Because I had this idea im writing this story whilst trying to think up more ideas for my wavering hearts fanfic ;u; (for those reviewing that thank you so much, it means alot :'D *throws love onto you*)
This fic is set a long time before the story starts, when Izumi was alive and a kid :) Since we don't know Izumi's father's name, I decided to go with Haru :)
"Papa!" The little boy screamed in delight, seeing his father come home earlier than usual lifted his spirits, he ran as fast as his little legs could as he ran across the hallway and into his father arms, his smile wide and energetic.
"Lio!" Kana yelled from the kitchen, "Don't run so fast, you'll trip over!" She walked to the house entrance to fetch him, but was surprised too when she spotted her husband in front of her.
"Ah! Haru you're early!" She squealed, her smile matching with Lio's.
"Heh, work ended early." He chuckled, lifting Lio up into the air, making him scream with excitement. He then lowered him into his arms and hugged him tight, kissing him on the head whilst Lio had his arms wrapped around his neck. "Is dinner ready yet?" Haru moaned, smelling the food from the kitchen.
"It's only 6.30pm, dear, If you told me sooner I would have gotten it cooked quicker!" She protested.
"I helped!" Lio yelled, his hand shot up into the air. "Mama let me eat the last strawberries!"
Both his parents laughed, Kana leaned in so the three were hugging. "He's like you Haru, he can't stay away from them." She smiled, embracing them both.
"Ahh, i'm tired, lets sit down shall we? Wanna watch a movie Lio?"
"Yes! yes! yes!" Lio chanted, overly excited.
"Now hold on," Kana gave a stern look to them both. "Lio has a bedtime, he can't watch past 8, and its unhealthy for his eyes."
"But mamaaaa!" Haru and Lio moaned simultaneously, giving her sad looks.
"Oh alright! Fine, but tomorrow your bedtime will be 7:30, no exceptions." She rejoiced.
"Hai, mama!" Lio accepted. He knew his mothers decision were final.
And so the night went, the happy family ate their dinner cheerfully before settling onto the couch to watch a movie (Kana forbid movies with blood and action, it was too inappropriate.)
Izumi slowly fell asleep in Kana's arms as the movie was only halfway through, both the parents snuggled close together, taking turns to carry him, until they too fell asleep, Kana's head resting on Haru's shoulder.
As dawn approached, Haru's eyes fluttered open, the crackling noises came from the TV. Forgotten they had never finished the movie, he slowly raised himself off the warm sofa and switched off the TV, so as not to disturb his wife and son.
Then, without making another sound, he kissed the foreheads of his family and changed for work that day.
Little did Izumi nor his mother know he wouldn't be returning that day.
DD: I love them so much :'( it always has bugged me that we never see his face or any trace of Izumi's father, I REALLY WANT TO KNOW what he looks like xD *goes back to writing Wavering Hearts*
