It Will End In A Kiss

Cured?

(BLU)

"You'll have to ride with Master Robin to get to and from school next week. I will be busy and I won't be able to drive you around."

That's what Mr.Gilbert told me the Saturday I learned that Robin will be getting a new car. A black Wrangler Jeep this time. I did some research on that ride and I learned that its a big ass car.

But no matter how big the vehicle is, it still can't compete with Robin's overly inflated ego.

Anyways, I asked Mr.Gilbert why he will be busy for a week to drive me to school.

"You said you want answers. Well, I will coordinate with the police precinct that handles the accident that killed your parents. I will need to call and talk to several officers to get the information you need. Once I have coordinated that, you and I can go and talk to the officers involved in investigating your parents' deaths."

"Truly?"

"Truly. So, you'll need to ride with Master Robin next week so I can get us that meeting."

"I can commute. Or you can arrange a driver for me."

"You cannot commute. You are tired from lack of decent sleep. We cannot risk you getting into an accident as you join the rush of people trying to get into public transports. We can get you a driver, true, but we don't have anyone we trust enough to drive you around more than Master Robin. We can maybe ask Devin to drive you but that is not his job and we might get on his way."

"No, I will feel too shameful to ask Mr.Devin to drive me..."

"I know. You don't want to inconvenient people. That's why we asked Master Robin to drive you to school. Its a logical and less hassle choice. You two just need to be nice to each other while in the car."

"Be nice to Robin? I can do that. He is the problem."

"Yes, he is the problem. Also us. Blu, I think you are forgetting that you are our son now. Heir to the Akage fortune and name. All Zane and I want is for you to be safe at all times. Thats what parents wish for their child."

I blinked several times at that part of that conversation as I thought about what Mr.Gilbert was saying. The realization that he was right, I am their son. Adopted son, sure...but still their son. Mr.Akage has publicly acknowledged me as his heir. Their are published articles circulating around about that. In the business world and in documented papers, it is a fact that I am Zane and Gilbert Akage's son.

"We are trying not to be overprotective parents to you and Master Robin. But in this we won't budge. Its almost an hour drive from our home to your school. An hour that we cannot afford not knowing if you two are safe. At least, Master Robin is a reliable driver. You will be safe with him behind the wheel."

So that is why I am here now, at the passenger's seat of Robin's new Wrangler Jeep, being all too quiet as Robin drive us to school.

"By the way, does this break the even slate? I mean, me doing this favor for you?" Robin casually asked when we stopped at a red stoplight.

"No. Because I know you get this car as a bargain for this favor," I said with a snort. Who is he trying to con?

"Oh, did Uncle mentioned that to you? That traitor," Robin chuckled even though his con was exposed.

I sighed. "But sure, thanks for letting me ride with you to school." I said. There, I can report to Mr.Gilbert that I have played nice to Robin.

"Anytime. Just don't sleep on me everytime." Robin said before stirring the wheel as the traffic moved again.
