A boy with bright blue eyes that were usually dull and vacant were full of panic and worry as he fiddled with his blue and yellow bandana that was concealing his dark blue hair that was pulled into a low ponytail.
"Kouichi!" The boy called out to a boy that seemed to have the same face as him but his hair was laying down to his shoulders, Kouichi smiled as he spotted his brother and made his way over to him.
"Kouji, you are here early…" Kouichi started as he took in his brother's appearance, he had slight dark rings under his eyes and his hair seemed to be sticking from underneath his bandanna. "Kouji, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kouji says too quickly for his brother liking as he knew that his other brother was lying to him.
"Kouji, it okay to be nervous. If you don't fill up to it today you can meet Mom another day." Kouichi tells his brother but his brother quickly rejected the idea.
"No, I have to meet her today, because I feel like if I don't meet her. I don't think I will have the courage later to meet her then either." Kouji admitted as he looked up at his brother. Kouichi stared at his brother surprised before nodding his head.
"I understand. Wait here, I will go get her." Kouichi says he looked at his brother worried expression before placing a hand on his brother head and ruffled it slightly.
"Hey stop that Kouichi." Kouji says pushing the other hand away.
"Everything will be fine Kouji." Kouichi says before leaving his brother near the bench to go get their mother.
'What if she doesn't like me or does not even want to see me?" Kouji thought as tears prickled against the corner of his eyes as he lifted his hand quickly to his face to wipe away any tears on his face. 'Pull yourself together of course she wants to see you.'
Kouji took a deep breathe, inhale, exhale.
"Kouichi ,where are you taking me." Kouji froze as he heard the soft voice of his mother approach him.
"Well mom, I have a friend that really wanted to meet you." Kouichi informs his mother as Kouji saw him coming into view.
Tomoko wondered who her son was talking about but she didn't say a word she just followed her son to meet his mysterious friend. She approached a young boy who had his back turned to them but as Kouichi laid his hand on his shoulder Tomoko saw the face of her younger son Kouji.
"Mom I would like you to meet Kouji Minamoto my brother." Kouichi said shocking his mother.
"B-bbut How did you-" Tomoko started.
"Grandma told me before she died, I was curious and I went looking for him." Kouichi
informed her.
"Oh Kouichi, Kouji."Tomoko said as she pulled her sons into a hug.
"Its ok now mom." Kouji told her as he and his brother hugged their mother back.
"Your right and it the start of a new beginning for all of us." Tomoko said smiling at her sons. As they started to head to their house discussing dinner plans.
