@neverfinal from here (Cloud)
Kumon had been trying to sneak through the front door after a brutal day at school. True, his nose was bleeding but the one who punched him got off far worse than he did. He couldn’t stay after the fight ended and ran home. His eyes looked red and irritated from all the silent crying he did as he squeaked in surprise.
Daddy was home? What?! Oh goddess this was bad. VERY BAD. Kumon froze in fear as daddy came closer and put a fresh rag on his face, asking if his child was alright and what happened. He simply took the rag and pressed it to his face gently.
Kumon couldn’t speak at all for fear of breaking down into panicked tears. He wouldn’t even meet his father’s eyes. Staring anywhere but at Cloud’s worried face, Kumon thought quickly and threw his backpack at Cloud before bolting upstairs to his room and shutting the door so hard it felt as if the entire house shook from the impact.
Knowing that daddy would quickly follow, he hid in his closet with bated breath.
He didn’t want to talk to anyone right now...
