Stray Kenma

part 20

Kuroo noticed kenma wasn't enjoying the show, flicking through the channels to watch something else. Kenma sat up and pointed to the tv "OP!" He called out, standing up and pointing to the tv more intensely. Kuroo stopped and went back a couple of channels, stopping again when kenma squealed and sat back down to watch. Kuroo raised an eyebrow, it was a boring game review channel. "This? Really?" He asked, kenma didn't respond as he sat with wide eyes looking up at the tv. "Told you he loved games." Lev pointed out. The channel was reviewing pokemon and zelda games. Kuroo didn't see the appeal but left it, seeing as kenma was happy. kenma crawled closer to watch, ignoring his food and sippy.
Kenma babbled and talked gibberish to the tv, almost like he was responding to what they were saying. It had been awhile since kenma went this morning, the sippy lay empty on the ground. "Should we ask him?" Kuroo questioned, kenma was basically glued to the tv. Lev looked up "maybe ?" He also questioned. "Kenma, do you need anything?" Kuroo asked. Kenma looked behind at them and nodded "what is it??" Kuroo asked, ready to get up. Kenma pointed to the games on the tv, babbling and smiling. Kuroo sighed and sat back down properly. "Mhm you tell me or Lev if you need anything." Kuroo reminded. Kenma held up his sippy, he was thirsty again. "Okayy" kuroo said, not sure how the child could fit a whole sippy of juice in him. Kuroo brought back the full sippy, handing it down to kenma. The child smiled and shoved it to his mouth, having a big drink. "How does he do it? He's full of juice, where does he store it?" Lev asked. Kuroo shrugged, he knew kenma could hold a lot if he really put his mind to it. By time kenma finished his second sippy he was feeling it, pressure in his lower tummy. The child didn't want to go yet, not until the show was over. Kuroo tapped levs arm as kenma started to wiggle, still focusing on the show. "Kenma" kuroo called. The child ignored him, too busy watching what was on. Kenma held his crotch and watched, not taking his eyes from the tv. The poor child was full on juice, his bladder paying the price of his mindless sipping. "Kenma, do you need anything?" Lev asked. "uck off!" Kenma shouted at Lev, he was distracting him from his show. Kuroos jaw dropped, he never heard kenma swear like that on purpose. Lev was blank, a four year old had just told him to fuck off. "Oh my kenma, bad words." Kuroo said. Kenma poked his tongue out and started to spit, his reacted to knowing he had done something wrong. Kuroo wasn't having it, turning the tv off. Kenma went wide eyed, standing up and pointing to the tv to say it was off. "Yep. Gone, no more." Kuroo said. Kenma grabbed hold of his crotch and started his tantrum, screaming and jumping up and down on the spot. Kuroo ignored it for a moment "you need to say sorry to lev" kuroo spoke firmly. Kenma stopped screaming and jumping, looking down and trying to cross his legs over but it was too late. The urine started to go all over kenmas pants and the floor, a little stunned kenma let go of his crotch and stood with his feet apart watching it. Kuroo sighed followed by Lev, kenmas juice filled tummy was now emptying all over the carpet. Kenma saw his pants, completely soaked. Kenma remembered Mr Dino, looking down shyly and standing with his legs wide apart. "Uh oh kenma. Big wee on the floor." Kuroo pointed out. Kenma covered his eyes and shook his head with a whine, he didn't like having an accident in front of them during a tantrum. "Kenma should of stopped and gone potty" kuroo explained. Kenmas mood changed "UH!" He cried out, throwing himself to the floor in his accident. Kuroo sighed "kenma, we aren't mad. Just come change" kuroo suggested. Kenma laid on his tummy and kicked his legs, becoming frustrated with himself. Lev decided it was time to take over "kenma, let's go find Mr Dino. We can wash the ones you're wearing now" Lev explained. Kenma sniffled and gave a frustrated cry before pushing himself up and rubbing his eyes. Lev took the child by the hand and walked to his room. Kenma frowned as Lev redressed him "look at Dino, he's all wet now" Lev pointed out. Kenma refused to look, turning his head away. Once dressed kenma went back out the room, into the lounge room. Kuroo had cleaned up the carpet since Lev dealt with kenmas clothes. Kenma shyly walked into the lounge room, standing next to where kuroo had just finished cleaning up. "Did you say sorry to Lev?" Kuroo asked. Kenma frowned