My Son (young Takami Keigo + m!reader)

25

"There there Keigo, it's alright, I'm okay,"

He sobbed as you comforted him with a hug.
"You're not okay! You almost died! Do you have any idea how scared I was?!"

It was almost a total role reversal, the child scolding the parent for risky behavior.

"How could you even do something like that?!"
He questioned through his tears.

"I'm sorry Keigo, but I couldn't just let Touya die in there. He's almost like a second son to me, y'know?"

You were right, and he hated that. He hated how you'd be okay with dying if it meant saving someone, he hated how he questioned why you went to save his best friend from a horrible death.

"I just... you would've left me behind... I would've been alone again... I can't go back to that..."

You were the best thing that'd ever happened to him. Before you, he had his abusive parents, and nothing else. He couldn't go back to a life without being told he was loved. A life without hugs or kisses, a life without you holding his hand when he was sad.

"If something bad happened to me, Rei would've taken you in. Her and Enji promised me that, and I promised to take care of their kids if something happened to them too,"

He sighed while wiping his eyes free of tears.
"I know, I know that. But it still wouldn't be the same without you,"

He broke down into tears once more,
"Just don't do something like that again alright?"

His voice quaked and you pulled him into another hug, helping him let out all of the sadness that'd been building up throughout the day.

A doctor soon walked in to give you information.

"Luckily the damage wasn't too bad. You've got a concussion and some pretty bad burns on your hands. Your [dominant hand]'s likely to have some scarring, while the other will heal over,"

They continued,
"The smoke you breathed in triggered your asthma, so we've prescribed you inhalers and a spacer as well. All in all, just try not to over-exert yourself for the next week or so,"

They gave you some papers before leaving.

"Alright Keigo, could you wait outside while I get dressed? After that we should go visit Touya,"

~•~

"You knew I was in there, and you didn't do anything,"

"Touya, your mother was in shock, and she had Shoto with her, you've got to understand,"
His father tried to reason.

Touya glared at his father, something none of them would've expected to happen.
"That's a lot coming from you. You weren't even there. You were too busy with work to save your own son. You've always been too busy with work for me..."

The man didn't know how to reply. All he could do was console his distressed wife.

Suddenly you entered the room with your son, and immediately sensed the awkward tension.
