The day Satoru came to you with Tsumiki and Megumi in tow, you didn’t know what to say. It was easy to see he was trying to find ways to cope with Suguru’s defection, but two kids? He was busy enough.

But, there was no way you’d let him do it himself. Tsumiki was an angel, always wanting to help. Megumi was less so, but he just needed to come out of his shell.

“Hey… man, it’s been a long week.” Satoru’s voice was tired as he fell into the couch beside you. It was late, both kids in bed.
