The air was uneasy and despite Shions pleasant look on his face it was obviously that he was dying of curiosity and worry. "Shall we eat?" Karan said basically slicing the air.
"Yeah!" Ame immediately responded with that drooling look. The older man laughed a hardy laugh "Well before the growing boy gets the best of the meal shouldn't we introduce ourselves dear?" the man said with a phony loving voice.
Karan blushed in embarrassment and shivered in nervousness "Oh my silly me! Of course, boys introduce yourselves." Karan said in hopes to stretch the time before they hear the truth.
Shion on the other hand had paid close attention to how this man called his mother dear...yeah he was internally getting worried.
"Sure ma hiya my name is Ame youngest of the family and I major in eating and baseball and I'm 11 years old going to turn twelve in the next school year...uhhh and I'm in the 5th grade...I don't like girls except for mom she's nice and cooks for me...and since I'm not to good in my studies my big bro helps me so I'm a genius when it comes to homework hehe...and I'm the fastest in my class and will grow up to be a tall major baseball player according to ma...hmm well that's all I got."
Ame finally stopped and looked at his mom who was smiling nervously and his bro who did an invisible face palm.
"My my so your Ame your much like I thought you'd be." the man said with a plastic smile. It was Shions turn and he was going to be simple as possible.
"Hello my name is Shion I'm the oldest age 15 I attend DHS and hope to become either a child surgeon or traveling ecologist and I help here at the store along with a part time job and i hope we can get along." he said with the bow of his head. Karan calmed down a bit at Shion accuracy and respect.
"Ahh so your Shion your more mature than I expected like two sides of the coin you boys are!" he laughed some more. "You've done well raising them Karan dear."
Shion's eye twitched at the mention of 'dear' in his sentence his internal worrying turned to internal panic. Well it was their turn to introduce themselves...the older man was first.
"Hello my name is Erik I as a well known movie director I'm 41 years old and not afraid to admit it haha and I've been in the film business for a good 16 years-and I have but one son here to my side forgive his attitude...and I'm engaged-"
By this point of his introduction Shion was filled with temporary relief. As he continued Karan shut her eyes and looked down.
" ...and I'm engaged-to your beautiful mother here and happy as could be to meet my new boy's haha!" Shion was then drowned with anger and worry; he lowered his head his bangs covering his eyes shadowing his face.
Ame sat there with his mouth hanging low and eyes wide showing the confused surprised look completely. "Ma... You're dating this guy?" Ame asked completely ignoring his place.
"Ame! Remember your manners...yes honey we are together so treat him respectfully."
Karan said in a sad scolding voice. Ame blinked and stared at his mom then at the silver eyed stranger then at Erik intensely.
"Hmph! Well this guy has to win my approval before he thinks about taking my mom and I don't care who he is!" Ame said strictly with his arms crossed head to the side with shut eyes.
"Ame! Apologize!" Karan scolded. "I won't! And that's that!" Ame shouted back. "You will mister; you can apologize with or without grounding!" Karan said in a slightly louder commanding voice. "I won't I say I wo-"
Ame said till his mouth was covered by a familiar hand. Ame looked at Shion with an annoyed look.
"Ame...its ok...can you do me a favor and go up stairs." Shion said still with a shadowy face but a gentle voice. "Why do i have to leave?!" ame asked erritatedly. "Please go upstairs...ame...please?" Shion asked looking at him eye to eye.
"...fine." Ame agreed. Before ame left his seat Shion whispered to ame "you don't have to apologize...I'll talk to mom kay?" Ame simply nodded and headed up stairs. "im sorry about him...it's my falt i should have told him sooner..."
Karan said with a guilty look. "No Karan its fine...like i said you did well raising your kids...I would be more worried if they accepted me with no question...you have good boys." the man said sincerely.
(*Our little rat was just soaking in what was happening)
Karan then looked at Shion with a obvious nervous look; he was her true baby boy her first and the one who has struggled through without a father and the one he had was nothing but a drunkard and walked out on him and herself...yes she really worried about his reaction.
"...mom...I obviously have no say and no reason to doubt your decision...but I just wished that you could have told...us soon-"
Shion was cut off by our neglected silver eyed stranger. "for once I agree with someone...Erik I hope you don't screw this up to...oh and yeah a little prep talk could have saved a lot of head ache...seriously..." the silver eyed stranger said abruptly.
"You didn't know...either...?" Shion asked concernedly. "Well duh...this old man doesn't say a thing to me asks me to accompany him to visit one of his co-workers family on business and bam! This happens. I could have guessed. But he was never this formal." The silver eyed stranger said sarcastically truthful.
The room was silent for a while till Shion spoke up "Excuse me leavening I best check on Ame..."He walked over to Karan and kissed her on the crown of her forehead a symbolic thing of compassion in the family.
Then whispering to her loud enough for the other two to hear "Thanks mom the dinner was nice." he then began to head up the stairs slowly.
Then the silver eyed stranger stood up and said with courtesy only toward Karan "well ill leave things there...uh may I ask where your bathroom is?" "Upstairs to the right." she answered with a sad small smile.
He walked up the 14 steps and walked in to the room on the right except it was one over instead he walked into Shion's room with Shion himself face down on his bed.
"Sorry am I intruding" the silver eyed stranger said. Shion quickly stood up thinking he wanted to be alone but...he remembered this guys own outburst of being in the blue too.
"No you can come in if you'd like."Shion said with a comforting smile. "Don't mind if I do...so how do ya really feel about this...?" the silver eyed stranger asked as he sat down on Shion's desk chair.
"...honestly shocked and upset." Shion replied with careful thought. "Yeah...how's little league?" the silver eyed stranger asked. "You mean Ame?...he's taking it pretty hard...but I think he'll live."
Shion said in a worried yet reassuring tone. "That's good...I wonder...what's like to have a younger brother...?" the silver eyed stranger asked staring at a picture of the two on Shion's desk.
"Well...that can be answered." Shion said with a smile. "Yeah...I guess so...I got Ame now...and I even got a mom...she seems like a keeper... But it's all too sudden I guess..." the silver eyed stranger pointed out. "Yeah I agree that much..." Shion agreed as he sat on his bed.
"That was a impressive introduction you gave...doctor and a scientist huh?..."
The silver eyed stranger said with slight teasing. "Yeah that's a simple way of putting it..." Shion replied. "So do ya have a girlfriend?" the silver eyed stranger suddenly asked.
Shion turned red and quickly stuttered back "N-no what is it to you?" Shion Defensively replied. "Ahh I bet the little airhead barely knows how to approach a girl!" the silver eyed stranger teased.
"Hey that's none of your business!" Shion sharply said back.
"I bet you'd walk up to her and would pass out before saying a thing making a complete fool of yourself!" the silver eyed stranger re-enacted what he was saying them flopping on Shion's bed pretending to pass out.
"That's not true!" Shion disagreed then hitting the unsuspecting guest with a pillow to the face. "Oh no you didn't!" the silver eyed stranger said thus beginning a murderous pillow fight.
Once they could swing no more they both collapsed on Shion's bed laughing. "So this is what a family is like..." the silver eyed stranger said not purposely out loud.
He then lay on top of Shion's stomach making him groan in pain. "...family sure is warm...or maybe..." the silver eyed stranger said it out loud again."...It's just you."
The silver eyed stranger finished saying that last part in a very quiet than spoke up with the little breath that wasn't being squeezed out of him "hey, I never did ask you...what's your name?" The silver eyed stranger just smiled.
