I seriously looked at him in the eyes, silenced covered us. I could see how anxious he was, clearly he didn't want me to hear that conversation. We were having a great time before we fall asleep, but why did I even hear that conversation

"Seijurou, you-"

As I was about to ask him, the flight attendant came over and asked if we wanted something to drink.

"Smoothie... to cool my head" I mumbled but I think she was taken aback from my response, "Ice tea is fine"

"I understand, how about Akashi-sama?"

"Same as hers"

As the flight attendant left to get our drinks, Seijurou looked at me and his face was confused. Should I ask or not? Should I wait for him or not?

But it will affect our trip so it's better to know everything now, right? Silence just engulfed us, and he was waiting for me to speak first.

Not long after, she returned with our drinks, though to be honest, I didn't have appetite for it. I just spouted it a while ago

"Then? Is something wrong? Did you see a nightmare or what?" Seijurou immediately asked when the flight attendant left. I looked at him in disbelief, and he was again taken aback "W-what?"

Is he trying to hide it?! Feigning ignorance?! Ibgathered all my courage and looked at him "Did you get drunk somewhere before and accidentally got someone pregnant?" 

"...!"

"You can answer you know, instead of looking at me like that-"

"No wait-"

"You can explain now-"

"Just where did you get that idea?!" He interrupted, raising his voiced, but then cleared his throat and sighed "sorry.. You really say unexpected words, (f/n). Again, where did you get that idea?" He asked but the tone of his voice, he really got irritated

"Just now..." I gazed away and in low voice "You were talking to someone with such sweet and caring voice, saying that you didn't expect it to happen, like you were worried of that person's health. So I thought because you didn't expect it to happen, you started an affair, but since it's your kid, you would tell me to accept it..."

"... just now...? AH! I'm talking to Kise though"

I looked at him in disbelief and raised my brow in annoyance "What? Are you telling me you are having an affair with Kise-kun?"

He sighed and he massaged the temple of his forehead, but I could see his lips curling into a smile

"It's a huge misunderstanding. Kise is drunk, so I am talking to him like that"

"That doesn't explain anything"

He tilted his head, puzzled to what I meant "Didn't you know the real Kise?"

"The real Kise? What is he like you? Like what they said that having a second persona or something? Also, you are talking to him in such caring and worried voice, as if he is your girlfriend or what. It doesn't the same on how you interact with him, you kept on teasing Kise-kun, so your reason is somehow unbelievable."

He laughed from what I said as he sipped on his ice tea first then explained "Well, we tease Kise to show him that we are his friends" He started but I still couldn't get it "If we don't, his real self will show. Kise is scary after all. He is scarier than me. I can show gentle expression during first meeting, but for Kise, if he doesn't like you during first meeting, he will show it. Kise will look at you with disgust, and as if he will kill you. He will not think twice with what he will tell you, and will insult you. But if he is okay with you, he is kind and you can tease him all you want. That's the proof that we care for him, and we are his friends."

"What is the connection of it of him being drunk?"

"We found out that if he is drunk, if you tease him, he will take it seriously and will lead to a fight. The first time that happened, he, Aomine, and Murasakibara had a big fight. Even if he is afraid of me, when he is drunk, he doesn't care about anyone. So when we had a drink the next time, we made sure to be kind and considerate to him."

"... sorry, I misunderstood. But then, you said you will take responsibility, and will tell me as well. You even told him to take care of his body and health. Your words were misleading"

"Ah.. he's been drinking and crying non-stop, and it's bad for his health." Seijurou sighed and I felt a menacing aura from him "Actually, he saw his girlfriend, cheating. That girlfriend, she is the daughter of one of my business partners. One time, when I was with her and her family, we saw Kise so I introduced them to each other. They went out for five years, but she cheated. Sadly, the third party is the man I introduced to her last year." He again sighed and took a sip of his ice tea "He was hurt, and everyone is with him right now, except me. That's why I am apologizing to him, and will take responsibility. It's not my fault that his ex cheated, but I felt responsible for introducing her to the third party." It was then he gripped on his glass, and his face was so scary "furthermore, cheating on my friend is absurd. She has guts, so I need to do something about it."

"I-I see... Now I feel bad that I jumped into conclusions. Is Kise okay now?"

"Yeah, I think. Kuroko and the others are there. Ah, and to what I will tell you, they are planning to hold a drinking party when we get home. So, I wanted to ask permission if we can do that in our house"

I tilted my head and blinked fast "Isn't it okay? I mean, it's your house" I told him but he made this very enigmatic smile, as if there's something hiding behind that smile "What?!"

"Nothing. I am just happy to see you getting jealous again, with a cute misunderstanding"

"I'm sorry... The words I heard, your tone of voice, they were misleading"

"It's totally fine. I am just surprised with that, but I think it was partially my fault for leading you into that conclusion. I didn't know that you haven't heard about Kise" He chuckled then sighed "but to think you would jump into that conclusion. We even had a nice talk before we sleep."

"Sorry... I didn't interact much with Kise-kun, and well, had no interest to other man aside you. Again I'm sorry that I jumped into conclusions."

I heard him chuckled again, then extended his glass of ice tea towards me "What you said just now turned me on. Well then, a toast to close this small argument" I got my glass and we had a toast "case closed"

"What the heck is that" I chuckled but really felt embarrassed to what I did to him just now.

