Chapter Text
Hello my name's ash and i'm actually a close relative of Aren you could see the similarities I guess. Another thing is I have to stay with him the rest of my highschool years. I have caused too much trouble in my home town in america. As a last resort my parents sent me off to live with my cousin Aren in japan. His parents were nearly never around so it would basically just be me and him living together. I was actually kind of excited that I could put on a whole new personality at this new school. Today was my parents' dreaded day, the day I had to get on a plane and leave this hell hole america.
“Hey love you mom and dad I promise I’ll be good” I said with a smile creating a huge group hug with the two of them.
“You have your passport and the money we gave you correct?” My mother said just before I walked away and flashed them to her with a smile as I walked off to board my plane giving a wave. Finally some peace and quiet now I can just listen to music the rest of the trip. I put my earbuds in just as a kid started screaming and I tried to blast my music over its wails but it just pissed me off so I excused myself to the bathroom for a break. God this is going to be different I said to myself sighing in the mirror.
--------
I walked off the plane towards the baggage area with a yawn. I slept almost the whole way. It was the only way to drown out the sounds like thousands of children whining. I saw my dark red bag and grabbed it with my pillow and blanket walking towards the exit looking for any sign of Aren. I pulled out my phone to text him before he came out of nowhere and scared the shit out of me. I put my hands on my knees bending over trying to regain myself before standing upright seeing he had friends with him. Why did he have friends with him? There was a tall guy with a wack ass butt chin and a blonde mohawk, he also had another friend that seemed really shy. He had light blue hair and bandages around his hand. There was another boy who looked abnormal with pink hair and antennas?? I smiled bowing slightly at Aren and his friends before embracing Aren with a smile.
“Bro I missed you, hope you haven't been getting in too much trouble without me” I smiled at the boy knowing he wasn't the same person he used to be.
“Someone has been getting in trouble,” Aren said, looking at me from the side of his eye with a smirk. I punched his arm playfully before looking over at his friends that were just standing there.
“I’m sorry I didn't introduce myself and I would've dressed better if I knew there were going to be other people with Aren” I smile as I looked over at them all “Hello my name is Ash and i'm from Louisiana, America i'm glad to be out” I sighed
“This is Nendo, he's quite friendly,” Aren said, pointing to the boy with the blonde mohawk as I bowed slightly.
“No need for bowing buddy, you don't have to be that respectful with us” Nendo said with a loud laugh as he threw his arm over my shoulders. I laughed along with him before looking back at Aren.
“This is Kaidou” Aren said, pointing at the guy with light blue hair and he blushed with a wave.
“Now he's cute, he reminds me of a puppy dog” I laughed as the blue haired boy pouted.
“And last but not least this is Saiki” He said pointing at the pink haired boy and he bowed. Now he was interesting and he seemed closed off. Hot. I thought to myself with a smile bowing back.
“And this is Aren,” Nendo said, wrapping his other arm around him.
“I think she knows that dipshit she's going to be living with him until highschool is done,” Kaido said, crossing his arms. Oh big ole tuff guy come to save me yay.
“Aren are we going to be walking or taking a taxi? I have really bad jet lag” I yawned, easing out of nendos grip.
“We were going to go out for ramen. Would you not like to come along?” Aren asked with a frown.
“ I really do need sleep,” I said, looking around at the boys. “Alright fuck it lets go its only friday anyways” They all cheered besides saikI but I didnt mind.
“The house is on the way there so we can just drop off your stuff in your room” Aren said looking back at you and I smiled back.
After dropping off your stuff and grabbing some ramen we all decided to walk around Japan giving me a sort of tour. SaikI left after the ramen, kinda disappointing he seemed like he didn't want anything to do with us but the boys didn't seem to realize but I did and he wouldn't treat my cousin like a bug on the bottom of his shoe. It was around midnight and there was still a good few people out on the streets. Nendo walked on my right while Aren was on my left and Kaidou was in front of me going on about a dark reunion or something I regret asking.
“Woah” I said my mouth agape. “It's so pretty here” I smiled looking up at the bright neon signs lighting up the street. It was very different from your hometown. It was pretty bland. I have always wanted to go to japan and I nearly pissed myself when I found out I would be coming overseas to live with my cousin.
“I know right,” Kaidou said, putting his hands on his hips and tilting his head upward, closing them. I punched his stomach making him go into a fit of coughing causing the rest of us to die laughing.
“Aye man don't leave yourself open like that” Aren said, throwing a more serious look on his face. That similar feeling started to kick in as you remembered you haven't had nicotine in the past 24 hours. Shit withdrawal symptoms. I said to myself before flashing a smile to them and yawning. Her smoking addiction was quite embarrassing and she definitely didn't want her cousins' friends that she’d have to deal with for the next two years to know.
“I think me and Aren ought to get home, the sleep is hitting me now” I said bowing slightly at the two men. “Thank you for showing me around my new home for the next two years. I hope we can all hangout again soon you guys are cool” I smiled, giving them a wave before me and Aren were on our way back. I wasn't lying, the sleep was hitting me hard. Good thing his house wasn't far from where we had been. I walked on the porch with a sigh drawing my cigarettes out and lighting one. Aren had sat next to you on the stoop of the door. You both sat there for a while in silence. It wasn't bad. I enjoyed it. We used to be so close when we were younger and now we barely knew anything.
“So you got any hot chicks on your dick yet?” I said, breaking the silence with a smirk as I saw him blush and freak out. I replied with a loud laugh. “It's fine you're shy don't rush yourself” I smiled over at him. “So you still haven't been able to get your parents to come back?” I asked, resting my chin on my hand looking over at the boy. He shook his head looking back over at me.
“What about you? I didn't get any details on why you were here, I just heard you did some things” Aren said, leaning back on the door, sprawling his legs out and his hands behind his head.
“Wellll” I chuckled copying his position “My parents kinda fell apart after they found out that I had been diagnosed with PTSD from their fighting when I was younger and that I was doing drugs” I said chewing on my lip remembering the stuff they said to me. “We seem like the perfect go lucky family but we really aren't” I said as tears started rolling down my face. Aren wrapped his arms around me. I dropped my cigarette and hugged him back.
“I missed you so much don't worry we will have fun and maybe get you with nendo” He said chuckling as I shoved him away.
“Ewww sorry but your friends aren't really my type their chill tho” I said smiling. It was peaceful and I enjoyed it.
