two.

The person seemed more motherly than homicidal, and after he bought you another one of the cinnamon buns, you didn't hesitate to thank him. You later learned was named Makoto, and spiking a conversation with him was easier than you thought since you two decided to sit together.

Well, more like you sat alone, and he decided to join you on his own.

At least he was nice and not annoying.

You learned that he attended the high school you would soon be going to, and you two hit it off. Sort of.

"Do you by any chance know anyone named Rei...?"

"Rei Ryūgazaki? Obsessed with everything being beautiful?" His expression appeared dumbfounded at first until a soft smile fell upon his face.

You only grinned in acknowledgement, and sighed.

He was known for he reputation for being obsessed with beauty...

"How do you know him?" Makoto asked as he took another sip of his drink- something that must've been awfully hot since he sometimes would make a face whenever he took a sip.

You sighed again before answering, since you weren't exactly proud to call him your brother.

"He's a step sibling of mine,"

"Really?! It's a small world huh? T-Then what are you doing way out here? I know where Rei lives, and it's about two towns over..."

"That's a good question. What am I doing here? I'm pretty sure Rei is worried sick about me right now. Let's just say I got lost."

You got up and began packing your belongings. Your cell phone had died moments ago, so you had no way of checking on Rei.

"Umm, Makoto why are you out here? Surely there are closer high schools in this area if you live here- not that it's any of my business," you chuckled, attempting to keep the idle talk going.

"I don't live here..." he said while getting up as well. He left a tip on the table. "I just help my grandparents out here every weekend, if I'm free."

"Well thanks for buying another on of those things... and sorry I got it on your shirt..."

"No problem," he laughed softly as his face turned into a natural crimson. It suited his personality really well, surprisingly.

He paused as if waiting for something. You eventually caught on.

"Oh, my name is Y/N!"

"Okay, thanks. No problem Y/N."

"I guess I'll see you in school-"

"I've been looking for you!" An all to familiar voice boomed.

You turned around and saw Rei in the doorway. He was soaked in rain.

He suddenly grabbed your arm and began to tug your arm towards the...

"Bye Makoto!" You yelled before leaving.

"Don't talk to my sister again, Makoto!" Rei yelled back.

It was going to be a long ride home.

Chapters will probably be short, but that means there will be a LOT.
