Summary: Hikaru's sudden query stunned Akira...
Have you ever wonder why rainbows always appeared after rain?
Have you ever wonder why butterflies always circle around flowers?
Most people probably don't and simply cast them off as part of nature; but Shindou Hikaru does. These questions had always been on his mind. Yet, he never brought them up. That is until that afternoon...
Hikaru had been lying back on the grass lawn of their garden, while Akira was reading a book silently by his side. Initially, he was simply watching the clouds going by aimlessly when these questions kept surfacing to the top of his mind. Before he realized it, these questions were out of his mouth.
Seeing that these questions simply pops out of nowhere, it managed to stunn Akira into silence. After all, this was something Akira had never been expecting from Hikaru; hence, he was lost. Not knowing how to respond.
"Excuse me?" Akira blurted out, bewilderment written all over his face.
Hikaru turned and looked Akira in the eye; before turning away, sighing. "Never mind, it's just a stupid question anyway."
Akira blinked.
'What's up with him?' he thought.
It wasn't Hikaru's nature to let things off that easily. Akira was puzzled but was willing to let things slipped for now. After all, he didn't want to ruin the afternoon with an argument between them. Either way, he still didn't want to risk the possibility of waking Mirai, their adopted daughter, from her afternoon nap. Heaven knows how many times their loud debate over their game had frighten their girl and woke her up.
The thought of Mirai brought a smile to his face as he went back to the task of reading his book in silent. Meanwhile, Hikaru continue gazing up at the sky aimlessly.
