CHAPTER 27 - ARCADE

WORDS BETWEEN - - MEANS THOUGHTS

POV - MOTHER (L/N)

It was a little bit after 9 when I heard the door open. I was in my office working while Benjiro was out for work. 

"I'm home." A voice called out. I smiled, hearing my baby boy's voice. 

"Welcome back! I'm in my office." I called out. When walking to his room, I saw him walk past my office.

-Not gonna see me face to face?- "How was the sleepover?" I asked as I looked over at the door. 

He stopped and looked at me with a neutral face that I was used to seeing. 

"It was great. We all had fun." He answered. After that quick response, he left for his room. I sighed.

"He can never be like his older brothers." I muttered.

A few later, as I was making lunch for the both of us, tonkatsu over rice, I heard (M/N) leaving his room. 

"I'm going out now." He said. 

"Baby? Where are you going? Come on, have some lunch with your dear mother." I said. He gave me a side eye.

"I promised the boys that I'll be going out for lunch with them." (M/N) answered. 

I gave a challenging look to my son. 

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind you missing out this time. Ever since you came home, you never had time for me." I said.

He sighed and placed his bag down. "Fine, but I'm not staying for long." He replied. I smiled. "Fine by me."

(M/N) sat down and quickly sent a text to his friends as I set the table. 

We both said our thanks and started to eat. 

"So, honey, how was Blue Lock?" I asked. "Good. I enjoyed it." He answered.

"That's nice. You know, the house seemed so empty without you here. That's why I asked if Benjiro was able to move in with me." I said.

The brown haired male nodded. "Did you ever miss home, (M/N)?" I asked.

"Sometimes." He replied. "Awwe. You missed your mother?" I asked.

"Sure. Either way, I was really busy thinking about my feelings and the life I had before." (M/N) said.

"Is that so? But look at you. All your hard work paid off. You're now trending on social media." I answered.

I opened my phone and showed my son my feds on social media. 

"Everyone seems to be in love with the way you look and your skills. Such a handsome young man. All because of me, I was the one who created you. Now I get some bragging rights." I smiled.

"Sure. Anyways, I'm done. Thanks for the meal." He said.

I watched (M/N) set his plate into the sink and head out the door. "See you later." He said.

"Bye, (M/N)! Be safe!" I called out. "Yeah." 

And with that, he closed the door and was on his way.

After I finished up my portion and did the dishes, I got ready to meet up with my friends. We met up at a nearby Starbucks for some coffee. 

"I'm soo jealous of you, (M/N)! You have such an amazing son! (M/N) really got the looks. I'm thinking my daughter is having a crush on him!" Friend #1 said.

I felt really smug. "I mean, what can I say? (M/N), Rin, and Sae are just wonderful sons. I'm glad I can call my sons." I replied.

"My son would like their autographs! Your boys are such top tier soccer players." Friend #2 said.

I smiled and sipped my coffee. "I know." 

I looked out the window to see (M/N) walking with 2 of his friends while laughing. 

-Such a blessing. There was no need for a daughter in my life.-

POV - (L/N) (M/N)/ITOSHI (F/N)

When I arrived at the arcade, I saw Seishiro and Reo waiting for me. "Sorry I'm late!" I called out.

They both looked up from their phones and smiled at me. 

"It's fine. We just finished eating lunch." Reo replied. I nodded.

"Nice hair cut, (F/N). It looks good on you." He continued. I smiled and patted my hair. 

"Thanks. I wanted to change it up." I replied.

We both went to buy the coins for the arcade and went on a spree. 

Reo was good at the games but not as good as Seishiro and I.

The taller male and I always went up against each other at all the games in the arcade. 

Seishiro always played video games which set him at a greater advantage but that doesn't mean that I would go down without a fight.

"TAKE THAT, SEISHIRO!" I yelled. I was able to beat him at Mario Karts. "Dang it." Seishiro whined.

The giant started to sulk which made me and Reo laugh. 

"Omg. Is that..." "That's Nagi Seishiro, Mikage Reo, and (L/N) (M/N). They look sooo fine in person!" "I call dibs on (M/N)-kun! He might be small but boy is he so hot!" I heard people 'whisper'.

The 3 of us heard the whispers and looked back. "AHHH! THEY'RE LOOKING AT US!" They yelled.

The crowd of girls started to flock to us to ask questions, take pictures, and autographs. 

-Oh god no. Not again.- After what seems to be like an eternity, they finally left us alone.

It was dinner time and Reo decided to treat us out to some expensive ass sushi. 

"If only I could have money like Reo." Seishiro muttered. I laughed. 

"If you did, you would have spent all of the money on games, Seishiro." I said.

"No I won't." Reo and I looked at each other before at Seishiro. "Yes you would." We said at the same time.

The dinner was filled with teasing and laughter. "Wait, so you and Isagi are official now!?" They yelled.

I nodded with a blush on my face. 

"Yeah. But pipe it down! Don't want the world to know now right?" I asked.

"Hmm. You and Isagi." Reo and I looked back at Seishiro. "Not bad. But just know that we got your back." He said.

I smiled. "Thanks, you both." I thanked them.

"I know it's 'bros before hoes' but I prefer you over Isagi." Reo said.

I sweatdropped. "I 100% agree." Seishiro said.

I rubbed my nape and continued to eat the sushi on my plate. "Alright then." I muttered.

Reo's chauffeur dropped me off at my apartment after dinner.

"Thank you. Have a nice night. Bye, Reo, Seishiro!" "Goodnight, (F/N)!" "Night." We bid each other goodnight.

When I went up to the door to open it, I felt the atmosphere in the house was cold. 

"I'm home." I called out. "(L/N) (M/N). Have a seat." My mom replied.

I took off my shoes and sweater and walked into the living room to see mom staring at a piece of paper in her hand. 

"What did you tell your dad?" She demanded.
