Kuroo took kenma into the bathroom, putting the boy down on the mat. The moment he was down he ran to the door and pushed it open running out, he didn't want to go to bed since he had so many new toys and he didn't get to see Kuroo all afternoon. As he ran he looked back to see if Kuroo was following him, the moment he turned his head back he bumped right into Lev. Lev looked down and hid the boys blanket behind his back "you're meant to be having a bath kenma" lev said pointing to the bathroom where Kuroo was coming out, kenma turned and whined holding onto Levs leg. Kuroo sighed and pulled kenma off of Levs leg, the small boy dug his nails in and whined louder. "Ouch ouch, stop kenma." Lev said dropping the blanket behind him to help coach Kenmas hands off of his legs, scratching Levs legs as he did. "Kenma, uh oh let's go bath now." Kuroo said picking the kicking boy up, he took him back into the bathroom and locked the door. Kenma crossed his arms over and stood on the mat, Kuroo started undressing kenma slowly. "Kenma, you need to stop hurting Lev. He doesn't like it, you gotta say sorry." Kuroo told the boy, kenma frowned and uncrossed his arms. Kenma knew it was wrong to hurt people but each time he did it he didn't mean it, that was something he just had to work on. Kuroo picked up Kenmas hand and looked at the boys nails, they were a little long going over the edge of his fingertips. Kenma lowered his hand back down, using his arms to cover himself. Kuroo was glad to see the bruising was now fading, he gently picked kenma up and put him in the bath. Kenma whined until he was settled around the bubbles, he kept his guard up as Kuroo washed him over. The warm bath was relaxing, he was starting to enjoy the bath as he let himself relax and lay his back on the tub. He slipped making his head go under, he gasped under the water before Kuroo quickly pulled him sitting the shaking boy up. He gasped for air even though he was only under for a second "Hey hey bud, it's okay." Kuroo told the boy, Kenmas chest was tight finding it hard to stop gasping with wide eyes. Kuroo frowned, he got the towel and wrapped it around kenma pulling him out the bath. Kenma couldn't settle, he held onto Kuroo tightly as his body trembled and lips started to go purple. Kuroo stood up and held the boy close rubbing his back, he went out to Lev unsure what to do. Lev took one look and stood up "what happened?" He asked coming over and putting a hand to Kenmas back. "He slipped and went under the water" Kuroo told him, Lev grabbed the boy from Kuroo keeping the towel wrapped around him tightly. Kenmas hair was dripping wet as he coughed and took more troubled breaths, Lev rubbed the boys back and sat down on the couch. "Shhh it's okay, Kuroo wouldn't let something bad happen to you." Lev said starting to rock kenma, the boys breaths slowly started to fall back into a steady rhythm as he held onto Lev tightly. Kuroo watched feeling helpless, he felt bad he didn't grab the boy quick enough to stop him slipping under the water. Lev gestured and lipped for Kuroo to bring Kenmas pajamas, Kuroo gave a small nod leaving the room. Kenmas lip was shuddering and body shivered, he was feeling very cold and wanted some warm comfy clothes. Lev wrapped the towel around kenma tighter trying to warm the child up, it was helping as kenma rested his eyes shut and snuggled into Lev. Kuroo came back with a gray sweatpants and sweater set along with boxers and fuzzy warm socks, he put them on the couch beside the two cuddling. Lev looked at the clothes and shook his head "bring the bag over" Lev told Kuroo, he sighed and bent down picking the bag up and put it on the couch beside the clothes. "Hey kenma, you wanna stay up and colour in for a bit?" Lev asked, kenma opened his eyes and looked up at Lev giving a small nod while his lip continued to shudder. Lev sat up properly "well Kenmas gotta get dressed first" Lev told kenma, he nodded wanting to put on his pajamas. "does kenma like Spider-Man?" Lev asked raising his eyebrow at kenma, the boy took a second to think about it and nodded knowing superheroes were good. Lev smiled " well look at this" Lev said pulling