Hiro returns home to the De La Fontaine household and was immediately a bit nervous. He took a deep breath, and the soft look on his face as well as his aura changed to that of a more serious and elegant one.
He went straight to room, the relaxed his face. It is hard having to act in front of the family.
He went to the bathroom to have a shower, he wore his pajamas and sat settled down in a little study area in his bedroom.
He takes out the device Phoenix had created for him and he smiled excitedly. 'To be honest, I was scared that he would make fun of me at first,' he thought happily.
Luckily he didn't have any assignments. The teachers just wanted everyone to study some of ancient human civilization architecture that some how still baffled everyone till now.
It's not compulsory for him to do it, so why would he? Athena managed to show him some moves with the bo-staff.
That fight earlier was great. The way Phoenix handled that weapon was frightening yet mesmerizing. He would have lost if he had let go of that weapon, but then again he didn't.
Also Athena, he doesn't know if she an alpha or a beta, but she's so awesome, she looks like someone who could smack a strong person for being stupid.
'Do Apollo and Artemis know how to fight like that too?' he wondered. If they did that would be awesome.
He hears a knock on the door and he quickly hid the device and puts on a straight face.
"Who is it?" he asked, his voice also changing from his usual soft voice to being cold and void of emotions.
"Young Master Hiro, the Master would like to see you in his study," a servant said through the door.
Hiro's heart skipped a beat in a bit of fear. "Of course," he managed to say without stammering.
'What could he want?' Hiro thought as he walked to the study room, his mind was racing with several thoughts. He wondered why he was being summoned and one thought clicked. 'Did he see that video?' His name was mentioned, so what if his father saw that video and wants to stop him from being friends with Phoenix?
He would literally die!
He knocks on the door to the study room while taking in several deep breaths. "Come in," he hears a soft yet cold and emotionless voice.
He opens the door and could see his father sitting at the table working on his holocom.
"You wanted to see me?" he asked.
"Yes," his father said. "You are still friends with that Phoenix boy, aren't you?" he asked.
Hiro held his breath for a while. 'He isn't going to ask me to stop being friends with him, will he?' he thought. He was tempted to say no, but he decided not to lie. "Yes, father," he said.
"Good," His father said. Hiro's eyes widened slightly, his eyes showing a bit of surprise and his heart calmed down. "The royal family announced the engagement between the Second Prince and that boy earlier this evening," he said.
"Is that so?" Hiro asked, oblivious to this.
"Yes, it seems His Highness must like your friend and finds him bearable if the royal family announced it," he said, he looks at Hiro through the screen. "Don't mess up this opportunity," he said coldly.
Hiro gulps. "Of course," he said.
"Good," his father said. "You may now leave," he said waving his hands signifying for Hiro to leave.
"Thank you," Hiro said standing up and walking to the door. "Good night, father," he said opening the door and leaving.
When he gets to his room. He closed the door behind his back and sits on the ground. "Will he ever be my loving pa again?" he said sadly.
His holopad vibrated on the desk and he goes to pick it up with a smile. His dad just texted him.
'How was your day, little Hiro.'
Hiro wasted no time texting back. 'It was great.'
After a while he received another text. 'That's good, I saw a cool video today that had your childhood friend on it. Phoenix has changed a lot, huh?'
His dad is the only parent he ever tells anything to because of how supportive he was. 'I told you so.' he replies.
'You told me so, so did he agree?'
'No, but his friend did, that was the girl you saw in the video, her name is Athena and she's very nice.'
'Really?'
They ended up texting with each other for about an hour. Until Hiro receives this from his dad. 'Your brother differentiated last week.'
Hiro's eyes widened. He has a younger brother. When his dad and father divorced when he was twelve, his dad had taken his younger brother who is four years younger than him. They talk every once in a while, but his father hadn't gotten him personal holopad yet so they can't talk more often.
'What is his gender?'
He hoped his brother wouldn't be differentiated into an omega, his father might decide to try and bring him into the family and try to raise him like he did to him.
'Alpha! Just like his dad!'
Hiro was happy because of this. 'Really? That's great!' he replies the text.
'I know.'
'He says now he can save his older brother.'
Hiro smiled softly. 'I'll be waiting then.'
'Okay, it's getting late where you are, good night little one.'
Hiro smiled as he text good night to his father and that was it. He looks at the time. It was really getting late. He caught glimpse at the date. "A week more before my heat arrives, huh?" he whispered.