and went off again, hugging tightly into levs leg. "Mh sowy mama.." kenma whispered, knowing he had said a word he that made adults angry when he would say it. Lev bent down and gave kenma a quick cuddle "I know, but no more bad words." He told him, pulling from the hug. Kenma looked down at the ground and had a good think about it, slightly nodding and walking off. Kuroo had the tv on to try again, he knew that kenma must of had the accident because the tv was a distraction along with him going into a small temper tantrum. Kenma sat back down and sucked his thumb quietly, looking up at the tv. Kuroo stopped the child, pulling the pacifier out his pocket and placing it in kenmas mouth. The child chewed on it and remained calm while focusing on the show, not even wanting to play with his toys. Kuroo sat down to watch over him while Lev went to make lunch for them, settling on some sandwhiches and fruit on the side. Kenma yawned and rubbed his eyes, it was only 11:00am and he was already craving a nap. "Come eat" Lev said, coming in to get them. Kenma stared dully at the tv, too tired to focus on what they were saying. Kuroo stood up and retrieved kenmas sippy, holding a hand out for the child to take. Kenma looked up with tired eyes, getting up and walking with kuroo to the kitchen. Kuroo picked kenma up and put him on the seat, gasping and grabbing hold of him as he almost fell off the chair. Levs heart dropped a little "kenma.. you gotta stay up a little longer." Lev encouraged. Kenma fussed and squirmed on the seat to get off. Kuroo didn't want kenma to fall off, placing the boy in his lap to eat. Kenma settled, grabbing a chunk of the apple and sucking on it before chewing. Lev took the sippy and filled it with juice, this being kenmas 3rd one of the day. Kenma leaned back against Kuroo and had a big drink, coughing and putting it down. Kuroo smiled, starting to eat his own food. Kenma picked at his sandwich, fussing and pushing away what he didn't want. Kenma suckled his sippy as his eyelids started to get far too heavy, drooping down his head and barely holding onto his sippy. "Well.. I think its nap time." Kuroo whispered, standing up and carrying kenma to bed. Kuroo laid kenma down, the child fussed and started to pull at his pants. Kuroo raised an eyebrow as kenma started to try and pull them off. Kuroo decided to help, taking the pants off the sleepy boy. Kenma settled and curled up, yawning and starting to fall asleep. Kuroo folded the pants up, putting them on the end of the bed before covering kenma up with his cat plush and blanky. Kuroo came back out to help Lev wash up from lunch, taking the plates to the sink. "hes out, poor kiddo. He's so tired all the time." Kuroo said with a sigh. Lev glanced him "mhm well actually, babies sleep alot to process information and what they've been learning.. maybe it's the same thing? He's learning so much stuff with us and we keep enforcing it, it's a lot to take in for a four year old who doesn't know right from wrong." Lev explained, washing the plates. Kuroo shrugged but nodded, in a way that made sense to him. Once they finished cleaning up they went back to the lounge room, to enjoy some tv they actually liked. It was around just over an hour when kenma started to stir in his sleep, giving a fuss as he tossed side to side trying to get comfortable. Kenma stopped when he laid on his tummy, the pressure of laying on his bladder finally letting it release slowly. Lev got up "we should wake him" he mentioned, going off to do so. Kuroo frowned "Okay but bring him to me for a cuddle." Kuroo insisted. Lev entered kenmas room, seeing the child was settled on his tummy. He came over and kissed the child on the side of the face, gently starting to pull the blankets off him. Kenma fussed and shook his head, he was half asleep and didn't want to wake up. Lev gasped a little, kenma was laying in a puddle. Lev picked the child up and put him to the side. "Buddy, you went pee during your nap." He pointed out. Kenma was too tired to listen, standing with his eyes closed as his bladder continued to empty itself on the ground before sitting down since he felt too tired to stand. Lev didn't notice this, taking the things off kenmas bed and putting them to the side. Kenma felt his feet were wet and his legs, letting out a distressed sound and grabbing his crotch to feel it. Lev looked over and went wide eyed, the puddle under kenma was almost as big as the one on the bed. "Buddy.." Lev said, knowing it must of just happened because