Shinyo heard a knock at the door 'Oh great..who could it be...' He thought to himself. He opened the door slightly, peering out holding Keigo in his arms still. He looked down and whispered quietly "Its okay baby feathers, just be quiet..." Keigo gave a small nod and continued to look at his father reading his facial expressions and watching his eyes especially. Not like Keigo ever made a sound anyways, he was a genuinely quiet person. With his mother and her boyfriend he had to be or he'd be severely injured. His mothers boyfriend, especially while drunk, hated hearing Keigo make any kind of noise, it was annoying to him and it made him want to beat Keigo. So Keigo after many incidents realized this and shut up. Smart bird. He could never tell if on the inside his mother wasn't such a bad person, maybe she had a string of sympathy left for her baby. But no. She'd mentioned many times that she hated Keigo because of how much he reminded her of his father, Shinyo. This meant a lot of time in the basement for Keigo. His mother would starve him, once she put Keigo in the basement its as if he never existed.. She completely forgot about him for days on end, Keigo went without meals for up to 10 days before she realized him missing. Terrible mother and an even worse human, the thing Keigo never understood is why she kept going back to the same terrible abusive men again and again. She was only putting herself in pain and at risk, right? Other than her son of course that she could give to craps less about. Keigo looked at his father, noticing the spark of worry in his fathers eyes as he stared out the crack of the door. Suddenly he shoved Keigo into the closet of the little motel room. Shinyo whispered to the scared shaking child: "Don't move an inch or make a sound.. It could cost us both of our lives.. Understand?.." Keigo nodded, signaling that he understood his father. "Good.." suddenly the knock turned into a bang. Shinyo ran to the door
peaking out. "Yes?!" he called out, he knew the voice instantly, Keigos mother. He picked up his baby feathers out of the closet, He hushed the shaking Keigo gently and looked into his eyes, he saw how scared his child was and he got a bit worried, if he was honest he didn't know what to do. All he knew was that he couldn't allow Keigo to be hurt or taken by her again.
