Chapter 7 - New Life

Sora was standing infront of his house carrying bags of his clothes and a picture of him with his parents. He stood there silently as Eraser, Mic and Nezu were watching him, with a car behind them, Sora was only carrying 1 bag since the rest of his stuff were already at the apartment including his instruments, luckily the apartment was big enough for them.

"Are you sure this was a good idea?" Mic asked

"I hope so.. it's not like we can take back our words now, The UA Entrance Exam is a week away and we need to finish our preparations as soon as possible" Eraser said as he remembers the talk with Sora a few days ago, Sora was mad thinking he won't be able to have his family name anymore if he gets adopted but Mezu managed to calm him down saying that he doesn't have to change anything he doesn't want to, He could even stay at his parents home if he ever needed space or if he ever missed his parents, Nezu just wishes that He lives with Eraser and Mic as their son so he'd at least have someone to comeback to and call a home, call a family and after much consideration, Sora reluctantly agreed.

Sora turned around and talked towards Eraser, Mic and Nezu "Let's go, shall we?" Sora said with a small smile on his face as He, Eraser, Mic and Nezu started walking to the car and got inside, driving away as Sora was thinking 'This isn't a goodbye.. It's a see you later.. so see you later Mama, Papa'

The drive was a long silent one, Nezu was the one driving, Mic was on the passenger seat, Eraser was asleep and Sora was listening to music on his headset, No one spoke as they arrived at an apartment complex near UA, where all the UA teachers stay at.

"We're here" Mic said as he got out, Sora took his headphones off and Eraser wokenup as soon as the car stopped, They got out as Nezu was still inside.

"I apologize, I still have some work to do but, Higurashi-kun, I look forward to your performance at the UA Entrance Exam" Nezu said, surprising Eraser and Mic.

"Thanks Principal Nezu, See you later? I guess" Sora smiled and waved as Nezu drove of, going to UA, Sora then turned around to see a surprised Eraser and Mic.

"What..?" Sora said in a confused tone.

"Your taking the Entrance Exam at UA?!" They both said in unison, suprising Sora.

"Yes..? Is there a problem with it?" Sora said as he walked to them "Let's go to the apartment please?"

"Uh.. Right! Yeah.. Let's go" Mic said as He, Eraser and Sora walked inside, going to their apartment in the middle of the complex building, right next to Vlad King's and Midnight's apartments.

Sora walked inside Mic's and Eraser's apartment and looked around, seeing that the room had a mix of black and yellow as a color pattern as he felt two cats on his legs, rubbing themselves on his legs.

"Um.. Hello there?" Sora said as he sat down and started petting the cats, one was black and white with blue eyes and the other was an orange cat with brown eyes.

Mic went to the kitchen to make lunch while Eraser went to Sora and sat down next to him. "They already like you..? They usually take a while before they like anyone.."

"It's a natural talent, All types of animals like me, even wild or dangerous animals, I remember this one time I accidentally fell into the tiger's enclosure at the zoo when we went on a school field trip, I wasn't afraid but I was hurt by the fall, as soon as the tigers got near me everyone thought I was going to get attacked but instead I was takes into their cave and treated like I was one of their cubs-" Sora then looked at Eraser who had stars in his eyes, listing carefully, Sora then looked at Mic who said.

"Tigers are giant cats, Shota really likes cats and the cat's names are Oreo and Pumpkin, for obvious reasons" Mic continue cooking lunch as Sora looked back at Eraser. "Makes sense, do you want to hear more cat stories of mine, Mr Aizawa?"

"Yes and you can just call me Shota or Dad, since I'm technically going to be your dad now" Eraser said as Sora smiled awkwardly, kind of happy that he gets to have a Dad again.

Mic saw this and smiled, he yelled out "If that's the case then call me Hizashi or Dad, since I'm also going to be your dad! Also lunch is ready!" Hizashi finished cooking curry, onigiri and miso soup, placing them on the dining table as Shota and Sora got up and walked towards the dining table, still talking about cats as they sat down with Mic as he joined the two and started talking about cats.

As Sora, Shota and Hizashi started eating, still talking about cats, Sora started crying, worrying both Shota and Hizashi as they stopped eating and went to Sora who didn't even realize that he was crying.

"I.. Uh.. I'm sorry.. I.. I guess I missed having a happy family.. I missed eating a warm meal.. much more than I realized.. I didn't even realize that I was crying.." Sora said as he wiped his tears away just as Shota and Hizashi hugged him, the both of them kind of happy to hear that Sora already sees them as a family. Sora started crying more as he hugged them, having a little family moment, Sora kind of wishing that their little moment doesn't ever stop.

As soon as Sora finished crying, Sora, Shota and Hizashi continued eating lunch and talking about cats, Sora finished first and excused himself, saying he want to go to his room and decorate but to his surprise Shota and Hizashi already decorated his room for him, He was greatful as he puts his plate away on the sink, going to his room that had his name on the door.

Sora walked inside his new room, leaving the door open and saw that it had a music theme as he looked around, seeing his instruments around the room, a study desk, a walk in closet, and more, He puts his family photo and bag of clothes on the desk as he walked to the balcony, seeing the view of the sunset, he stared in awe as felt like singing, He had a somber look on his face as he started singing, just as Shota and Hizashi walked in.

"Take a moment to think of just

Flexibility, love, and trust~

Take a moment to think of just

Flexibility, love, and trust~

Here comes a thought that might alarm you..

What someone said and how it harmed you..

Something you did, that failed to be charming..!

Things that you said are suddenly swarming!

And, oh, you're losing sight, you're losing touch..

All these little things seem to matter so much

That they confuse you..

That I might lose you..

Take a moment, remind yourself

To take a moment and find yourself~

Take a moment to ask yourself

If this is how we fall apart?

But it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not!

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay!

You've got nothing, got nothing, got nothing, got nothing to fear!

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here~"

As Shota and Hizashi listened to Sora singing, They smiled and both walked up to him, putting their hands on his shoulder, Sora was suprised but he continued singing as he placed his hands on theirs.

"Here comes a thought that might alarm me!

Things that I said are suddenly swarming!

And, oh, I'm losing sight, I'm losing touch..

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay!

I've got nothing, got nothing, got nothing, got nothing to fear!

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here~

And it was just a thought, just a thought, just a thought, just a thought, just a thought

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

We can watch, we can watch, we can watch, we can watch them go by

From here, from here, from here~"

It was as if on que, The clouds disappeared and they saw the sunset, a beautiful orange glow hitting the three off them, as if the world was listening to Sora's singing, Trying to tell him that he'd be just fine.

"Take a moment to think of just

Flexibility, love, and trust

Take a moment to think of just

Flexibility, love, and trust~"

Sora finished singing as Shota and Hizashi hugged him, just as Sora started crying again but this time, it was tears of happiness.
