Southern Cross Boys Monastery
It was a quiet and peaceful night at the Monastery, everyone inside long since asleep, well all except one. one of the doors in the monastery slowly creaked open as a small child with blue hair peeked his head out. This boy was Rin Okumura, the eldest of the Okumura twins. Seeing that the coast was clear, he took a deep breath and exited his and his twin's bedroom, slowly closing the door behind so as not to alert/awaken his twin Yukio. Once the door to their room was closed, Rin slowly crept his way through the monastery, making sure to go over and dodge all the creaky floorboards, and to the back entrance of the monastery. As he reached the door, he made sure that no one was behind him, nor awake, before gently opening the door and making his way outside.
Now you might be wondering why a child (Rin is 7) has gone/snuck out in the middle of the night, well it was a few things that made him do so. You see, for the past few months, Rin’s Father Fujimoto along with Rin’s younger Twin brother Yukio, have started to go on excursions. Just the two of them, leaving Rin behind with the other priests at the monastery. Now Rin isn’t a clingy person, he is glad that his brother and father have their own adventures, but he just wished that they would at least try to invite him along every once in a while. These excursions used to only be 3-4 times a month, once a week, but now they have started going on these excursions at least 2-3 times a week.
Rin once tried asking to join them, quite a few times actually, especially since they started to happen more frequently. Sometimes His twin and Father Fujimoto would go on excursions after the school day finished or for the entire weekend, sometimes even both. Each time Rin asked to join, he would be shot down and gently told that he would get his own excursions with Father Fujimoto along with Yukio the next time. Rin would beam happily, but after about 6 months, they never did, and he just stopped asking altogether. It hurt him deeply, that his father and his own twin brother would just ignore him. and tonight was the breaking point for him.
Tonight his Father just announced that himself and Yukio would be going on a 4 day excursion, the longest one yet. This time he decided to ask one more time, to see if he could go on one of these excursions and spend time with the both of them. They flatly denied and said the exact same thing they always did.
“Sorry not this time Rin, but i promise you, next we will go on one all together,” Father Fujimoto said, that just caused Rin to snap, cursing at the both of them, shocking everyone in the monastery. before any of them could react Rin just went to his room, wishing both of them “Another great fucking family excursion without me” before heading to his room and slamming the bedroom closed, both Fujimoto and Yukio tried to apologize, only for Rin to respond.
“Just ignore me like you both been doing for the past couple of months, it's much easier than making those hollow ass promises about bringing me along,” he snaps, silencing them both and goes back under the covers, ignoring them, even as they both promised that they would make it up to him, which he highly doubted. The rest of the evening dragged on for everybody, the monks and priests along with Fujimoto and Yukio tried to get Rin to come out from under the covers. but to no avail. Once night rolled in, everyone made their way to bed, a heavy pressure remained in the air for everyone.
Now back to the present, Rin exited the door of the monastery, the sky was still dark. A few stars and the moon lighting up the streets. Taking a deep breath of the dewy air, Rin let out a heavy sigh before starting his walk. Once he was out of the monastery walls, he started grumbling to himself, letting his feet guide him to a place to cool his head.
“Stupid 4 eyes, Stupid old fart, always leaving me behind, nagging me about getting into fights. It's not like I’m trying to start them, I’m just trying to protect stupid 4 eyes from the bullies. Lets see what they both say once i stop,” Rin grumbles lowly, kicking a random stone on the street.
“I’m trying to do everything they ask, so-so much, why isn’t it enough.” he continues, his mind somewhat calming down, leaving a weird aching sadness to take over where the anger used to be.
“why...why cant they just...just understand. understand that I’m doing my best, trying everything they tell me, why can't they... why can't they just bring me along.” Rin’s voice gains a watery tone to it as his eyes start to fill with tears and begin to streak down his face. After about 20-30 minutes of aimlessly walking the streets, he soon arrived at a park on the other side of town. Making his way towards the swings, he gently sits down and just gently sways himself back and forth on it letting his mind and emotions work themselves out. He had remained sitting on the swings for the past 3-4 hours, the sun slowly rising up into the sky. Seeing this Rin stands up off of the swing and gets ready to make his way back to the monastery, when he notices something shiny glinting on the ground. curious he makes his way towards the object, and sees that it was some kind of sapphire blue plastic. The object was buried under some dirt and sand, leaving only a few centimeters to pop up.
“what is this…” Rin mumbles, kneeling to the ground and starts to dig out the object, finally noticing what it was.
“Isn't this a flip phone?” he mumbles again, lifting the phone up off the ground, dusting it off. He starts checking the flip phone all over, seeing that there weren’t any kind of scratches on it, or any sort of damage on it. It looked like it was just out of the box, except for some of the excess dirt he continued to dust off. The front of the phone lights up, showing some kind of symbols that he didn’t understand. moving his hand, his fingers accidentally press down onto a button at the top left side of the phone's hinge, flipping it open. Once it flipped open a bright light flashed from the screen, nearly blinding Rin, who yelps and drops the flip phone to the ground as he himself falls onto his ass, trying to shield his eyes from the light. After a few seconds the light dimmed, allowing Rin to uncover his eyes, blinking rapidly to rid them of the blurriness from the bright light. Once he could see properly again, he looked around trying to regain himself, before stilling as he took notice of something standing infront of him, holding out a completely white hand towards him.
“Hee-ho, A new friend Hoo, Pleasure to meet you Master Hee-Ho.”