out the packet of drynites, Kuroo watched a couple steps away nervously. Kenma looked at the drynites observing the print on them, Lev pointed to it "see Spider-Man" Lev showed kenma, the boy was a little unsure and pointed to it as well. "Yeah, it's for kenma. Spider-Man is gonna protect you tonight, he'll keep you extra safe." Lev explained to kenma, the boy liked the idea of a super hero keeping him safe. He thought about it still pointing to the image of Spider-Man, kenma gave a small nod. Kuroo let go of his held breath, having Lev here was really helpful Kuroo thought thinking he wouldnt of been able to get the boy close to them by himself. Lev opened the packet up and grabbed out a drynites, kenma frowned and looked at it. Lev put the child down on the ground in front of him ready to dress the boy, kenma held the towel tightly and looked over to Kuroo giving a whine before gesturing for Kuroo to leave. Kenma didn't want Kuroo to see him putting it on or wearing it, he felt he needed to prove to Kuroo he was a big boy and never wanted to disappoint him. Kuroo gave a nod understanding, he was just glad kenma was accepting it. Kuroo walked out the room and leaned his back on the wall, he didn't hear any fussing hoping everything was going smoothly. Lev got the drynite and slipped it up for kenma, the boy whined a bit feeling he didn't need it since it was kind of like a diaper. " baby.." Kenma said quietly as he pouted his lip at Lev, he shook his head at the boy. "Not for baby, it's just like boxers" Lev said slipping the boxers over the drynites "see it slips up the same way" Lev said, kenma gave a small nod feeling better that it was shown similar to his normal boxers. Lev finished dressing kenma "can Kuroo come back in?" Lev asked the boy, kenma looked himself up and down feeling the drynites through his sweatpants before frowning at Lev. " Its okay, you can't see it bud, it's just like boxers remember?" Lev reassured kenma, the boy gave a small nod and got up on the couch beside Lev sitting very close. " Kuroo you can come back now" Lev informed Kuroo, Kenmas hair had finished dripping but it was still damp and needed a good brush. Kuroo turned back into the room, the bag of drynites were back on the wall and kenma was glancing around the room. Kenma fidgeted with the fuzzy socks, Kuroo gave a smile and bent down infront of kenma. " How about we brush your hair and you can colour in for a little bit?" Kuroo asked, kenma glanced up at Kuroo and nodded. Kuroo stood up and got the hairbrush and colouring book with the crayons, sitting on the couch kenms crawled into Kuroos lap with hesitation. Lev sat back and watched, he could see how much kenma looked up to Kuroo. Kenma relaxed once Kuroo started brushing his hair, his eyes felt heavy feeling his head get heavy as well almost nodding off while Kuroo made Kenmas hair tangle free. Once done kenma turned around and snuggled into Kuroos chest closing his eyes, Kuroo melted and wrapped his arms around kenma rocking the boy. The boy was far too tired to stay up now, it had been a big day and he was almost asleep. Kenma rested into Kuroo for a bit until he shot up and looked around, he couldn't see his blanket. Kuroo watched kenma intensely search the room with his eyes "what is it kiddo?" Kuroo asked trying to follow Kenmas eyes, Lev knew exactly what kenma was looking for. "Bwanky.." Kenma whispered growing worried, Lev sat up "it's in the w-a-s-h" Lev spelt out to Kuroo, kenmas frown got bigger not sure he had heard of a place called w-a-s-h. Kuroo rubbed Kenmas back "uhm.. it's having a nice bath.." Kuroo tried to explain, kenma felt himself tear up. " No no there's no bath, blankie is just at work. He had to go make sure every other little boy and girl had their blankets for bed, once done he will come back to bed while you are sleeping." Lev explained, kenma thought that was nice and nodded feeling the urge of tears go away. Kuroo sighed in relief, he wasn't as good at explaining things to kenma like Lev. He was good at finding ways to calm the boy, Kuroo didn't think he could do that for kenma just like how Lev did it for the drynites and now the blankie. Kenma yawned