Ryu P.O.V

I opened up my eyes at the sunlight, my alarm hadn't sounded yet so I decided to turn it off, I took my mobile to look up the hour, it was early and for sure everyone must be sleeping, I changed into my clothes again, but before that I looked on the wardrobe, maybe, just maybe, there was some clothes I could use, and apparently I was right and there where clothes of my size, they seemed new, maybe my grandfather bought them for me, it was a plain white tight T-shirt with the picture of a dragon on a black color over it, above it, a black jacket without sleeves, and a pair of black jeans the figure of a wolf howling to the moon on a white color

"Wow" I said looking myself at the mirror with a smile looking at the attire "grandfather has a good taste"

I headed outside to see they were all still sleeping, I did not want to wake them up, I had been studying Japanese until late and I woke up early but I feel refreshed, unlike the city I only had the crickets at the nighttime, not the buzzing of traffic or music, I headed out wearing my trainers they were old but, really good, they survived so many clubs, the school marathon, the gymnastics despite the extra weight I used to make it harder, and the athletics team, some classmates told me to join the soccer club but I didn't like it that much I like to play it but, not that much as to join a club, I started to walk around the town, it seemed as if the time had decided to stay still nothing seemed to have changed, the same shops, the same view and that pure white clouds on that sky, I released a happy sight walking without direction before realizing I had reached a hill, I used to come to this hill to relax and lay down when I was a child, I started to relax letting my head rest on the grass, the tallest blades of grass tickling my check as I released a happy breath, this was a spot perfect to let the time go by, nothing to do but enjoy of the calm and the refreshing breeze, I looked up to sit down looking the town, it was so small compared to my old home, but, that was something that I liked about it, I rose up to head to the town, maybe someone is up back at home, I started to jog, a little of exercise on the morning always feels great, more whit this breeze, I reached up home to see my grandfather awake looking at me surprised

"You awake?" asked before his eyes showed he didn't realized I didn't spoke Japanese, not well but

"Yeah" I said as he looked at me "I, I have spent a long time trying to learn…" I started before falling silent for a moment

"Words?" said my grandfather as I somewhat nodded unsure of the meaning sometimes "don't ask yourself too much, eventually you'll learn"

I nodded at that, I understand some of the words but in the end didn't understand him completely, I looked to the kitchen to see the breakfast being prepared, some rice it was nice in the morning and Tea was just the perfect side to drink, Yuu-chan came down not much later, her clothes changed to a white jacked with three red buttons and a skirt with long knee socks

"Morning" said Yutaka

"Morning Yuu-chan" I said as she looked at me surprised "I have been…practicing to speak… with, you"

"No, no need to go too fast" said Yutaka half terrified moving her hand on a nervous way "did you understand me?" asked the young wolf as I half nodded, some words where strange but , a look at her face was enough to tell she was worried

"Is ok" I said "I need to, adapt, and go to classes"

"Not sure you should go back yet" said my grandfather; there I just understand the key words "no go back yet"

"Why?" I asked

"First learn to speak and then write, then it should be ok, but you can't rely on Yuu-chan if it gets hard"

There he got me, I hadn't understand a word I looked at Yuu-chan who translated it to me, I knew he was worried but, I wanted to go to class, if not my mind would only go to think on mom and depressing toughs, I needed to move on

"Yuu-chan tell him that I have to continue, I appreciate his concern but, I can't stop, I need to move on, just because I am learning a new language, I can't stand still, I have to do my best and catch up with everyone"

Yuu-chan was translating my words to my grandfather I know he is worried, and that he knows my mom died recently, but I don't want to fall behind, I know it will be hard but I have to try I know I can make it, if I put my mind on it there's nothing I can't do, after Yutaka finished, he half looked at me releasing a sight with a light growl of anger before rubbing his neck making his fur to stand up closing the eyes for a second looking to the ground before saying something really low

"A test?" asked Yutaka "what do you mean?"

