Besides he thought, he had to pick up his bike later on and he hated to leave it where it could possibly be stolen. Lucky for him Kuro-tan stopped at a sweet shop that he'd seen at least once since he'd heard about it's opening
"I work here part-time. My father knew the owner..."
"Really? Kuro-ro works at a place like this? Wow. Now I get all the free sweets that I want." Fai could see that he was pushing it again, but this was an opportunity not to be passed up. He went into the shop so that he could see what kind of wares they had before Kuro-tan could scold him about his choice of nickname again.
There was a girl at the counter, and she was talking to someone in the back. Fai guessed it was probably the store owner. He paused for a moment when he heard a response because the man's voice sounded extremely familar. The girl turned around to leave and Fai couldn't help but to feel surprised.
"Sumergi-san..." The girl seemed to enjoy his confusion and laughed. She obviously was his twin. Fai didn't know why it surprised him so much that she was the total opposite.
"So you know me? Or is it my brother. He's so popular. Right Seishirou-chan?" That stopped Fai dead and the feeling of dread settled into his bones. Why hadn't he felt it until now? It was unnerving waiting for an answer.
"Get out of the doorway, or do you want to hold up the store? I wouldn't put it past you at all." Fai had been staring into space waiting for the voice again so intently that he had forgotten for just a moment where he was. Fai moved out of the way and heard shuffling from the back. Fai smiled at Kuro-ro but he couldn't really manage to say anything because it certainly was surreal lately. "Oh Seishirou-san is here. I was just about to start my shift. Where's the manager and the owner?" So he was the family friend?
"Ah yes, I know you're brother. I guess it surprised me for a moment even though I used to have a twin brother." She looked a bit concerned when he said that, but he smiled at her. "I haven't introduced myself, how rude. My name is Fai D. Flourite, what may I call you?" She smiled again at him and shook his hand when he reached out to kiss it.
"You can call this beautiful flower Hokuto! That's Seishoru-san in the back. He's doing some work for the owner for the moment. Fai felt like there was something frozen within him whenever someone said that name. He couldn't keep this farce up forever. He needed to go and get some air.
"Nice to meet you. Kuro-tan I've got to go, but could you sneak me some candy? For a momento of our liason!" Kuro-ro looked ready to start chasing him so Fai waved a quick goodbye and went on his merry way.
"Idiot get people's name's right." He heard him say before he was totally out of the door. It was a very odd atmosphere when Fai got back to the school, the empty building probably was making him nervous so Fai decided to hurry and get his bike so that he could head home. Maybe he could even invite Chii over for a little while. He saw Sumergi-kun for real this time, in window on the second floor. Fai wondered for a moment how he'd gotten up there before a flood of emotions came to greet him.
He wanted to call out, but somehow he felt rooted to the ground as Sumergi-kun seemingly dissapeared for a moment. Fai decided that he was having a bad reaction to his lunch and hurried to take his bike back home. Kuro-rin probably wouldn't believe him, Fai scarcely believed it himself. He definitely felt that all of this was connected. He didn't want to try and look into it, no matter how intriguing it was because he was sure that he would not be able to cope. The only thing he felt that he should do now was avoid where Kuro-run worked. For his own sanity.
