Phone Call

"Uncleeee!" When we arrived, Toma was the first one to greet my dad, as if he was the real son. Though it doen't upset me how he act like that, he only annoys me with his loud voice of his.

"Toma! Yuji! It's nice to see you two again." Dad said while patting Toma on the head like a dog.

"Yeah, we won't be here for long though, so let's dig in on that feast!" Toma excitedly got in the house first looking like a starved animal. I only sighed and went inside the house with my dad.

It was nice being with dad again, I find it comforting to see him around. I just feel a bit sad sometimes whenever this house reminds me of mom. That's why I chose a boarding school, it was kind of unfortunate Toma had to tag along. I'm like babysitting and studying at the same time.

As it was time to sleep, we had Toma use the guest room while I rest in mine. He insisted to sleep in my room, but I want him out of sight even once in a while.
