Chapter 6

Mondo furrowed his eyebrows, "Ishimaru as in.. Kiyotaka Ishimaru?"

The man snorted, "Duh, who else? Anyways.. you're not stealing his stuff.. right?" he asked.

Mondo scoffed, "Why would I? I live here now."

"You're living with him? Does that mean..." the man's eyes widened once an idea popped up in his head, "Ishimaru finally got a boyfriend?!" he grinned.

"...Boyfriend?" Mondo muttered.

Ignoring Mondo's confusion, Leon muttered to himself, "Knew that Ishimaru's gay! It was about time that guy got himself a boyfriend. Dude got too good of an ass to not have one."

"What..?"

The man turned towards the big house and shouted, "HEY HIRO! WE HAVE A NEW NEIGHBOUR!"

Mondo heard the sound of crashing followed by someone's cursing from a distance. It took a few minutes before another person came towards them.

"Leon, don't surprise me like that," A taller man, who Mondo assumed was Hiro, walked over to them while uncomfortably rubbing his head using his hand. Hiro's eyes landed on Mondo's presence, "Who's this?" he asked the other man, Leon.

Leon motioned a hand towards Mondo, "This is Ishimaru's boyfriend, uh..."

"Mondo," he finished Leon's sentence.

"Yeah. By the way, my name's Leon Kuwata. But you prolly already know me," he smirked.

Mondo showed a confused expression.

Leon stared at Mondo in disbelief, "Wh- You don't know me?! How is that possible?"

Ignoring Leon, Hiro introduced himself, "I'm Yasuhiro Hagakure, Hiro for short. And uh..." Hiro's head turned towards the big house, which Mondo assumed was Leon and Hiro's, "Ima go back doing whatever I was doing. And you prolly have some errands to run. Let's go, Leon," Leon nodded and they started walking back to their house.

"Wait," Mondo called out.

Both of them turned their heads towards Mondo and he continued, "What are you doing?"

"We're just building a second floor to our house," Hiro casually answered. Mondo took a better look at their house and saw wooden frames on top of the roof. At least what used to be the roof.

The topic of 'building' piqued Mondo's interest. The idea of creating something instead of destroying intrigued him considering all the violence he had seen.

"What'cha staring at? You wanna help or something?" Leon asked jokingly.

"Yes," Mondo answered quickly without a second thought.

Leon and Hiro were taken aback by Mondo's response.

Hiro awkwardly scratched the back of his neck, "Yeah sure. You can help out. An extra helping hand is always nice."

The sky was starting to get dark when Kiyotaka had finally reached his home. His body felt quite sore and his clothes were all wrinkled and dirty. Good thing that there were no people to see him in his disheveled state.

Kiyotaka tried to unlock the door of his home with shaking hands only to find out that the door was unlocked. He must've forgotten to lock it when he went out. How irresponsible of him.

He walked inside and closed the door, expecting the sound of the soft whirring or the sight of bright lavender eyes but was only met by the darkness of his home.

Kiyotaka sighed. Perhaps Mondo had run away because he forgot to lock the door. Was Kiyotaka that pathetic that even AIs wouldn't want to stay with him?

He lightly slapped his face to stop himself from overthinking.

Kiyotaka went inside his room and turned on the lights. Why was his bed messy? Did he forget to tidy up the bed too?

He quickly tidied up the clothing that was scattered on the bed and placed it back in the wardrobe.

He felt dizzy and his body was aching but he tried to ignore it. He decided to study after he had taken a shower and changed his clothes.

Mondo helped out Leon and Hiro for hours. He helped them carry the heavy materials for building and such. Leon and Hiro were also giving advices about how to build whatever they were building.

The second floor they were building was for Leon's music studio because he needed a 'proper music studio' in their house. And also because Hiro said that Leon would always be too loud if he were to play music on the same floor as him. and the sound bothered Hiro's sleep.

They were now resting in the living room while drinking orange juice (except for Mondo). They chatted about various topics for a while.

Mondo found out that Leon worked as a 'rockstar' and Hiro worked for the government to help them predict future events or possible tragedies.

"-Don't mean to brag, but sometimes we have too much money and we don't know how to spend em, y'know? So we usually just donate some to our neighbors if they need some," Leon rambled.

"But unlike other people we helped out, Ishimaru kept declining our offer. Kept saying that he doesn't want to get things that's not the result of his hard work," he said in confusion.

Hiro chuckled, "Took us like, almost half an hour to persuade him to at least let us pay his internet bills. We're not that close to him but we knew that he was in a lot of debt."

"What do you mean by 'debt'?" Mondo asked.

Leon raised an eyebrow, "You don't know? I thought since you're his boyfriend you would know..." he muttered. "The Ishimaru family has been in debt for years now. Something 'bout a scandal or something that happened but I'm not really interested in political crap," he shrugged.

Mondo felt his whirring got a tiny bit louder as he processed the new information.

Hiro took a sip of his orange juice before he said, "It's getting pretty late. You should go home now or else Ishimaru's going to be lonely."

Mondo didn't really enjoy being told what to do but he complied anyways. He stood up from his seat but Hiro interrupted him.

"Hold on," he patted his pockets, looking for something and grabbed a pile of money from them. He held the money towards Mondo, "Here. Payment for helpin' us out."

Mondo stared at the pile of money before grabbing it.

"Share some to Ishimaru, kay?" Hiro whispered.

Mondo still didn't like being told what to do but he didn't need money anyway. He quickly left the house without saying anything else.

Once Mondo was out of sight, Leon commented, "Wew, left without saying goodbye. What a peculiar guy. Was it just my hearing, or was he emitting some weird whirring sound?"

Hiro grabbed the cups from the table, "Prolly your hearing is kinda fucked from playing your music so loud a lotta times," he joked.

Leon let out an offended gasp, "Hey! My ears are definitely stronger than yours because mine workout often. Have you seen Ibuki? Her senses are insane. That's just one of the perks of being a rockstar!" he then proceeded to stomp over to his room, not waiting for Hiro's comeback.

Hiro chuckled. He stared at one cup that was still full of orange juice, "Huh. Mondo didn't drink any. His cup is still full. I wonder why..."

Hiro rubbed his chin, deep in thought. Until he let out a loud gasp.

"Could it be..?" he muttered to himself.

"..Is Mondo an alien?!"
