Chapter
''I don't remember much of my childhood, just bits and pieces. Well, my childhood was only for, at the most, 3 years. I had to grow up quickly. Much too quick for any normal child. ''

“Tetsuo!” A soft yet hard voice called. The sound of light feet running on wood came to the man's ears.

“Yes, Otou-Sama?” A young boy said. He had short black hair that went no where over his ears slicked back in a nice and neat style. His skin was as pale as any moon would ever be. He wore nice slacks and a 2-sizes-too-big white button down shirt. The boy bowed before the man.

“Tetsuo, I am going to be out of town for a few days.” Tetsuo frowned.

“Is Tetsuo going to be home alone again, Otou-Sama?” He questioned, and looked up at the man with dark black eyes that seemed to be an abyss. The man let a small frown show.

“Yes, Tetsuo, you'll be-”

“Why does it have to be Tetsuo!” Tetsuo yelled, squeezing his eyes shut. “WHY?! Everyone else gets to have their parents at home except for Tetsuo! Tetsuo don't even have an Okaa-San and Tetsuo's only Otou-Sama leaves home every chance that he gets!” The man stiffened as Tetsuo began to emit tears and sob.

“Tetsuo, you know that-”

“”That it's for you, Tetsuo”! Tetsuo knows, Tetsuo knows! But...Tetsuo wonders if Tetsuo's own father even love him, he leaves home so much!” Tetsuo's father bent over and pressed a hand on the now crying Tetsuo's shoulder.

“Tetsuo, I'm so sorry.” He said. “But I try just for you. I promise, one day soon, it'll just be you and me. Ken'ichi and Tetsuo plus none.” Tetsuo looked up and tried to stop sobbing.

“R-really?” He said. Tetsuo's father, Ken'ichi, nodded. “Promise?” Tetsuo held out his pinky. Ken'ichi grinned and nodded.

“I promise!” He connected their pinkies. Tetsuo wiped his face.

“Good!” The little boy exclaimed.

“Hey, Tet-Kun?” Ken'ichi asked. The boy made a “hm” sound. “How would you like to move to the United States? It was a job position and I was going to say no, but...?” Tetsuo jumped up and down.

“Will Otou-Sama stay home with Tetsuo more?” Ken'ichi nodded.

“I will.” He vowed. Tetsuo nodded.
