Fukuda was, honestly, honored that he was the one Sho had chosen to bring with him on this day…honored and stressed.

This was the third jewelry store that they had gone to today. Sho had woken him up and told him that he needed helping finding something better than a ring pop to propose with…and the whole thing was adorable. That was what Fukuda was going with. Sure he was still only ten, and he had his whole life to worry about all of this, and also he may not have even been in love with the girl in question…but still. Sho picking out a ring for his little girlfriend was, objectively, adorable….Masami should have been there to see this. She should have been there helping her son pick out a ring for her future daughter in law, son in law if this had been a more perfect world, but she wasn't. Fukuda was here and he was happy to be here. Even if this relationship was just two ten year old essentially playing at being adults he was happy to be here…and he was the only one it seemed.

Sho was not having a good time.

Sho shook his head at the ring offered to him…and Fukuda had no idea what was wrong with that one. Sho said that his little girlfriend like big gems and the jeweler said that the ring in his hand had the biggest diamond he had on it. What girl didn't want a diamond ring? They loved diamonds, there was even a song about it, and that was the biggest diamond that Fukuda had ever seen…and it also had the biggest price tag that Fukuda had ever seen too. That was a lot of pounds…and converted to yen…well Fukuda would have fainted if it had been physically possible for him to faint. Sho was about to spend million upon millions of yen on an engagement ring for his little girlfriend.

Or not judging by the way he turned his nose up at it.

"No way." said Sho simply. Emmy wouldn't have liked that….he had no idea what Emmy would have liked but he knew that it was not that. Fukuda was acting like it was a nice ring…and if he liked it so much then he should have gotten it for his girlfriend! No, wait, he didn't have one because girls didn't like him at all. Not even to chase him down and kiss him. He didn't know anything about girls and jewelry and what they liked and…and maybe he should have waited until big sis's period was over and she could walk around again. She was a girl and she knew about this stuff…or maybe he should have brought a guy…one who knew about girls…like…well not Shimazaki obviously…and Hatori liked guys…and Serizawa was afraid of everything and would probably have had a heart attack and died if Sho asked him to come with…and Shibata…well he knew about girly stuff but he had never had a girlfriend for as long as Sho and Emmy had been together…he said so…and dad was an asshole and just…just….just…

Jewelry stores sucked!

Seriously. Who in the hell thought that putting rocks in rings was so…complicated!? Complicated and boring. He knew that somewhere in this store was the combination of rocks and rings that would make Emmy happy….but so far it was just so….complicated and stupid and boring! Just…so boring. Emmy liked rocks. Emmy like gems. Emmy liked cool rocks and gems that came out of the ground. She had a geode and a big rock salt lamp and a crystal her mom got from some lady in their neighborhood that sold them…so she liked big and cool things…and the things here weren't big or cool!

They were so…boring!

"That's too small. What kind of a girl would want something like that?" asked Sho as the guy who worked behind the counter showed him a ring with a big diamond in the middle. He knew that diamonds were a girl's best friend and all but…well they were such boring rocks. Just…who wanted a big clear rock on a plain yellow ring? Emmy would have hated that. He had no idea what kind of jewelry she liked, not really, she didn't wear any…well she had a mood ring she wore sometimes. It was broken and only showed black and she thought that it was cool….so maybe a black diamond? But….then she would have two black rings…

Girls were complicated. This was complicated. Boys were less complicated…but he had a girlfriend so there was no point in thinking about how much easier this would have been if she had been a guy.

"Sho!" said Fukuda

"What? Everything here sucks. She wouldn't like any of this and if I gave her anything from here then she'd be all 'Sho, you don't know me at all' and then she'd leave me and then I'd have to find a new girlfriend and I don't want to have to find a new girlfriend. The one I have is pretty much the best girl I've ever met and I don't want to have to go through millions and millions of girls looking for someone else like her." said Sho

"Sho…if you have be like that can you at least speak Japanese?" asked Fukuda in Japanese. So now Sho decided to try his English…and his accent was not so thick that he couldn't have been understood. At some point he would have to teach Sho manners…later. Not now. Now he had this fire to put out. He got so overwhelmed so easily…he was still so young…

Maybe this wasn't the time for all of this…but there was no changing Sho's mind once he got an idea.

