Stray Kenma

part 10

Making the bottle kenma leaned his head on Kuroos shoulder and cuddled his stuffed cat, Kuroo put the bottle in the microwave and waited for it to warm up. Kuroo hadn't thought about it until now, the last couple of accidents kenma insisted that Kuroo didn't look or help afterwards. Tonight kenma had let Kuroo help him get cleaned up and didn't try to hide when it happened, instead he wanted cuddles from him. Kuroo wondered if it was progress or just because kenma was tired or scared after what Lev had said through the bathroom door, he hoped this would allow kenma to be more comfortable with Kuroo helping him. The microwave cut Kuroos thoughts off, pulling it from the microwave he gave it a shake. Kenma tried to reach for it, Kuroo pulled it away and sat kenma on the kitchen bench. The child was becoming fussy, wanting the bottle and being tired wasn't helping. Kuroo tested it on his arm and handed it to kenma, the boy put it in his mouth and instantly went quiet now he sucked on the bottle. Kuroo picked kenma back up and stopped in the hall, the puddle was gone and the wash was on. Lev felt bad after what happened to kenma because of him, he ended up cleaning the mess and washing for Kuroo so he could go back to bed with kenma without having to worry about getting back up. Kuroo was appreciative for Lev cleaning it up for him, it was one thing he didn't have to worry about. Kuroo took kenma back to his room with him knowing the child didn't want to sleep in his own bed for the rest of the night, kenma kept the side of his face resting on Kuroos chest and had his bottle. Kuroo got back to his room and laid kenma down before laying down resting on his elbow, kenma held his bottle up drinking the rest of it before handing it back over to Kuroo. He took the bottle and placed it on the bedside table as he watched kenma get comfortable, he laid on his side cuddling blanky and his stuffed cat plush. Kenmas eyes were locked on Kuroos beaming for some attention, Kuroo smiled and ran his fingers through Kenmas hair making the boy relax and close his eyes. Kuroo felt very lucky to have this boy to care for, he couldnt imagine anyone else doing it since he had grown to the boy. Once again kenma was asleep and had his fingers in his mouth, Kuroo covered the child up with the blanket and rolled over going to sleep himself. Kenma woke up first in the morning, rubbing his eyes he looked over to see Kuroo sleeping. Kenma laid back down and closed his eyes trying to sleep longer, his mind didn't want to as he sat back up. Kenma crawled off the bed and took his blanky with him, walking around the hall with the blanky in his mouth. Lev was in bed scrolling on his phone when he heard the tiny steps of the 4 year old wandering the hall, Lev sat up and went out looking down the hall to kenma. The boy looked up hearing the door open, seeing it was Lev he stood still. After last night kenma was a little bit intimidated by Lev, hearing him use big words he knew were bad to say and raising his voice. Lev watched kenma in the hall "what are you doing bud? It's still early." Lev said checking it was 5am, kenma gave a soft shrug and slowly lowered his eyes to the floor. Lev gestured for kenma to come to him, kenma shuffled down the hall and stood infront of Lev. He bent down infront of the child "im sorry for last night kenma, I didn't know it was you. I thought it was just Kuroo, soemtimes Kuroo and I say things we don't mean." Lev explained to the nervous boy, kenma gave a slight nod and cuddled his blanket to his chest. "Kenmas not upset with Lev?" He asked, kenma shook his head and looked up.  Lev smiled knowing kenma wasnt upset with him, he stood back up and held his hand out. Kenma took his hand and kept his eyes up "come on, I'll get you ready for the day." Lev said calmly, kenma nodded and let Lev lead him to his room, kenma let go of his hand and stood near his bed waiting becoming use to the routine. Lev grabbed out a black sweater with a yellow star pattern all over it and some faded blue denim shorts that had planets on the back pockets, also grabbing out some plain black socks and white Velcro shoes. Kenma tried to help while Lev was picking out his outfit, trying to unbutton his pajama top but got frustrated so he tried to just pull it off over his head making him stuck. Kenma whined making Lev quickly turn around "oh kenma, you've gotten yourself stuck." Lev said in a voice lingering with concern so the boy didn't think he would laugh at him, Lev unbuttoned the shirt "ah" kenma let out as his head and arms were