Who Is this Guy?

'Hm? What's this?' As your body shifts, you felt this small warmth covering the front of your body, while behind you felt cold and hard. Trying to open your heavy eyelids, you lift your head and look down at your person. 'A blanket?' You were confused. Trying to travel back to previous event's until it hit you, what had happened last night; why you were like this. When you looked to your right, you found your son snuggled up next to you, shivering. His arms wrapped around his body and only in his pajamas to keep him warm. "Yujiro!" You exclaimed in reflex to seeing him, but he didn't wake up. He was sort of a heavy sleeper. Then it finally clicked. '...You're my only light through this pitch black nightmare.' Yujiro had brought you his blanket so you wouldn't catch a cold. You grabbed the small boy in your arms and brought him closer to your body. You wanted to stay like this for a while longer but not wanting to risk catching a cold for real, you mustered up all the little strength you had at the moment and picked up both Yujiro and yourself and took the both of you upstairs. You placed his small body in your bed and tucked him in. While in his sleep he pulled the sheet over him more and snuggled down in comfort.

"You have to leave for school in 3 hours. Before then should be enough time to catch a nice rest." You patted his head while he slept soundly. With a sigh, you looked over to your dresser where you phone was placed. You walked over towards the dresser and picked up your phone to dial someone. After a few seconds of ringing, the person picked up.

"Hello? (f/n)?"

"Koushi, I don't think I'll be able to come to work today."

"What? Why not?" He sounded concerned.

"I just don't have the energy. But, will you please come by to pick up Yujiro?"

"But-"

"Please Koushi." You cut him off while biting your lip and griping onto the edge of the dresser. "I promise I'll be back in for tomorrow." You turned around to come face to face with the tall mirror again. A blank expression took over your features as your eyes roamed your body for the 3, red and new bruises that were distributed on your fair skin."...Just not today."

He took a pause and a sigh before answering you. "Alright, I'll come get him."

"Thank you." Then you hung up on him. You looked over to Yujiro again and faintly smiled. "Don't worry, I'll always protect you." You mumbled. Finally you went to your closet and picked yourself out some pajamas. Later on, after three hours you woke up Yujiro and served him his breakfast. "Yujiro, Suga-sensei is coming to the house to pick you up for school, since I can't."

"But why mama?" He put a pause in chewing.

"I don't have the energy for it today, but tomorrow, when I'm all charged up, we'll go to together again like usual."

"Okay." He continued chewing, and swallowed. He seemed kind of down about the idea, but understood what you were saying.

"Good boy." You ruffled his hair and went to go put your dish away in the sink. Right in the middle of him eating breakfast, the doorbell rang and you walked out to go answer it.
