Chapter 26

Shouyou woke up with a knock on the door. He heard the door creak a little. Soon he turned his head to see his father's head sticking out looking at him.

"I brought you some lunch. You need to eat before
you take your medicine."He said coming in and putting the tray on his nightstand.

Shouyou stared at his father. The real Hinata. He sighed and looked at the food then turned his head away. Ignoring his father's stingy stares. Shouyou was a little pissed off.

"Shouyou? Do you need help sitting up?"He asked and not a single word came out of his mouth.

It was quiet for a moment until he spoke. "Stop trying to speak to me."

"Shouyou, listen. I had no choice. She was my sister."Shouyou looked at him.

"So what was I?"Shouyou said angrily.

"Shouyou."

"Am I a sperm donor? Is that it?"Shouyou said sitting up angrily.

"Listen Shouyou, you are my child! You were always my child. I was in trouble and I had no choice."He told him.

"BUT YOU DID! YOU RAN OFF BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT US. YOU WERE MY DAD AND YOU RAN AWAY!"He screamed at his father.

"I ONLY HAD YOU! YOU WERE MY FRIEND! YOU WERE MY PARENT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. INSTEAD, YOU RAN AWAY BECAUSE YOUR SISTER WANTED ALL THAT MONEY YOU HAD. YOU MADE MOM WORK HER ASS OFF AND WHAT DID YOU DO? COME BACK FOR IT!"He shouted as he cried.

"ALL YOU DID WAS SHIT!"

His father looked at him and sighed. "Your aunt was dying. Your other aunt sold her house and left with the money she took from that house."

"Your uncles didn't want to help because they didn't care. I did. She was like a mother I didn't have Shouyou. I wanted to help her. I couldn't just leave her. I wanted her here but I couldn't bring her because couldn't leave the hospital."He explained.

"After she passed away, your aunt came back saying she lost her money in a gamble and I had to pay it off for her because there was no choice. No one let me off the hook. I couldn't let you guys stay here and go through that. I just wanted you all to be okay. Nothing more."He said slowly walking to his bed.

"Trust me, I would've stayed if your aunt never messed things up. I just didn't want myself to come back. The people after her were going to kill her and I didn't want them to hurt you all for what she had done."He said then pat his head as Shouyou flinched.

"I wanted to protect you all."

"You're not lying?"He asked and his father shook his head.

Shouyou hugged his father crying. His father pats his back softly and then kissed the top of his head. He felt bad for what he had done and said. Even though it doesn't give him the right to just leave without telling. He had no choice.

"I'm sorry,"Shouyou said to him.

"I'm so sorry."He smiled and held his son tight.

"It's okay. I'm not mad. I get you were mad. Don't apologize."He told him.

His father was glad. He was glad he was speaking to him. He was able to hug his son and hold him. He's able to speak with him again after so long. His son is letting him in.

"Now stop crying. You need to eat."He said and Shouyou nodded.

Eventually, he let go and wiped his tears. His father grabbed the tray and put it on the bed. He held the spoon and his left hand under the spoon. He fed his son smiling. He looked at Shouyou with the love he wished he gave to him.

He felt so bad for his son even though he didn't mean it. He wished there was a different way to end the issue without leaving his own family.

Now he's okay even though Shouyou cried. It hurt him as much as him ignoring him, yelling, and talking back to him. It hurt him a lot but he agreed that Shouyou should do that. That Shouyou has the right to do it.

Shouyou felt back and felt hurt as much as his father. He felt bad for his father. He was alone. His father had to deal with everything alone. His aunt hurt his father and made him this way. He never knew his nicer aunt passed away. He never knew his mean aunt his mother explained was even worse than she explained.

How could his father have been through and feel? He was the one that cried. What about his father? How does his father feel after so long? After what happened to him?

He must've been in so much pain. He must've been tired. Shouyou wish he never said anything and wanted to take back what he had said. He hated himself for what he did but now realized. He's glad his father is alive, he's well and talking to him. He understood him and never yelled at him.

"What are you thinking about Shouyou?"His father asked.

Shouyou shook his head. "I am thinking about you."

"About me?"

"Yeah, how did you feel going through that."He said and his father sighed.

"Tiring."He chuckled as Shouyou stared at him confused.

"But it was okay. It was hard but I was okay. I got to see my sister in her last days before she died. She really loved you kids. I was glad to let her meet you and Natsu. She always talked about you both when she saw me."He said smiling at Shouyou.

"My other sister on the other hand. Was greedy. She wanted everything and made me feel worse than my own sister's death. She was mad and never listened. Always caused problems when I went to work just to pay off her debts. It was terrible but in the end. I made it and I'm back home."He said and Shouyou nodded.

"Well, I guess I could say, welcome back?"Shouyou said and his father laughed patting his head with joy.