"Ryu, listen to me well and if there's any word you don't understand ask Yutaka" said my grandfather as I nodded understanding all the words for once, he released a sight as he signaled Yutaka to head to the kitchen while we spoke "I'll let you go to the school however, I'll make you a test, about both, speak and Japanese writing, unless you manage to have a perfect score on that test you won't take part in the classes understood?" asked my grandfather but I had been doing as he said asking Yutaka the meaning of some words, he released a sight with a smirk

"Such troublesome boy, he always pusses himself to hard, he is just like you my dear son" said my grandfather mostly to himself with a happy sight coming out of his muzzle, after that as I looked at him an nodded

"But" I asked "what if I fail the test?"

"Nothing" said my grandfather "only take another"

I nodded at that it was a fair deal and I knew he was worried about me, I was going to get that perfect score Yuu-chan smiled at the handshake with a smile taking a seat

"I'll serve the rations today" I said as I headed to the kitchen to come back with the meal of everyone

"Itadakimashu" we all said as we started to eat, the little walk had open up my stomach and it was early, I was going to study real hard, but I wanted to do something outside, the warm wasn't going to last long and I wanted to relax, after we finished eating my grandfather insisted on doing the dishes this time, while then I headed upstairs to pick up the book I had been reading last night to head outside and walk around, there was a place I had to see, a place that had marked me, I started to walk to see it, the river, the sun rays on it making it as it reflected the light, it had been here, Shun-kun almost drew I wanted to jump after him but ,Shiro stopped me telling me it would be useless and we would be in danger, if the adults hadn't come when they did Shun could have, no that's the past, I am sure that Shun is fine now and has grown more than me, I headed to a near branch I remember well, it was the perfect spot, when I was a child I loved to go to that place, it was there it had grown and become much more sturdy, I walked slowly making sure my weight would not break it to later rest on it, I used to sit or just lie there and let my fingers touch the water, and I did it again after leaving the book aside making sure it would not fall to let the water running downstream caress the tip of my fingers this was the deepest part and I could see some fish, it was so clear I used my hands to grab and head closer to take a sip at the water, it was cold, but it had that taste of pure water, I remember falling when I was a child, but it was not going to happen again, I pushed myself up to open the book and start reading it, there where words I remember from yesterday, and others I had forgotten but there was still much to learn, I was going to make it, I would prove my grandfather I was ready for this

Shirotaka P.O.V

I started to rub my eyes at the light of the sun, the futon feels so nice and warm, I am sure I still have time, or so I thought

"What time is?" I asked as I looked my clock, late, we all had decided to reunite before the classes started and I had fallen sleep, I bet even Kounosuke was already there, why didn't I headed to bed sooner, my mobile had charged up luckily, I hurried to wear my clothes, a white shirt and above it a black and white vest, a pair of jeans and my sandals as I hurried out no time to have breakfast, my home and Kounosuke where near the lake, I could swear there was someone on Ryu spot, he used to sit there and let the time pass, once he feel sleep and feel to the river, but there's no time to lose on my memories, we had decided to reunite in front of the bus stop, I could see everyone in there waiting for me, Kouya had his bike and was speaking with Shun, Torahiko was lively speaking with Kounosuke and Tatsuki, Shin as usual was reading and Juuichi was just there waiting on their side while Kyouji and Soutarou where practicing as the soccer club was going to start the admission trials

"Look who decided to appear" said Torahiko with his usual smile "you were sleeping again right?"

"Sorry" I said "I hadn't realize the time until I looked the clock"

"Well you are on time, more or less" said Shin closing his book "what is the plan?"

"We are going to the field for a picnic I even made the food we are going to be eating today," said Torahiko "I know of a great place"

"Then let's go" said Tatsuki "you have Sake in there right?"

