Just remain calm, if you're scared, she'll be scared too, Daisuke explained to Kai who sat on a low stool ready to milk a cow. He decided that if he didn't want to be a burden to them, he'd have to start helping out in the field too.
Now, make a ring with your thumb and index finger like I did, and just squeezed downward slowly, don't pull or tug at her teats. Like this, Kai did as instructed careful not to tick off Martha(the cow) off. Daisuke, look, I just milked the cow, Kai went towards Daisuke who was looking like a proud parent with the milk bucket in hand. Wow Kai, you're looking more and more like a Norfolk boy by day, Mrs Mei applauded upon her arrival, as he smiled shyly accepting the praises. Soon you'll be milking cows in school, in school, Kai arched his eyebrow taken aback turning to Daisuke. We go to an agricultural college, so we do everything agricultural, ohh, he nodded along, even after some time here, it was still so hard to fit in.
Kai strolled into the school toilet to take a piss. Peeing into one of the urinals he noticed a flood of guys poor into the toilet, if he didn't know anything he knew for sure that it was goldilocks and his gang, ever since Daisuke twisted his hand he's been giving him the stink eye from afar, but never dared to harm him. It seemed to him his luck had ran out.
After peeing he just turned around with his head down, ready to take what was to come, he was heavily outnumbered so there was no need to fight. Kai, someone called out his name with an Angel like echo, strolling in with his hands in his pocket, are these guys bothering you. He continued to one of the urinals and peed, Kai standing there looking confused and relieved. Oh come on, we just came to use the toilet and he happened to be here, no need to be so protective over your friend here, the leader of the bullies laughed and walked out, the rest of the bullies following behind.
Thank you, you saved me again, there's no sorry and thank you in matters concerning family, Daisuke smirked. Kai was thankful, he couldn't help but feel useless, he couldn't even protect himself, he had to become stronger, maybe even as strong as Daisuke.
Eat some more Fumiko, you have to grow up strong and healthy like your brothers, Mrs Mei smiled. Why aren't you eating anything Kai, would you like something else, she questioned noticing that he hadn't even touched his food. No I'm fine, his voice shivered as he took a deep shaky breath, putting his head down to his the tears that were building up in his eyes, I'm just not hungry, I'll go to bed now, he ran upstairs.
He sobbed with his hand over his mouth trying not to make a sound, breathing heavily as his body shivered and shook, curled up on the floor at the foot of his bed.
I should go check on him, Daisuke who always seemed to notice when something was wrong with him excused himself.
Throwing the door open, he stopped for a second to look at how pitiful the poor boy was, before running to him and embracing him. He hugged him from the side, throwing his hands over his wrapped up body and caressing his hair. Kai at first taken aback by the sudden body warmth noticed it was Daisuke, he held onto him tightly like he was never going to let go, still trying not to bawl his eyes out so as to not alert the rest.
His breath returned no normal slowly after staying in that position for some time. You can let go now, he let out, his voice low and hoarse, he was thankful for Daisuke who just sat there in silence with him until he calmed down. Do you want some water, he asked seeing the drained look on Kai's face, no I'm fine, no don't go, Kai grabbed Daisuke who was attempting to bring water for him anyway. Sorry, just stay with me, Kai quickly took his hand off and explained.
As Daisuke moved to his bed, Kai followed suit. Is that fine, Kai looked at him expectantly as he tapped his lap for him to lay down.
Actually, Kai heaved, my sister's birthday is this week, he smiled sadly, she would have been turning eight. I don't know how I had the nerve to think that I had the right to be happy, after killing my family, he sobbed. When I saw the date, I just remembered how much she loved her birthday, and how excited she would've been right about now, his voice cracked as hot tears fell down the side of his face. I just can't believe I cut such a bright cheerful life short, it should've been me instead of them, he cried softly.
It wasn't your fault, Daisuke explained while stroking his hair, which he had been doing al the while. You weren't the one who killed your family, so please stop blaming yourself, I'm sure they hate the fact that you blame yourself for their deaths.
After sleeping off on Daisuke's lap, Kai woke up later that night, or wrather forced himself awake afraid that he could hurt him in his sleep. He smiled up at Daisuke who fell asleep in sitting position, upon clearing his throat and noticing how dry it was, he decided to go down for some water.
He heard muffled voices as he walked down, stopping at the stairs where it was dark to listen in. Kousuke, this is really bad, I think we'll need to seel the farm just to pay off the loan, Mrs Mei expressed. We can't be kicked out of the house, we have three kids, we have to do something..
Kai tiptoed his way upstairs so they wouldn't notice him. He remembered his parents insurance money that was sent to him, and decided it was time to help think kind family that took him in. Lost in thought he found himself in front of Daisuke again, honestly he just wanted to hop into the bed and cuddle with him while he stroked his hair, but he couldn't do that. It was weird for boys to do that, and not to talk about that God forsaken Illness he developed. After contemplating, he decided to go sleep in Daisuke's room instead.
