Chapter 3 of 4

It was only 6 in the morning. But Hiro's alarm seemed to hate him so much as it rang furiously near his ears. Hiro shot his eyes opened and sat up. He reached his phone and turned off the loud alarm. "So damn loud in the morning. I think I have a mutual hatred with it," Hiro grunted.

He yawned and stretched his body a little bit. He was still sleepy. But he knew he couldn't sleep again. Today was different and he shouldn't be late. So, to get rid his sleepiness, he got up from bed and took a quick shower.

When he was done, he was thinking whether he put on the clothes he had to wear or just casual clothes first. Then he decided to wear casual clothes first. Once he was done putting on his casual clothes, he went down to eat his breakfast. He could smell something good along the way. Until something suddenly hit him.

He wasn't alone anymore.

In the kitchen, he saw the very same woman from last night. It was his older sister, Mizuki. She was making breakfast for them. The sight reminded him how his Aunt Cass used to do the same. Cooking delicious food for both of them. He really missed her so much.

"Ah, good morning, Hiro!" Mizuki greeted him cheerfully when she saw him.

"Good morning, Mizuki. I see you're cooking again. What's for breakfast?" Hiro asked as he took a seat.

"It's pancake and warm milk. I hope you like them. But I can make you something different if you want."

Hiro shook his head, "No need. I like them."

"Great! Since you're here already, I'll give you the first batch. What do you want for the topping?"

"Hmm," he thought for a while. "I want chocolate sauce and strawberry jam, please!"

Mizuki grinned, "It seems that we have the same favourite for the topping." She poured the chocolate sauce and strawberry jam on top of Hiro's pancakes then she put the plate in front of Hiro to eat, "Here you go."

"Thanks." He cut the pancake and shoved it into his mouth. "Hmm, this is good!" Hiro said, complimenting Mizuki as he munched the pancake.

"Glad to hear it!"

Mizuki walked back to the kitchen and started cooking another pancakes for her and the other brothers. When she was done, Tadashi walked out from his room and Kazuya followed him behind.

"Good morning, little brother," Tadashi greeted and ruffled Hiro's messy hair before taking a seat. "Yeah, good morning, lil bro," Kazuya greeted him and ruffled his haired too.

"Yeah, good morning. And don't mess up my hair!"

Tadashi chuckled and Kazuya smirked. "What are you talking about? Your hair is looking better because of us," Kazuya said.

"Uh huh. You should thank us for that," Tadashi added jokingly.

That made him scowled, "Well, then. Thank you very much." The older brothers laughed at the sarcasm Hiro gave to them.

"Stop it, you two. What topping do you want?" Mizuki asked.

"I want honey," Tadashi said. "I want blueberry," Kazuya said.

After Mizuki put their requests and done with her pancakes, Mizuki sat beside Hiro. While eating his pancake, Hiro was staring at the older brothers. Both of them looked biracial, Asian-Caucasian perhaps. They had neat black hair.

Tadashi wore a black T-shirt with Ninja logo under a cream coloured wool cardigan and dark green blazer, dark brown jeans, and mint coloured sneakers, also a brown wristwatch. While Kazuya wore a plain white T-shirt and black leather jacket, black jeans, black sneakers, and black wristwatch. Unlike Tadashi, Kazuya had a black piercing on each of his ears. If Tadashi looked like a nice goody-two-shoes, Kazuya looked more cool and badass.

His eyes glanced at Mizuki now. Even though she was a girl, but she really looked like Tadashi and Kazuya. Well, they were identical after all. Mizuki had straight long black hair that passed her shoulders. She wore a gray blouse under a black cardigan, floral printed skirt that reached her knee, and a pair of black wedges. He had to admit that his big sister was actually beautiful even with just a simple make up.

When they had finished their breakfast, Tadashi, Kazuya, and Mizuki had their bags with them. "We'll be going now, Hiro," Tadashi said.

"Wait, it's still 7 am. Isn't it still too early to go there?" Hiro asked as he raised his eyebrow.

