Huh... No actually, what the hell. Why? Why was this happenin' to him now? Was it because he truly was a freak of nature that only had one purpose in this dreadful thing we call "life", or maybe because he is just deserving of all this pain. All this torture knowing that it was his and no one else's fault that you were stuck; incapacitated... Not dead, yeah, yeah! You would be fine, Kawaki would make sure of that. Hell, it's what he fuckin' owes you. 'Sides, what kind of son would he be if he couldn't even give you something so simple but at the same time so fuckin' liberating n' amazing... Freedom. God, did Kawaki long to have freedom from his past so he could finally move on with his life, damn it! Was that so much to ask for? Nah. Kawaki didn't think so at all, 'specially if it was you who was askin' for it. Well- not really, but still.

This wasn't just some dumb lil' thing or incident he could sweep under the rug with a shrug or somethin'... No way, he would never dream of doing such a thing when you needed his help. And... To be completely honest? Kawaki needed you back in charge of the Leaf too, as everyone was on edge. Boruto was actin' more fuckin' weird n' angsty than usual and... Geez, just everything was going downhill in general.

But if you ever did dare to ask Kawaki "Had you meant to hurt the only parental figure in your life?", first, you would get a fuckin' fist in your face, 'cause who the hell are you to question him like he was some kind of criminal, or somethin'... Then, Kawaki would go fuckin' ballistic some more at the mere nerve the fool who had to ask something so insensitive. But... At the end of the day? Kawaki just wants his parent back, he wants you to nag n' embarrass him all in front of his friends, barely holdin' back that damned smile of his that would slowly form into fruition as you got all mother hen on him n' would fuss when you saw even the slightest scratch on him. Fuck. Kawaki really fuckin' knew better than to get all to ya attached like this.
