❝Our sons a fighter.❞

~3rd point of view.

        Y/N slept beside Skyler in her bed, gently holding her to his chest as they slept. As the night wore on, Skyler had a nightmare about her and Y/N dying, and Y/N had to comfort her, his soothing words and gentle touch calming her down as she drifted back to sleep.

When the morning came around, Y/N woke Skyler up gently for school. "Good morning, angel," he said softly, planting a kiss on her forehead.

"WAHHHHH!! I don't wanna go to school today!" Skyler whined, squirming in her bed.

"Come onnn, didn't you make new friends?" Y/N laughed, ruffling her hair.

"MMH yeah- I made three more friends," Skyler said, her voice still sleepy and pouty.

"Oh yeah? Tell me about them," Y/N said as he got up from Skyler's bed and headed over to her dresser to pick out an outfit for her.

"Okay!" Skyler replied, making her way to the bathroom to brush her teeth, which was only a few feet away from her bedroom, making it easy for them to still hear each other. In between brushes of her teeth, she called out, "I made friends with a girl named Sora! She's super smart and good at tech. I also made friends with a boy named Arin, and he loves the Ninja, just like me! And also an girl named Wyldfyre. Sometimes she throws chairs and barks at people, but it's funny."

Y/N chuckled to himself as he placed Skyler's clothes on her bed. "Okay, that isn't concerning at all."

He decided it was time for him to get ready in his own room. "You go get dressed. I'mma go get ready in my room."

"Okay!" Skyler shouted back, her excitement palpable.

Y/N let out an audible sigh of relief as he gently guided his hand over the dresser. He then pulled open a drawer and took out a pair of baggy dress pants, a white button-down polo, and a bottle of cologne. Donning these items of clothing, Y/N sprayed himself with the cologne before making his way to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Y/N brushed his teeth and meticulously combed his hair into place. He knew that with just a couple more visits to his job, the ninja he had been working diligently to heal would soon be free. The thought filled him with happiness.

Leaving his bedroom, Y/N was met with an enthusiastic embrace from Skyler, who tackled him in a tight hug. Lifting her gently off the ground, he spun her around, planting a kiss on her cheek before scooping her into his arms.

"Come on, let's get you to school, sweetheart," he said, carrying her out of the house and towards the car.

After dropping Skyler off at school, Y/N made his way to his job. He parked his car and, for a moment, found himself staring at the security guards stationed in front of him. Misako, his flirtatious coworker, was absent today, thankfully engaged in repairing her mother-son relationship with Lloyd.

The guards approached Y/N, and with a nod of acknowledgment, they led him into his place of work. The sense of routine and the familiar environment began to settle his nerves, preparing him for the tasks ahead.
