Chapter 13 - Chapteter 13

A couple of weeks later, Rostuo packed his stuff in his suitcase. He took a deep breath and walked out of his room. Chrom waited for him downstairs in the cafe. Chrom got up and helped Rostuo with his suitcase.

"Bye, Rostuo, see you around town." Jennifer smiled.

"See ya around, Coco!" Rostuo grinned.

Sayuri ruined the moment with her loud wails. Chrom was awkward in this situation as Jennifer rolled her eyes.

"Sayuri, he is not leaving forever. We will see him around town." Jennifer started to calm her cousin. Akane places a gift box in Rostuo's hands. Rostuo eyes shine as he gave Akane a hugged.

"Thanks, Aunt." Rostuo smiled.

"Your welcome, Rostuo, Chrom take good care of him," Akane said.

Chrom nodded, " I will do the best I can in raising Rostuo."

The girls waved as Rostuo left the cafe. Chrom placed Rostuo's Suitcase at the trunk and opened the door. Rostuo waved at the cafe when he walked in. Chrom closed the door before getting in the driver seat. He turned on the car and drove home.

"You're like famous around here," Chrom stated.

"Well, everyone in town knows about me. They call me the small pup." Rostuo Laughed.

"Small pup, So were you in charge of the disaster toward Mr. Fuller's garden?"Chrom asked.

"Yes, But I swear I did not mean to do it. Someone from school told me there Mr. Fuller had buried treasure, such a letdown." Rostuo stated.

"I can't blame you, really. From now on, you get to dig up Cheren's garden however you like." Chrom smiled.

"I get to have some space to run around and play with Mana, right?" Rostuo smiled.

Chorm nodded with a smile, As Rostuo cheered in the back of the car. Rostuo started to cant out of excitement. As Chrom stopped at the front of the house, Rostuo got out of the car. Chrom opened the trunk and got out the suitcase. Chrom walked to the front of the house and opened it. Rostuo ran behind Chrom, following him inside. Rostuo eyes shine as he ran around the house.

" Rostuo, this is not your first time here," Chrom stated.

"I know, I just can't believe I am living with Geneses!" Rostuo grinned.

Chrom laughed as he brought the suitcase to one of the upstairs rooms. Rostuo followed behind him in glee.

"So, this shall be my room!" Rostuo Cried.

Chrom nodded as he placed the suit down on the ground as he opened the closet. Rostuo tail kept wagging to the max. Chrom could not hold his laugher as he helped Rostuo hang his clothes upon the closet.

"So can call you brother now?" Rostuo asked.

"Call me whatever you feel comfortable with."Chrom smiles.

Rostuo smiles with Chrom. Mana walked into the room with a smile.

"Hello, Chrom Hello Rostuo. SO today is the day, huh?" Mana said.

Chrom nodded. Mana jumped with excitement as she ran out of the room. Chrom rolled his eyes as he finished hanging up the Rostuo clothes. Rostuo decorated his room with a few items that he carried in a backpack. Storybooks, toys, and a few dog toys. Rostuo jumped on his bed and holding the gift box that Akane have given him. Chrom sat down on the edge of the bed as he watched. Rostuo opened the box to a scarf. A baby photo of himself being held by a boy. Rostuo stares at the photo and place on top on the bed still. Chrom smiles at Rostuo as he got up from the bed and left. Rostuo got up and followed behind. Chrom was in the backyard watering the garden. Cheren planted a tree sprout. Mana pulled a bag of plant food. Rostuo stands there as he watches them work in the garden. Chrom stopped the water hose and passed it to Rostuo. Rostuo now has the power of water in his hands. What shall Rostuo do? Chrom have watched him watering the plants. Chrom started to pick up the rack and started to rack the dead leaves. Chrom made the pile and picked them. He Carried them to a bin under the kitchen window. Once he opened the bin, he dropped the leaves in the bin. Chrom then closed the bin right away. Chrom turned away from the box before gaging. Mana started to giggle as he mocked Chrom. Chrom glared at her as Mana got into a cold sweat. Mana scooped plants around the plant's roots. Chrom walked to Cheren questioned what is next on the to-do list. Cheren pulled a to-do list out of his back pocket and showed it to Chrom. Chrom looked at the paper as his eye widen. Chrom started to walked away and grabbed the kids. Chrom walked to the back door.

"Where are you going? There is just 5 more stuff to do left." Cheren yells after them.

Chrom shut the door behind him as Cheren sat down on the ground. Cheren up, he grabbed his second pair of ears and lowered them.

"What is he doing with his fake ears?" Rostuo asked.

"He is lowering them to look sad. Just ignore him; he will get over it. In the meantime, let's play a game." Chrom smiled.

Rostuo looked towards Chrom bright eyes. Mana went to get the games from a chest.

Time have passed, Cheren walked into the living room. He stands in front of the group as they play a card game. Mana and Rostuo were more focused on the game. While Chrom just smirked at Cheren. Cheren opened his mouth with anger before Chrom interpreted.

"Why not join us, Cheren?" Chrom smiled.

Cheren raised a hand before sitting down as he waited for his card to be given to him. Cheren puffed his cheeks with air as he glared at Chrom. Their eyes meet; Chrom was staring right back. His glance was like knives. Cheren grew a cold sweat and stared at his cards. Cheren tried to ignore Chrom's glace as he can, but he could feel his glare.

"Cheren skips a turn," Chrom stated as he places the card down.

Cheren crushed his card in his fueled anger.

"Cheren, you crushed the card again, "Mana said.

Cheren released his griped and laughed nervously. Chrom places her final card down. Cheren flipped the table out of rage. Cheren grabbed Chrom from the color of his shirt barley, lifting him.

"Is there anything you can't beat me at?"Cheren stated.

"I lost count, but in general, I have won almost every competition."Chrom grinned

"Tormmow, we will have a contest to see you fail."Cheren threatened.

"Hey Cheren, you are on the cards. I need to shuffle them." Rostuo stated.

"Oh I'm really, sorry." Cheren smiled as he walked off the card without losing eye contact with Chrom. Chrom rolled his eyes as he pulled Cheren's hand off his shirt. Cheren sat down without losing contact. Chrom rolled his eyes once more as he lifts the table on its feet.
