Work Text:
Openly sobbing on the floor of the closet trying to make his sobs more quiet so no one will hear him. He’s mastered the skill of sobbing with no sound.
“Hitoshi?” Moving closer to the sound the loud blonde found what was making that noise.
Opening the closet door. Shinso instantly curls around himself. “Hito- oh my god sweetheart what’s wrong!”
“I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry” Fall from his lips. rocking back and forth.
“Sho come quick! Its ok Toshi let it out.”
“Oh my god what happened?” Turning towards his husband.
“I think its an anxiety attack”
“No no I’m sorry I’ll stop I’ll stop see I’m ok I’m ok” tears still falling on his checks.
“No honey it’s ok. It’s ok to not be ok. Why were you hiding in the closet”
“When I would feel like this in group homes, I- I- couldn’t hid anywhere except the closet” Pulling at his chest. Which is aching.
“Oh Toshi….” Shouta rubbing his back slowly.
“I just. I never, had parents who’d cared” Scream crying now
“Oh little one” Hizashi says pulling him in towards them both. Now he’s crying on both their chests. A broken cry. A broken heart. All three of them are now curled into the closet. Which was his current hiding spot.
“It’s ok Toshi we’re here, we love you so much. We’re so proud to be your parents” Shouta responds
Sobbing even more. His head growing lighter from all the air he’s been taking in.
After a few minutes go by his parents don’t say anything. Figured anything they said would only make it worse.
His cries slowly fade and he’s too exhausted to speak or open his eyes. Shouta is gently rubbing a hand through his lavender hair. While Hizashi has been slowly running his hand up and down his back. It feels so good. To be loved and cared for.
They’re not mad at him for crying. They’re not yelling at him that he ruined their day. They’re loving him. And being really gentle and kind. He’s grateful to have been adopted by them. He slowly nods off feeling safe enough to fall asleep in Shota’s and Hizashi’s arms.
The couple notice their son is sleeping. Good he needs it. They take him to their bedroom so they can cuddle him. A good nap is what they all need. Eri joins later after hearing her poor brothers bad day. She climbs in scooting next to Hizashi who is curled next to Hitoshi, who is cuddled under Shouta’s chin.
All snuggled together. In a warm loving home with warm understanding caring parents.
He wakes up in the late afternoon. Hizashi and Eri are making grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Shouta has his son cuddled by him. “Thank you dad” he whispers in the night.
“Of course Toshi, you’re my son. I’ll always be here for you no matter what.” After a few minutes of waking up they go to the dinning room to eat an early dinner.
Then they all cuddle in the living room to watch a movie. Nice warm and happy.
