Morning : Sano Dojo : Samuel's room

'Mikey's birthday Is today meaning it's Shinichiro's death day aswell I'll have to keep an eye on him at all times' Nervous samuel walked out the room opening the blinds as he went

washing his face brushing his teeth taking a shower he finished his morning routine and went to the dining room

Seeing Shinichiro now and on his death day to be exact like this...it wasn't the best feeling knowing you have your brothers life in your hands "Good morning samuel" smiling Shinichiro greeted him nodding samuel avoided eye contact, raising his eyesbrows Shinichiro just thought it off as samuel being grumpy

"Good Morning big bro" mikey still in his pajamas greeted him

"Morning mikey" Lazily raising his eyes He went to his seat as Emma set up the food

"Morning bro" Emma cheerfully greeted 'Another death' avoiding eye contact Samuel nodded

After breakfast Samuel asked Shinichiro something he normally wouldn't "Shinichiro can I come over at your work place? I wanna learn" giving him a questioning look but he still accepted

2:30 pm

'His acting weird today' Shinichiro knew how samuel acted he was respectful kind and cheerful he never avoided eye contact with his family especially so Emma, If he had to guess samuel probably dotted on his little sister the most buying her presents rings necklaces food anything she wanted

"Shinichiro hold on I'll be right up with you" samuel quickly ran back into his room and wore a necklace almost the exact name as mikey's except it was a sun symbol, running back to Shinichiro who now knew why he went back they traveled all the way to his shop.

5 hours later

"...and that's how you fix the engine" covered with ash and smoke Shinichiro was explaining to a equally dirty samuel how to fix the engine of a motorcycle etc. "But what about this part"

genuinely curious samuel asked "oh that part is useless so have you got all that"

"Yep" popping the p samuel went to get some fresh water "Shinichiro wipe yourself off" giving him some towels the two siblings chatted

occasionally samuel would look at the stars he didn't know when baji and kazatora would break in but he knew it was somewhere around 8pm to 9pm "Shinichiro have you bought the new motorcycles for mikey" Shinichiro snorted in mock disdain "Ofcourse I did how could I forget about my little bros 13th birthday whatcha get him?" Shinichiro asked curious he didn't see samuel as often he had gotten a small time job

"I couldn't get anything expensive for him I got a jacket for him though" samuel smiled awkwardly he really forgot to prepare anything, over the last month the only thing he has been thinking of is Shinichiro's death,he barely even got any sleep last night because of it.

the jacket was a black oversized long sleeved shirt it had rose patterns on the bottom and shoulders and had the words "Throughout heaven and earth,I alone am the honoured one" written in kanji with blood red colors, he samuel had personally made this himself so he took pride in the fact mikey would definitely love it.

"Mikey will love that shirt he always likes oversized stuff" Smiling Shinichiro was going to say something else till he heard a thud as if someone was breaking in 'Shit their here' making eye contact for a second the brothers communicated with their eyes, "I'll go and check that out you call the police" samuel stood up and turned around.

"Don't get hurt"

Snorting in fake disdain "If I get hurt you won't even have the chance to worry" Shinichiro just smirked and went out the door he knows his brother more than anyone, that brat wouldn't die even he got shot,As soon as the door closed samuel slumped down the on chair, it was tiring knowing the future he wondered how takamitchi did it every day being not able to fight on top of that.

Turning on the lights samuel walked down the familiar corridor taking a deep breath he opened the door and yelled "WHOSE THERE" there he saw baji but no kazatora he knew where he was probably somewhere in the corridor "Baji?!what're you doing here" the intruder looked up "Samuel?! what're you doing here?" giving him a questioning look samuel replied with "This is Shinichiro's shop I was wor- "SAMUEL WATCH OUT KAZATORA STOP"

feeling the wind whistling behind him samuel moved his body to the left, dodging the pipe that would've spilt his head open, he spun on the heels of his feet in a blur, in an instant his legs had already made contact with kazatora's head a dull thump rang out the shop

he made sure to hold back Ofcourse he would only have minor injuries 'idiot...I always wanted to do that' "What the f**k is the meaning of this baji you idiots that motorcycle is for mikey" sighing deeply samuel wiped his eyes and slapped baji out of his shocked state "c'mon it's not your fault just...don't be an idiot like this again...both of you get up..."

Baji and kazatora with tears in there eyes repeatedly apologized and while samuel thought they were idiots it didn't mean he wasn't friends with them quickly forgiving them,

he called Shinichiro back in "Huh? so you two were the ones who broke in...and wanted to gift the bike I was going to gift mikey because you thought I was a random right...?" Almost mimicking samuel he also sighed deeply and rubbed his cheek, looking at their regretful faces Shinichiro didn't have the heart to scold them right now

shaking his head Shinichiro just smiled and forgave them they had good intentions so he couldn't blame them much "whatever but don't do this ever again or else, i heard samuel here needs a sparing partner" kazatora shivered when he heard that he still had stinging pain in his left cheek God damn does samuel hit hard

"I'll call mikey I need go give him his gift tonight...well big bro I'll go back home you can stay I need to wash up, kaza and Baji don't do stupid sh*t like this again." Running out the door samuel waved at them he needed to clean up and prepare with emma for the party.
