Secrets Part 1
Morin opened his eyes to a familiar face. He smiled.
"Morning Mori, want some eggs."
"Sure I would love some," Morin said sitting up in his bed. The room was full with two book shelves of books and small trophies. The carpet was light green and the walls had a forest painted on it, which went up to the ceiling followed by a blue sky with white clouds. Morin pulled the covers off him and headed to the bathroom. The bathroom concealed a dark room; the paint was black with white dots all over it, on the ceiling was of the visible planets and the moon. He left the bathroom. As he headed downstairs he looked at a picture hanging on the wall. The black and white picture was of the whole family before his parents divorced. His mother had long hair that fell to her waist and his father was clean shaven and had no hair. His oldest brother stood next to their father. His hair was short and curly. His other brother stood next to their mother. His straight hair fell to the length of his eyes. Then Morin saw himself in his mother's arms, smiling. His hair was as long as his oldest brother but straight like his other brother. Morin smiled as he went into the dining room to eat with his brother and his family.
"Toma, you awake?" a familiar voice said to Toma's ear before Toma groaned.
"Kinda, what do you want?" Toma asked into the white pillow with his eyes still closed.
"Dinner's ready," the voice whispered. Toma heard footsteps leave the wood floored room. Toma opened his eyes as he sat up. He then rubbed his eyes. Man, another one of those dreams. Toma thought. He left the room and went into the dining room where the others were.
"Seiji, how many girlfriends have you had in your life?" Shu asked Seiji when Toma came into the room. Toma sat on the right side of Ryo.
"Too many to count, why?" Seiji lied grabbing two rolls. "Have a girlfriend and want info?" Seiji smiled.
"I'm sure he doesn't I'm always around him the only girl he flirts with is you." Shin smiled with food in his mouth as usual. Toma filled his plate full of food.
"Seiji, I believe you're the only one who has had a girlfriend," Ryo quoted that with a roll in his hand. Toma let his mind wonder as he ate.
"Hey Toma, your quiet, do u have a girlfriend?!" Seiji asked breaking into Toma's thoughts. Toma dropped his roll onto his plate.
"Oh man he does!" Seiji bursts into laughter. Toma looked at his food and just stared at it. He wasn't in the best of mood to deal with all this.
"You okay Toma?" Ryo asked.
"I'm fine," Toma stood up and head up the stairs to his and Seiji's bedroom.
"Mori! Mori!" Morin turned to his brother who was standing in the door way of the waiting room. "Come and meet your niece," his brother said giving his hand to his youngest brother.
"Aye," Morin nods then takes his brothers hand. His brother leads him to the nursery. "Where's Tori?"
His brother looks at him with sadness but happiness in his eyes. "He couldn't make it. You know him and his big band," his brother said smiling.
Morin smiled back, "Yea I do." They came to the nursery window. Both looked into the nursery room.
"She's the one to the far right on the first row." Morin's brother points to his daughter with a smile.
Morin looks at her, "Toya, she looks like Mallaidh."
"Yeah, I know," Toya smiled not leaving his eyes off his daughter. Morin sat down in a chair next to the window. I'm an uncle.
Lying on his bed, Toma pulled out his wallet from his back pocket then looked at the picture of his niece. God, I miss my niece, brothers, and everyone else. The door opens to his bedroom causing Toma to jump. He quickly put the wallet back into his pocket. "Hey Toma, sorry to embarrass you like that." It was Seiji's voice.
"No you just surprised me," Toma lied looking at the ceiling.
"Then, why did you leave?" Toma didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say.
"Knock, knock. Toma you got a letter," Nasuti said coming into the room. She handed it to Toma.
"Did I get one?" Seiji asked Nasuti eagerly.
"Of course, you always do," Nasuti handed Seiji his letter. Nasuti then shut the door and left the room. Toma looked at the letter. It was from his brother Tori. Smiling, he sat up then opened it carefully. He found two tickets to a concert, a letter, and backstage tickets. He put the tickets on the side of his bed. He unfolded the letter and read it:
Hey Mori,
It's been awhile since I've seen you. So how are you doing? If you're wondering I found where you live through Dad. I didn't want to come and visit just in case you weren't there so I decided that it's best to write you first. Please come to our concert, I would really like to see you again. I also have a surprise for ya.
Your older brother
Tori
P.S. I love ya.
Toma put the letter down next to him then looked back at the ceiling. "So who wrote to ya, Toma?" Seiji asked.
"A family member." Toma kept his eyes on the ceiling. Seiji left his bed over to Toma's. He grabbed the letter and looks at it. "You can read this?" He pointed at the writing on the piece of paper. Toma nodded without looking at Seiji, while he closed his eyes. "What language is it?" Seiji sat down beside Toma's side.
"It's Gaelic."
"Oh." Silence. "What country is that?"
Toma rolled his eyes. "Ireland. May I sleep now?"
"Uh...yeah." Seiji stands up then moves back to his own bed and lies down.
Morin watched his niece play outside with her father. Toya was dodging his daughter to get to his truck for a goal. She was giggling while trying to keep her father away from the truck.
Morin smiled then look at the sky. I can't wait to leave this place and go to the heavens.
"Mori! Come and help me!" Mallaidh yelled from the car.
"Aye!" Morin got up and ran to the car. Mallaidh handed Morin plastic bags full of food. Morin took them into the kitchen and put them on the floor.
"Mori! Mallaidh! Tori's here!" Morin heard his brother yell into the house.
"Alright be there in a sec!" Mallaidh yelled back. "Go ahead Morin."
"Buíoch!" Morin ran out the front door to his brother Tori.
"Hey Mori!" Tori opened his arms for a hug. Morin ran to Tori and gave him a hug that he wanted.
"Long time no see, you going to play for us this year?" Tori asked. Morin's eyes grew wide. Tori smiled
"Tori, you know he's stage fright," Toya said.
"I know I was just teasing," Tori rubbed Morin's head, messing up his hair.
Toma woke by a thonk downstairs. He grabbed his watch and checked what time it was. 12:00. Noon, damn, these dreams are taking it out of me. Toma sat up. He felt a sudden dizziness. He stood up slowly then headed downstairs. Shu Rei and Shin were wrestling again. So that's what woke me. I'm actually glad they did.
"Hey Toma! Finally woke up, huh?" Seiji was playing on Toma's Nintendo 64
"Yea." I guess... Toma sat down next to Ryo, who was watching Seiji play his favorite game.
"What's with the concert tickets your 'family member' gave you?"
Toma looked at Seiji. "He's a....singer."
"Oh it's a stage name?"
"Yes, if you want to know his real name its Tori—."
"Tori?" Seiji repeated.
"Tori Hashiba?" Ryo asked. Toma shook his head.
"No, Tori Caomhnóir."
"I guess you can wait three day 'til you see the concert," Nasuti said coming into the room.
"I can wait," I think. Toma swallowed.