"Why? In England we speak English…also it's more polite to tell someone that their stuff sucks in a language that they can understand. Otherwise they might think that we're saying someone even worse." Said Sho

"Sho, be nice…sorry about him. It's for his first girlfriend. You know how it is." Said Fukuda as he patted Sho on the head. The jeweler muttered something about rich and spoiled Asians and then put the ring back…and Fukuda…well he already had the one fire to put out.

"She's going to be my wife…but not if I get her a ring that she doesn't like!" said Sho. He didn't particularly want her to be his wife, he didn't particularly want anyone to be his wife, but he had to have one and it had might as well be Emmy. She was nice, he liked her enough, and she got along with big sis. That was good. Big sis had to get along with his future wife since he'd been away working all the time and Emmy would need another girl to keep her company….and also big sis would be lonely because whatever guy who felt like marrying her would be at work all day too…but none of that would matter of Emmy didn't like the ring he got her.

"Sho, maybe you should take a breath. Ok? Let's take a breath and think about this for a minute. We don't have to get her a ring right today. It's not even December yet. How about we make this a Christmas present for her…or maybe even a Valentine's Day one?" asked Fukuda. They'd be here until January…even longer if Suzuki was planning on avoiding Japan again…and even if they left he was sure that he could bring Sho back. They could take one of their trips where they went visiting around. Sho hadn't seen his baby sister in a while…and Fukuda hadn't seen his non-Suzuki friends in a while too…so, yes, that would be the perfect excuse to take a break from the insanity that was traveling with the Suzuki family and it's associated allies.

"I don't know if we'll even be here for that long…and I have to do this now because I already told her that she's my most perfect person. You don't just tell a girl that she's your most perfect person and then just not get her a ring and stuff. She might think that I was just saying stuff to her…and maybe even…another guy might take her from me, too. It's hard finding girls who don't chase me around and try to kiss me….and she's really nice and…and we almost had a fight the other day and…and I just…I want to get her a ring, ok?" said Sho

"Sho….how about we go somewhere else? How's that sound?" asked Fukuda with a sigh. Sho was not going to come off this…and he did have some perfectly valid concerns. Women, girls too, did not do well when you left them all alone for months on end. For all Sho knew there could have been some other guy waiting to pick up where he had left off…and Sho did not deserve to go through that. He hadn't done anything to this girl…well he didn't love her but he at least cared about her…he wasn't terrible to her and that was what mattered. Of course his little girlfriend was too young to see that and she might end up sleeping with…the ten year old equivalent to sleeping with…someone else and Sho did not deserve that.

His father, yes, but not him.

"….it doesn't matter where we go. She's not going to like anything that I get her…why did I even listen to dad? I should have just given her the ring pop…what's he even know about girls anyway? Mom left him." said Sho. He never should have listened to dad. A ring pop was a great ring…except for when she finished eating it and then all she had left was the plastic part…and also she probably had a bunch of them at home from when he sent her a Costco sized box of them…and also since she was going to be his forever girlfriend then she would need a forever ring…well unless she left him one day…but then that would be ok because big sis would be there…so maybe he should have been shopping for a ring for big sis?

No, that would have been weird….because they were brother and sister…and also she didn't wear rings.

"Your mom…is a very complicated woman…but let's not talk about her. How about we go to a different store…but one with things that Emmy would like? How about that? It doesn't necessarily have to be something fancy….and you're both only ten anyway. This stuff is for adults. Let's just…find something that she'd like. Something better than a ring pop." Said Fukuda. Nope. They were not getting into that here. They were not getting into that anywhere. They were not going to talk about that…well not until Sho was old enough to understand….if he would ever be old enough to understand….Fukuda didn't want to think about this either. Fukuda just needed Sho to come off of this and just…

He needed to help Sho with this before this little fire turned into a big fire.

"Fine…but if the next store sucks then I'm going to be pissed off at you." Said Sho. He was pissed off in general….and he knew that he was being an asshole right now…but this was hard. He wished that he had asked dad how he knew what kind of ring mom liked. He couldn't even remember what mom's ring had looked like. He knew that there had been a rock on it that had gotten in his hair when she washed it…and he knew that the color had matched dad's…and did that mean that he would need one too? He hated rings. He needed his hands to be free to move and stuff for when he drew…and he wished that he could have just dawn her a ring. That would have been easier…but no. He had to do this right. He had to do the boyfriend thing right. He had to be good at this. This was why he was here. The only reason he existed, the only reason that dad had made him, was so that he could make new people named Suzuki…but not now because that was gross and…

And he just wanted to worry about one thing at a time.

