Chapter 6

The weekend quickly fleeted by for Drax. Amai was on the phone for a little bit, he did leave Friday night for a strange reason, yet never told Drax why, just that he was going out. It didn't really matter, he was too busy adjusting to the weighted suit. Drax refused to take it off, knowing it would make him faster and stronger down the road. It was a lot to contend with, yet he was able to manage. He attempted push up and sit up with it on. The best he could do was twenty of each. After, he was done working out for the rest of the night,

Amai returned an hour later, he smiled warmly to Drax before explaining. "I do believe I know what was happening back at your home with Suiryu."

"Oh?" he questioned.

"You will be informed when you are old enough…"

"You don't have to sugar coat it, it has to do with Alley, doesn't it? He and Max went nuts when she was around."

It forced Sweet Mask to smile and chuckle a little. "Out of the mouths of youths. In that case, yes it was. Suiryu is to be her mate and I have no doubt that it will be resolved by the time we return you home."

Saturday, Drax studied and trained, he got a text from his father asking him how things were, but wrote back stating he was training and would call when finished.

Amai was relentless.

Drax was forced to push himself, just to keep up and maintain his attack. There was no sign of Sweet Mask slowing down, Drax nearly passed out from all the work! The extra weighed suit he wore was not helping the matter! He took to the floor to catch his breath. Amai peered down, smirking. "Not bad, not bat at all," he said.

"Thanks… I'll catch my breath before I call my dad."

When he did make the call, Amai insisted on speaking with his father. It was very brief, yet when he mentioned about wanting to speak with Garou on Drax's summer plans, there was a sense of hope in him. Would Amai convince Garou to go through with it? When he hung up, he turned to him. "If this is what you wish, I hope you are prepared for it. It's not a simple thing to do, let alone endure for two months. Understood?"

Drax's smile grew, but he nodded with great excitement.

Sunday night.

Amai was clearing the last step along with Drax up the mountain. The suit was making the stairs a lot more challenging for him. He had to stop mid way to catch his breath. "Take the suit off if it is too much for you."

"No," Drax said defiantly. "I got to keep going! I have to. I want to get stronger."

He sighed. "Very well, do not over extend yourself or I will not hear the end of it from your father."

They arrived to a rather full house. Bang, Saitama and Genos had also come over for dinner, Pac made several pots of stock for hot pot, yet it was Melee who caught Amai's attention. She had grown out so much in the past month, he didn't say a word, but he smiled towards her when she sat at the table. He then appeared terrified when she devoured two hot pots for herself! Even Saitama appeared startled!

Yet, the night finished when the twins showed off photos of the heroes who were turned into babies just a month ago. Amai was embarrassed to say the least, yet it was all in good fun. The pictures won't leave the house and into a tabloid magazine. When the slideshow ended, Sweet Mask asked to speak with Garou outside alone.

The two left, and yet Amai felt Snek lingering by. Thankfully the twins pulled him away from the door as the two spoke outdoors. "What is it this time?" Garou demanded and his arms crossed.

"About what Drax wants to do for the summer time… have you said anything yet?"

He shook his head. "Very well then, you can proceed. I am not registering him for camp, he really wants to spend time with Snek, and I won't stop him from doing so." But he paused. "I don't think he quite knows what he is getting himself into…"

Garou peered through the window, he saw Drax in the living room but was soon heading to bed. "He knows, he wants to be with his dad, and that means doing whatever it takes to achieve it. The kid has been through hell, I have little doubt this will be nothing for him to handle. After all, he is Snek's kid. He wouldn't be asking for it if he didn't think he could go through with it."

Amai sighed and nodded in agreement. "How true. I hope he does understand though what he is going to be contending with."

Garou used his soothsaying powers, Amai however felt there was something off about what was spoken, however when it was said and done, there was nothing that could change the outcome.

Sweet Mask rolled his eyes. "I will be on my way then, I will say my goodbyes now. Thank you for dinner."

"Next time, try to invite yourself over when Melee isn't pregnant. We had to shop for tonight's dinner four times because she ate everything!"

"I will keep that in mind."
