Chapter 4: No Trust

Kyu's POV

It's 8:00am. One hour until I have to pick up Takumi and I'm still in bed. I get up out of bed and rub the sleep from my eyes,then walk to Mark's 'room'. I peaked though the door to see Mark still asleep. I walked in and jumped on top of him." Hey Mark wake up",I yelled. I scared him half to death."Hey you got to stop that okay,"I saw that he noticed that I was on top of him then his face turned a bright red" You've gotta get up,my brother's fight lands in one hour and your coming with me,"I said."Could get off me so I can get up,"he said. My face turned a bright red,"Oh yeah," I got off of Mark and stood up. "So Mark...um..I'm a be right back,"I stuttered. I left the room in a hurry so Mark wouldn't see how red my face was. I've never felt like this before because I grew up with a brother. I walked to my room,grabbed Mark's new clothes,then returned to Mark's room."Mark here I got your clothes,you should probably go take shower,"I said. "Thanks,"he said. I walked to my room,then changed my outfit. I walked in to the bathroom totally forgetting the Mark's in there. I open the door to see Mark with just a towel around his waist. He notices that I'm here and accidentally drops his towel . I guess that answers my Anatomy question from before. My face redder than a tomato, I nervously back out of the bathroom and close the door.

"Hey Mark you dressed?,"I heard shuffling around then he answered,"Almost,"he said."We need to leave soon,I'll be down stairs when your ready,"I said."Okay,"he said.I walked down stairs,sat on the couch and watched Steven universe.

After a while I heard Mark walking down the stairs."Hey Kyu I'm ready to go," he yelled."Okay," I turned off the TV and walked to meet Mark. He was wearing his red and black flannel."Let's go,"I said. We hopped in my car and drove to the airport. As I was driving I got a text."Hey Mark can you get my phone,"I said"Sure where is it?,"He asked."It's in my pocket,"I said. He reached for my phone in my pocket."I got a text,who's it from,"I asked."Takumi,"he said."What it say?," I asked."It says 'Hey sis my plane landed a few minutes ago,I'm at terminal 3,'"he said. A few minutes later we arrived a the airport. I got out of the car and followed the signs to terminal 3."TAKUMI!,"I yelled."Hey sis no need to yell I'm right here,"not to my knowledge he was closer than I thought. I gave him a big bear hug,"I missed you so much,"I said."I missed you too,"he said. We finally separated from longing hug,I saw Takumi start to stare down Mark as if he murdered someone."This is Mark, he's my friend,"I said."Hey it's great to finally meet you,"he said as he reached for a handshake."Let's go,I've got a lot planned today,"I said. We walked back to my car and drove a Christmas tree place."Why are we here,"Takumi asked."I didn't think anyone was gonna be here for Christmas so I didn't bother,"I said."What about Miko~chan?,"he asked."She had to take care of obasan,"I said."Oh,well there's no time to wait let's go get ourselves a tree,"he said. We got out of the car and started to look for the perfect tree. It took a long time but I found the perfect tree,it was small but perfect in it own way.

After that we stopped by the store bought some decorations and returned home. Umi took the tree inside the house,Mark didn't say a word the whole time. I think either he felt like an outcast because me and Umi kept referencing things from our childhood that Mark didn't understand or he was scared of Takumi. At random moments he would give Mark this sinister look.

We started to decorate the tree,as we started to decorate the tree Takumi tapped my shoulder and told me to follow him."Hey Mark I'll be right back,"I said. He nodded.

I followed him to the down stairs guest room."Hey you trust Mark?,"he questioned."Yeah,"I said."How did you meet Mark?,"he questioned."Um.....Miko~chan introduced us,"I said."Is he going to be staying here?,"he asked."Um.....yeah?,"I said."For how long?,"he asked."I don't know,"I said"What do you mean 'I don't know',"he said. I couldn't think of an excuse because I didn't want to say the truth,he wouldn't believe me. I just stood there in silence."Oh I see how it is you trust a random stranger than your own brother,"he was about to storm out but I grabbed him before he could."I'm sorry,your right I should always be able to tell you the truth,If I told you the truth you'd think I'm weird,"I said."You shouldn't have to hide things from me I'm your brother,"he said."Your right,here the truth,"I took a deep breath."Mark is a google Irl prototype,Miko~chan left me a package on my door step,and inside the box was Mark,"I said."So Mark's a robot,"he said."Technically,"I said."That's unreal,are you sure he's safe?,"he asked."I think so,"I said."I'm a little worried,I don't trust him,"he said."I've kept an eye on him for the past few days,he wasn't shown any signs of aggressiveness,"I said."When did you meet him,"he asked."Two days ago,"I said."TWO DAYS AGO,how can you trust someone you barely met,"he said."I don't know,"I said."Unless I know he's safe I don't trust him,"he said."Okay I understand,"I said. We both left the room and continued to decorate the tree. After we finished decorating the tree it was about bedtime."Hey sis I'm going to bed,"Takumi said."Yeah me too,"I said."Hey Mark I'm going to bed,"I said. I walked up stairs to my room,and went to sleep. I woke up around 3am to place my gifts under the tree,but I woke up to Mark cuddling me. I carefully got out of bed,walked down stairs and placed my gifts under the tree. I returned to my room. I walked to my desk,pulled out one of the drawers,then pulled out my diary.

Dear Diary,today was weird. I've got good news and bad news. Good news is I get to see my bro for Christmas,and I got decorate a Christmas tree. Bad news is that my brother hates Mark. Well,he doesn't trust him. He wasn't always like this,he was just like me trusting of people. When we were in elementary school he had a friend that he told everything,but when we went to secondary school his friend turned on him. His friend wanted to fit in with the popular kids,so they would talk about Takumi behind his back. One day they decided to mess with Takumi,they called him names,pushed him around,and his so called 'best friend' just stood there and watched. After school my brother confronted his 'best friend'. They argued a lot,then my brother punched him in the face,and from that day forth he became more aware,he didn't have best friends,he just knew a lot of people. A few years later his 'best friend' got what he deserved,the popular kids turned on him and fought him at school. That's all so good night.

Love, Kyu Masaki
