It was 2AM.

Harumi had just been evicted from her apartment, on the spot! How could someone do that to a young adult woman with a three month old baby?
Lloyd would take it to court for not giving her notice, but apparently the landlord warned her two days before that if her son didn't stop crying, she'd be kicked out.

What'd he expect her to do? Shove an apple in Kyle's tiny mouth? No one can just STOP a baby crying. She did the best she could, taking him on walks, rocking him, offering him milk, nothing worked. Nothing.

"I'm so sorry about this, Lloyd." Harumi said as she was putting the baby seat in place of one of the seats in the back. "I promise as soon as I can figure something out, I'll be out of your hair." she said before tucking Kyle in with his little blankie.
"Rumi, don't worry about that. You're my best friend, I'd rather know that you and Little K are under a safe roof." the 20-year-old blonde reassured. He noticed Harumi had goosebumps, poor woman was busy packing everything that she could in the small hour the landlord gave, that she forgot to put on a coat. She was too focused on getting everything Kyle needed, she could live without certain luxuries.
This time in his life was one of the most important for growth.

"Heh, you haven't heard him scream that much," Harumi said as she turned to the green-eyed male, "once or twice I believe." Lloyd flushed in his cheeks. "Well, I didn't want to make you feel like I was barging in, or taking your focus away from Little K." he stated, causing Harumi to shake her head and giggle. Lloyd took off his jacket, having thrown on what he could before running to his car. He wrapped one side of the jacket around Harumi, then the other. "Let's get you two into some real warmth and not just my car." Lloyd joked, causing Harumi to smile a little. She nodded, getting in the car. Lloyd, being the gentleman he is, closed it for her. He walked around to the driver's side and hopped in.
He warmed up the engine and set off at a steady pace down the road, it was only about ten to fifteen minutes.

"Lloyd?"

"Yes Rumi?"

"Can we have the radio on, please? Music helps him settle easier.. But if it bothers you it doesn't matter."

"Nah, I like music while I drive." Lloyd claimed, turning on the radio while they were at a red light. He had it on low, ready. "Is this good?" he asked, placing both hands back on the wheel. "Yes, thank you." Harumi said, gratefully.

🐉💜🐉💜🐉💜

It was 3AM by the time the duo got everything moved inside the house, though in honesty Lloyd did most of the moving and Harumi most of the organising. She felt guilty, still, but Lloyd reassured her that he didn't mind.

Now, they had all the necessities that Kyle would need up in Lloyd's bedroom, he didn't have a massive house just because he never had anyone over. He'd visit Kai and Nya or his parents, so he didn't need a spare room.
Kyle was laid in his moses basket, snoozing. It'd been a chaotic night and he was tired, he didn't need to cry himself to sleep for once. Now Lloyd and Harumi just needed to discuss sleeping.

"I can sleep on the couch in the corner if that'd-"

"No Lloyd, I'm not going to kick you out of your own bed.. I'll sleep on the couch."

"Are you kidding? Rumi you've had eyebags and aches for the past two weeks straight. You need a comfy bed, sleep while you can."

"No."

"What do you mean no?"

"No."

Lloyd sighed, she always were stubborn. Usually for the right reasons, though. Her morals stopped her from taking advtamhe of his kindness, which he sometimes hated and sometimes liked.

"Fine, then. If you're comfortable about it, we'll share the bed. It is big enough."

"If I'm comfortable?" Harumi giggled, trying to keep them in. "Lloyd, you were by my side the entire time while I was giving birth. There's no one else I'd be more comfortable with." Lloyd smiled, folding his arms. "Harumi Jade, a softie at heart." he said teasingly, seeing her scrunch up her nose.

"I'll go grab your clothes bag, be back in a sec'!" Lloyd claimed quietly, leaving the room and going down the large stairs. Harumi had opened her mouth to protest but he'd already gone, she couldn't help it, she covered her mouth and quietly squealed. She walked over to Kyle's basket, leaning over to admire him. They looked alike, the only major difference was his nose, she had a slimmer bridge than he did. Their skin was the same, their eyes, it seemed that he was beginning to grow her white hair, his head shape was the same. He was almost a mini Harumi!

"We're lucky to have him sweetheart." she whispers to her sleeping son. "I know things are tough right now.. But I promise that they'll get better."
Harumi looked over to the side, seeing a photo of their entire friend group in highschool on the desk. She could practically hear their laughters and playful bangers just by the visual memory.

She sighs, whispering quietly "Why can't I have made the mistake of making him your father.. He'd have done a much better job."
