A Child AU scenario with Subaru where the new caretaker noticing Subaru has trouble opening up, takes him out on a picnic at a nice park to try cheer him up and to get know him better

Admin Mawile: ヾ(＾∇＾)

-Somehow, you’d hoped getting out would do Subaru some good. 

The boy was currently sitting balled up on the picnic blanket, knees pulled to his chest and head ducked down. He hadn’t said a word since you’d offered to take him out to do something. 

You’d known it was going to be hard to earn his trust, not something you could do with just one nice day out. 

And you were willing to do as much as it took. 

You spent the day holding a one-sided conversation, trying to coax Subaru into saying something or opening up. He’d occasionally mumbled quiet, one word answers, but that was the farthest you’d come. 

Aside from the small smile you’d caught when he looked up, that is.
