A Meeting with Fate(Shunnosuke)

Oh. Right. The confectionery. Truthfully, Shunnosuke didn't mind much displays of affection in public. An example is when he cleaned Nozomi's mouth, or when the waiter returned to the table and stayed there unbeknownst to the Kurosawa. That's because he knew they wouldn't go overboard in public, thus every gesture was merely innocent, regardless of how bold it could be perceive by someone else's eyes. But now...behind closed doors, who knew? — ...Honestly? I thought you wanted to... Do I really have to say it? — He glanced at Nozomi with an obvious expression. It was clear what Shunnosuke assumed of this meeting, no? He didn't have to express it out loud, it would be too embarrassing. Even though the teenager could act bold and flirtatious most of the time, he was still a well-raised, serious young man who valued this kind of moment very much. On the other hand... Nozomi seemed too respectful to the point that, if he wanted to do something to the shorter teenager, he would have done it already, right? At least, that's what Shun would like to believe. — I'm sorry, I... I know I misjudged. I got the fact I'm alone with you a bit over my head... — Clear disconcert in his chuckle. Great, now he was feeling ashamed again...

Wanted to what?Oh right....Nozomi couldn't blame shunnosuke for potentially thinking that.He was looking back at to how his own invitation sounded. The invite to his own home. Alone. No parents or anything. Especially for people his age could sometimes imply other intentions of some kind.Don't....Say it. Hey... Listen I can't blame you for thinking that. If anything I heard its supposedly rather common with this type of invitation... I shoulda been more specific about this.The boy would say noticably sitting back on the couch. He would sigh a bit before speaking once again towards Shunnosuke.I'm a bit sorry too. If I had been more specific you wouldn't have thought that in the first place...He would say in a apologetic voice. He felt it was his fault slightly.

Now, speaking of it, yes, the invitation sounded all kinds of...innuendos. Looking on the bright side, the fact Nozomi was completely oblivious to the obvious and potential malicious implications of his invite proved something to the blonde teenager. Something he had known for a while: Nozomi's "Nice Guy" side wasn't a façade, at all. Thinking about it made Shunnosuke chuckle a bit, relieved and surprised at how quick he is to jump to conclusions. — Well now, look at that. You know, in the movies this is the perfect opportunity to throw a party, invite some friends over and ask them to bring some beverage. Life imitates art, what do you say? — He smiled in a naughty manner to Nozomi. Clearly, it was his jester side speaking louder to break the awkward air in between. Shun would never seriously consider to throw a party at someone else's house, much thanks to his consideration for other people's property. Unless Nozomi gave him authorization... that'd be a whole different thing. — Seriously, though... If you haven't thought about anything, we can just talk. Perhaps this is another chance of mine to reward you another suitable sobriquet.

Ha Ha. The idea of throwing a party. As much as I'd love to throw one I wouldn't wanna trash the place or anything of the sort now.Looking directly towards shunnosuke and noticing his smile. The boy really did like to meddle with him alot in a specific way. Well...Honestly. Yeah sure. Let's talk then. I hadn't thought of anything to do haha.The boy really was glad that Shunnosuke had understood that the boy didn't really have much planned from how it appeared and had honest intent. In the end it had looked as if the two had merely had a slight misunderstanding with each other. Which he was rather thankful and Shunnosuke probably was as well. Though yeah. Now was the now.

— Alright then. Hmmmm... — He would walk a bit across the living room, in a surprisingly thoughtful motion. All of a sudden, he got the snide aura vanished and his expression went blank, lost in whatever is inside his mind right now. — Do you remember I asked yesterday for us to meet? I wanted to have the chance to explain certain things and put them to light for you. So... I assume the chance has come. All I ask for was for you to listen...and understand me. — He said, ending his steps close to a wall, the opposite direction to Nozomi's so they could be facing each other, in fact; Shunnosuke leaned against it, both hands behind his back in a serene motion. He wondered...

Guest

Hm?Alright.The boy would say leaning back against the couch seat. Looking intently at Shunnosuke.Yeah I remember that yes. Well... By explain certain things. Sure. Your free to give it a go I'm all ears..Don't worry about it.The boy would directly say making sure Shunnosuke understood that he had Nozomi's full undivided attention for all of this really. Lying back and facing shunnosuke directly he would wonder a lot about what the boy would potentially say to him. What would he come out to him about anyway?The kichida could only lie back and see what Shunnosuke was going to say to him?Feelings?A secret?He wouldn't know. Nozomi wasn't exactly a mind reader and if anything was far from one. At best he could just perceive little traits about people or things.

He hummed and sighed. My, this was hard. Nozomi had given him attention and permission to speak, he couldn't back down now.