finally free and not constricted. Lev got the child undressed and started dressing him in his day clothes, luckily these pants fitted better than the other ones Kuroo had bought but the sweater on the other hand went over Kenmas fingers and you could barely see his shorts. Kenma giggled and waved his sleeves around, he didn't mind that it was a little bit too big as it was warm and comfy. Kenma sat down and let Lev put his socks and shoes on, the boy stood up and looked down at himself. He swayed his body making the sweater sway with him, Lev chuckled and leaned over grabbing Kenmas hairbrush and some clips. Kenma turned around and let Lev do his hair since it was a mess from stirring in the night, Lev clipped it out of Kenmas face "Kenma, do you need a haircut?" Lev asked, kenma frowned and shook his head. Kuroo had already asked about it, Lev looked at the child's hair "Its long" he stated, kenma nodded and started to chew on the end of it. Lev leaned foward and pulled the hair from kenmas mouth, he thought the child should get a haircut but it seemed kenma was happy with the length of it so he decided to leave it alone. Kenmas stomach started to grumble making him look down, he hadn't heard that sound ever since he started to stay with Kuroo and Lev. He was hungry after not eating dinner, the bottle early in the morning that Kuroo made him kept kenma satisfied up until now. Lev heard Kenmas stomach "how about breakfast?" Lev asked, kenma nodded and grabbed his blanky following Lev out though he stopped and looked back at the stacking blocks as the colours caught his eye. Lev noticed and grabbed the stacking blocks "you can play with them in the lounge room after breakfast." Lev said walking back out, kenma nodded and quickly followed after Lev. He left the plastic box of blocks in the lounge room, kenma watched and then followed Lev to the kitchen. Lev put the boy up on the stool so he could watch him make breakfast, Lev grabbed out the yougurt and put some in a plastic bowl as kenma watched excitedly. Lev cut up some bananas and put them on top making kenma now frown, he pointed to the banana in the bowl while he leaner over the counter "yucky.." He said with distaste, Lev put Kenmas spoon in the bowl "i want you to try it, I know it's different but right after you can play blocks." Lev bribed the boy, kenma pouted but nodded. Lev put the yougurt bowl infront of kenma, the boy mumbled a thank you and stirred it with the spoon so he couldnt see the banana anymore. Lev grabbed out Kenmas sippy and watered down some mix fruit juice, going to hand it over he pulled it back. Kenma frowned and had his hands out ready "Do you need to go to the bathroom? You haven't been since you got up." Lev said raising an eyebrow, kenma shook his head and waited for the sippy. Lev handed the sippy over making kenma give off a happy wiggle, it wasn't his apple juice but he didn't mind it. He put the sippy down and picked his spoon up picking up some and leaning over his bowl as most fell back in the bowl, he wiped his mouth on his sweater and swallowed the yogurt since he didn't get any banana. Lev noticed this was gonna get messy if he didn't help, it would of been okay but he had already dressed kenma and he didn't plan on a whole wardrobe change after one meal. Lev came over with his yougurt that had mixed berries and cereal in it and sat beside him, grabbing the child's spoon he picked some up and fed the boy. Kenma didn't resist as the spoon went into his mouth, he noticed the banana in the spoonful Lev put in his mouth making kenma furrow his eyebrows. Lev had a spoonful of his own "chew and swallow kenma, it's just like eating banana by itself once you swallow the yougurt" Lev pointed out, kenma wasnt happy with the answer as he leaned over the bowl and opened his mouth letting it fall back into the yougurt. Kenma picked up his drink and sat back on his knees drinking it was both hands holding the sippy cup, Lev sighed and had another mouthful. He tried again for kenma to react the same way, spitting it out into his bowl. Lev kept trying hoping for a different outcome, kenma had another mouthful and swallowed letting the banana slip down with ease. He leaned over his bowl to notice there was nothing left in his mouth, he looked up at Lev confused. Lev smiled and patted Kenmas back "Good boy, you swallowed it. Maybe chew next time though?" He said, kenma took a sip of his sippy and nodded knowing now it wasn't too bad to swallow with the yougurt. Lev held the spoon to Kenmas mouth "last bite" Lev said to encourage kenma, the boy