"Am I late?"

Tooru opened the door to reveal dr. Oikawa's flushed face.

"You made it!" He enveloped her into a bear hug. Her frame being so small compared to his 6 feet self. He ushered her in and shut the door behind her. She hung her coat on the hanger, following her son to the living room.

"Hajime!"

"Oikawa-san!"

Tooru saw a huge smile on hajime's face as he came to greet her.

"How've you been, my love?"

While she exchanged pleasanteries with Hajime and other guests, Tooru's face was fixed on Hotaru"s who was staring at him with equal intensity.

The air thickened when dr.Oikawa spotted Hotaru, "you've got to be shitting me." She charged towards Hotaru as the unhinged gang cheered. Uki burst out laughing at Hotaru's scandalised expression.

Tooru held her back, "mother!"

'I WILL KILL HIM!"

Then Tobio hopped out of Hana's lap and stood in front of Hotaru. He shook his head. Uki laughed harder, now at dr. Oikawas face.

"Tobio! You do not want to be on his side—

"Enough!," Hajime gulped.

They all stared.

Tooru knew how he felt from across the room. Hajime who had always been so brave. Hajime who loved so openly. Hajime who was decieved by the people he trusted the most.

Hajime who lost his mother.

Hajime who loved his father still.

Hajime who thought Oikawa hung the moon.

Hajime who was staring at him, waiting for some reassurance.

Tooru smiled at him.

Some reassurance and a ton of courage.

"I've had enough of everyone fighting eacother all the time. I've made peace with him. Atleast enough to be able to exist in the same room as him. I know that might not sit right with everyone but hes MY father and . . . and I cant live apart from him. A-And hes good now, I think, I know that might sound stupid but I know he has changed and I'll take the risk of giving him a second chance!"

Glances were shared. Uki chuckled, "Isn't he so cute?" He cooed at Hajime.

Hajime swallowed again.

Oikawa looked at him, barely able to control his pride. Hajime had came so far. Proud was an understatement. Hajime voicing his wishes was new to him, espaciallly in front of everyone.

His mom stared at him, stunnned, and then at Hotaru who was equally as shocked and then she gave Hajime a timid smile.

"Yes, my love. Anything you say." His mother wrapped Hajime in a hug with unsure eyes but she knew disagreeing would drive Hajime away from her, "I will always respect your wishes. Even if i disagree."

Hajime inched back. He blinked, "you disagree?"

Dr. Oikawa stammered a little, "she was my-- we-- her and I--

Oikawa blinked.

"What?"

"Tooru," his name came out broken out of his mother's mouth.

"Okay, I think we should leave," Akashi cleared his throat.

"No," Tooru said, "no one's leaving. Stay here everyone. Mom?"
