"Tsukki!" I call out from the shower.

"Hmm?" Tsukki hums back halfheartedly.

"I think that's my phone. Can you go check who it is? Please?" I asks sweetly, sticking my head out of the shower to see his response.

Sigh- "Fine. But hurry up!" Tsukki jeered lightly.

I giggle to myself as I finish up my steamy shower. I hop out of the shower after a while and wrap a towel around my waist. I waddle into the room, where I find Tsukki scowling at my phone. I shuffle behind him and snake my arms around his waist. I shift on my tippy toes to peer at what he's glaring at.

"Ya know...if you keep glaring like that, you're face will get stuck." I quip endearingly.

"Yeah..." Tsukki mutters back clearly not paying attention.

"Tsukki...? What's wrong?" I press, suddenly very concerned.

I focus on my phone and realize what it was Tsukki was glaring at. It was a missed called from...

Dad.

"What the actual fuck. How...how did..." I stumble over my words in complete shock...?

"I don't know. Maybe they heard about you being back, but even then they shouldn't know your new phone number." Tsukki responds in a serious tone.

I go over everything I've done, everywhere I've gone, and everyone I've interacted with since being back. There has to be an explanation. Without realizing, I start to chew at my lip and reach up to my hair to find a strand to tug. I feel myself begin to spiral anxiously.

I end up slumping onto the bed, allowing my thoughts to run wild. I don't even hear Tsukki calling out my name or feel him shaking me by my shoulders. I slowly start to regain awareness as Tsukki cups my face and tilts my head in his direction. Our eyes clash—mine blurry from forming tears and his sharp with apprehension.

"...Yams...Yams....TADASHI!" Tsukki yells, snapping me out of my panicked daze.

"...ah...s..sorry..." I apologize subconsciously, feeling the tears flow freely.

Without skipping a beat, Tsukki engulfs me in a firm hug. I sink into the embrace, resting my head into his shoulder. Tsukki whispers sweet nothings into my ear, whilst caressing the back of my head gingerly. I sniffle as he plants a soft kiss on the top of my head.
