Work Text:
Shinichiro was entering the living room of his home, hearing so much movement coming from there and as he thought, Mikey and Emma were with their friends, Izana was not seen with his friends so he was surely outside. She greeted everyone present with a smile, receiving one in exchange at different levels of volume, her little sister, excited to know her there, raised her gaze from the fashion magazine she was seeing with Senju -Shini-nii, I thought you were going to get more late-
I just met a friend and I decided to take advantage of bringing him to meet him-
The children who already knew Takeomi, Wakasa, and Benkei, looked at him curiously and other skeptics about that, perhaps he should be offended that they believe that he has no more friends beside them but hey, it is not surprising if it was with those 3 with whom more usually walk. He could hear Take behind him and was approaching so he stepped aside to allow the rest to see the Oji Zarco.
-Well guys, this is-
-MICHI-SAN! A younger voice won out over him before he felt a smaller body rush past him and cling to the waist of his guest.
His childhood friend smiled brightly when he saw who it was -Kazu, hello, I didn't expect to find you here- before, to the surprise of the golden-eyed friends, lovingly patting his head and not getting hit or insulted by change.
The first-born Sano looked at that surprised, he did not know that Take knew one of the friends of his younger brother and less one of the most sullen towards older people.
Even with his intrigue, he decided to continue, and then he asked -Well, as I said, I introduce you to my childhood friend, Takemichi Hanagaki- the other bowed in greeting and then smiled, at no time did the Hanemiya let go of the newcomer, drawing even more attention.
The younger boys were not considerate in asking them to stay with them, but they politely declined when commenting that they were going to start making lunch, Baji had to make Kazutora return to his seat to finish the game they were playing before this. The last one would follow the older ones like a puppy to the kitchen.
Shinichiro before disappearing with his friend in the doorway could notice how eyes identical to his own following the figure of Michi, he laughed slightly, it seems that he had managed to attract attention.
Michi expertly cut the meat while chatting with his friend until the older one decided to bring up the topic that intrigued him.
"Hey Take," he called as he tried to decently cut the potatoes they would use.
-Mmm?
-I didn't know you knew Kazutora-
-Oh, yes, I met him by chance the week I returned to Japan, the first time I found him quite beaten up, he seemed to have fought with someone and I couldn't leave him like that-
"You, your weakness and your chicken heart" laughed the older one.
-Shut up, you know that in the last we look alike- * (1)
He was silent, agreeing with the other, allowing him to continue.
-At first, he didn't let me help, if I'm honest I even believed that at one point he would bite me -he laughed when he remembered that -In the end, I would be able to help him as much as I could and well, no one thought that after that we would go back to see, but a few days later I found him outside a video game center seeming to count the money that one hand had-
-Let me guess, you gave him money-
He received a shrug of his shoulders -I was coming back from the store and seemed to need the change more than I did, and it was still hard for me to make him accept it without him thinking that he had double hidden intentions- he stopped cutting to think that -It is good that he is cautious about that-
The other laughed nervously "if you knew that it is like this with all the elderly in any context"
-Well, already in our third meeting we decided to try to get to know each other- he smiled widely -I am very happy that later we began to spend time and he stopped being so sullen, it is like having met a stray kitten, first fierce but then so nice if let appreciate-
-How quickly did you adopt it? -
"You know I always wanted a younger brother and you couldn't be one being older than me," he pouted.
-Ya, it's true, I'm glad you found someone- and that Take was also a support for the other, this is necessary.
They kept talking until they managed to finish making the food, so Shinichiro asked his friend if he could go and ask the rest to help order. The other gave it no problem and the room went. A few moments passed until he heard shouting so he decided to go see what was happening hoping not to find his brother fighting against someone. Well, a bit similar to what he expected was the scene because when he entered he saw the missing person being pulled from both hands by Kazutora and Mikey, who seemed to argue about something.
-Mikey, it's not fair, you already have Shinichiro-san-
-Yeah, but Takemitchy can also be my friend- * (1)
"Takemitchy?" Two thought in response, although one verbalized it and then shouted "Mikey has more respect for Michi-San!" -
And the rest of the children? Well, they were sitting watching the show supporting their favorite competitor, surely if they even had to record this on the phone.
- Cheer up, Nii-san, you can't! -
-Don't let Tora win, pull harder! -
-The king will win without a doubt-
Senju looked back at her own brother -Haru, don't even think about getting up or it will be cheating and don't think I won't do something-
-Mikey, you may be a dwarf but you have more strength, you can! -
-Ken-chin if you won't help, you better not talk! -
Pah just silently ate the sandwiches while he watched everything.
-Guys, I think you should let Takemichi-san go now- of course, Mitsuya noticed when he saw the surprised expression that the older one had, well, anyone would be like that if he only went to warn something and ended up like a pulled doll.
Shinichiro was divided between intervening or watching the show for a while longer, but it was enough with the look that the affected person sent him for him to decide to act, so he cleared his throat to get attention -hey, it's not good that they have to Take like this, Don't you think it would be better to go eat and continue with a full stomach? -
-Shinichiro! - The one with marine orbs scolds him.
