" CRACKING THE SHELL "
(SSKK-NEUTRAL)

Ahhh... What a beautiful day. That's it. Let's go outside and buy some groceries. Better spend my off day wisely today. Let's see, Hurm... "Oi, kid! Get ready. Today you going to company me with groceries." Said Chuuya to his 8 year old kid, Akutagawa.

"But, Chuyaa-san, you usually do it alone. Why am I need to tag along today?" Asked the little raven boy with a little groan from under his blanket. A little pissed because his morning was disturbed by his guardian, who comes to his room with an unbelievable request since his guardian, more than anyone else, should know that he hate to go outside no matter what.

"No. Not today. Today you're going with me. Full stop." Said Chuuya firmly.

"But-"

"Get ready; I'm waiting for you in the kitchen for breakfast, then we're off." Said Chuyaa without giving a chance for his little raven to make an excuse.

With that, the little raven lazily got up, made his bed, took a bath, and got ready wearing his black hoodie that he got from Chuuya as his gift for being officially adopted and living together with Chuuya. After that, he went to the kitchen for breakfast with his orange hair guardian.

Chuuya smiled when he saw little Akutagawa wearing his black hoodie. His mind flew to 1 year ago when he took the raven from the orphanage. At first, the raven kid insists he doesn't want anything at all. Until he accidentally saw that hoodie while shopping with Chuuya.

Like a vice versa, Chuuya now insists on buying that hoodie for the raven and asks him to choose another design since the one that Ying Yang hair boy pointed out is a black demonic hoodie with a font saying, "CAUTION'S, MONSTER HERE."

Chuuya doesn't want to buy that one because it will make the kid hard to get friends despite being already totally introverted and isolated, plus with homeschooled, how he will make another friend when even just making a little human contact seems like he makes an enemy in the entire world. Being social is like his worst rivalry.

Time skip: after they're finished buying groceries, Chuyaa's eye accidentally falls to some boutique that displays all branded hats! And to make it worse (at least to the little raven with white tips), there's a new brand hat that Chuyaaa was longed for.

So, he was left outside the boutique with all the grocery stuff. Luckily, there's a bench nearly, and Akutagawa sat there to kill time because he knew that once his guardian was inside the boutique that sold hats, that meant he was in a maze with no way out.

2 hours pass, and Akutagawa starts to get bored. Regretting, he starts to question himself: Why did he agree to go outside in the first place?! Oh, right! Chuyaa forced me without any options left for me.-He thought.

Since he started feeling a little bit hungry because it was already afternoon, he took a fig from his groceries and ate while waiting for Chuyaa.

"Can I sit here with you?" Suddenly, a question directed to the little raven out of nowhere made him a little surprised and ready to scold whoever the person is. But, when his eye saw who the owner of the voice was, he stunned for a moment.

There's a little boy, an albino, a cute one. His hair cut poorly, but that did not affect his cute face with somehow peculiar but pretty eyes—big round eyes with golden and purple color—how is that even possible? —He thought a little before his eyes started to scan the little boy from head to toe.

He noticed that boy looks 2 years younger than him, a little timid, and wearing a white tiger hoodie with the font printed on it, "I AM CUTE, RIGHT?!" Heh, so he's aware that he's cute.— Akutagawa thought again, seeming to forget that little boy was waiting for his answer to allow him to sit next to him.