opened his mouth and leaned forward closing his mouth around the spoon before he pulled back. Kenma felt the banana touch his tounge, he chewed on the piece making his mouth open as he gagged. Kenmas eyes teared from gagging while he closed his mouth back up, Lev rubbed Kenmas back "i know, you're doing good kenma. You can swallow now." Lev encouraged, kenma nodded and swallowed the mouthful quickly grabbing his sippy and drinking it. It was hard for textures and flavours to mix for kenma, though it tasted okay he didn't really like the feeling of banana and yougurt in his mouth at the same time since you didn't have to chew yougurt. Lev clapped his hands "well done kenma, such a big boy." He said with praise, kenma cuddled the sippy to his chest and blushed at the praise. Now he was finished he pointed to the lounge room where his blocks were, Lev smiled "sure bud, you go play while I clean up." Lev said getting up and helping kenma down from the seat, kenma ran off with sippy and blanky in hand excited to use his new blocks. Once in the lounge room kenma got down on his knees and opened the box of blocks, dumping out the whole thing in a pile. Lev could hear kenma giggling from the where he was, he finished cleaning up and went to the lounge room. Kenma was quickly sorting the blocks by size and colour in one straight line, it was an interesting way to play but kenma seemed content. Lev sat on the couch and turned on the kids morning programs on the tv for kenma to watch as he played,  kenma looked up to see charlie and lola was on making him stare at the tv while aimlessly putting the blocks in the line he had created. Lev sat on his phone and glanced the tv every so often as the show seemed a little interesting, he didn't mention to kenma how he knew he took his phone last night as he knew he should of been more aware of his phone. Kuroo woke up just after 6:30am, he groaned into his pillow still feeling tired from the night he had. He thought for sure kenma would still be alseep, he was wrong. Lifting his head up he saw no kenma, Kuroo instantly ran to the bathroom door not wanting a repeat of last night. Kenma wasn't at the door, nor was he inside. He stood in the hall until he heard the tv in the lounge room, he hurried down the hall to the lounge room and gave a sigh of relief to see kenma playing in the lounge room while watching tv and Lev looking over him. He leaned on the door frame and watched kenma play, watching the child alternate between lining his blocks up and the tv screen which now had Sesame street playing. Lev looked over at Kuroo "you're up" he stated, kenma looked over as Lev spoke to see Kuroo in the doorway. Kenma squealed and stood up "kuwo!" He said carefully stepping over his blocks and running over to him, Kuroo smiled and bent down "Kenma! Good morning mister." Kuroo said holding his arms out, kenma ran straight into them and cuddled Kuroo. Kuroo looked over to Lev "He's dressed and had breakfast" Lev told him, kenma pulled away and pointed to his mouth "yucky nanana" kenma told Kuroo as he poked out his tongue, Lev chuckled "he had banana and yougurt together to try, he ate it but gagged so I don't think we will use that combo again." Lev told Kuroo to explain Kenmas words, Kuroo ruffled kemmas hair " Yeah? Good job trying it kenma." He praised the small boy, kenma nodded and ran back over to his blocks squatting down and now stacking them on top of eachother. Lev put his phone away "i can look after him if you need to go somewhere" Lev told Kuroo knowing he might need some down time at the shops, Kuroo nodded knowing it would be the perfect opportunity to get the things he needed for kenma. "Thank you Lev, you didn't have to do all this." He said with a sigh, Lev shook his head "no Kuroo, he's my responsibility too. Don't put all the pressure on yourself, I'm here to help." Lev said with a smile, Kuroo was very greatful "okay, I'll get dressed." Kuroo told Lev as he walked off, kenma looked up to see Kuroo was gone making him frown and drop the block he had in his hand. Lev looked over "Kenma, it's okay. Kuroos gotta go somewhere, he'll come say goodbye and he won't be gone long." Lev said pulling out his phone again, kenma gave a slight nod and picked his blanky and sippy up in one hand as he stacked blocks with the other. Kuroo got ready and came out to the lounge room, kenma quickly dropped his stuff and ran up to Kuroo clinging to his leg " come wif.." Kenma whispered looking up with his golden puppy eyes, Kuroo looked down and petted the top of Kenmas head "it'll be boring bud, I won't