Nature hits back....

Consience

I waited for my father to return but that feeling of actually something bad happening or that it had something to do with me was something, I couldn't get rid of. I didn't know why I felt like that but I did.

Eraserhead: Problem child?

Me: Huh?

Eraserhead: It's alright.

For some reasons this hero was sitting right next to me and he had some mugs in his hands. I don't know when that happened but it seemed as if I had zoomed out a bit.

Eraserhead: Tea since I know how much you like that.

Me: Thanks... and you got coffee?

Eraserhead: No, actually... I thought I can give this tea a try.

Me: Pffff- Who are you and what did you to do THE Eraserhead.

Eraserhead: A smile fits you a lot better.

Me: Thanks.

There was no doubt that this man was doing a great job that didn't stop me from actually worrying about my father. Who knows what was out there and why it was taking my father soo long to get back. Hours passed and there was really not a single sign of him at all.

Eraserhead: How is school going on for you so far?

Me: Good, I guess... how is Hitoshi?

Eraserhead: Still has some troubles.

Me: I hope he will get better.

Eraserhead: Time is a good healing potion and of course we are there for him as we are all there for you and your father.

Me: Thanks.

I could only say that I was really glad that I could hear the door opening because that was the same moment I nearly threw the mug from my hands and started dashing to the door... just nearly. I managed to actually put it on the floor before I started dashing towards it. When I saw that my father was there with his co-workers, I couldn't actually hold back anymore and hugged him. I know childish but with that feeling of something very bad going on, I just couldn't resist.

Dad: Anything happened while I was gone?

Me: No... Did you find them?

Dad: Yes. 

Me: Thank god.... Does this mean, it's safe to be out again?

Dad: .... 

Me: Dad?

Sansa: It is but you know what me and your dad were talking about earlier?

Me: Hm?

At one point, I let go and looked at both of them while basically blocking the way into our home. A couple of times, just like today, I knew how much I was a nuisence and trust me being in the way was one of the best things I can do. Actually you could call it being one of my best talents.

Sansa: You know... how about you tell it to your kid. I don't wanna ruin that surprise.

He did elbow my father but nothing came out of my good old man that I really started to think that they were bluffing. 

Sansa: Fine, fine then I'll say it. Kiddo, we were talking about how Tsuki here wants to spend more time with you and that we can actually take you to school.

Dad: When did we-

Sansa: Seriously... are you that burned out?

Dad: Fuck... sorry. I was too focused.

Sansa: See! Your old man here needs some time off and he misses you. Burning out ....ahh man... you really need rest.

Dad: I am sorry Partner, I guess... there is too much on my plate.

Sansa: What you think why you have a great partner for?

Still a bit confused about what was going on but it seemed as if Eraserhead joined and laughed a bit before joining us all.

Eraserhead: You both need that.

Dad: I know... alright, alright, Izu it's already late. How about you set up the couch so Eraserhead as well as Sansa can stay over? It's already late and I will not let them go home at this hour.

Me: Alright.

Just like that I left them alone while starting to set the couches so that they could sleep over and stay with us. I had no idea what came over my father but normally he was not a person to call it a night with his coworkers. I've never seen anyone spend the night over at our place. I saw my father spend the night over by Eraserhead and Mic just because he got drunk. I don't really know what happened but I just remember that there was that one time and my mother was really starting to get nervouse till we had a call and a picture send over from Midnight. Mic and Eraserhead as well as my dad were completly drunk and happy.

I guess he wants to spend a night witht he boys.

He deserves that.

Maybe he can enjoy a game with them or a show.

I am just glad he can be himself for a day.... but burn out.

Guess I should try help more out around the house.

Yeah... I will definitely help more out.

I promise I will make it easier on you.
