Out Of Sight

Homecoming

Hey guys and welcome back to Out Of Sight! I must be honest and tell you that I forgot I also published this on Wattpad... chapter three will be up in a few days, though! Hope that's enough of an apology ^.^

Anyway, onto the story!

~'0'~

Matsukaze Tenma stares out of the window of the car as the world passes by in a blur. It's a little cold for March, but he doesn't particularly care about that.

The truck with their possessions should already be at their new house by now, while the father son duo arrive later. The brunet almost sighs, but he's feeling too stressed to do so. His stomach is heavy and it's hard to swallow, but beneath that there's the slightest tremor of excitement in his body that makes it impossible for him to sit still.

''Excited?'' asks Kichirou when the younger brunet starts tapping a soundless rhythm on his leg. Tenma gives a start and then smiles sheepishly, and his father chuckles. ''I'm not judging you, buddy, I'm just amazed that you've managed to stay so calm.''

His son grins. ''Experience, Tou-san,'' he chirps innocently. ''I mean, I've had to deal with you for three years, so I had to learn!''

His father shakes his head. ''Brat.''

''You know it.''

It doesn't take long for the first houses to start to appear and soon after that, they're riding through the busy streets of Tokyo. Tenma clenches his seat almost unconsciously and then breathes out slowly. Kichirou shoots him a quick glance but says nothing.

When the streets start to become familiar to the brunet, he doesn't know whether to take it all in or curl up in his seat and hide away from the rest of the world.

Suddenly his father places a hand over his son's, and while it only lasts there for a few seconds before retreating to the steering wheel, the teen still gives him a smile. ''You'll be fine, buddy,'' says Kichirou softly. ''I know you will be.''

Tenma swallows. ''Thanks, Tou-san...''

''Anytime, son.'' Then the man grins. ''But let's drop that for now! We're here!''

The brunet automatically looks out of the window at the building the car is parked in front of. It's not very big, just a two story house like any other in the street – Tenma's a little less familiar with this part of Inazuma Town – but the teen has to admit that it doesn't look all that bad.

''Come on,'' says his father, opening the door of the car, ''you should see the inside. I'm sure you'll like it.''

The teenager exits the car as well and follows his father to the front door. The man quickly opens it and leads them inside and to what seems to be a connected living and dining room.

It's not anything special. The wooden floors are made of dark mahogany and the lower half of the walls are covered in the same wood, while the upper half is a creamy shade of white. It's filled with boxes and there's no furniture yet, but something gives it a very 'homey' feeling.

''It's... it's nice,'' says Tenma, turning around to inspect every side of the room. It's, admittedly, small, but since he's only going to be living here with his dad and his dog, it seems strangely appropriate.

Kichirou grins. ''Thought you'd like it.'' Then he quickly proceeds to lead his son around, until they reach the last door on the second floor. ''And here's your room!''

He pushes the door open and the two step inside. Tenma tilts his head at the sight of it. It's obviously still empty, but he's already awed by it. It's quite big, but that's not surprising since there aren't a lot of rooms on the second floor. The walls are white and the brunet is already making plans to change that, but the thing that really catches his attention are the windows.
