We ended the day around supper time and returned back to the house. We opened the door to see the house a little empty and no one in the living room at all. "We're home" Kim yelled through the air as we entered the house. Running came through the top of the staircase as Mitsuki leaned over the railing. "YOUR HOME!" he yelled as he started to run down the stairs. "Don't fall," I said, as Mitsuki jumped the last two steps and fast walked towards us. More walking came from the hallway downstairs as Yamato walked out. "You two have fun?" he asked as I put down my bags. "Yeah. Ready to set up my office" I said, as I watched Kim and Mitsuki hug. Yamato nodded as he spoke. "Well, when you get that office set up, let me know," he said, as I nodded. "When it's set up, I'll show it to all of you," I said as Kim spoke. "She even has curtains for it," she said in excitement. Yamato looked at me as he spoke. "Please tell me it's not Kingdom Hearts themed," he said, as I sighed. "No, but that would've been a good theme," I said as Kim laughed. "Mal and her Kingdom Hearts. She'll never get over it" she said, as I nodded. "Got that right bestie," I said, as I cracked her a smile. Yamato chuckled as he spoke. "Well, looks like you two had fun then," he said, as Kim nodded. "We did," she said as more walking came through the house. "Welcome home," Sougo said, as him, Riku and Iori walked into the room. I cracked a smile as I sighed. I kept having too much on my mind but I didn't want to talk about it for a moment.  I looked at Kim as she cracked a smile, but lost it when she looked at me. I sighed as I picked up my bag as I started to walk out of the room. "I'll be in my room if anyone needs me," I said, as I started to walk out of the room and up the stairs.  I looked up ahead as to think of up north. I thought about my brothers and what they were doing at the house right now. I sighed as I pulled out my phone, thinking about giving them a call when I hit the door to my room.

"Ouch," I said, as I looked at the door, realizing that I shut it when I left to go shopping with Kim.  I sighed as I turned the handle and entered the room, seeing it the way that I set it up. I huffed, putting my stuff down and continued to look at everything.   I looked at my desk, to see a picture of my family. It was the one that I took before I left for the move. It was a going away gift from my family, as to wish me good luck.  I lift it up as to study it more and rubbing my hand over the back of it. "I'm here because I wanted to be," I said, as I rubbed the back when I felt a little piece of paper. "What the?" I asked as I turned the back over, seeing something white sticking out of it.  I squinted in confusion as I undid the backing to find a rolled up paper in the back. It looked more like a note of some type, which got me confused.  I heard mumbling downstairs as walking came towards the room. "Guys, just leave her alone. She's probably going to be fine" Kim said, as I sighed. Are the boys starting to worry? I did tell them that it'll be a while for me to feel at home.  I sighed as the footsteps walked away shortly after.   I looked down at the note as I put the picture backing on and put the picture next to me. "My mom was the one that gave me this before. So why did a paper get in there?" I asked as I unraveled the paper to find a note.  It went like this.

Mal, I hope you have fun with Idolish7.  Make a lot of good music and memories with the boys. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so enjoy every second of it. Don't worry, you'll be up to visit us at some point.  When you do, I hope you bring Idolish7 to visit us too. The boys look like a good group to be around. I hope your songs make them grow further as a band. I believe you can do it.   Love mom.

I put the note down as I sighed. The note just wanted me to be up north even more. I shook my head as I felt my eyes starting to water.  I whipped my eyes and shook my head,  due to not wanting to cry harder.  "I'm here because I wanted to be," I said, as I thought back to meeting I7 up north. I focused on the memory and the way the boys read the lyrics.  I cracked a smile as I replayed the way they picked on my mistakes.  I looked at my nightstand to find my copy of the song, which made me think. I huffed as I grabbed the paper to see the song, the one that got me this job in the first place.  I shifted comfortably up against the side of the bed as I started to read it, remembering the boy's reaction.  I was getting in tune with the song as a knock came on my door. "Songwriter" Riku's voice muffled through the door. I sighed as I put the song down and opened the door, to find him standing in the hallway. He stood with an expression that was mixed with worry and sadness.  I tried to perk up as I spoke. "What's up," I said, trying to bring my tone more positive.  Riku looked at me as he spoke. "Are you ok? You seemed upset when you came home" he said, as I sighed. "Yeah, just a little homesick at the moment," I said, as I looked back in the room. "I'll be fine. Just thinking about my home and my brothers."  I continued to look in the room, not even wanting to look at him.  I knew the moment I did, I would've lost it due to being homesick.

