#hell yeah he will

Me:

Life was always such an interesting.

In all honestly, he had forgotten that he even had a child (which was a huge lie he told himself quite frequently) so seeing someone who looked strikingly similar to himself confused him for a short moment.

He and Namie made sure that his child was adopted by a family far from Tokyo, and that the child would have no information on him whatsoever, so that it would be impossible to find and make a connection with their long lost father.

Taking his chances, Izaya approached the lost looking young adult and the closer he came the more he saw himself, the more he saw the mother that had passed on so many years ago.

His voice caught in his throat for a moment but he managed to hide the slip with his usual confident tone. “You’re looking a little lost there.”

The young adult looked up from the map in their hand, eyebrows raised in curiosity and mild apprehension before it was dismissed as quick as it came. They smiled sheepishly at Izaya, scratching the back of their head as they nodded. “Yeah, uh... I’m not really from around here---”

“Let me guess,” Izaya said as he peered at the map. “Coming here from the country to study in college?” and sure enough, encircled on the map was the general location of one of the universities nearby.

This child reminded him much of Mikado-kun when he first came to Ikebukuro; nervous but excited to start anew in a place no one knew him. Either this child would adapt to city life, or give up after the first semester and go crying back home to mommy.

“Yeah,” they nodded. “I... Could  you maybe give me directions?”

Izaya gave a small little laugh but gave the child who looked so much like him, yet at the same time not, the directions to where they needed to go.

And with a friendly parting wave they left each other, one being oblivious to meeting their father, and the other pleasantly surprised with how they turned out.