and nuzzled his head into Kuroos chest, kenma felt a little uncomfortable with the drynites but tried to ignore the feeling. Kuroo stood and swayed kenma softly rubbing over the small boys back, kenma yawned again and closed his eyes. Lev stood up and got kenma a milk sippy ready, he had heard that warm milk before bed helped relieve anxiety, and facilitate a more restful night's sleep which is why he found himself making kenma one each night. Lev checked the tempreture on his wrist, it felt nice and warm and not too hot. He came into the room and watched Kuroo put kenma under the blankets, the boy was almost asleep. Lev leaned in and gave the bottle to kenma, the boy took it with both hands and very slowly started to suckle it closing his eyes. Lev watched Kuroo leave the room, he couldn't resist as he slowly bent down and kissed kenma on the forehead. He didn't want Kuroo to see, he had been the one to try and push the idea of having the boy stay away and yet he felt he cared way more than he showed. Lev stood back up straight keeping his eyes on the boy, he heard Kuroo come in and glanced him. Kuroo tucked the cat plush under Kenmas arm under the blankets, the small boy felt safe and cozy snuggling into it while he drank his sippy. Kenmas arm went limp making the sippy slip out his hand, he was finally asleep making Kuroo and Lev give a look of awe. Lev carefully picked the sippy up taking it out the the kitchen, Kenmas mouth stayed suckling the air until his mouth slowly closed. Kuroo looked over his shoulder making sure he was in the clear, he bent down over the boy and kissed his forehead quickly pulling back up so Lev didn't catch him scared Lev would say kuroo was too attached already. He pulled the blanket to Kenmas chin and left the room, leaving the door slightly open. Kuroo went out to Lev, confused to see Lev handing him the car keys "what's this? Where am I going?" Kuroo asked, Lev smirked "We are doing it tonight" Lev informed Kuroo, he raised an eyebrow until he realised what they were doing. Kuroo gave an excited smile and took the keys "go get some furniture for the room, I'll empty it and clean the room up." Lev told Kuroo, he nodded and went to the door slipping his shoes on and leaving. Lev got to work cleaning the study up, removing files, rubbish and other garbage the stored in the room. Once done he laid in the middle of the room, he felt his phone vibrating lifting himself up to grab the phone out his back pocket. He saw Kuroo was trying to FaceTime him, Lev picked up and showed Kuroo the empty room. Kuroo called for some help trying to pick out what to get, they settled on a bed, mattress, a cube storage cupboard, a drawer and a small table. Kuroo got help loading it all in the car, luckily it just fit. When checking out he remembered kenma couldn't reach the tap in the bathroom, he ran and got a small plastic stool. He paid for everything and left, driving home feeling very excited. Once home Kuroo got out the car, Lev came out and helped carry in the flatpacks almost dropping them and bumping into walls a couple of times. The hard work began, they put the flatpacks together with a lot of struggle. They found themselves yelling whispers to eachother the whole time, once it was done they laid flat on the ground exhausted. They still had to decorate yet, at least that was the fun part. Lev left it to Kuroo to do, he was getting tired since he hadn't rested since coming back from work. On the way to bed he stopped by and got Kenmas freshly washed and dried blankie, he slowly crept his way into the room where kenma slept. He saw kenma was still sleeping in the same position they left him in, Lev put the blanket On top of the boys open hand making kenma grab onto it in his sleep. Lev bent down and kissed Kenmas forehead "And I thought I was the one too attached" Kuroo said smirking as he leaned on the door frame, Lev jumped and gripped his shirt over his heart. "Jeez don't do that!" Lev whispered loudly, he felt his face was warm. Kuroo chuckled and rolled his eyes, it was nice to know Lev was just as attached as he was. Kenma stirred in his sleep, snuggling deeper into his cat plush. Kenmas eyes