"We know," Kazuya answered. "But knowing how big the campus is, we want to look around for a bit before the opening ceremony."

"I can't wait to see what the campus has in there!" Mizuki said cheerfully.

Hiro smirked, "Okay, then. Be careful on the way. And see you later." The triplets raised their eyebrows in confusion. They glanced to each other before their eyes back to Hiro. Did he just emphasize the word 'later'? But why?

They decided to just shrug it off. After they went off to SFIT, Hiro walked to his room and saw a semi-formal set of clothes hanging on his drawer's handle. They weren't the clothes he used to wear. But they were comfortable to wear. Whether he liked it or not, those were the clothes he should wear from now on.

Suddenly, his thought back to his triplet older siblings. His smirk was back to his face. He couldn't wait to see them again.

-oOo-

"You know, I'm really curious with the look Hiro gave us since last night," Mizuki said.

The Hamada triplets were walking on the hallway after looking around the campus. What they saw there were sooo amazing. They didn't feel a single regret for choosing that campus. In fact, they were looking forward to start their classes already. But the look Hiro gave to them last night and just before they headed to campus was weird and it was bothering them since then. They wondered why their little brother gave them that suspicious look.

"I know. And it makes me curious," Kazuya said.

Tadashi sighed, "Let's just hope he's not planning something naughty toward us." He looked at his wristwatch, "It's almost the time for the opening ceremony. Better to get there now." Kazuya and Mizuki nodded.

As soon as they reached the campus's large hall, they chose to sit on the fifth row from the front. They could see a lot of new students in there already. A few minutes later, their professors seemed to take their seats on their left. After that, there was a young man who seemed to be the master of ceremony and said formal things to start the opening ceremony.

When the MC called for the school dean to give his speech, the Hamada triplets were excited after they found out it was their idol, Professor Robert Callaghan. In his speech, Professor Callaghan gave them a lot of motivational and encouragement words for the new students. Of course, it made the new students more excited to start their classes as soon as possible. The Hamada triplets were too focused on listening to the dean. Not even noticing a smirk from someone who sat on one of the chairs on their left.

Suddenly, Professor Callaghan said, "This year, SFIT has a new lecturer who will be teaching you, students. He is the youngest lecturer here, and even younger than you all. He just received his doctorate degree a few months ago, and he is a great addition here among all of us. I sincerely hope our new and youngest lecturer here can give you some of his motivational words today. Please, welcome Professor Hiro Hamada."

Just as Professor Callaghan finished his words, a small figured on the left rose from his seat and walked toward the podium. The new students gasped, surprised to see how small and young the new lecturer was. When he reached the podium, Professor Callaghan smiled and gave the microphone to Hiro. Hiro smiled back in gratitude before taking the microphone from the dean's hand. The young lecturer turned his gaze to the front, where the new students were.

From his spot, he could see his older siblings were staring at him in shock with their jaws hanging opened. He smirked at them, seeing on how funny their reaction was. "Hello, everyone. I'm Professor Hiro Hamada. Just as Professor Callaghan said, I'm your new lecturer here. Welcome to San Fransokyo Institute of Technology."

"Hiro!"

The opening ceremony had ended. Hiro was walking on the school hall when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw his older siblings ran toward him. When they stopped, they tried to catch their breath first. Hiro waited for them, patiently. Although if they saw it closely, he was actually smirking at them.

"We didn't know you're a lecturer here!" Tadashi exclaimed.

"Yeah, you should have told us!" Kazuya agreed with Tadashi.

"That's right. We were really shocked to see you at the podium earlier!" Mizuki added.

Their expressions were so funny. Hiro chuckled at them and said, "I was about to tell you last night. But you guys were so into your assumption about me and high school things. So, I thought to just let you be and give you a surprise here."

"Well, congratulation. It really did surprise us," Kazuya deadpanned.

"It's good, then!" Hiro chirped gleefully.

"We do know you're a genius," Tadashi ruffled Hiro's hair with a fond smile, "But we never thought you'd get your doctorate that early and having you as our professor here."