"But then your mood swing is really surprising. I need to get used to it"

"I'm not usually like this though. But recently, even for a little stuffs, I'm getting irritated, but then not long after, I'm okay. I'm sorry about that"

"Hmmmm, I wonder why"

I also wonder why. But anyways, I am glad it was a misunderstanding on my side. I didn't know what should I do if it turns out to be true. Also, it was a surprised that Kise-kun is like that. I thought that they like him less to be their friend, but turned out they care for him, and also scared of him.

I'm quite curious now how the scary Kise-kun looks like, but I am more curious of Seijurou's second persona. But he said he was long gone. Should I ask him to re-enact him once?

For the rest of the flight to Denver, Seijurou and I were awake. Hina woke up at 5 in the morning in Japan time, and Seijurou was again amazed how Hina idle for 10 minutes until she fully grasped what's going on around her.

We ate breakfast together, and an hour before our arrival, snacks again were served.

When we arrived, we had 2 hours of layover. I thought we were going to wait in some bench near the next gate, but Seijuro led us somewhere, and to my surprise, it's a lounge for first class passengers. We were served with first class dish and beverages again while waiting.

~

The flight from Denver to Orlando took almost 4 hours, and after a long flight, we finally arrived in Orlando. A car was waiting for us, and it took about 20 minutes for us to arrive in a house close to Disney world.

When we arrived, it was already night, and we were dead tired. But even though we were tired, we couldn't sleep because of the time zone so the three of us ended up watching some movies. Ah, also, when we arrived, Seijurou called Kise-kun and the others but seemed like they were still sleeping.

~

Next day, we woke up nearly lunch, but

"Hina is still sleeping?" I asked Seijurou, who was yawning as he got out of the room

"Yeah, she's still sleeping like a log in our room. She slept too much during the flight, and she is still sleeping. Just how much sleep she needs?"

"Let her sleep, it's her first time plus she needs to adjust. We have lots of time"

"No, we need to go out and enjoy our time here in Florida, we only have limited time. She can do that when we arrived in California" He responded and I looked at him in disbelief "what?"

"Don't tell me, we'll go to Disney World in California next? And during this trip?" I asked and he smiled victoriously "you really are crazy"

He then approached me and caged me in a tight embrace

"Seijurou? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just we need to wake Hina and let's enjoy our time during the day. And we need to enjoy more during the night, so Hina will sleep on her room here"

I chuckled as I hugged him back

"What's wrong?" He asked but I shook my head "What's wrong, my dear wife?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to do this. Recharging" I chuckled and embraced him more "you really are crazy"

I also didn't know why, but I just wanted him to hug me like this, just the two of us. To me, I am also looking forward to it.

~

Our trip to Florida lasted for 4 days, then we spent our remaining vacation in California. We went not just to both Disney world, but also places near Florida and California. The three of us enjoyed our time together, without being conscious of the people around us.

Seijurou was right, they were trying to contact him about works, but it was only through emails. He read them during our flight back to Japan.

I was thinking why Seijurou chose America, but I fully grasped the situation when we were on our way back. He was right about work, but I understand that in Japan, all eyes were on him, wanting to know his activities. In America instead, we didn't worry anything, forgot our problems, and we had fun during our vacation.

~skip time~

"We went to America with two just luggage for the three of us, why we came home with four more luggage?" I questioned as I pushed a luggage cart with 3 luggage, and a bagpack, while Seijurou pushed another cart with three luggage on it, and Hina sitting on top of the luggage, hugging his minnie mouse plushie that is half of her size.

"I also don't know why we ended up with these much of stuffs." Seijurou responded and chuckled as he looked at this kid giggling on top of the luggage "We bought souvenirs for our friends, family, and for ourselves, but I think most of it were from-"

"I can't wait to go home and play."

"Anyways, let's go home. It's still 2 in the afternoon, so we have lots of time to rest for today." I told them but I noticed how Seijurou smirked as he continued walking "Seijurou?"

"Let's go. Nikaido is waiting at the parking lot already."

"Will there be enough space for these?" I worriedly asked and he nodded

"I messaged him before our flight, and asked him to bring the van instead so we have enough space for these stuffs, and the remaining ones as well"

"Remaining ones?" I questioned but...

"Ah, no nothing. Anyways let's go" he dodged it, he obviously dodged it!

"Are you still hiding something, Seijurou?" I suspiciously asked him, and this guy here made a big wide smile "What's with that smile?!"

"Well, well, you'll know. It's not yet complete, but it's already available"

"What is it?"

"You'll see" he winked then continued walking

He is hiding something again!

~

We met with Nikaido-san at the arrival area, then he led us to the parking lot where the van was. It was indeed a van, a black Toyota Sienna.  But... inside, there are more luggage. Are we going somewhere again?

Without saying anything, we were led inside the van, and left the airport. Seijurou sat on the passenger seat, then Hina and I sat at the back seat.

The car continued driving, and it was heading somewhere I wasn't familiar with.

~

And after an hour, we stood in front of a high two-storey house. I roamed my eyes around and we are in a very quiet neighborhood, not much of houses around, seems a new property? I turned my eyes back to the house, and the exterior of this house is quite breathtaking. There's a veranda on the left side 2nd floor's and it's on top of the garage. There's also a veranda on the right side. I could see the living room from the wall-sized glass window on the right.

Wait...
Before I admire this house...!

"Seijurou, where are we?!"

"Where you ask?" He carried Hina then wrapped his arm around my waist "we are in our own house"

"Huh...?"

"From now on, our family will be living here."

His words surprised us, opening a new chapter of our family in this new house.
