[Takeishi POV]

Standing on the stairs, under the stone, the entrance to the school provided a but of shelter as Takeishi thought of a way to get home.

Yozo, standing by the gate, under his umbrella looked at the reminding kids, all making a run for it in the rain; except the black haired boy left over. With a small splash, ge walked over to the boy, grabbing his hand, with a quoted "Let's go; I have an umbrella." It was simple. He started dragging the other back to his house.

Walking in the door, he took his shoes off, leaving them on the shoe rack, as he closed the umbrella, smiling at Takeishi, who was removing his shoes as well; respectfully.

"Let's go upstairs." Yozo said, as he grabbed Takeishi's wrist, bring him upstairs, before the other stopped, saying "My ear hurts." As Yozo looked at the others ear, his eyes widened considerably; Takeishi's ear was practically gushing pus, probably caused from running in the rain.

"I'm sorry, Takeishi; for making you run in the rain. Uh, go inside the room, and I'll be right back."

He said, hastily as he unlocked his door, before running back down stairs, to grab some cotton, and disinfectant. Walking into his room, he sat down on his head, lightly patting his lap for Takeishi to put his head.

Once the other did, Yozo hummed, feeling bad for possibly causing all this for the other boy. As he started to gently clean out the others ear, he spoke; his tone tender, and apologetic: like a mother's voice with a young child.

"I'm really sorry, Takeishi."
