Stray Kenma

timeskip

Kuroo knocked on kenmas door, slowly opening it to see his child sleeping peacefully. He smiled and walked in, sitting on the side of the bed and running his hand through the boys hair. "Kenma kiddo, you gotta get up for camp." Kuroo said softly, he knew kenma had been looking forward to it but last night he ended up getting a sick feeling in the stomach over it. Kenma squeezed his eyes closed tightly before wriggling further under the blankets, his comfort blanky still resting near him. "Kenma, I know you're nervous but you'll have fun." He added as he took his hand away from kenmas hair. Kenma groaned and pulled the blanket over his head, he was getting homesick before even going. Kenma knew this would be the longest time he would be spending away from his dads. Kenma is now 11 years old, his first camp trip with his school class was today. "Come on bud, Hinata will be sad if you don't go." Kuroo said rubbing his hand over the childs back. Kenma slowly lifted his head, showing kuroo his teary eyes. The tears in kenmas eyes melted him "what's wrong kiddo?" He asked softly, kuroo knew kenma was anxious but not that much. Kenma stayed on his tummy and looked at his pillow "what happens if I.. mhm.." He said cutting himself short, he didn't want to go into detail. Kuroo gave a soft sigh and wiped the tear that threatened to fall "we've talked about this kenma, miss Jenner will make sure you're taken to the bathroom before lights out. She will come check on you in the morning, if something happens she will help and make sure no one else knows." Kuroo spoke calmly, it hadn't happened in awhile since finding a routine that helped him. Kenma frowned and nodding before sitting up, getting out of bed and stretching. "Keep worrying yourself too much and you will pee the bed, you know there's no need to stress." Kuroo said watching his boy wake up more. "But Dad.. you wet your sw-sleeping bag on camp.." kenma said pouting. Kuroo blushed and shook his head "Hey no, that was different. We don't talk about that." Kuroo butted in. Lev knocked on the door and stood in the doorway "Morning kiddo, ready for camp?" He asked with a smile. Kenma folded his arms infront of himself and looked at the floor. "He's worried he might wet his sleeping bag." Kuroo told Lev "daaadd." Kenma said with blushed cheeks, he hated talking to them both about it. "Oh kenma, you haven't wet the bed in a while. You'll be just fine, kuroo has spoken with your support teacher that's going on camp." Lev said with a sigh. "Momm.." kenma said before walking out the room. After the one time kenma called Lev mom when younger it seemed to of stuck, it was also easier to refer to them differently so both didn't come running when he called out for one of them. Kuroo and Lev watched him "Hes just scared to be away, its all new for him. He finds new hard, it's a good step." Lev told kuroo, he knew Kuroo was feeling anxious about it too. Kuroo nodded and got up off the bed. After looking after kenma for 7 years they had worked out a predicable home routine for kenma, camping did not fit this routine. Kenma turned around and walked back into the room past the two parents, blushing as he snatched his blanky off his bed and went back out to go to the kitchen. Kenma still carried it around when he was anxious, kuroo and Lev accepted it since he had stopped carrying it around constantly since he was 7. "Hes got blanky, he's still worried." Kuroo pointed out. Lev nodded and followed kenma out to the kitchen, seeing the child sitting as he rubbed over the blanky with his thumb to soothe himself. Lev went in and grabbed kenma a bowl of dry cereal and a glass of milk, bringing them over to the table. Kenma started picking through the lucky charms for the marshmallows, still not fond of soggy cereal. "Kenma, spoon please." Lev said putting a straw in kenmas milk cup, they found it easier then kenma picking up the cup and dropping it. Kenma rolled his eyes and picked up his spoon, picking through it and putting the marshmallows on the spoon before eating it quietly. He put the spoon down and washed down the cereal with the milk, keeping himself busy in his head imagining the set idea of camp he had in his head. Kuroo came out with kenmas packed bag, he made sure everything was packed. "Blanky please." Kuroo said holding his hand out. Kenma frowned "dad.. pw-pw-" kenma tried to get out "take your time." Kuroo spoke in a soft tone. Kenma nodded and gave himself a moment to focus on his words "p-please don't take it.." He said in a mumbled voice. "I'll put it in your bag so you don't forget it." Kuroo told the boy, he didn't want a meltdown over kenma getting to camp and noticing he forgot it. Kenma picked it up and gave it a cuddle and handed it over to kuroo, he understood and he didn't want to forget it. Kuroo tucked it into the bag "thank you, eat your cereal and then go get ready to leave. That means hair and teeth brushed please." Kuroo said as he took the bag to the door. Kenma never ended up getting a haircut, still a sobbing mess every time he has to get a small trim. Kenma nodded and ate all the marshmallows before going in for the cereal itself, munching on it and taking a sip of his milk drink. "Mom?" Kenma asked with a curious tone, mixing through his dry cereal. "Yes kenma?" Lev asked as he stayed in the kitchen packing away dishes, kuroo now coming and sitting near kenma at the breakfast bar. "Can have juice?" He asked before shoving another mouthful of cereal into his mouth. Kuroo looked between Lev and kenma, Lev doing the same to kuroo and kenma as the boy kept his head down looking at his cereal. "Kenma kiddo.. not today, sorry you've got your milk." Lev said as he went back to packing the dishes away. Kenma looked up and frowned "but don't want milk.." he mumbled as he pushed the cup of milk away from him. Kuroo took the cup away from kenma, moving it to the his side away from the child in case he acted out. "Kenma, we talked about this." Lev said as he stayed facing away, they did bring it up briefly that they would prefer that kenma didn't drink too much before the bus trip. Kenma groaned and pushed his bowl away harshly, crossing his arms with a pout. "But mom... mh gonna die from- declination.." kenma mumbled. Kuroo raised an eyebrow "kenma, I think you mean dehydration." Kuroo corrected. "Kuroo, meaning of declination and dehydration please." Lev said, they did this every time they taught kenma how to use what intermediate words in sentences. Kuroo sighed "declination, noun. the angular distance of a body north or south of the celestial equator. Declination and right ascension, an east-west coordinate, together define the position of an object in the sky. North declination is considered positive and south, negative." Kenma rolled his eyes as kuroo spoke, holding his chin in his hand as the big words went over his head. "Dehydration, noun. a harmful reduction in the amount of water in the body." Kuroo explained. "See? Water, not juice. You'll be fine kenma." Lev told him, it was normal for them to discuss words and using them in appropriate ways. "You are saying I'm over-.. over drama?" Kenma mumbled, blushing as he was unable to remember all his words when he was upset or angry. Kenma let out a frustrated grunt and leaned back in his chair. "Kenma, you're okay. I know you're just overwhelmed with camp.. we know what you're trying to say. It's okay to over exaggerate at times, we are just taking precautions or being extra careful." Kuroo told the frustrated child. Kenma got teary eyed and stayed looking down at his food. Kuroo looked up at Lev, it was hard not to cave. Lev couldn't help but cave too, with their boy going away all on his own they didn't want him upset before leaving. Lev went to the fridge and grabbed out the apple juice, getting a cup and filling it up halfway, filling the rest with water. Lev came over with the cup, putting a straw in it. "Look at me kenma." Lev asked as he leaned on the counter. Kenma looked up a little, looking away again to keep glancing the cup of juice. "You can have the juice, I want you to be good on camp. You need to listen to your body and miss Jenner, what ever she says you need to listen and do. Remember to go to the bathroom after you brush your teeth when you finish breakfast too please, we want whats best for you" lev said with his serious parenting voice. Kuroo looked over to see kenma with his head down, still able to catch his cheeks blushing through his messy bed hair. "Understand?" Lev asked. Kenma nodded "yes mom.." he mumbled, kenma was embarrassed he would have his supporting teacher on his case about his toileting habits at this age. Lev pushed the juice over to