Aqua moved along the hallway toward the entry doors, briefly abandoning the set to let his father finish his scene in Masanori's film. He came out and saw Taishi standing a few steps away, holding a bag of takeout that he was forced to pick up. Taishi stared at the eleven-year-old and gave the bag to him, "Here, precocious.”

“Thank you, Gotanda-san.”Aqua took the bag from him, “Where are the drinks?”

Taishi opened the door of the passenger seat and grabbed the drink carrier, “Here.”He said, giving Aqua the cardboard carrier, “I still don't get why you didn't tell your father to go pick it up.”He closed the passenger door and faced Aqua.

“My father is filming, and he doesn't know I bought food or used his card to buy it. He didn't eat anything this morning, and lunch break will start once he's done filming.”Aqua explained, placing the drink carrier down on the ground. He opened the bag and looked through to see if everything he ordered was there.

“You know I'm a busy man, precocious.”

Aqua glanced at the director and did a quick up and down, “You don't look busy right now.”

“Because I came to drop off your takeout!”Taishi exclaimed, “I'm busy at my house and in my room!”He said.

“Right. I appreciate that you went to pick this up for me.”

“I didn't have much of a choice.”

Aqua closed the bag and tied it, “I'll tell my father to take you to the bar as a VIP, and he'll buy you all the drinks you want as payback.” Taishi smirked, “Deal. Enjoy the food you ordered, precocious. Don't forget we have to shoot the next episode tomorrow.”

“Got it.”Aqua said, watching Taishi get in his car and waving goodbye to him. He started the car and drove off, leaving Aqua there.

After about 20 minutes, Hikaru approached the location where Aqua was sitting and watching, saying, "Aqua, I'm done with -"He paused in his steps as he realized the eleven-year-old had vanished. His jaw dropped as the hue on his skin faded. "Aqua?"He looked around for the youngster as terror crept in. He looked around to see where Aqua might have gone before swiftly entering his dressing room.

"Aqua!"He burst through the door. His eyes widened as he noticed Aqua sitting in a chair, with the takeout he had ordered practically on a tiny table large enough for two people to eat at. Aqua asked his father, "Are you done filming your scene?”

A huge wave of relief hit Hikaru, and he placed his arms around Aqua, “Don't disappear like that, please.”

“I apologize.”

Hikaru pressed a quick kiss on Aqua's head before pulling away. He looked down at the takeaway meal, puzzled and shocked, and asked, "Who bought this food?”

“I used your card to buy some takeout for us. Gotanda-san went to pick it up and dropped it off twenty minutes ago.”Aqua explained, “You didn't eat breakfast this morning, so I ordered food that we could eat and enjoy together as son and father.”

Hikaru blinked, “You're very sneaky.”He said, taking a seat.

“Thank you.”Aqua smiled. Hikaru chuckled and patted his head, “I appreciate that you bought food for us to eat and enjoy. Next time, please tell me, okay?”

Aqua nodded, “Got it. Oh, I told Gotanda-san that you'll be taking him to the bar as a VIP, and you'll be buying him all of the drinks he wants.”He said as Hikaru grabbed chopsticks with his eyes staring at his son. Aqua added, “As payback for bringing our takeout over here.”

“I assume he accepted it, right?”

“Mhm.”

“Of course he did. Well, it's the least that I can do for him and what he did for you and I during the years.”Hikaru grinned. Aqua looked at his father's makeup and costume, “Shouldn't you clean up a bit?”
