Messy Stray Dogs

XVI

It's not like I want to act this way

People are just so annoying

And I can't stop myself from lashing out...

"Prends ma main
Promets-moi que tout ira bien"

Unlike Alexandra's room, Fumiya's room was so tidy and breathable. Atsushi couldn't breath in the little girls room earlier. But Fumiya's was orderly, with almost 2 to 3 clothes on the ground. Which it seemed belonged to his sister

"Serre-moi fort
Près de toi, je rêve encore"

Said girl was singing a foreign song to her brother, with an amazing voice. Atsushi was impressed. She was leaning on the wall next to Fumiya's small desk, while boy did some drawing. A way to calm themselves, the weretiger assumed. Or it was something they did occasionally

"Oui, oui je veux rester
Mais je ne sais plus aimer- Atsushi-san" Shizuko noticed the boy starring at them both, gesturing him to come inside

"I'm sorry" the boy apologised "but your voice was so beautiful"

"I know right" Fumiya proudly agreed, he was so happy someone praised his sister

"Yes! It was the best voice I've ever heard. Even better than Naomi-san!"

Hearing that Shizuko proudly smiled, enjoying the praise. She shifted her attention to her brother, her smile getting bigger

"You should see my brothers drawings! They are so good! And these are only light sketches" she enjoyed when someone praised her family. As long as they knew she was the best of course

"May I?" Atsushi asked, interested in the boys work

"Hmm sure. It's not good though, I did these during the last three months"

Atsushi began going through pages. The drawings were weird but also beautiful, each having a different and unique air. It was obscure, like it was something but twisted. The shapes reminded Atsushi things, he just couldn't figure what they were

"Do these have a meaning?" Atsushi asked

"I draw whatever I see. Nothing in particular. In this one I've watched Deyka and Shizu's training and this was on my memory for a while" he explained, sounded unaware the drawings were shaped weirdly. But when he explained Atsushi saw it too, the faces, the movement. The knife Fadeyka was holding

After looking a while, the drawing made sense to Atsushi. Daishiro drinking tea with Akeno, Natsuko chatting with her mother, Alexandra reading, Ryutaro eating his snacks. He could see the concrete in the abstract and it was utterly beautiful. These siblings truly had amazing talents

"These are all so good. They all have their own beauty" Atsushi did his best to praise. Fumiya seemed very happy with his poor wording though. He smiled happily

"So Atsushi-san, can we help you with anything?"

"Oh, oh right! We need to meet up!" Atsushi showed his phone "Kunikida-san texted, we're meeting at Poe-san's house"

"Another mission I wonder..." Fumiya mumbled "Well, we won't find until we find out!"

Atsushi smiled. These kids were eager to work, unlike Dazai and boy it was a great relief "Everyone should be heading there. Let me just get Daishiro-san"

"You know he's technically younger than you!" even though Shizuko yelled, Atsushi was already out of the room

Said boy was having a tea party with Elise, she even had him made her hair into ponytail. His room was also tidy, only a few papers scattered here and there. Atsushi told them the situation and surprisingly it only took two mildly loud anger tantrums to convince Elise. And after 20 minutes...
