Here's the finished version!! W moosic

Some angsty krs!Naru and Fredo

-Krs's uncle who abused him , somehow ended up becoming the sealed god's minion or something

-He ended up coming to this world to find his nephew and cause havoc bcoz ofc

Logically he knew he was stronger. He was far older and wiser than the first time too. Yet the paralyzing fear never left. He was once again small- why is he so small? Wasn't he taller than this? , once again at the mercy of the devil whom he called uncle. He could do nothing as his uncle stepped forward. Calmly, oh so calmly, as if there wasn't a thunderstorm rumbling inside of him, ready to sweep him away. The sudden attack of his lost records disoriented him. All he could do was watch as his uncle curled his fingers in his hair and yanked him closer.  

"Rok Soo -ya did you not miss your uncle?

Fingers danced around his throat

"Is that how you greet your uncle? I don't remember raising you as a good for nothing brat"

He couldn't breathe. As if all the fight had already left him. He hung limply in his uncle's hand. 

"Rok soo~"

Father father… where are you father..help me 

It was an uncharacteristic thing for Naru ,no kim rok soo, to ask for help that is. He never asked before. Never depended on anyone else for that matter. It was useless because no one would help him. It was always on himself to get out of sticky , messy situations. But somehow, unbeknownst to him, Fredo had managed to worm past his ironclad defenses ,into his heart. He never thought he would genuinely come to think of that man as his father.  But here they were.  Naru desperately wished his father would come and save him. Naru was strong but he couldn't muster up any courage, or the will to fight…. He felt like a puppet whose strings had been snapped.

Part 2

( Naru killed his uncle in an epic climactic battle after a lot of torture and ended up burning everything ahem....moving on ..)

Naru wasn't dead yet, but he felt like he would be , sooner or later. As he was lying down , in a blurry haze of pain and something he couldn't quite understand, he thought about his father once again and began thinking of what he would say to him if he died here. He didn't know how it ended up being transmitted to fredo but it did.

Fredo blinked. Where was he again? Hadn't he just been fighting the White star. He moved his eyes slightly, finding himself in an unfamiliar room. Solena gasped from where she was sitting. The Duke has finally awoken! It had been a week since he was in a coma.

"The white star…?"

"He hasn't been sighted since your fight. It is believed he sustained a lot of injuries too"

Fredo nodded, a bit absent mindedly. Naru had told him to run away but he couldn't do that. That's right. Where is his adorable son?

"Where's Naru?"

"Little young master was just beside you two days ago….I have not seen him since then. But he should be fine."

"You-"

And then a voice suddenly started talking inside his head

"Father."

Naru?!

"Father. I miss you"

"I hope you were here father"

"Naru?!!" Fredo cried.

"Your Grace? Young master is not here. Are you alright? "

"Don't be too sad father. If I'm not by your side. 

 I had hoped to be beside you when you woke up. But it looks like you would have to come to me everything hurts so much father

"I don't know when or how I came to think of you as my real father but you were the best father I ever had.

Don't be too mad either father, if I'm gone."

Fredo's breath stilled. He didn't know what was happening or how his son was suddenly talking inside his head but something felt so wrong.

"Naru, where are you? Can you hear your father? "

"Your Grace what-"

" Father, being alive is the best. I had always been told that. But being alive doesn't mean living. So you must live happily, father.

If I leave and never come back ..will you miss me father? "

Fredo's heartbeat started racing up. Something happened to his child. Someone hurt his son when he couldn't protect him. He was going to pulverize the one who dared. He ripped off the blankets and jumped out of the bed. His body however, couldn't bear the burden and he ended up falling on the floor. He had just awoken from the coma. And some of the injuries were still healing. 

"Your Grace!! Is the young master in danger?! I will leave at once to find-

"NARU! MY CHILD!" 

"Duke! Calm yourself! I will find the young master! "

"I SAID LET ME GO"

"....I hope you miss me father.  Goodbyes sure are hard aren't they, father?

Haha…"

Fredo froze. No. His son isn't going anywhere. He threw Solena off and teleported to Naru's coordinates in a flash. His already dead heart broke even further when he found him.

His son. His only son. His precious , selfless, forgiving, wonderful son. Leaning against a broken rock , with blood dripping from every crevice of his body. He was staring at the dipping sun with a peaceful look in his eyes. 

"..Naru.."

Naru's gaze shifted towards him,

"You are finally here father" 

And smiled brightly, so brightly and so happily ,as if to ingrain it in Fredo's mind till the end of time.

"I'm sorry-I'm so late. Father is sorry. Naru Naru-"

His legs gave out and he ended up falling down again on his knees and embraced Naru tightly

" Father is here now, You are safe now naru. Father missed you lots. You want to be a slacker right. You have to live a long life for that. Naru-ya are you listening? Naru naru naru-"

His voice cracked but he continued speaking nevertheless. Naru who felt his father's warm embrace, never felt any safer. He was content now. And slowly and surely ,his breathing evened out.

"Thank you for everything father "
