Senra was on his way back home, he had texted the redhead that he was coming back but hadn't received a response. He's probably sleeping. The blonde was carrying a small bag, he had decided to stop by the convenient store to buy something for the redhead.

As the blonde walked he noticed two male children run around in the playground. One of the boys, who was holding a cat in his arms, was playfully glaring at the other boy, who was grinning cheerfully. Senra watched the two boys for a few seconds a small smile crossed his face. Kinda reminds me of Sakata, back then when we were younger.

The blonde continued walking back to their house. He was bored during the walk so he just stared at the sky and area around him. The number of houses were decreasing as he got closer and closer to the building. After waning for awhile Senra looked around to make sure no one could see him, the people were minding their own business, not paying mind to the blonde at all.

Senra let a sigh in relief as he made a small lightning bolt to play around with as he continued making his way. The blonde was just making small sparks, being careful that he doesn't end up damaging anything or causing any problems. Once he got to the porch he stopped playing with his power and opened the door.

"Sakata." The blonde announced his arrival by calling the redhead's name. But received no reply.

"Sakata?"

Senra dropped his schoolbag on the couch and put the bag on the coffee table as he entered the living room. He noticed the redhead's absence so he decided to got look for him.

He checked the kitchen and rooms downstairs before going to the redhead's room. He's not in his room. The blonde was starting to get worried and was about to panic until he heard a small sneeze come from his room. He sighed and opened the door to see Sakata wrapped in a blanket, holding the blonde's book in his hands as he was looking at it.

"What are you doing?" Senra asked, the redhead jumped at the sudden voice.

"O-Oh it's you Senra."

"Why do you have my book?"

"I was curious~" Sakata saw the blonde's unconvinced expression and pouted, "okay fine. I was bored and just wanted to snoop around. You and Soraru never let me into your rooms~"

"For reasons." Senra stated as he thought back to the times where a younger Sakata would walk into their rooms and end up damaging something, not severely enough, but enough to make the two males sigh.

"But I was curious about the book, it's about different fire powers and short stories~"

"As long as you don't damage it then I don't mind."

"How mean~ it's like you guys have no trust in me." Sakata was about to pout before he ended up coughing.

Senra rolled his eyes at the redhead's statement before patting his back. The blonde gave him a smile.

"Go eat something so you can drink the medicine."

"Okay mom~" Sakata said as he put the book down and got up from the blonde's bed. He began to head towards the kitchen, dragging the big blanket that was wrapped around him.

Senra was a bit annoyed at the comment but told himself that the redhead was sick at the moment so he brushed it off. He then realized something and quickly shouted to the redhead.

"Wait Sakata! Be careful while walking down the stairs!"

"I'm fine~" was the reply given to him as Senra saw that the redhead was already downstairs. I'm surprised he didn't trip on the blanket, seeing as he can be clumsy.

Senra looked at the book now on his bed. He picked it up and flipped the pages. He got to the last page that had something written on it. The blonde made a sad smile as he read the childish handwriting. I guess I still can't forget about him. He closed the book, putting it on his desk before heading downstairs with the redhead.

"So Soraru's by himself at school." Sakata said as he shoved a cookie in his mouth.

"He has the others."

"We both know that he would rather be alone than be with them."

"I guess you're right for once."

"Hey!"

"Also I said eat something, not have a snack." Senra said in an blunt tone.

"In the end I'm still eating something." Sakata retorted as he took another bite of the cookie.

"You still act like a child."

"But I'm adorable~ aren't I?"

Senra just stared at the redhead, who was giggling. The blonde sighed, he was impressed at how the raven-haired was able to manage to deal with this for a long time.

"Hey Senra."

"Yeah?"

"Why don't we try cooking something for Soraru?"

".........that has to be the worst idea ever."

"Hey! You know how to cook!"

"But with you helping, things will end terribly."

"How rude~"

"Why do you even want to?" Senra asked as Sakata looked at the ground with a guilty expression on his face. The redhead fixed the blanket around him as he spoke.

"Well.....he's done a lot for us. So I wanna do something for him for once." Sakata smiled brightly, despite being sick he still emitted the same cheerful energy.

"That's true...." Senra thought back to how the raven-haired was always there for them. He even helped us get through the bad experiences.

"Sooo, can we~?" Sakata pleaded as he gave the blonde a puppy face.

The blonde sighed, there was no point in arguing once Sakata used his puppy eyes. I swear he enjoys being able to persuade us with it.

"Fine."

"Www yay~"

"But if things go wrong, you're to blame."

"Hey!!"

*******

Soraru was walking back home with Mafu next to him. The others either had to stay at the school to do something or left with their boyfriend, leaving the raven-haired and albino alone.

"I'm pretty sure Amatsuki has some interest in Kashi." Mafu said before widening his eyes at his words. He looked at the raven-haired with a worried expression. A-Ah that was kinda rude of me to say if Soraru does in fact like Amatsuki.

"He probably does, Amatsuki's been following Kashi around ever since he came to the school." Soraru commented as a small chuckle left his mouth. Just like how he followed me around back then.