be long." Kuroo insisted, kenma frowned as his shoulders went limp. Kuroo bent down and rubbed Kenmas cheek "next time, I promise." Kuroo said, kenma glanced his eyes to see Kuroos hand touching his face and nodded leaning into Kuroos warm hand. Kuroo got back up and said goodbye before walking out the lounge room, kenma followed him until he got to the door. Seeing Kuroo shut the door kenma whimpered and ran back to the lounge room to lev "gone.." He whispered pouting and pointing to the front door down the hall, lev nodded and gestured for kenma to come back in. Kenma dragged his feet back to his blocks and sat down playing, it didn't take long to forget about Kuroo as paw patrol came on. Kuroo got to the shops and started to grab the things he needed, lucky he didn't take kenma today as the stores were very busy. Kuroo went to the baby section and looked at the teething toys, grabbing a rainbow bead teething ring and a blue pacifer with a small star design on the front he threw them into the shopping cart. Next Kuroo went and grabbed some plain blue pull ups for the child hoping it would be better than the Spider-Man, though kenma didn't need them last night he still wanted to make sure they had them incase. Kuroo grabbed more clips and pins to put Kenmas hair up and out the way, he didn't want it to annoy the child while he played. The last things Kuroo grabbed was more milk and apple juice since kenma had emptied the fridge of both, once he had all those things he went and paid. On his last stop he got a iPad for the child, along with a blue case so it didn't smash if kenma were to drop it. Kuroo also got the child headphones to use with the iPad, he paid for the items and left. Back at home kenma was still playing blocks in the lounge room, Lev looked up and checked the time "Kenma, do you need to go to the bathroom? It's been awhile since you last went, you've had all your juice too." Lev asked the child, kenma looked at his empty sippy and then to Lev shaking his head. "You sure?" He asked, kenma shook his head and continued to play. Kenma had to go a little bit but he didn't want to stop playing and go, he stacked his blocks until he had to stand up as the tower was too tall. Kenma got up and picked up more blocks in a handful and added them to the tower, his excitement from building pulsating his bladder. Kenma had to squat down to control the urge before he quickly stood again, kenma finished stacking all his blocks and knocked them over in a small fit of giggles and squirms. Lev chuckled as kenma pointed to his fallen tower, kenma was quick to squat back down and continue to play. Lev raised an eyebrow at the slightly squirmy boy "Kenma, do you need to go?" Lev asked once again, kenma shook his head and continued to build. Lev sighed and gave up on asking the child seeing as kenma showed no interest in what Lev was asking, Kenmas head shot up as he heard the front door. Kenma stumbled to his feet and ran to the door, squealing down the hall as he saw Kuroo was back. Kuroo watched kenma run down the hall as his hair bobbed with him, Kuroo chuckled "hey bud, told you I wouldn't be long." Kuroo said taking the bags in, kenma nodded and followed Kuroo awkwardly as he tried to hold in his excitement and his pressing need. Kenma stopped following Kuroo for a second to look down, he could feel himself having a small accident. Quickly kenma stopped himself from wetting his pants by shoving a hand to his crotch, the urge passed so kenma continued after Kuroo. Kenmas pants were slightly damp but luckily his sweater covered it up, he stopped in the kitchen next to Kuroo waiting to see what he brought home. Kenma held onto kenmas pants leg and stood on his tippy toes trying to look up on the bench, Kuroo picked kenma up and sat him on the bench. Kenma watched Kuroo unpack the bags, putting the items on the table. Kenma saw the pull ups "dun wan." Kenma said pointing to them, Kuroo looked at kenma "I know, just incase kenma." Kuroo said, kenma wanted to hop down now not wanting to be involved with anything that had to do with the pull ups. Kuroo noticed Kenma shuffling his bottom to get down, he put the boy down and let him run off. Kenma went to the lounge room and sat back down to watch tv on the floor, Lev got up and petted Kenmas head "I gotta get ready for work, early one today." He said leaving the room, kenma nodded and focused on the tv. Lev went to the kitchen "can you put these away while you're going" Kuroo said handing over the pull ups, Lev looked at them "No more Spiderman" Lev pointed out, Kuroo nodded and