Isogai Yuuma was confused. VERY confused.
Today started out as normally as any other day. His mother had asked him to run his daily chores around their small neighborhood and he did so without a thought. His mom was currently pregnant and couldn't do much herself being so close to her due date that he wanted to help in anyway he could. Plus with his father working several towns over it was up to him to be the man of the house during summer.
He had finished his chores, buying the groceries for the week, had help bringing them home by one of the neighborhood teenagers he knew it was safe to talk to and was told by his mother it was okay to go play in the neighboring parks as long as he was careful. He snapped up the chance immediately like any young child his age would do and gleefully went.
He had played for a good 20 minutes before some of the young girls realized he was there and started talking to him. Not to be rude, he chatted right back and then their parents got involved.
It wasn't that he didn't appreciate the attention but sometimes Yuuma just wanted to be left alone!
And then after 5 minutes of trying escape the mob of females he was pulled away by a brown haired boy around his age and asked to teach him how to be an Ikemen! He wasn't an Ikemen! He was five!
"U-Uhm, I'm sorry but I can't teach you…" Yuuma replied shyly looking at the other from under his eyelashes.
"What, really?! Man." The boy pouted, the pout looking oddly cute on the others childish face. Yuuma blushed. Then stopped himself.
"A-Anyway who are you. I don't think I've seen you around the neighborhood before."
"My name is Sa-Maehara Hiroto! Nice to meet you Ikemen-kun. And I too have been around; I live here! I just… am not allowed out a lot s'all." Hiroto mumbled looking down at the ground. Yuuma noticed he looked down and he really wanted to comfort him.
"H-Hey if you live here that just means we can play together more often right?" Yuuma said trying to comfort him. If Hiroto was looking he might of seen the flash of blue in Yuuma's brown eyes.
"Yeah! True!" Hiroto suddenly grinned at the other.
"Anyway, I'm Isogai Yuuma. Nice to meet you Maehara-kun."
"Just call me Hiroto," He replied back happy at making his first friend other than his cousins.
"Then you can call me Yuuma then. Let's be good friends."
"Hiroto?! Hiroto!" A feminine voice called out frantically. Hiroto's eyes widened before laughing nervously.
"That would be my Kaa-chan. Want to come meet her?"
"Sure!"
Walking away from where they were they met up with the owner of the voice. Yuuma was lead to a beautiful light brown haired woman. When she saw her son she wiped her eyes which had started to tear up before rushing to the other young boy and scooping him into a hug.
"Don't scare me like that Hiro-kun. What have I told you about leaving home without a guard?"
"Not too…" Hiroto replied sullenly kicking at the ground.
"Exactly." Pulling away from her son she noticed the other boy fidgeting nervously. "And who is this Hiro-kun?"
"My new friend Yuuma-kun!" Hiroto said proudly pushing his new friend a little towards his mother. Kyoko looked at the boy noticing almost unnoticeable aura surrounding the other five year old.
Ah so her son had found himself a rain guardian huh? And they had harmonized so quickly too. Kyoko smiled kindly at the other boy placing her hand on top of the others head ruffling his hair.
"Well then Yuuma-kun. Thank you for being my friends son." Taking both boys hands in her own. "Now then Yuuma-kun where do you live? I'll walk you home okay?"
It was the start of a great friendship between the two boys (and their mothers.)
AN: Sorry for the long wait. I recently got back into AssClass. How about them recent manga chapters, eh?
