Stray Kenma

part 17

Kenmas head shot up, smiling big and waving at hinata. Kuroo slowly got up off the kid chair, bending down and kissing the top of kenmas head. Hinata sat down in the chair kuroo had been sitting in, watching kenma try and do the puzzle. "How's it going?" Suga asked. Kuroo nodded "Alright, he seems to be okay..." he said, stepping away to watch kenma play. Suga smiled "Bray and piper are Amazing, just look. My kid didn't even say bye to me." He said with a smirk. Lev slowly left the room, one out one more to go. "Yeah.." kuroo said, knowing he couldn't say bye or kenma might lose it. "Hinata will look after him too, help him out and tell kenma what they need to do." Suga spoke confidently, watching as hinata started to point to where the puzzle pieces needed to be for kenma. "Do I tell him I'm leaving or go?" He asked suga, unsure if he should disturb kemmas play to get a cuddle and tell him he would be back soon. "This is going to be tough on you but let's go." Suga said, putting a hand on kuroos shoulder and leading him to the door. Kuroo wanted to cry, not looking back and leaving the room with suga. Outside the room his tears finally fell, looking away from everyone else so he didn't see he was crying. Lev grabbed onto kuroo "Hey, look. Look at your little boy playing." Lev said, making kuroo look through the glass window. Kuroo looked in, kenma and hinata were still doing the puzzle together. "That boy has the biggest smile on his face, playing with kids his age." Lev pointed out. Kuroo nodded and wiped his tears, sniffling and turning away. Lev smiled "Let's go" He said, starting to walk off with suga. Kuroo frowned and looked back one more time, sighing and walking down the hall to exit the daycare. Kenma sat on the chair, blanky in one hand and puzzle pieces in the other. Hinata continued to show kenma where each one went until done, smiling widely. "We did it!" He shouted happily. Kenma clapped, pulling the puzzle board off the table to go show kuroo and Lev. The boys smile left, kuroo wasn't near the door and neither was Lev. He held the puzzle board in both hands with a frown. "Dada.." he whispered quietly. Hinata saw kenma was upset, standing in front of him. "Its okay, daddy comes back later." He explained, knowing they would go to work and then pick them up. Kenma pouted and dropped the puzzle to the floor before running over to the door. "Momma.. Dada.." kenma whispered to the door, knocking hoping they'd let him out the room. Bray heard the puzzle hit the floor, seeing kenma noticed they had left. He slowly made his way to kenma "Hey buddy, what are you doing?" He asked. Kenma looked up with big eyes, he knew bray was okay since mommy and daddy talked to him lots. Kenma knocked on the door again, trying to say he wanted to go out. Bray Bent down "we can go out later, mommy and daddy will be back soon okay?" He explained. Hinata was busy picking up the puzzle for kenma, knowing they had to clean up after themselves. Kenma cuddled his blanket and frowned, kuroo and Lev did this to him yesterday but they had come back so it must of been true. Kenma went back on his way to play with hinata, holding his blanky close. Hinata put the puzzle on the table. "All done, wan play cars?" Hinata asked, pointing over to the cars and the mat that had a road printed on it. Kenma looked around and nodded, letting hinata hold his hand and lead him over to play. Bray smiled, it was good kenma knew hinata. Kenma kneeled down and started to suck his thumb, feeling a little more nervous since kuroo and Lev weren't close by. Hinata grabbed some cars out, trying to give one to kenma. The child turned his shoulder away from it, sucking his thumb and fidgeting with his blanky. Bray saw kenma was sucking his thumb, normally he would explain how they don't put fingers in their mouth and about the yucky germs. Bray left it though, it was kenmas first day and he was learning to soothe himself. Hinata placed the car next to kenma in case he changed his mind. Playing on the mat hinata made beeping noises and other car noises, being very gentle with the toys. Kenma watched, sucking his thumb more. Kenma looked at the door every time it opened, only to see more adults with kids. The room now had all the kids, lots of noises and play happening around the room. Kenma started to back up as kids came over to the mat to play with cars as well. He got up off his knees, standing and watching while his thumb refused to leave his mouth. Piper entered the room to start the day, seeing kenma standing back and observing while he suckled his thumb and caressed his blanky in his hand made her heart melt. Slowly she came