opened staring blankly, Lev and Kuroo stayed still and quiet knowing the boy hadn't seen them yet. Soon enough the blank stare turned into crying, Kuroo was about to step in but Lev stopped him, he wanted to watch kenma try and self sooth as most 4 years olds were capable to put themselves back to sleep. Kenma kept crying, Kuroo couldnt stand it as he turned away trying not to watch kenma stir in discomfort. Kenmas cries got louder, rubbing his eyes he sat up " kuwo.." Kenma cried out, Lev put his hand down to let Kuroo assist. Kuroo pushed Levs hand out the way and sat on the bed near kenma "Hey bud, what's wrong?" He asked gently, kenma took his hands away from his face to see Kuroo which relaxed him almost instantly. "Mh.." Kenma mumbled out, Kuroo frowned at the boy " what was that champ?" Kuroo asked, kenma didn't want to use his words. The boy felt something in his hand that wasn't the sippy he went to bed with, looking down he let out a gasp and picked the blankie up holding it to his face before he laid back down closing his eyes. Kenma didn't want nothing more than his blanket, he noticed it felt freshly warm and smelt nice like lavender. He fell asleep with it pressed to his cheek, snoring very quietly with his mouth slightly open. Kuroo got up and left the room again, Lev had gone to bed. He was proud kenma soothed himself back to sleep mostly by himself, Kuroo sighed and went back to Kenmas room he was putting together. Kuroo made the bed, he put the mattress protector on followed by the space themed print bed sheet set. Once the bed was made he packed the toys on the cupboard cube shelves displaying them all, he kept the pencils and crayons on the small table with the colouring books. Next Kuroo packed Kenmas clothes away, neatly in the drawer and packed the drynites in the bottom drawer for easy access. Once done he was worn out, he dragged his feet to the couch and fell asleep feeling better kenma now had his very own room to feel more at home in. He couldnt wait to show kenma, the boy deserved his own little space to have all his items in to show the boy he belonged in the household with him and Lev. Kenma woke again in the middle of the night, he frowned and laid looking at the ceiling fan. Kenma yawned and rolled over, he felt the drynite through his pajamas and gave a soft sigh of relief. He was dry meaning he didn't have to be worried about being changed, he didn't want a wet drynite knowing Kuroo or Lev would find out every time there was one. Kenma closed his eyes and tried to sleep, he imagined getting it trouble for having a wet drynite making his bladder lock up which put him back to sleep. He didn't dream for the rest of the night, normally he had a lot of dreams involving flashbacks or fears he had. Kuroo woke the next morning and stretched up, he remembered what happened last night and smiled. Slowly Kuroo got up and checked the time, it was 7am and the house was still very quiet. Kuroo opened his door and peeked in to see kenma, the boy was asleep with a look of discomfort on his face. Kuroo didn't like seeing it, he came in and shook kenmas shoulder. "Hey kenma.. time to get up" Kuroo encouraged, kenma squeezed his eyes shut and shifted trying to aviod Kuroo shaking him awake. Kenma finally woke up, the shaking on his shoulder made his whole body move and it was very uncomfortable as his overly full bladder rocked around. Kenma put a hand to his stomach and sat up, he felt very sore in the stomach from holding it all night. Kuroo picked the boy up, he felt Kenmas drynite was dry still making him smile "all dry bud, good job" Kuroo praised, kenma frowned and hid his face into Kuroos arm. Kuroo looked down noticing kenma let out a sound of discomfort "you wanna go bathroom kenma?" Kuroo asked rubbing Kenmas back. Kenma needed to go so bad it was hurting, he gave a slight nod clinging to Kuroo tighter. " Okay, let's go bud" Kuroo said walking kenma to the bathroom, he put the boy down at the door. Once Kenmas feet were on the floor he could feel the heaviness in his bladder, going in he stood infront of the toilet looking down. Kenma frowned and felt his drynite through his pajama pants, he didn't