Chapter 2

“So you both plan on going to the festival?” Haruto asked me and Cecil as we were walking down the hallway of our school. “Oh! Yeah, that sounds fun, count me in!” I beamed as I looked at Haruto with excitement. “Yeah, sure” Cecil replied. While walking a familiar cherry voice spoke at the back of us.

“Oh! Found em kenchin!” Just as me and the two boys were going to turn, we let out small yelps as a pair of arms wrapped around our midsections, lifting us up.

“Ah, Mikey? What are you doing here?” Mikey was spinning with us in his arms as if we were as light as feathers. “Oh! We came to hang out with Takemitchy but found you guys instead!” He beamed like a child.

“Alright, I’ll take you to him but could you please let us down, Harutos getting dizzy” Mikey pouted before finally putting the three of you down.

“Ah… thank g-god” Haruto said before falling onto Cecils shoulder. “Jeez” Cecil said while swinging one of Harus arms over his shoulder.

“Alright! Let’s go get Michi!” You said as you started to lead the way towards your big brothers class with the boys trailing behind you.

...----------------...

Takemichi pov

“Argh! *I have no damn clue on how I’m supposed to keep those two from meeting, it’s easier said than done* Takemichi thought as the door to his classroom slid open.

“Oh! You were right Kano chin, he is here!” Mikey said as he ran over to Takemichi, completely ignoring the teacher who was trying to tell him they were still in class. *What a weird one, and why’s Nakano with them* he thought as he got up from his seat since he had no choice but to go with the blonde boy.

“I-our third years?” I looked out into the hallway to see some of our third years laying on the ground with their pants pulled down. “What happened?” I asked. “Oh! These guys pissed me off so I hosed em, it was the kids idea to pants them though” I looked over to see Nakano, Cecil and Haruto drawing on one of the guys face with a sharpie.

The three kids followed Mikey and Draken as they walked on the backs of the third years, sorta massaging them after Draken and Mikey walked on them.

“By the way, you two sure your only 10, your both quite tall for 10 year olds” Draken said referring to Haru and Cecil. “Yup! Know it’s hard to believe but it’s the truth” Ceil said while jumping on the back of the last person. “Yeah! Guess we are pretty tall… compared to short stuff over here” Haruto said while ruffling my hair.

“S-shut up!” I said as I swatted his hand away and started fixing my hair while the boys started laughing at me in which I glared at them.

After almost making it to the entrance of the school Nakano turned her head after hearing a familiar voice. Nakano immediately ran up to the girl and hugged her. “Eh? Nakano?” Hina said while hugging her back. “What are you doing here?” Hina asked as she turned towards Cecil and Haru. “Mikey came to hang with Michi, his new friends” I said as I pointed towards Mikey and Draken.

Hina was relieved and told Takemichi they could reschedule their date before walking off back to school.

After she walked away Takemichi, Mikey and Draken went one way while me and the two boys went the other. We were going to buy some ice cream.

...----------------...

After they got their ice cream, they all sat in a park on a bench. While eating two strangers walk past and one drops what looks to be a baton. Nakano picks it up and rushes towards the two men.

“Excuse me” Nakano tugged on the back of the shirt of the taller male. He turned around and smiled then leaned down to her height. Cecil and Haru came shortly after. Nakano couldn’t take her eyes off the guys hair, but snapped out of it quickly.

“Your hair is pretty mister, don’t ever cut it!” Ran was shocked at the little girls statement, then he pat her head while grabbing his baton then turning towards his brother and asking.

“Can we take them home Rindou, they’re so adora-

“No!” The guy with glasses said right away. “Hmph, your no fun” Ran said as he grabbed a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote something on it and handed it to the girl. “You three are interesting, hope we see each other soon” The guy said before walking away with his brother.

Ran pov

What was it you gave her? Rindou asked me. I smiled before replying with. “Our names and numbers”

Nakanos pov

“What was up with the dude in the glasses?” Haruto said, sorta annoyed at the guys tone. “No idea man?” Cecil said.

“Ran and Rindou Haitian” I said after reading the names on the paper. “Hm?” Both boys said while looking at the paper. “Haitani? Isn’t it that gang that rules over Roppongi?” Cecil asked in which me and Haru agreed.

“Haitani brothers, huh?”

...----------------...

“Today marks the day of our 3 year fiendship!” Cecil and I exclaimed as we ran into Harus room that was next to mine.

