(Hyugo's grand entrance)

It was now Friday, or the first week we both started to torture each other. Today was Michael's first lesson to teach him proper edicts so he could keep up with his grades.

I packed up my stuff and started to walk out the classroom making sure to skim over Michael to remind him to meet me at our meeting spot. Since we can't just go all spy mood when we need to meet up we decided to have it next to a big tree that shadowed a good portion of the field to rest on. And next to that was a dog park but, I just ignored that and ignore the noisy barks before it gets to my head and I go all soft and run to them and play with them.

I know...I have a huge soft spot for dogs but, I can't touch them or my father will be angered. For some odd reason he doesn't like animals so every time I mention them he lectures me about it and I'm sick of that.

I just chose this spot because they were a perfect distance from the school and I can admire the cute dogs running around having no care in the world.

Sometimes I just want to be them. Seems nice to live stress-free. Have people feed you, clean up after your mess, wait hold on that sounds a lot like what my life is. But still, I don't have anyone cuddling me, loving me, or someone who is actually happy to see me besides my mom.

I am just alone and forever will be.

I felt a tear go down my cheek as I thought back to every day I spent looking up in my room, looking blankly at the wall until I fell asleep. Those lonely nights that all I can hear is my breathing, no warmth, no sign of anything that could be comforting.

"Hey, Hyugo come on let's go." I heard a familiar voice say from behind me as they tugged my shoulder to face him. I had no time to stop crying, no time to hide the fact that I was crying. I was now face to face with a shocked Michael looking at my tears rolling down my face.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there. I will just clean up my face and we could be on our way to my house." I said hoarsely as I took off my glasses and started rubbing at my face. And sniffling my nose but the tears kept coming, I don't know what has gotten into me.

"Hyugo, it's ok. We all have those moments that we just need to let it all out." He said putting a hand on my trembling shoulder.

I slapped his hand way as I got off the bench I was sitting on, "I am not breaking down." I said

"You are, and it's ok." He said with no hint of emotion on his face.

"No, it's not. I am the rich son of the richest man in the whole city. I can't be weak." I said finally seeming to control my tears and put my glasses back on.

"You know everyone shows weakness no matter their statues right? Even I have them." At this point I can hear that Michael is trying his best to comfort me but, I guess he isn't used to it. I wonder why though he has so many younger siblings, why is he having trouble comforting me?

"You do?" I asked as I parried out of my hands.

He nodded, "Yeah, I sometimes think, no not sometimes, all the darn time I think about if we will lose our home and become homeless. Or worst starve with no food to eat." He said rubbing the nap of his neck nervously.

"You think that?" I said looking up at him

"Of course, I am poor after all. I have so many limitations in my life and try my hardest to overcome them with all I have. And I think you should do the same." He said

I stared at him, calming down. I don't know what came over me but, I walked up to him and hugged him tightly. He didn't stop me or push me away as what normal people would do. Not even the servants or even my own father would allow me to hug them.

Instead, he just let me hug him. To be fair he didn't hug me back but, awkwardly patted my back. Oddly enough though I liked this, his contact somehow felt pleasing. I didn't want to let go but of course, I did.

I let go and brushing myself off and cleaned my act up. I cleared my throat and looked at him, "Sorry I was a little bit out of character there."

"Um...It's fine." We both nodded at each other and headed on our way to my house.

As we got closer and closer to my house, I noticed how uncomfortable Michael was feeling.

He looked around at all the huge mansions like a lost puppy in a new environment. I laughed a little to myself at how timid he was. I looked down at my watch and was shocked.

I turned around and grabbed Michael's hand and started to run. As I was running I said to him, "We have to hurry or my servants will be suspicious and start looking for me. And if they see you I am pretty sure that they will tell my father. And who knows what he might do." I looked behind me and saw Michael running along not seeming to get tired by the sudden speed increase.