want to be reminded of it nor did he want to see it. Kenma flushed the toilet and stood infront of the sink, he couldn't reach and was kind of glad since he didnt think he could stand the thought of running water right now. He left the bathroom and looked up to Kuroo with tired eyes, kenma put his hands up to Kuroo. He picked the boy up and took him to the kitchen to have some breakfast, sitting kenma at the breakfast bar the boy huntched forward trying to relieve the throbbing pain. Kuroo made kenma a bowl of cereal to which he pushed away unhappy, he didn't like soggy cereal. Lev came out and looked at the bowl Kuroo was trying to give kenma "he's not gonna eat that, the textures mix and he doesn't like that" Lev told Kuroo, he face palmed himself and sighed "right sorry" he said pulling away the bowl. Kenma relaxed a little now the bowl was away from him, he didn't like the milk in his cereal at all. "What do I feed him?" Kuroo asked Lev, he didn't want to upset the boys sensory issues. Lev opened the cupboard and had a look, there wasn't much for a child to eat. He grabbed out a fruit squeeze and opened it handing to the sluggish boy, he sucked on the fruit squeeze with his eyes looking heavy. Lev sat beside him "How did we sleep?" He asked kenma, the boy gave a small shrug. Kuroo leaned over the counter to Lev "he didn't need it last night and went this morning" Kuroo told Lev, he smiled at the boy and petted his head. "Well done kenma, he can have juice this morning but maybe just water it down a bit" Lev said, Kuroo nodded and pulled Kenmas sippy out. Kenma frowned watching Kuroo pour the apple juice, his stomach was hurting worse and he wasn't sure how long he could hold it in for. Kuroo turned the tap on and started to water down the juice, kenma looked down and let out a small pained cry. He couldnt hold it anymore as he felt his bladder give in, he stayed completely still and tense. Lev looked over to see kenma stiffen in his seat, he heard kenma using his drynite and raised an eyebrow. Kenma let out a sound of discomfort as it hurt to go but he couldnt stop it "Kuroo you said he went this morning?" Lev asked, Kuroo turned around and nodded putting the sippy on the counter. "Yeah just before we came to the kitchen, why?" He asked confused, he heard kenma whine in pain and frowned at the boy. Lev rubbed the boys back and let him finish, Kuroo realised what kenma was doing. He felt awful the boy had been holding it even though he tried to take him this morning, he watched kenma push the fruit squeeze away losing all interest in eating. He sat silently in discomfort, his stomach still lingered in pain from holding it all night. "Bud what happened? You didn't go this morning when I took you?" Kuroo asked, kenma ignored him staring blankly at the counter. He didn't like disappointing Kuroo, he knew he should of gone when Kuroo did take him. Now he sat in an uncomfortably wet pull-up, he let out a shakey breath. Lev gestured for Kuroo to leave with his eyes, Kuroo gave a sigh and walked out the kitchen. Lev turned his chair and Kenmas to face eachother more, he looked at kenma trying to catch his golden eyes "was kenma holding it again?" Lev asked firmly but with no harsh tone, he knew the boy had been because he looked to be in pain from waiting to go. Kenma nodded and rubbed his eyes embarrassed, it was easier to tell Lev more than Kuroo. "When you hold it in kenma your tummy gets really sore and sick, you have to go eventually bud." Lev explained to kenma, the boy frowned and nodded knowing it was true. "You wanna take it off now?" Lev asked standing up, kenma nodded and put his arms out as Lev picked him up. Taking him to the bathroom, Lev bent down and helped show kenma how to take it off. He took the wet drynite and put it in the bin leaving kenma in the bathroom to try and go again, kenma felt better it was off and he could go back into his boxers. Kenma couldn't go anymore, he pulled his pants up and opened the door looking up at Lev. He came in and lifted kenma up to wash his hands, the boy rubbed his hands together and washed the soap foam before washing it off. Once finished Lev put him down and walked him