Fai had always liked children. Which was why, I guess, he worked in a kindergarten. The kids loved him. They always seemed genuinely happy to see each other, Fai and the children. But today, Fai had to put on that damned mask I hated so much and pretend he was happy. This time, though, I didn't complain. It was for the sake of the kids.

I stood next to the blonde as he put his things from the drawers of his desk into a box. One of the little girls, Mari, clambered up into Fai's chair and stared at him intently. She didn't know that Fai was sick, that he could die. We had no intention of letting anyone know.

"Are you coming back?"

"I don't know," Fai tried to hide the shaking in his voice, but a little came through. I shouldn't have brought him here, and I knew it. This kind of stress was just making him worse. He should be in the hospital, not here.

Children always had a way to break your heart with one sentence.

"Do you love us?"

"Of course I do."

"Then you'll come back."

He didn't have the heart to tell her otherwise.


SAD ONE HOMGUUUH I SHOULD STOP THAT. If anyone has any key words they would like put into a drabble, review and let me know what it is! I'm all for that! And if anyone would like me to expand on certain drabbles, review and tell me which ones you would like expanded, and I will do my best to accommodate!
