" It was a surprise that someone like him had changed my life after we met from that day. . .
I wasn't sure why but . . . The world had became so much brighter than it ever was . . . "
"We are going to have a new transfer student who use to live in Osaka!"
Inside the classroom, the teacher had made an announcement that there was a new student that came all the way from Osaka. The students all awed from the news that were told to them and became excited to wonder who was the new kid. Nowadays, kids were being terrible little snots for already deciding on their own thoughts about the transfer kid while several weren't that bad to think like that. Otherwise, they'd get some smacking by their parents if they tried to talk bad now... Onwards as mention, the few kids were already making some bidding of what the transfer kid would look like from their imagination, others were discussing if the student was going rich kid like Luca or going to be average one like anyone else. The talk kept going on until the teacher used a rule to tap against on her desk to hush the students down in silence. Clearing her throat, she had smiled at them to thank them for not talking anymore.
"I am going to introduce the new student in our class today but you all must be nice to him since he's from Osaka," the teacher said but got interrupted as she hear several giggles in the background, as expected the student was going to be another boy. The woman stared at them harshly and they kept their mouth and voice shut immediately because they wouldn't like it if their teacher was angry and plan not introducing them of any reward they'll be probably expecting from her any time soon... Any more of this and the teacher would punish them for it. The woman continued on with her speech, "And he was going to be staying here from this year and to the next, so do please be get along and be friends with him." That being said, the older woman had given her attention to the door and said, "Now, would you please come in and introduce yourself to the whole class?"
" Right at that moment, where everything had started . . .
All of this had became of the strange meeting . . . "
On cue, the door had slowly open to reveal a young tall dark colored black shagged-layer hair boy who was about three foot and eight inches in his height. His eye colors were just like a ruby jeweled gem or bloody crimson. He was groomed with the causal outfit: an white thin collar shirt that shows a bit of his skin of his collarbone and arms exposing. On the side of the boy's wrist was a hooked chain bracelet and some ring that linked with. Two rings, to be exact. In hand, he was holding the school's bag with the stuff that the young child needed to class today. Under of the shirt, the pants were black skinny-jeans wraps the near perfect size of his lower parts, and bi-color of entire black sneakers with whiting details on the side. The boy walked inside the room, to close the door behind him then made his half way over to the teacher's desk in distance, then look at everyone at sight.
"Please to meet you, everyone. My name is Kirushima Rei."
After all of this, I don't recall what had happen since he and I departed . . . Did . . . Something happen . . .?
Rewinding back from the beginning within the same day, it was six am in the morning for a new day to start school for a young boy named Rei, who'll be enrolling to the Suzaki public grade school in 5th grade as of now. Inside of a bed, there was small body that was sneezing so innocently as he begin to woken up from his slumber. The boy started to rub his eyes to make sure nothing fell inside the eyelid or carefully try to open them to see the bright light. Luckily, the morning's light wasn't too bright so Rei slowly open his eyes to see day. The day had finally came for the boy, whom wished that it would be time to go to school so he didn't have to stay inside the house all day.
" As days goes on, I made a wish that I wouldn't need to face reality such as this . . .
So that way, I didn't need to feel this pain anymore at all . . . That wish . . . "
Birds were singing in the trees as bugs were camping around in the small forest of grasses and such. The dark haired boy had slowly removed his cover and came closed to his window, watching from the inside to see the life was blooming as always in front of him. Envying the sight as he felt himself being in prison inside the house due to his parents' complaints about this and that. Something like if Rei would bring something unnecessary from outside and dirty the place in the house from his mother's nagging. His father would of said the same respond but instead of that, he'd tell Rei to either stay outside the whole day or not. Rei doesn't like anything to displease his parents and remained in the house as possible and avoid any problem. Otherwise, he'll get yelled at...
Or worse...
It was a nice weather to start school again with the peaceful morning like this. Rei had wished that this moment had stayed as it is. The reason why he didn't want this day to go away was because of the family issue: his parents were getting on divorce. Poor little Rei didn't know how long this had been going on, but every time that his parents would come home; there was always some sort of argument about things that the small child couldn't understand about. But he was consider lucky that his uncle from his father side, often visit the boy with his own two boys, known as his cousins so Rei didn't have to get the upset feeling of getting too involve with this problem. Aside of all of this, the mentioned boy had got out and made his bed to get ready to dress for school. He know how to wear his clothes himself since his two twined cousins named Minoto and Minato, helped him to learn many things. Cooking, cleaning, organizing, you name it... Rei was able to know how to work things in advance for the future if he ever lives alone.
The quiet boy had got himself all dressed up and made sure that things were ready to go to school, he had decided to make breakfast for himself before heading off to school since it was now became 6:15 am.
He had to hurry to get to school as soon as possible to deal things on his own... He ran down out of his bedroom with his bag towards to the kitchen to find his uncle and his twin male cousins:
Muo, the oldest twin Minato, and the youngest Minoto...
Are they worried about little Rei again? "
Uh..." the speechless Rei said as he watched the oldest family member were cooking food while the two younger boys who are little older than Rei, were preparing the plates. "
Good... Morning..."
