Astonishment

"Who are you?" Shiroyuki asked the guy standing in front of him. The young lad simply smiled at him without saying a word. This guy is obviously taller compared to him. He has golden yellow hair that reached slightly above his shoulders that goes with his emerald green eyes.

"You must be Shiroyuki, I'm Yuji" the blonde said with a smile. The other merely looked at him. Now only one question remains, what is he doing in his house?

"Well then 'Yuji', I never liked strangers entering my house without my permission so I would have to ask you to leave" the silverette stated while gesturing to the door.

"E-eh? Y-you mean, your father didn't tell you?" the blonde questions.

Shiroyuki raised an eyebrow "What do you mean by that?" he asked just as a man descended from the stairs.

"Ah Shiroyuki, it's been a while since I last saw you. Look at you, you've grown so much, well that probably makes sense since I last saw you when you were still four." the man said.

The man's feature has a bit of similarity to Yuji's, except this guy is probably around his 40's and his hair is turning a little dull. Probably his father, he seems to be wearing business attire. White polo with black tie topped with a black blazer, black slacks and black shoes.

"Excuse me sir but, do I know you?" Shiroyuki asked the man.

"Oh right, you couldn't have remembered me, you were still very young when you and your father last visited my company. My name is Haishima Yuichi, and this is my son Yuji." He indicated towards Yuji, who smiled and bowed his head.

"So you're one of father's business partners. That still doesn't answer the question why you're here. If you're looking for my father, he's not around" Shiroyuki emotionlessly said to Yuichi.

"Actually, you're father was the one who sent us here, didn't you know?" Yuji questions Shiroyuki, which brings disbelief to his face.

"We might want to discuss about this at your library, come." Yuichi gestured to the stairs. The silverette nodded his head and walked upstairs, Yuji stayed where he was at as he watched the two go upstairs. 'His father didn't tell him?' he asked himself.

~<>~<>~<>~***

Yuichi opened the door of the library as he led Shiroyuki inside. "Please, take a seat" he pointed towards a chair. Shiroyuki did as he says.

"So my father invited you but he cannot attend to you?" he asked the older man.

Yuichi sighed and sat on the seat across Shiroyuki. "It seems that Sakami really did not inform you" he whispered loud enough for Shiroyuki to hear.

"Pardon?" the young lad asked

"Well you see, your father went to a three year business trip out of the country, and he asked me to stay here until then. He already left this morning. We just arrived this afternoon but you were not around, our luggage went ahead us though." He clarified "I can't believe your father didn't inform you" he added

He grabbed something from his pocket and handed it to Shiroyuki; he took it and merely looked at it.

"That's the letter he sent asking for me to come here." He explained and looked at Shiroyuki's face. "I really don't know why he didn't tell yo-" his words were cut because of what he saw.

"Is there something wrong Haishima-san?" the silverette asked

"Uh no, it's nothing" he kept his eyes on Shiroyuki's face. He was quite surprise that the expression on the young lad didn't change a bit. 'Was he expecting this? He seemed to be unaffected?' his thoughts were stopped when the young lad released a sigh.