Right now he was worried about finding a good ring for Emmy. She got out of school in a couple of hours and he had promised her that he would meet her and then they would go and get hot chocolate and giant cookies…and also…well maybe not today. Maybe he wouldn't give it to her today but…well maybe sooner rather than later…or maybe after he turned eleven so that…that she didn't think that she had to get him something fancy for his birthday to match him getting her a fancy ring…not that he had even found a fancy ring that she would have liked…and not that they even made fancy rings that she would have liked, probably, since those were for adults and they were not adults and…and…and jewelry sores sucked dick holes!

Which was why it was a good thing that Fukuda had not brought him to a jewelry store.

"Here I figured that this would be more your girlfriend's speed." Said Fukuda. There was a store that sold kitsch stuff, curiosities, and general weird things. Not the sorts of things that Fukuda would have gotten for a girl even at the age of ten but then again he wasn't Sho and he wasn't dating Sho's girlfriend so he didn't get to say anything. He just had to help.

That was why he was here, to help.

"Well you figured right. Good job, Fukuda." Said Sho as he patted Fukuda on the back. He may have been a secret teller, and he may have had this weird fight thing going on with big sis, but he could sometimes be good at things. Like this. This was the perfect store for Emmy! There were….things! All of the things! Like a whole stack of army hats and a whole rack of weapons…not real ones but still…and…and was that an eyeball in a JAR?! Ok, that was going to be her Christmas present…and…and there was a monkey's paw! Wait…no. He knew how that story went….and also he felt bad about the poor one pawed monkey…and also…also…

Was that a wallet made out of human skin?! That was so cool!

"Thank you and…off you go. Alright then…have fun." Said Fukuda as Sho ran off with a look in his eyes that Fukuda…was not the biggest fan of. He knew that look. Suzuki always got the same look right before he had an idea…and it didn't have to be a good idea. Like the time they jumped off of his roof and onto the trampoline…or the time they tried to give themselves radiation poisoning by running the microwave nonstop…or the time they tried to ride a bike down a mountain…or the time they tried to walk home from Tokyo….or….

There had been a lot of times.

But Sho…he was fine. He was just going to end up spending all of his money…more than any kid should have had…on his little girlfriend. Nothing bad. A lot of things that he was maybe not thinking through…no. Fukuda was not going to think like that. He walked through the store…maybe in a effort to escape thoughts that he didn't much want to have. Thoughts like…like how Sho was too young to make this kind of choice…and how miserable his adult life would be. He would be miserable and so would that poor girl…and Fukuda…he couldn't help but feel a little responsible. Sho…he was who he was and Fukuda had known who he was since that time he came home from preschool…or maybe kindergarten….raving about this boy in his class and how cool he was. Sho had gone on and on and on about how cool that other boy was and how he wanted to be his best friend for life and how they were naptime buddies and how it had been the greatest thing ever….Sho was who he was…and Fukuda so wished that he could have just lived his life the way he wanted to…

But Fukuda had not made the world the way it was.

Even if he hadn't been Suzuki Touichirou's son…life would not have been good for him. Not unless he moved to some much more liberal foreign country where he could have lived the way he wanted to live. But he was who he was and he…well it wasn't going to be a good adult life…but Fukuda could help him make the best of it. That was what he did after all, he helped Sho make the best of things, which was all he could do. He had promised Masami that he would keep both of her children safe…and he had failed miserably…and it was his fault what had happened to Shigeko…but he didn't want to think about her now. He was with Sho and he had to help Sho out…and he had to be there for Sho…and really he should have felt honored.

Sho had chosen him out of everyone else that he knew to come with on this momentous occasion.

Fukuda had done this once before, of course, back when Suzuki had been planning on proposing to Masami. He had gone along, well had been dragged along, to what had felt like every single jeweler in the city to help Suzuki find a ring that was worthy of Masami. A single ring, not a handful of them like Suzuki had planned. They hadn't found anything…well Fukuda had found a nice gold ring with a yellow diamond….and that had been the one that Suzuki had ended up getting later on…so in a way he had been the one to choose Masami's ring and-and…and he doesn't want to think about that. About her. About yellow diamonds. About a time before…before this time.

He was here now and this was his life.