over and kneeled down in front of kenma "Hey darling, wanna come play cars?" She asked. kenma ignored her at first, after a moment giving a small nod. She smiled "Okay, let's go." She said, standing up and holding her hand out. Kenma took his thumb from his mouth, holding her hand and walking over. Piper kneeled down, letting kenma sit next to her. "What's her name?" A child asked curiously, pointing straight to kenmas face. Kenma put his thumb back in his mouth, finding it comforting right now. "That's kenma, kenmas a boy." She explained. The child gave kenma a funny look. "But she has long hair" He pointed out. "Boys can have long hair and girls can have short hair." Piper added. The child gave a confused look but nodded. Kenma looked to piper, not liking how close the other children were to him. "What's wrong kenma?" She asked. At those words kenma couldn't contain himself, removing his thumb from his mouth and crying. The other children stopped and watched. "They crying." A child pointed out, making sure piper was aware. Hinata stopped playing and frowned, standing up and moving near kenma. "Its okay kenma, let's go find a quiet area." Piper suggested. Bray came over "everything okay?" He asked, watching as she led kenma away by the hand with hinata following. "Yes, just a bit overwhelmed with all the kids around him." She explained. Piper took kenma over to the drawing table where no kids sat. "You can draw daddy's a picture?" She spoke softly to kenma, pointing to the crayons. Kenma cried into his blanky and kept hold of her hand, trying to calm himself down. Hinata stood in front of kenma again "wan draw dinos?" He asked, tilting his head to try and look at kenma better. Kenma started to sniffle and nodded, sitting down as piper pulled out a seat for him. Hinata smiled and sat with kenma, putting the crayons between them to share. Kenma rubbed his eyes and looked at the table, lots of coloured paper and crayons to pick from. Kenma sniffled once and pointed to his shirt to show hinata, starting to calm down. "I love Dino like that." Hinata said, looking closely at kenmas shirt. Kenma nodded, hugging his blanky and letting hinata put paper in front of him. Hinata put a crayon on kenmas page before starting to draw his own picture. Kenma picked it up, starting to draw on the paper quietly. This seemed to settle the boy, tears had faded and he was now concentrating on his drawing. Bray opened the bathroom door and went in to check the toileting list, writing down all the children's names. "Hinata and kenma, can you come to the bathroom please?" Bray asked, writing on the toileting chart. Hinata put his crayon down and stood up. "You coming Ken?" Hinata asked, starting to walk over. Kenma heard his name and looked around, eyes landing on bray. Kenma shook his head at hinatas words, putting his eyes down to continue to draw. Hinata shrugged it off, going into the bathroom like he was asked.  Bray noticed it was only hinata who came over and not kenma "where's kenma?" He asked hinata, looking down at the boy. "Table, he dun need to go." He informed bray, going into the tiny stalls that had no doors. Bray put the chart down and closed the bathroom half down, going over to kenma. "Hey kiddo, want to come to the bathroom with hinata?" He asked. Kenma didn't look up, shaking his head and continuing to draw. Bray couldn't force kenma to go. "Alright, you tell me or piper if you need to go okay." He said, getting a weak nod back. Bray went over and put a R under kenmas name in the 8-9am slot, the R standing for Refused. Hinata finished up and washed his hands, walking back over and sitting down. Kenma finished his drawing and held it up to show hinata, he was very proud. "Ah I love Dino!" Hinata told kenma. "Put its in your bag take home." He told kenma, pointing over to the bags. Kenma rubbed his eyes shyly and shook his head, he didn't want to do it alone. Hinata got and held his hand out to kenma, leading him over to help. Hinata unzipped the bag, taking the paper and rolling it up for kenma. Hinata handed it back, letting kenma put it in the bag before zipping it up. "Mh thirsty, come have drink" hinata said, skipping his way over to the table where they kept the water bottles on. Kenma stood and watched hinata get his own water bottle and have a big drink. "Where kenmas?" He asked, panting out after his big drink. Kenma pointed to the sippy cup, knowing it was his. Hinata handed it to kenma, putting his own water bottle back. Kenma put his blanky on the ground, grabbing his sippy with both hands and having a big drink himself. When kenma took a breath he noticed it wasn't juice and was only water, frowning