"You think they'll be okay?" Y/n whispered, staring at her siblings, who laid all across her main rooms floor, dead asleep.

"Why wouldn't they be?"

"They've been through a lot. Plus, my head can't wrap around the fact that s/n is basically an adult."

"You two could get a lot closer now" Tendou nudged her with his elbow.

"What should i do about dad?" Y/n muttered. She'd seen many point of views from her siblings. Isamu was purely infuriated and blinded by his burning white anger to face any of the facts, Takeshi is desperate for a dad and is completely disregarding any of his underlying suspicions, S/n just wants what is best for her brothers.

"Takeshi and S/n agreed to stay with dad but they did it for different reasons. Isamu completely hates my father, I understand it because I hate the man too. But, really, they didnt agree on anything. Plus, it's painfully obvious that they all prefer to live with your mom. Hell, s/n even said that they've started calling her 'Mom'. Still..." Y/n rapidly bounced her leg up and down and bit her nails past its beds,

"They can't burden your family anymore and they all refuse to stay here. Maybe-"

"Maybe you should quit worrying, its really not good for you" He moved her hands away from her face.

"Easy for you to say. Your mom was kind enough to let them stay in her home. Your family is kind and caring, mine is a mess. Randomly my father decides to sober up. What the hell is up with that?"

Tendou sighed. She didn't listen to a word he said, "Do you want him to be around?"

"I don't think so.. plus, he said he doesn't like you" She laughed, "I'll ask S/n and the boys what they think i should do"

"Like high school musical said, we're all in this together" The bright glow of the television illuminated Tendous smile.

"Shut up" Y/n playfully rolled her eyes and lightly hit his chest, "Today was insane wasn't it? You'll be on the papers and on the online local news." Y/n sarcastically sniffed, "I am so proud"

Tendou averted his eyes and mumbled something under his breath, she couldn't hear what he said due to the television playing idly in the background, "About that" He finally faced her,

"I was going to tell you over dinner but your dad came so that plan went out of the window." Tendou nervously continued, "Remember when i went to France a year and a half ago for an internship?"

Y/n nodded, "Well, its funny because" He laughed for no reason at all, "The big man decided to retire and he said the 'internship' was more like a way to find someone who could fill his position and take over his business. He chose me. isnt that exciting!?"

Y/n was at a loss for words, "What?"

"He offered me a job at a very well known shop. Not just any job, but head baker and choclatier"

"But.. you have that here. You own a bakery thats becoming well known, why go to france?"

Tendou had played this scenario in his head multiple times, just to see what outcomes he might get, this wasnt one of them. He assumed that she'd be proud. He had thought about the offer for a while and decided that he wasnt really going to take the job.

"Because its a great opportunity for me"

"So.. just a question, a thought - what are you going to do? I mean, i have a job here, my doctor is here. What about Miss Sora? You dont want us to leave do you? What about them" She pointed at her sleeping siblings.

"Hey woah" Tendou put his hands up in defense, "I never said i was going to take the job. All i said was that i had an offer."

Y/n replied with a mere 'oh', she felt so stupid for getting defensive. And some time ago, she would've encouraged him to take the job, but things were different now.