"You know I can't buy it yet Tatsu-Nii" said Torahiko "plus I want your opinion on this so I would rather if you weren't drunk"

"I am not sure this is a good idea" I said "if I eat too much I'll gain weight"

"hey you can always make some exercise, you can run pretty fast when you are in a hurry, and that's all the time" said Torahiko as Juuichi as usual punished him using the long tail of Torahiko for it, I am lucky my tail is small so he should not be able to do that still, it must hurt a lot of the faces of everyone

"either way" said Kouya trying to ignore some pained groans of Tora "as soon as this guy is ready let's move, I can leave the bike over here" said Kouya as Torahiko smiled, I knew he loved Hiroyuki and at first he was angry at me, but Torahiko had accepted it and he wanted the best for us, that made me really happy

"O yeah, guys I saw something weird today" I said as we started to walk

"What is it?" asked Kounosuke he was looking around for sure he would take some pictures for some reason I could not endure walk around that much

"Well yesterday I had a dream, when we all where here, even, Ryu-kun" I started, the mood had gotten worse on a single second, Ryu moved overseas, her mother was sick and she needed special attention so, unlike Hiroyuki, he could not come to visit that easily, in fact he might never come back or call as it was expensive, and his father was away still somewhere in japan so they moved alone

"We were all having such a blast" said Kouya "way to ruin the mood"

"Sorry" I said "but is not that, today there was someone on his spot, I tough it was curious maybe it's a signal"

"Doubt so" said Torahiko looking to the ground "Ryu must be busy on the city and for him to come; Kanata-san would have to…"

Our friend stopped speaking, we didn't wanted to say it but, we knew that it was a terminal disease, it was a matter of time, when Ryu discovered it, he didn't cried, he was in a complete shock and didn't reacted on a whole day, we all were with him the day he discovered it but he didn't even spoke, he was only there in silence, sometimes he seemed to be a doll, but I am sure he has gone back to his usual self, his eyes always gave that feeling of cheerfulness and happiness I am sure that he is happy and that's all I want from him, I have to admit that I am worried, maybe he forgot about us, no dammit Shiro what are you thinking?

"No, he would never do that" I said to myself out loud without realizing what I had done

"What do you mean?" asked Juuichi

"I am sure Ryu-kun would never forget about us" I answered Juuichi

"I am sure of that as well" said Juuichi

"Ryu-kun must remember us" said Shun "I am sure of it, he promised it using his pinky, he made a pinky promise to us"

"Yeah" I said "he has the feather after all right?" I said, trying to convince myself further Torahiko gave him a hair accessory, a green feather to wear and he promised to always wear it, he is the kind of person to never break a promise, I am sure that the feather will remember him of us

"Come on" said Kyouji "this was going to be a picnic, so instead of thinking on Ryu not being here, let celebrate that he must be making more friends and being happy"

"Yeah" said Kouya "after all he would tell us to cheer up"

"You are right" I said "for Ryu-kun and all his new friends"

"for the memories" said Kyouji his eyes closed as usual but he was clearly happy, we reached the spot Torahiko had been speaking about it was a calm and wide plain, the tall grass inviting as the summer disappeared but there was still warm in the air, there was a nice sight of the area and the calm hills, it was like the rest in truth tough I guess living here must make it like that

"So what do you think?" asked Torahiko "very nice place if you ask me"

"Quite normal" said Kounosuke "I expected more from how very excited you sounded"

"What?" shouted Torahiko impressed "c'mon, it's a great place, right Shiro?"

"I am with Kounosuke-kun" I Said as Torahiko, his tail raised in surprise ay my flat answer "we live around here so is kinda normal for us"

"I guess you are right" said Torahiko "for sure Hiroyuki would have been amazed at it"

"I concur" I said "so we have to show him this place in the future"

"you have to show him, you mean" said Kouya as I became blushed on a bright red, he just seems to have something to make me blush he knows how Shy I am for this kind of things, even holding hands with Hiroyuki embarrassed me even if we were alone, many times my hands started to sweat and got really nervous on the feeling, Kouya was a good friend but he was always like that, I really admired him, he was such a great musician, I merely puffed my cheeks looking aside as that smile came to his face, I ended up releasing a sight to smile, I guess is one of the perks of having friends how different everyone is, Torahiko and Tatsu-nii where preparing everything while the rest of us were told to wait, the warm sun and the breeze, I have to admit the sights are kinda normal, but the place could not be better, my stomach grumbling on anticipation already at the meal that Torahiko made

