Ready, Set.

Family

I woudn't say practice went well, but all i would say is that im glad it's over. Yama and I laid our bare backs against the gym floor. 

"I have never been so hot  in spring."  Yama complained, i let out  a louder  breath in response, unable  to bring  any thoughts  fast enough to respond. We laid like this until Lev casted a shadow over us, 

"It's time  to lock up." He said before  holding down a hand to each of us. I took his hand and pulled myself up, Yama taking his time. 

"Come on Yama, im sure my mom made food." This got him moving. 

"Soka said she can give us a ride." Yama said as he looked at his phone, 

"She's a keeper." I teased. 

"Have you heard from Kenma yet?" He asked as we gathered  our bags,  

"No, but he said they were going out so I'm assuming he's  not really just on his phone  the  whole time." I shrugged and headed out behind  Yama.

Kenma left the sound to his  video games on for the entire car ride, knowing his mother didnt mind and his father wasn't welcome to say anything  about it. The event was about an hours drive out of the city,  and  he didn't care  to talk much. 

"Kenny,  can you look in  my purse for an advil, i'm getting quite the headache." His mother waved a hand into the backseat to make sure she got his attention. 

"Of course, one or two?" He asked

"Two," She looked back with a quick smile before returning her eyes to the road. She refused to let his father drive and Kenma had loved the look on his face. 

"Here," Kenma handed her two pills and set her purse back on the seat next to him, 

"Kaguya, you know too many  of those will ruin your liver.." His father spoke up, 

"Oh Raikou, if i wanted to hear your advice for everything i did I wouldn't have left you." Sunned. Kenma held back his chuckle as his father grumbled in the front seat, 

"I was just educating." He added to his grumbling, 

"Well i do have two of my own degrees, if i am interested in a third i'll let you know." She tapped his arm so he didn't feel entirely hated by her. Kenma hated how his parents acted around each other, his father pining after what he lost, but refusing to change. His mother on the other hand finally able to be herself, but not being able to let him go entirely. 

Their relationship is the only reason the three of them have to attend this thing together, no one wants to tell my fathers family that they've split up, so we have to pretend around them, thankfully he is the only child and only grandchild so we aren't too secretive. No cousins to follow me on social media and ruin anything, not that i have very much going on online anyway. 

They finally pulled into the event center and Kenma nearly rolled his eyes at how gaudy the entire place was, very obviously put together by old women with too much money on their hands. Everything had thick white and gold  accents and there  was literally a sculpture of his father in the entry way, good ol'  Dr. Raikou Kozume carved from some too expensive stone. 

"Your mother needs a  leash, or atleast a responsible accountant."  Kaguya exhaled and they all got out of the  vehicle, his father quickly moving away  from the  vehicle, so  no one would see he had been passenger, 

"How long are  we staying?" Kenma asked, his mother rubbed his arm through the expensive suit, 

"As long as we have to before we both are about  to explode, im sure Granny Kozume will make quick work of us." She laughed  into his hair before  wrapping her arm in his to walk in together.