put the milk and juice away. Lev put the pull ups in the bottom of Kenmas drawer, walking out he went to his own room and got ready for work. Kenma watched the tv and stacked his blocks quietly, he stopped when he felt the urge come back. Kenma lifted his sweater up to look and saw his pants were a little bit damp, he shoved the sweater back down and ignored the urge until it faded once again. Kuroo finished unpacking the bags he decided to put lunch on while he was in the kitchen, Kuroo put some fish fingers and chips in the oven. Lev came out dressed ready for work "early day, I'll be finished at 8pm." He said checking the time, Kuroo nodded and waved him off as he was busy setting up the iPad at the kitchen table. Lev went into the lounge room to see kenma watching tv from the floor, he bent down "ill see you in the morning bud." Lev said, kenma nodded and got up giving Lev a quick cuddle. Lev kissed Kenmas cheek and left the boy to watch his show, kenma sat back down and picked his blanky up watching the show. Lev left and went to work, Kuroo set up the parental controls on the iPad and put it away for tonight. He went into the kitchen and plated Kenmas food in the devider plate and put some on a plate for himself, he got out a juicebox for kenma and and glass of water for himself. Once lunch was set up ready Kuroo went to go get kenma from the lounge room, the boy was watching the show closely and didn't notice Kuroo come in. He picked the boy up and put him over his shoulder "ah eh!" Kenma shouted out as he felt Kuroo pick him up and throw him over his shoulder, kenma broke into a worried giggle as he felt his bladder press on Kuroos shoulder and leak out a little but it was funny to be up high. Kuroo bounced a little bit "ah." Kenma giggled out after every bounce, kenma kicked his legs and pressed them together quickly as his face went red from being upside down. Kuroo carried kenma to the kitchen and put him down in the seat next to him, kenma sat down and noticed his pants felt very wet now after Kuroo had bounced him around on his shoulder. Kenma looked over at Kuroo to see the older male seemed to have not noticed he had a small accident seeing as his sweater covered it still. Kenma sat on his knees so he sat higher in the chair to see his food, he was excited to have fish fingers and chips. Kuroo got up and grabbed tomato sauce from the fridge and put some on his own plate, Kuroo ate and watched kenma. The boy nibbled on his food and watched Kuroo dip his food into the sauce, kenma leaned over and dipped his fish finger in Kuroos sauce and licked it off giving a happy wiggle. Kuroo smiled "is it good?" Kuroo asked, kenma nodded and redipped his fish finger licking it off once again. Kuroo got the sauce and put some on kenmas plate, the boy only wanted it off Kuroos plate as he kept dipping his food in it. Kenma finished 3 fish fingers and a handful of chips before he was full, Kuroo finished all his and stood up taking the plates. Kenma picked up his juicebox and drank it as he watched Kuroo clean up, once done kenma handed over the juicebox and got down off the seat. Kenma last went to the bathroom at 2am and it was now just past 12pm, the only time he had been was when he accidentally leaked during the day. Lev hadn't thought to tell Kuroo kenma hadn't gone for him all morning, kenma felt his tummy was getting sore but he really didn't want to go. Kuroo checked the time "alright, we can play a little bit then it's nap time." Kuroo told the boy, kenma nodded and went off to the lounge room as Kuroo followed. Kenma sat down with his blocks and watched the tv, Kuroo sat on the couch and watched over him. Kenma giggled at the tv as he saw the characters doing flips, kenma got up on his hands and knees and tried to copy. He tried to roll foward, finally he curled up and rolled foward landing flat on his back in a fit of giggles. Kuroo chuckled at kenma doing the trick, kenma got back up and tried to do it again. Standing up kenma put his hands flat on the floor and curled his head forward as he tried to kick his feet over, Kuroo watched and noticed Kenmas pants looked wet from where he was sitting as kenma bent over which lifted the sweater up on the boy. Kuroo thought it might of just been the fading design on kenmas pants making it look that way, kenma did a forward roll and landed on his back and giggled more. Kuroo stood up and hovered kenma, with the childs hands above his head as he laid down he could now see Kenmas pants. They were wet around the crotch making Kuroo raise an eyebrow, kenma was still