Flashback \~ 3 years ago

Me and Cecil were wandering aimlessly around Tokyo. We weren’t lost, just being idiots and deciding not to go home til late. While walking past an alleyway, we heard the sound of someone coughing, it sounded weak.

Cecil was the first to go into the alleyway since he wanted to make sure it was safe. After I followed in behind him I saw “A kid?” There was a frail little boy who looked about the same age as me and Cecil, he was hugging his knees and he was crying.

“Are you okay?” I asked going to his level and placing a hand on his shoulder. He slowly looked up at me and I saw all the bruises and scratches all over his face. I was horrified, this boy looked like a bunch of kids had beaten him up. “Do you know where your parents are?” I asked the boy as he shook his head.

“What’s your name?” The boy looked up at me as he slowly said “Haruto” “do you have a last name?” I asked him in which he just looked down. I reached my hand out to him and said “Come with us”

Harutos eyes widened as he at first was hesitant to take my hand, but slowly reached his hand out to mine. After that I took him home with me.

“Michi! I’m home, and I bought a new friend” I said as me Cecil and the new boy walked into my house. “Oh, welcome home.. oh, is he your new friend?!” Michi asked as the boy started to hide behind me and Cecil.

“Yeah! We found him in an alleyway, can he live here?!” The pink haired boy was shocked but just gripped on the back of my tshirt as if telling me, he was shy.

“Are you okay kid? Know where your parents are?” Takemichi asked him as he went to examine his face. “N-no! Mom left me at a park and I don’t know who my dad is” Me and Cecil were shocked to hear about that, nonetheless my brother agreed to let Haruto live with us.

“Go upstairs and have a bath, get yourself cleaned up and I’ll grab you some clean clothes, okay!” My brother said while ruffling hair. The boy just nodded as I ran him a warm bath while my brother went to get him some clothes.

After he was finished his bath and was changed into the fresh pair of clothes, we ate the curry and rice my big brother had made us. Haruto ate almost 7 bowls, not that we minded.

After we ate I showed Haruto to his new room. It was next to mine, it had all the necessary stuff in there like a bed, cupboard, coffee table, desk and even a small tv.

We could tell Haruto was still a bit shy but after spending a few hours with him, he opened up to us and we were all laughing and having a good time together.

“So what’s your last name?” Cecil asked Haruto. “I don’t know? My mom never gave me one” He looked down and started to look sad until I said. “Then we’ll give you one. After that we found the perfect last name for him ‘Suzuki’

Ever since that day, me, Cecil and Haruto have been inseparable, Haruto has been living with us since then, it was quite easy having him around since the allowance we got was more than enough to support the three of us. And it was even better since Cecil was our neighbour.

...----------------...

“Come here kitty!” I said as I caught site of a beautiful white cat in an alleyway. “Come on Kano, it doesn’t look like the cat wants to come, we should all head home it’s getting late” Haruto said, his voice a bit loud that the cat ran away.

“Ohhh, look now the kittys gone” I beamed as I poured like a child. Cecil just chuckles at me as he swung an arm over my shoulder. “Come on! I’ll make us some curry and rice, how’s that sound” Me and Haruto nodded frantically at Cecil’s words.

While walking Nakano heard soft footsteps behind them, they all turned and saw “Hina chan” I said as I went up to hug her. “Eh? What are you guys doing out here this late?” Hina said as she gently pulled away from the hug and looked at me and the two boys.

“Oh! We were walking around and lost track of time” I said in my most innocent tone I could muster. “Alright then, you all head home then- “Oh! It’s Takemichi!” Hina said making me and the two boys spin our heads towards the direction Hina was pointing in.

I walked behind my brother while holding both boys hands while Hina walked beside us. “Hina can never know about this” Takemichi said. “About what!?” Everyone said and Takemichi swore his soul left his body the minute he saw Hina standing there.

“U-uh… it’s nothing.. I was just- Takemichi stopped talking when Hina went right up in his face. “Think they’re gonna kiss?” I whispered to the two boys. “Definitely” They whispered back to me. “Ew! Cooties!” We all whispered while making gagging noises.

Then Takemichis phone started to ring. “Oh! It’s Draken kun?” My brother said as he held the phone up to his ear. “Hello Draken kun… eh but I- Draken hung up before my brother could reply.

“What’s that all about Takemichi” Hina asked. “ Draken wants me to meet up with him and Mikey kun, and he wants me to bring the kids” He said nervously. “Eh!” Me and the boys said as we stared confused wondering why Mikey wanted to see us of all people.

“Alright then, I’m coming!” Hina exclaimed while me and the two boys walked in front of them.
