I feel like I've ruined the story a little.

See, the auctioneer just assumed Haru's age. He didn't actually know how old he was, but Haru's a quite tall boy for an eight year old.

May contain some typos as well.

I don't know man.

The frightened boy scurried to the opposite corner of the vehicle, away from the intimidating looking man. Makoto's head dropped and he sighed, he stayed still in the same position he was in when he pinned the boy down.

"Come here, little boy, let uncle take better care of you. I'll make you some hot chocolate, that sound good?" The scary looking man's face turned soft, at least he tried. He leaned down and pushed Makoto away, and extended his hands to Haru.

"Come on, don't be scared." He smiled when Haru jumped to his arms, holding onto him tightly. He knew he had to get the boy to the warm house as soon as possible, because the boy was half naked and was only wearing underwear a size too big for him.

Rei offered him his jacket. Haru declined but Rei forced him to wear it. He took Haru up and carried him inside.

Haru looked back and saw Makoto get out of the vehicle, he was in for a surprise when Makoto wasn't his coo coo self, in fact, he was smiling at them. Makoto blew him a kiss and turned to the red haired man. Makoto nodded his head to the driver and he bowed immediately and got into the car. Haru's gaze was fixated on the car that began to move inside a huge garage that was part of the huge mansion. As they gained some distance from the man, Haru faced forward.

"What's your name little boy? And how old are you?" The blue haired man asked amazed as he placed the boy on a tall chair. A young boy like him should be at home with his family or outside playing with other kids.

"I'm six" Haru answered quietly, his voice barely audible.

Rei nodded understanding and started making some hot chocolate for the both of them. The boy lowered his head and started to play with the hem of his boxers, "Mako… Makoto calls me Haru" Haru answered quietly.

"I-I see, ehm. What was your… um, previous name, if I may ask?" He turned around blushing at how cute the little one was, he could see why his boss took sudden interest in him.

Makoto was supposed to buy an extremely rare vase circa 1800-century, but he ended up buying something much more valuable than that. When Haru gave no response, he decided to tend the scalding drinks. He poured the delicious dark drink, with whipped cream on top of it, for both of them. Rei sat down next to him. "Well, Haru suits you well. My name is Ryuugazaki Rei, but please call me Rei."

Rei noticed Haru to be not so talkative, but it didn't bother him with it, he'd wait for him to come out of his shell, even if it took him an eternity, but not too long of that said eternity, because he had other important things to manage at this household.

Haru avoided eye-contact, said nothing and took a small sip of the drink offered to him. The house he was located was huge, tall warm caramel walls made him feel welcomed, with dark brown, heavy drapes on the windows. They were not completely denying the outside light inside, only a little.

"I don't— I don't like.." Haru trailed off, his shyness overpowering him. He took another sip of his hot coco.

Rei chugged it all down and tilted his head slightly to the left, he was confused as to why was the boy being so shy, must have been the nerves. "Don't be shy. You have to express your feelings, if you don't like something you should say it otherwise your voice will never be heard" Rei gave words of encouragement to Haru, who still avoided eye-contact, but nodded. as a response.

He went over to Haru and rubbed his back smiling warmly at him. "I don't want to ask you how or why you got here, because it clearly isn't my business, but I can still help you get accustomed to this new environment that you'll be living in for what I assume would be a long time. Makoto would take good care of you, I know he will."

Rei could feel Haru shake under his touch. What Haru heard made him feel less nervous somehow, but couldn't stop shaking. Suddenly, the kitchen door was kicked open and a short, blond male barged in.

"REEEEIIII-CHAAANNN!" He shouted, elation in his tone, "Oh, who's this? He looks cute!" The hyped up male ran straight to shaken up Haru. He fiddled with his hair, his hands and grabbed his face by his cheeks and tilted Haru's head left and right "he looks perfect. Where did you find him?"

"Nagisa, stop that, you'll scare him even more. Oh—" Rei raised both of his hands and waved them up and down to calm down the two. Haru grabbed onto Rei's suit and buried his face to his abdomen, Haru's back was turned to amused Nagisa.

Rei patted Haru's head, his hair was so soft that he smiled a little. "Makoto uh… bought him from some kind of an auction. Weren't you supposed to be with boss?"

"Nah, Rin-Rin's with him now. They're in the backyard talking or some shit, but I like this one. This cute mothafucka." He made a dismissing expression with his hand, and poked Haru on the back. He laughed when the small figure twitched.

"Nagisa! No cursing around kids, you can't do that freely anymore. Remember that." Rei scolded Nagisa and pushed his glasses up with his thumb and pinky with a serious face. He looked down to see that the little boy was still clinging onto him like a baby monkey and smiled once more.

"Meh, whatever. I'm gonna go change. Later yo!"
