Now, Ryoma didn't know what to do with himself. He was lying on his bed, staring up at his ceiling. Karupin was on his stomach purring every time Ryoma rubbed behind his ear. The twelve-year-old boy was about to fall asleep, when his door flew open. Sitting up quickly, he accidently made Karupin fall on the floor.
"Oi, Seishounen, come downstairs," his father, Nanjirou Echizen, said poking his head around the corner.
Ryoma grunted in annoyance. Standing up, he stretched his body. "Stupid oyaji."
He left his room and headed downstairs. For a moment he thought his parents were in the kitchen, but it was empty. Next, he checked the living, and froze right at the door. Sitting right there in front of him, on one of the couches, was Marui Bunta.
The red head looked up at him and froze. He wasn't expecting to see Ryoma, but he should have known when his mother mentioned the last name Echizen. Marui didn't understand what was going, and what Echizen had to do with it.
"Ryoma," Rinko said. She patted the spot beside her on the couch. "Come sit down."
The dark-haired boy moved to sit by Rinko. He stared at everyone in the room. "What's going on?"
Nanjirou coughed into his hand. He sat on the armchair, next to who seemed to be Marui's mom. She had the same red-pink hair, but her eyes were green instead of purple. The two were holding hands, which freaked Marui out. Ryoma closed his eyes, already knowing what was coming. He just wasn't expecting it to happen.
"Ryoma, your mother and I…we are …."Nanjirou was having a difficult time trying to tell his son. He didn't want Ryoma to feel uncomfortable. "…we are getting a divorce."
"I know," Ryoma said. On the outside he looked as if he didn't care, but he was a bit upset. He didn't want them to divorce, but he knew he wouldn't be able to change it.
"We're sorry sweetie," Rinko said, giving him a side hug and kiss on the forehead.
"So, what going on with you two," Marui asked, waving his hand between his mom and Ryoma's dad.
His mom sighed then slightly smiled, "We're getting married."
Both Marui and Ryoma went wide eyed. "What?!"
