THE SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS STOMPING ON DRY
leaves mixed in with the sound of wind blowing the tall trees. a young man run his geta sandals back to his home─safe house more likely, along with another young man trailing behind him, both wearing kimonos but with different colors; honey color and grey color.
the male one feet ahead of the other has a relaxed smirk on his well-sculpted face, his downturned eyes with a glint of excitement stared straight ahead to focus on their route back to their sanctuary in the middle of the woods, finally passing by the small, white wood in a rectangular shape with the name written; DISTRICT 1.
the boy's excitement grew as him and the boy behind him; his twin brother came nearer and nearer to their destination, " so that's how he looks like."
the both of them slowed down their pace, from running, to jogging, to walking closer to the small, double door gates with two girls wearing brow fox masks standing at each side, " welcome back, young masters."
the two girls proceeds to open the gates for them, and the two fine, good looking young men entered with ease, walking through trees once again before spotting the glimpse of the western-style house.
a male with dark brown hair, slightly-combed down, with a few strands of hair sticking out came to their sights, wearing a kimono that matches the color of his hair, " that was fast."
" our protection's almost wearing off." the male wearing the darkish grey kimono simply says, walking towards the clean, wooden floor that raised up from the ground and sat on there, " 'tsumu almost got caught. he walked out of our hiding place because of the human."
" what did the human being do?"
" breath."
" SHUT YER MOUTH!" the pissed off, pissed colored hair boy yells out, gazing at his twin brother with a glare before calming down with a sigh.
a small smile quickly tugged his lips up, eyes staring at the ground as he tried to remember what happened earlier before their journey back to their district.

" be quiet!"
" you be quiet!"
the two sat at the very top branch of the tallest tree they could find that is planted near the mansion, where they can the front garden of the huge house, since they can't entirely enter the territory with them being the "outsiders".
a boy was standing near the small fountain with pink and purple flower petals floating around in the water with a white, tiger cub playfully trailing just behind him as if guarding and protecting him from any harm.
" you think that tiger will bite us if we adopt it?"
" the tiger in our home almost killed you cause you're ugly."
" YOU'RE ugly!"
" SSHH!"
the two visitors turned back to the garden, staring once again at the boy who's back was facing their direction, so all they can see is the boy's bright, orange hair, the plain white shirt and black shorts that reaches above his thighs that he's wearing, exposed to the warm sunlight hovering over his small, dainty figure.
but the two brother would always bicker loudly because of the other ones retorts and the other ones complaints.
that made the ginger head to turn around to find where the small, distant voices that is bothering him from his peaceful time in the garden.
he spotted the tallest tree moving a bit despite no wind or any feint breeze blowing it, his large, doe eyes staring at it for a bit, as though he's waiting for the tree to stop.
he unconsciously moved, leisurely walking to the direction of the tall tree, making the tiger cub following behind to tilt its head.
the tall plant slowly stopped from swaying, in sync with his feet which also stopped from walking.
as he peered close to the top of the tree, he saw──caught a pair of eyes staring at him back, catching him off guard. he stumbled back out of surprise, his back suddenly meeting against a body; akaashi's body,
who crawled his right hand on the ginger's slim waist while his free left hand tenderly holds the small left hand of the ginger, which was lifted up slightly, " that's enough sunlight for you today."
" h-huh? ... oh .. r-right." the tangerine looks up to the vampire behind him before quickly looking down shyly after seeing the young man smiling down at him handsomely, especially with him holding his waist and hand like he's pregnant or someone who would break easily.
" let's get you back inside." akaashi planted a small kiss on shouyou's pinkish knuckles, slowly letting it go after and pulled him towards the open doors of the mansion, where kenma was waiting with a rather jealous look.
shouyou couldn't seem to get his eyes off the tree as he was looking at that way while walking towards kenma back inside the house.
meanwhile, sitting on the tree branch, atsumu was stoned, his twin brother not beside him anymore but on the ground; he fell from the tree branch after fighting with his brother but he landed safely on his geta slippers.
atsumu moved his face closer, his wide eyes in disbelief staring at the orange hair, which was the last thing he saw before the huge doors closed shut, leaving the garden at peace once again.
" how ... delicate."

" you can let go of him now, akaashi." kenma monotonously says, slightly growling as he rested his hand over the ginger's left shoulder, pulling the boy towards him.
" why so jealous? i was just holding him cause the baby might──"
" THERE IS NO BABY."
" there will be one. soon. running their small feet around here then coming to their mama, asking for him to pick them up."