kenma, ruffling the boys hair as he leaned down to take a sip from the straw in the cup. "And its over dramatic, not over drama." Lev added as he watched kenma drink the juice. Kenma pulled away from the straw "I know that." He said back with Sass in his voice. Kuroo smirked and opened his phone, checking the time and cussing under his breath. "Okay, hurry up kiddo." Kuroo said, getting up so he could grab the car keys. "I am, you said bad word." Kenma said through a mouthful of food. Kuroo cussed under his breath again "sorry" He said back as he searched for the keys. Kenma finished off half his cereal and most of his juice, pushing them away and mumbling to Lev that he was finished and full. Lev looked at what was left and gave a nod to tell kenma he was free to go. Kenma got down from the breakfast bar and hurried off to his room, he had already picked his outfit the day before because he had been very excited. Kenma got dressed in his blue collared t shirt and denim shorts before sitting on the floor and putting on his plain white calved socks and white shoes. They had already been laced up, not too tight so he could slip them on and off easily without having to worry about doing the laces as most times it left him frustrated. He stood up with a slight smile before heading off to brush his teeth, going into the bathroom and getting his toothbrush ready. Kenma started to wet the toothbrush under the tap, becoming very squirmy as his shoes tapped against the floor while he stepped around on the spot. Kenma ignored it by quickly turning the tap back off and putting the toothpaste on the brush. Instantly the squirming disappeared as kenma brushed his teeth looking at himself in the mirror, he still had to brush his hair he remembered. Lev knocked before coming in, peeking in to check the boy. "You need to hurry up a little kiddo" Lev told him as he came in. It made kenma frown and keep himself facing away.
Lev came up behind kenma and picked the boys hairbrush up, gently starting to brush it out. The bristles against kenmas sculp sent a satisfied shiver down the childs back, finally leaning forward and spitting the toothpaste out. Kenma wiped his arm across his mouth, putting the unwashed toothbrush back. Lev caught this as he unfocused on brushing the boys hair. "Kenma, wash your toothbrush off." Lev told him, going back to look at the childs hair. Kenma groaned out a whine and picked up his toothbrush, very quickly rinsing it off and putting it back in the toothbrush holder. Lev hadn't noticed how kenmas legs had glued themselves together during the task, too focused on making sure kenma didn't have any knots to worry about. Kenma gripped the rim on the sink and pulled himself back together. Kenma had acknowledged the pressure he had in his bladder but his mind too focused on everything else to tell the boy that he should relieve himself. Lev assumed that would of been the first thing kenma did when coming into the bathroom, conderindingn the boy went from bed straight to the table. Lev finished and petted the boy on the top of the head. "Let's go now, dad found the keys and is in the car." Lev hummed. Kenmas stomach twisted up, camping was getting close. "Mmm.." kenma whined out as he hugged his tummy. Lev raised an eyebrow "getting nervous again?" He asked before bending down infront of the slightly jittery boy. Kenma could see his vision blur with tears filling his eyes. "Tummy hurt.." kenma whispered as he looked down at the ground to avoid eye contact with Lev. "Its okay buddy.. you've got some anxiety. It makes you feel all sick in the tummy." Lev explained to which kenma nodded. Lev put his arms out for a hug and kenma was quick to latch onto the taller one and break into a sniffle, bad scenarios filtering through his mind. "Shh it's okay buddy.. you've got this, you call home if you need to. Miss Jenner and kuroo talked about it, you can use her phone just before lights out to call us and say goodnight." Lev explained, rubbing a hand over kenmas back firmly to soothe him. Those words were helpful to hear, rubbing his tears away into levs shoulder before pulling away and nodding. Lev smiled at the boy and let him pull away, running a hand through his hair to make sure all knots were out and to comfort the boy. Kenma put a hand to his stomach, walking out to the car. Lev walked behind him, locking