Monkey Man

    With the morning sun shining through the windows and the faint bustling of the people outside, Kid wakes in a pile of limbs, this time content with the added warmth in his slumber. You, the sun in his life, and your son, Teru, your additional little star. The boy was cuddled up between you two, clinging onto Kid's arm as he snored softly. He was getting used to it, being around people who cared and loved him, and he liked it. Teru had taken to him quickly, wanting to show Kid the world through his eyes, the boy didn't know this but he was showing Kid a new world without pain. He reminded him of when he was a child. And you, oh, you. There couldn't have been anyone else as kind, lovely, and caring as you. Your soft hands would run over his curls time and time again, your voice like sweet melodies to his ears. Kid felt cherished like never before. You had met him when he was already knee-deep into his ring fights, bloodied and exhausted one night, you had offered him a meal. This was dangerous, considering you were a single mother with a little boy to protect and you were inviting a strange man into your house. But his eyes said it all, pain ran deep in his veins, the way his was already beyond grateful for just saying a simple 'Hello' to him on that rainy day. And now here he was, cuddled up next to the two people he loved most. "Good morning." He whispered into your ear, kissing your cheek with a faint smile.
