You're not exactly on the best terms with Satoru when your vacation comes to an end. You try to act like you're fine, but you can't stand even looking at him. Perhaps you shouldn't have asked for the reason why he left if you knew you couldn't handle the truth. Everything with Satoru was doing great until you decided to ask that question. You knew you should've left it alone, but curiosity got the best of you.

Satoru knows that he messed up, he knew so long before but now you're... Even colder towards him. He never really thought that was possible, but you've proved him wrong. Maybe it's because now that he knows that you have a son together, you should communicate more, yet, you don't talk about anything that doesn't involve Ren.

Lately that's the only topic of conversation that he can have with you without you outright ignoring him– And about work of course. Satoru can't even be mad at you for ignoring him because he knows that he fucked up badly. He thinks that maybe he shouldn't have told you the truth, but if he keeps hiding stuff then your relationship will end up nonexistent.

"Hey." He grabs your arm when you're about to walk past him without saying a word. You glare at him, your look giving him a warning to let go of you. He does just as your eyes tell him. "My mom... Invited you to dinner."

"Are you crazy? Why would I?" You don't hold back on giving him attitude, he deserves it and you know he won't do anything about it. You click your tongue, "You've lost your mind."

"She just wants to see Ren." He says, but it doesn't change your mind about anything. You don't care what she wants to do, she has to learn that she's not entitled to your child.

"I love how you forgive her so easily. I know that if I was in your situation..." You begin but you end up biting your tongue. He made the right decision. "What does she even want? She can stop by the apartment if she wants to see Ren so badly. The woman is unemployed, she has time."

"I think she wants to talk about getting a tutor for Ren." Satoru shares, and you sigh. She's brought up getting a tutor for your son and you've turned her down. Ren is going to start school soon, you just want him to enjoy the time he has left before going to school daily. He knows everything that's necessary, at least from what you've seen.

"Can you tell her to drop it?" You respond, and Satoru takes a deep breath. He doesn't really want to get in between your issues. He also doesn't see a downside to a tutor so he can't really agree with you.

"Why shouldn't Ren have a tutor? I mean, since you didn't send him to preschool then–" He says, and you have to cut him off. He's irritating you more than ever.

"Ren is fine without one, Satoru. I've made my decision. This conversation is over." You tell him, and he clenches his jaw. You walk away, and the man curses under his breath. You hear it though, and you just tell yourself that if he dares stop by, you'll slam the door in his face.

"Daddy!" You hear Ren yell. A sigh escapes your lips as you stand in the kitchen. The plan was to not let him in, but you forget that this is his mother's apartment and he obviously can get entrance easily. You shouldn't be upset, Ren is happy to see his father... But you really don't want to spend more time with Satoru.

Perhaps you should consider having split custody but the thought of not having Ren by your side at all times hurts. It's selfish, but you think you have the right to be selfish after everything. Satoru can't be the only selfish one here.

You turn off the stove and wipe your hands before walking out of the kitchen. You glare at Satoru as he picks up Ren from the floor, and he begins to talk to his son. Satoru looks at you briefly before looking away. For a man that wants your forgiveness, he sure loves to piss you off, at least that's what it seems.
