Epilog [Epilogue]
"So, next week it is?" Ryoma asked the person on the other end of the phone.
"Yes. Okaa-san confirmed it." Himiko told him.
"Okay, nee-san. Ja ne." He said before he hung up then focused on his online conversation with Atobe and Oshitari.
He cleared out some issues with them and got his current agenda for Atobe's case.
Suddenly, the TV in the café showed news about a house, one that looked very much like Tezuka's, that was burned to the ground with no survivors.
Atobe and Oshitari sent him a message asking about it. He replied saying that he just heard it over the news. In a few seconds, he received a message from Tezuka.
He opened the unread message and discovered that Tezuka was actually asking if he could stay over for a week or two until his relatives went back to Japan, with them not being in the country and all. He sent his reply quickly, telling him to meet him at the café he was in.
While he was thinking about Tezuka's current condition, he heard a small beep come from his laptop only to see that he just got a new email. He opened it and discovered that it was a new case from Kisuke, which was actually about the fire on Tezuka's house. He sent a quick reply to the email just as he saw Tezuka approaching the café.
"I'm sorry for imposing on you, Echizen." Tezuka told him as he sat across the younger male.
"No worries, Tezuka-sempai." Ryoma said as he shut down and kept his laptop.
"Were you able to save some of your stuff?" Ryoma asked.
The older male shook his head from side to side.
"Let's go to my place and check if Nanako-san still kept some of Ryoga-nii's old clothes." Ryoma told him as he paid the bill.
"Thank you, Echizen." Tezuka said as they left the café. "Like I said earlier, it's okay with me, sempai." Ryoma replied.
Tezuka nodded. When he felt a hand on his arm, he turned his head to see Ryoma smiling at him reassuringly. He gave a small smile in return.
A comfortable and peaceful silence settled between the two males as they made their way to the Echizen household. Ryoma's attention shifted when he felt his phone vibrate. He checked the message.
"Job finished."
That's what the message contained, which made a dark and mischievous smile grace Ryoma's lips.
Great.
A/N: I avoided the urge to place a shounen-ai moment and this is what I got. hehehehe...
