Making New Friends
By Shattered Tenshi
Taisuke smiled softly as he watched the two boys play in the sandbox. It was quite amazing how easily kids can make friends. He had only looked away for a moment, trying to figure out which bottle of juice he had wanted to buy and when he looked again, Kento was already laughing and playing with another boy in the middle of the aisle in a supermarket.
Luckily, the other boy's brother perhaps? Taisuke wasn't sure as he sneaked a glance at the person sitting beside him. He didn't think the other looked that old to be the father of the boy for sure. Either way, the other was kind enough to let Kento and his new friend - Taisuke had learned that the boy's name was Takashi already because Kento wouldn't stop calling the boy's name as they walked to the park - play a little longer in the nearby park.
"I didn't introduce myself yet, right?" Taisuke finally spoke up, sitting up a little straighter to look at the other. "I'm Fujigaya Taisuke. My family is um, responsible for taking care of Kento at the moment."
The male blinked before nodding, "I'm Kitayama Hiromitsu. I'm helping a relative take care of Takashi. We're kind of in the same position I guess?"
Taisuke smiled, "Seems like it!" He studied the other briefly again. Kitayama seemed to be around his age or possibly even younger? He wasn't too sure. "Kento and Takashi-kun...seem to get along really well, right?"
Kitayama nodded at that.
Shifting his weight a bit and turning to face the other more, Taisuke said, "Do you think we can exchange contact information? If you don't mind, I mean. I'm sure Kento would like to play with Takashi-kun again, whenever it's convenient for you."
Kitayama's expression seemed to soften before nodding again and said, "Sure. Takashi seems to like Kento-kun as well. I don't think I've seen him play like that with his other friends before."
Taisuke beamed and took out his cellphone and a moment later, they have exchanged contact information.
Later, Taisuke carried Kento in his arms as they walked back home.
"Tai-chan, are you happy?"
Taisuke blinked in surprise. "Eh?"
"Did you make a new friend too? With Takashi's Mikkun?"
"Mikkun?" Taisuke figured that probably was Kitayama's nickname. He wondered for a moment why he couldn't deny immediately before shaking his head. "I'm just happy that you made a new friend, Kento."
Kento made a happy sound. "I'm happy too! I want to play with Takashi again!"
Taisuke smiled. "We'll see. Depending on how good you are, maybe next weekend."
"Wai, I'll be good! I will!"
Taisuke laughed softly and pressed a kiss on Kento's forehead. "Do your best then~"
Author's Notes: Because Taisuke with little kids would be the most adorable thing ever. =v= And instead of some random kid, Senga was a good option? Lol. Plus, well, there were some other inspirations, but yea~
Comments are love and appreciated~
