" He sat there, trapped in a mesh,
Spun by he who once claimed to
love him
Each thread, reminiscing a forlorn
memory,
Where his happiest smiles were still
glued. "__________________❂__________________
[Flashback]
~Ten years ago~
[Third Person POV]
Shouyo was holding onto his mother's hand, various thoughts racing in his tiny head, thoughts that are too cruel for a child of his age to even ponder.
"Mommy , am I going to die?" he questioned with his head down,
"Shou-chan... you'll be just fine-"
"My my It's Kyoko-san", a woman spoke from behind them.
"Good to see you Ren-san", Shouyo's mother replied seemingly elated.
The two got to chatting whilst the young boy was becoming restless."Mommy I'm going to play at the park" he pointed at a nearby playground. Truthfully, he wanted to cry, wanted to run away and scream his heart out.
"Shou-chan , what if you get lost?" his mom expressed worriedly.
Shouyo perked his chest up, a big smile on face.
"Don't worry Mommy I'm a big boy now"
Shouyo's mom smiled back at him and asked him to be back soon and not go out of sight. The kid then skipped his way to the park to keep his mother's worries at bay. How depressing for a toddler to have to be so thoughtful. Childhood innocence was a luxury that he couldn't afford afterall, not with his destiny.[Atsumu's POV]
"GIVE MY TOY BACK!!!" I yelled with a pout.
"Come get it yourself," Osamu said , sticking his tongue out knowing that it would provoke me.I started to tear up and ran to my mom. She would obviously defend me, right?
"Momma , Osamu won't give me my toy back", I whined, "Shhh Atsumu , the adults are having a conversation , go back to playing and stop making such a ruckus. "
Eh? She's not gonna scold Osamu? Even though he did a bad thing? This is so unfair..!
I broke out into tears and ran out of the house.
I kept running with my tears blurring my vision.
After a while, I stopped and wiped my tears away.
I looked around and failed to recognise my surroundings."Momma...? Osamu..? Where are you guys..?" I muttered walking forward , hands clenched to my chest.
I panicked. I searched around for anything that would look familiar and lead me back. That's when I spotted a brightly-coloured boy. His hair colour distracted me for a second and I paused all movements.
I don't know when I started walking towards him."Are you okay? Why are you crying?" he said with concern laced in his voice, tilting his head to the side.
I stood still as he begins to walk closer to me.
"Do you want to play together?" he invited with a smile,
I slowly nodded my head, still sniffling.
He grabbed my hand and led me to a park.
"I was playing here alone and I heard your voice" the smaller boy giggled, "Now I have a friend to play with!", he smiled brightly."So sparkly...." I whispered ,
"Hmm? What did you say?" he glanced at me with wide eyes.
"A-ah..i-it's nothing...I thought you were just like the sparkly cartoons that my cousin watches...u-uhh the ones where they c-can transform and stuff..!" I barely managed to stutter out. My face felt so hot. I bet I was all red. How embarassing...!!Coming out of the forest of my little thoughts, I noticed how Shouyo seemed to be trembling. I wondered why so I looked at where he was staring. It was.... a cat.
"Are you scared of cats?"
"...yes..." he trailed off. It was obvious he was holding back tears.
A boastful smile made it's way to my face as I put my hands on either sides of my hips.
I stood proudly and declared with all the might an elementary schooler could have
"Don't worry , I'm not afraid of cats at all! I'll protect you!"He stared at me before returning a huge smile as well ,
"So cool..! " he grinned, "by the way.. what's your name?"
"I'm Miya Atsumu and you?" I asked
"I'm Hinata Shouyo , nice to meet you Miya-kun!"Several minutes had gone by while we were playing in the park ,the sky had already begun to darken. Hinata told me today's his birthday and how fun his birthday party at the daycare was , he also told me how his mom took him to the doctor's afterwards , when I asked why he wouldn't give me a straight answer so I didn't ask any further. But damn was I curious.
"Miya-kun , where do you live?" Hinata suddenly asked.
"I-I don't know" I murmured softly
"You don't know?" Hinata replied , head tilted.
"My twin brother took my toy and I got angry and asked my momma for help... but she said she was too busy...I got angry and ran away...""I can help you get back!" Hinata grinned with confidence.
"How?"
"If you know your parents' number , then my mom can call them to pick you up!"
"Wow!! You're so smart Shouyo!! ""Then.. where's your mom?" I asked,
"Oh she's right there", He pointed to a lady with brown hair talking with another lady.
The lady noticed us and waved ,
"Shouyo, it's time to go home" she said with a gentle tone.
Hinata ran up to her and whispered in her ears before facing me with a grin."Oh..so that's how it is , Atsumu-kun, was it? Follow us home dear , we'll call your parents using the landline at home"
Wow...! Both of them are so sparkly..!
I nodded excitely and followed them, hand-in-hand with Shouyo.
When we reached their house , his mom told us to go to Hinata's room to wait as she calls my parents.Half an hour later, my parents along with Osamu came to the house to pick me up. My parents repeatedly apologised for the trouble while Shouyo's mom kept telling them it was no trouble.
We ended up staying for dinner and all befriended each other.
