A/N: Sorry for the delay. Got tied up with works.

*****
Ten days later

Gun came as per his schedule and gave some simple exercise to work his ankle. Slowly Off was getting better, not that he was severe in first place. Today also, one of his sessions and Gun, as usual guiding him through the process. Off have never took this long leave from his work. From his late teenage, his days were piled up with work, being the breadwinner of family. Now that he has some time off work, he have no idea, what to do with it. He even asked for some paperwork he can type from his home, but Podd and Tay strictly declined it.

Off: "Am I ready to go to office?"

Gun: "Why, Mr. Off?"

Off: "It is so boring to stay here."

Gun: "Why so? Don't you have any hobbies?"

There goes Gun, again with his questions. Off liked people who are silent when they are working, but Gun is not the one. From the very first session, he kept on asking questions about Off, his brothers or about his work. He sometimes told about his day, the weird cases he dealt with. Sometimes, any of his brothers or New would be with them, and Gun will be chatting with them. Gun attached to his little circle, like he belonged there. And today, it was Earth, who was with them during their sessions.

Off: "I don't have any hobbies."

Gun: "Unbelieveable! What will you do in your free time?"

Off: "I never had a free time to figure out my likings."

Gun stopped his work and gazed at Off. For a moment he felt really sorry for the elder. Hearing from what Off's brothers and New told, Off was a small plant plucked out of beautiful garden all of a sudden and planted somewhere where it had to fight to grow. Not only grow, but also provide shelter to the ones depending on it.

Off: "Mr. Gun.. Gun.."

He snapped infront of Gun's face to pull him out of his thoughts.

Off: "What are you staring at? Is something wrong with my face?"

Gun: "Nothing.."

Off: "What about the thing I asked?"

Gun: "About that, it still needs to heal a little bit. Maybe after 3 or 4 days, you can go to work."

Off: "Sigh... still 3 days? I am ready to run a marathon now! I am completely fine."

Gun: "Yeah, go ahead and run. Then stay home forever after running."

Gun snapped which made Off shut up.

Gun: "Sorry. I got carried away."

Off: "It's alright."

Gun: "How about you use this time to figure out what you like? Find some hobby."

Off: "Why should I? I will go back to working anyways."

Earth: "You are not a machine P'Off! Also we all are grown up now. We also earn. You don't have to struggle for us anymore."

Earth finally spoke after his long silence. To be honest, he felt heartbroken hearing his elder brother doesn't know what he liked. Off sacrificed his youth for them. He will forever be grateful for that. That's why they desperately wanted to find someone who will cherish and love their elder.

Gun: "See! Your brother also agrees."

Off: "My brothers agree to whatever you say..."

Gun: "Did you say something?"
