhere. Each now had a special place to sit on or hang from. It had added a new joy to the empty house.

All of the loving boxes were spread throughout the kitchen and living room. Even if there were not many, there were still a good amount to take up some space. Half of them full with clothes.

"It's feels like a jungle in here.." Kuroo's father had mentioned, putting another small pot on the counter.

"It adds more light!" Misaki stretched her arms into the air.

Misaki skipped over to her lover and stared at him intensely. She grabbed his cheeks and locked her eyes with his.

"Thank you." She whispered, "You don't know how much this means to me."

He had chuckled and kissed her lightly, pulled away from her grasp on his cheeks.

He leaned his elbow on the counter and looked behind Misaki, staring at the boy on the couch staring at his phone.

"How's the boy doin'?" He narrowed his eyes back to the lady in front of him.

"Not the best, he did just lose his mother," Misaki leaned against the counter as well. "I'm pretty sure he misses Tetsurō, if you don't mind me calling your son his name."