Yutaka P.O.V

I looked around the house, grandfather was preparing the meal and my cousin was nowhere to be seen, he must be outside, he told us he had a cell but I forgot to get his number, I guess people in the city must be very active out of their houses, there's all kind of things to do I didn't had a clue of where he might be so I just started to walk around town searching for him, it was the first time I was outside alone, Mom was very careful, since I am so small and slim I always tend to be sick, in fact in home I had to be out of school one whole year, many kinds of my age spoke about running and playing on the rain but mom didn't allow me, here, I am a little better, but she calls every time she has the chance and comes often to see me, Ryu-kun appeared for a moment on my toughs, his mom was her political-sister, my aunt, I wonder how she was? Grandfather told me that she was the most beautiful woman he meet, and that she always cared for her family wellbeing above hers, she sounds a little like Ryu but, I guess since they were mother and son that would be normal I saw someone above the river it seemed to be a branch an sturdy branch, I headed closer to see it was Ryu he had fallen sleep, it was a calm place and he seemed to have found a nice spot, I wanted to wake him up but I don't wanted to scream.

I headed closer to call his name, after that he released a sound followed by a yawn to rise up rubbing his eyes trying to wake up completely however the wind moving a branch forced him to close his eyes as the sun dazzled him, after a moment he fully opened his yes

"Yuu-chan" said Ryu "did I feel sleep? My stomach is rumbling"

I released a small giggle at that but that was an error, I ended up losing balance and almost falling if it wasn't because Ryu-kun ran up to, grabbed and hugged me holding both of us close, this is harder than it looks, and he managed to rise up, run and catch me so easily, he must have a good balance in those trainers

"Be careful" said Ryu hugging me tighter "come on, go first and try not to fall ok?"

"Ok" I said as he headed back calmly after his book, he was keeping the balance so well, now that I think about it, schools on the cities have all kind of clubs, here I knew of our soccer club and the judo club, maybe the swimming but there weren't that many places, once he reached dry land we started to walk back home but I had to ask

"hey, Ryu-kun?" I asked as I grabbed his hand, he was so tall compared to me, maybe we look like older and younger siblings

"What is it?" asked Ryu looking at me moving his head

"Did you join any club on the city? You were really cool keeping your balance so easily" I asked as he smiled with a little of embarrassment

"Well" said Ryu with a little blush on his cheeks "I was on a lot of clubs, the gymnastics club, the marathon club, swimming club… I loved to move around and run"

"Amazing" I said as he scratched his head with a little bit of pink on his cheeks

"Not that much" Ryu said "we are almost at home, it has been…"

Before Ryu could finish his sentence grandfather decided to hit his head as he lowered it releasing a surprised pained yelp, come to think of it, mom always said that grandfather used to hit Ryu on a playful way, I guess this is what she meant ,it was far from being a true hit and more like those Tv programs with a tsukomi and a boke, grandfather was trying to lecture Ryu but he had a smile obviously just kidding, while Ryu seemed to have misunderstood it taking it for a real lecture, I guess that mom meant this when she said that living in group is great I headed to prepare the rations, but Ryu took over coming to me with a smile as grandfather merely took his seat, the food looked delicious, Ryu prepared the table as grandfather and I started to speak of where I found him as my grandfather showed a bittersweet smile

"What's wrong?" asked Ryu taking his place between grandfather and me

"Just thinking about the river, and that day" said my grandfather as Ryu looked to the ground a moment to later smile brightly

"it`s ok" said Ryu "it was just a scare after all nothing bad happened"

"But it could have" said my grandfather, I didn't knew what they were speaking but it seemed something serious

"Come on" said Ryu trying to light up the mood "we have a great meal ahead of us, let's not ruin it with the past and enjoy of the present"

My grandfather released a sight for a moment before showcasing that bright smile he used to have, Ryu sure knew how to cheer him up, I would have panicked and made it worse, instead he managed to pull him to smile and start to eat with a nod before he started to eat as well, grandfather loved the taste of vegetables and always included a lot but

"Carrot" I said leaving it aside

"I know that feeling" said Ryu showing me he was leaving aside some eggplant

"I like eggplant" I said as he picked it up

"Here say aaa" said Ryu giving me his eggplant for me to eat it while then I picked up some carrot

"Here" I said doing the same our grandfather half watching us with a smile as he finished, I can eat carrot but I don't really like it