I heard shifting as Riku spoke. "You want to talk about it songwriter?" he asked as I shook my head.  "No. I'm fine" I said, as a short whimper left my voice. I was trying my hardest not to cry, so I looked down at the floor, avoiding eye contact.  I heard shifting as Riku bent over to look at me. I sighed as I looked up so he didn't hurt his back. I thought about it for a moment, as I sighed.  I looked up as I spoke. "I'm going to be," I said, as I thought about it. I wanted to finish it with fine, but at this point, I didn't know.  Riku huffed as more walking came down the hall. "Riku, songwriter. We're going for a walk outside, you want to" Mitsuki said, as I looked up at him. He studied me with a confused look as he spoke. "You ok?" he asked as I sighed. "Yeah," I said, as I looked down. "Just homesick. That's all" I said, as I felt them staring.  "Do you wanna go for a walk with us?  It's sunny out" Mitsuki said as Riku spoke. "Maybe the sunlight will make you feel better," he said, as I sighed. I looked at the floor as I thought more. I walked towards the closet to grab my hoodie as I walked out, grabbing my phone before I shut the door. "Let's give it a try," I said, as Mitsuki cracked a smile. "Ok, let's go," he said, as we met the rest of the band, along with Kim and Tsmugi downstairs. Kim cracked a smile as she lost it. "You ok Mal?" she asked as I nodded. "Yeah, just need fresh air I think," I said, as she nodded. "Ok, let's go," she said, as we started out the door and turned to walk down the street.

I walked next to Riku on my left while Kim and Mitsuki walked in front of us.   Kim turned back as she spoke. "Don't it feel nice out bestie?" she asked as I sighed.  I looked up at the sky, as I studied the bright sun that shined underneath us. "Yeah, it does," I said, as the sun made me smile but I lost it quickly.  Kim huffed as she looked ahead of her. "Hopefully this helps you," she said, as Tamaki spoke. "If not. I can give her a king pudding. That always cheers me up" he said, as Kim looked back at him.  We had a moment of silence as they all burst out laughing. "Why would pudding help songwriter?" she asked as Tamaki sighed. "True, she doesn't look like the type that eats pudding," he said.  I looked up as I sighed. "Dr. Tamaki. The cure to everything is pudding" I said, as the boys burst out laughing. Sougo looked behind at me as he spoke. "Where did that come from?" he asked, as I shrugged. "I dunno. Just thought of it" I said, as Kim sighed. 

"So, if Tamaki was a doctor, his cure would be pudding. What about the rest of them?" she asked, as I sighed. "You're getting my crazy imagination going, aren't you?" I asked as she nodded. "Yep. The one that gets me laughing" she said, as I sighed.  "I knew it," I said, as she smiled. "So Mal, if Sougo was a doctor, what would his cure to everything be?" she asked as I huffed.  "He would say that cleaning is everything. Then subscribe a day of cleaning to the patent" I said, as chuckling came behind me. "That's definitely So," Yamato said, as I sighed.  Kim turned to me as she spoke. "Ok. Mitsuki, what would he be like?" she asked as I turned to look at Mitsuki. He cracked a smile as I thought about it. "Um. Music I think" I said, as the air went dead. "Why music?" Yamato asked as I shrugged. "The only thing I can think for him at the moment," I said, as Kim sighed. "Ok, Now do Riku," she said.  I sighed. "Bubbles," I said, in a positive tone.  The boys burst out laughing. "Why would he be bubbles?" Iori asked.   "Because he has a bubbly personality," I said, as the air went dead.  Yamato sighed as he spoke. "Cheesy joke songwriter," he said, as I chuckled. Kim laughed as she spoke. 

"Ok, Now what would Nagi's be?" she asked to start the conversation back up. I sighed as I spoke. "Nagi's would be... probably anime," I said, as the boys chuckled. "Make the patent watch anime all day," Tamaki said under his breath.  I shook my head as I sighed. "Ok, now Iori"  Mitsuki spoke.   I sighed as I looked over at him. "That's a hard one," I said, as I thought for a moment. "Um. Probably a balanced nutrition and a change in activity" I said, as Kim sighed. "Yeah, I would agree," she said, as the air went silent. "Ok, now Yamato," she said, as I thought. I sat there to think for a few moments, stuck on the question.  "Um. Yamato would just be like, your fine. Get out of my office" I said, as I pointed out in front of me.  The boys burst out laughing as I looked back.  We stopped so they could finish without falling on the ground. I looked at Kim as she shook her head.  "That would so be Yamato," Mitsuki said, between a burst of laughter as to catch his breath.  I sighed as I looked at Kim as she just shook her head.  

After a few minutes, the boys sighed the rest of their laughter away, as they started to get up off the ground. They turned to Kim as Mitsuki spoke. "Is this what she's like?" he asked as Kim sighed. "Boys, she just got her imagination going. She's going to probably be worse, but it's funny as always" she said, as the boys calmed down. I sighed as I looked at Kim. She cracked a smile as she gave me a hug. "Love ya bestie," she said as I sighed. "Love you too," I said as we turned to the boys.  I sighed as I got a text. I looked at my phone seeing that it was Tsmugi, wondering where the boys were.  I sighed as I texted her back and sighed. "We should probably head back. It's getting late and we have work tomorrow" I said, as Kim nodded. "Agreed, it's getting dark anyway," she said, as we looked back.  The boys watched us as they started to walk back home. We followed as I looked at Kim. She cracked a smile as I spoke. "That was an interesting conversation," I said, as the boys laughed. "Songwriter, please do that again soon," Mitsuki said, as I nodded. "There's plenty more where that came from," I said, as we walked back in silence.
