My Son (young Takami Keigo + m!reader)

12

I've decided Keigo will be a child for a little bit longer before we get to his angsty teenager phase

"Hold still buddy, Daddy needs to take a picture of you!"

Keigo smiled brightly towards the camera as you prepared to take the photo.

You decided that it'd be good for Keigo to see where his food came from, so you took him to a farm! He was amazed at everything he saw, and just looked too adorable in the little overalls you'd boughten him!

You quickly snapped the photo and stashed away your camera, holding onto your son's hand as you continued further in the farm.

"Hey dad, what's that?"
"Dad! What's that green thing?"
"I wanna see a golden apple!"

You heard many of those sorts of inquiries from your five year old son as you walked about the farm, and although it was very cute, it got old fast.

You needed to find something to do, quickly!

Thankfully, the owners of the farm had an activity set up for parents to do with their kids.

"Hey Keigo, ever wanted to pull a radish out of the ground?"

Your little boy gasped in excitement,
"No, but now I do!"

You chuckled at his reaction, walking him over to a sizable seeming plant.

It had bright green stems and large leaves, and the white top of the radish was peeking through the topsoil.

"Okay Keigo, hold onto the stem and pull as hard as you can!"

He eagerly grabbed onto the stems, taking a deep breath before pulling as hard as his little arms could allow.

You watched him struggle for a while, stifling your laughter.

After a while, he looked at you,
"Help me please!"

You went behind your son, kneeling down behind him before grabbing onto the stems as well, and with one forceful tug the radish popped out of the ground.

"I did it!"

You decided not to correct him.

"Wow Keigo, you're really strong!"

At your praise he flexed his arms with a proud smile.

You picked up the radish by the leaves and held it next to your son,
"This thing's almost as big as you, bud,"

He looked at the tall radish with awe,
"It's a super radish!"

Then he looked to you with begging eyes,
"Can we take it home? Please? I wanna eat it and become super too!"

You ruffled his hair,
"Sure thing bud. But are you sure you like radishes?"

He shook his head,
"Nuh-uh, but I want this one's powers!"

You chuckled at your son's dreams and proceeded to purchase the radish.

"Here you go Keigo! Stew with that super radish you pulled out earlier,"

Your son cringed as he saw his dinner in front of him.

If he was any other child, you might've been annoyed, but you knew that in his past, he never had the options to choose what to eat. The fact that he could openly show his discomfort meant that he was getting used to his new life.

"Dad, do I have to eat this?"

You scooted his bowl a bit closer to him,
"You're the one who wanted to be super strong, right?"

You watched him think it over for a moment.

He closed his eyes tightly before bringing the spoon to his mouth, quickly chewing and swallowing his food.

"It's yummy!"
He said in surprise.

He then examined his arms,
"I don't look stronger yet..."

"But how do you feel?"

"...hungry,"

He then proceeded to eat the rest of his meal, though slightly disheartened at the discovery that the radish wasn't magical.

~•~

While you tucked your son into bed, you decided to question him.

"Keigo, why did you want to become so strong all of a sudden?"

The little blonde boy rubbed his eyes before yawning,
"When I grow up, I wanna be strong to protect dad!"

You couldn't help but smile at his words, pressing a kiss onto his forehead.

"Goodnight Keigo, I love you,"

He smiled as he let his eyes close,
"I love you too, dad,"
