4 Meeting Irina Shidou (1/2)

Finally, when my parents stopped the car I looked out the window and saw many other kids walking through the school gate under the gazes of their loved ones, and Issei and I were the same just like any other kid.

It wasn't until we finally walked 10 meters away from Mom and Dad that Issei started to feel nervous, I, on the other hand, was fine thinking about other things rather than school. For example, there was getting money, getting stronger, and getting friends.

It dawned on me that these past few years I've only ever 'played' with Issei when he would not stop asking me. The be more precise I only played with Issei I had nobody my age that I could call my friend. Because of this, my parents believed I had developed a loner's lifestyle early on in life.

When I heard this I didn't know whether too laugh or cry. It was true that I did sort of distance myself from most people, but that was because I was always meditating. I thought that was the reason why but later it was Issei who told it wasn't my actions but my appearance.

If we were to compare my looks to those of my other family members there'd obviously be some differences. Everyone in my family has dark brown hair with brown eyes, as well as facial muscles that couldn't hide what they were thinking.

I, on the other hand, have light brown hair with naturally formed grey hairs into the mix. Adding to that I had magenta colored eyes that seemed to grow brighter the closer the color was to my pupil. My skin tone was a fair white color, and to top it all off, was the default apathetic expression I had on my face.

Where ever I was I always had a calm expression that made me look as I could care less for the world, but that may have been caused by the constant meditative sessions. My face probably received a muscle memory of my meditative expression thus leading to my apathetic expression. I did smile and use other expressions but it would always revert back to being apathetic in the end.

I tried to explain this to my parents this morning but before I could my dad told me in a strict tone.

Dad - Yu, listen to me being a loner isn't a fun thing, that's why I'm ordering you to go to school and make some friends. No son of mine will walk down a lonely path.

Though he said that in a strict manner, I was able to see the love and care he had for me so I could only agree.

Yu - Hey Issei are you okay?

Issei - I'm a little nervous Yu-nii. I mean we're not in the same class so...

Yu - It's going to be okay Issei, we'll see each other later so just be strong okay.

Issei - En your right.

On that note, I left Issei and went to my own class. Over the years I've gotten to know Issei more than I would have by just reading the book. He was shy in some moment, energetic in others, but overall he was a good kid.

He looks up to me as not just an older brother but also a role model, whenever he had trouble he'd always come to me first which I was confused by, but in the end, accepted it. Issei was born on April 16, 2012, while I was born at (what was on the documents mom and dad found when they took me in) January 1, 2012. {A/N I just made up the year so don't quote me on that}

He knew I wasn't his blood brother but still treated me the same, and I aswell so whenever he seemed to be in trouble I help lift him up whenever he can't do it himself. Maybe that's why he sees me as a role model.

*Ring~*

The school bell went off and the class was now in session. Since it was the first day of school the teacher chose seats through lottery picking. I got the middle row back seat, there were three rows with two people per table. At this moment I still had no partner.
