When Will Mama Come?

Location: school parents waiting room

Tobi sat on the couch, his small legs swinging back and forth, but his heart wasn't in it. He kept looking toward the door, waiting, listening. The clock on the wall ticked too loudly.

She wasn't here yet.

Darius sat across from him, one leg crossed over the other, watching with that calm expression he always had. But Tobi could feel his impatience, too.

A/N: Like I said Tobi and Darius are special don't be confused why he can be out or have his own body

"She'll come," Darius said after a while.

Tobi frowned. "She's taking too long."

Darius sighed, rubbing his temple. "She's probably busy."

Busy. That was always the reason. Mama had things to do, people to see, places to go. Tobi knew that. But today, he wanted her here. His stomach felt weird, his head heavy. The waiting made it worse.

"How long?" Tobi mumbled, his voice small.
