Under the Same Sky.

ー Part 3.

After Sota and his new friends leave, they decided to go for food delivery instead of going to the fastfood restaurant. Makoto, who is always into technology is the one who ordered online.

"We will only treat Likiya-san's team and not the others." Hokuto said while smiling playfully. The losing team started to collect the payments of the ones who did not play.

"What did you order?" He asked Itsuki while counting the money on his hands.

"Just burger and cola." He took his wallet from his pocket and added some money on his hand. He didn't bother to ask Itsuki about his payment for the food and drinks.

"Here's my payment." Itsuki said but he shook his head and smiled.

"I'll treat you this time." He chuckled and then, he went back to Kazuma and Makoto to add up all the money they got.

When he looked around, he saw Itsuki already talking to others. He smiled widely that he is already friends with them. The deliveryman arrived shortly. They immediately approached the deliveryman and got their orders, paying for it as well.

Time flies fast and it is almost sunset. Riku reminded him that he needs to go home early. Early means before six and it is almost six already. He grabbed his bag and waved goodbye to them.

"Yabai. I'll go now! Jaa na!" He smiled widely while running. His house is only a few minutes walk from the park but since his brothers are expecting him to go home early, he needs to run already.

The usual ten minutes of walk because three minutes of run. He quickly went inside home and took his shoes off before running to the kitchen to hug his older brother.

"Ryota-nii!" He chuckled lightly and snuggled him as Ryota is currently washing the ingredients he will use for the dinner.

"Hokuto! Take a shower first! You stinks again!" He snuggled more to him and rubbed his sweating head against Ryota's shirt.

"I have a new classmate. His name is Itsuki." Ryota suddenly stopped from moving when he heard that. He noticed this, so he looked at his brother.

"What is his full name?" Ryota asked and continued on washing the vegetables.

"Fujiwara Itsuki. Do you know him?" He asked but Ryota shook his head. He turned his head and smiled at him.

"I just heard his name from one of my classmates. So, he is the transfer student that they are talking about." He finally released Ryota from his hug and nodded.

"But he is not talkative, Ryota-nii. Maybe I can make him talk more." He opened the fridge and got a bottled water. He twisted the cap and drank some.

"Maybe you should invite him here sometimes. He is your friend, desho? You already brought your friends here and since he is a new one, you will be able to know him more." Ryota suggested and he agreed with it.

"I'll invite him next time. I'll invite the others, too. It's been a while since they went here. I will take a shower for now, Ryota-nii." He smiled and left the bottled water on the table to go to his room.

In this family, the three of them only have a mother. They don't have a father. Their foster mother who became their legal mother after some months is single and doesn't want to get married but want to have children. Their mother adopted Ryota first and then, him and the last one is Sota. Their mother adopted him when he was four but their mother did not hide the truth that they are all adopted.

For them, it is not important if they are adopted or not. The important thing for them is they have a family that they can all home. He is thankful that he has a family. Since then, he didn't bother to look for his biological parents. He is already contented with his family he has now.

"Ryota-nii! Hoku-nii! Okaa-san is here already!" Sota called for them and since he is still taking a shower, he barely heard Sota.

"Okaerinasai!" Ryota quickly went to the living room to greet their mother but his smile disappeared when he saw their mother with a man.

"Okaa-san, what is this?" Ryota asked and Sota immediately went to his side and hid behind him.

"Ryota, Sota, meet your future father." Their mother said and that's when Hokuto arrived. He just finished taking a shower and now, he heard the commotion at the living room.

"Okaa-san, okaeri--" He suddenly stopped from drying his hair when he saw the man besides their mother.

-

Kazuma arrived at the room and saw Hokuto already there but just silent while sitting on his desk.

"Ohayou." He greeted him but he just received a nod from him. He put down his bag at the side and approached him.

"Doushitano?" He asked and Hokuto furrowed his brows before heaving a deep sigh.

"Okaa-san brought a man at home last night." His eyes widened with what Hokuto said. All of them know that Hokuto's mother doesn't have any plan on having a boyfriend or getting married.

"Why? Didn't she tell everyone that she doesn't want to have a boyfriend or get married?" He said and he took his chair and sat besides Hokuto. When he saw Takahide and Shogo arriving, he gestured for them to come quick.

"What happened?" Takahide mouthed as they gathered around Hokuto. The last one to arrive is Makoto and Itsuki.

"When she came home last night from other country, we saw her with the man. She said that she met him while she is working in a hotel." Hokuto started to tell what happened last night. He can't even forget how mad his Ryota-nii.

"She even told that it is love at first sight." Hokuto rolled his eyes and crossed his arms on his chest.

"And then? I'm sure Ryota-san is mad about it." Makoto said and Hokuto nodded about it.

"After the dinner last night, Okaa-san talked to him but they ended up fighting. The man tried to explain his side but Ryota-nii didn't let him explain because Okaa-san promised to us that she will never get married. She just broke her promise to us." He just patted his shoulder but Itsuki suddenly spoke.

"Love will come at an unexpected moment." Itsuki said before going back to his desk. Hokuto just stared at him while Makoto looked at Kazuma secretly.