and putting it back. Kenma didn't understand why daddy wouldn't give him juice sippy, he always had juice sippy and rarely was given just water. Hinata smiled, knowing he was being a good friend by helping kenma on his first day. Piper went over and put the clean up song on the ipad, the children stopped and started to pack away. Hinata took kenmas hand "Come put crayons away." Hinata told kenma, walking over to the table. Kenma watched hinata clean up for a moment, offering help by handing hinata a couple of crayons. Once they cleaned up hinata sat down at the table with kenma, knowing it was time for morning tea. Kenma watched as kids began to sit around them once the song ended, sitting low in his own chair. Bray had finished toileting the children and went over to start serving morning tea to the children, putting yogurt in a bowl with blueberries on top. Hinata was excited, wiggling and smiling as he saw bray handing out the bowls with spoons. Kenma noticed they were handing out something, sitting up and waiting patiently. Kenma looked into his bowl as it was put in front of him, he liked yogurt but not the blueberries on top. Hinata thanked bray and started to eat, happily scooping up the blueberries with the yogurt. Kenma leaned over his bowl and looked at it for a bit, looking up as piper handed out the water bottles to them. Kenma didn't even try with his spoon, picking out the blueberries and putting them next to his bowl. Once the bowl only had yogurt in it, kenma began to eat. Using his hand he sucked the yogurt off his fingers. "He not using his spoon!" A child called out to bray, knowing they weren't supposed to do that. Kenma sat low, licking the yogurt off his fingers. Bray looked over, it was true kenma hadn't touched his spoon. Bray Bent down beside kenma, noticing the blueberries beside the bowl. "Here kenma, spoon not finger's" Bray explained, picking up the spoon and assisting kenma to hold it properly in his hand. Kenma let him, kuroo would do the same thing. Kenma slowly lowered his spoon into the bowl, picking it up and dropping most of it in his lap and around his face. At this point it was all over kenmas face and hands, even the tip of kenmas nose was covered with yogurt. Bray and piper looked between each other, all the other kids ate the yogurt just fine, a couple with it around their mouths or a drop on their shirt. Piper came over, kneeling down beside kenma "is that yummy?" She asked. Kenma nodded and continued to lick the yogurt off the spoon. Piper smiled, letting kenma finish. "He made mess" a girl pointed out, seeing it was on the table and kenmas face and shirt. Piper nodded "That's okay, we will clean it up." She explained. Kenma finished most of it and started to cough, not covering his mouth and leaning over his bowl. "Here kenma, big drink." She said, putting kenmas sippy to his mouth. Kenma held onto the sippy, having a big drink so he could wash the yogurt down. Kenma coughed a couple more times, taking a few deep breaths and rubbing the yougurt off his nose.  Piper smiled, signing finished to the boy. Kenma gave an unsure look but motioned the hand sign back to piper, going to stand up from the table. Piper stopped kenma "here, let's clean you up first" she suggested, taking a wipe from bray as he came around wiping up small spills. Kenma stood very still, beginning to fuss and turn his head as piper wiped his face clean. Kenma tried to run, his wrist being held as she started to clean his hands up.  Kenma finally tugged his hand away and stepped back, giving a hiss. Piper couldn't believe kenma had hissed, it was unusual for a child to Do. Bray heard it too, raising an eyebrow at the child. Kenma knew he had done something wrong, his facial expression softening and lowering his head. Bray came over and bent down in front of kenma "its okay kenma, can I clean your shirt and pants up please?" Bray asked calmly, pulling out another wipe. Kenma didn't respond, keeping his head down. Bray slowly cleaned up kenmas shirt and pants, leaving only a small stain of yogurt behind on the childs collar of his shirt. Kenma refused eye contact with bray, watching as bray took the bowl and his sippy to clean up from the yogurt. Hinata finished his yogurt, getting up and taking the bowl to the bin. He scraped the rest in before putting it in the dirty dish container. Hinata skipped his way over to kenma, smiling and waiting for kenma to want to play again. Kenma stayed where he had been cleaned up, looking back to the door to check for kuroo and Lev. "Ahhh wanna play blocks?" Hinata asked, pointing over to the small mat that had blocks laid out across it. Kenma didn't answer but let