The short, introverted blond boy opened the door and in his very soft voice, he said "Hello… Welcome."
"Thank you for having me," Daiken said as he entered the house.
"Excuse me," Shiro said after him.
"Hey!" said a voice from up the wooden stairs that were near the corner of the house.
"Kunimichi-San, Hello. Pardon the intrusion." Shiro and Daiken replied in unison.
"Nah, it's only me and Kenichi. Aunty and Uncle are out." He said descending from the staircase. "Let's go to Ken's room."
As the two boys followed the short blond hair boy and a messy bed-headed guy up the stairs, Kenichi spoke first, turning around he asked,
"Shiro-Senpai? What's with the hat? I don't think I have ever seen you wearing one."
"Ahh, haha…. I wanted to try on a new style. That's all." Shiro said, trying his best not to sound nervous.
"Hmm…. Is that so?" Kenichi replied, facing forward.
"Phew.. thank god he bought it." Shirogane thought to himself.
"Kunimichi and I did some digging and found a few suits that you guys might fit into." He continued.
"I'm sorry for the trouble," Daiken said apologetically.
"It's cool. It was fun going through the suit closet that Ken's father uses." Kunimichi said as they were closer to a big door that was at the end of the upstairs corridor.
"I'm sorry- closet of suits?" Shiro and Daiken said in confusion.
Kenichi stepped in front of them and opened the large door that had golden doorknobs. As the doors opened, only darkness could be seen. It was pitch black. Slowly going over to the door frame and tracing his hand to the inside of the wall, Kunimichi gave out a small smile and said "Aha Found it!" When he found the light switch.
"Thank you Kuni," Kenichi said entering the humongous closet. "This is it."
"Holy crud, h-how many suits are in here?" Daiken said in amazement.
"Not sure you are going to have to ask my father about it," Kenichi replied as they walked in. "I mean it is his collection."
"Woooaaaahhhh" Shiro was speechless, he never got why rich people had everything expensive and in a big load.
"Welp, knock yourselves out," Kunimichi said. "I'll get us something to drink."
"Thank you Kuni," Shiro replied.
The closet was a huge room that had all kinds of suits of all colors. The left side of the room had suits with cool colors and the right had all the warm colors. The room had a line of lights and two big, large air conditioners on either side of the room. It also had several mirrors.
'Love can be replated to objects too. Sometimes people get obsessed and attached to things. Just like they do for people, it can affect and put your life in danger.'
"I heard your father and mother are designers." Daiken tried to make a conversation with the blond boy who sat in a corner of the room playing his PSP.
"Yes, My father specializes in shoes and my mother is skilled in fashion designing. Sometimes he helps with suits." He replied in his low, quiet voice.
"That's super cool!" Shiro said, trying to join the conversation. He walked to the right side of the room that had suits that had blue spectrum. Choosing a light blue that matched the colors of his gorgeous blue eyes, he took it to the large mirror that was next to him and put it on top of himself.
"It suits your eyes." The voice said from behind him that it belonged to Daiken. "If you went to Akako high school you could have worn that."
"Hm… I guess. What about you? Found something you like?" Shiro replied.
"Noooopppeeee. I don't think I could wear something so fancy." Daiken said, shaking his head.
"It's fine Kenichi said we could try anything on." Shiro said with sparkling eyes that said 'I wanna dress you, please say yes.'
"Haha, how could I?" Daiken said laughing. Shiro felt pain in them.
Putting a hand on his shoulder, Shiro gave a toothy, reassuring smile. Pushing Daiken to the cool color side of the room, he said "I'm confident in my color matching skills."
"Ok, I'll be in your care then." Daiken chuckled as followed Shiro.
"I-Ichi…" Kousaki said quietly while blushing vigorously.
"Yes, Kousaki?" Daiken said, trying to maintain calmness.
"Please don't," Shiro said, covering his face to hide that he is furiously blushing.
"Well~ what colors do you think would suit me?" Daiken asked.
"Definitely beige, cream or white. It will suit your eyes and hair." he replied, taking out those colors and placing them on Daiken to see if they looked good on him.
"You always do that, Huh?" Daiken asked as Shiro kept doing that with the other clothes.
"I usually go shopping with my sister, so I pick up a few habits from her." He replied while he continued to look for clothes. "By the way, where do you get your clothes from?"
"Hm? It's usually my uncle who gets them for me. Sometimes my sister and brother help me pick clothes."
"Was today's outfit the one your uncle chose?" Shiro questioned.
"H-How did you know? Were they that bad?" He replied in embarrassment.
"Well…. If I'm being honest… Yes they were quite bad. You are handsome and those clothes don't allow anything to pass through." He answered mindlessly.
"Oh.. S-So you do think I'm handsome." Souichi said. "T-Tha-That's cool."
"Yess.. Oh- uh- I mean- You are but uh- gah. I- Please forget about what I said." He replied, turning away and scotting down.
"He- Hey Kenichi?" Daiken said but got no reply. Turning around he found that the short, blonde boy was not at his seat. "Where did he go?"
While Souichi went to look for Kenichi and Kunimichi, Kousaki got a call. Excusing himself to answer it, Daiken took that opportunity to calm himself and went out of the closet. [LOL he came out of the closet XD]
"Hello? This is Shirogane Kousaki speaking."
"This is MSG Hospital. I am calling since you were the last number on Ms. Uehara's contact list. Ms. Uehara has met with an accident and is hospitalized. Please come to check up on her. [Not really sure if they speak like this]." Said the female nurse on the other side.
"I'm sorry what? My sister has been in an accident?" Shiro repeated her statement in shock. "I'll be there right away. Thank you for calling." He quickly cut the call and dashed out of the room.
Running past the three boys who were about to enter the room, he hit Kenichi.
"I'm sorry Kenichi, I need to go now. Thank you and sorry for running out on you guys like this." He apologized.
"Shiro? Shirogane, wait up! I'm sorry for earlier." Daiken too ran after him. "Sorry Kunimichi, I will also be going now."
"Heh, Lovebirds." was the only thing he heard before he started to chase the silver haired boy.
"Shiro, wait!"
"Daiken? Why the heck are you following me?"
"I want to apologize to you earlier." He replied but his words weren't heard as they got closer to the MSG hospital.
Regardless of the fact that he was running into a hospital, Daiken continued to run after the other boy. Shirogane finally stopped at the reception center.
"Shirogane Kousaki. I'm here for Ms. Uehara Mika. I'm her brother."
"I'm sorry, Sir but you are going to have to give so proof." The reception lady replied.
"Gah! I'm her brother, let me go see my sister." He whined anxiously.
Daiken caught up to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "D-Dan-Dang you-you a-are f-fas-fast." He said panting.
"You followed me here?"
"Ye-Yes I di-." Daiken was cut off
Right when Daiken was about to finish his sentence a doctor came upto Shirogane and said "Kousaki-Kun. You came. Uehara-San just finished her surgery. It was successful."
In tears Shiro hugged the unknown male doctor, ignoring Daiken who followed him for five blocks.
"Thank you doctor Hiro."
Few minutes l8tr
"I'm captain but you aren't tired after running so much." Souichi Chuckled.
"How do you cope with coming to a hospital? Especially after what happened." Shiro asked a very long pause.
*sigh* "Well, I know she is in a better place. Mother died smiling like she always was." His smile became smaller than usual.
"Me and my sister aren't blood related." Shiro said.