back to the kitchen, Kuroo was making himself a mealshake. Lev helped kenma back up on the stool seat and went behind the counter to make his breakfast, kenma rubbed his lower stomach feeling a little better. Kuroo smiled at kenma "All better?" He asked before taking a sip of his shake, kenma gave a small nod and started to swing his dangling feet. Kuroo was relieved to hear kenma was feeling a bit better now, he still didn't understand why kenma got very embarrassed infront of him but not as much with Lev feeling maybe kenma didn't trust him completely. Lev sat down with bacon and eggs, he started to eat and looked over at kenma who had his eyes on Levs food. He pushed the plate over "what do you want bud?" Lev asked, Kenmas eyes glowed and he grabbed the fist full of bacon Lev had made himself  leaving only egg on his plate, kenma started to eat it happily. Kuroo chuckled at Levs blank facial expression, though he was happy kenma was eating something. "That's what you get for offering" Kuroo hummed out, Lev rolled his eyes and shoved a mouthful of scrambled eggs into his mouth. Kuroo finished his drink and checked the time, he groaned and put his phone on the table. Lev looked over "what is it?" He asked, Kuroo sighed "I have work" Kuroo said in a whine, he didn't want to leave the boy since he had so much to show him. Lev nodded "doesn't hurt to call in.. explain the situation" He suggested, Kuroo thought about it and decided it was for the best. Leaving the room he dialed work, he had to be honest about his home situation since it was permanent now. Kenma ate the bacon as he watched Kuroo leave, he looked up at Lev and showed the bacon off with a smile. "Yeah enjoy that.." Lev said shoving a mouthful of egg into his mouth, kenma nodded and finished eating it. Kuroo came back in with a wide smile "they are giving me one week to get things sorted, they will email me any paperwork that needs doing." Kuroo explained, he was pleased to be able to have a whole week with kenma. Lev smiled and nodded swallowing his food "That's good, it'll give you a chance to know the boy better and set some ground rules." Lev said standing back up taking his plate to the sink, he thought it was good since he felt Kuroo would be able to connect with kenma more. "I'm gonna head to bed, I got work at 3pm to late tonight." Lev told Kuroo, he always needed good rest before late shifts. Kuroo nodded and watched Lev trail off to his room, kenma watched as well before turning back to Kuroo. "So.. what are we gonna do today?" Kuroo asked, he hadn't had a whole day with kenma yet and this was his first time actually babysitting him by himself. Kenma shrugged, he wanted to do lots of things like draw and play with the toy cars. Kuroos eyes lit up, he hadn't shown kenma his new room yet. "How about first you get changed for the day?" Kuroo suggested, kenma nodded and gave grabby hands to Kuroo. He helped the boy down and held his hand walking him to the study, kenma gave a confused look walking past Kuroos room. Kuroo opened the door, kenma looked in amazement. He glanced up at Kuroo and back at the room, Kuroos smile hurt his cheeks since he felt very happy. "Kenmas room" kuroo said, kenma looked up and smiled leaning his head on Kuroos leg. Kuroo carefully walked in as kenma stayed clinging to Kuroos leg, he felt a little shy to touch the stuff even though he was given the toys last night. Kuroo picked kenma up and put him on the bed, the boy looked down and swayed his hand over the blanket "ahta space" kenma whispered, Kuroo nodded "outer space" Kuroo said acknowlging Kenmas words. Kuroo opened the draw up and pulled out a plain light blue cotton shirt and same fabric and colour pants, he also grabbed out socks that were a similar shade of blue. Kenma looked at the clothes Kuroo put on the bed and felt them, he liked the light cotton feeling so he gave a small nod to say he was happy. Kuroo helped dress kenma, the boy let him since he didn't have the drynite on anymore. Once dressed Kuroo grabbed the hairbrush and sat on the bed beside kenma, the boy got into Kuroos lap knowing he needed his hair brushed. Kuroo started from the bottom and worked his way