9 Ch5 Uncle rushes in Edited

Uncle POV

I just couldn't concentrate at work. I had to get back to the house and make sure Yuki did not open that box. He better have listened to me. What if he didn't then what? How would I explain what could have been in there given it was from Xpedion... More importantly how did they know where he lived!

Do I have a leak in my office? Did I say or do something that gave it away? When I find the person who told Xpedion they will have a lot to explain and then ill decide what to do with them.

I finally arrived at the house and just ran through the door.

"YUKI where are you? I'm calling you. Why are you not answering me? Now, I'm getting really angry. If my face could turn red it would.

I looked all over the house. Where can he be? After calling Yuki's name over and over again I realized he didn't expect me to be here at this hour. The reason being It's not daybreak and I'm hardly ever here at night.

Wait, I'm getting off-topic... Why can't I focus….

I get to Yuki's room and plan to push the door open, but for some reason, I can't.

I pound on the door several times to try to get his attention. Nothing!

"YUKI OPEN YOUR DOOR!"

"YUKI I'M NOT GOING TO ASK YOU AGAIN…"

I continue to try to open the door. I'm turning the knob and pushing, but it's not moving. "YUKI OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW DO YOU HEAR ME?"

Finally, after knocking and pushing on the door it finally opened. I took one step in and realized he was still sleeping. It didn't take that long to see the box. It was with him in bed. From the doorway, it looks like he didn't open it. It looks like it's wrapped and the card is still on it. I wish I could get closer, but it feels like something or someone is stopping me.

He's 10… Ten-year-old human children are usually so curious and the card has his name on it. Hmmm, now I wonder why he didn't open it… did I scare him? It was addressed to him. I honestly don't think I would have waited.

Maybe I'm dreaming. I should be able to get closer to the box and pick it up….. But the closer I got the harder it was to move my arms….. I took a few steps back. Scratching my head I'm thinking this makes no sense. I SHOULD be able to get closer to the box and Yuki, but I can't!!! It's like there is a force field around them, but how…..I must be dreaming. Am I awake?

Wait, why am I asking that. OF COURSE, I'm awake and yes I can't get close! I actually couldn't even open the door at first. 'Wait a second... I tried several times to open the door and it wouldn't budge then it just opened on its own and Yuki was still sound asleep! I found myself looking at the door and back at Yuki several times. My mind had an idea what happened, but yet it couldn't be that. I need to forget that for the time being and focus on the box which is the main reason I came back to the house tonight, I continued trying to get closer to the box. I must have been making some noise because Yuki woke up. He slowly sat up in bed and stretched his arms up to the ceiling then rubbing his eyes and yawned. It took him a little while to open his eyes and then he looked down at the box he was holding and smiled. After a few moments, I guess he realized he wasn't alone. As Yuki was waking up I continued to get closer thinking that since he's up whatever was stopping me had to be gone, but it wasn't.

"Uncle, why are you standing by the door? Come closer," he said in a drowsy voice then just looked at me and continued to rub his tired eyes.

How do I explain to Yuki that I can't come closer??? I started to panic with how to get out of this situation.

I decided to turn around and head to the kitchen. Yuki was calling me saying "Uncle why did you leave my room come back? I want to show you something." in a childishly sleepy tone!

That stopped me in my tracks.. Did he open the box? Oh, he better not have!!!. the gears in my mind turned.

Now my mind was thinking of so many things that could have been in the card and/or box from Xpedion! Why did it have to be Xpedion I groaned

"YUKI MEET ME IN THE KITCHEN NOW!!!!'' I screamed trying to get him away from the box.

"But Uncle, I'm tired, I want to sleep." I know he was tired. It was almost midnight and I'm usually not here.

"Uncle is something wrong? Why won't you come back to my room and talk to me or read me a story? YOu haven't done that in soooooo long. Is that why you're here?" he tilted his head and pulled the blanket back over his body trying to go back to sleep.

So many questions, no time to answer. "Yuki stop with the questions and meet me in the kitchen," I said in a calm voice since yelling didn't work.

"I don't want to Uncle." he said in an annoyed tone.

I froze Yuki always listens to me. This is brand new why is he being so obstinate!!