the bed was still wet and not damp. Kuroo didn't know why kenma hadn't been brought to him yet, standing up and going to find out. He stopped in the door and looked in, urine on the mattress protector, sheets, the ground and kenma. "Oh" kuroo said, watching Lev try his best to clean up the bed. "Hes peed everywhere." Lev stated, picking the sheets up. Kenma rubbed his eyes and looked down, he felt gross in his cooling urine. Kuroo came in and ran his hand through kenmas hair "oh bub, did you go wee on your bed and the floor?" Kuroo asked, holding kenmas hand to pull him up and taking him over to the cupboard. Kenma gave hazy eyes and nodded, still a bit out of it. "All your dinos are wet kenma.. you'll need to pick a different pair" kuroo told the child. Kenma furrowed his eyebrows and looked down, sure enough his Dino undies were wet like when he felt them. Kuroo looked at the time, it was 12:34pm. It was afternoon, they had normally been putting the pull up on after nap or bath but today was different. Kuroo understood they had to get through the hard part of toileting kenma in the afternoon. Kuroo grabbed out the training pants, they were thicker and looked to be slightly more absorbent. "Alright, time to change" kuroo spoke softly, taking off the childs beloved dinosaur undies. Kenma let out a small sobbed noise, not wanting kuroo To take his last Dino. "Its okay kiddo, we can wash Dino." He spoke softly. Kenma was still upset, stepping into his training pants and coughing. Kuroo pulled them up, they looked comfy and had an adorable design. The child could feel the thickness between his legs, pulling them apart to have a look after sniffling. Kuroo wiped kenmas tears "it's alright, mommy and daddy are here to help." Kuroo whispered to the child. Kenma sniffled and felt them again. "How about some pants?" Kuroo asked. Kenma shook his head, looking down at the pretty space pattern. "That's okay, let's go bub" kuroo told the child, it was one less thing to wash if kenma did have an accident this afternoon. Kuroo picked kenma up for a snuggle, the child latching on and wrapping himself around kuroo. Lev finished putting the wet sheets and undies on from kenmas nap. "Wheere are your pants Mr?" Lev asked, coming over and tickling into kenmas side. The child fussed and put his hand up to say stop, he didn't want to be tickled. Lev stopped immediately, taking a step back. "Oh sorry bud.." he spoke with a frown. Kuroo was extremely proud of kenma for using his actions "well done kenma, good boy for telling." Kuroo spoke, kissing kenma on the top of the head. "He didn't want them on." Kuroo explained for kenma, rubbing a hand over kenmas back as the boy lowered his hand again. Lev nodded and gave kenma more of the space he had shown he wanted with him, sitting down on the couch. "So.. no pull ups this afternoon?" Lev asked kuroo, considering that's what they had been doing. Kuroo shook his head "mh no, he needs to start going in the afternoon. Hes at daycare at that time after rest and he can't be reliant on them." Kuroo explained. "I think its best if we cut down to pull ups just at night before bed." Kuroo mumbled, he hadn't wanted the child to have them to begin with but they were helpful and had saved them a couple of times from having to clean up wet sheets and clothes. Lev understood and nodded, with kenma going to school next year he needed to not rely on them. "I put his sheets and clothes in the wash and cleaned the floor in his room.." Lev mentioned. Kuroo sighed and nodded, rubbing a hand down kenmas back as the child snuggled closer. "Shouldn't of filled him up on juice before his nap." Kuroo admitted, having not even taken the boy to the toilet as he'd been so tired. Lev agreed, turning the show off they had on. Kenma sat up finally and looked at kuroo with big eyes. "What do you want darling?" Kuroo asked, brushing kenmas hair out his face. Kenma looked down and shrugged, now he was waking up he wasn't sure he wanted kuroo and Lev to see him in his training pants. "Want to go potty?" Kuroo suggested, getting a firm no back. Kenma mumbled incoherently, pointing to his training pants. "Hm? What's wrong with your training pants?" Kuroo asked. Kenma tugged his sweater over the top of them and shook his head. "You don't want?" Kuroo asked. Kenma whined and crawled backwards out of kuroos lap, going and slipping in behind the couch. Kuroo frowned, not sure why he was hiding all of a sudden. Kenma curled up, squished behind the couch. Lev stood up and looked