A Shift In Reality

Chapter 8

'home'

It's been a few days since the new additions. More routines were added to the mix, it seems Izana and every Mikey wanted their older brother attention like newborn baby birds. Following him like he was their mother. It's almost always rare to see Shinichiro by himself, but he never commented on it.

Even if he was younger than some older versions of his little brother, he still treated them brotherly. An older brother undertone towards his actions which was pretty sweet if [Name] thought about it.

It was a slow day, some of the smartest of the bunch were analyzing the letter for days, ever since the last box arrived. They looked at the note on the letter and the address that was on the box— very different from each of their boxes as their cardboard was bare, but they didn't linger on it because Kisaki and Kokonoi took them. They said that it could be a clue on how to get home, so who were they to object; especially the dumb ones.

The next few days flew by pretty quick with [Name] lounging with either Wakasa or Taiju, surprisingly. Although, the platinum haired male couldn't help but feel swindle while doing this. He's never fell for a girl THIS hard. It was usually the other way around. He let a furètes sigh escape his mouth, before grabbing the remote to the side to turn on the 'Smart TV'. A strange updated version of the box TV's they had in their time— universe? He didn't know the details, he just knows he's not in the right timeline.

The girl from his side got up to get something from the kitchen, asking the purple eyes male if he wanted something.

"I'm good, sweet cheeks. You've done enough for us already," he grinned, secretly proud to see the [Blush/ Flustered] look on her foreign cheeks. He couldn't help but feel joy in doing so. [Name] turned around, muttering about something about white hair boys? Wakasa didn't know, but she left the room. She was strange, but in a good way— not a Shinichiro strange.

Leaning his head back, while closing his grape color eyes.

'What a strange girl....'

"So you like her." A voice said from behind him. If he didn't show himself jumping, his heart beating was certainly a clue about his surprise, but he kept a monotone cocky face. Before him, was his friend. Shinichiro, with a knowing smile.

"And how would you know that?" Wakasa spoke. Claiming his neck back to see the tall Japanese male. Shinichiro hopped on the couch before grabbing the other shoulders while smiling.

"Because I like her too," he said laughing, a nervous hint to it. He didn't have the best of luck with girls but he felt maybe this time it could be different. Like it could work. He oddly didn't feel against the idea of sharing, better to have her than not to. Those passed experiences weren't the best part of his life. But hey! It was a new chapter of his life, of this world, so just maybe he could date her.

Their conversation was cut short by the door opening, "Coco" and Kisaki leads their way through the room with a grin on their face. Their joy almost tangible, making the other men in the room curious. What could have gotten these two in a fit of joy? They were unusually happy which was weird for the short time they've known them.

"You might want to get the others," Kokonoi spoke, covering his grin with a smirk. The action made everyone in the room, besides the bleach blond, confuse.

"Why is that?" Shinichiro asked, his dark black hair covering his forehead. He swiped it back before looking even more curious.

"We found a way to get home."

[A/n:....hey y'all 👋....I know I haven't been updating and this chapter is really short, but schools been kicking my ass 💀. I'm not even exaggerating.
