Sunday
Sero Point of View
I woke up to knocking at the door. I opened my eyes and looked around. This doesn't look like my dorm room. Or Kiri, Kami or Minas... Where am I?
"Sero? Are you awake?" Oh, right I slept at Iidas because I couldn't go anywhere.
"Yeah. I'm awake." I responded standing up.
"If you want food my brother made breakfast." He said.
"Okay. I'll be down in a bit." I said picking up my bag. Thankfully I was prepared to sleep on the street. So I packed extra clothes. I changed into a Spiderman hoodie and black jeans. After that, I walked downstairs. It took a while to find the kitchen but I did. When I walked in Iida and someone who looked very similar to Iida was sitting at the table.
"You must be Sero! I've heard a lot about you," The person said standing up.
"Sorry that I stayed here without notice. I didn't plan to stay here..." I said looking down.
"It's alright. I heard what happened from Tenya. He hasn't stopped talking about you since he's gotten up," He said sitting back down. Iida the motioned to an extra chair.
"You can sit down and eat."
"Are you sure. I don't want to seem rude."
"It's fine I made plenty," Tensei said. I hesitantly nodded and sat down. Tensei handed me a plate with food on it.
"Thank you," I said smiling.
"So, Sero how did you become friends with Tenya?"
"I would say that we're friends."
"I would agree with that acquaintances at least," Iida said. I nodded.
"Okay, then. Tenya, I would like to talk to you alone. If you don't mind."
"Okay."

3rd person Point of View
"What did you want to talk about," Tenya said.
"Are you sure that you guys are just acquaintances. Because I've talked with some of your friends and you talk about him a lot." Tensei replied.
"It's only because he has no filter or no regards to the rules. He's always late for every class beside lunch. Which he is usually the first one there. I just don't understand why would someone care so little about their academics." Tenya said. His older brother just sighed.
"You will find out one day, Little Brother. One day. Anyways that's all I wanted to talk about."
"Okay, Tensei. I'm going to go see where Sero went." Tenya said leaving.
"One day, Little Brother. One day."
Iida Point of View
I wonder where he wandered off to. I hope he didn't get lost. I began looking for him. Where would he be?
Time Skip
I've looked everywhere beside one place. The garden. I began walking towards the garden. Why would Sero be in the garden? Maybe because there are animals. Or maybe another reason. Soon as I got into the garden. I heard a laugh.
"Did he really?" Who is he talking to?
"Yeah, all the time. It was his favourite thing to do as a kid," Is that, my brother.
"And here I thought Mr Pressie was always a goodie-two-shoes."
"Yeah. Surprisingly hes the rebel of the family." I walked behind the two of them.
"What are you two talking about."
"Just how the perfect role model of a student is actually a rebel child," Sero said.
"What are talking about. I am a perfect role model."
"Sure, the only one here with a tattoo is the perfect role model," Sero said rolling his eyes.
"I was 16," I said looking away.
"I'm literally the biggest delinquent in the entire school and I don't even have a tattoo."
"Fine, you sort of have a point. Did Tensei tell you what it is," I said.
"No, he didn't. What is it."
"Yeah, Tenya tell him what it is," Tensei said smirking. I just glared at him.
"Do you really want to know." Sero just nodded.
"It's a moon on the left shoulder area..."
"Really?! That's so cool!" Sero asked very surprised. All I did was nod and looked down.
"Really? I think it's stupid."
"Wait why haven't I seen or heard of this tattoo before?"
"Because the people who know about the tattoo weren't supposed to tell anyone," I said glaring at Tensei.
"Sorry, Tenya. I could have told him about the one time we went to the haunted house and you hit the scare actor because they scared you," he said smirking. I subconsciously growled.
"Wait really? That's hilarious!"
"And it was so funny at the time. The person jumped out and got punched in the face. I was laughing. But Tenya and the scare actor not so much."
"It was reflexes!"
"Sure it was," Sero said.
"Can we change the subject! Please." Just as Tensei was about to respond Sero got a notification.
"Oh great. Could someone take me to my parents house. My mom texted and told me that my dad is going to burn all of my things when he gets back home."
"Do you want to go now?" Tensei asked. Sero just nodded.
"Uhm.. Tenya can you take him?" I nodded.
"Come on Sero. Let's go." The two of us became walking to my car. We got into my car and sat there in complete silence beside him telling me where to go.
"Why didn't I see your parents?" Sero said finally breaking the silence.
"My fathers on a business trip and my mom is on a vacation. She hardly gets any alone time so she takes week long vacations. And my dad's trips take between a week to three months. So I hardly see him," I said sighing.
