Chapter 2

"Thanks for the food, it was delicious!" Shōyō said happily after eating lunch.

He went up to his room to grab his volleyball and ran downstairs, he went through the backdoor leading to the backyard. The sun was shining right on him as he stepped out and it was way too hot for his liking.

He went near the tree that was beside a wall. The tree caused shade which made it better. He started throwing the ball to the wall and receiving it before spiking it. Continuing to do so until he was tired and the sun wasn't directly above him.

"Hey Shōyō, we're going out for some ice cream! Mat will pay for us, you wanna come?!" a kid screamed from the door.

"Yeah, sure! Just give me 15 minutes, I need to take a quick shower! Thanks Lanky!"

The kids name wasn't actually Lanky, no, it was just Shōyō that called him that. He was the same age as Shōyō and began liking volleyball way before him. His name is Sō Inuoka. Brown hair and eyes. Shōyō would probably miss him the most.

After taking a shower, Shōyō met up with the others in the living room and they headed out with Mat. On the way to the small convenience store they were talking.

"Hey Shōyō, what High School did you choose? You never told me!" Inuoka asked.

"Oh, it's nothing really... but I'm still not planning on telling ya! It's a surprise Lanky!"

"Awe, com'on man! I'm your bro, you're supposed to tell me!"

"Nah, not this time. What about you?"

"Me? If you ain't gonna tell me then I ain't tell ya nothing!!" Inuoka said with a grin making them both break out in laughter.

"Yo guys, hurry up or else I'm not buying you any ice cream!"

"Fine, fine! I want strawberry flavour!"

"I want choco!!"

The rest of the day was spent like that, laughing and running around, making fun of each other and shoving ice cream in each others faces. Shōyō was almost hesitant on his decision but he wasn't one to back away from something like that. It was a shame, really... leaving his 'family' behind. After all, without them he would've lived with his façade plastered on him.

But it's not like they'd care, they would know where he was and that he was safe, they'd know that he was pursuing his dream, so they'd understand, right? Right.

"We're home!!"

"Welcome back guys! How was it?" Rosanne, another adult in the household, asked with a smile painted on her face. Middle aged, short black hair and slightly tanned skin tone.

"It was great! We had great fun..." the adults kept talking as Shōyō slid through easily and sipped into his room quietly. Locking the door and turning around finding Alec on his bed fast asleep. Shōyō sighed. Not again...

Alec used to come when he was feeling bad or had a bad feeling, Shōyō was saddened by the fact that he wouldn't be there for him when he would leave. Maybe leaving his phone number was a good idea? Shōyō shook his head, that might be a terrible idea.

He picked Alec up, studying his features, short black hair freckles dusting his cheeks and nose. Shōyō smiled, those freckled looked so cute. Almost like... stars.

Unlocking the door and opening it, Shōyō headed to Alec and another kids shared room. He put him down on his bed gently and tucked him under the sheets. Quietly he tip toed out of the room and walked across the top floor and into his room again.
