They stared at the piece of paper below them. Everything written on there is official, heart breaking, but official. Suzuno grabbed the sheet and quickly threw it away after crumpling it into a ball. Nagumo reached out to lay a hand on Suzuno's shoulder but it's shrugged away.

"Suzuno…"

"Nagumo I'm fine. Really. This happens to a lot of people. It took Midorikawa and Hiroto a while." With that, he grabs his phone and heads out to his next job. Sighing, Nagumo reaches into the waste basket and pulls the crumpled paper out. Sighing, he re read the notification.

"Dear Suzuno and Nagumo, we regret to inform you that despite your qualifications to be parents, due to your history of being in association with the Aliea Academy predicament. We must deny you a child for now. Please go speak to one of our representatives if you believe this is a mistake.

Yours Truly,

—"

They've been trying to adopt a child for a while now. When Hiroto and Midorikawa got Kariya, something clicked inside Suzuno and made him realize he wants to be a father too. They decided to go with adoption, because that hits really close to home. So they scheduled appointment after appointment till they finally got a meeting. After all that work, they still got denied in the end thank to their past. Nagumo knew for a fact that Suzuno was not okay but he couldn't stop his husband from running off. They both have their jobs to go to. In the end, he let it go for now and went to his shift at the restaurant.

A couple weeks later, they both got a day off on a Saturday dn decided to go out for a bit. They walked around a park and laughed at all the memories they felt.

"Remember when Aphrodi put a spider in your shirt and he said he wouldn't take it back till you said he had better hair?" Suzuno chuckled.

"That was horrible. Especially since you're afraid of spiders too so you couldn't even help me out. Worst boyfriend ev-" Suzuno stopped his sentence mid-way, and opted for starting out in the distance at something. Nagumo look at the other confused, and followed his gaze. Their gaze ended up on a small family that was having a picnic. The father (they assumed) held his son up and the mother kept scolding him that if he drops their son, he's next to go. They all started laughing and the child's laughter rang the loudest. Nagumo smiled but felt surprised when he felt Suzuno grab hold of his sleeve. He looked over at his husband and felt his heart break a little.

Suzuno stood there with tears slowly trickling out, using his free hand, he kept trying to wipe them away quickly but it wasn't working out. He ended up just laying his head into Nagumo's chest and crying for a bit. Nagumo held the other close and just stood there. Knowing that right now the best thing to do is stay silent. Suzuno started speaking but it was muffled out by Nagumo's jacket.

"What did you say?" Suzuno tilted his head up slightly, eyes red and cheeks flushed from the tears.

"I'm sorry." Nagumo looked down at the other and then averted his gaze before speaking.

"It's fine. Let's go home and talk about it, okay?" Suzuno nodded and they walked home without another word. Every now and then Suzuno would sniffle and he'd mutter a scold to himself because as a model he's suppose to look nice but he is not a pretty crier.

When they reached home, they sat across each other at the dinner table. The air felt slightly tense and Nagumo didn't exactly know which topic they're suppose to be talking about. So naturally, he winged it.

"Are you okay?" That was smooth. Suzuno smiled at his awkward husband before nodding again.

"I guess bottling up all your emotion really takes a toll out on you. I just…couldn't help it. Seeing them together, it just made me want a kid more and then I remembered the letter and I-" Tears started falling again, he couldn't continue on with his sentence. SO Nagumo got up, walked over, and hugged the other.

"I know, it's okay. We'll find a way to get a child. I promise."

With that, the two went to their room, fell asleep, and left the topic at that.

Prompt that inspired this:

Imagine your OTP coming home from the hospital after just losing their baby (either miscarriage or stillbirth). Person B wants to comfort Person A, but Person A insists that they're okay and don't want to talk about it. Person B would much rather discuss their feelings of grief together, but respects Person A's wishes, knowing they just need time.

The two go about their normal lives as best as possible, until weeks later when the two see another couple with a baby at the park, causing Person A to finally break down, letting out all of the grief and emotion they were holding in. Person B takes Person A into their arms and they go home, where real comfort and communication takes place.
