Travels: A random hot day
Summary: Fuji contemplates things as he lounged in the kiddy pool that was set up.

------------------------------------
It was a very hot day, that Sunday and Fuji swore that he would rather keep himself locked in the bathroom to take a nice cold shower all day long. Yuuta was home that day and was having the same thoughts.
That's why when the two brothers came up with an idea to escape the heat, they followed it.
They pulled out the old kiddie pool they had that miraculously was still intact without any holes. They set it up in the backyard, under the shade of two trees.
About an hour and a half, the pool was completely set up and the two were lounging in it. Fuji reading a book while Yuuta promptly fell asleep.
Fuji was sure to check on his brother every now and then just to make sure that he didn't slip underwater and drowned in his sleep.
Yumiko even joined them at one point, using the garden hose to drench the two boys even further.
After lunch however, they abandoned the pool when they discovered the family dog settled in the middle of it, enjoying the feel of the water around him.
Fuji decided to make the most of his time reading a book that they needed to report as their finals while Yuuta retreated to his own room for the time being.
At around three in the afternoon, Fuji decided to take a break and go downstairs. Deciding to join Yumiko as she watched some noon time shows.
"So Syusuke, any news from Tezuka?" she asked.
"An email this morning," the younger answered with a smile, "He seems to be enjoying himself."
"That's a good thing, I wonder what he got you."
Fuji blinked as he looked at his sister, "Nee-san!!"
"He did say he might get you something, didn't he?"
"A-aa.."
With that the two siblings fell silent.
Fuji looked at the clock and smiled, "Just a little more time....and he'll be back." he said quietly.
