Mikoto stood outside the front door, waiting to be let in. The door opened and he found himself being dragged inside while the door shut loudly behind him.

"Mom, he's here!" Reisi shouted, heading inside to locate his mother.

Mikoto placed his bag down then noticed someone else was in the apartment. They turned around then met Mikoto's gaze.

"Hi~" they said in perfect English.

"Jin...? Uh, excuse me..." he said, heading after Reisi. He spotted him talking to his mother then pulled him off to the side. "Why is Jin here?"

"Huh? Oh, I planned to tell you but things have been piling up and I forgot. I'm sorry." apologized Reisi. "I really wanted him there as well..."

Mikoto nodded, sucking it up. It wasn't like it was the first time Jin had played an annoying third wheel in the past weeks. Reisi hurries his mother along, finally getting her out of her room.

"Alright, is everyone ready to go? Did you bring everything you need?" Reisi asked, specifically looking at Mikoto.

They nodded then followed Reisi and his mother out of the apartment. The three boys head downstairs while Mrs. Munakata locked the door. Jin separated Reisi from Mikoto, trying to spread as much time as he could with him.

"You know, I wish you'd visit more... You seem so busy these days..." Jin muttered, missing carefree Reisi.

"Well, when you haven't done homework properly and not study for tests..." said Reisi with a chuckle. "It won't be easy, but I can pull my grades up to a decent spot."

"What about Sandy...? Are you going to quit? I still have the rehabs." said Jin in a low voice.

Reisi kept silent. He's thought about going to rehab, but could he really be weened off like that? He's never gone a few days without it. Would he be able to stand what they'd have planned? He looked at Mikoto who seemed brighter these days. If Mikoto could see a therapist and start looking much better than when they first met, he could give it a shot. Even if he ended up not really wanting to, he'd be doing it for Mikoto. That alone would keep him going.

"Let's talk about it in private later." said Reisi, finally answering.

The car came to a slow as Mrs. Munakata pulled into a driveway. They all got out and started grabbing their bags from the trunk.

"Miko, Jin. Welcome to Pre Historic times aka my grandparents." said Reisi before walking ahead.

"I heard they're kind." said Jin, looking at Mikoto.

"I heard too." grumbled Mikoto.

Reisi hugged his grandparents then cleared his throat. He pulled Jin over then introduced him. He had Mikoto step forward and Jin step back.

"Grandma, grandpa. This is Mikoto, my lover." he said, intertwining his fingers with Mikoto's.

"My, what happened in between when we last saw you and now?" his grandmother asked with a hearty chuckle.

"Is this another thing you kids do these days?" his grandfather asked.

"Uh, yes...? But also no...? I mean, it's not like you wake up one day and suddenly you're into the same gender... but um, people are coming out..." Reisi explained.

"Ah, times really are changing. I remember when women were stay at home wives." said his grandfather, earning a look from his grandmother.

"Well I'm happy for you, Reisi. It's not everyday you find someone you're willing to spend countless days with." said his grandmother, having Mikoto come over. "Why, you're so handsome! Maybe some of it will rub off on our grandson here."
