Aya woke to a vacuum. He got out of bed and padded over to the bedroom door. He looked out and beamed.
"Okaachan!" the woman froze and looked at him. She smiled and hugged him. " I didn't know you were coming today."
"This place is a mess." Severus drawled from the couch. "Come eat your breakfast, Aya."
Aya nodded and walked over to the table and began eating his breakfast with Severus. Severus noted Midori was watching while still cleaning.
"I have to work this morning." Severus told Aya "But I thought we would go do something this afternoon if you want."
"I don't care." Aya replied, hoping Remus had done what he'd asked. "But then again I've never been to England before. Well, not since I was born. "
"Exactly, " Severus agreed, "I'm going to show you around a little."
"Okay." Aya agreed, with a shrug. "Work hard."
Severus smiled at Aya.
"Boss." Remus said an hour after work started. " Aya wanted me to get these for you. I think he's trying to tell you something."
Severus frowned and opened the bag to see Manga. He pulled one out and began looking through it. He quickly knew he'd be reading them. He also thought he could guess a little of what Aya wanted to teach him.
"very well. " he tossed Remus a roll of money. "That should compensate you for what you spent on these."
"This is more than what I spent. " Remus replied, "A lot more."
"Take it as a thank you for doing as Aya told you." Severus waved it off and began searching for the first issue. He than began reading. The faster he learned what his Aya was trying to tell him the better. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get to work!"
"Yes, Boss. " Remus said, "But which Job? Buying things for Aya or my normal job?"
Severus picked his phone up and soon Remus' phone was vibrating.
"Yes, boss."
Aya lay on the couch reading hours later when Remus came in. Remus looked surprised to see him out of the room.
"Morning, Remus." Aya said sitting up, "Okaachan left two hours ago. What are you doing up here today?"
"Boss, had me buy you a laptop . " He replied, setting the box on the table. "He began reading them as soon as I gave them to him. I also brought lunch."
"Thank you for working so hard." Aya beamed at him. Remus smiled back and they began eating . "Will you help me set it up?"
"Of course."
It took them an hour to figure out how to connect it to the internet after getting everything else set up. (This is from my personal experience with getting my laptop. Of course it took me four minuets just to figure out where the on button was. It helped when I found my glasses. I had to ask my sister for help. I'd never been near a laptop before.) After that Remus got a text and had to go. He said good bye and left.
Aya was properly distracted and didn't even notice when Severus returned home at 3.
Severus smiled at Aya when he arrived home. He watched for a few moments then cleared his throat. Aya jumped up and looked at him.
"I'm home."
"Welcome, home." Aya replied, looking a little nervous, he could guess why. "Thank you for working hard."
Severus dipped his head in acknowledgment .
"Are you ready to go out now, Aya?"
Aya nodded. He had gotten dressed earlier. So he got up and grabbed his back pack. Severus took his hand and they rode the elevator down to the lobby. They went out to the car to see Remus trying to shoo a desperate looking James away while Sirius roared with laughter.
"Enough!" Severus growled, all three jumped, " I told you that I was taking Aya out today! Do you really want to feel my wrath for delaying us?!"
"No, sir." all three replied, "Sorry, sir."
James opened the back of the limo for the two of them. Aya got in thanking him. Severus glared at the three of them.
"I'm not re assigning you, James." he stated, "I have not found anyone to manage the business when I do you will be the first to know. " James sighed, " Now you'll be driving today and the three of you will do your jobs and protect Aya from any and all harm."
Severus got in and Sirius spoke.
"Since when is that our job?"
"I have too many jobs." Remus sighed , "Oh, well."
He followed Severus into the car. Sirius shrugged as James shut the door the two of them would ride up front. James looked on the verge of a break down.
Aya was having a great night. He'd been taken to two museums and two art museums. They were now sitting in a nice restaurant. In a private booth with the guys sitting at a near by table protecting them and also eating. Aya had never had pizza before but had heard of it. He took a bite of his cooled off slice of pizza. It tasted amazing. They were in an Italian restaurant and people would glance over at them but quickly looked away.
"Do you like the food?"
Aya nodded at Severus as he chewed and wiped his mouth. He liked it a lot. When he'd swallowed he took a drink of his milk. Severus was drinking a glass of wine.
"It's very good." Aya beamed, "I always heard that but I've never had it before. This is taco?"
"That's right." Severus replied having just swallowed his own bite. "I enjoy food like this every now and then. "
"were you always rich?" Aya quickly looked down at his plate."I"m sorry that's none of my business."
"No I wasn't." Severus replied, Aya glanced up. " I grew much like you did with no money and very little to eat. My father was like yours except he was a drunk and abusive as well. One night when I was 16 he killed my mother and turned on me. I was a weak kid back then. We were in this parking lot near a casino. Mum and I had come to get dad because he was gambling away our rent and food money for that month. Any way he killed her and turned on me. When a man saved me..." He hummed to himself and sipped his wine. Aya was enthralled he was finally learning something about Severus. " This man killed my father right there before my eyes then took me with him and taught me to be what I am to day."
"You had to watch both your parents die?" Aya asked looking about to cry. "That's terrible."
"Not really." Severus replied smiling at his Aya. "My father beat me shitless every chance he got and my mum never protected me. I really couldn't bring myself to care or feel anything over it. " he sighed, "Don't cry , Aya."
"You wont." Aya said, "So I'll cry for you."
"They don't deserve tears." Severus replied shaking his head. "If you wish to cry then cry for your birth mother."
"What happened to her?"
Severus sighed in thought lost in memories. Aya noticing this left him to his thought and continued eating.
