what surprised me most was his name.

asuka looked at me one evening, a smile on her face as i stared at some stupid sitcom that was playing on tv, and she said "let's name him tooru."

i looked at her, surprise all over my face. "what?"

"the baby. let's name him tooru."

"you mean—"

"yes, as in oikawa tooru."

i pulled her to me and embraced her gently, burying my face into her neck, biting my lip harshly. "thank you," i whispered, being overcome with emotion, "thank you thank you thank you."

this time, i'd be there. i'd make sure tooru didn't get hurt. i'd make sure to not let anything like that happen to him.