behind the couch against the wall, kenma had really pushed himself tightly between the wall and the couch. "What's he doing?" Lev asked, confused on the behaviour. Kuroo shrugged, standing up and having a look to. Kenma covered his eyes, fussing a little. "Kenma, come tell daddy what's wrong." Lev suggested, pointing to kuroo. Kenma nodded, trying to crawl out but was stuck. He went straight to panic, fussing and trying to get free. Kuroo felt bad and started to pull the couch off the wall so the child could get back out. Kenma gave a cry and crawled out, giving grabby hands to kuroo to pick him up. Kuroo cuddled the scared boy and picked him up, letting him hold onto him for dear life. "What were you doing bubby?" Kuroo asked, letting Lev push the couch against the wall again. Kenma clung to kuroo, not answering his question. "Shh you're okay.." kuroo whispered, bouncing kenma slightly in his arms. Kenma sniffled and closed his eyes, laying his head on kuroos shoulder. "Hes alright yeah? Not hurt?" Lev asked, hoping kenma didn't pinch his fingers or bruise up from getting stuck. Kuroo nodded, kenma looked fine. "Alright, no more hiding behind the couch Mr.." kuroo said, sitting down on the couch with kenma in his lap. "Bot.." kenma whispered in a whine, opening his eyes and giving grabby hands to Lev. Kuroo thought it was far too early for that. "How about some juice and water?" Kuroo suggested. Kenma whined but nodded, he wasn't going to waste The opportunity for juice since Lev and kuroo never gave him this much in a day. Kuroo cuddled the child while Lev went to get him a sippy filled with watered down juice. Kenma tugged down the front of his sweater, he liked his training pants but was embarrassed to let kuroo and Lev see them right now since he knew they were padded like his drynites. "What's wrong? Potty?" Kuroo asked, kenma shook his head and pulled down more. "Kenma.. you know when your tummy gets sore down low, that probably means it's time to go potty." Kuroo tried to explain. Kenma shook his head, he didn't really feel like he needed to go. "Tell me what you're after please kenma" kuroo asked. Kenma looked down and shrugged, mumbling to himself. Kuroo sighed, he wished kenma was more fluent with his speech so they could help him straight away. Lev brought in the sippy, handing it down to kenma. The child took it and laid his back against kuroo, wanting to watch TV. Kuroo smiled and flicked through the channels, stopping on the kids channel. Kenma watched happily, drinking his juice and wiggling to the songs and shows. After awhile kenma started to get up and dance along, giggling with uncoordinated moves. Kuroo chuckled and watched, nudging at Lev to watch too. "Oh that's too cute." Lev said, sitting up and watching kenma jump around and shake and clap his hands. Kenma stopped, frozen for a moment. Kenma knew he had padding in his training pants, thinking it was okay to use it without consequences. As kenma froze he let himself urinate, nothing happened for all of 3 seconds. Kuroo and Lev watched, confused at the frozen Child. Kenma looked down as the padding couldn't hold anymore, it leaking down his legs and onto the floor. Kuroo sighed, kenma was aware of his accident since he had stopped dancing to do it. Kenma was mortified, now learning his training pants were not for full accidents. Kenma finished up his accident, bending down and trying to wipe the urine off his legs. Lev stood up "kenma, why didn't you stop dancing to go potty?" Lev questioned. Kenma fidgeted with his sweater and shrugged, he didn't have a good answer. "Your training pants are soaked" Lev pointed out, seeing as they heavily leaked and puddled at kenmas feet. Kenma looked down, lifting his sweater to see it was true. "Time for change" Lev said, holding his hand out for kenma. The boy pouted and felt at his training pants. "Wee.." he told Lev, holding his hand and walking with him. "Yep, wee. You need to be doing wee on the potty." Lev went on, taking kenma back to his room to change. Kuroo got up, starting to clean the urine on the ground. Potty training had been a bit of a fail, kenma had only successfully used the toilet once this morning, well almost successfully since he had fallen in. Kenma went into his room, standing and waiting for help. Lev picked out some new black training pants and shorts to go over the top. Kenma clapped, finally he got some shorts like he had wanted. Lev raised an eyebrow, laying the clothes down and helping kenma change. Kenma felt the training pants