hinata lead him over, keeping his eyes to the ground. Hinata sat down on the mat, making kenma sit right beside him. He started by offering kenma blocks, leaving them right in front of kenma in case he changes his mind. Kenma watched the blocks begin to pile in front of him, it was very tempting to knock them over but he resisted. "Kenma, do you need to go to the bathroom kiddo?" Bray asked as he opened the door for another child to go. Kenma didn't answer, ignoring bray completely. Bray sighed and put an R in the 9am-10am slot under kenmas name, he was starting to question if kenma would just refuse him all day. Kenma noticed there was no pressure from Bray to go to the bathroom, only being asked once and then left alone to play. Kenma found that interesting, bray never really forced him to do anything he didn't want to. Kenma began helping stack the blocks, his thumb going back into his mouth. Hinata smiled, glad kenma decided to join in. The boys stacked until the blocks fell over, both letting out a giggle and grabbing the blocks to stack again. Kenma finally took his thumb from his mouth, using both hands to stack. The boys played together nicely, silent apart from a couple of giggles and squeals. " You ready to come do painting hinata and kenma?" Bray asked, taking the water colour over to the table. Hinata got up quick "Yeah!" He called out. Kenmas eyes were set on the pretty watercolour tray, he never had done painting before. The child stood up with mesmerised eyes, following bray over to the table. Bray smiled, putting the water colour tray down and a cup of water to rinse the paintbrush after each use. Kenma stood behind the chair watching, hand grabbing at his crotch once or twice while his feet became slightly restless. Bray raised an eyebrow, noticing kenma was very focused on the water colour tray. "Kenma?" Bray asked, bending down in front of kenma. The child finally looked at him, no expression attached. "Do you need to go bathroom before you paint?" He asked calmly. Kenma shook his head, standing now still behind the chair. "Are you sure?" He questioned, noticing kenma refused to move anymore. Kenma nodded, pulling the chair out and taking a seat. Bray couldn't force kenma, sighing and sitting down. He thought maybe kenma was just fiddling with his pants, or excited to paint and really didn't need to go. Kenma needed to go a little, a small pressure pressing but it was easy enough to ignore. Hinata sat next to kenma, a big smile on his face as bray put some paper in front of them. Kenma saw the flat paper, putting his hand flat on it and staring. Bray gave a small smile, wetting the paint brushes and handing them over to the boys to use. Kenma didn't understand, taking the wet paint brush and putting it straight on the paper, dotting it around. Bray leaned over "kenma, put it in the colour" bray encouraged, helping kenma hold the paint brush better and dab it to pick up colour. Kenma watched intrigued, the colour soaking into his paint brush. Kenma had a tiny smile as he began to paint on his page, sticking to one colour. Hinata was focused, washing the paint brush between each colour change. Kenma filled most of his page up before looking at his hand and then to the paint brush, slowly starting to paint his hand. Bray raised an eyebrow as kenma giggled and squirmed around in his chair, the paint brush tickling kenmas palm. Bray chuckled, leaning over and stopping kenma. "Okay, no more buddy. On the paper please." He explained, pointing to the paper on the table. Kenma did what he was told, continuing to paint the whole page. Once the page was full, kenma had a better look at the end of the paint brush. The bristles looked smooth, the blue colour almost good enough to- "kenma not in your mouth!" Bray spoke quickly, leaning over and pulling it away from kenmas lips. Kenma jumped and held the paint brush tightly, blue on his bottom lip and some in his mouth. Kenma had got a small fright, dropping the paintbrush on the table and wiping at his mouth. The blue smeared slightly, now on his chin. Even hinata had jumped a little, looking over to see bray had stopped kenma. "I'm sorry bud, it's paint. We don't eat paint, it'll make your tummy sore." Bray explained, gently washing the paintbrush and handing it back to Kenma. The boys lip was quivering a little, he hadn't meant to make bray upset with him. Bray didn't look angry though, he looked worried and was offering the paint brush again even after he had done something that wasn't okay. Kenma very hesitantly took the paint brush, dipping it in the purple instead. Kenma kept his lip pouted, very gently adding the purple to his page. Hinata finished