Chapter 27 - teary

Itsuki cried constantly as Mrs Park took her bags to the door.

Daichi stood with the crying boy in his arms to try and help him calm down which worked up until the point she had her coat on which caused Itsuki's crying to become hysteric.

He let go of Daichi and clung to his grandmother before she had to leave and they shared a long and meaningful hug, as if it were their last.

They exchanged goodbyes, and just like that she was gone.

Itsuki dropped to his knees as he cried out and Daichi instantly went down on the floor with him and pulled him into a hug.

Mrs Park had given Daichi a brief list of things that needed dealing with as she was gone with there being two priorities; picking Minki up when Mrs Park get's told when they can and to make sure Itsuki calms down in the first hour otherwise he'd be bad the whole time she was gone.

Daichi wished the small pup was there to help him out in that moment but he knew he had to deal with it on his own so there was no point in making wishes.

He scooped Itsuki into his lap and the boy cried into his shoulder, clinging onto his back.

Itsuki cried out

"I wan' Grammy~"

Shattering Daichi's heart.

He rubbed comforting circles on Itsuki's back to try and help calm him down and hugged him closer to himself whispering

"I know bud."

Itsuki carried on crying as Daichi just kept trying his best to comfort him and come up with ideas that would make Itsuki feel better.

And MinGenius being the genius he is came up with the perfect solution.

"Why don't we make a small book to show your Granny what we've done when she was gone? It's going to take a lot of work today though so that the cover and the first page is perfect."

Itsuki looked up at him with wide, teary eyes as he processed what Daichi said before slowly nodding and mumbling

"Granny would like that an' so would Minki..."

Daichi smiled and ruffled the others hair before saying

"We best get started then shouldn't we?"

Itsuki nodded and jumped up from the other boys lap, pulling Daichi up with him then lead him to the dining room where he went into a cupboard and pulled out a box of colouring stuff.

Itsuki was still sniffling but he seemed to have calmed down significantly.

Daichi took a seat at the table as Itsuki got everything out.

Once he did he looked over at Daichi and bit his lip.

Daichi noticed so asked "What's up?"

Itsuki glanced down at the floor,hiding his blush, before shaking his head and sitting in the seat next to Daichi .

Daichi kept an eyebrow raised but Itsuki wasn't going to say it and he didn't want to force him in case it made him start to cry again.

In reality Itsuki was already close to crying again but this time from embarrassment, he wanted to sit in Daichi's lap but couldn't bring himself to ask so when Daichi asked what was wrong he felt caught and that made his embarrassment multiply.

Itsuki quietly coloured in after that and with the help of Daichi made a book that they could add pages to as they went.

During the time it took Daichi ordered food because he couldn't be bothered cooking and McDonald's was always a good comfort food.

After eating Itsuki ended up falling asleep watching cartoons on the couch so that gave Daichi some time to brain storm ideas to keep Itsukie distracted.
