Rei's POV
~~
Not finding either of my parents anywhere, I'm anxious to get home.
"Nervous?" I ask as we reach my bike.
"Not really," Ruki answers, shaking his head. "When I last saw your mom, she was smiling. I take that as a good sign."
"What about my father?" I dare to ask.
"I didn't see him. It IS possible that he was here, tho. But I have no idea what it means. Sorry," he says, wrapping his arms around my waist.
Pulling him closer, I try putting my thoughts into words. "It doesn't make any sense to me. He's been ignoring me for years. Why the sudden interest?"
Ruki doesn't answer.
Holding me tight as I try to sort things out.
Finally, I loosen my hold on him.
"We should probably get going."
"Yeah, I'm starving," he smiles up at me.
Walking into the house, I stop Ruki before he gets too far.
"Why don't you get us something to eat? I'll shower first. OK?"
"K. I'll bring the food up."
I give him a quick kiss, before we head in different directions.
I stop at the stairs, turning to make sure he's gone.
Instead of going up, I turn down the hallway.
Heading for my father's study.
Sure that he's not in bed yet.
I rap lightly on the door.
I hear a muffled 'enter' and push the door open.
"Got a minute?" I ask as my father looks up.
"Certainly," he says, pushing the papers he was looking at aside.
"You came to the show tonight," I say as I take a seat across from him.
He looks at me in surprise.
I guess I wasn't supposed to see him.
"Yes. I was there."
"Why?" I finally ask.
He leans back, folding his hands.
"We've been fighting for how long now?" he asks.
I raise my eyebrows.
"I wasn't aware we were fighting. I'd call it more like ignoring each other."
"Call it whatever you want. We've been doing it for a long time. Too long, wouldn't you agree?"
I just nod, not sure where he's going with this.
"I'm not going to change you and you're not going to change me. We both know this. So let's stop trying, shall we?"
He catches me off guard with that one.
I don't know what to say.
"Look. I can't undo anything that's already been done. Neither can you. So instead of dwelling on the past, let's think about the future."
"What are you suggesting?"
"That we try something new. I stop trying to run your life. And you stop trying to piss me off. How's that sound?"
I try not to laugh.
That wouldn't be too helpful in this situation.
After all, he sounds like he's serious.
"Sounds good to me. How do we start?"

Ruki's POV
~~
I make my way to the kitchen.
No matter where Rei's actually headed, I want food.
Stepping thru the door, I hesitate.
His mom's sitting at the table, a cup between her hands.
Coming further into the kitchen, I smile when she looks up.
"Hi. What did you think of our band?"
"You're very entertaining. The crowd seemed to enjoyed it."
I guess I must look disappointed.
"Do you really want me to like your music?" she asks, smiling.
I shrug, not really sure if I did or not. "I wanted you to be proud of Rei."
"Well, that I am. I'm very proud. Of both of you."
I smile at that. "Really? Are you going to tell him that?"
"I think I better," she says, nodding, "don't you?"
"Absolutely.”
“Now, I bet you came in here to get something to eat. Why don't I give you a hand?" she offers, walking over to the fridge.
Finally making my way upstairs, I push Rei's bedroom door open.
A bit surprised to hear water running in the bathroom.
I thought for sure that Rei wanted to talk to his dad.
I start eating, not waiting for him to finish.
Knowing that as soon as he comes out, I'm heading for a shower myself.
Reita steps out of the bathroom, seeing me almost immediately.
I guess it'd be hard to miss me, as I'm sitting in the middle of his bed, watching the door.
I scramble off the bed, muttering "My turn."
He chuckles as I walk past him.
Clean and feeling refreshed, I walk back into Rei’s room.
He’s lying on the bed, fingers laced behind his head, eyes closed.
Gently settling myself beside him, I lean my head against him.
He moves his arms, bringing them both around me.
“Hey,” he says against my hair.
“Hey yourself. I had a nice talk with your mom in the kitchen.”
“Yeah? That’s funny cuz I had a nice talk with my father in his den.”
“So you did go talk to your dad. I thought you were going to,” I say leaning back so I can see his face. “What happened?”
He flashes me a smile, “We really have a truce now. And I think this one’s gonna last. Now what did my mom have to say?”
“Nuh-uh,” I shake my head at him, “she’s gonna tell you herself.”
“Oh, keeping secrets, are we?”
“Yeah, right. Me and your mom,” I laugh.
Rei’s quiet for a minute.
“Speaking of secrets,” he says softly, “there’s probably something you should know.”