up, giving bray the paint brush and holding it up. He had painted him and kenma, smiling big. "Well done hinata, go put it on the rack to dry." Bray told him, giving a smile. Kenma looked at hinatas then at his own, hinatas had detail and meaning to it. Kenmas was just full of water colour with no image drawn, just two colours. Kenma held it up nervously "oh very pretty kenma, go put it on the drying rack with hinata." Bray said, speaking in the same praised tone as hinata. Kenma felt good about his painting now, holding it up again to show bray for more praise. Bray chuckled "yeah, good job bud." He said, then calling over more kids to paint. Kenma stood up and very carefully took his painting over, it was delicate since the paper was overly saturated from all the water colour. Hinata put his on the rack, turning to help kenma. The small boy was so excited and proud of himself he found a sudden burst of pressure in his bladder, his legs quickly crossing over and a hand grabbing his crotch. Kenma almost dropped his painting but hinata caught it. Kenma let go of the painting and held onto his crotch with both hands and uncrossed his legs, shifting his weight slightly to one leg. He knew he had leaked accidentally, the feeling leaving him shortly after. Hinata had barely noticed, too busy putting kenmas picture on the rack. Kenma let go of his crotch and fidgeted with the bottom of his shirt, shyly keeping his eyes down. Bray and piper had been to busy to notice kenmas attempt to stop himself having a small accident. Hinata took kenmas hand "Let's go!" He hummed out, leading kenma around. Kenma let his hand slip between his legs, he hadn't noticed how much of a small accident he had. Kenmas pants were completely damp in the front, his shirt being pulled down constantly by him to hide any evidence and out of nervousness. Kenma quickly removed his hand, he knew it would dry. In kenmas mind he was waiting, waiting for Lev and kuroo to take him to the bathroom down the hall. Hinata stopped at the doll house, eyeing it off a couple of times. Kenma wanted to play with the dolls, stopping and kneeling down. Hinata looked around, no one seemed to care they were boys playing with the dollies. Kenma picked up a doll, putting it in the doll house to play with. Hinata followed, grabbing one and making it walk around the house. Piper was doing the toileting list, it was almost lunch time. "Hinata, kenma. Do you need to go to the toilet?" She asked, clipboard in hand. Hinata dropped the doll and looked up "ah no, after lunch." He said, knowing suga had reminded hinata he should go before having a nap after last time. "Kenma?" She asked, smiling at hinata who picked the doll back up while looking at her to make sure he was allowed to play dollies. Kenma didn't look away from playing, shaking his head and putting the dolly in the bathtub. Piper had a look at the toileting list, hinata had been at 8:45am, that was okay as it was only 10:30am now. She looked a kemmas two Rs under his name at 8:45am and 9:40am, kenma had refused so far each time he'd been asked if he needed to go. It had been 3 hours since kenma had been dropped off, making piper curious if kenma was holding it or didn't need to go. "Are you sure kenma?" She asked, bending down to him. Kenma nodded, again not looking at her. "your tummy is going to get sore if you aren't going toilet kenma." She explained. Kenma put a hand to his shirt, remembering how bray said eating paint could make his tummy sore and now piper was telling him not going toilet was also going to give him a sore tummy. Everything seemed to make your tummy sore at daycare. "Would you like to go try kenma?" She offered, getting another firm head shake. "Okay, you tell bray or me if you do need to go and we can help." She explained, getting back up going around to other children. Kenma now had three Rs under his name, 8-9am 9-10am and 10-11am. Kenma pulled down the front of his shirt as she walked away, making sure it hadn't been seen. Kenma went back to playing, pretending to bath the doll and make it sit on the couch hinata played too, pretending to be a daddy looking after kenmas dolly. Kenma shifted a couple of times, wiggling around while on his knees. Hinata was too busy playing to notice. Every so often kenmas doll would stop moving, freezing up as he noticed he was leaking a little whenever he got too engrossed in playing. Kenma grabbed his crotch and continued to play, letting go when he noticed hinata had saw him hold himself. Hinata stopped playing for a moment "toilet?" He asked, tilting his head a little. Kenma shook his head and continued to play. Hinata didn't push it this