Yosuke was holding a heavy looking box , " Is this it? "

" Yeah that's the stuff, it should be enough now… " The old man said. Claire's grandpa looked over the boxes yet again… " But just check it again just in case "

" Oh leave the boy alone " Claire's grandma complained to her husband, " You're gonna overwork him!! "

" Someone's gotta do it , I could have done it when I was younger… " The man replied 

" It's not a problem " Yosuke said while wiping the sweat off his forehead… His face was covered with dust and so we're his clothes 

"Sorry to bother you on a Sunday like this yosuke " The grandmother apologized, the fireworks festival was an old tradition and accordingly there was a lot of cleaning and lot of decorations to be put on the house as well as the temple and shrine nearby, many other families and people had volunteered for job and Claire's grandfather was one of them, they had also asked yosuke for help, and he had agreed, 

He just smiled , " Well… it's the least I can do… ", " I only teach her three hours now instead of four.. I am still getting the same benefits doesn't that technically mean I'm scamming them? "

" But don't you just get bored of all us old people doing old people things?"

He just chuckled, " It's ok, one of my friends got forced by his family to help this festival , it's boring as hell alone so we hang out so it's not completely bad, " " That defeats the entire definition of volunteer"  He got up and stretched " We keep each other from going insane "

" So you admit that we old people are boring " Grandma replied fast 

" No, that isn't-" He fumbled trying to explain himself 

" Oh it's alright, I was just kidding "

" You give me the same vibes as my mom… making you mad is not something I wanna do.. "

" Just put your dusty clothes in the basket in the bathroom "

" I'll wash them later.. "

" No you're not we don't wanna feel bad for overworking a student who's paying to stay with us.. " The grandfather jokes 

" Just put them in before 8 "

" Okay.. They'll be there by seven.. "

" 7? You're going somewhere? "

" Well I'm going to the festival.. I spent so much time decorating it so I oughta go.. "

" I see but you sure you wanna go alone? Me and her grandfather are gonna go at around eight anyway" She offered "we'll pay for the food "

" Just how old do you think I am? " Yoauke laughed, " And no I'm not going alone..  "

" Oh? "

" Yeah Claire's coming with me.. "

The room fell into silence, the old couple froze while yosuke continued to work nonchalantly 

" How old are you? "

" 19 ? "

" Oh… everyone your age look like babies when you're old enough.. You asked Claire?"

" She asked me like a week ago " He just continued opening the boxes again after stretching more 

The old woman pulled her husband aside, " I know what you're thinking but.. "

" I'm not gonna threaten this kid, he's a nice kid, I just wanna talk to him about claire… "
