-Day 12: The New Idiot Trio: Takumi, Gerald, and Tora-

"Why are you in my office again brother?" Takumi questioned as Gerald sat in front of him. He was seeing more of his brother than he would like.

"Thought you would be lonely seeing as you're about done for the day. Shouldn't you refer to me as an older brother like they do in Japan?" Gerald stated leaning against the chair arm.

"No." Takumi bluntly replied. "It has to be earned dear brother. Go away."

"And here I am wanting to spend time with you and you send me away."

"I don't want to come between your playtime with Cedric ." Takumi said. He figured the butler was nearby keeping an eye on his brother ready to pop out of nowhere if something were to go wrong.

"Ha. Hilarious." Gerald answered in a bored tone.

The door of Takumi's office opened.

"Well isn't quite the view, brotherly love." Tora said with a grin.

Takumi's mood darkened. Who was next to appear and ruin his day?

"Tora."

"Gerald."

Tora and Gerald greeted each other. They then both looked at Takumi.

"Get out." He said.

Tora took a seat on Takumi's desk, picking up a wedding picture of Takumi and Misaki. "Had you not shown up it could've been me in this picture kissing Misaki. Such a shame. One slip up from you and I might still have a chance." He joked unfazed by the glare Takumi sent his way.

Tora had developed feelings for Misaki but he had come to terms Misaki would never love him the way she loved Takumi.

Takumi pretended to write down notes on a book.

Gerald, on the other hand, sent Tora a look and decided to join in on the fun. "I think you would've been a good match for Misaki. I could see you two together."

Takumi almost snapped his pen in half. "Do you both want to die."

"It'll be good competition to see who she belongs with." Gerald shrugged knowing it'll get a rise out of Takumi.

"I married her." Takumi reminded them as though they seemed to forget.

"Come on, it wouldn't hurt anyone to have a little competition." Tora smirked showing his fang shaped tooth.

Takumi stood taking off his doctors coat.

"Brilliant." Gerald clapped standing up from his seat. "We'll have three tests. Test number one is…..."

Two minutes later…

"Looks like you lose the first round Tora~" Takumi teased.

"You won by one inch. We aren't that far apart." Tora argued.

"No one's fault you didn't reach the target Tora. You need to fix your aim. You missed the target while Takumi hit it right on the head."

"Fine. Test number two." Tora said.

"Test number two shall be a race from Takumi's office up the stairs, down the corridor and then back down the stairs on the other side to reach right back here. We're testing stamina." Gerald announced. "Get in your positions. Ready, Set, Go!"

Takumi and Tora charged off side by side, running like madmen through the Ranchester castle. Maids and butlers had stepped to the side so they wouldn't trip up the two.

They were side by side until the very end.

"It's a tie." Gerald declared.

"What?!" Tora exclaimed. "I won."

"No, you didn't," Takumi said. "I got here one second earlier."

"Children, calm down." Gerald stated.

The two men glared at him.

"We still have one final round." Gerald told his brother and Tora.

"I don't care just name me the winner of this round." Tora said not willing to share a win with Takumi.

"Just give up Tora." Takumi teased.

"Shut it you cheater."

"Green hair weirdo." Takumi retorted.

Gerald couldn't help but laugh at the two.

"What are the three of you doing." Misaki wondered amused as she had seen them previously racing around the halls. She wanted to surprise Takumi but in the end, she got surprised by their behavior.

"Misaki." Takumi smiled walking over to hug his wife and give her a kiss. He turned to look at his brother and Tora. "I win the third round." He had Misaki after all.

"What?" Misaki asked confused.

"Nothing. Why are you here? I could've picked you up. Let me take you to our room." Takumi said guiding Misaki away so they could have privacy.

"That was fun." Gerald admitted when Takumi was gone.

Tora rested his hands in his pants pockets. "Yea. I'm off. I can't be around those lovebirds for too long. Tell Misaki I said hi."

There was something perverted in this chapter. Did you spot it?

Next chapter is called "Reunion + Chiyo"
