"Change is inevitable. Change is constant."
— Benjamin Disraeli.

"I like the way who I am."

"You don't even know who you are."

The two of them walk together with their bikes on their side.

"Bro, no need to go that far. You just get dump by one of your girls." Said by the smaller male, countering the comment of his older brother.

"Hey brat. watch it. You can't understand it yet because you're still a minor." His brother said, in his annoyance because the man is only two years older than him. "Seriously?" "Yeah, seriously."

The silence got pregnant after the conversation. They continue to walk in their comfortable silence.

"Mom, we're home!" Said by the younger one. "Oh my babies!" Their mother said, pulling them in embrace and giving them a kisses. Just like old days.

"Get change already you both. Dinner is ready in a minute or two!" Their mother said leaving them to continue to prepare the meal on their table. The both of them went to their room to get change.

After changing, they went to join their parents that is waiting for them. People might find their family weird, and he won't argue with that because it is weird. None of this family members shares the same blood.

You see, this make up family of them is a everything for them. Isagi Iyo and Isagi Isse are a couple who can't have a child, their relationship was strengthen by their love, trust and contentedness to each other that's why they are still together despite of not having a child.

The oldest child of them was named, Oliver Aiku. He is a good for nothing child of his parents. He refused to carry the burdens of his parents that they are passing to him, that's why at the age of 10 he ran away. No money, no clothes, just impulsively ran away from all of his parents responsibility. Alone in street, beat up, starved.

He thought those times, "Maybe living with those trash are better than this..." because he know for sure he will die in any days if this continues. Then he met his now parents. He gave him shelter, food, clothes, water, life, and hope. Then again, those dying thoughts of him chimed in his mind one more time, "I'm glad I ran away." The couple win him in custody, they're sure willing to do everything to give him a life he can live, he even suggested if he could bare the name of his now parents, but they refuse, because no matter what name he was carrying, He is their child, and will always be.

Yoichi is a special case. Aiku think it was weird why Yoichi could bare the name of Isagi while he came to the family last? Yoichi is a very timid boy, the boy was dropped off to their house with a woman by his side. He is 13 years old the time when Yoichi join the family. The day Yoichi arrived, it felt something weird. The adults were talking to each other and unlike other kids at his age, Yoichi is quietly seated in front of him. That time was memorable for him, however his memory is blurred for as long he can remember, the woman that dropped off Yoichi told his parents that he must avoid public interaction, thus are the reason why Isagi Yoichi is homeschooled.

Adjusting with his new family member, it takes a while to get to close to the boy. He nearly lost it but he remembers that Yoichi was hidden by the people, most likely doesn't know how to communicate, start, prolong or even hold a conversation. If Yoichi would make a mistake, no words just head down apology and then will clean his mess or correct his mistake in instant. He thought the boy was mute but that changes when he catches the boy alone in their rooftop, stargazing by his own.

He present his presence to Yoichi and join him. That is when he first heard Yoichi's voice. For the first time in sixth month after Yoichi joining the family, he finally speak and it was to him! That is how far his brain can recollect because according to him, one day he woke up and he is an older brother that is close to his younger brother.
