Strange (REVISING)

Chapter 1, Wandering Eyes

[5:42pm]
[3rd]
[Jabberwalk beach]

Kazuichi laid there on the warm sand, his jumper halfway zipped down, exposing his white undershirt. He tugged on the brim of his beanie, the sun was too bright, and his energy too low.
Ibuki broke her speakers and begged Kazuichi to fix them. She somehow blew them out? Probably because of the volume she uses them at.. He deserved a break, but this beautiful silence was  interrupted by a familiar voice.
Kazuichi perked up at the sound of a feminine voice. Sonia! He thought to himself.
He sat up and pulled his beanie back from his eyes. His goofy grin fell. And Gundham. He rolled his eyes.
Kazuichi got back up to his feet and dusted the sand that had stuck to his jumpsuit.
He forced a scoff and began heading back to his cottage. He spared one last glance at the couple. Gundham had his eyes deadset on Kazuichi. He couldn't tell if the stare was threatening or longing. There was something off about Gundhams mannerisms.
Kazuichi snapped his head back in front of himself, but Gundhams image remained for a second longer.

Kazuichi found himself at his cottage door, ready to change into some sweatpants and a t-shirt, ready to pass out.

One, two, no three, hours past until Kazuichi finally woke, but not willingly.
A short string of forceful knocks stirred Kazuichi awake. He lifted himself up, and out of bed.
He begrudgingly opened the door, sleep still stuck in his eyes.
Before he had a chance to speak he was cut off.

Gundham cleared his throat. "Mortal Byakuya ordered me to fetch you," he spoke, not as powerful as usual. Not as insulting. Not normal.
Kazuichi paused to take in information. What time was it? Why does Byakuya need him? Why is.. why is Gundham Tanaka at his doorstep?
Kazuichi looked Gundham up and down.

"Uh huh.. why?" He looked and definitely sounded annoyed, Gundham noticed.

Gundham groaned softly. He wanted this to be quick. "Dinner. Nearly everyone has eaten already."

"That's it?"

"Yes."

"..I'll be right over." Kazuichi sighed in 'defeat'. Gundham turned to leave. As he was walking away Kazuichi called out, "yo, try and keep your eyes from wandering. Fucking creep." Kazuichi did not wait for Gundhams reaction and simply shut his door.
Putting on some suitable clothes would be ideal before exiting his house.

But suitable clothes aren't necessary. All Kazuichi did was throw on a jacket to protect himself from the coastal winds.
Kazuichi began walking to the restaurant.
He heard the sound of a door opening, fast footsteps approaching him, and giggling.
Ibuki trapped Kazuichi in a hug from behind.

"Ibuki wants to thank her favorite cousin for fixing her speakers!" Ibuki spoke enthusiastically.
Kazuichi pulled Ibuki off himself. Ibuki only smiled in response.
Sibling bonds are something else.

"Why do you do this? Every time?" He asked. He was just relieved Ibuki didn't jump on him this time..
Ibuki didn't answer. She didn't need to.

"Ibuki's gonna walk with you, alright?"
Kazuichi began walking once again, and Ibuki skipped after.

"Do I have a choice?"

"Nope!"