His life was helping a ten year old boy pick out a ring for his girlfriend. Fukuda…well he had imagined this day coming much later in his life…and maybe it would. Come again, he meant, when Sho was old enough to actually make these choices. Fukuda had been getting himself all worked up over nothing. Sho and his little girlfriend were essentially just playing marriage. Sho was too young to make these choices, he didn't get the full weight of them, and Fukuda…well he took a look around. He was at a counter of costume jewelry. Plastic and colored glass and insects suspended in amber. Not the sort of thing you got a woman you planned on spending your life with. Kids' stuff.

Sho as still just a kid after all.

"Hey Sho, why don't you come over here and-" said Fukuda. A ring with an insect trapped in amber would have been perfect for Sho's little girlfriend. She was a lover of the disturbing and macabre after all. Why she was like that Fukuda had no idea but she was who she was and Sho…well he did want to make her happy. She would have liked that. There. Now their odyssey was over and they could take a rest.

Or at least it should have been over.

"Fukuda! Check this out! I found something!" said Sho. Well he shouted…but he had every reason to shout. He had found the perfect ring! The most perfect thing ever! Emmy was going to love this! She was going to love this and he was going to be the best boyfriend ever for giving her this!

He had this boyfriend thing DOWN!

"Sho that's…." said Fukuda as he came over to see what had gotten Sho so excited that he was tapping the glass like he was at an aquarium. That was…he was….there was no way in hell….why would anyone….

Who would WANT that?!

"So cool! See? That's a real human tooth! From a real dead guy! Or maybe he's alive, I don't care. Emmy will though. She's going to love this. I'm the greatest boyfriend ever." Said Sho as he tapped like the glass just in case Fukuda couldn't see. That was a real human tooth in there in a real ring and Emmy would really love it and then she would see how happy he could make her and then he wouldn't have to look for a new girlfriend! She'd love it! It was a human tooth on a ring!

Who WOULDN'T WANT THAT?!

"Sho…they have some rings with dead insects in them? Wouldn't she want some kind of dead insect instead of a…human tooth?" asked Fukuda. If he had been a little girl and someone had given him that then he would have headed for the hills. There was no way in hell anyone would want that. It was….macabre! And he hated to use one of Minegishi's words but…yes! It was macabre!

"No way! She loves this kind of stuff! I'm getting her the tooth ring and also the eyeball in the jar too for Christmas." Said Sho

"Sho…are you sure that she wants these things? I know that she's kind of a tomboy but this may be going the one step too far. How about you just-" said Fukuda

"Fukuda, no. I know my own girlfriend and I know what she likes and I'm getting her the tooth ring and the eyeball in the jar. Alright?" asked Sho

"…that's fine. You're right, you know her, but how about we get her an insect ring too…so that she has options? Yeah, it's always good to give a person options." Said Fukuda. He was not going to fight with Sho in the middle of a store. No, he was just going to make sure that Sho…hedged his bets. He obviously cared for this girl, he may not have been in love with her but he cared for her, and it would have been painful for her to leave him. Sho…had dealt with enough of hat in his life as it was. Fukuda couldn't save him from all the pain that life had to offer but he could at least protect Sho from himself.

That was his life, protecting the Suzuki family from themselves.

"Yeah, you're right. That can be her White Day present or something…she is going to be so fucking happy…" said Sho. He was the greatest boyfriend in the entire world. He was going to make her happy and then she would stay with him and then he wouldn't have to find another girlfriend…and he would be able to rub his relationship in dad's face too. Mom had left dad but Emmy…well he was never going to give her a reason to leave. He had no idea why mom had left but…well he would just do the opposite of whatever dad had done and then she would stay with him and then he could rub his happy life and happy wife and kids who loved him in dad's face…

It would be great.

When he grew up, of course, not now. Now he was just going to get the stuff for her and then drop it off at home and then meet her on her way home from school and then they would hang out like normal. He would get her all the hot chocolate and giant cookies that she wanted and then she would be happy and then…well he would give her the ring after his birthday and…and maybe for Christmas…or maybe even later since he did have a long time until he was an adult…but still…someone else could take her…and that would have sucked…but whatever. He'd figure it out later….after he went home and put his stuff down…and stuff. Yeah, later.

At least that had been the plan.

"So, where are we headed now?" asked Fukuda as they stepped into the car. Sho, thankfully, kept his tooth ring and his jarred eyeball to himself. Fukuda was no stranger to gore, he was a healer after all, but that was…not something that he wanted to be near. He swore that it had been looking at him…which was insane…right?

