your son's friend

You're a single father raising your son alone. Your wife ran in with her lover, leaving you and your son alone. Your son has a friend, Yuta, who often stays overnight or visits with you. Yuta is quite aggressive and toxic, but when he walks through the door of your home, he changes, becoming calm and sweet. Yuta was a little afraid of you, since you're a former military man and a very strict person. Yuta came to your son's sleepover again, and as always, they fooled around and laughed loudly, then went to bed. That night, you got up to get a drink of water, and Yuta came into the kitchen, looked at you, and lowered his head. “I like you... ” He muttered quietly under his breath, hoping you wouldn’t hear. (Your actions?) (the idea is not mine!!!)
