What a great surprise! Nothing feels better than entering your "safe haven" only to be greeted by two families with obvious fued between them in the middle of an intervention. Kenma shuffled uncomfortably, looking down at his knees, feeling all eyes on him after he awkwardly sat down next to his mother. He certainly was not comfortable with that much attention, he'd much rather blend into the background. The atmosphere of the room was heavy, tense, and cold. Everyone in the room had either a worried, confused, or an angry expression. Kenma was a combination of all. But he hid his feelings well behind his poker face. He shot Kuroo a look like "What?!" and Kuroo furrowed his brows... and within those droopy eyes of his, Kenma knew Kuroo was upset. Something must've happened after they parted at school.
Kenma's mother's right hand went to hold Kenma's left. She looked at Kenma with stern eyes and nodded in reassurance, and that everything is going to be okay. Kenma half-believed it. Sure he wanted things to be better right away, but he knew that because this is reality, that's not how things worked. In a video game, you can die and respawn until you get it right and pass to the next level. But that's not how life works. He knew that if he died, figuritively, he wouldn't be able to redo it and get it right. He had to get it right the first time. But because it's reality, that's not very likely either.
"Kenma-san." Kuroo's mother began, she startled them by breaking the silence.
"I'm sure you know why I'm here." She folds her arms.
Kenma's mother shook her head and squeezed at Kenma's hand, "No, I honestly do not know what business you have with us."
Kuroo's mother grew paler and her eyes got angrier.
"I'm here to tell you that we both have terrible luck!" she gestured, pointing at herself and at Kenma's mother.
"Why would you say that?" Kenma's mother was confused yet again.
"Because we both have gay sons!" Kuroo's mother threw her arms.There was a silence. But it didn't feel quiet. It was the calm before a storm. Kenma felt his hand being squeezd even harder. His heart was beating and he felt a pang in his heart. That was his heart breaking. He knew Kuroo had warned him about Kuroo-san being crazy, but to see it in person was a whole new story. He could literally feel the burning flames of Kuroo's mother, thrashing out of her body and burning him as she stood there.
"What does being gay have to do with luck?!" Kenma's mother threw back as she stood up from the couch, releasing Kenma's hand. Kenma could see the flames coming out of her as well. "If it's LUCK we're talking about, I feel very LUCKY to have a good son like mine!" Both dads looked at this scenery with wide eyes, scared to butt in and be burned by their wive's rage, so they just sat in silence, and of course, nodding occasionally to back up their wive's argument.
"Good son?!" Kuroo's mother scoffed.
"Your son and my son, have sinned. They have betrayed God. They are consciously rejecting God. Homosexuality is a sin by His order!" at this point Kuroo's mother is all up in Kenma's mother's face.
"Homosexuality is unnatural, it is an abomination, a vile-"
Slap.
Kenma's mother had just slapped Kuroo's mother. Kenma was about to faint. Oh."How dare you!" Kuroo's mother gasped, holding the side of her face that was starting to turn pink and reveal a hand print.
"You don't believe that our sons are sinning?!?" Kuroo's mother screamed.
"THEY'RE NOT SINNING YOU IGNORANT BITCH!" Kenma's mother screamed back.
"Then explain this!!!" Kuroo's mother ran to where Kenma was sitting pushed at Kenma's head to reveal his neck. The foundation he put on earlier was starting to fade a little. But not enough to prove her point."You unhand my son!" Kenma's mother tried pushing at Kuroo's mother. But she held onto Kenma's hair.
"Look!" Kuroo's mother yelled. She starts rubbing at Kenma's neck. "Ow!" Kenma felt like an object, being pushed around, shoved around. But he had feelings, he couldn't believe how insane Kuroo's mother was acting. He felt tears burning in his vision and they became so heavy he couldn't blink them away, they just kept running down the side of his cheeks.