Mafu stared at the raven-haired for a few seconds, trying to distinguish his expression to see how he felt. Soraru doesn't seem bothered by it. The albino still wasn't sure whether it'd be good for him to try to get the raven-haired's attention or not. I'll just wait until I can clearly tell that Amachan and Soraru don't like each other.

"So how's it like living with Sakata and Senra?" Mafu curiously asked.

"Sometimes annoying and sometimes chaotic."

"You didn't even describe it in any way positively."

"They can be a bit too much to handle, with Sakata's idiotic self and Senra sometimes isn't as mature as he seems."

Mafu giggled to himself at hearing Soraru's comments. I can hear the warmth in his voice when he talks about them.

"Even though you say that they're annoying, you'll do whatever you can to take care of them." Mafu added as the raven-haired looked away. The albino could see the small blush of embarrassment on his face.

"Shut up."

"Www how sweet of Soraru~"

The raven-haired lightly pulled the albino's cheeks, causing him to whine a bit. Soraru smirked victoriously as he let go. Mafu rubbed his cheek as he pouted.

"How mean Soraru~"

"You kinda look cute when you're pouting." Soraru mumbled, but the albino managed to hear it.

"E-Eh?" Mafu said as the raven-haired stopped in his tracks.

Soraru widened his eyes upon realizing what he said. Another blush appeared on his face as he looked away.

"F-Forget I said anything."

Mafu was also blushing as covered his face with his hand.

"S-So you do care about the two of them." Mafu said in a way to switch the conversation, which Soraru was happy to play along with.

"Y-Yeah, well I mean after everything that happened to them I kinda don't like leaving them alone."

"Uh... Is it okay if I ask what happened?" Mafu timidly asked, he didn't want to pry into the raven-haired and other two's life but he would be lying if he said he wasn't curious.

"....it's not that much, just that someone close to them ended up, abandoning them? I guess..."

"What do you mean?" Mafu titled his head as Soraru sheepishly rubbed his neck.

"Just that a close friend kinda left them. Well for Senra the two of them made a promise, but the person ended up completely leaving him, not even telling him at all. As for Sakata......the circumstances were very different....."

"Oh," Mafu felt bad to the two males. They were already abandoned by their parents, so being left alone again must've hurt them even more.

"So they kinda didn't trust people, they at some point kinda acted indifferent around me, especially Sakata."

"E-Eh? Even though they always seem to want to be next to you all the time. Even the Sakata that practically tackles you with hugs?" Mafu said in disbelief.

"They started to think that I'd end up abandoning them too." Soraru stated as he kicked a rock on the path.

"But in the end they saw that you care about them a lot." Mafu said as the raven-haired nodded his head with a smile on his face.

"So that's why you're kinda overprotective of them. You don't want people to hurt them again." Mafu gave the raven-haired a warm, sincere smile.

"That's also why I kinda don't like promises. Since Senra got hurt because of a broken promise, I kinda feared that promises would end up hurting me too."

"But that's not the case right?" Mafu asked as he looked at the raven-haired with concern in his eyes.

"Nah, I don't really care much about it so it wouldn't bother me."

"That's good."

The two continued to talk as they walked. Mafu felt like he got closer to the raven-haired. Soraru felt happy getting to talk to the albino, as if all his worries would disappear from one glance at Mafu's cheerful face.

"Well see ya tomorrow Soraru. Tell Sakata I hope he feels better~" Mafu said as he waved goodbye to the raven-haired, who returned the gesture.

Soraru made it back to the house, he opened the door and was immediately tackled by a lump of blanket, or rather the redhead wrapped up in the blanket.

"Niichan's home~"

"You really enjoy calling me that, don't you?"

"Www maybe~"

Soraru shook his head before prying to redhead off himself so he could actually entered the house and not stand in the doorway. Sakata complied as he made his way back to the living room.

He looks like a small baby with that big blanket wrapped around him. Soraru commented as he watched the redhead leave. The raven-haired followed behind and saw the plate of food on the table. He immediately looked at them with a suspicious look.

"What are you two planning?" Soraru bluntly said as the redhead pouted while Senra laughed.

"How mean~ we wanted to do something special for you for once~"

"Sakata practically forced me to help. I did most of the work." Senra said as the redhead gave him an annoyed look.

"Because you wouldn't let me help you!"

"Because you're sick and you'd make a mess."

"Hmph." Sakata let out a huff as he pouted.

Soraru rolled his eyes at their usual behavior before smiling to himself. These two seriously....I really do care about them.

"A~h niichan is smiling~" Sakata stated as the raven-haired's face return to its usual neutral self.

"No I'm not."

"Nope~ we definitely saw that smile." Senra joined the redhead in teasing the older male.

Soraru glared at them before it broke into a small laugh. Sakata giggled as he tackled the raven-haired into a hug again. Senra decided to join to, and now Soraru was trapped in the group hug. The raven-haired just laughed as he returned the hug.

"You guys are seriously annoying."

"Yep~"
"We know."