Right.

"Home. I have to put this stuff down and then I have to meet Emmy after her school is done with. We're getting hot chocolate." Said Sho

"That sounds fun. You want me to come along? You know, for moral support." Said Fukuda

"Why would I need moral support to drink hot chocolate?" asked Sho

"I meant for when you propose to her." said Fukuda

"Oh, that. I'm not doing that today? Do you have brain worms or something? I'm going to do that over Christmas or something….I don't know." Said Sho. He had the ring so he should have but…well he was sure…and having the stupid ring should have made him more sure, not less, and he wasn't less sure! He just had to go home and…and do…stuff…and more stuff and then meet Emmy and do stuff and…and he was sure! He was sure about this and there was nothing in the world that could make him unsure!

"Oh….well that's good. No need to rush into that…or anything." Said Fukuda

"I'm not rushing!" said Sho. He knew what he was doing and he was doing what he was supposed to be doing. He had met his most perfect person like he was supposed to and he had a ring for her like you were supposed to get girls and now he was going to give it to her like you were supposed to do and…and that was just…he was doing what he was supposed to do! And he wasn't rushing! What did Fukuda even know?! Sho wouldn't have been surprised if he had never even had a girlfriend before or kissed a girl or…or anything! It wasn't like Sho had ever seen him with a girl so…so there!

"I never said that you were. I just said that there's no need to rush. You're not even eleven years old yet." Said Fukuda

"God…dad said the same thing." Said Sho. What was it with adults and wanting to talk to him about this? He knew how the baby got in, he knew how it got out, and he knew that he didn't want to do that with a girl and he never would…so why did everyone have to sit down and talk to him about this?! They were in a car, they were passing cool stuff like….like that Dalmatian, and maybe they should have talked about that instead of doing gross stuff with girls like…like gross….people!

"Your dad?" asked Fukuda. He used his powers to check Sho over for injuries…and he had none….which meant that either Sho had learned how to heal or Suzuki had heeded his daughter's warnings about hitting Sho….but that was just…if it had been that easy then why hadn't he listened to Masami? She had made herself perfectly clear, her feelings on that subject and all of the others, but Suzuki hadn't listened to her. What, did he just…care about Shigeko more? Or was it because she was an esper? Or because she was the last person he had in his life who listened to him?

The closest thing to…well someone to share his life with.

For their entire lives, the portion that they had spent together, Suzuki had always gone on and on and on about how he had to be a full and complete person on his own…but he had also gone on and on and on about how he wanted to find a girl to spend his life with…and if no girls were available Fukuda…and that had been…Suzuki was a man who made no sense and Fukuda…he didn't want to think about this.

He had enough to think about as it was when it came to Sho…he didn't want to add Suzuki to the mix.

"Yeah. He told me that I was just a kid and that I shouldn't rush into stuff or do gross stuff with Emmy…which is so dumb! Of course I'm not going to stick my dick in her!" said Sho

"Sho! Don't say…things like that." Said Fukuda with a groan. He was, technically, correct…but he had shouted that in English…and he could feel the driver watched them in the rearview mirror…and Sho…well he was too little to know what was and was not polite to say…because he was eleven years old….not even eleven yet….

This was going to be a very painful conversation. Fukuda could tell.

"Why not? It's what happens. You stick your dick in a girl and a baby comes out. I know what sex is and I don't need you asking me if I know…and I know you will. Dad asked me." Said Sho

"Your dad? Suzuki Touichirou…your dad…asked you about…all of that?" asked Fukuda. It was a sign of the end times. Suzuki had, apparently, tried doing some real parenting. Sho seemed a little too young for the talk, he wasn't even eleven yet, but…well Fukuda wasn't technically his father and he didn't get to decide these things…but still. It was bad enough that he knew, at his age, about what happened to Shigeko….but also…well it was better that he knew about these things before he went out and did him…

Because history did not need to repeat its self.

"Yeah, my dad asked me if I knew what sex was and then he told me that it was awesome and it sucked and that I was too little to do it, which I don't even want to because it's gross, and then dad told me that you have to do it with a girl and not to her otherwise it's a bad thing-" said Sho

"He's right, always ask first." Said Fukuda. Well THAT was something…well always good to know but….well it should have gone without saying and…and really an eleven year old didn't even need to know that not asking wasn't even an option and…well it was always good to ask…because that was NOT the place for miscommunication….but still! He was only eleven and if he had been Fukuda's son…well he would have let Sho learn about these things in a room full of giggling middle schoolers like everyone else had to….but that wasn't right either and….

