Dumb Romance [DISCONTINUED]

Part IV

          Toshio's steps were slower than usual as he exited the school ground. Students who were staying late at school witnessed the jet-black haired boy stomped away with bruises on his face and hands. They could only shuddered at the view thinking that he must have fought someone at the school backyard. The usual scowl on his face was enough to prove so. He must be thinking about having a revenge and the torture his rivals like the psychopath he is, right?

Wrong.

Actually, Toshio is far from that. Along his way to the bus station, Toshio kept his eyes on the ground, reflecting for what had happened that day. So much had happened. When he sat at the station bus, everyone seemed to avoid his eye contact. Probably thinking that he is just another aggressive punk. This of course, angered Toshio but he never said a word. Only that his aura that suffocate people around him. When the bus came, he sat at the farthest chair from everyone.

“I'm home...” Toshio exclaimed with his usual deep voice. Rapid footsteps are heard from the kitchen and two little boys came to his view. Both of them have identical face and once their eyes landed on the older boy, they pounced at him to give him a big hug. They both were too small that they could only hug his long legs.

“Uncle Toshio! Welcome home!” Twin 1 said, glancing up at the older boy with gleam in his eyes.

“Can we play video games????” Twin 2 added, hugging Toshio's leg tighter.

“Aki, Aoi! Have dinner first!” A woman voice yelled angrily, coming into the view. Her natural wavy raven hair was put into a high ponytail. She was holding the ladle in her hand as if she was going to beat the two small children. But once her eyes landed on the male student, they widened in shock. “Ah! You got into a fight again!!” She scolded noticing the bruises on his pretty face. “The previous wounds were healing but you got into a fight again???”

“I'm not the one who started it.” Toshio sighed, stroking the twins hair gently. Both of them were also examining Toshio's features.

The woman sigh exasperatedly. “Go shower, we'll talk about this after dinner.”

Y/N stirred the soup in the pot happily. She had long forgotten about the incident that happened day as she is thinking about her dinner. Food is the only thing that can pull her out of the stress. Once done, she served herself the meal on the dining table, eating it alone.

‘Talking about Toshio, should I tell Aunt that I want to transfer school? The girl that was slapped by Toshio transferred school the next day. Probably she couldn't handle the embarrassment or were traumatized by him. Who wouldn't?’ Y/N thought while eating her food. She seemed to feel more comfortable than the afternoon. Probably because she was in her home and Toshio didn't have her address.

‘But I don't like to burden my aunt... She already have her children to think about, including me, the abandoned child. It would be much better if Mom and Dad were here to talk about this.’ Y/N glanced at the empty seats across her. Unfortunately, her parents died in a car crash, killing them instantly. She is the only child in the family.

Y/N felt a buzz on the table made by her phone. She picked it up to see a text message from Mamoru. When Mamoru came to their class, he made sure to have everyone's contact number. Just so that he can know his classmates and contact them if anything. Y/N had always been a loner since she started high school. So, having Mamoru's contact number in her phone felt kinda nice. If it wasn't for today, they might not become close after all. Y/N kinda feel thankful that she greeted Toshio that morning. It is what pull Mamoru and Y/N closer.

“Ughhhh.. what I am thankful about? I'm going to die tomorrow!” Y/N groaned out loud. She continued to eat her food in silence.

“Do you want to add more, Mamoru?” A light brown haired woman offered. She have the same feature as him. Everyone could tell that they are related just by looking at their face. Both of them have beautiful features nonetheless.

“No thanks Mom.” Mamoru replied, finishing his meal. He immediately pick up his dish and went to the kitchen sink. Once he was done with the dishes he walked past through the dining room towards the stairs.

“Mamoru wait, what about your school today?” This time a male voice asked. It was owned by a middle-aged man with blue-black hair. Both him and Mamoru didn't look similar at all.

“I don't have anything to say to you.” Mamoru scowled only giving the older man stinky eyes before stomping his way upstairs.

Mamoru's mom sighed as she collected the dishes on the dining table. “I'm sorry... Mamoru should be warming up to you by now...”

“Don't worry, Aikawa... He is your kid after all, he wouldn't accept me as his father easily...” The man smiled at the pretty woman.

“He is our kid now, Hiroshi..”

The exchange fell deaf to Mamoru's ears as he was already engulf in texting his classmates (and bcs he was upstairs). But Y/N haven't even replied his apology that he had texted out to her. It hurts him but he understand that she needed the time alone.

A/N: I reveal a little bit of Toshio's life (@_@) there should be more of that later in the future chapters.
