Moving On

It had been 2 years now and things were finally looking up in Katsuki's life. He was finishing up nursing school and had a good relationship going on.

Life was seeming simpler. No crying in the morning, no wishing that it would've been him instead of Eijiro, no more pain.

Days were still hard sometimes...he doesn't think there will ever be a time in his life where it won't hurt to think about. It was a tragic time in his past...but that's what it was, in his past.

Things between Kahana and Katsuki were...mutual you could say. They had no interest in each other besides the children. If it weren't for the kids, they probably would have zero contact.

Katsuki didn't really have a good view on Kahana's character anymore after the whole trying to take his kids thing, plus a couple of more little bullshit mishaps of them bumping heads over the course of the last 2 years.

Katsuki tried giving Kahana a chance by telling himself that it was just grief but hell, he was grieving once too and he wasn't going around being shitty to his family and friends. Though deep down he understood the pain she was enduring as a parent—to still be alive and breathing on this earth while her son is forever resting in a graveyard, had to fucking hurt.

Kahana on the other hand didn't really feel the need to amend things with Katsuki nor have a A-OK relationship with him since technically he wasn't even her son in law anymore.

There was really no need for them to have the best relationship in the world, as long as they remained mutual for the kids everything was fine. Katsuki would drop the kids off when he needed a break and Kahana was happy to take them off of his hands for a little while, though soon it got to the point where Katsuki couldn't really trust her to do that anymore without supervision.

Katsuki's therapist told him that Kahana's grief was just a late bloomer, when he mentioned the situation to her once in a session. In the beginning you could tell that Kahana was doing far better than Katsuki, sure she was still sad but she also wasn't downright miserable like Katsuki; but now it was as if they'd switched places. Kahana was a wreck, drinking away the pain whenever she could, retired(more like got fired) from being a veterinarian, and she's currently getting a divorce between her and Hiro.

Katsuki didn't know the full details about the current divorce since Kahana refused to talk about it, only calling Hiro an asshole every time Katsuki attempted to bring it up. All he knew was from the information he'd gathered from Hiro; Kahana just wasn't herself anymore and she wasn't the person Hiro fell in love with.

When he slept beside her it was like sharing a bed with a stranger. Hiro admitted to Katsuki that the main thing that caused him to want a divorce wasn't because of how Kahana was acting but rather because she refused to seek help; she'd completely given up on everything she loved and that included him.

Hiro still had his separate visits with the kids as Katsuki still saw Hiro as the children's grandfather, and unlike Kahana he didn't have to have supervised visits, which somewhat pissed Kahana off but she never brought it up.

But off of the crazy ex-mother in law—things with Katsuki and Daisuke were going steady. They hadn't made anything serious just yet, like introducing one another to each other's parents and friends or going public. They were more so casually dating, though Katsuki made it very clear that they weren't going to be seeing other people.
