rin took a grasp on the end of oikawas shirt, vigorously tugging at it. his excitement being very noticeable as if the child had stars in his eyes.

you never really took rin to these types of things, considering the fact that you had been working long shifts, even night shifts. work really took a toll on things, so usually when you'd be working overtime rin would be with his favorite uncle.

kenma didn't seem to mind because he enjoyed being in rin's company. kenma acted as a father figure to rin, teaching him how to play games. he was taught how to make his own bed. rin was taught a number of things.

kenma was there when oikawa wasn't. it's as simple as that.

it was mostly tough on you though, working so late to provide for rin. you hated it, you wanted to just stay home and spend time with your son. but life isn't life if it wasn't filled with such hardships.

honestly, you could never forgive oikawa for what he had done, but at least he's trying right? at least he's here, and actually making an effort.

this wasn't the man who runs away when things get the slightest bit "hard" anymore, he has indeed changed. but you aren't willing to accept that, not just yet that is. something inside of you still has some sort of feeling for the setter. maybe it's the fact that you never got the closure you wanted.

that you never genuinely got to express your feelings out to him, tell him how much you were hurting. you hated him for what he had done, yet still missed the feeling of his love.

you were never able to forget the so-called "man who broke your heart" seeing oikawas resemblance in rin makes it ever so difficult to forget. the child just looks so much like his father. it hurt at first, to see basically see oikawa every day. but eventually, you had to come to the realization that rin isn't oikawa.

despite all those factors, you still decided to give oikawa a chance. a chance to be a father.

you both made stupid mistakes, especially you. it was a terrible idea not to tell oikawa. maybe if he found out, the outcome of everything would've been different. maybe in a beneficial way, or a harmful one.

telling your parents was one of the hardest things you had to do.

you were absolutely terrified of them, of what they would think of you.

they definitely didn't take it lightly.

let's look back on that night, shall we?

---

"kenma i can't do this" you managed to mutter in between your soft sobs, "they'll loose all respect for me." you were absolutely at a loss. with kenma sitting by your side, an arm wrapped around you. he stayed silent, letting you spill your emotions out to him. he knew you didn't want his words of pity, you just wanted someone to listen. to be by your side. and he did just that.
