You sat in front of your brother and father as they both inspected the flowers and the ring, "Are you sure none of your friends are in Yokohama?" Your brother questioned and you shook your head firmly.

They frowned while watching you furrow your eyebrows, "No one I know lives in Yokohama..." You stated and your brother couldn't help but chime in, "Maybe it's just some creep?" He speculated but you shook your head again.

"Why would some creep go out of their way to buy me a literal ring embedded with jewels?!" You exclaimed as you threw your head back and huffed in annoyance. The Haitani's had already left since they still had to govern over Roppongi, but even if they were here, you wouldn't have bothered them with this. After all, you already owed them way too much.

"Don't think too much about it, my dear... I'll have someone look into it for you..." Your father's calming voice rang in your ears and you couldn't help but smile, "No, it's fine. I'll just ask Mucho-san to look into it, he's a good friend of mine..."

Although the father and son looked unconvinced, your smile was enough to ease them for now. 

"I think we should be taking our leave now..." Your older brother muttered as he shot a glance to his wristwatch, "-it's already half past seven... Visiting hours end at 8.." The boy declared and you couldn't stop your frown from forming.

"Come on, egghead... Don't make that face..." [Brother Name] cooed, grinning lazily at your pouting form. He placed his palms around your cheeks and craddled your face, peering at you with a look of pure love and affection, "We'll be back tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that as well... We won't leave you, okay?" 

"I know that... But..." He cocked his head to the side as he gazed at you with a curious look, "But what?" 

"I'll be lonely...and I-I don't like hospitals..." Memories of Shinichirō-niisan came rushing in your head as you turned your head to the side to hide the painful look in your eyes.

"[Name]..." He whispered, raising his hand to the top of your head.

And flicking your forehead.

"Ow, what was that for?!" You hissed as you rubbed the spot, making him smirk as he squished your cheeks, "You're a real idiot, aren't you?" His words made you pout, "Who the hell are you calling an idiot, idiot?!" 

"You, obviously. Who gets lonely when you have your phone to call us, whenever you want." He explained as you still pouted, "It's not the same, ya know..."

"I know that, but we have to leave... Or else, who's gonna fix up your room for ya?" His statement made your eyes widen, looking at him in shock as he shot you a boyish grin, "Wha-?"

You almost forgot that you'll be moving in with them...

Your flabbergasted state didn't go unnoticed by him, "Hehe, you're so dumb, egghead..." Before you could jump at him and kick him for calling you dumb, your father immediately pulled your brother to the side and smiled nervously, "Alright kids!! That's enough, don't go hitting each other!!" 

Puffing out your cheeks, you watched as your father planted a soft kiss on your forehead before leaving. Similarly, [Brother Name] ruffled your hair with a tiny grin before sticking his tongue out to you, making you hiss in annoyance.

The minute the two of them left, you turned to the phone on your side and stared at it, contemplating what to do. 

Maybe you can call one of your friends? Or maybe think about what next plans you can make for the future?
