” where's your dad? „ hiro asks almost instantly. eishi purses his lips and scrunches his nose the same way kenma does ( which effectively make kuroo smile oh so fondly, they really look alike ).
” he's got a cold, couldn't drive us. so my other dad is driving us. you can call
him kuroo or kuro, you choose. „ eishi explains simply, as simply as it is actually.
but it shakes kuroo's world completly. he drives them to the trampoline park, tears in his eyes even as they enter the park and take their reservation.
kuroo calls kenma after a while, when
eishi and hiro are far enough that he can cry on the phone and tell his husband that finally, finally they did it.
little do they know that eishi actually heard them crying together that night, and was particularly shattered to hear his daddy crying so hard. he was thankful
that kuroo was here to comfort him, and eishi knew deep down he didn't hate kuroo, he just was a stubborn little guy.
he didn't regret opening up to kuroo, because kuroo is as fun as kenma told him he was.
” he said i'm his other dad! he said i'm his dad too, kenma! „ kuroo
sobs on the phone, with kenma wetly chuckling, ” i can't believe it... „
and if kenma didn't believe him, well, he can clearly catch onto that ” dad! you gotta try this trampoline with us! „ that eishi throws.
and also onto that, ” jeez, stop crying... you're embarrassing
me... „ that eishi mumbles while he's being smothered in kuroo's arms.
when they get home that night, kenma and eishi talk together. kenma feels better and they've made peace as soon as kenma offered him the skateboard he's been begging for for months now.
” thank you... „
eishi murmurs. the boy is exhausted, he ran around all day, kenma can only expect him to fall asleep quickly.
kenma smiles fondly, caressing eishi's back as the boy lays on his tummy, ” what for, baby? you knew i was going to get you that skateboard anyway... „
” no... for kuro... „ eishi precises with a little frown, ” thank you for letting him in... i'm sorry i was mean to him... „ he also adds, which seems unreal again.
kenma feels himself tearing up but all he does is kiss eishi's cheek, ” of course, you should apologize to him
though, okay? tomorrow? „
eishi nods slowly, and finally drifts off, a plushie that kuroo won for him clutched in his arms, against his chest. kenma heads out and as he closes the door to eishi's bedroom, he sees kuroo sitting on the floor beside it, crying again.
” i freaking love him so much! „ he tells kenma, throwing his arms up as kenma laughs as quietly as he can, ” seriously, i really can't believe how cool he is! „
kuroo looks crazy as he laughs and cries and kicks around happily like he won the lottery. he kisses kenma like
