The three males were walking home from school, the calm breeze around them made the walk peaceful. Their conversations were the same as always, just simply them talking about whatever crossed their mind. They didn't have school the next day so the three could relax and not have to worry about much.

"Are we going to do anything tomorrow?" Sakata asked as the blonde shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, it's up to Soraru."

The redhead glanced at the raven-haired with a curious look. Soraru was thinking about what their options could be.

"We could just stay home." Soraru stated as the redhead pouted.

"But it gets boring eventually~"

"Then do you have a specific place you want to go to?" Soraru questioned the redhead, who became silent.

"Well... no. B-But I just want the three of us to hang out together~"

"But we're always together." Senra pointed out as Sakata sighed.

"Yeah, but sometimes it's just the three of us in the same room but doing different things~"

"You know you're annoying sometimes." Soraru muttered as the redhead crossed his arms.

"Niichan's being mean~"

Soraru semi-glared at the redhead before sighing. He pinched the younger's cheeks. Sakata whined and complained about the small pain while Senra shook his head in amusement.

"You're lucky you're like a little brother to me." Soraru said as he let go of Sakata's cheeks.

The redhead rubbed his cheeks before grinning brightly. He tackled the raven-haired into a hug, almost making the two of them fall to the ground.

"Www"

"Oi. Stop doing that."

"Nope~"

"You're like an uncontrollable puppy." Senra commented as the redhead glared at him with a small hint of irritation on his face.

"Why do the both of you always have to bully me~?"

"It's our job as the oldest." Senra jokingly said as Sakata puffed his cheeks out.

"You're only older than me by a few months."

"I'm still older though."

"No."

"Yes."

"No you're not." Sakata said as he broke up the hug with the raven-haired to cross his arms and puff out his cheeks.

"Okay, let's get back home quickly before you two start bickering and use your powers on one another." Soraru jokingly said as he began to walk ahead of the two. Both of the younger males looked at him unamused.

"We wouldn't do that."
"We don't always bicker."

"Sure you don't. I'll keep a mental note on that for the next time you guys argue."

"Hey!"

Soraru turned his head to look behind him. He saw their pouting faces and smiled to himself.

"Oi. Hurry up or else I'm going to lock you two out."

"EH?!?"

Sakata and Senra hurried to catch up to the raven-haired, who was laughing at them.

"You guys seriously believed me."

"Niichan's a meanie~"
"Not funny Soraru."

*******

Soraru was sitting around in class, bored as always. He had gotten there a bit earlier than usual. Mostly because Sakata and Senra wanted to talk to their teacher about something so they went on ahead once they entered the school.

The raven-haired still had a few minutes before class started. Classmates were chatting with each other, not paying mind to the raven-haired. Which he was thankful for, he'd rather be left alone. He didn't like having too many people stare at him as if he was an animal in a zoo.

He didn't have anyone to talk to at all, since Lon was in another class, and talking to classmates was definitely out of the question. The raven-haired sighed as he stared at the plain, empty board, having nothing else better to do.

He took out his phone, scrolling through it as he waited for the teacher to arrive. He was on his phone for a couple of minutes until he heard footsteps approach the room. He looked up to see that his teacher had entered the classroom.

"Okay class, settle down." The teacher said as they stood in the front of the class. Students silently groan, some not wanting to do any work, as they sat down in their seats.

"Today we have a new classmate, please welcome Kashitaro."

Soraru widened his eyes in slight shock before it turned into a small bit of happiness. Sakata and Senra will be happy. The brunette walked into the room.

He turned to face the class, his eyes immediately spotting the raven-haired. Kashitaro smiled as he gave the raven-haired a small wave, it was hard to notice, but some classmates managed to catch it.

"Eh? He seems to know Soraru."
"Who would've thought that the ice prince could have other friends besides Senra and Sakata."
"Well he's friends with Kuro and Lon too."
"Maybe he's just trying to act nice for a first impression."
"This is pretty interesting."

Soraru rolled his eyes as he heard some of his classmate's comments. Of course people are beginning to talk about it. Not long until the whole school knows. The raven-haired sighed as he glared at his classmates, making them shut up.

Kashitaro chuckled to himself as he glanced at the raven-haired one more time. The brunette could sense the raven-haired's irritation. He hasn't changed at all, still the same awkward and straightforward Soraru. He looked at the class and smiled.

"I'm Kashitaro, please take care of me for the school year."

His smile managed to win the hearts of girls and boys. Soraru playfully rolled his eyes as he laughed a bit. He wasn't shocked that the brunette would have admirers.

"Well Kashitaro, you can sit in any empty seat available." The teacher said as they walked to their desk to begin the lesson.

Some classmates were hoping that the brunette would sit next to them but sulked when they saw him walk towards Soraru. The classmates sat in their seats with rejected looks on their face. They then decided to ignore the two and faced forward to listen to the teacher talking.

"Long time no seen Soraru." Kashitaro said as the raven-haired smiled.

"Yeah, glad to get to see you again."

Kashitaro smiled as he sat in the seat next to the raven-haired. The brunette has extremely happy to see his childhood friend again.

"I'm sure Lon and the others are going to be surprised."

"Why's that?" Soraru asked as he gave the brunette a puzzling look.

"I told Kuro that I'd tell her when I was moving here......but I forgot." Kashitaro sheepishly said as he rubbed his neck.

"Of course you would."

"Ww oh well, I'll manage to live through her complaining."

"Well good luck with that."

The two males stopped their conversation and brought their attention back to the board. The two males sat through the lesson. Soraru was glad that he wouldn't be alone in the class anymore.