"You two look just like brother and sister you knew?" said my grandfather as Ryu chocked with some of the carrot drinking some water to help it going inside of him

"Ojii-san" I said with a clear blush as he released a giggle, he can be so childish at times, Ryu merely released a smile, I guess he just enjoys of things like this I ended up smiling as well as we finished our meals

"Now" said my grandfather as Ryu picked up the dishes "crap"

"What's wrong?" I asked

"I completely forget I had to pick up something from the Midoriya" said my grandfather "I completely forgot about it until now"

"Seriously" I said a little annoyed as I headed for the door "I'll go pick it up"

"Is just a statue" said my grandfather "is small so there should be no worries"

I started to walk before hearing someone running on my direction, I looked behind me to see Ryu catching up to me, there was no need to rush

"Come on" said Ryu taking the lead "I am going with you"

"Is not far" I said

"I know" said Ryu "but we can pass some time together"

I nodded at that statement, something on Ryu really made me feel as if he was my older brother, he was walking alongside me, and finally we saw the house, it was a nice place but I never got inside Ryu headed inside and signaled me to follow him, I was a little embarrassed, I had only spoke with Tatsuki sometimes when he came for some sweets, I had heard his father was scary, but he really impressed me, Tatsuki was gigantic compared to me, the gigantic dragon in front of me must be his father Tappei

"Excuse me" said Ryu

"Good morning" I said after him "we have come instead of my grandfather"

"a Yuu-chan" said Tappei finishing up some of his job "welcome…" he started before he fell silent looking at Ryu, I would feel scared but he only smiled and waved at the gigantic dragon in front of us "well, that not something I was expecting to see, you have grown up quite a bit Ryu-kun"

"As soon as I moved to the city Tappei-san" said Ryu scratching his chin a little embarrassed "is Tatsu-nii around here?"

"Not today" said Tappei "he is out, I think he was going to be with everyone, if you had come by earlier you would have catch him"

"I see" said Ryu releasing a sight, he seemed disappointed, maybe they were friends of when Ryu was here

"You learn fast as usual" said Tappei with a smirk "considering you didn't speak Japanese when you were a child"

"Well" said Ryu with a blush at the memories "I am going to live here so I have to learn"

"Then Kanata-chan, I am sorry for your lose" said Tappei lowering his gaze, it seems that Ryu's mom was well know, is not something strange on the town tough

"Is ok" said Ryu with a reassuring smile "after all I have Ojii-san and Yuu-chan" Ryu hugged me afterwards holding both of us closer "I am not alone on this, either way, could we please pick up the statue?"

"Sure" said Tappei "I'll bring it here"

As Tappei-san walked away Ryu merely sifted his position letting his weight on a single feet, so he had been here, and Kanata, that must have been her mother's name, but still I was a little embarrassed, he was happy because he was with us, I feel really happy about that, after a moment Tappei-san came back with the small statue, a wolf howling to the sky, grandfather loved the carvings of animals

"How much will it be?" asked Ryu preparing his money

"Free" said Tappei-san with a Smile "it was a favor for helping me with the birthday cake of Tetsuya, it was for free and I respond in kind"

"Understood" said Ryu "say hi to Yukino and Tetsuya for me please"

"Of course" said Tappei "why don't you come back tomorrow? I bet Tatsuki would be glad to see you again after so many years"

"I Dunno" Ryu said "it depends on if Ojii-san gives me work as usual"

"As if a city dweller could do it" said Tappei on mocking and condescending tone, clearly teasing Ryu

"I have grown bigger and stronger Tappei-san" said Ryu "I am not that weak anymore"

"Is that so?" said Tappei "then how about you try to lift this?" asked pointing to a statue on the side; it was bigger than I was

"You'll see "said Ryu puffing his cheeks, he really was going to do it, Tappei-san just smiled playing with him "Yuu-chan care to hold my shirt?" asked Ryu looking at me, he really was determined to lift that statue

I nodded as Ryu took off his shirt, I could not believe he actually had to train hard for develop those muscles, I guess that under the clothes you can't notice them, he headed for the statue and picked it up with ease smiling at his display

