His addiction

back home

m/n POV

'here we are again' I thought as I walk thought the exit with my mom.. it had been some time since I was home duo the job of my mom we couldnt visit for the last 10 years. „its just like it was as we left, dont you think so m/n?" mom asked while we were walking to dads car „yeah its been so long" she nodded with an apologizing look in her eyes „mom its not your fault, okay? Your boss was an asshole anyway" I looked at her as she teared up „..mom.."

‚it has been about 10 years now since we left Japan and moved to America. Mom got a job there and dad said it was okay if she would take it even though it would mean we would have to leave, so she did and me and mom moved there. I wanted to go with her as we always had been close and I didnt want to loose her. So over the past 10 years it came to view it had been a bad decision to accept the job because her new boss was a Stalker and tried to rape her that day she broke down in front of me. She was feeling disgusted and so bad that her mental health had been going downhill and she needed a lot time to recover. My dad knew and he stayed with her but never came to visit with Atsumu and Osamu because all of them were busy, it was either because dad couldnt take off work or the idiots of my brothers had a stupid Volleyball match, so she hadnt seen my dad in all this years. I honestly dont get that sport, well any sport at all. Yes I go run and have a quite healthy lifestyle but never really intended in any sport, I once tried swimming but it wasnt mine so I quit. I am a bookworm and spent a lot of time in libraries or in cafés. Thats how I got my job before we moved back, I worked in a coffeeshop that was a library as well, my manager was a close friend of mine, well she grew attached to me because I always was at her café so she offered me a job once. I didnt have a lot of friends so I always appreciated her kindness.'

„m/n were there" my mom said as we arrived in front of our door. ‚It is the same house as always.' I looked up from my book and looked at her „mom you're shaking itll be fine, he wont judge you nor will the idiots, okay? You are the love of dads life and that wont change just because of your former boss." I said as I took her shaking hands in mine. „yeah.. you are right, as always.." she looked at me „my little prince? Promise me something.." ‚she never uses this name again, it has to be something important.' She had this weird look in her eyes but I could never say no to her „what is it, mom?" I carefully asked „try and find your childhood friend again. You remember him, right? If you dont.. his name was Rintarou, try and find him again, I beg you" „I remember him, mom." ‚How could I forget..' I looked at her shocked „mom you know I cant.." I looked down at the page I was reading last „Hey, my little prince, look at me.. he tried to reach out for you often. I know you still love him.. you never stopped. You keep reading love stories, darling.. you could never forget him." She was right but I didnt want to tell her. ,Yes I love him, I always did' „Suna Rintarou, if you meet him.. tell him I said hi" she still looked at me as my tears were falling on my book. That book used to be the one from the café but my manager gave it to me telling to keep it

„You always read that book m/n.. its your favorite, right" Nova looked at me as I put the book away „yea.. I love the story.." I looked at her then „keep it.. youre moving back to Japan and I dont want you to forget your amazing manager and friend" she teared up „I cant, its your book" „please keep it.. as a goodbye gift" she looks me in the eyes and gave me the book again. I just looked at her and hugged her tightly „thank you Nova"

„Okay mom.." I looked back up at her „now lets go inside I bet theyre waiting for us"

„Welcome back home, my love" dad said as he hugged my mom. „welcome back m/n, you grew a lot.. he does look like you, darling." He greeted me and looked back at mom, who still was in his arms burying her face in his chest. „you wont believe it m/n but somehow your brothers dont look like you, not a single bit and youre personality doesnt fit from what your mother told me." I tilted my head to the side. „I dont?" I asked in surprise ‚arent triples supposed to look all the same, guess not at all.' „Oh did I tell you? They kept in touch with your friend suna, do you remember him?" my breath hitched ‚no god please dont' mom turned around to look at my shocked and pained expression „I think he had a lot going on today.. is his room still the same?" she helped me out of the situation „yes it is, you can go sleep a bit if youd like m/n" dad answered and I took my leave.

‚no god these stupid idiots didnt really kept contact with rin, right? I cant do this, I cannot face him.' „DAD WERE HOME" I heard the annoying voice of Atsumu ‚it got deeper, he doesnt sound like the little boy he was anymor' I thought „DAD CAN SUNA STAY FOR DINNER?" Osamu asked from right in front of my door, well it sounded like that. A chill went down my spine „YEA SURE I DONT SEE ANY PROBLEM" dad answered ‚fuck no I cant.. Ill just tell mom Im not hungry.' I thought and texted mom. Her only respond was that she knew why I didnt want to eat so she would bring me food upstairs later
