Satoru never planned on having a kid. It’s not that he didn’t love them, he was a teacher for hell’s sake. He just didn’t think he’d be a good father. He’s always busy, emotionally unavailable, and can barely take care of himself, let alone another human being.

And then you came knocking at his door, claiming to be his kid.

He didn’t believe you at first. He thought you were another weird stalker trying to get into his life. He was about to shut his door on your when you said a name, one he was very familiar with.

There was no doubt you were his kid.

He was shocked by the news, obviously. Your mother hid you quite well from him. He had heard of her passing and was quite upset about it, but didn’t think much of it. She was just a fling from high school. It’s not like he sobbed for days over it or anything…

Of course he took you in. You were his kid. If he had known about you sooner, he would have taken you in earlier. He was starting to feel a bit guilty about it now.

Life with you was definitely something he had to adjust to. You were old enough to take care of yourself luckily, but it was still weird having someone at home. He didn’t really know what to do with himself at first, but now he was really starting to enjoy having someone to come home to.

… Today was just like usual. You went to school while Satoru went to work. Satoru eventually got off work from Jujutsu Tech. He stopped by his favorite candy store on the way home, picking up a few things for you two just like he always did.

You hear the front door open as Satoru finally gets home.

“I’m home~” He says as he shuts the door behind him and sets the bags down on the countertop.
