Child AU (they are 10 btw)
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Little Tsukasa AU:
I always hated being alone. No matter what I was so clingy to everyone. And since Saki got sent to the hospital, I've been alone. And it's scary.
I ended up running away. Now I'm in the woods, alone again...
I sat behind a tree and let my weeps out. No one could hear me. At least I thought.
"Hello?" I heard a voice say.
"H-Huh!?" I looked over to see a purple-haired boy looking back at me.
"O-Oh... H-Hi..." I whimpered.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm scared..." I whispered.
"Why?" The boy asked in curiosity.
"I'm all alone..." I cried.
"No! You have me!" He said happily.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Rui Kamishiro." He replied.
"I'm Tsukasa Tenma..." I said shyly.
"Well, Tenma-Kun, why don't I bring you to my house?" He let his hand out.
"O-Okay..." I grabbed his hand and walked with him through the woods to a small backyard with perfectly green grass.
"Here we are!" He says opening the sliding door for me.
"Hey, Mom!" Rui waved to his mother.
"Hey, sweetie. Oh, who is this?" She looked over from the stove.
"Oh, this is Tsukasa-Kun! He was crying in the woods so I thought I would bring him here for a little while." He said, still holding my hand.
"Okay..." She said. I think she was weirded out.
Rui drags me by my hand and runs up to his room with me.
"WOAH!" I gasp at his room. Rocket ships, trains, robots, everything I've ever wanted.
"SO COOL!" I smiled and walked around.
"Make yourself at home, you're my guest." He pats my back and lets me explore.
"Okay!" I ran around and checked everything out. It looked like he liked inventing.
"Hey, wanna play with my trains?" He pointed to an 1800's themed train set.
"Heck yeah!" I ran over to him excitingly and we started playing.
He taught me how it worked, told me about the stories of the trains, and we played with them a bit.
"Do you guys have water? I'm a bit thirsty." I rubbed my throat.
"Mhm, I'll be right back. You can keep playing." He jumped up and ran out of the room down the stairs.
Little Rui's POV:
I went downstairs and heard very loud talking. Not yelling though.
"Sweetie, that Tsukasa kid is the missing kid! The pictures match!" My father was speaking.
"I know, but you know Rui hasn't been this happy in a while! This is good for him!" Now it was my mother.
"But this boy has a home he needs to return to!"
They... Want to take Tsukasa-Kun away...?
N-No...
They can't...