the front door. Kenma went to the back of the car and opened the door getting in, avoiding eye contact with kuroo. He didn't want dad knowing he had been crying, he didn't want another lecture or pity points. Kuroo knew his kid, seeing the blotchy face and the commitment to avoid any eye contact. He didn't say a word about it, kuroo understood that's what kenma wanted right now. "Ready to go?" Kuroo asked, glancing back at kenma. Lev got in the car and gave kuroo a look to drop it, glancing back at kenma shortly after. "Mhm.." he mumbled, looking out the Window. Kuroo reversed out the driveway, pulling onto the rode and driving to the school. Kenma kept his eyes out the window, a hand rubbing over his sore stomach. The soreness of anxiety disguising his bladders needs. Close to the school kenma started to shift around in his seat, his bladder now combining with his anxiousness. Lev glanced back as kenma was squirming and trying to get comfortable, he couldn't tell if it was the boys nerves or he was just eager to get out the car. "hafta to go pee.." kenma mumbled, sitting up more in his seat to get comfortable. Kuroo cussed a little to himself, looking back at kenmas wiggling. "Did you go at home?" Kuroo asked, raising an eyebrow. Kenma sunk a little in his seat "forgot.." he mumbled out, squinting a bit as he pushed himself to sit back up. Kuroo rolled his eyes, looking over as he felt levs hand on his arm. "Hey, at least he told us before he got on the bus." Lev pointed out, knowing kenma got too shy to verbally express his needs around his peers and teachers if there was too many. Kuroo gave a soft sigh, Lev was right and he couldnt be upset with kenma since he had been on edge with the camp. Kenma pushed his hands between his thighs and leaned his head back, he waited to hear what they were going to do about it. "Hold up, we're at school. I'll park and then Lev can go ask with you." Kuroo told them, starting to park the car. "Hurry.." kenma whispered under his breath, he knew he had left it a bit long this morning. "Okay okay, Lev go." Kuroo said, putting the car in park. Lev almost jumped out the car, going around and opening the back door for kenma. The boy gave a sigh of relief, unclipping his seatbelt and shuffling his way out the car. Kenma stood bouncing a bit on the spot, watching lev close the car door. "Quick, let's go." Lev told the boy, grabbing his hand and walking quickly to the group of kids and teachers waiting for the bus. "Which teacher?" Lev asked, he knew kenma would pick someone he trusted. Kenma pointed to miss Jenner, he trusted her the most and she already knew about all kenmas needs as she had been working with him for a bit. Lev pulled kenma along, going up to her as they waited for her attention. Miss J looked behind her to see Lev, looking down next to him to see kenma was restless on the spot. She had a good understanding of kenmas signals, working at the school for awhile and being kenmas support teacher she was almost always right when it came to kenmas needs. "Hey.. we've got a bit of an emergency.." Lev leaned in close to her to whisper. Kenma kept his eyes on her, ignoring his friends and other students. "Gotta go pee.." he told her, considering Lev had the audacity to not actually tell her straight up. "Kenma.." Lev whispered at the boy, he didn't want him embarrassing himself in front of his friends or peers. Miss J nodded, she understood kenma was much more forward and that he didn't understand how being indirect or not actually stating it still let her understand what Lev was saying. "Its alright, I have the key to the bathroom blocks." She told them, showing them around her neck on a lanyard. Kenma quickly latched onto the key but didn't tug it. "Kenma." Lev said sternly, he didn't want kenma to scare the teacher or try and tug it forcefully. Miss J had been a little caught off by kenma grabbing onto the keys on her lanyard, she knew how to handle it though. She gently put a hand over kenmas "it's okay, you can hold them until we get to the bathroom." She told kenma, taking the lanyard off from around her neck and letting kenma hold them like promised. Lev was glad to see how she had handled it so swiftly and avoided any sort of meltdown. Kenma held the keys and jingled them a bit, squirming around on the spot. "Come on, let's go." She spoke, holding her hand out