Chapter Text
"Tobio!"
"Tobio?"
A young girl was woken from her nap by her mother's voice, calling her from downstairs. Rolling off her bed and rubbing her eyes she called back. "Coming mom."
After gaining enough energy to lift herself off her carpet her door swung open revealing a taller, black haired boy. He just stood at her doorway shaking his head.
"Come on Tobio, she's been calling for like, an hour."
Tilting her head and furrowing her brows she stared right back at him.
"Kuza-nii, are you lying again?"
"Okay more like 5 minutes but just hurry up and go downstairs. We're all waiting for you"
She followed him through the corridor and down the stairs, all while seemingly paying attention to her older brother's rant about whatever.
"-and you know what he said to me? 'Oh, Kuza you'll never make it' blah blah blah. Ugh, he just pushes my buttons, I'll show him!"
On entering the living room she was ushered to sit down on the couch next to her mom. Her dad and brother sat themselves down on the chair and table, facing towards her.
"Tobio, as you know we will all be away for your next school year so we need to go through the plan of what we're all going to do"
A nod from her daughter signified for her to continue.
"I'm going to France to do some business with my team for the company, and your dad will be in America working with a few athletes for a program he was invited to. Your brother will also be moving to Seoul for his music college."
Another nod from the young girl.
Her dad picked up the conversation and looked at her with a mix of worry and care.
"The time differences will be a pain to work around but your mother should be able to call during the evening and I will call every morning to check up on you. Your brother will call you during random times of the day to check up on you, okay?"
"That's fine dad, you don't have to worry about me"
"Oh Tobio, that's what parents do. I'm sorry we couldn't change the times of our trips but they're too important. We have a few maids and butlers around to keep an eye on you though, and we should all be able to come back home during your school breaks. It will only be about 2 years anyway. We'll be back before you know it in time for your graduation!"
The conversation lasted 2 hours as they made plans of what they were going to do this year, Kuza managed to get their parents to agree with facetime calls every Saturday and her parents made some ground rules for when they will go, along with a group chat so they can easily stay in contact. Her mother and brother will be leaving in about 2 weeks time whereas her father will be leaving for America in about 3 weeks. The whole exchange wasn't really a surprise as she was already told a few months ago when they where all confirmed and also the fact that she had been planning how to get through the year without them since then.
In a month she would be going into her 1st year of Junior High at Kitagawa Daiichi and she couldn't wait to play in the volleyball team.
Her older brother was skeptical saying "You're a girl so you should be in the girls team..." To which Tobio replied with a shrug, "I don't want to."
Kuza couldn't say anything after that, he knew how stubborn his little sister could be.
"Fine, do what you want then Ao "
"Thanks, Kaiyo "