— I have told you my father will leave soon, but I haven't told you why. And the reason is...he's divorcing from my mother... — He had a downed gaze to a distant point ahead, as if he weren't looking to Nozomi at all, but at...somewhere. Nowhere. Everywhere. Perhaps it's easier for him if he didn't catch the look on the dark-haired teen's face. — The truth is... He and my mother never liked each other. They had an arranged marriage, my mother was a teenager when she got pregnant and my father was her teacher. It wasn't supposed to happen, but...well, it did. To not ruin my family's reputation, my Grandfather forced them to marry, because to him it's inadmissible for a woman to raise a child alone without a man, and even more inadmissible that this woman is his daughter. To him, she was disgraced by my father. Dad also didn't want to marry, but he didn't have an option. If the story leaked, he would never find a job in Azores again, my grandfather is ruthless, he would make sure Dad would fall into ruins if he didn't obey to him. So... that's my family's scenery. Two people together who never wanted to have a child in first place...

A small pause. He had come far, and he'd keep pushing it until he got everything out of his chest.

— I had a talk to them a few weeks ago. And I managed to make them come clean to each other. I feel like I understand my mother better now. I can't blame her for not being able to love me as a child, and while we're on good terms with each other now, I don't expect anything further. As for my father... He's been living hell ever since, and he can't adjust to my family no matter what. So... I convinced him that they should divorce, and he should move out. He agreed with me that's about time for him to return to England. But... — He bit his lip, his voice losing its stable tone and becoming shaky. Not enough to crack completely, but enough for anyone to realize how this affects the blonde teenager. — He's lonely on his own. My mother still has her parents, grandfather and grandmother, but Dad doesn't have anyone besides me. I thought that maybe I could go with him.. — He finally raised his timid look to Nozomi. He had thrown too much on him to digest, so if he wanted to say something in that respect, now was the time.

He would lie back taking in every word. He would not speak until Shunnosuke was done speaking however. He had not wished to interuppt the boys long speak onto him. After all. Judging from how he was saying it.

.....The boy was kinda speechless at the entire exburst from Shunnosuke. He could tell he had to think rather carefully before he said anything whatsoever. Well.... Shunnosuke Listen. Frankly. Both your mother and your father owe it to you slightly off the fact that you were born off their actions yes... I cannot say I agree with your grandfather really. Forcing the two to marry off of blackmail in all honesty made things kind of worse. What's good is that you got the two to atleast understand and come clean to each other. Honesty is kind of the best policy atleast to me. Now... I just don't know what to say for you to do Shunnosuke..The boy would pause. He would begin to then encourage something onto shunnosuke instead of being selfish like he may originally have been.

Follow your heart...? Yeah. Follow what you feel is right in your gut Shunnosuke. Though. Remember. Only follow your father if your truely believe you can go through with it Not just for his own sake as it is. It doesn't help if you follow him only to be miserable yourself. Your own happiness is worth considering as well.Your a damn human being too.He wanted the boy to be happy in his own right. Not sacrifice his own happiness for his father if he did not want too or anything.

Listen if there's anything else you gotta say...Don't be afraid. I don't mind listening to all of this. I'm here for you Shunnosuke.

Quite an expected response. While he didn't see with good eyes what his Grandpa had done, he didn't blame him either. Shunnosuke loved his grandfather, and albeit stern and severe in his judgments and actions, old man Oujirou did what he could to protect the honor of his family and the business he worked so hard to build on. The Kurosawa group was prosperous thanks to his efforts and hard work, he couldn't simply risk putting everything to the ground with a scandal of such magnitude. Still...he could understand his mother's grieves and resentment towards the life she leads on. Mrs. Eriko was his age when she got pregnant and she couldn't live the best of her youth years thanks to a single mistake. Likewise, Mr. Leighton would have one hell of a fall if he didn't complied to Oujirou's threats and blackmail. At any angle you look at, at any possible solution for one part of the involved ones, one (or more) of them would be disgraced while the other(s) wouldn't. It was just a matter of choosing who would end up badly hurt and minimizing an already done damage.

And in the long run, he would be caught up in the middle of this network of sorrow and mutual resent. Staying with his father seemed like a way to make things better, of making up for an otherwise irreparable situation. He could do it. He wanted to do it.

...but now, he wasn't so sure anymore. Nozomi said for him to follow his heart, right? — ...what if my heart lies with someone else? — His brain told him that leaving to another country is the best, on a rational standpoint, both for his personal beliefs and academic/professional ambitions, and for the sake of a good communication with his father. But his heart... The moment he looked and listened to Nozomi, it's as if his heart was screaming something different. What, exactly, he couldn't decipher, but perhaps he had a hint...

Guest

What if his heart lies with someone else?Well the point of The Kichida's words were to convince Shunnosuke to follow his heart.Whoever he felt drawn towards that was who he was clearly hinting to go for. Should it be his father or something else. The Rich boy was clear to go anywhere he pleased.