"
Hm?" The adult recognize the youngest one's voice and turn away from cooking for just the brief moment, seeing Rei in a steady outfit for school. The uncle Muo had smiled at the boy to make the morning's greet, "
Good morning, Rei-kun.
Are you all set for your new day?" the uncle asked, looking back to the food to make sure it wasn't burn. Rei smiled at this view, feeling grateful that his relative cared about him than his parents ever were...
" I wish this happiness didn't have to go away for a long time . . .
Why must things have to be cruel after that special time . . . "
"
Yes, I took the time to got everything ready from yesterday's to today's big day. Thanks to you and cousins Minato and Minoto." Rei said, thanking them for taking care of the boy while his parents sent themselves away for work, leaving the pitiful son home alone. "
Although, you know that I know how to cook so... Why are you here, uncle?"
"The boys were worried about you being alone since they know the fuss about brother, your father, having an argument with his wife Mia-san." Muo had explained as he looked at Rei after finish cooking the lovely breakfast and the two mention sons of his, took the opportunities divide all the food to each plates. "
They didn't like the idea of Rei-kun to be alone by himself so they wanted to have breakfast with you and be sent to school with you."
"I'm aware and I appreciate the thoughts, but is it really okay to come here...? What about your work, Muo-san?"
" I wish I didn't have to become a burden to all of you . . . "
"Oh, that. I still have time since my work has now changed the shifts for me, so I'll be working a little later than I usually do now." Muo once again explained as he pointed at the full set meal now, the young looking adult smiled at the worried Rei, trying to reassure him that it was all right with the three relatives.
"So never mind that now, come and eat before the food gets cold."
"Y-Yes... Understood." Rei's cheeks flushed at the warm happiness of the caring family had given him...
Oh how he wished none of this ever goes away... The two cousins grinned at the blushing boy and patted the open seat for him to sit down and eat at. Rei nodded at the given offering and decided rest aside between the cousins, leaving the uncle sitting in front of them.
"
Thank you for the food! Now we eat!" The family began to dig in the amazing tasty food in front of them, the dark haired boy was amazed even more at breakfast and smiled at his uncle.
"This is delicious, Muo-san!" Rei delightfully said as he smiled brightly to the older man, "
Have you improved your cooking that much!? You gotta teach me more!"
"Ha ha, I would love to, Rei. I would love to." Muo chuckle as he watch the boys eat up the food, he had eaten some portion before he had looked up at the time. "
Oh no, it's time to go right now. It's 6:38, boys. Let's hurry, shall we?" The boys nodded their heads and carefully eat before they'll choke on their food, placing away the dishes and cleaning up the things away until they had to leave the house. The three children walked ahead to the car as Muo finish set everything aside, he paced himself over to the door and locked it from the inside. "
Rei, do you have the key?" Muo made a quick question and the boy Rei had shown his key in the air, shined by the sun to know that he has it. Muo nodded his head and closed the locked door then headed down over to the boys. Small talks were formed as they got inside the car, Muo started the engine while the everyone seat-belted themselves and drove the family off to school.
" This was the moment I had wished to go on forever . . .
but if I didn't go on . . . I wouldn't have met him. "
Half of the students, except one boy student, were amazed at Rei for his nice features. Rei had explained a bit of himself and how it was like in Osaka, the children giggles at this silly jokes now and then Rei made. Few mumble that they didn't like how Rei was being a show-off as the girls were talking how cute Rei was. The boys either were jealous the already popular Rei was taking attentions from girls while few liked the boy because of... Well, amazing-ness? Nevertheless, the students like the boy Rei until he spotted the boy he never seen before, was looking something else. Rei wonder what he was looking at? The teacher had broken Rei's questionable look and told him to go take a empty seat next to... The boy who was staring down at his book.
"All right, Kirushima-kun. Would you likely take your empty seat next to... Nanase Luca? Please raise your hand--" The spoken name boy had raised his hand to show that he was sitting in the back of class, Rei was dumbfounded as he register the name into his memory lane. Nanase... Luca... He'll have to remember to keep saying his name right and remembrance. Or else the boy wouldn't like him... "Oh, there you are, Nanase-kun. Thank you for raising your hand. Go ahead, Kirushima-kun." Rei nodded his head as he finally walked over to boy name Nanase Luca and sat on the empty chair on the right side of the brunette boy.
" It was hard to approach you because of the things we had in interest, weren't connected or shared . . .
Or . . . At least that's what I had thought after I seen you lost inside of your own world . . . "
"Hello, my name is Kirushima Rei. Please to meet you, Nanase-kun." Rei greeted at the new neighbor of his, Nanase Luca... This had made the boy with the caramel eyes to look at Rei, feeling flustered before had blushed at the introducing greet.
"Same here... Kirushima-kun... I'm Nanase Luca... Please to meet you..."
" Since that day when he disappeared out of my life, things had changed for the worse . . . "
" Dear God . . . Please, protect my friend however you can . . .
He meant the world to me as a dear friend . . . Please . . . God . . . "