I, on the other hand, was getting super exhausted and felt like taking a little rest but, we were so close so I pushed it.

~~~~~

Once we got to the front gate of my mansion, I punched in the code, and the gates fully open to welcome me inside.

" Wow feels like I am in a castle," Michael exclaimed.

"I guess...but...it is something...normal," I said taking a huge breath after every word.

He looked me up and down, "Why are you so tired we didn't even run that far." He said looking at me confused.

I glared at him how dare he belittled me, "The real question is how in the world do you are not tired," I said

"I don't know." He shrugged off

We both walk through the garden full of different colored flowers, that my mom had insisted on having in the front yard. Once we passed all that we were finally at the door to the actual house, I turned the knob of the door and pushed it open. I peaked my head inside to make sure the coast is clear and it was.

I looked behind me and said, "Please be quiet and follow me into my room." He nodded and I opened the door just enough so we both would slip in. I waved him over towards the grand staircase but, he was taking so long to get to it. He kept on spinning in place observing the house that had 40 foot high ceilings and polished white marble flooring.

I was getting annoyed by him just looking at the house so I went up to him and pushed on his back towards the stairs and up it. But even still he was looking around in aw. I guess the face he was making gave me some pride in my lifestyle but, this wasn't the time for this. "Hurry up Michael. I don't want to be pushing your fat body all the way to my room." He looked at me with a serious face and I waved him off.

Finally, he started to walk up the stairs leading the way up to stairs. We made it to the top of the stairs and he turned to look at me with wide eyes. Nothing new so I went in front of him and made sure he was following me since I knew the second floor was a literal maze. Everywhere you turned there were doors leading to a different room.

I walked through the left side of the hallways until I got to a door. I looked behind me and Michael was still looking up and down at the decoration of the hallway of weird fruits and vases, once again mom's choices.

"Hurry up this door is my side of the house," I said waving him to where I was standing.

I opened the door and let Michael walk in first but, he stopped right in front of me as I was closing the door. I bumped into Michael's back and just then I noticed how muscular and broad his back was. I quickly removed myself from it before it became weird.

"Hey, idiot can you not stop right here," I complained.

"Hyugo did you say this is your room?" He said totally ignoring what I was saying.

"Yeah so what. Why did you have to stop right he—-." I said moving off of him but was cut off.

"You can't be serious. This isn't a room this is like an apartment by itself." He said in such a happy and excited voice.

"No this is a normal-sized room. But hey how dare you cut me of—." I said but was cut off once again.

"This isn't normal. You have a huge sized bed, a lounging area with a TV that covers more than half the wall, and even a snack bar for god sakes." He said pointing at all the stuff and staring them down.

"Can you please stop interrup——." I tried to say

"Oh my god, there are more rooms. Is this seriously a closet?" He said when he ran in front of my opened closet.

"Yeah it is but calm do—-." I said but to no use

"Is it that necessary to have such a high ceiling in a closet? I wouldn't even consider this thing a closet though. I think this closet is bigger than my entire house." He said looking at me with a slightly less stern face than his usual one.

" Yeah it is, that is why I was shocked you lived ther——."

"Wow, you even have a full bathroom too." He keeps on just doing his own thing.

I was getting really annoyed about Michael always interrupting me. No one would dare to interrupt me only crazy people. I looked at Michael who usually sports a stern face as he looked around the room with such an amazed look. His mouth was in an "o" shape as his eyes couldn't stick to one place for longer than a second. I enjoyed this side of him.

I smiled to myself, "Hey what are you smiling about?" He asked when he turned around and caught me off guard.

"Oh, nothing," I said smirking even more to myself

"Sure doesn't look like it." He said walking up to me and bending down to see me face to face.

I waved him off, "Who cares you must be dreaming. Why would I ever think you looked like a cute puppy? I know I wouldn't," I said slightly pushing him away from me. I wasn't even that short, why must you exaggerate things so much.

"Seriously," He said

I nodded, "Yeah"

"You are such an idiot." He shot at me suddenly.

"N-n-no I'm not," I said wasn't ready to get that blow.

Michael looked me up and down and just rolled his eyes. I pouted at him and angrily stomped my way to the lounging area. How dare he just do that to me? And why am I letting him do these stuff to me.

I kept on thinking about all these stuff until I was wiggled out of it. Literally. I looked up and Micheal was looking down at me from behind the couch I was sitting on. But his hands were on my shoulder. I pulled my head back and saw him upside down. "What do you want?" I glared at him.

"Um I don't know. But I guess you forgot the main purpose of me actually coming here. I also don't have much time. I need to get back home and cook dinner." He said

"Oh, I forgot about that. Why should I care about your family problem?" I said not 100% believing everything I was saying. In fact, I actually wanted to see the girls, not so much the brothers but that's beside the point.

He moved away from me, "That's true you shouldn't but I'm not an emotionless and nonsensical person unlike someone." He said coughing and saying my name within it.

I turned around so I was kneeling against the back of the couch looking over at Michael's back, "Take that back." I said getting furious.

"Why should I. It's true." He said seriously.

"I give up. I can't deal with your rude personality." All the stuff he has been saying is stuff I would normally start to hate him for and ignore him but why did it take this long for me to snap.

"Says the person with an even worst one." He said rolling his eyes at me.

I had enough, "Get out. I am not going to let you walk all over me like that anymore." I said, mad.

"Fine I would love to." He said

He started to walk off and opened. A door and walked in. I was confused but Michael quickly came out of the door that led to my closet. He had a red face as he looked at me and walked up to the right door and before he left my sight he said, "Forget what just happened." He slammed the door behind him and I couldn't help but burst out laughing at that.

Once I calmed down though I looked around the room and saw that I was alone once again. "I am such an idiot. Hyugo why do you have to be stupid and make your pride control your mouth." I could have tried to reason with him but I just don't seem to know-how. Maybe Michael is right even though he can't be 100% right. Right?