Honestly. If your heart lies with someone else....Go for them. You have ambitions,Dreams of your own no?It's not worth sacrificing if you wouldn't be happy. After all. A parent if anything should encourage their Child regardless of how they were birthed to Pursue what they would be most satisfied and frankly most successful with.

It was true. Shunnosuke probably had dreams of his own. Things he wanted to pursue. Things he was driven to excel in or accomplish and frankly. Nozomi wanted Shunnosukes family to put those into consideration as well. Just as how he wanted shunnosuke to consider them at the exact same time. In the end. Even if their both still recoiling from well...That marriage. They should atleast care about your own future and what you want as well. Your their child. Regardless of what they say.

Those were the only words Nozomi had said. For they were the only ones that he knew he could say and knew how to say onto Shunnosuke. Now he had to wait and see how the boy would react.

"Go for them". He didn't have to say anything else. Perhaps this was the lead Shunnosuke needed at all. Maybe there was still time; he still haven't talked to his father about his decision, mainly because he wasn't even sure if such decision was driven by the right reasons. He had much to lose should he truly pursue that option: the control over the Kurosawa group, the academic success he strives for at prestigious schools in Azores and...

— ...You're... — He provided an amazed smile to the other, tinted with genuine admiration. "If you're not sure, don't go", basically. It was quite a simple solution, but he never even cogitated it, too absorbed at the own misery to even realize the other paths to walk to. "Why haven't he thought about it before?", he wondered while his steps led him to sit at the couch, by his host's side. — In time, I'll realize what I have to do. In fact...I think I already have a clue as to where to start. And I should thank you for that. I knew I could count on you, Nozomi. — Suddenly, he didn't feel chained anymore to moral obligations to his family and his surname. It all felt, indeed, realistically simple for him to solve.

Guest

Hm? I'm.....?The boy would say wondering what Shunnosuke was going to say about him. There were alot of blanks to fill in that was for sure yeah. Though he didn't know what would come out of Shunnosukes mouth. He would be left to speculate. Though jduging from the boys smile he could tell it was something positive alright. Which was great. Shunnosuke appeared to in Nozomi's mindset have realized something off of Nozomi's talk with him.

Well. That is great to hear from you Shunnosuke.He would offer the boy a smile of his own. He was glad Shunnosuke had figured out what he wanted. Well not the entire thing. Though that he atleast was well on his way to discovering and figuring it out. Which proved in the end that the Kichida himself had succeeded.Atleast you figured out where to start. Better than knowing nothing to say the least. Honestly. I won't lie. I myself am a bit unsure of what I Really want. Though I guess you could say off what I said to you. I reminded myself of what I should actually be doing..It did remind the Kichida of a personal problem he had been having.

Hm? Nozomi insecure? Now that's a first. He couldn't really say he wasn't surprised, because, frankly, his eyes showed it very clear by the way he shifted his sight from some random spot to the dark-haired teen's face. However, it's perfectly normal for a teenager, let alone involved with the supernatural, to retain their insecurities in their hearts. He could tell.

— Hmmm... You've been providing me assistance, it's only fair for me to return your help. So...do tell. — He wouldn't lie, he was curious to see what bothers the ever-so-confident Nerdzomi into a reflexive state of insecurity. Still, he wasn't all about poking into someone else's affairs; he seriously was willing to lend him a friendly ear and shoulder, should Nozomi wish so.

Guest

Well Alright...You see...The boy didn't know how Shunnosuke would react to this. He really did not have that much on his mind. However it was still something worth being of some concern to say the least. It was a problem he was struggling with.

Well I mean It may come off as odd. But my problems don't really have to do with Normal things as of YET. But like...I don't know anymore. Just. With everything I'm doing. I'm trying to figure out if what I'm trying to do or pull off is the right thing. Or even the thing I can agree with you know?
This left Nozomi thinking about everything he had done of the course of his time in Azores. Frankly there were a few moral questions here and there. Though he didn't know if he was going in the right direction anymore with his pursuits and that worried him.

So, his issues were more related to the chaos Azores is in. He shared some identification with the dark-haired teen, for he also had his doubts about the latest actions.

— Hm... It's not odd... I can understand what you mean. — Aligning with an Angel, making deals with a shady gang from the outskirts of Azores... The kind of thing he would never do otherwise, in normal conditions. The difference is, perhaps, that Shunnosuke was firm he was doing all of this rather risky moves to help Azores from being driven to the utter, irreparable destruction. — Though I don't know what exactly are the struggles you face, I'm positive that whatever you have done, is thinking of Azores. Because it's you. It's not hard to see how mature and strong-willed you are. So, I know you wouldn't do anything if you didn't think it was the right thing to do. — Now was his turn to offer some comfort words and return a fraction of his admiration for the other.
