Chapter 4: Back home
"Im home" said Hiroki once he arrived from the bus
He then looked around to see who else was home but saw no one around so he instead cooked food for when they got home and left a note saying he'd go out
A few hours later Kaede got home from work and saw the note and got an annoyed expression knowing her fun was over for a while but still glad nonetheless
She than sat and ate the food and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the food,
'He cooked this!?' She tought, the food was very good and the fact her son didn't know how to cook before camp just made the fact even stranger
She then heard the door open and it was Kanako who had back from hanging out with her friends
"Hey mom I'm home" she said tiredly "hi Kanako how did it go? Oh! Hiroki stubbed earlier " to the news Kanako had a mixture of emotions she was glad he came back but also displeased that she would have a harder time meeting up with Tyson
"Well that's nice isn't it?" She said half heartedly knowing what this meant "well it makes it a little more difficult to meet with 'him' but it's good nonetheless to have him back. Why don't you come and eat lunch with me? Hiroki cooked it" said Kaede
" Hiroki?" Kanako said amused by the fact, Hiroki was her cute and clumsy little brother she didn't belive he could cook " well I'll give a try nonetheless " she said preparing for something mediocre, as she tried the food she was shocked that the food was actually good
"Mom you said Hiroki cooked this?" She said with disbelief in her tone " yea I was also surprised at first" said kaede with a chuckle
Hiroki was on his was to the park were he saw some familiar faces his childhood friends tsuna and kazuo, he saw them playing football so he taught he'd surprise them
" go far, go far" yelled kazuo ready to throw an absolute dime " dude if i go any further your gonna miss tho.." tsuna yelled in a skeptical tone
" yea he will he ain't no QB he's butt" said a familiar voice to the 2 teens, it had been Hiroki but he looked different to what they remembered " Hiroki?!?!" Yelled Tsuna&Kazuo both of their voices laced with confusion then as their shock passed they ran and tacked him while punching him playfully " where have you been man?? you were gone all summer"
"Wait no one told yall?" Said Hiroki confused that they didn't know anything "told us what"
Said both boys confused " I went to the basketball camp did my family not tell you?" Oh we tried to visit your house but no one opened the door we tought you guys we on vacation "
"Oh? Well I'll ask later then" said Hiroki slightly confused but then asked " yall wanna run routes?" To which the boys nodded and got in position
" go far " with that he threw a perfect dime to kazuo who mossed tsuna " man this ain't fair it was the pass " said tsuna trying to protecy himself for the jokes he was gonna get later
A while after they were all resting in a bench full of sweat after a while of rest they started again this time without shirts, that's when they noticed the change in Hiroki's body.
Hiroki was standing at 6'4 190 pounds he had always had an athletic body type but now it was a lean muscular and aesthetic body type making him look like he was sculpted along with his longer hair and sharp jawline he was now someone who you could confuse for a teen model or a
A little while more and it was getting dark out so they went their separate ways home
When Hiroki arrived to his house he opened the door with a key he brung with him and made his way to his room to grab clean clothes
When he was about to go shower he saw his Kanako getting out
"Hey kan-" before he could finish he got punched and heard a scream " who are you and what are you doing in my house?!" This was his sister. She then looked down to see the boy bleeding from his lip in the ground
Upon seeing him closer Kanako realized it was her little brother! " OMG Hiroki I'm so sorry" she said at the boy who was in the ground " it's ok don't worry sorry for scaring you" he said while wiping the blood of his lip with his shirt " no! No it's not come here let me check your lip" at this Hiroki only sighed know how kind his sister was to him
" Kanako I said it fine it's probably just busted a little I'll be ok" Kanako only gave a hug to him " I missed you Hiroki " she said, of
course it was just a lie. She had barely tought about him since her summer 'fun' began
"I missed you too sis where's mom tho?" At this Kanako had a sad face knowing her mom was with his bully and he didnt even know, of course it had to stay like that they couldn't afford to reveal what was happening to anyone
But she didn't say that instead she just told him "she had overtime today don't worry just get some rest" Hiroki just simply nodded know his mom had been 'working' hard this past few months she was barely home anymore
"Oh but wait I have a question" Kanako who was getting up asked "what is it" with a curious voice "where were yall this summer? My friends told me they tried to come by and ask about me but no one was home" said Hiroki with a even more curious tone
Kanako was frozen hearing the question. She knew they only spent time with the foreigner all summer long but she had to lie and quickly so he wouldn't suspect anything " oh we had gone to Kyoto to check universities for next year and did some tourism while we were at it you know?" Hiroki just tought about it but was convinced they wouldn't lie about that, " yea did you have fun? How was it?" Kanako just smiled " yea I actually did" Hiroki smiled hearing this and hugged her while saying "well I'm glad for you sis it's good to know your doing well" at this Kanako felt a pang of guilt for lying to him and doing those stuff behind his back but was also caught aback finally acknowledging his change " dang Hiroki you grew I'm barely up to you shoulder chest now" he just chuckled "well I did finally hit puberty so I'll continue growing"
"Oh and do you want to go to the movies with me and this friend I met tomorrow?" Asked Hiroki "sure I don't mind " said Kanako
After everything was done Hiroki took a shower and went to sleep
