Billzegypt-Bring It Back

 "Hello Hiroto." Looking up from his desk, he froze, documents and folders in hand.

"Mitsugi Aiko." Her lips drew into a smile.

"Long time no see stranger." He grew cool, his face reflecting a neutral calm.

"What brings you?"

"It's been a while and I wanted to come by and see how you were doing."

"Where's your half sister?"

"She's somewhere in Germany visiting a friend."

"I see."

"She was really heart broken about your dumping her but hey, what can you do about it?"

"I am sure you never thought your plan would have failed."

"Look, that was fifteen years ago Hiroto-"

"Iwase to you." She smiled.

"Iwase...I came by to apologize. We're all older now and it's time to leave the past in the past."

"Mm."

"I was young and stupid and I admit plotting to set you up with my half sister was a dirty thing to do. It was the only way I could surmise to still somewhat be with you."

"We were never together."

"Well, I thought it appropriate to come make amends with you anyway. I'm married now with a son on the way so I wanna fresh start ya know?"

"It's not me you should be apologizing to. Rae's the one who deserves your apology." She smiled to herself.

"You haven't changed one bit."

"..."

"...Well, at least I tried to come by. I guess I better go now. It was really good to see you Iwase-kun." In the blink of an eye, she turned and left through his doors, leaving him to exhale rather loudly. She had some balls to come see him after what she had done. Steeped in teenage jealousy, her actions could have destroyed them. He wasn't so sure if Rae would be as forgiving or nice as he.

Glancing outwards towards the street, he sighed as he spotted her getting into a car way down below. How strange for her to visit after all this time. He hadn't seen Mitsugi Aiko in over fifteen years and so easily she had been able to come to see him. What was the purpose of this little visit he wondered. Not one ounce of her appeared too terribly remorseful but for that he could care less. He had done his job and tried to warn Kiko of her ways. As long as she stayed out of their lives, he determined that there would be no problem. Licking his lips, he slid on his glasses, sat back down and began to read some paperwork.

"Rae-san?"

"Yes sweetheart?"

"Is Oniisama coming by today?"

"Would you like him to?"

"Mm." She reached up and rustled his hair.
