On this very day, I've never seen anything like cute Tenn-nii at all.

oOo

Riku walks to the living room with a scarf on his shoulder. Ready to go outside again this time, playing with his brother, Tenn.

"Oh my, Riku. You're so cute!" His mother squeals with happiness seeing her second child with a scarf.

Riku shook his head a few times before pouting. A sign for he is not cute, denying his mother words. Tenn, walk to his brother and close their hand together.

"Don't worry, you're cute just as before. Let's go." With that, both of them walks to the playground.

Everything from tree to the slide is covered in snow. It is still winter, especially when it's near Christmas. The cold actually is bad for Riku's body but if this can help him get better with this future stuff, then okay.

"Riku, you're gonna get sick if you're not wearing your scarf correctly." Tenn turns Riku's scarf a few times before taking his hand with Riku and put it in his pocket.

"It just like we're a couple, " Riku monologue to himself with a poker face inside his mind.

He can't get off the feeling that the words he always attempts to say will become true in the future; pervert Tenn-nii.

A shiver runs through all his body from the very inch of his hair. Remembering the time before this seventh attempt is actually a nightmare.

"Riku?"

Turn his head towards his brother, Riku smiles like nothing is wrong. Even if inside his mind he curses with everything he had.

"Damn stupid shit happening all fucking time, " Riku curses.

Tenn turns his head back. Take Riku's hand and run to the nearest bench in the playground. The adults around them are talking with happiness about Christmas, a time where couples will have their ultimate date.

"Riku, are you happy?" Raises a question, Tenn look deep in Riku's dawn eyes.

Smiling, Riku opens his mouth and tries to say something. Even if he can't say any words, he still can make a movement where like those his brother can lip-sync him.

"I'm... Ha--"

When Riku tries to admit he was happy, his mind suddenly blank. The words are like a foreign thing for him. It's like he never heard or feel it before in his life.

This feeling is like a virus. It will only hurt him is he continue to express it with everything he had. A curse where he can't do anything about happiness.

"Riku?" Tenn calls his brother.

Riku is still silent. He didn't move nor say anything. He didn't even blink. This makes his brother, Tenn, worried. He waves his hand in front of Riku but no result came out.

Afraid something happens, he shook his brother's shoulder. His face becomes paler each time his brother didn't respond.

"Riku! Hey, don't suddenly blackout like that!"

The adults around them turn their head. Worry about the two children alone like this. Walk up to them, they try their best to talk but Tenn shoves them off.

"Don't get too close!" Anger all over his face.

"Riku... Kun?"

Tenn turns his head immediately towards his back. A woman with a pale blond colour. Her eyes show her worry and afraid.

"You... Know him?" Tenn asks warry. He can't just let a stranger do their things like they know him.

The woman nods her head and shoves the adult around them aside. She walks up to Riku and waves her hand. Her pale face now turns to horror. She knows this face, it's like Riku is afraid of something.

Turn her head towards Tenn, she spoke, "This is not right. We need to get Riku to the hospital right now! If this continues much longer, his attach will arise!" Tenn nods his head and allows the woman to carry Riku to the black car.

The man inside went pale watch both of them worried face. "Oto, hospital, faster!" The man nodded his head and instantly push the pedal.

oOo

"There's nothing wrong with him. But just in cases, I've called Riku's doctor here."

Musubi nods her head and sigh. The doctor leaves the four of them. When everyone is calm, another doctor opens the door.

"I am the doctor in charge of Riku-kun. Are you two the one who finds both of them?" Musubi and Otoharu nod their head when the doctor asks. The doctor writes a few things inside his pamphlets thing. He nods his head in understanding and leaves.

"I will call the parents. Please wait until then."

Click.

The door closes again and leaving the family of three in a depressing atmosphere. More than that, Tenn actually giving out a menacing aura.

"So, how do you know Riku?" Tenn raises a question.

Both Musubi and Otoharu sweat dropping. Their child, Tsumugi only tilts her head in a cute manner.

"How to say... Riku-kun save my life?" Musubi answer with another questionable answer.

Tenn raises an eyebrow. He looks at both of them and to Tsumugi next. Open his mouth, he muttered, "Another troublesome human in our life."

"I guess, Riku sing a song and gives you some advice on life?" Tenn makes a guess. Surprise, Musubi nodded her head and close her mouth with her hand. "How do you know?" She asks.

A glance towards the window near Riku's bed, he raises his hand, blocking the sun from his eyes. "It's always like that. Riku saving someone's life, ignoring his own."

Didn't quite understand, she tilts her head and asks again. "And you know about this saving life of another?" A nod from Tenn answering all her question.

This two sibling is actually quite dumb with each other feeling at the same time understand it more than necessary too. The older understand the younger intention of saving lives and the younger understand the older intention of wanting him to be safe.

"Then, I wonder why Riku-kun said he had been betrayed before." She tested him with this question. If the older siblings understood her test, he will answer it truthfully but if not, he will ignore and asks another question.

"Because he has been betrayed. Why do I need to answer your question truthfully if you're nothing but a stranger for me? You've done nothing to regain my trust." Musubi smirk while Otoharu sits at the chair with his daughter.