"Where should I leave it?" asked Ryu as Tappei smiled

"I was just kidding, but you did some hard work, the Ryu I remember could barely lift himself up from the bed" said Tappei "leave it down before you hurt yourself"

"On it" said Ryu leaving the statue back on the ground carefully to avoid both, breaking anything and hurting himself "thanks Yuu-chan"

I saw Ryu putting his shirt back on, he is so strong but he doesn't seem to have muscles that noticeable, I guess his clothing is the one to blame for that, he gave me the statue we came for with a smile before cocking his head to the left

"Come on, grandfather must be waiting for us" said Ryu as I nodded

"If you excuse us Tappei-san" I said as we walked back home, the cicadas where starting to sing louder, the heat slowly had to disappear, but it was so hot that Ryu had sweat on his face already as he used his left hand to separate his shirt a little from his body

"Man, it almost looks like summer" said Ryu

"Yeah" I said "I would love to have an ice cream right now"

"Why don't we buy one after this?" asked Ryu "I know of a store where they sell them"

"Grandfather has ice cream" I said "why go to another store?"

"Because grandfather is able to say that he won't give us none even if we pay for it" said Ryu as I released a giggle, maybe he was right, grandfather can be very strict when it comes to sweets, he says that eat too many is bad for the health, but they are great to gain some energy when you are making exercise, even so he always tells me to eat more fruits

"So is a secret, he can't know about it ok?" said Ryu looking at me with a wink of his left eye and a smile as I nodded making the same thing, our secret of summer, or something close, after we gave our grandfather the statue Ryu headed outside before he could hear any other assignment and we headed for the store, it was a little farther than I used to go but it was fun, I love to walk when the weather is so warm and even being as shy as I am is fun to see other boys playing or just greeting each other, Ryu had some troubles with the language still but he was learning so fast, it would take me so long to learn and in a couple of days he was able to keep up with a conversation, finally we saw the store it looked very new, the sweets they had looked so great and many of them where so cheap, Ryu bought some alongside the ice cream I picked one of mint with chocolate chips, his was of chocolate with some almonds inside but he looked at me

"hurry up Yuu-chan, look it's starting to melt" said Ryu as I looked at it, some of the ice cream was going on my hand to fall on the ground he held his on a hand while he searched on the vest he was wearing for something, not much later he showed me a tissue to have it around the cone of the ice cream "better"

"Thanks" I said taking some more of the ice cream on my mouth it was so nice, normally I am inside and hardly go outside but with Ryu-kun here is so different ,I feel much more comfortable speaking with him, I guess that since we are family and we are going to be living together that's the normal thing still, seeing him walking ahead of me eating his ice cream he is always smiling, he lost his mother but, he could smile because grandfather and myself where there for him, since he makes me smile so much I have decided it I'll do my best to make him happy as well

"come on Yuu-chan" said Ryu walking backward as he finished his ice cream "you are falling behind" however he had not realized a tree branch on the ground as he tripped with it falling on his butt as I released a giggle, that's right this is Ryu, I hurried to him as he took the dust out of himself to grab his hand as he smiled and grabbed mine back, as we headed home but he had stopped for a moment, the mountain was visible from here and it looked so majestic from this distance

"Do you like the sight?" I asked as Ryu nodded "this is your home know, so we can come as many times as you want"

"yeah" said Ryu looking at it with a smile, I used to draw all the time in the past but since my body was so weak I stopped doing it, grandfather was always so worried that I might collapse out of reach and alone

"we are almost there, finish the ice cream" said Ryu as I ate the last piece of the mint and chocolate ice cream, the cookie disappearing not much later, once we entered we saw grandfather tending to some clients, we headed inside after greeting them, the sun was starting to disappear already on orange and pink colors, I was so tired I could have gone to sleep already, not much later I headed to my room to close behind me releasing a yawn

"Hey Yuu-chan" said Ryu from outside on the door "you ok?"