once they were on, he was still getting used to the feeling of them and the padding. "They aren't made for doing wee in, they are just there to help you not make so much of a mess if you do wee." Lev finally explained. Kenma nodded and let Lev put his pants on, that made more sense now. "Let's go now, try this again." Lev said, leading kenma back out. Today had been a real indication of where kenma was with toileting, the more he drank the more accidents he was having. Lev let the child sit on the mat with some of his toys, including his blocks. Kuroo watched Lev sat back down, it had been a busy day with toileting and it wasn't even over yet. "Hes gone once in the toilet and had three accidents.." kuroo pointed out. "Well technically, I wouldn't count wetting the bed. Though, he did stand beside the bed and fini- oh yeah maybe." Lev said, knowing kenma was awake when it was happening. It was now just past 1pm kenma sucked his thumb and stacked the blocks, concentrating on doing it in different colours. Kuroo stood and came to sit with kenma, removing the child's thumb from his mouth and slipping in the pacifier. "Hes been sucking his thumb so much lately." Lev made a point. Kuroo nodded and started handing kenma blocks. "Its cute but yeah, a habit he needs to grow out of." Kuroo spoke back, he didn't want kenma to ruin his teeth. Kenma kept stacking, he liked that kuroo was helping him. It didn't last long as the child became aware that his bladder was pressing, trying to ignore it after the liquid he had been drinking through the day wasn't finished going through him. Kenma grabbed his crotch with one hand and stacked, paying close attention so he didn't knock it over. Kuroo saw kenma holding himself, it was finally time and he had enough time to catch it before an accident. "Kenma, potty. You're holding it in." Kuroo pointed out. Kenma looked down, it was true. Kenma gave a whine, not wanting to go to the toilet yet. Kuroo stood up, holding his hand out. "Let's go quick, you don't want to go pee in your pants again." Kuroo said a little frantic. Lev sat up, he wanted kenma to go properly this time. Kenma fussed and laid on the ground, twisting his legs around each other. "No, you're going to go potty. Let's go." Kuroo said, picking the child up. Kenma thought about it, shaking his head lots. Kenma didn't know how to tell them that falling in the toilet had scared him a little, now having to face it he didn't feel confident. As kuroo picked him up and placed him on his feet kenma fussed more, forcing his hand out of kuroos and throwing himself to the ground. Kenma felt his training pants were getting wet, it was starting to happen. Kuroo went wide eyed "quick quick, let's go!" Lev said, knowing the face kenma would make right before he knew he was going to have an accident. At this point there was no will to hold it, laying down and peeing his pants. Lev flopped backwards into the couch, he was losing hope fast. "Kenma.. right. Do you need to go back into diapers??" Kuroo asked firmly. Kenma looked kuroo in the eyes, he'd only just got out of diapers recently since everyone had never properly trained him. Toileting had been hard at the orphanage, as soon as he was put in undies he was expected to be like the other kids. He wasn't supposed to have accidents, wet the bed and only go when they were told they could, these things really didn't help a child toilet training. Kenma furrowed his eyebrows and gave a nod, his bottom lip quivering in fear. Kuroo frowned, he hadn't meant to upset kenma like that. "Oh bud no.. you're too big for diapers.." kuroo spoke calmly, helping kenma to his feet. Kenma started to cry, rubbing at his eyes. He didn't like having accidents but his toileting had never been so consistent until with kuroo and Lev, at this point they would of thrown kenma back into a diaper or made him stay in the wet clothes so both ways they didn't have to deal with changing the child frequently. Lev sighed softly, something obviously wasn't working here. "Maybe we are pushing too much.. we should of just went about our normal day for toileting. Hyping him up on juice didn't seem to help in anyway." Lev said. Kuroo shook his head "no, each time kenmas becoming more aware of his body telling him he needs to go and then picking up on his own accidents." Kuroo told Lev. If kenma wasn't aware of what it felt like to need to go, then he wouldn't gain anything from it and he knew kenma could understand what it felt like when he did need to go but it was just the