"I've saved your brother life. Isn't that enough?" In return, Tenn smirks too. "Saving his life by sending him to the hospital? I don't think so. Everyone can do that."

She clicked her tongue. She refuses to be loose to this arrogant person even if he's a child. She's learned the hard way to never judge a book by its cover, Riku's version.

"Even so, this saving of another, how many people he has saved?" She asks again. She changes the topic as she finds she can't even handle this brocon.

"Before you, maybe six? Most of them are from this hospital. The other maybe just a guest for the patients here." Tenn shifts his eyes towards the window. The bright sky that is included in snow as it falls to the earth.

Musubi turn her head towards her husband. He just looking at both of them, confuse. At the same time, he looks shocked and awe. A mere child, save six lives of people.

Tenn shifts his eyes back towards Riku when he realizes Riku's hand is tucking his shirt. He immediately stands up and pushes the button on the upper bed.

"Riku, are you okay?" He asks in concern. Yes, of course, he would be worried when his own brother is panicking like that.

Riku smiles and nods his head. He assured that his body condition is okay towards his twin older brother. Sometimes, Riku wishes he could say something like before.

Musubi comes insight. She looks anxious when she saw Riku. Especially when Riku immediately pulls his sleeve more towards his finger as if he was cold.

Both of them smiles towards each other and the doctor comes in with Riku's parents. They both have a discussion while Riku sits on the bed. He listens to his brother mumbling as he watches Tsumugi with her small book.

oOo

"Riku-kun, can you tell me now what do you think about being an idol?" Musubi ask again when she saw Riku inside the soba shop.

Riku sigh while Gaku's mother fights with her about the same thing again. When Riku tried to think again, he rarely saw Gaku's grandfather now. It's like he just went like that even if this shop were his.

"I don't think I have that much problem being an idol but..."

Riku shows his notebook towards Musubi while she's having a trash talk with Gaku's mother. She looks at the notebook and Riku's face back and back.

"What? Continue please."

"What is your purpose on creating Takanashi Production?"

She's taken back by those words. She looks around the shop and sits in front of Riku. Gaku's mother saw where this conversation is going and take Gaku with her to the back of the shop.

"Riku-kun, how do you know Takanashi Production just being created?" She asks with a stern face.

Her hand is trembling with uneasy feeling inside her heart. She knows where Riku gets his information, or will only bring more hatred with their belief.

"As I said before, don't judge a book by its cover. I have my own informant or more specifically, I am the informant."

"Riku-kun..."

"Don't get me wrong, I have my own reason for it. Now, back to the topic, what is your reason for creating Takanashi Production?"

She sighs. "Riku-kun, that night, when you sing a song for me, I've recorded it be for you notice it. I gave it to Oto and he agrees with me that your voice is something else." Riku raises an eyebrow with that. Well, if it about the record, Riku actually knows it but keep silent.

"He said to me, he wanted to create a place where you can sing freely just like when you gave me the light. He creates this company for you." She looks at Riku's eyes bravely.

"Now, when you said that I can't just refuse can I?"

Riku chuckled to himself. He looks like an angel when he chuckles like that. Now, Musubi realize why Gaku always wanted to be beside him all the time. Even Tsumugi is now close to Riku side.

"But, I've set this time of life, I've just wanted to be a person who suddenly shows up in the middle of  your battle with life and give you the right sword to attack and decide your future."

Musubi stern face looking like she just being cut with a sword. Riku's word is not that simple. It has multiple meaning in it. This is just like a maze where you need to decide which meaning you're looking for while the maze itself is the answer.

Riku opens his notebook again. This time it's on the last page.

"But maybe, if your reason is that for me, I may consider it. Just, when the right time for me to be in your company, keep my identity a secret from every human you'll find for your company."

"But... Why?"

Riku turns his head and smiles at the window. He shows towards the now that is falling from the sky.

"Just listen to this small request of mind. I need time to consider my future for the next three years, " Riku monologue.

oOo

Riku looks at the small necklace he constantly wears every day. The ruby is no longer attractive. It just saddens him when he saw those dull colour rubies.

Tilt his head Riku monologue to himself. "Why did this necklace seems to remind me of something?"

The ruby on the top right side of his necklace shines bright. It gave those warm feeling just like when Riku first found this necklace.

When the shine is no longer seen, the ruby embedded in it turns it's colour to a darker brown.

"What..." Riku question himself.

Knock, knock

Riku turns his head towards the door of his room. He opens it and saw Tenn, his twin older brother looking at him worriedly.

"Riku, you're not doing something reckless and leave me out of it again are you?"

Riku turn his face from shock to nervous. This looks just give Tenn a feeling he shouldn't make his word sound so hard. He just trying to give his little bit of mind but now his brother is nearly crying!

"R-riku...!"

Realize his mistake, Riku giggle. Rare for him to see his brother cute face like this. Even those small tint of pink is lingering on his face!

Riku stuck out his tongue and smiles to his brother. He hug Tenn and kiss his cheek.

"Let's just go eat..." Tenn said with a loosing face.

Riku smiles and hug Tenn from behind. Letting Tenn to drag him towards the dining room.