"Uh-huh. What do you teach here?" Mizuki asked.

Hiro opened the tablet he was carrying and checked his schedule, "I teach Robotics 101 and Computer Programming. So I'm pretty sure we'll meet in class."

Tadashi ran his hand down on his face, "Oh God, never thought I would have my own little brother to teach me in college." The other two nodded in agreement.

Hiro put his tablet back into his carrier bag and took out a map. "Anyway," he started as he smacked the triplets' heads with his map and receiving 'ows' from them, "I know I'm your little brother. But here, I'm your professor. So, school's regulation, you have to address me formally." The three of them glanced at each other, then nodded to Hiro understandingly. Hiro smiled with a satisfy look in his face.

"I guess we need to go to the academic section to find out about our classes and professors for our first semester here. Do you think we can go home together later?" Tadashi asked.

"I'm not sure. While new students will be busy till afternoon, lecturers can choose to go home early or stay on the first day. I'll just text you later," Hiro replied to him.

After a few more minutes of talk, Tadashi, Kazuya, and Mizuki walked away to go to the academic section. When they were far enough, Hiro turned around and walked to his assigned room.

-oOo-

Three months had passed. The life in Hamada household was a lot better now for Hiro. He was used to have his aunt only in the house. Sure, it was kinda lonely when Hiro tried to remember about his life when Aunt Cass was still alive. Now that she's gone, and his older siblings came to his life, Hiro could say his life felt better knowing that he wouldn't be alone anymore.

Funny if Hiro tried to compare their life in the house with their situation in school. While Hiro was pampered lovingly by the triplets, especially Tadashi, in school Hiro had to be strict when it came to academic stuff. He remembered one time when he had to scold Kazuya because the elder forgot to bring the paper he assigned to the students a week before. He also gave more homework to do as a punishment. And of course, he needed to hear a lot of whines and complains from the said brother at home.

Tadashi and Mizuki's reaction? Their laughter filled the house for an hour straight.

Right now, Hiro was in the house, alone. Tadashi, Kazuya, and Mizuki were still in school. He was thinking about Aunt Cass when he suddenly had the urge to see their photo albums. But the problem was those photo albums were put in the room where Tadashi and Kazuya shared a room. In the bookshelf to be exact.

'Well, I'm pretty sure they won't mind if I go in there to get those photo albums,' Hiro thought to himself.

Hiro got out from his bed and went to Tadashi and Kazuya's room. Once inside, he walked to the bookshelf and search for the albums. When he took out two albums, another book fell to the floor. He crouched down and picked up the book so he could put it back to the bookshelf. But before he could put it, something fell out from the book.

He decided to put the book first before getting whatever it was that fell from the book. Hiro crouched down again and found out it was a white envelope. He took it and saw 'To: Tadashi Hamada, From: Kasumi Takachiho' on it. 'From Aunt Cass?' he thought.

In his mind, Hiro was debating between putting it back inside the book, or read whatever inside that white envelope. And his curiosity won. He put the book beside him and opened the envelope, finding a letter. It was a letter from his aunt. Hiro gulped before he read it.

Hiro read the letter, slowly, and carefully. But after he finished reading it, he didn't know what he was feeling at the moment. Shock, disbelief, sad, anger, betrayal, and uncertainty. He felt it all at once. Breathing was becoming so hard to do.

Author's Note: Hi hi! Did somebody miss me? Lol, perhaps not. Yeah, this fic finally gets a new chapter after being in hiatus for five months. I've been feeling of not wanting to do anything these past few months. I guess that's what depression can get me.

Anyway, the reason why I make an update now because today (July 17) is my birthday! So, I want to update at least a chapter in this special day. Not really that special, though. I haven't edited this because my laptop suddenly went blue-screened and restarted itself when I was in the middle of writing this chapter. Really, it made me want to cry (T.T).

Aaaaannndddd…, thanks for the lovely reviews, fav, and follows I got for this fic! Until next time~
