[Ch.15]

~~~~

The way home was full of awkward silence and stuffy tension, both you and tadashi discreetly avoiding the obvious questions brimming in your minds as you stared nonchalantly out of the bus window.

~~~~

At around 9.30pm the bus came to a stop, this stop was your que to take tadashi and head home but as you shuffled from your seat the buzz of your phone sent a shock through you and your brother who was suddenly stirred from his drowsy stupor.

The buzz was a call from a very rarely used number. Your mother's phone.

~~~~

It wasn't common place for your mother to call you and even less likely for it to occur just after or during a work trip, hence you were more acquainted with the familiar notification of 'Email from Ryojitomaki recieved' Ryoji being your parents assistant and the most sympathetic person toward you and your brother at the entire office complex your parents worked from.

As much as you hesitated you eventually clicked the call button a grimace taking form as you took your brother and flung yourself from the bus.

"Hello? Mum?" You made the first call for conversation and it wasn't long before your mother responded monotonously. "[Name], me and your father are at home right now where are you and your brother" she worded it like a statement in her usual commanding tone acting like she was entirely entitled to an explanation for your whereabouts. You considered your response carefully and arrived at a sound conclusion.

You wouldn't respond.

Your mother however clearly found issue "answer me now young lady! You haven't seen us in over month and this is how you greet us home your father is worried sick!"

Tadashi in his irritable, drowsy state spat out without any of your careful consideration "Shut up!" Silence down the phone line as he continued "so your allowed to leave us multiple times a year but we aren't allowed to be late home even once, what great parents we've been blessed with".

The phone remained quiet in response so you seized the chance to recieve your mother's harsh insults and added fuel to the fire as you both stood motionless by the bus stop "And stop using dad as a way to get out of arguments he'd just as absent as you the only difference is that he actually cares about what his absence does so push off with being overbearing if anyone has a right to parent us it's Ryoji" you made sure to imitate her nonchalant tone and commanding nature in your words as you added the final blow "we'll see you tomorrow don't bother calling".

With that sentence you hung up the phone and realising that your words had landed you both in a tricky situation, you decided to take your chances asking tadashi for ideas.

~~~~

"So...I guess we have to avoid going home for the night, any ideas?" Tadashi considered for a moment without any visible discontent toward the current situation and then spoke "Ryoji's apartments about half an hour away by foot how about we go there?".

Whilst it wasn't a bad idea, Ryoji was only sympathetic not a friend and you felt like you would be imposing on him if you turned up suddenly especially at 10pm "No way he only sympathises he doesn't actually care that deeply idiot, how about I ask michimiya?" Your brothers face scrunched in apprehension "she's a girl though she might not want me there..." so you thought again arriving at a fortunate memory "Kōshi is in the same apartment complex!" You exclaimed only to quickly burn up a flare of embarrassment at the notice of your casual use of his first name "ahem...I can ask suga to let you stay at his whilst I stay over at michimiya's we'll only be at different floor levels don't worry". Tadashi only smirked shyly and nodded.

~~~~

You quickly gathered the courage and sent two messages out to both michimiya and sugawara. As you waited for a response you took off with tadashi in tow toward the apartment complex they both lived in, confidant in their approval.

'Bing' 'Bing'

That was just the noise you needed to hear and you promptly ripped your phone from your pocket and read over the message you had recieved.

It was indeed sugawara and michimiya both messaged simultaneously and both had responded with a resounding yes to your request, michimiya even telling you both to wait where you were because she would come get you both by car soon.

~~~~

After about 25 minutes the sound of a car engine coming to a stop reached your ears, a cheerful voice called from the newly pulled up car "Hey over here, get in!" Michimiya smiled as her voice sounded through the street with little restraint.

"Thanks so much michimiya, I'm sorry for intruding again" you bowed toward her and her mother who sat in the drivers seat a smile gracing her face in pity or maybe it was actual respect...you couldn't tell.

"Ah its no problem! My mum already got the sleeping stuff ready and is going to cook some soup for you to warm up once we get back" michimiya was welcoming and her voice didn't carry even a hint of disapproval at you both not going home she didn't even raise an eyebrow at Tadashi's presence before telling her mum to start the car.

"I suppose yamaguchi-san is headed over to Sugawara's?" While you knew who she was talking about you couldn't help but cringe at the use of the infamous last name. "Yes I'll drop him over to suga's first then I'll meet you back at your apartment" your voice carried clear enough but you could hear a tint of exhaustion linger in every letter spoken. Michimiya however just nodded and turned back to her mother to continue speaking candidly about school for the next 25 ish minutes.

~~~~

"[Name]-chan it seems like sugawara is already waiting in reception, so there isn't any need for a detour" the older woman turned to you for the first time with another of those questionable smiles hung on her face. Your eyes however trailed from her face and over to the reception of the complex, the car had just stopped and the reception was in clear view from your seat, indeed suga was stood there briefly before he saw the car pull up and he sprinted from his spot yanking his umbrella up as he went.

"[Name], Tadashi!" He called out his voice quite mellow and slightly hoarse as though he had shouted to often within the past few hours "what happened?! Why are you two away from home?"

While you would've loved to answer him you were just too drowsy and could only conjure a smile before humming out the phrase "don't worry to much its fine".

The now familiar and welcomed pair of cedar eyes filled with doubtful curiosity but he managed to atleast gather that it was much too late ushering the half conscious Tadashi from your side and nodding toward you.

It wasn't long before you had managed to wolf down the tomato soup michimiya's mother, Mrs Anko, had made for you and fallen asleep scrunched up like a shrimp in the small futon put down for you in michimiya's room. Not bothering to indulge in conversation like the time before.

Though she didn't seem to mind.
