Tokyo, here we come!

Once they reached the bottom of the stairs Kei stopped and took a deep breath, Shoyo smiling gently at him as he patiently waited for him. Once he felt calmer the two walked forward, turning once they reached the living room where Natsu and the sunshine's parent's were waiting for them.

"You must be Kei.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As they turned the corner Shoyo's dad stood up slowly, walking towards them, "you must be Kei" he then said before he stopped, holding out his hand to him with a small smile. Kei looked surprised for a while as he looked down at his hand and then up to his face. Shoyo, confused by the silence whistled, noticing the position his father had taken.

He giggled a little as he nudged Kei with his shoulder, a smile on his face as he looked in his boyfriend's direction. He could hear Kei gulp next to him as he reached out his hand, Shoyo's father giving him a firm handshake before he let go, grinning. "You better take good care of my son Kei" was all he said before he went back to Natsu and his wife, sitting down once more.

Kei turned into a stunned tomato, 'eh? That's all?' Shoyo, like always, caught on to his thoughts almost immediately, "I told you that you had nothing to worry about, Kei" he said with a smile as he pulled his boyfriend with him to the sofa, whistling. Once they got there they sat down, all of them talking for a while as Kei stayed stunned over how simple it was.

Shoyo's mother chuckled a little as she looked at him, seeing as he looked like a lost puppy. "You okay there Kei?" she eventually asked, letting out one last giggle before she smiled. "Eh?" was all he said as he tried to register her question, his face lighting up as realization hit. "Ah! I'm alright, sorry.." he then said in a low voice as he blushed a little, using his right hand to scratch the back of his neck awkwardly.

The four Hinata's just laughed or giggled as Kei responded, flustered. After that they kept talking for a while before Shoyo's father placed both his hands on his legs. He looked at them for a moment before speaking up, "well, shall we go?" he asked in an excited voice, Natsu and Shoyo both shouting "Aye aye captain!" earning a laugh from the grown ups and a confused expression from Kei.

Shoyo's mother smiled and gave a quick, short explanation to Kei. "My husband here works as a captain, hence the response they gave." Kei only nodded in response as he stood up, pulling Shoyo up with him as they still held hands. (A/n: I will switch over to using names instead of repeatedly writing "mother and father." His mother's name is Amami and his father's name is Haruki.)

They all grabbed their things before heading to the car, loading their bags in the back before they entered the car, Kei helping Shoyo with his seatbelt as they got inside and sat down. Natsu giggled as she watched them, happy for her big brother. Once the three of them were seated and buckled up, Haruki started the engine, setting out on their 4 hour drive to Tokyo.

"Nii-tan!" Natsu suddenly exclaimed, not even 10 minutes after the drive began. "Yes Natsu?" he asked as he turned to his little sister with a small smile, her grinning back. "Will you sing for me!?" she asked him excited, hoping he'd say yes. Shoyo just blushed, if it was just them he would have agreed right away, but at that moment Kei was there with them.

"Please Nii-tan.. Will you sing?" She begged cutely, putting on puppy eyes despite knowing he wouldn't see it. Shoyo stayed quiet for a moment before he eventually said, "what song?" with a tiny, inaudible sigh. "I won't let go!" she shouted happily as her brother agreed. Kei had stayed quiet during the whole exchange, curious as to what his boyfriend would sound when singing.