*******

The class was able to finish the lessons in a quick breeze, allowing them to have some free time. Kashitaro and Soraru were chatting with each other, some classmates would occasionally walk to the two of them and try to talk to the brunette. Kashitaro would respond to them for only a few seconds before going back to talking to the raven-haired.

"So you're going to join us during lunch?" Soraru asked as the brunette nodded his head.

"Of course I am~ why wouldn't I?"

"I figured that maybe you wanted to talk to Lon and Kuro instead."

"I'll say hi to them when I see them in the halls."

The bell rang as the two males walked to the courtyard. Sakata and Senra were already there, waiting for the raven-haired to come. The two younger males then noticed that the raven-haired was walking towards them with someone else.

"Kashi~!" Sakata tackled the brunette into a hug.

"I'm starting to think you like hugging people." Senra commented as the redhead grinned stupidly.

"Nice to see you again guys," Kashitaro said as ruffled the redhead's hair, "same bubbly Sakata as back then."

"Www"

"You didn't tell us you were going to come today." Senra said as the brunette sheepishly laughed.

"I...I kinda forgot."

Senra shook his head in amusement at the brunette's carefree attitude.

"Mafu! Wait for me!"

The four males turned their heads towards the direction they heard the voice from. Soraru saw the red eyed brunette try to catch up the albino as they headed to the roof.

"Oh Mafu and Amatsuki." Kashitaro said, causing the other three to give him confused stares.

"Eh? You know them Kashi?" Sakata said as the brunette was now the one looking at them in confusion, specifically at the raven-haired.

"You don't remember Soraru?"

"Eh?" Soraru made a puzzled sound as the brunette crossed his arms.

"You remember how back then we were friends with Lon and three others."

"Yeah, Kuro was one of them."

"And the other two were Mafu and Amatsuki. The six of us always hanged out together while Sakata and Senra were with their friends."

Soraru began to faintly recall playing around with an albino and another brunette. So that was the two of them. How convenient.

"So how come they don't act like they remember Soraru?" Sakata curiously asked as the brunette shrugged.

"Don't know."

"Why haven't Lon or Kuro told me?" Soraru questioned as the brunette's small smile slightly faltered.

"Maybe they forgot as well."

"Pretty convenient for all of you to forgot about each other." Senra stated as the brunette and raven-haired nodded.

"Well, I'm going to say hi to them so let's go." Kashitaro said as he began to walk ahead.

"Wait, us too?" Sakata said as the brunette turned to look at them.

"Why not? You three can make new friends." He teasingly said as the raven-haired sighed.

"Fine let's go."

Soraru knew that the brunette would drag him along anyways. The four made their way to the roof, Kashitaro was telling them about what he had been up to since he last talked to them.

"I missed when it was the four of us and Luz." Kashitaro said as the redhead nodded his head.

"We used to have so much fun in the orphanage~"

"How has your 'special talent' been anyways?" The brunette knew about their powers, it was his idea to call it special talent to prevent people from finding out.

"It's going okay~ we haven't damaged anything." Sakata said as the blonde glanced at the raven-haired.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that." Senra muttered as Soraru rolled his eyes.

"Anyways, we're doing a bit better than before." Soraru stated, he then heard the albino shout in protest.

"Luz! I said yamete!"

"Www but it's fun teasing you~"

Mafu was glaring as the light haired male, who innocently smiled. The albino looked away in annoyance while the others laughed.

"Www Mafu's so cute when he's pouting~" Kuro cooed before noticing the four males.

"Soraru! Kashi!" The short female quickly got up and ran to where the males were. The others turned their attention towards the four.

"Hey Kuro, long time no seen." Kashitaro said as the red eyed female

"You didn't tell me you were coming today! I would've gone to say hi to you earlier." Kuro scolded the brunette who laughed sheepishly.

"Sorry, sorry. I forgot to do so."

"Hmph," Kuro crossed her arms in a scolding way, "fine, I'll forgive you this time."

"Care to introduce us?" Urata said as the short female rolled her eyes.

"Be patient shortie."

Urata glared at the female before muttering to himself, "you're slightly shorter than me."

"This is Kashi, one of my childhood friends~ and you guys know Sakata, Senra and Soraru already." Kuro said as she smiled at them.

"We already know about you guys, the popular students of the school." Senra said as the purple-haired grinned.

"You'd be living under a rock to not hear about us." Urata said as he sighed, the green eyed brunette didn't like how everyone constantly talked about them.

"I'm surprised you've already met Soraru." Kuro said.

"So you forgot that Soraru was in our childhood group of friends." Kashitaro stated as the red eyed female looked at him in surprise.

"Eh? Really?" She said as the albino stared at him in shock.

"Seriously?!" Amatsuki shouted in shock as the raven-haired looked at them.

"I was surprised to know that I was friends with you guys."

"Www what a strange coincidence. You two were friends with the ice prince." Luz jokingly said as the redhead looked down.

"So Luz really doesn't remember." Sakata muttered to himself as the other two smiled sadly.

"It's fine." Senra said comfortably as he patted the redhead's hair.

Sakata immediately cheered up and giggled to himself.

"So back then it was us five and Lon." Kuro stated as the albino laughed a bit.

"So all of us ended up meeting again." Mafu said as Soraru looked at the albino and red eyed brunette.

I might actually be able to find the person I made a promise with. The raven-haired couldn't really remember what the person looked like. The only thing he recalls was them having red, ruby-like eyes. Soraru chuckled to himself, guess some things are fated to happen.
