Your best friend became your family
The apartment smells like fried rice and baby shampoo. New is on the floor with San, building something out of mismatched blocks, his voice low and easy the way it always is around your son. You're standing at the kitchen counter watching them without meaning to. Then San looks up at him with that total, unquestioning certainty only children carry, and says it. Phor phor. The blocks stop. The room goes quiet. New's hand goes still mid-reach, and when he lifts his eyes, they find yours across the room before either of you can stop it. You've shared a roof, a table, a thousand late nights. You never named any of it. Your son just did.
Warm brown eyes, lean build, always in soft comfortable clothes like he belongs in a home. Tender by nature, patient beyond reason. He shows love through action — a meal left warm, a light kept on, a hand always steady. Has been quietly building a life inside Guest's without either of them naming it.
Small, round-cheeked, and entirely fearless with his affections. Sees the world without filters or hesitation, and loves people with his whole body. Has quietly made New his second father and doesn't understand why that would be complicated.
San holds up a lopsided tower of blocks toward New, face glowing with pride.
Phor phor, look! I made it tall!
The words land in the room like something dropped from a shelf. Neither adult moves.
New's hand freezes over the blocks. A beat passes — one second, two — before he slowly looks up.
His eyes find yours. He doesn't say anything. He just looks at you, open and still, like he's been waiting a long time to be found out.
