Author's Note: I always make these longer than I intend to. Thanks for all the reviews on the Lost and Found story everyone. And have fun reading the next story starting now, The Visit.
I don't know why I still got excited every time Takahiro was going to visit me. He married now and his wife was pregnant. Every time he said he was coming by I would rush home and try and make everything perfect. On the phone I told him to let himself in. The problem was that he brought Misaki. I heard so much about him my whole life it was almost like I knew him. I was curious because I'd never seen him or talked to him, but I just wanted to talk to Takahiro.
I walked inside to find Takahiro sitting on the couch. Who I assumed was Misaki was sitting with his back against Takahiro's arm and was asleep. He didn't look like Takahiro at all. From what I could see which was his skin tone and brown hair. Misaki was a little sun burnt and wearing clothes which looked like they'd be given to him years ago. He was a little dirty.
"Misaki works at a construction sight in the summer. I don't really want him to, but he somehow talks me into everything." Takahiro looked the same as always just happier. I could feel my heart breaking into pieces...again. "Misaki, wake up."
"Later." Misaki turned on his side.
"Misaki! Usagi is home now." He shook Misaki, hit him, held his nose, and even tried to pull him off the couch. All he got was grumbling and then Misaki went back to sleep. "Misaki please!" Misaki opened one eye and stared at Takahiro.
"Okay, okay." We all sat at the table awkwardly. Misaki drunk his coffee and Takahiro's. He was still rubbing his eyes and yawning every one in awhile. "Nii-chan when people visit their friends they tend to have fun. This may be new to you." Takahiro laughed. I didn't. "You should've let me sleep so you could talk freely. I'm going for a walk." Misaki walked out before Takahiro could do anything.
"Sorry I didn't tell him we were stopping here. Mostly because I knew he'd just stay in the car and bake. That's probably what he's going to do now. He must be mad I brought him somewhere looking like that." Takahiro and I talked for awhile before Misaki came back with a bunch of candy.
"Misaki! Why did you get all that?" Takahiro was standing up now. "We should go return it."
"My supply is running low at home. I figured I'd pick some up." He had chocolate smeared all over his face. I realized I forgot his age.
"Misaki you just turned 20. You should stop having your same eating habits from when you were a little kid." He could not be 20. That was crazy.
"You're just jealous because Manami wants you to eat healthy." Takahiro had to pry all the candy away from Misaki and then marched down to the store to return it himself. Misaki pouted.
"Sorry about this." He mumbled. "Nii-chan never lets me do what I want. I have lots of money saved up. I'm going to move out soon. He wants me to stay forever. It's too awkward for me though, with him and Manami there." I knew how he felt. Takahiro seemed like a different person whenever he was with Manami. It wasn't bad that he was happy it just made me realize how much I couldn't make him feel that way.
