A soft sigh escaped the lips of the fifteen-year-old Shiba Takeru when his alarm clock threw him out of the comfort of his dreams. It was getting good, and he was just about to enjoy the bliss of those hormonal delusions that most boys his age would have on a regular basis; however, seeing that the time was a quarter to six, he figured he would need to prepare himself for the day ahead. Any more lounging around and he would risk being late for school and decimating his record of flawless attendance. Something he was sure his mother would not approve of.
Languidly leaving his bedside, he checked himself through the mirror in appraisal. Despite his young age as a Freshman he appeared physically more like a student in his junior year, something that he would have to thank his father’s genetics being a Japanense-American, and more so for establishing his charming features due to his father’s genetics. Silver hair barely covered his eyes, those strange amber hues that needed the constant protection of his glasses or contacts for his sight, and the lean, muscular frame that built a full five-feet and ten-inches of young man. He was sure that in a year or two he’d hit a growth spurt and make it passed six-feet…he hoped.
However, that was probably the only good thing about his father that he sympathized with. The divorce was over five years ago and still affected his mother and him; something that he could never forgive the man for. He left her when the finances became hard on his mother’s end, being a stay at home father, and even worse was cheating on her with her best friend for half of their marriage leaving behind a broken, shattered woman for a young boy to help restore. Shiba devoted the next five years of his life to being the best son he could be whether it was holding her during her fits of tears, giving her small massages during stressful days, to working two jobs and balancing school work to help make ends meat (while struggling to keep up his grades and martial arts)…he gave himself to his mother completely. She was all he had, and he was all she had. He would do anything to keep her smiling.
Shaking his head from his thoughts he decided to go into his morning routine. He brushed his teeth, prepared his clothes for the coming day, and then made his way into the hallway with a set of towels for a shower. “Morning mom, I’ll be down for breakfast after I shower!” Little did he know that she was waiting, listening, and thinking of everything but a small breakfast before taking her ‘little boy’ to school. Little did he know that this would be the start of a relationship very different than what he was used to…
