He watches as he talks to his father's grave. He caught what he said and lightly blushed. Then he gently clapped his hands together and pray to his father. That he was miss on earth and that he hope he was resting well in heaven. But as he was praying to his father. Without knowing until it was to late. Tears were rolling down his face. He was trying to make them stop, but he couldn't. "I-I know I'll never be-be go-good as you. but-but I promise to do my best to make the master happy. You so don't have to worry and re-rest will in heaven. Just-just know I miss you." he tried to speak calmly, but his voice kept cracking with sadness.

Akihiko prayed a little longer before getting up and looking at the other smiling. But that smile faded as he saw the boy crying. He walked over to him and slightly hugged him to calm him down. Akihiko mumbled soothing words in his ears caressing his head softly. He was very happy at the words of the slightly younger boy and hugged him a bit tighter.

He was whimpering and sniffling, trying to calm himself down. Trying not to cry in his master's presence. But he still the remembers the day he went to the hospital, talking to his dad. Watching him close his eyes and went flat. So he watched his father die before his eyes. Just then he felt warm arms wrapped around him. They felt liek his father's and for a second. He thought it was him. Until he looked up and saw that it was Akihiko. Making him blush more. When he hugged him tighter. He sniffled a few more time and calms down. "I-I'm sorry, sir." he said in a whisper. "T-Thank you."

"It's ok. Do you feel better?" He said pulling lightly away but still holding his arms. Smiling softly at him I kiss his forehead soothingly.

His face turned more red when he kissed him on his forehead. Again his heart was beating fast. "I-I'm better now." he tells him with a small smile on his face. His eyes were red and puffy from all the tears falling from his eyes. "I-I'll try to control my emotion better. I-I should the one comforting you. Not the other way around." he said.

Akihiko chuckled softly thinking that the blush perfectly fit Takahiro. "It's ok to let your sadness out. Actually your the second person who ever saw me cry. I'm glad you'll comfort me then." He says smiling at him kindly and letting go of him even if he didn't want to really.

"Well...yeah. I mean you are my master. My-My father told me before he passed away was to make sure that you were happy." he tells him in a shy tone. Just then loud foot steps could be heard and all of a sudden, Takahiro was tackle and went to the ground. "Finally! I've been looking for you." said a young lad. About the same age as the shy fellow, but was almost as tall as Akihiko. He was wearing a school uniform and got up from the ground. Helping the other to his feet. "Man you gotten skinny. You're almost light as a feather." he said with a smile no his face.

"Araki-san? Wha-what are you doing here?" he asked. Looking a little shock. The other male smiled. Running his finger through his bleach blond hair. "I came looking for you, silly." he said. Takahiko blushes and looks at his master. He bows to him. "I-I'm sorry." he said. Thinking that he was in trouble.

Akihiko frowned as the suddenly appeared guy was so familiar to Takahiro. He almost growled at the other, but he then decided to keep his cool and be polite. A smile formed on his lips even when it wasn't really kind like normally. He hold his hand out to the boy and introduced himself. "I'm Akihiko Takano. And who are you if I can ask?" he says his tone a bit harsh.

Takahiro can hear the harsh tone in his voice and thought that he was mad at him for his friend. The other male smiled and shook his head. "So your the rich kid that Takahiro's father watched over. "I am Dai Araki. I've known Takahiro since he was little." he said with a smile on his face. "Um...Ara-Araki-san. May-may I ask as to why you were lo-looking for me?" The smaller of the two asked. With his handing low and spoke in a quiet voice.

That's when the other wrapped his arm around the other's shoulder and pulled him to a side hug. Making him blush. "Because I became worried. You haven't been to0 school in a long time and I saw the for sale sign at your home. I thought something bad happen to my little Taka-chan." he said in a playful tone. "I first check the hospital to see if you had fallen ill again. Then I remember that you come here a lot to see your old man's grave. I was very worried." he said in a softer tone and kissed him on the forehead.

"I-I dropped out to-to work for Takano-sama. I-I'm sorry to have worried you. I-I forgot to tell you that I-I change my number." he tells his friend. Then he turns to his master. "I-I'm sorry for my friend. He's a little energetic, but he a nice person." he said with a shy smile on his face.

This time he really growled as the new arrived kid just hugged his Takahiro. "You don't have to worry he's in good hands." I said to that Araki with a glare. He then looked back to Takahiro and said. "We should go."
