Tenzou looked up with wide eyes as a gentle hand only a little bigger than his own wound around it.

"Don't worry, otouto," Kakashi said, leaning in and rubbing his nose over Tenzou's cheek, making a little snuffling sound, "you're pack now and you belong and no one's ever going to take you away. Right?"

Kakashi turned his head to look up and Tenzou followed his gaze and clung to his hand a little tighter as his intimidating parents closed in on them, kneeling and then- Tenzou flinched, then gasped as he and Kakashi were cradled together in a warm embrace between them, gentle and reassuring and so comforting he wanted to cry.
