There Lies Happiness [Saiki Kusuo X Reader]

~15~

"Mommy!"

I saw my little boy running towards me and I squat down opening my arms.

He jumped into my arms and we gave each other a big hug.

I couldn't hold back my tears.

I released him from the hug and checked if he was alright from disappearing from school.

"Are you hurt? Did anything happened?"

"No mommy! I'm good!"

"Kuuya where exactly have you run off too?! Do you know how dangerous it is to run off without saying anything?!" I scolded my son.

I know it's a little harsh raising my voice towards him. But as his mother, I couldn't help but feel worried about his well-being.

I could tell he was a little surprise that I scolded him and hung his head, looking on the ground with guilt.

"I'm sorry mommy... It will not happen again... Please don't cry..."

I ruffled his head gently and bring him into a hug again.

"Mommy is just worried about you. Don't do that again... Okay?"

I stood up and faced Kusuo, wiping my tears away in the process.

"Thank you."

The words I never thought I will say to him ever again.

He nodded and glance at Kuuya with loving eyes. "He is my son after all..."

This time, I couldn't help but feel glad that he did his part as Kuuya's father.

My little boy ran and hug his father's leg. "Mommy! Can we hang out with daddy again?" He asked, looking at me with those puppy dog eyes.

How irresistible!

Glancing at Kusuo, I could feel that he wanted to be together with Kuuya too.

But... I am just not ready to face him yet.

It's bad enough I have to see him at work, but also outside?

For my son's sake, I think I can try.

"W-we... can hang out together when we have free time." I reluctantly answered.

The little pink haired boy jumped up and tugged his father's shirt in delight.

"Anyway," I said, catching their attention. "Where exactly did you found Kuuya?" I asked Kusuo.

The two pink haired male look at each other in silence, as if they were speaking to one another without talking.

'What exactly are they doing?'

"He was near the station, trying to get a train ticket."

"Back to our old home?"

The two of them nodded.

I sighed, and squat down to Kuuya's height.
