TERUMI'S EYES WERE FIXATED on her stomach, rubbing the soft clothed flesh. "I'm hungry..." She hummed above her stomachs tumultuous growl."Oh, I see. Then let's head back to the kitchen. I'll make you something good to eat" Ran smiled kindly, ignoring Rindou's low scoff. He lead the way while the rest followed almost quietly.
"So little miss. are you excited about this new home of yours?" He hummed, striking up a conversation to entertain himself as they made their way. "Mm-hmm. I like it very much. It's so big" Terumi nodded slightly.
"I bet you can't wait to invite all your friends over to play, huh?" he chuckled, kind smile rested on his features. Terumi didn't respond this time, her bangs shadowing her wide eyes.
"You're weird! How come you don't have a mommy or daddy?"
"I... don't know..."
"We don't wanna be friends with you"
"Look! Look! It's the orphan!"
"Haha! You have no mommy~ You have no daddy~"
"Hey orphan, want my mommy to adopt you?"
"I... don't have any friends..." She hummed softly, her voice laced with solemn. "Why not? A cute kid like you ought to be really popular, y'know" Ran persisted, a playful frown tugging at his lips.
"After a while, grampa put me in homeschool... Cause it's embarrassing..." She mumbled, her pupils trembling as she pressed her fingertips together softly.
'Grampa...? Guess we'll be bringin' This up when we have that talk with the Sawanoi's' Ran thought, his downturned eyes briefly fixated on Mirai. He slowed his pace, humming happily as he now walked next to Terumi.
"Hey, after eating, wanna watch a movie? In this house, you can watch whatever you want" He shifted the conversation, after seeing her reaction to his previous question. "Even Doraemon?" Terumi asked, hopefully— large eyes burning holes into his skull.
"Of course!" Ran agreed, eyeing Rindou. The younger of the two brothers caught on quickly, his body swiveling before he walked away. Mirai watched for a second, before turning her attention back to Terumi.
"By the way, miss. Do you wanna go to public school?" Ran asked kindly. "Oh, yes" Terumi nodded quickly. "I want to try eating in a cafeteria" she explained. "Well, how about this. I'll promise to talk to your dad and see if you can get enrolled this year" he hummed.
Terumi held out her short, pudgy pinky towards him. "You really swear?" She asked, hope filling her large pink eyes. Ran chuckled, nodding his head and taking her small finger with his larger, thinner one.
