Kakashi stood in front of Shuo Shige's bed, his hand hanging at his side clutching the fabric of his pants, his eyebrows half-furrowed as he looked at the bed.

He didn't dare to look at his father's face, didn't know what to say, and didn't want to leave.

"Yu, can you come over some?"

Shuo Mao stared at his son's head, tilted his head sideways to look at Yu, who was standing much farther away than Kakashi, and just raised his arm to realize that he was currently on a drip, and had to put his arm flat back on the lap that covered the quilt.

Yu trotted to the other side of Shuomao's hospital bed, and squatted on the ground with both hands on the side of the bed.

"How are you doing with Kakashi when you get back to school?"

Shuo Mao was stunned for two seconds after seeing Yu squatting, and then smiled and stretched out his hand diagonally down.

Yu squatted very well for touching his hair.

"Excellent! Every day he would practice with me, and after school, he would go grocery shopping together, and he would cook together on weekdays, and he would always wake me up in the morning—"

Yu summed up his daily routine these days for Sao Mao: "But I invited two of our friends to play without your consent, and they stayed overnight two or three times......"

"Two friends? …… Ah, the bento you asked Makora to bring with you was given to them. No problem, if you want to invite them over in the future, Kakashi can also have more with the other children........................ Well? ”

Shuomao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, very similar to Kakashi's.

——“…… Speaking of which, did Kakashi clean his room properly? ”

Shuo Mao didn't go to talk to Kakashi who was standing on the side in a tangle for the time being, but kept asking Yu, although he couldn't leave Kakashi for a few words.

- Shuo Mao just reacted and realized the fact that Yu did not return home during his absence.

…… He didn't mind, though.

"We do a big cleaning every few days! The house is also very clean now! ”

Yu raised his right arm and gestured like a strong man.

"Haha...... In the days when I was away, I worked hard for you to look after the house, and when I was discharged from the hospital...... Well, it's easy to get a mission to leave the village after becoming a ninja, but time doesn't allow you to take a leisurely look at the scenery, so while you're still a student, find a time to take you to the surrounding towns and the capital of the Fire Country. ”

Shuo Mao rubbed Yu's hair again.

"Okay—but Uncle needs to rest now!"

Yu put his hand on the side of the bed and held it as he withdrew his hand.

"Aren't you called Daddy?"

Shuo Mao squinted and smiled, and gently patted Yu's hand.

"That...... I haven't had a chance to call it that for a month or so, but now it's ...... Big Daddy is back, I'll get used to it again! ”

Yu really can't call Daddy now, because it's embarrassing.

She didn't know why she was so cheeky before, and she wasn't embarrassed at all.

Most people call Mom, Mom, Dad, and My Dad at home, but Kakashi is Father, Mother, Hinata and her former self are just behind their parents......

Only very small children and married people like to call their parents Dieyin, which sounds quite cute.

And Yu doesn't know why, when he calls Shuo Mao's father, he always wants to call his mother.

Maybe it's Shuo Mao in his heart, and the wife is very high.

"Don't force it, you can call it whatever you're used to...... Yu, I'm really sorry, can I ask you two things? ”

Shuo Shigehui shook Yu's hand, and his expression was a little complicated like Kakashi's.

"Of course."

Yu raised his head.

"You...... You can go home tonight...... Do you want to go back to your other home? I want Kakashi to stay here with me tonight. ”

Shuo Mao's smile changed to the kind of apology.

"Well, no problem, I haven't been home in a long time."

Yu nodded without hesitation.

"There's another thing...... Sorry, Yu, you can ...... right now Leave? ”

Shuo Mao shook Yu's hand slightly, as if he felt that what he said was too cold in their relationship.

“…… Well. ”

Yu glanced at Kakashi, who was still struggling with how to speak, and agreed.

She understood, but was a little unhappy.

"I'm sorry, I have some things I want to say to Kakashi alone, but there are also things I want to say to you, but that's for later, I haven't talked to Kakashi properly in a long time."

As he spoke, Sakumo habitually raised his hand to Kakashi's side, and Kakashi was stunned for a moment before quickly pressing down the hand with the needle hanging on it, biting his lip and glancing at Yu, and learning him to squat on the ground.

"I ...... too I have a lot to say to my father alone. ”

Kakashi turned his head away from making eye contact with Yu, though he would be blocked by the quilt covering his legs.

"So...... Yu, please say hello to Maguro and your brother for me when I go back, I'll visit you again later. ”

Shuo Mao touched his son's hair with emotion.

…… The child has become well-behaved again.

-

Yu thought about it for a while when he left the hospital, and felt that there was nothing in the Shuo Mao family that he thought was particularly important, so he only took the things he brought back from school and set out on the road back to the real black house.

It's been almost a month, and I'm still working as long as I can, and even coming back later in the morning, and the people who are on duty directly until the morning day shift go over to change shifts.

His talent may be that of a workaholic, because his body has not been affected at all, and the results of the physical examination show that his health level is even higher than before.

She wasn't at home, it was really dark at home, and she was napping in the living room with a small blanket.

There are a lot of things in the refrigerator that can be eaten directly, and it seems to be the rations of the real black, and Yu asked about the answer that it was okay to eat them all after the real black, and he was very moved to move out and have dinner with her.

Yu didn't want to study anymore when he got home, so he nestled on Maguro and chatted with her about the current situation, and soon fell asleep in the warmth of the plush.

I forgot to take a shower, I forgot to brush my teeth, but it doesn't matter, I can make up for it after I get up in the morning and stay for a while.

Early the next morning, before Hiki returned, Kakashi came running and knocked on the door alone.

Yu asked him what he was doing early in the morning.

Kakashi: Wake you up.

Yu yawned heavily and went to wash up first.

Take a shower or something, and wait until you get back from school.

-

Kakashi brought Yu the breakfast he bought on the road, and Yu walked with him to school while eating.

"Big ...... What did Dad tell you yesterday? ”

Yu is really curious.

"You'll find out later."

Kakashi strolled away with his pockets in his hands, and Yu quickly swallowed the rest of the bun and took a few quick steps to pull Kakashi back to the same speed as himself.

Shuo Mao is still in the hospital.
