Enkai's POV:

"Enkaiii!" 'huh..' my eyes began to open, i groaned exhausted, rolling over to the other side and pulling the covers over my head. huffing once i felt someone tackle me and trample over me. "what?" i snapped on accident, "its your first day of school! cmonnnn" whined my younger brother, Akai. "do i have to?" i whined, looking at him with the most pitiful looks ever. "oh cmon, dont be a baby" he rolled his eyes before trying to pull me out of bed.

"okay okay!" i rolled out of bed with a thud, exhaling sharply before getting up. "MISSION SUCCEEDED!" yelled akai, leaving my room. 'that kid.' i shook my head before starting to get ready. combing my long raven hair which looks like blue whenever i go out where its sunny or bright, i put it in a loose ponytail. dressing myself in my UA uniform but instead i tied the uniform coat around my waist. "too hot for somethin' like this." i mumbled to myself before going to brush my teeth.

it was around 8am when i got finished getting dressed, now income my very angry mom who just eyed me down, standing at the entrance to my room. her motherly anger quickly washed away when she saw me, coming closer. "you look gorgeous, En." she smiled before brushing my shirt down only because it was too wrinkled for her. i stayed quiet with a smile plastered on my face. "im okay, mama." i reassured her by placing my hand on her shoulder. as a 15 year old, i'm almost taller than her. "i know, just makin' sure my boy looks great on his first day of school!" she smiled with determination on her face. i giggled before hugging her, rather tightly. 

"alright go eat before its time to go." motioning for me to leave in which i did. grabbing my things and skipping down the stairs, My sister and father came into view, the two of them were sitting at the dining table eating. I observed my father with a painful expression, 'his health is declining more than usual...' i looked down as i realized it isn't very long til he passes away, clenching my fists. 'no, i wont let that happen.' determination was written all over my face. i was now unaware of the fact my sister was looking at me, knowingly. 

"Enkai?" she spoke up, i was startled out of my thoughts. "you should eat." she pointed towards the food that kaa-san has made for me, making me nod in silence before seating myself and begin to dig in. "so, son, are you looking forward to being in a class rather than taking it virtually this time?" my dad's eyes gazed down on me, his blue eyes stared into my blue eyes. "ermm...yes. it'll be a nice change." i shrugged, swallowing down a small portion of food that i fed myself. before dad could speak, Akai rushed down the stairs with a dramatic yell, apparently he was being chased by our family pet cat named Ushi, we named her that cause she looks identical to a cow. white fur with black huge circles decorating it. Ushi isn't really keen towards Akai because he can be very rough with her. "BOY! dont run in the kitchen like that!" shouted mother, chasing after the cat and son. "USHI WONT STOP CHASING MEEEE!" he dramatically hollered, suddenly deciding to be flexible, he jumped over the counter and landed on one of the sofas. now mother was beyond mad, you could see a shadow form around her face. she was very scary when mad..

taking this cue to leave for school, "hey Sora, lets go." i said, motioning for her to give me a ride to school. as her brother, she could never decline. "bet, just lemme get my keys." i saw her go upstairs and moments later she would come back. "have fun, en." father ruffled my hair, i smiled and nodded. "will do."

----

"you know, Enkai..you shouldn't dwell on father's illness." Sora started as she was driving him to his school. this comment actually infuriated the boy but he stayed quiet. "Papa is stronger than you think he is ever capable of being. instead of mentally hurting yourself, trust him that he will take care of himself. and if he ever does..you know, just know he wouldn't want us to mope about it. he wants us to live our lives the best we can." she lectured, her black hair was long enough to hide her expression, but she continued to look at him through the small mirror.
