Chapter 42 - Good News (1/2)

When Shun returned home from his day out with Aomine and Satsuki, his parents were already at home.

When he entered his home, Shun saw that his parents were cuddling with their eyes close on the couch.

Shun: 'It seems they didn't hear the door. Let's mess with them.'

Shun silently took out his phone, opened the camera app, and took a photo of them.

Phone: *Click*

Shun's parents, who heard the noise were startled and opened their eyes. They saw their son standing near them with his phone's camera pointed towards them.

They immediately separated from each other and cleared their throats. Their faces were flushed, and they were feeling fl.u.s.tered.

Shun: ”You guys look like you are having fun.”

Shun's parents weren't able to meet eyes with their son.

Mom: ”S-Shun, when did you return home? Welcome back.”

Shun smiled and greeted his mother.

Shun: ”I just returned. Today I went out with Satsuki-chan and Aomine-kun.”

Shun's father saw that as a way out of the current conversation.

Dad: ”Is that so. What did you guys do?”

Shun knew what his father was trying to do.

Shun: ”We went to karaoke, had lunch, went window shopping, and played at the batting center.”

Dad: ”Oh, it looks like you guys had a lot of fun.”

Shun sat on the couch in front of his parents and smiled.

Shun: ”Yeah, it was a fun day. What about you guys, why were you all cuddly.”

Then a thought hit Shun right in the center of his brain, his eyes brightened, and a big smile appeared on his face.

Shun's parents were confused when they saw the expression on his face, but before they could ask, Shun blurted out.

Shun: ”Mom! Are you pregnant? Am I getting a sibling?

Oh my god, I am so excited, how long have you guys known? Why didn't you guys tell me you were trying to have a baby?

Wait, was it because I am a child that you didn't tell me? Well, I forgive you.

This is all so exciting. I will finally get a younger sibling. I wish it would be a girl.”

Shun's mother couldn't take any more of the baby talk and stopped Shun.

Mom: ”Shun, Stop! We are not having a baby.”

Shun felt his dreams and hopes shatter with that one sentence. He felt his knees go weak, and he collapsed on to the couch.

Shun looked at the ceiling and bellowed.