And this parenting thing was hard.

"Yeah. I know. I'm not stupid. I hate it when girls run up and chase me and kiss me and I know that they wouldn't like it if I just shoved my-" said Sho

"ANYWAY what else did he tell you?" asked Fukuda. Knowing Suzuki the whole thing could have been dry and clinical…or it could have been way more information than an eleven year old boy ever needed to know…not that he really needed to know about these things at his age. He was a child and the thing to do would have been to let him be a child for as long as possible….but then on the other hand he wouldn't be a little boy forever…

But then on the third hand he sort of wanted Sho to be a little boy forever.

He wished that there had been some way to freeze him at five or six or seven…back when he'd been small. Back before the cursing, the constant cursing, and possessive crush he had on Shimazaki and all of these very adult choices he was trying to make. Back before he smelled like…this…too…and he'd have to talk to Sho about taking a bath every day…and he just…more would come later as he got older and Fukuda knew that he would be the only one who could have these sorts of conversations with Sho and he just…

He missed when the biggest thing that they had to talk about was Zootopia.

"Not much else. Just not to do stuff with her until I was ready to take care of a baby and not to get married with a candy ring and that contran-inception was terrible and-" said Sho

"Contraception. The word is contraception…and it's not…use it. Just…unless you want to have a baby…or get very sick…then use it." Said Fukuda. Dammit Suzuki…this was why he had do many kids he had never planned for. Condoms were terrible. They ruined sex and Fukuda credited their invention to the dangerously low population of Japan….but still! That was not the thing to tell your eleven year old son!

"Why would I want to do that with a girl unless I wanted to have a baby? What else would be the point?" asked Sho wrinkling his nose. The whole thing just sounded so gross. Doing stuff like that with a girl…and he would have thought so even if he had liked them. It was just…it didn't sound pleasant. He understood wanting to kiss someone and hold their hands but the rest of it…no way. He knew that adults didn't always do that to get babies, if they did then Shimazaki and Minegishi wouldn't have done that since Minegishi was a terrible human being who hated babies and probably wanted to send every single baby in the world to an orphanage or something, but beyond getting babies…what could even be the point of doing that with a girl?

And he felt the same way about doing that with a boy…even though he was pretty sure that two guys couldn't do that anyway since there was no way to fit together.

"Well to feel good…or close to someone….things that you'll understand when you're older. Just…when you get to that age…for the love of God be careful. Don't follow in your dad's footsteps. You don't want to be like him, right? So don't make his mistakes." Said Fukuda. He wished, as soon as he said it, that he could have taken back what he had said. Sho's existence was not a mistake. Sho…Sho could never have been a mistake. Suzuki having unprotected sex with Masami, doing so knowingly, had been a mistake. Pulling out did not work…and at some point he would have to tell Sho…well he would have to tell Sho a lot of things…like how he and his younger sister had gotten here…and any other children Suzuki planned on accidentally having…and Masami…

He and Masami hadn't been careful…it suddenly dawned on him….but he did not want to think about that right now.

"Mistakes? What, like the time he forgot a spoon in the microwave and almost burnt the house down? Or the time he accidentally used big sis's shaving cream and smelled like a girl for the whole day? Or the time-" said Sho. He could have gone on and on and on for hours about all of the mistakes that dad made. He thought that he was perfect but he wasn't. He fucked up all the time. He fucked up in little ways…and in big ways too…like with mom….

And Sho couldn't wait to rub that one in his face when he got older.

"Not like that just…you're too young for this conversation. When you get older…old enough that these sorts of things stop being gross to you and you're ready to make these choices…with whoever you plan on making them with then…then I hope that you come to me and not your dad. He's kind of…not so smart…when it comes to things like this." said Fukuda. Sho did not need to know about this, not now, and Fukuda…well he was going to let him be a child for as long as he could. He deserved that. He had been through so much and…and Fukuda was not going to make something out of nothing. So he wanted to play adults with his little girlfriend, get her a truly macabre ring and all, that was fine. It was cute, even….

It wouldn't be so cute, so adorable, when Sho got older but….well Fukuda would let him have this as it was…human tooth ring and all.