time, it was bray and pipers job to help kenma not him. "Alrighty kids, time to pack up for story time and lunch." Bray called out, the clean up music playing. Hinata stopped and started to pack up the doll house. It took kenma a moment but he put the dolly away, standing up and sucking his thumb. He got worried whenever new instructions were given. Kenma felt his crotch, his pants were very damp and it didn't feel very nice. Kenma sniffled and started to look for his blanky to soothe himself, noticing it was on the bag hook with his backpack. Kenma grabbed it off, cuddling it and standing in the middle of the room as children cleaned. Hinata finished cleaning up the doll house, noticing a small damp spot on the carpet where kenma had been sitting. "Miss piper" Hinata said, tugging at her shirt. Piper looked down "yes darling?" She asked, giving hinata her attention. "There's wet on the carpet." He pointed out, knowing it was very important to tell bray or piper if there was anything wet on the floor or carpet. Piper had a look, the carpet was damp where hinata had pointed out. "Hmm. It's okay, I'll clean it up." She said, going over and grabbing the cloth and spray and scrubbing it. She didn't know if it was water, pee or dribble. Hinata watched, the damp spot fading. Hinata clapped and ran off to bring kenma over to the mat for story time with bray while piper laid out some beds. Kenma let hinata lead him to the mat, sitting down and waiting patiently. Piper had called bray over to talk about the wet spot, just letting him know there was a damp spot found on the carpet. Bray sat down in front of of kids with a book in his lap. Kenma sat slouched, sucking his thumb and blanky in his lap. "Okay senior kindy, before we read our book I need to talk about something. What do we do if we see something wet on the floor or carpet?" He asked the kids. The children put up their hands, some shouting out answers. "I know, tell a teacher!" Hinata added. "That's right, it's important we tell a teacher so no one slips over." He explained. "Why else should we tell a teacher?" He asked "cause could be water bottle spilling!" A child yelled "Yeah that too, another reason is in case it's an accident. Maybe one of your friends might of not made it to the toilet, if you tell the teacher then we can clean it up and help your friend get all cleaned up too." He explained, getting nods back and a few kids trying to answer past questions. Kenma sucked his thumb more, hugging blanky tightly trying to ignore his damp pants. "Its okay if you have but has any of my friends had an accident today?" He asked, just to make sure no child was left in wet clothes. Some kids giggled and shook their heads, kenma didn't answer and sat still. "Hey, I don't think we should laugh.. that could make someone upset, accidents happen and that's okay." Bray explained further. Kids stopped and nodded, a few getting a look from bray to stop the giggling. "Alright, thank you friends for listening and answering." He gave praise, picking up the book and beginning to read. Hinata sat and listened, enjoying the story. Kenmas eyes kept drifting to the door not interested in the book instead, waiting for kuroo and Lev to appear. Once the book was done all the children got up and started to move to the table, ready for lunch. Kenma got up and slowly followed hinata. "There's water on the mat!" A child called out, pointing to the mat where kenmas pee had got the mat damp. Bray quickly came over, no children had water bottles on the mat. "Okay, piper can you clean this? I've got to check now." He explained, leaving piper to clean up the mat. Bray went searching, coming and checking a few children's pants and asking them if they had an accident. Kenma was about to sit when bray came up behind him, noticing the boys pants were in fact very damp. Kenma looked up, sucking his thumb and carrying his blanky. Bray Bent down in front of kenma, being very soft with his actions. Hinata sat down and watched bray, curious what was happening. Bray could smell the urine lingering on kenmas body. "Hey kiddo.. did you have a bit of an accident on the mat?" Bray asked quietly, knowing it had to of been kenma now. Kenma didn't remove his thumb from his mouth, tugging down the front of his shirt. "Its okay, I'm not mad. I think we should go clean up though.. you don't want ouch from wet pants." He explained, very gently pulling kenmas hand away from his mouth. Like a magnet, kenmas thumb shot back into his mouth. He didn't answer, he knew he had been caught though." "Its okay bud. Piper? Can I have kenmas spares please?" He asked, taking kenmas hand and gently leading him to the bathroom.
