Tairu: *groans quietly as he slowly opens his eyes* Huh? Where am I?
Kotaro: *jolts up from laying down on the couch next to his bed* Tairu! *hugs Tairu tightly* You're awake!
Tairu: *grunts in pain but hugs him back gently* Kotaro? What are you doing here?
Kotaro: *laughs lightly as he pulls away from Tairu* You're in my house.
Tairu: Wait wha- how did I get here?
Kotaro: *frowns* We found you unconscious in an alley. You were in bad shape.
Tairu: Ugh. *rubs his head* My brain feels like it went through an earthquake.
Kotaro: Well you look like you single handedly fought a gang war. *grabs a bottle of pills from the nightstand, dumping a few into his hand before giving them to Tairu* Here, painkillers.
Tairu: *smiles and takes them* Thanks Kota. *gulps them down before laying back on the bed* How long til I get to leave?
Kotaro: This isn't a hospital Tairu, you can leave whenever you want. I just want to make sure you're all healed first.
Tairu: *smiles* Seems like you're my nurse.
Kotaro: *rolls his eyes* Yeah yeah, I'm your nurse. *stands up* I'll go get you a glass of water, you haven't drunken any in a few days. *starts for the door*
Tairu: *looks at his ass* You are one sexy nurse~
Kotaro: *blushes and gives him a half hearted glare* Shut up. *walks out of the room*
Tairu: *chuckles lightly before flinching and groaning in pain, holding his ribs* Damn they sure got me good. *slowly sits up, continuing to hold his torso as he looks around the room* Huh, this must be Kota's room. *picks up a framed picture of the entire Hamato family smiling together at a reunion*
Kotaro: *walks back into the room holding a glass of water* You shouldn't be sitting up right now. They cracked two of your ribs and bruised a lot of other bones somehow.
Tairu: *sighs and falls back on the bed* I hate thugs.
Kotaro: *shakes his head and sets the glass on his nightstand* I know but that's how life is in this world. *sits on the edge of the bed next to him*
Tairu: *reaches over and places a gentle hand on Kotaro's back* At least I have you to go through it with. *smiles warmly at Kotaro*
Kotaro: *smiles and blushes, playfully nudging Tairu* Stop being cheesy, you're supposed to be a gangster.
Tairu: *laughs lightly as he sat up and leaned against Kotaro* Even your dad is cheesy and he's the leader of part of the mafia, don't even use that on me.
Kotaro: *laughs* Yeah yeah, I know. *turns his head and kisses Tairu's cheek* Get some rest, I'll be downstairs if you need me. *stands up and walks out of the room again*
Tairu: *smiles and lays his head on a pillow, closing his eyes and falling asleep*
~later~
-Nari and Kotaro are cooking dinner together in the kitchen-
Nari: *chopping vegetables* So.... when you said you were just going to see a friend you actually meant your 'boyfriend'?
Kotaro: *sighs and stops tossing the salad* Mom, can we not have this conversation right now? He just woke up today.
Nari: What conversation? I'm just asking about it since you never mentioned a boyfriend before.
Kotaro: I didn't want you and dad to overreact.
Nari: When have we ever overreacted?
Kotaro: *scoffs playfully and laughs, continuing to toss the salad* You cried when I asked a girl to the sixth grade dance.
Nari: *huffs and goes hack to chopping vegetables* Having emotions doesn't mean I overreact.
Kotaro: Sure mom, whatever. *puts the bowl of salad in the fridge* All you need to know is that Tairu is a great boyfriend and I'm happy with him. I'll tell dad on my own later, he just thinks he's a friend for now.
Nari: All right dear. *kisses Kotaro's cheek and smiles as she gently rubs his cheek* You and your sister have grown up so fast, I can't keep up sometimes.
Kotaro: *smiles*It's okay mom. We'll slow down so you can catch up with us. *kisses her cheek and walks out of the kitchen, jogging up the stairs and walking into his room* Hey Tairu, time for your pi- *sees Tairu still fast asleep and smiles, whispering* Dork.
Amedea: *peeks into the room and looks at the lovestruck Kotaro* Big brother?
Kotaro: *snaps out of his funk and looks down at Amedea* Oh, hey Amy. *kneels down to her level* What's up?
Amedea: *plays with her thumbs* I need you to fix my music box, I dropped it on my way to school.
Kotaro: *raises an eyebrow* Your music box? The one grandma gave you?
Amedea: *mumbles* Yeah. Her and grandpa are coming over for dinner tonight and I know she'll want to listen to it with me like she always does every time she comes over and if she finds out I broke it then she'll start crying and then I'll st...start- *sniffles*
Kotaro: *concerned* Okay okay, I'll fix it for you. Just please stop crying. You know how much it worries me. *wipes away her tears*
Amedea: *sniffles again, wiping away the rest of her tears and smiles lightly* Thank you Kotaro.
Kotaro: *stands up straight and smiles, holding out his hand to her* You don't thank family for acting like family.
Amedea: *smiles brightly and takes his hand, leading him to her room and showing him the broken music box on her desk*
Kotaro: Wow, you really messed it up.
Amedea: *ashamed* I know. Can you fix it?
Kotaro: *sits down at the desk* I'm Kotaro Hamato, I can fix anything. *starts tinkering with the gears*
-The loud ringing of the doorbell echoes through the mansion-
Amedea: Oh no! Grandma and grandpa are here!
Kotaro: *continues tinkering with the box* Just go downstairs and visit them for a bit, I'll be done with this before dinner is being served.
Amedea: O-okay. Please be quick.*runs out of the room*
Kotaro: *whispers to himself* Can't rush perfection little sister. *starts putting the gears together*
-20 minutes later-
Chizaru: *sitting on the couch next to Amedea* Where is Kotaro, Nari? We haven't seen him since we got here.
Nari: *stops sipping her tea, putting on a confused expression* I'm not sure. I just saw him not even an hour ago. Amy, do you know where your brother is?
Amedea: *begins to get nervous* W-well...he's um...checking on his boyfriend!
Jonathon: *raises an eyebrow* Boyfriend? What is she talking about?
Nari: I don't thi-
Kotaro: *suddenly walks into the living room holding the music box* Hello grandma and grandpa. It's nice to see you again. *leans down and kisses Chizaru's cheek*
Chizaru: *smiles* Hello Kota-dear. *looks at the music box* Why do you have Amy's music box?
Kotaro: *sits next to Amy and smiles* I was just bringing it down for her. *hands it to Amy*
Chizaru: Oh how sweet of you, Kota. Why don't play it Amy?
Amedea: *smiles and turns the key before opening the box, letting a beuatiful tune play throughout the room*