-I'm kidding, I'm kidding, but in any case- he approached, managing to reluctantly separate the two children before putting his arm around the shoulders of the 2nd oldest -I met him first for what I win- he stuck out his tongue at the opponents receiving as punishment a, somewhat strong, elbow in the side from his friend.
-Take! he-he whimpered as he held the affected area.
-Nor do you bother them-
At the same time that Takes explained to the minors how they could help, the oldest of the Sano reflected that he did not know that the tiger boy had a possessive streak, he obviously knew that Mikey did have it and that resulted in a trait he shared with Izana, even if that pair refused to acknowledge him, but Hanemiya was something new in their knowledge.
After ordering the table and settling in well, he began to eat lunch. Taking advantage of the fact that the grandfather was now present, he began to talk with his eldest grandson and his, unofficially, grandson commenting on childhood anecdotes of that pair, managing to embarrass them while the minors laughed or impressed when listening to them
-Kazu, hey, can you come over for a moment? he was heading into the living room once more.
Michi squatted in front of the other -Kazu, I have a gift that I had just bought before coming but I did not expect to be able to give it to you today, since we were not supposed to see each other, I do not know if you want me to give it to you now taking advantage or do you prefer it to be at another time
The lunar feeling that his little cheeks were flushed and a warm emotion encompassed his chest when he heard that and know that the other thought of him to the point of wanting to give him something. He quickly nodded in favor of the first option, before being embarrassed by that reaction and giving a milder yes.
Takemichi smiled and with a green light, he began to search his backpack until he found the gift. The first thing the golden orbs observed was a medium-sized object, it looked soft to the naked eye and furry. His mouth became a perfect "o" when he completely saw that beautiful stuffed tiger * (2)
-I'm sorry if you find it somewhat childish but as soon as I saw it in the store I remembered you and I thought you might like it-
His smallest hands reached out without delay to the gift that was being extended to him and to have it in his arms and look at him more closely. His smile returned as he noted that he was even pleasantly squeezable.
-I hope you like it- he couldn't finish when suddenly he was hugged tightly by the shorter one.
-Thank you, thank you, I like it very much and I promise to take care of it with my life- he could hear how he whispered, he smiled softly at this and without delay returned the gesture, wrapping his own arms around his small body. They spent a few minutes like this, both enjoying each other's company before they decided to part ways.
-Kazu, if you want I can keep the stuffed animal in my backpack while and then I'll return it to you- * (3)
The named shook his head as he hugged the teddy -No, you gave it to me and I will not be ashamed of it, it stays with me-
The Hanagaki smiled fondly and after slightly ruffling the other's hair, he rejoined to, at the same time, return to the living room. The FireEye laughed slightly when he saw how Shin was losing in the game against Mikey (the latter's self-satisfied smile gave him tenderness while the jet looked frustrated). The boy with the fangs, Baji if he could remember to Take well, was the first to notice them and it seemed a point to call his friend to join him when he looked puzzled at what he was carrying in his arms.
-Cast? He pointed to the object of his confusion, drawing the attention of Mitsuya and Pah, who were the ones next to him. Directing his golden orbs at his, secretly considered, his older brother hinting that he could only handle the situation (allowing the blonde to sit next to Shinichiro) is that he looked shamelessly at her. his own friend.
"He is my tiger," he spoke with confidence and pride.
The alien smile showed the quartet of sharp teeth -I did not know those childish tastes-
Kazutora wrinkled her nose before approaching and offering the stuffed tiger to her friend -Touch it and tell me if you want to continue teasing later-
Raising an eyebrow is that the one a little taller, with a challenging look, brought his hand a little closer until it touched the matted object, the silence of this was worrying considering how noisy he used to make.
"Well, you win," he accepted grumbling, Mitsuya and Pah had no problem making fun of Keisuke when noticing how he did not remove his hand from the stuffed tiger.
-Shut up! -
Even with his teasing, the other two wanted to touch him too to see how soft he looked but Tora did not let them by patting their hands and sticking out his tongue, getting the opponents to start complaining about it. Tigre was a gift from Michi-san and he wouldn't let it get dirty.
Shinichiro stared at him once they were away from the room - what? - Asked the minor.
The raven-eyed one pouted - and my stuffed animal? -
-Again to? he-he took time to process and when he got it he laughed -Shin, don't tell me I'm jealous of a child-
-No, it offends me that I've known you for much longer and you wouldn't have given me something like that as a reunion-
The blond's laughter managed to choke off before smiling affectionately at the other -Okay, big baby, I'll give you a stuffed animal too-
The older one nodded satisfied. God, how he had missed this motorcycle-loving idiot.
Final notes:
* (1) This refers to the fact that Tome here does know how to fight, unlike Shinichiro.
* (2): In that part, I was thinking about putting the "it could be my bitch" but I don't know, I wasn't very sure xd, if you want me to change it, I won't have any problems doing it.
* (3): The stuffed animal would be something like this:
* (4): Take offered this because he believed that perhaps Tora would be ashamed to walk with a teddy even when he was with his friends. She planned to hand it over to him when one of them left.
♧ (5): Nothing to do with the story itself but I leave the drawing that I used as a separator xd (when I had finished it I was wary that I could have made one of Kazu so that it was consistent with the story but hey; -;)
