A lazy Saturday morning, with nothing out of ordinary, people hustling around phones on their ears, eyes on the path ahead, no time for trivialities or nature.

Haruka didn't understand on such a lazy day instead of relaxing in a bathtub, why was he in this particular car traveling in that particular direction which lead to his house?

He had prepared everything, his old dolphin charm floating around lazily in warm bath water, a new ocean salts bath bomb was sitting neatly on the shelf near the bath tub. He had put just one foot in, that the door bell rang. Thinking he will deal with the annoying visitor first and, then enjoy a long soak in bath tub, was clearly a mistake. If only, he had known that the visitor would be no other than Nanase's household most trusted Sasabe san, who was lovingly referred as Goro chan, blending in the rich neighborhood with his suit and tie on.

He should have definitely taken that soak before opening the door.

But as the fate would have it, haruka was being whisked away with, a lot of reluctance on his part and even greater persistence on Goro chan's part to his family house.

He particularly didnt hate his family per say but Haruka hated every aspect of being related to Nanase name. Growing up he didn't have many friends, it was either kids expecting money fountains out of him or trying to sabotage him because of family name. But he didn't care much either, he had two of the world's most amazing gems as his friends who looked out for him, even when he didnt ask them.

Makoto tachibana was a descendant of either an angel or tachibana family was just blessed with an angel because how good they were. Tachibana family was a close friend and a trusted business partner of Nanase family. It helped that Makoto was a kind child and had accepted Haruka's selfishness and reserve nature as part of him and never questioned or complained about it. They had been best friends since they were 4 or 5. They chose same schools, same clubs and even same apartment complex in the same city and to this day, if asked, Haruka wont be able to answer, "how he would have managed without Makoto?"

Aki Yazaki, on the other hand, was a force to be reckoned with, extremely preceptive, kind and a sweet person with a good head on her shoulders. She would act fast when in troubled situation and would fight for her friends and would often nag Haruka on relaying on friends. He knew she looked up to him, but he also knew she was the kind of person who would act around him same, if she didn't.

Haruka was still busy mauling over his dislike for his family name that suddenly his mind started catching words or rather -

" - ster? -ng master? Young Master?"

"Yes, Goro Chan?"

"Do you wish to eat breakfast, i know you don't usually eat before taking a bath and seeing you were still?"

"Can't we just skip the part where I have to meet dad and you can just drop me home?"

"But, I AM dropping you home, your actual home young master"

"Hmph, fine, I would rather like an appetizing breakfast. I wonder how many restaurant we have to skip around before we find mackerel in breakfast menu."

"Young master, you are intentionally being difficult now."

"Of course"

Haruka got out of the sleek black car and went inside the nearest cafe without even looking up at the name.
