#family movie night they watch encanto and togami sobs his eyes out

[eggs-can-draw]

I bless you with angsts and fluff

First emotional termoil

Byakuya isolating himself right after shuichi was born because he’s scared of hurting him, not holding him or being alone in the room with him

Not a a asshole dad way but in a, all I remember is my father hurting me and my mom and everyone he was around and my son doesn’t deserve that, even though byakuya never wants to hurt shuichi

Now fluff

After a few weeks of this

It’s the middle of the night and newborn baby shuichi is crying and this is like the fifth time and it’s only like 1:30am and byakuya knows that makoto and kyoko are exhausted also they barely move at the crying

So taking a moment to collect himself and build up his courage he gets up and makes his way to shuichi nursery

He hesitated before walking through the door way and walks to shuichi crib and looks at him

Shuichi is screaming and crying but looks at byakuya and just makes grabby hands

Byakuya never wanted his father

But shuichi did, shuichi wanted to grab him and have his comfort

So byakuya picks him up and rocks him ever so slightly, he’s scared of hurting him or not holding him right

He was never going to let shuichi hurt like he did

Makoto and kyoko wake up in the morning with byakuya gone and they run to shuichi a nursery to see byakuya sitting and asleep in the rocking chair(and antique from makotos family he was able to recover from a storage unit) with shuichi sleeping completely soundly for the first time on his chest/shoulder

oooooooo sobbing weeping and sobbing some more While I do think Kirigiri would do something similar (which is a story for another time since this post isn't about her lol) both the reason and the complete juxtaposition to what he grows to become hurts in such a hurt comfort way oh my goodness. ALso this just. this kinda encapsulates my take on their dynamic so well and good GOLLY I'm feeling so LOUDLY also ALSO Togami having no idea what hes doing but somehow not messing up is an absolute king move. Imagine Shuichi is told about this when he's older and just. refuses to believe it's true. youre telling him his dad aka mr "freaked himself out so hard he passed out for a few minutes when shuichi broke his leg once" was scared of being around him? balderdash