"Yeah" I said "come in if you want"

Ryu entered the room with smile; I was trying to untie my ribbons on the hair as he smiled helping me, on his hand the bag with those cheap sweets he bought with the ice cream

"Are you ok?" asked Ryu "I hope I didn't make you work too much"

"What do you mean?" I asked

"Grandfather told me about, your condition and how hard is for you to make physical work, I tough walking a little would be good but, I ended up asking you for too much didn't I?" asked Ryu looking to the ground with clear worry on his face

I looked at Ryu as he looked a little ashamed, he knew about it but still it had been my decision to go with him and, I have managed to eat ice cream, and all those other sweets he bought are still on the bag, I had been able to enjoy of the day and be outside

"Is ok" I said "I had lots of fun so don't worry"

"That's good to hear" said Ryu smiling to me "I was worried you were just coming with me because I am older"

I moved my head he released a giggle, he was already Ryu again

"Either way" said Ryu "you want some? I bought a lot for the tree of us"

"Three?" I asked as Ryu smiled

"Grandfather really loves some of these so I bought some for him" said Ryu with a smile showing me some imported chocolate

"Really, that's great" I said excitedly as we walked to the store, our grandfather had a smile, surely he imagined Ryu and I would spend the day together to do something like this

"Come on" said my grandfather "hand over the sweets and I won't get mad"

"Just one" said Ryu "and the same goes for you Yuu-chan or you two won't be eating dinner"

Both my grandfather and I released a groan at the same time, Ryu-kun was controlling us but after we did that we both smiled and nodded, this is a family after all, and we have to look after all of u

Shirotaka P.O.V

It had been such a great day, we all where almost home now, Tora-kun food was delicious as usual, and Kouya decided to play a little, they both where so talented I was a little envious to be honest, but it was great they already managed to discover what they wanted to do, we parted with everyone else or almost everyone

"Come on Shin-kun" I said

"What do you mean?" asked Shin "do you need me for anything?"

"Not really but" I started "is best if someone goes with you in case you have an asthma attack don't you think so? Plus I can just keep you company on silence"

"If that's what you want" said Shin he might be not open but I know he is happy, the others can be really loud and do things, but I just enjoy with a calm walk alongside my friends even if we go in silence, we started the walk as the sun started to become a memory, it wasn't nighttime yet but, there was that moment of sunset over us, the sky turning orange and the day coming to pass

"Now" said Shin "what's on your mind?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, it was unusual for Shin to be the one starting a conversation, normally he was always aside and even when we had the chance to spend time together he was aside, he was not antisocial but neither the one to ask first

"Lately you have been a lot of time looking at Torahiko and Kouya" said Shin a little of anger on his voice, tough I don't think I have done nothing wrong "are you not dating Hiroyuki? Or were you just playing with his feelings?" Shin had ended that way making clear that he would be the first one to tell Hiroyuki if that was the case, but I knew it wasn't that I loved Hiroyuki, even more than my own life

"is not that is just" I said releasing a sight as my checks took a red color "Torahiko can cook, Kouya and his band, Tatsuki and the workshop, you all seem to have chosen what you want to do already and you all are really good at it"

"Continue" said Shin with a half-smile, I guess he was thinking that this as so like me, I was always cheering up everyone and impressed at anything

"And I wonder. What am I good for? I don't even know what I want to do with my life yet, and time goes on" I said releasing a sight

"There's no need to rush" said Shin "no one can decide their dream job at the same time, the same goes for you, if you try hard enough I'm sure you'll end up finding you way of life"

I looked at Shin for a moment, we were his friends but he used to be by himself, I was just too shy many times to participate on an active manner, that fact made us really close, Shin said that I was able to adapt to his pace, and not bother him being too active like Torahiko, after a while we reached his house, he told me to call him if I needed help with my search for my job, after parting ways I headed my home to slump on the bed.

Is it really Time for finding a job? I have never tough about that until now, just thinking that I would find it out naturally but it requires a lot of thinking, and training, I just changed to my pajamas to look at the river, the night sky reflected on it, the figure on that spot still on my mind, today I am sure thinking about the past, I saw a shooting star as I hurried to join my hand and make a wish, after it disappeared somehow I felt that it would come true, my wish to enjoy life and make everyone proud of what I would become, I headed to my bed to turn off the light and drift to a peaceful sleep