up, kenma yelped over a knot putting his hands behind his head to pull the hairbrush away. Kuroo frowned " sorry bud.." Kuroo spoke softly, kenma nodded and lowered his hands down letting Kuroo finish. Kuroo grabbed a clip and pinned kenmas hair out the way, kenma looked up trying to see it. Kuroo patted Kenmas head "you've got lovely long hair" Kuroo said, kenma felt his hair and nodded wrapping his finger in his hair. "Do you want a haircut?" Kuroo asked, kenma gasped and shook his head holding onto his hair tightly. Kuroo put his hands up in defence " okay okay no haircut, was just checking. Don't pull your hair like that.." Kuroo said lowering kenmas hands away from the tight grip he had on his hair, kenma stimmed his hands and let out a noise before nodding in agreement. Kuroo smiled and got up off the bed, kenma stayed on the bed and scanned the room. Kuroo watched "wanna play?" Kuroo asked, kenma looked up and shrugged nervously. He was very happy to have all the nice things but it felt too good to be true, he was feeling overwhelmed with all the attention he had been getting recently. He needed some time to regulate himself, he started stimming his hands and looked away from any eye contact. Kuroo watched and frowned " you okay kenma?" He asked concerned, kenma shook his head and squinted his eyes putting his arms up to the sides of his face before rocking. Kuroo was unsure once again, Lev would know what to do. " Okay..  i'll be right back" Kuroo spoke walking off, kenma closed his eyes and let out a grunt. Kuroo quickly went to Levs room " hey hey, he's like really overwhelmed and shaking his hands and rocking." Kuroo tried to explain, Lev shot up out of bed. " Its okay, go get his stuff from your room." Lev said making his way to Kenmas room, Kuroo did what was asked of him. Once he came back in he saw Lev had the light off and the curtains shut, sitting on the bed with the boy. The boy was still rocking and flapping his arms every so often, Kuroo very slowly entered handing Lev the cat stuffie and blanket. Kenma let out a sound of ah as he saw them, Lev leaned over putting them near kenma to let the boy pick what he wanted to do. Kemma picked the blanket up and put it over his head, he stopped stimming his hands as he grabbed the cat plush and petted it. The boy was left just rocking as no noises came from him, Kuroo watched feeling unsure on what the boy was doing. "Let him just finish what he needs to do, I think he got overstimulated." Lev whispered, Kuroo nodded and folded his arms infront of himself. Lev stood up and left a hand on Kuroos shoulder "if you need anymore help come get me, just wait until he's ready to come back out. Don't ever restrain that behavior, it'll hurt him." Lev made sure to inform Kuroo, he nodded knowing it was best to let kenma do what was needed to help himself regulate his environment and sensory needs. He stood and waited, kenma stopped rocking and let out a small sigh while petting the cat. The blanket was soon pulled off his head, he chewed on the corner of it and kept his eyes down as he rubbed the cats ear between his thumb and index finger. He looked up to see Kuroo watching, he pulled the blankie from his mouth and waved at Kuroo. He stimmed his hands again and looked over the room, he let himself process everything before smiling at Kuroo. Kuroo was unsure if kenma was finished, he smiled back. Kemma held the blankie in his hands keeping the cat stuffie in his lap, he felt calmer in the dim room but still felt the burn out from the overstimualtion. He needed some down time before playing, he laid back in bed and chewed on the blankie. Kuroo sat down on the bed beside kenma " you need some rest time?" Kuroo asked, kenma looked facing away from Kuroo. He got up "okay, I'll leave you settle bud. You come get me when you're ready" Kuroo spoke softly, he left the room leaving the door open a little bit. Kemma closed his eyes and kept chewing at his blankie, he didn't want anybody around right now as physical contact or staring made him overwhelmed. He hugged the cat plush, soothing himself by rubbing its ear between his fingers making him give a small sigh of calmed relief.
