Zarc's Yuus

Tour

The next morning after breakfast, the five boys and Yuya's parents headed off to Yuya's house. The car wasn't big enough for everyone, so Yoko traveled on her motorcycle with Yugo and Yuya on their D-Wheels.

Yuya still couldn't believe that the beach house belonged to him. He'd always thought it was just a vacation rental! But it did explain why his parents had always been able to take him to stay there whenever he wanted with very little wait time. The wait had always only been long enough to pack their bags for their trip. Now he knew why there was never any reservation time.

The family arrived at the beach house shortly after they left. Zarc, Yuri, Yuto, and Yugo were all in awe when they saw it. Clearly Yuya had left a few details out of his description of his house. It was absolutely magnificent, built on the water, with a garage house a little ways toward the street. The garage house was very big, with more than enough space for the car and all the bikes. To the south was a path leading to a massive greenhouse full of fruits, veggies, herbs, and tea flowers.

As the family made their way to the house, it only became even more impressive. There was beautiful landscaping, marking it as a tropical paradise, and there were two sets of stairs leading up to a balcony. On the balcony were a few garden planters and two rocking chairs. The front door was a sliding glass door, through which the interior of the entryway could be partially seen, though there was a white curtain over the glass.

"Yuya, can you show us around the house?" Zarc asked. The memories he had of the beach house were a bit fuzzy, as he'd never really focused on them much. But he did know that Yuya loved the house, and would be very happy to take his counterparts on a tour of it.

Just as expected, Yuya lit up at the request. "Yeah, c'mon!" he said excitedly. He led the way into the beach house, pushing the curtains over the front door aside. The front entryway had two sofas with a round aquarium coffee table in between them. There was a cat tree and a coat rack with a place for shoes, which the boys dutifully put their own shoes before heading through an archway with curtains.

"So that was the front entryway," Yuya told his counterparts. "Of course, you could tell that. And this is the hallway. And through that archway is the trophy room. It's a bit empty at the moment, but if I recall correctly, we left a few trophies in there."

He led the way through the archway, which also had curtains over it. Sure enough, there were lots of displays, mostly empty but there were some trophies and medals on display, as well as several ribbons. There was another big glass sliding door with yet another curtain over it, and Yuya threw the curtain open. "That's a balcony where mom planted some flowers in planter boxes. There's also a telescope that I like to use at night."

The balcony wasn't very big, but there were four planted boxes filled with tropical flowers. The view from the balcony was beautiful, and the boys could see the back deck of the house from it. They could see a pool in the center of the deck, a few lounge chairs, a walkway to the west leading to a rollerskating rink, and a walkway to the east leading to a gazebo. The house was a waterfront property, and the whole deck and half of the house itself were on the water.

"This view is amazing!" Yugo said happily, looking out over the water. Yuri nodded in agreement, peering through the telescope. "No wonder you're always so happy when you think about this house!"

"Yeah, I love it!" Yuto agreed. "I'm almost glad I never focused too much on your memories of this house. It makes it more impressive to see it this way!"

"Yeah, and there's so much more to see too!" Yuya said, leading the way back inside. He walked out the trophy room archway and paused in the middle of the hallway. "Hmm, I suppose there's no real point to seeing all the bedrooms. They all look pretty much the same... I'll just show you our room when we get to it. Downstairs we go!"