for the boy. Kenma looked up and grabbed her hand, walking off quickly with her back to the school. Lev gave a soft sigh of relief, he had complete trust in her for camp. Lev looked around at the kids, all of them seemed to mind their business. The school had been very on top of the bullying and giving the children understanding when it came to things like autism or other atypical behaviours. Hinata came up to Lev and smiled happily, though he had continued to mature quicker than kenma along with his peers, he never turned kenma away and was still great friends with him. "Hey kid, how's it been?" Lev asked, smiling back even though he was still slightly worried about kenma. "Good! Excited. Yams is late but he's still coming too. Is kenma staying the whole time?" Hinata asked, bouncing a little on his spot with excitement. Lev gave a small nod "Yeah, should be." Lev spoke back with a hum. Lev never asked anything of hinata or kenmas friends, it wasn't their job to look after him completely and never wanted that type of stress when it came to his friendships. Lev understood it was the teachers job like miss Jenner to deal with kenmas emotions or physical needs, sure friends could do that but in a different way. "I've got to go get kenmas stuff, he should be back soon." Lev said, slowly walking backwards. Hinata nodded and went back to talking with a couple of his other friends. Kenma walked with miss Jenner, playing with the keys and making them jingle. Once at the bathroom block kenma started seachering for the key, unsure which one it was. Miss Jenner had her hand out, waiting for kenma to hand over the keys on the lanyard. Kenma turned his body away and continued to look through the keys. Miss Jenner bent down in front of kenma, holding her hands over his. Kenma refused to look up, crossing his legs over as he tried to still search the keys. "Kenma.. we're at the toilet blocks now. I said you could hold the keys until we got here, I need them back now.." she explained. Kenma fussed a bit and tried to turn away with the keys. "I wanna do it." He told her firmly. She knew she didn't have much time before kenma was going to have an accident. "Kenma, you need to go to the bathroom quickly. I dont want you to wet yourself, I know you don't want to as well. How about I unlock the door and you can lock it back up?" She offered. Kenma gently let go of the keys and nodded, turning back to the door and stepping around on the spot. Miss Jenner got up and unlocked the door, opening it up for kenma to go in. Kenma quickly ran in and picked a stall, going all by himself thanks to kuroo and Lev being so consistent on kenmas self care and self help skills at a young age. Miss Jenner knew what tricks to use to get kenma to listen, it had taken a bit but she managed to get through to him in most situations. Lev went back to the car, helping kuroo get kenmas stuff. "I forget what he's like sometimes.. it's normal until he's around kids his age.." Lev said, leaning on the car. Kuroo grabbed kenmas bag "mhm.. he has his moments Lev, he's a good kid and we've taught him everything or as much as he's been able to take in." Kuroo reminded Lev, it was normal for them and they understood kenma would always continue to learn even if it was a little bit behind his peers. Kenma finished up and flushed the toilet, pulling his pants back up and looking at the stall door. Kenma got on his hands and knees, starting to crawl back under it. Miss Jenner quickly bent down and stopped kenma, she knew he knew how to get out the stall properly and never had issues with the locks. "Kenma, we don't crawl under the stalls. You need to unlock the door and come out properly please." She told him, unsure what his goal was. Kenma frowned and got up, unlocking the stall door and looking at her sheepishly. Miss Jenner bent down in front of him. "What were you trying to do kenma?" She asked softly. Kenma kept his eyes down and fidgeted with his hands. "Well.. saw boys do it.." he mumbled, thinking there was nothing wrong with that. All he had seen was how it made the boys chuckle, it must of made them happy he thought. She saw how kenma tried to pick up on the other boys behaviours, being very easily influenced by what he'd seen to try and help mask himself. "I see, well what they were doing was actually not okay kenma." She explained. Kenma frowned