"I guess neither of our family's are perfect."
"Yeah, is this your house?" I asked pulling up to a house with red siding. Sero just nodded.
"Do you want me to go with to get your things?" He just nodded again. I parked the car and stepped out. He was standing in front of the car waiting.
"Are you okay?"
"No.. the last time I was in this house I was sleeping in the garage on the ground because my 'dad' didn't want any mistakes in his house." I walked up to him and hugged him. He turned towards me and hugged me back. I can tell he started crying but I didn't say anything. About 5 minutes later he stopped crying and pulled away.
"I'm sorry-"
"Don't ever say you're sorry for showing emotions. Emotions are a wonderful and terrible thing. They can make you feel happy. They can make you feel sad. But they are natural. You can't control them. Now let's get your things before the horrible man that is your father figure comes back."
"O-okay," he said before walking to the door. He knocked two times before the door opened.
"I'm so sorry this is happening. He is such a meany sometimes. Oh, who is this?" She said looking at me.
"I'm Tenya Iida," I said smiling at her.
"Hanta, you didn't tell me you were bringing such a cutie with you! I would have made something for you boys to eat."
"Mom," He said in a pleading way.
"What! I'm telling the truth he's very cute. Oh fiddlesticks! Where are my manners please come in!" She said motioning into the living room, "Would you boys like anything to eat or drink?" She said looking at us. Sero shook his head.
"No thank you Ms."
"Oh please call me Shurui. Anyways Hanta, do you need help packing?"
"No, Iida said he will help me."
"Okay. I put boxes in your room. Also your father has written some mean things on your walls. I apologize for him."
"Thanks, Mom," he said giving her a hug, "Come on Iida." I began following him. He stopped at a black and white door. Well mostly black and white besides the part in red paint that says 'My Biggest Mistakes Room".
"Are you okay?" I said looking at him
"Yeah, I'll be fine," he said before opening the door. I would have said he looked nice but there were words written everywhere in red paint. Most of them were hurtful. Sero tried to take a step, but immediately collapsed in a crying mess.
"Hey, it'll be fine. How about you visit with your mom and I'll pack up your things."
"A-are you s-su-re?" He said looking up at me with teary eyes. I nodded.
"O-okay."
"Do you think you can stand?" I asked. He shook his head.
"I'm going to carry you to the couch," I said before picking him up. I made my way to the living room and sat him on the couch.
"What happened?" His mother asked.
"He saw the words your husband wrote and collapsed crying." She immediately sat next to him.
"I'm so sorry, Sweetheart. I didn't know exactly what he wrote on the walls. If I knew I wouldn't have messaged you. I would have just got the things myself."
"It's f-fine..." I began walking back up to Sero's old room. I'm just going to grab his clothes and a few other things.
TIME SKIP IIDA IS DONE GETTING SERO'S STUFF
I carried the last box into my car.
"Thanks for visiting! Oh, Iida, I would love to talk to you more," she said waving goodbye.
"Bye mom!" He said climbing into my car.
"Bye Mrs. Sero."
"I told you to call me Shurui." I'm still going to call her Mrs. Sero. I got into my car and turned it on. Sero and his mom said goodbye again. Then I began driving away.
"I'm sorry I made you clean out my room," he said. It was sort of mumbled.
"It's fine. It was too emotionally traumatic for you to go into the room."
"I guess you're right. But I still feel terrible for making you do all of that work."
"It's completely fine. I promise. Anyways, how about we go back to the dorms and get your stuff put away."
"Okay." We made it back to the dorms around 8. That means we have an hour to put away his things.
TIME SKIP DONE PUTTING HIS THINGS AWAY.
Half way through putting away his things. We decided that we should watch a Disney movie after we finished putting things away so while he chose the movie I went to my room and changed into my pajamas. Which was a t-shirt and a pair of pajama pants. When I got back into his room he immediately asked,
"Can I see your tattoo?"
"Sure?" I sat facing towards him and rolled up my shirt.

"Wow.. Did it hurt?" He said touching it.
"Not at first. But when he was almost done it started hurting."
"Cool," he continued touching my tattoo, "Also when you said shoulder I thought you meant shoulder." He then touched my shoulder. He stopped and stared at me.
"What movie do you want to watch?"
"Anyone is fine," I said putting back down my shirt.
"Okay," He chose a movie and pressed play. He laid with his feet at the head of the bed and his head at the foot of the bed. About half way through the movie he fell asleep so I tried to move him. But I was successful in moving him but not leaving. Because he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me on to his bed. I gave up trying and layed in his bed with him. I soon fell asleep because of the warmth of another person.
