Takemichi stares at the stuff that his grandmother had bought him. It's only been 3 weeks since he move in to her house.
He's gonna go to school next week. Takemichi felt worried. He never really went outside and interact with kids his age in the neighborhood.
Even though his grandmother assure him that everything will be alright he still felt uncertain.
He missed Shin. Shinichiro got appointment today though to know whether his omega or alpha.
Michi can't hang out with him. Takemichi stares at some things in the stationery shop they are in.
"Hmmm Michi why don't you look around while I try to buy you some school stuff" Tanuki suddenly spoke.
Takemichi look at his grandmother and shook his head.
"I'm fine besides no one would carry what you bought" Takemichi softly spoke.
Takemichi had become less wary of Tanuki which is a good thing. Tanuki still remembers how the poor kid would often flinch whenever she's around.
Takemichi too of course didn't warm up to Shinichiro fast. However Takemichi did held a great image of Shin in his head.
The older male is so cool in his head. Despite the reasoning is so simple which others can do as well. Takemichi felt that Shin is his hero.
His always on distress so he doesn't understand the warmth at first. But now he do understand a bit of it. It was kindness.
Something that Takemichi was unfamiliar with. But he was happy to feel it. He felt as if he was needed and he felt as if his not alone.
Like someone had pulled him out of a dark empty room into the light in a flowery garden.
"Hahaha Michi I'll be fine I'm still strong now go on and try to find some things that catch your eyes" Tanaki softly spoke.
Takemichi of course didn't budge at first but he Finally did comply after many attempts of Tanuki.
Takemichi is around the sketch area. Takemichi loves drawing and his really good at it. But he never got a chance to show his talent to anyone because on how poorly he was raised.
He wants art materials too but back in his old house. He could never ask such thing because if he did. The poor kid would get yelled non stop and was told to sleep in the cold floor.
He'll be lucky if he doesn't get beaten up which almost impossible. But there were days that he never got beaten up but he was however told to sleep without eating.
Takemichi is fine with that of course it's not like starvation is the one that'll kill him. He always felt grateful if that's only his punishment.
Weird right?
He felt grateful even if his being abuse.
Maybe it's just the cycle of life. Maybe it's something that Takemichi had to pay just because he was born in this world.
Takemichi grab some pencils and some crayons. Along with a sketchpad. He still looks around to see if something else catches his eyes.
Takemichi wonders. Why is Tanuki so rich meanwhile his father isn't?
Tanuki own some shops. But his father never had one. Takemichi guess is because like what his grandmother says.
'Your Father went astray I tried everything to get his on the right track. But your father however was too stubborn I would love to help him through everything but his the one who kept refusing the help. My guess is because of his ego' His grandmother would always complain and snort about though Takemichi could see the sadness in her eyes.
Takemichi was in his deep thought that he never notice another kid in front of him. He bumped into the guy as he fall down.
"Oww" the two groans as they both collided the ground.
Takemichi panics of course he didn't mean to hurt someone.
"Ahh I'm sorry!" Takemichi lightly shriek then immediately helping the boy.
"Ahhh you should watch where you're going" the boy said.
"Ahhh I'm really sorry" Takemichi looks down and bows his head.
...........
The kids golden/yellow colored eyes look over at the kid. It was like any other day for Kazutora running away from home.
His tired if his father scolding him so much. He loves to go to the stationery shop in the neighborhood due to it being so small and quite.
There are also rare people who came in here. So Kazutora was shock to see a kid in his age in here or probably younger than him.
Somehow he was pissed but the moment he saw the boy face. He felt his heartbeat fast.
Those beautiful blue big doe eyes. Jet black hair. Soft looking face and the small figure of the kid in front of him makes him weak.
And the moment he spoke. It was so soft and full of worries. Kazutora of course being the child he is act delinquent like. But he wants to retract those words as he saw how distress the other kid was.
"What on earth is wrong with you are you blind?!" Kazutora growls.
Takemichi flinches at that. His face grew much more paler Takemichi felt tears brimming in his eyes.
"Ahhh I'm sorry" he whimpers.
Kazutora knew he fucked up. He looks over at Takemichi his obviously terrified. He knew kids that act terrified around him but this kid is different.
As if his just like him.
Kazutora don't wanna confirm it because his pretty sure it'll make the boy uncomfortable.
"Hah come on no need to be so scared here let me help you" Kazutora tried to help the raven haired boy.
However Takemichi immediately scurried away and helping himself up. He was shivering like a leaf.
"Ahh I'm really sorry... I really didn't mean it.... Please don't hurt me.... I'm really sorry.... I didn't mean too..." Takemichi stutters.
He was panicking his heartbeat was beating so fast and he could feel his palms sweating. He is terrified.
Kazutora stares at Takemichi with a shock look.
'I know that maybe his like me but I didn't think it'll be that bad' Kazutora thought.
Though he may look like he doesn't care he actually feel sympathetic to the boy. I mean they are the same having a hard life. It's not like they could do anything about it.
Nor have the rights to complain about it. They were born in that surroundings. But he still is annoyed it's not like he wishes to be born.
Kazutora sighs.
"If your truly sorry then man up life is hard don't make it harder for yourself even more" Kazutora spoke softly.
Takemichi who was still trying to calm down still tries to listen to what the boy was saying.
Takemichi still looking down nod his head surely he Is trying to avoid eye contact. Kazutora just then clicks his tongue and turn around walking away.
This seems to bring back Takemichi back to his calm state. He slowly look up to the boy.
"Umm... Wait...!" Takemichi hesitantly spoke.
"What?" Kazutora spoke turning his body looking at the raven haired boy.
"Umm... Your.... Ah.... Umm.... Name?" Takemichi stutters.
Kazutora scratch his head.
"Kazutora" He just simply said and turn onto his back once again walking away.
"Ummm... Ahhh.... Sorry again Kazutora Kun..... If we ever meet again...... I'll try to repay you....." Takemichi said still stuttering.
He didn't receive a response but just a simple wave. As he exit the stores. Takemichi was confused but decide to shake his head and look for his grandmother.
He still need to prepare for school after all he doesn't want to be a burden to the old lady.
"What a cute kid" Kazutora chuckled.
