"Oh, Densetsu kun! Are you staying the night over?", Kaigara's dad asks as he returns home from work.
"Welcome back dad.", Kaigara says.
"Uh, yes uncle. My dad...."
"Oh he is going to stay with us for a while. His dad left for some work I guess."
Kaigara's mom says while she signs him to talk with her in private. Wow, she really wants to adopt me this bad? I shouldn't be calling her "She" and "Kaigara's mom" like this now. I should say mom. I start blushing a li'l thinking like this. It's kind of weird to be honest. What was I thinking asking about calling her mom...
"Densetsu?"
"Yes, uncle?"
"Ah... yes. About what you should call me. I wouldn't mind if you called me dad from now on."
"Sure, dad."
I smile at him. If you're wondering if it's cringy or not, yes, it is! And am I Happy? Definitely!!
Kaigara's mom gets me the bed ready and shows me around the house before going to bed so that I know where to look for things. The bed really feels like a millionaire's bed although it's a regular bed. Probably because, I feel more at home now.
"Can't we do anything about it?"
"I don't think so."
"But they are only kids! How will they live?"
"I've managed a care taker. He would take care of them. It's our best choice. Government orders. Politics doesn't care for individuals, it looks at the bigger picture."
I open my eyes. It's almost 10 now. I slept for quite a long time. It wasn't just mental comfort, the bed really is comfortable.
"You are up densetsu. You slept like a log broh!"
"Hey, wait up! Why are you calling me bro."
"Duh! You are my brother now. Remember last night."
"Yes I do. But it's weird. You could've atleast give me heads up first."
"Well, whatever. Come, mom left your food on the table."
"They left, huh."
"Of course, they did. They are docs. They can't wait for your ugly ass to wake up."
"Ow, I forgot that."
"Hurry up now. The food's already cold."
The food really was delicious. I wonder when was the last time I had some real meal. I didn't hold back at all! To get to my room I have to go through living room. There I find Kaigara sitting on the floor holding something in hand and looking at it.
"Kai! Didn't mom tell you not to seat on the floor?!"
No answer.
"Kai!"
Still no answer.
"Kaigara!?"
"Mom and dad."
"What?!"
Looking at me while crying, "Mom and dad, they'll have to.... join the war... as medical support team."
