At Home

I was so tired today and Mom was in the kitchen cooking dinner, i didn't want to bother her so i just went up to my room and took a hot bath while in the bath. I curled my self up in the bathtub and kept thinking about Mikoto, what am i doing why am i thinking about him? Its not like i care about him or something.

"I just hope he found a place to stay" i mumbled ti myself after a few minutes its almost time for dinner. I came out of the tub and dryed my hair up and went downstairs Mom was putting the food on the table "oh, had a nice bath Arcadia?" She ask me i just nod at her and sat on the table "your Father will be home any minute now, so we can eat together. And i heard his bringing a new video game for you~" she winked at me and my eyes widen with excitement.

"Really Mom!? What kind of game is it?! Is it the one u saw in the store? Or is it the one from the top gamers collection?!" I was so excited i was going crazy for it. "You'll see" Mom said while finishing plating the food.

While she does that i on the other hand was so busy thinking what kind of video game Dad is bringing home, while deep in thought i heard the door opened and i ran to the door i was panting.

"Tadaima!" Dad said exhausted from work "welcome back Dad!" I hugged him while we sat on the table Dad was taking something out of his bag. "I was thinking of giving this for your birthday, but i soon noticed that your birthday was still to far so... i'm giving this to you cause, i know you've been saving your money for this" i quickly opened it and Oh my gosh! "Ah! Its ZHIEND's album!" I quickly hugged Dad "thank you Daddy thank you Daddy thank you thank you thank you! Your the best Dad ever!" I really appreciate it! And besides its a complete set!. "It has everything! A complete set and it comes with posters in it too!" I looked at every detail.

"Alright,alright that's enough let's eat before dinner gets cold" Mom said "hmmm... what did you cook honey? It smells delicious as always" Dad really appreciates Mom's cooking Mom giggled at his comments. "Both of your favourites" and then we eat argh... i was so hungry Mom's cooking is so delicious.

After dinner i thanked Mom and Dad for the album and a great meal that we had, i don't have anything to do today so i'll just watch ZHIEND's album. While going uo stairs i opened the door and it doesn't feel right it feels like cold and something creepy it was dark, and i'm starting to get scared. All of a sudden while i was backing up the door i coukd feel cold hands wrap around my waist. "Huh?!"  While i was about to scream it covered my mouth to prevent me from calling for help. Who is this?! A burglar?! Fear stared to kick in, and it leaned closer to my ear "hey, Arcadia~" huh? A familiar voice.

"I'm going to let go, don't scream ok?" I just nod and he slowly let me go i turned on the lights and saw Mikoto!? "Mikoto?! What are you doing here?! And h-how did you get in?!" Lots if questions popped inside my head.

"What are you so up tight about? I haven't found a place to settle in, so i decided to crash at your place" he said while looking around my room i sighed " maybe its best you go home and i'm sure your family is worried about you so..." he looked at me frowning " i already told you why i can't go home right?" Just what is he thinking now? First he scared me to death and wants to sleep over in my room?! Argh... i never hear the end of it "then what about your mom, she might be worried about you" i said "she's in abroad going to a conference or something" "and your dad?" "Overseas" wow... is he's parents that busy to know that his brothers are bullying him?.

He looked at my hand i was carrying the ZHIEND album and he took in from me "wow!!! Is this that band that you liked?!" Is he really that clueless about ZHIEND? "Y-yeah" i just stared at him and he returned the album.
