"Atchew!" This was the 12th time he had sneezed just this evening, seemed he got a cold.
"We're here " the driver spoke as he pulled over in front of the sakamaki mansion . Ichiro looked at the mansion in slight awe . He shrugged as he got out of the limousine
" Thanks!" He said cheerfully as he put down his travel bag.
" I wonder why Dad didn't bother to drop me off as usual" he mumbled to himself as he walked up the stairs
" And where are the others? Don't they know I'm here yet?" He added as he opened the doors of the mansion, he sighed as he glanced around the empty room he was in, he already missed his old home, it wasn't a glorious mansion but Ichiro felt it had more colour to it.
" Welcome master " Ichiro felt his soul go then come back( he was startled), he slowly turned to see an old man, Ichiro guessed that he was a butler his father was talking about. He bowed respectfully and stood up straight
" Good evening, Mr . William" he said with a bright smile , The said man was beyond shocked but remained expressionless, only a tiny smile escaped
" Master, you should'nt show any regard to me, I am nothing but a low servant " he said as he bowed his head
" That may be true but you're fairly still older than me, so I prefer to be respectful, after all I'd be turning down my mother's teachings if I were to act all arrogant " Ichiro grinned , William was speechless. Now he was doubting if Ichiro was really Karlhenz's son , but alas the uncanny resemblance was giant proof, William cleared his throat
" Em, follow me master, I shall take you to your room" he said, not wanting to disrespect the old man Ichiro allowed him to carry his luggage since it was light anyway. On Thier way to his room, Ichiro couldn't help but be curious, so far he had'nt seen his brothers and he was really curious to see what they actually looked like,
" Um…sir?"
" Call me William"
"Okay, where are my brothers ?" Ichiro asked honestly, William wasn't sure Ichiro's so called brothers even wanted to meet him , judging by the look on Thier faces when they learned of his existence
"...."
" William?"
" You'll meet them when the time is right" he answered both for his sake and the heaven sent Sakamaki beside him.
" Okay" Ichiro was disappointed but didn't show it.
" Your room" William stopped in front of a door.
" Thank you William!" Ichiro bowed shortly again and the said man had to stop himself from flinching, he watched as Ichiro shut the door with a smile on his face
" What a delightful boy" he mused as he disappeared.
William had come to call Ichiro for dinner , no, not because Reiji asked him to, his brothers basically didn't care about Ichiro, William was worried about Ichiro's health , why he couldn't just bring his food to him personally? He had been ordered not to, Ichiro on the other hand was happy to meet his brothers, humming happily as he was led to the dinning area, all brothers almost choked on Thier food when they thought the younger version of Thier cruel father, with a happy expression and a Mohawk hairstyle up in a high level had walked in . William willed himself not to laugh while Ichiro had a confused look on his face
" Did I do something?" He mumbled as he watched them
" Wh-who the heck are you?" Ayato exclaimed staring at the white haired boy in shock
" Eh…. I'm Ichiro?" The said boy was very confused, Reiji sighed in relief as he adjusted his glasses
" I see…."
Shu who had been sleeping, opened his eyes and almost fell off his chair. Staring at Ichiro like he saw a ghost. Subaru came in and fell upon seeing Ichiro
" THE HECK?" he exclaimed, meanwhile Kanato clutched his teddy bear closer to his chest
"Teddy, I must be seeing things" he mumbled , Laito just looked stunned, Ichiro sweatdropped
" Did I…do something wrong?" Reiji cleared his throat, still recovering from the shock
" No, it's the fact that you looked exactly like him" Reiji said, meanwhile Yui just looked confused
" Oh" Ichiro made a sound of understanding, he was used to people reacting like that.
After the obvious introductions , everything went silent and Ichiro sure as hell felt awkward but said nothing.
"Mmmmmm!" Ichiro exclaimed as he dropped himself on his bed
"So comfy" he sighed before turning, he stared at the ceiling in thought. First off, his brothers were nothing like he imagined, as much as he hated to admit it, they were merciless monsters, he could already tell. He had so many questions, but one stood out like a sore thumb, what role did his father play in all of this, he was his father too, why did they turn out different? Ichiro closed his eyes as he slowly drifted to sleep, figuring he'd have the answers to all his questions along the way...
