    The amount of times he played the part of a father with the agency seemed like a joke the moment he had a child of his own. It was definitely more taxing than he had anticipated. You and him didn't expect that the moment you spent your wedding night, you'd immediately be blessed with a child. Everything happened so quickly. First marriage and suddenly you're both parents in a flash.

    Fukuzawa was still in the haze of finally being married to someone, having Yuu, your son felt like a punch in the gut for him. So many responsibilities at once all so quickly thrown at his face yet he still managed to at least be patient and supportive throughout it all as a responsible adult should.

    "How am I supposed to know what he wants all the time?" The man asks while carrying the one year old boy in his arms, who's twirling and pulling at his hair. The question is genuine and serious, he's having a hard time trying to know what his child truly wants so he finds himself doing everything. Feeding, changing the diaper, playing, carrying, and giving a baby toy yet there are still instances where everything seemed to not be the answer.

    Yuu starts to get fussy in his arms. Fukuzawa hums and shushes, attempting to silence and calm the little boy down. "See? He's getting fussy again. I don't know what to do." He sighs, rocking the one year old back and forth in his arms. Looking at you for advice and perhaps even some help on your side.

    He's a man used to the peace and quiet, Fukuzawa's naturally closed off and often only allows a few people in his life. But having a son definitely disrupted his peace, the moment Yuu was born he hasn't experienced an ounce of quietness in his life. The child was loud, energetic and bubbly. The complete opposite of himself, there seems to be a pattern of the people in his life being somewhat opposites with him.