and looked up at her. "When you lock the stall and crawl back out under the door, people can't get into the stall and will have to also crawl under to get in. They also might not know someone's not in the stall and have an accident." She further explained how it was wrong. Kenma pouted more, seeing how what he did or tried to do was wrong. He was quick to sign sorry, moving his gaze down again. Miss Jenner gave a smile "thank you for understanding kenma, we've got to use the stalls properly." She spoke softly "Can you wash your hands and then I'll give the keys to you to lock up." She told him. Kenmas mood lifted, nodding his head and going over to the taps to wash his hands. Kuroo and Lev waited around the other parents and children, levs eyes in the directions of the toilet blocks while kuroo checked his phone. Lev gave a soft breath of relief, seeing kenma coming back happily and almost skipping. Kenma came back to Lev and kuroo, jingling the keys around his neck before holding them up. Kuroo put his phone down, smiling back at Kenma. It was good to see that miss Jenner understood that sometimes it was best to let kenma feel in control, being more eager to follow the instructions. Lev bent down in front of kenma, holding his hands. "Good job kenma, can miss J have her keys back now?" Lev asked, trying to get kenma to make eye contact with him. Kenma avoided Lev completely, looking up at kuroo. "Dad, look." He said, looking past Lev and holding up the keys. He still enjoyed making kuroo very proud of him. Kuroo smiled "that was very nice of miss Jenner to let you hold them, can you thank miss Jenner and give them back?" Kuroo asked calmly. Kenma nodded with a smile, turning to miss Jenner and taking the lanyard off. "Miss J" he said, holding them up to her. Miss Jenner took them, watching as kenma signed a very quick thank you. "Thank you kenma, I appreciate you helping and also listening." She praised. Kenma nodded and was quick to go find hinata. Kuroo and Lev watched as kenma went off, ignoring them almost completely. Kenma went up and stood beside hinata, waiting patiently for his attention. Hinata excused himself from his other friends, turning to kenma and hugging him. "I'm glad you're coming with." Hinata said. Kenma smiled and nodded "mhm" He answered back, pulling away shortly after. "Miss J let me hold keys." He told hinata, rather excited with the trust given to him. Hinata dropped his jaw a bit "miss Jenner never let's me." He said, though it had been something he never asked to do since he really had no interest in looking after the keys. Kenma felt more proud of himself "mhm!" He hummed excitedly, his hands fidgeting in front of himself. Kenma slowly went silent, he had to tell himself not to be loud or unmask when around lots of faces. Hinata saw this but understood why kenma would always shut off around lots of people. Kenma lowered his head a bit, wanting to say sorry since he hadn't been very considerate about his surroundings. Hinata gave a smile, making sure kenma saw it. Lev and kuroo came up to the boys, standing close to them. Hinata looked to Kuroo, keeping his genuine smile. Though Hinata could be loud and very silly around other students, he always knew to do the right things around kenma and try to behave even though sometimes they would act up together unintentionally. Kenma looked behind himself, looking up to kuroo and Lev. The boy frowned, he felt his stomach drop again knowing he wouldn't see their faces soon. Kenma stood closer to kuroo as the bus came. The boy tugged kuroos shirt, telling him to meet him at eye-level. Kuroo bent down, looking at the boy as he felt kenmas hands cup his face and stare intensely. "What are you doing kenma?" Kuroo asked, watching the boys eyes dart his face. "Remembering you." He said, not wanting to forget what his face looked like while he was going to be away. Kuroo gave a nod, not deterring kenma from what he felt he needed to do. He let go and came over to Lev, doing the same thing. Lev smiled as kenma cupped his face. "You got pimple" kenma said, pointing right to it on levs forehead. Levs smile fell quick "mhm, good observation kenma thanks, I hadn't noticed.." Lev said sarcastically. "Welcome." Kenma said back confidently. Kuroo had to hold back a laugh so kenma didn't second guess himself over his confidence and brutal honesty. Kenma