giggling and looking up at Kuroo. Kuroo pointed to Kenmas pants "bub did you go pee?" Kuroo asked, kenma stopped giggling and sat up lifting his sweater to see his pants were wetter than he thought, kenma pushed the sweater down and shook his head. Kuroo bent down and got the child to stand up, kenma held his sweater down to hide the wet patch. Kuroo tried to look "show kenma, you're not in trouble." Kuroo said calmly, kenma shook his head and let out a whimper. He wanted to keep playing, Kuroo managed to lift the sweater and have a look. Kenmas legs were dry and so was the floor "kenma do you need to go potty? I think you're holding it." Kuroo pointed out, kenma frowned and mumbled gibberish. Kuroo felt the pants and they were wet like Kuroo had first thought "kenma, you gotta go bud." Kuroo said standing up and holding Kenmas hand, kenma pouted and let Kuroo lead him to the bathroom. "Were you holding it on purpose?" Kuroo asked, kemma ignored the question as he knew he had to go but didn't want to. Kuroo sighed and lead kenma stopping at the bathroom, kenma stood at the door and shook his head while whining at Kuroo. Kenma still didn't want to go, Kuroo bent down infront of the boy "Kenma, you need to go or you'll go pee on the floor and on yourself even more." Kuroo explained, kenma shook his head and pulled at his sweater nervously. Kuroo frowned at the boy "Why not?" He asked, kenma shrugged his shoulders and kept his eyes down. Kenma was a little bit scared to go for two reasons, one being after last night when Lev was yelling in the bathroom in scared him a little bit. The second reason being was kenma knew it was going to hurt after holding it all day, he looked Kuroo in the eyes and pulled at his sweater more. Kuroo wasnt sure what he could do for kenma "you don't want to use the bathroom?" Kuroo asked, kenma nodded and started to rub at his eyes feeling teary eyed. Kuroo watched the boy and tried to think "would you use a pull up if I put one on you?" Kuroo asked, kenma frowned and shook his head. Kuroo stood up "buddy, it's pull up or potty. You pick." He told the child who started to whine and lean forward, kenma had to pick quickly as his stomach was hurting more and more. Kenma pointed to the bathroom door and let out a whine "okay, let's go." Kuroo said holding Kenmas hand and going into the bathroom, Kuroo went to leave but kenma whined louder. Kuroo let go of Kenmas hand "stay?" He asked, kenma furrowed his eyebrows and nodded. Kuroo turned around to let the boy go, kenma went over to the toilet and pulled his pants down and sat down. He started to go but let out a cry of pain, his bladder was in a lot of pain like he thought it would be in. Kuroo frowned at Kenmas loud cry he let out "sore buddy?" Kuroo asked, kenma didn't respond as he focused on finishing. Once he finished he pulled his wet pants back up and pouted flushing the toilet, he went over to the sink and washed his hands. Kuroo turned around and watched "you sore kenma?" He asked again, kenma nodded and started to rub at his eyes. He was exhausted now, only wanting sleep after holding in his pee all day. Kuroo took Kenmas hand and lead him to the lounge room to get the childs comfort items, next to the kitchen to get Kenmas Pacifer which Kuroo put in his pocket. Kuroo lead the tired boy back to his room, leaving the child near the bed to change him. Kuroo got out some comfy pajama pants so kenma could nap, also grabbing out more boxers for the child. Kuroo undressed kenma as he hid his face into his blanky, Kuroo slipped up the boxers and pants and petted Kenmas head to let him know he was finished. Kenma pulled the blanket away from his face feeling a lot better, he crawled up on the bed and brought his feet up trying to take his shoes off. Kuroo chuckled and took them off for kenma, the boy watched and slipped his middle and index fingers into his mouth sucking on them. Kuroo put the shoes down on the floor and covered kenma up, pulling the blanket up over the sleepy boy. Kuroo noticed Kenmas fingers in his mouth, leaning down he pulled them from kenmas mouth "No more sucking on your fingers, here." He said holding up the pacifer for kenma to take, the child eyed the pacifer and took it looking close at the pacifer design before slipping it in his mouth. The feeling of the pacifer in his mouth was comforting, he rolled onto his side and closed his eyes going to sleep sucking the pacifer in a steady motion. Kuroo kissed the child's head and left him to have his nap, putting the washing on and going to the lounge room to watch some tv finally.
