Seven year old Atobe Keigo does not like big surprises but when his parents came up to him one day with a little boy about two years younger he was not too happy. He really wanted to sulk in his room in defiance to their idea.

When his parents explained what happened to his new little brother he told himself that he didn't care. He just wanted the brat gone. Making up his mind, he almost completely ignored the conversation they were having in the living room at the moment.

"Ryoma, this is Atobe Keigo, our son. This is also your new brother. We hope that you enjoy yourself here and consider this place our home." Keigo's mother said to the brat.

The brat made some rude gestures in response.

"I'm sorry dear but I don't know what you are saying. Do you think you could write it down until we learn more?" Ryoma nodded.

Ryoma was given a pen and paper. When he was done writing he handed the page to Kei's mother.

Can I please go to my room? I want to unpack if I'm staying here for any length of time.

"Oh! Of course. Your room is beside ours, on the left hand side. One of the maids will show you up." His mother called three maids to help carry Ryoma's bags. "Keigo, please wait a moment. We have something to discuss."

Once the brat was gone Keigo pouted on the couch.

"Keigo, we didn't want to say this in front of him but his background is very unpleasant. His parents, our dear friends, were killed in a car accident two weeks. Ryoma has been mute since birth so he couldn't warn his parents about the drunk driver. As we are his godparents we got custody over him. We will have to go to America to take care of his property and inheritance. His father was the owner of the Echizen-Smith company. Eventually Ryoma will have to take over but for now we will try to give him a childhood he deserves." His mother told him.

The Echizen-Smith company was one of the biggest companies around. You don't piss off an Echizen and get away with it. Now that Ryoma was under his roof he would have to be careful. He wouldn't be the only one fighting for affection.

But one way or another Keigo would be the only person to have his parents affection.