let go of levs face, he was sure that he could remember their faces in his mind now so he didn't get upset if he forgot what they looked like exactly. Hinata smiled, though kenmas honesty hurt sometimes he wouldn't change him for the world. Kenma looked over as tsuki pulled up with Yamaguchi. Kenma bounced on the spot, his feet telling him to run up to the car. Kuroo went to grab kenmas hand but Hinata seemed to beat him to it. Being around kenma Hinata knew kenma had a tendency to act on impulse without thinking things through. "I thought he was gonna miss the bus. They'll come over in a moment, hes got to grab his bag." Hinata informed kenma. The boy nodded and watched in the direction, both of his hands fidgeting his hinatas hand that he had held onto kenma with. Kuroo smiled at Lev, it was always heart-warming to just see the boys be able to respond to each other and do the right things. Lev had gotten over the pimple comment, smiling back at the boys. Tsuki helped Yamaguchi put his bag on, talking to him as he did so. "Please be good, you need to take your medicine and make sure they don't give you straight dairy. And please speak up for yourself, but that doesn't mean talk back." Tsuki explained. Yamaguchi rolled his eyes "I knowww" He huffed out, crossing his arms over in front of himself. "Hey, don't give me attitude. You'd never talk to your friends teachers like that." Tsuki scolded slightly. Yams took a deep breath and nodded, he only ever gave Tsuki the attitude. Yams was always a nervous wreck out of the house, only ever being sassy and gossiping to Tsuki. "Please, please go to the bathroom too.. no holding it or ignoring your needs to play or because you don't want to speak up." Tsuki added, Yams always being prone to infections since he preferred to hold it all day. He had got really good at handling his bladder, too good apparently as tsuki had to always remind the boy that he hadn't been all day even if he'd stayed hydrated. "I'm not a kid anymore." Yamaguchi mumbled out, glaring a bit at the ground. Tsuki stopped and stood in front of him. "You're 10." He pointed out, very obviously that Yams was still just a kid. Yamaguchi rolled his eyes, he had meant he wasn't 4 anymore and didn't need to be reminded to actually take breaks since he never did have accidents from holding all day. At most he'd get a uti and some pains at night, or that's all hed mention at least. Tsuki walked with yams up to the kids, seeing they were starting to line up to get on the bus. Kenma was torn, wanting to say hi to Yams but also say goodbye to kuroo and Lev. The boy let out a distressed noise, letting go of hinatas hand. The ginger not sure how to help, letting kenma sort his own emotions. "Kenma kenma, hey.. come say bye please." Kuroo said softly. With those words kenma almost broke into a cry, quickly latching onto kuroo and wiping his face into kuroos shirt. Kuroo bent down, hugging the boy and hushing gently. Lev bent down and wrapped his arms around the two. "You'll be okay, you've got hinata, Yams and miss Jenner." Lev whispered. Kenma coughed a small sob and nodded, holding on tighter to them. Hinata frowned a little and looked at the ground, suga had to run off to work so he really didn't get to say goodbye and only got a very quick cuddle. Kuroo looked up at hinata, gesturing for for boy to come over and cuddle them too. Hinata lifted his eyes and was quick to do so, joining the small group hug. He felt instantly better, pulling away once he felt kenma trying to leave the huddle. Yams gave tsuki a hug, mumbling a goodbye and an I love you. Tsuki smiled, kissing the top of Yams head before stepping out the way. Miss Jenner came over to the three boys "Ready to go?" She asked, two giving a nod. Kenma felt his stomach flipping again, stepping closer to kuroo and Lev with his teary eyes. Miss Jenner bent down "Its okay sweetie, how about we call then as soon as we get to camp?" She offered, knowing that made it feel less detaching. Kenma wiped his eyes and nodded, coming forward to stand next to her. Lev had to turn away, his eyes welling up already. Kuroo felt his own eyes start to go teary, hitting Lev gently in the back. "Don't, you'll make me cry more." He said as he watched kenma go back to the two boys. Tsuki wanted to smirk at them, he just couldn't as he felt his own emotions tug at him.
