  Kiji's P.O.V

 I woke up groggy and in a daze until everything from last night came flooding back in. I sighed and ran my hand through my raven colored locks and turned towards the body next to me. I faintly traced the lovebites on his back, pleased with my work. I was soon met with a pair of dark eyes staring back at me. "Are you going to tell me what's going on, now?"

"It's just family buisness" I replied. He just hummed in response and kissed my shoulders. Takeru knew me long enough to not press me about these things. Our relationship was strictly sexual. Nothing more, nothing less. Before it could get any further my phone rang. I didn't need to check the caller ID to know who it was. "Where the hell have you been?!", my brother's voice screeched thorugh the phone. 

"I was at Take-" I was immediately cut off by Jiho's stern voice. "Do you know how worried mom and dad were you little shit? I had to call Naoki to find you." "I'm sorry...I just didn't know how to react." I was met with a long pause met with a heavy sigh. My brother's voice softend as he spoke: "Kiji, I know this is hard on you but this isn't how you should have handled the situation." "You know you sound like a grandpa when you talk like that", I said with a hint of a smile. He was right and I hated it.

By the time I got off the phone, Takeru had made his way to the shower. So, I left a note thanking him for last night promising to explain this mess of a situation. I wasn't ready to face my parents yet so I instead called Naoki to meet up at our usual spot by the beach. I ended up arriving a little earlier than expected and just let the soft breeze nip at my skin. 

"Are you just going to dramatically sit there and  overlook the sea?" 

I smiled and offered Naoki a smoke as he crouched down beside me. We sat in silence until he finally decided to speak up . "Are you really leaving?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "No, I've decided not to." Naoki nonchantly reached over and pinched me. I yelped in suprise and rubbed to soothe the aching skin. 

"You idiot. I'm not letting you ruin your opportunity of success just because you're physically incapable of making other friends." I rolled my pursed my lips in a childish manner. " I have other friends you know." I immediately tried to change the subject and replied back, "Anyway why are you in a such a hurry to get rid of me huh?" "Well, your mother promised me your Xbox if I convinced you to go to America."

A few weeks had passed and I was going through the motions while my parents happily discussed the items that I would need for our long trip to America. It hadn't hit me yet that soon I would be leaving the only home I ever knew... Before I knew it, the day I had been dreading for so long had finally come. My dad was taking our bags to baggage aisle while our mom cried as they both escorted us to  our gate. We exchanged a few words but frankly all I remember was my mom's salty tears dripping onto my shirt.

"Kiji, I'm scared."

That's when it hit me that my parents had just dumped two kids on me while I was still trying to figure this shit out myself. I turned to Suga and gave him a reassuring smile. "Everything's gonna be ok. I got you." The truth was I didn't know what the hell I was going to do but all I knew was that I had to step it up. The whole flight was draining and the only thing I heard was the flight attendant: We thank you for flying with Emirates and hope you've enjoyed the flight with us. Thank you and good evening.

Once we made it out, we were met with a woman with a smile like the Chesire cat. Although it was meant to come off as friendly, it just seemed somewhat fake. "Hello, My name is Miss Huang. I know it's been a very long flight for you boys and once you get home you can rest properly. The whole ride to the boarding home was riddled with questions. Questions I didn't want to answer. Instead I chose to take in the city and the scenery

Somehow we made it through traffic and reached the boarding house. Right off the bat I noticed the different faces of people from all over the world. It was different but comforting at the same time. Atleast I wouldn't be a freak here.

Miss Huang handed our keys to our dorm as we followed her down the long corridors. I took a deep breath and twisted the doorknob open. Laying before me on a bed was a vibrant green haired boy. This was definately not what I expected. "Oh, fresh meat. Thank god cause the other guy was such a drag." He grabbed a cancer stick and brought it to his lips. "Anyway, what's your name?" "Ishihara Kiji", I replied cautiously. "Well, Kiji you're gonna have one helluva time in America", he said with a ghost of a smile.
