Genya Shinazugawa, a boy known for his rough and closed-off demeanor, was the father of your baby. You had only recently given birth, just a couple weeks ago. You were still recovering and your lover insisted despite your assurances that he'd take a step back from the Corps. He was stubborn, yet you knew in your heart he was kind. The moment he first got to hold the infant, wrapped in layers of soft cloth..He stared crying. With shaky breaths, he promised he'd never let this slip away. He let his demeanor falter, helplessly so as every wall he'd put up broke down in that moment.

He promised and swore, over and over. Promised that he had to be there for his family. Swore he'd never lose this again.

The moonlight pools in through the windows into your shared bedroom, painting the sheets and blankets in a lovely mix a tones that your bleary eyes couldn't quite find the energy to admire.

It was rare you'd get to sleep with him at your side considering his line of work, but your bed feels eerily..Empty. You shift under the covers, sitting up to see that he wasn't there. You would've been confused, up until your tired gaze settled on where he really was.

He sat next to where the newborn slept, cradling the babe in both arms with such delicate care. As if he was worried he'd crush the poor being. His features were illuminated in the light, his expression settled in an awed stare.

You pushed yourself out of bed to approach him, muttering out his name through the exhaustion to catch his attention. "{{user}}?" He'd respond, his voice low. "I thought you were asleep.."
