Love And Ashes

Chapter One

He was back. Back in japan- back in with his
Parents and sister.

"Did you guys get rid of my old room, or is it the same?"

Giyuu asked, bringing in his last thing of luggage.
He sighed, placing by his other suitcase and bag.

"It's the same, just pretty empty,"
His mother said while smiling as she held his cheeks, rubbing his face with her thumbs in a motherly way.

"You have.. grown so much, Giyuu, my baby. "
She said, hugging him as giyuu reciprocated the hug.

"Mom.. I'm like.. 21 now, I'm not a baby.." He pouted but still continued to hug her.

"You'll always be my baby,"

After a few hours, giyuu didn't really unpack, but he got everything in his room and was currently blasting music in his headphones.

Then he received a text from one of his old best friends, Sabito.

Sabito: Hey, yuu, heard you're back in town, down to come to a karaoke bar with some of our old friends?

Giyuu read the text, trying to weigh the pros and cons.

The pros were that he got to see his old friends, probably make more, drink, and sing.

The cons were that he had to see people.

Giyuu: Are you picking me up, or do I meet you there?

Giyuu found himself typing, grinning when he saw sabito read the message.

Sabito: we'll come pick you up, and we've got a few new friends as well- all good?

Giyuu: , , what time?

Sabito: 30 minutes, be ready.

Giyuus eyes widened.

Only thirty minutes? That was barely even enough time to put on mascara.

So he quickly got to work, showering, blow drying his hair, putting it in a ponytail, changing, putting on mascara and eyeliner and then waiting.

All in under 30 minutes.

Soon enough, he heard a car honking, so he hugged tsutako and his mom goodbye and went outside, waving and getting into the left side of the car.

"Giyuu! You're finally back!"

He heard Daki say, hugging him from the side.

"Yeah, I promised I would be back for college," giyuu replied, hugging her back, glancing around the car.

He noticed a few unfamiliar faces.

"Oh! Giyuu, this is Iguro, Mitsuri, Genya, Sanemi, Muichiro, and Yuichiro.. muichiros in the trunk since we didn't have enough seats, " Sabito explained, pointing to each person.

Giyuu nodded, looking at each person with an uninterested look.

His eyes landed on some certain people, seeing scars on their arms, taking mental note of that.

"What are you looking at?" Some boy with scars all over scowled at him. Giyuu looked over at him, a dull expression.

"Seems like a bitch"

He replied, glancing at him up and down, judging him.

The boy just scoffed, turning his head away
And talking to Iguro, some guy sabito had pointed to.

Giyuu went back to catching up with his old friends, completely ignoring that miniature interaction

After they had gotten to the karaoke bar, they ordered some drinks and went into the booth, mitsuri and daki starting to sing while giyuu and the others sat down, he, muichiro and Yuichiro got along fairly quickly.