point of reinforcing it. Lev sighed and nodded, that did make sense to him. Lucky it had only been a small accident, his training pants and shorts absorbing it all so it didn't really go on the carpet this time. Kuroo helped kenma back to the room, assisting in changing his wet clothes. "Kenma, I'm sorry for making you upset. I didn't mean to say that to you. Kenma doesn't need diapers." Kuroo explained. Kenma sniffled and nodded, it seemed no matter how many accidents he had that kuroo and Lev weren't going to make him stay in wet clothes or give up and put him in a pull up. "Dada.." kenma mumbled a little, rubbing his eyes. "What is it buddy?" Kuroo asked, pulling up kenmas clean training pants and shorts. Kenma shrugged "mh meow" He whispered. Kuroo was confused "meow?" He asked. Kenma nodded slightly. "Why- what meow?" Kuroo asked. "Titty tat.." kenma whispered, looking kuroo in the eyes. "You want your cat?" Kuroo questioned. "Meow.." kenma said nodding. "Oh I see, cat has a name now." Kuroo said with a smile, ruffling kenmas hair and grabbing the plush cat off the bed and handing it to the child. Kenma took it and fidgeted with its tail, keeping his eyes down. "I.. ig boy.." he whispered to kuroo, wanting him to know that he wouldn't need the diapers. Kuroos heart melted, bending down and offering a cuddle. "I know bubby, youre so brave and try really hard to be a big boy." Kuroo whispered back. Kenma looked at kuroo with sad eyes and felt his training pants through his shorts, a small pout appearing on his face. Kuroo sighed "I know bud, you'll get used to them. I think they'll help." Kuroo said, standing up and holding his hand out to kenma. The child nodded and kept his pout, holding kuroos hand and cuddling meow. Lev perked up to see them back, he hoped kenma was feeling better about toileting right now. "Oh you've brought a friend" Lev hummed, seeing the plush cat. Kenma held it up "meow" He told Lev, letting kuroo help him onto the couch to sit next to Lev. "Yeah, cat says meow" Lev said, patting the cat. Kenma tugged it away, holding it under his arm. "Nuh- meow.." kenma told Lev, wanting Lev to use its proper name. Kuroo bent down in front of kenma sitting on the couch. "Its name is meow" kuroo explained, waiting for the child to look him in the eyes. "Ohh okay, sorry meow." Lev spoke calmly. Kenma gave a sigh, putting the cat in his lap and looking at kuroo finally. "Dada" kenma said, leaning forward and touching at kuroos face. Kuroo smiled, holding onto his hands to lower them away from making him contort expressions. "Kenma bub" kuroo said, wanting kenma to know he needed to talk with him about something important. Kenma stopped, letting kuroo hold his hands down gently. "You have daycare tomorrow.. will you go potty for bray and piper?" Kuroo questioned, looking the child in the eyes. Kenma froze, looking down "mh go wees in p- ants" kenma managed out, wanting to tell kuroo what he had done yesterday at daycare. Kuroo wasn't expected almost a complete sentence out of kenma, rubbing over the back of kenmas hand with his thumb. "Wow, good job using your words. It's okay you did wee in your pants at daycare but maybe next time let's tell a teacher." Kuroo encouraged. "Ah potty?" Kenma asked, tilting his head. Kuroo nodded "Yeah, you try to make it to the potty and if not they will clean you up darling." Kuroo explained. Kenma shrugged, pulling his hand away to put his fingers in his mouth. He really did want to do well, it was just tricky being so shy and soft spoken at times. "Its okay, we will work on it." Kuroo spoke calmly. "Ah hinta?" He asked. Kuroo smiled and nodded "Yeah, I think he goes everyday" kuroo informored. Kenma didn't take his fingers out his mouth, smiling and nodding. Kuroo was in awh at kenma. "Movie and cuddle?" Kuroo asked, hoping kenma wouldn't mind some affection. Kenma nodded and bounced where he sat. "Bwanky, illows, Dada, Momma!" Kenma babbled out, pointing to both of them. Kuroo kissed the childs forehead "Yep! I'll go get us stuff to get comforty." Kuroo said standing back up. Kenma clapped and cuddled meow very tightly, shuffling over to sit up against Lev. Lev smiled, kenma had done well using his words. The more time kenma spent with them, the more comfortable he was getting with using his words even when they were hard to understand. Lev watched kenma snuggle into his side, smiling and staying still so the child didn't get uncomfortable. Kuroo came back with a blanket, pillows, kenmas blanky and three drinks for them.
