"Heading to the park to draw?" The blonde male asked pointing at the sketchbook she's holding which she looked at for a second then back to the person, looking all puzzled.
"It's only been a day since you left the hospital and you're already out looking for something to draw." He continued, a subtle smile on his pretty face despite having a burn scar on the left side of his eye.
"Excuse me." [Y/n] spoke with a troubled expression. "But, who are you..?" She asked with a little bit of hesitancy in a polite tone.
They both looked at each other without exchanging any words for a brief moment. To be honest, [Y/n] felt uncomfortable but she's not gonna lie that the person looked really pretty...yeah, that's not enough reason for her anxiety to just leave the door.
The person's a practical stranger after all. Who knows, he might even be some creep despite his pretty appearance.
"...I didn't heard any news of you having amnesia." He uttered which only made the girl to look at him all confused again as she also didn't hear that she has any amnesia or whatever from the doctor.
"Neither have I." [Y/n] sheepishly answered before going silent again as she ponders about the weird feeling of forgetting something and that familiar blue haired guy as well as the two guys on her sketchbook... and himself, too.
"Actually, you might be right about that." She immediately took back her words as a bead of sweat trailed down her face.
"Huh?"
And so, here were the two young teens at the park. [Y/n] and Seishu Inui, as the young man introduced himself before they finally crossed the road and went to said place after a moment of silence and staring into each other again.
"The doctor said that I was completely fine and so was my results after getting those many tests." [Y/n] chattered beside Inui.
"Maybe he's a quack." The blond comments seriously which earned a weird look from the girl.

"The hospital wouldn't even accept someone like that if he were to be one, you know..." she interjects with a small sigh as Inui shrugs his shoulders.
"Who knows, maybe he's got someone powerful to back him up?"
"You know what?" [Y/n] trails. "Let's not talk about it anymore." With her words, she opened her sketchbook and started to draw lines while looking at Seishu back and forth.
"Why not?" He asks with a tilted head. "This is serious and needs to be talked right now." He says, brows furrowed slightly. "As a matter of fact, how about we go to a different hospital and get your brain che– Are you seriously drawing me right now?"
"Why not?" [Y/n] copied his words. "As an artist, I must draw the beauty that caught my eyes." She casually said before looking up with a grin on her face making Inui to turn his head without saying anything as he kept on a straight face.
"Oh, come on!" She huffed out. "I know I've probably drawn you many times but it's just because you're so pretty, you know!" Clasping her hands together, [Y/n] tries her best to do a cute puppy eyes effect on him.
Seishu lets out a small groan as he knows himself that he'll give up eventually. She just doesn't know the effect she has on him.
Earlier, if he hadn't turned his head instantly, maybe [Y/n] would've caught the red hue spreading across his cheeks as he knows that his face was already burning hot just from seeing that so called stupid smile.
Inupi has a soft spot for [Y/n] but he refuses to acknowledge it.
"Let me just draw you for a bit. Pretty please with a cherry on top, Inui-san?" His thoughts were caught off at the name that was used and before he even knew it, his brows were furrowed.
"W-What's wrong?" The female asked, now finding him a bit intimidating as she thinks that she must've annoyed him.

"Inui-san?" He repeated, the formal calling of his name made him feeling something negative despite being his last name.
"Oh, does that make you uncomfortable?" She blinked her eyes, finding it unbelievable that his mood immediately shifted just because of being called like that.
[Y/n] assumes that maybe he just hates his family's name..?
"Uhh, Do I call you by your first name then?" Inupi stared at her and with his intense gaze made [Y/n] feel like he was drilling holes into her face.
Inui doesn't usually hesitate to say whatever comes in mind yet he's doing it right now. He's asking himself right now if he's sick or something.
"Sei..?" [Y/n] muttered, unsure yet at the same time sure she called him the correct way. "I call you that don't I?" She asked, eye that seemed to be sparkling looked straight into his.
"You're not saying anything. Am I correct or no? I feel like I'm correct, though." She hummed while scratches the back of her head.
"Sei, Sei, Sei!" [Y/n] suddenly chanted happily and the reaction she got from him was a frowning yet red face.
"Picture." She uttered then instantly went on to drawing while the image of Inui's cute expression is still fresh in her mind.
"Seriously.." He sighed out while running a hand through his blond locks. "Even if you forgot about me, you still act the same." Seishu mumbled to himself while watching [Y/n]'s focused face, a smile finding its way to his pretty feature.
"I'm glad.."
"Huh, what was that?" She asked with a curious gaze. "Nothing. I thought you said I was pretty but why do I look ugly in here?" Inui asked, smoothly changing the subject which worked as he saw [Y/n] scoff and frown...somewhat finding her adorable.
"I'm still starting!" She exclaimed while he just had the corner of his lips tugged upwards.
"Sure." Was all he said that made her infuriated. He's enjoying himself right now. Can't blame him, he actually missed this kind of interaction with her.
"Don't tell my parents, okay?" The female said while walking beside Inui who was accompanying her back home. "I'm sure it's only temporary since I could still find you familiar and remember a few things...maybe spending time with you and the people I forgot would make it go back." She flashed him a smile.
"I've already made them worry too much after all." [Y/n] waves her hand. "Thanks for walking me back home and also for today." In a sweet voice she said along with a heartwarming smile.
"Be careful on your way, Sei." Inui watches [Y/n] give him one last wave of her hand before entering her home.
"It's not like they were the only ones who were worried.." he mumbled after her figure completely disappeared out of his sight which made him to start walking away.
Inui suddenly recalled [Y/n]'s smiling face along with the sound of her voice calling his name in genuine happiness making his stomach to feel those butterflies whilst his face felt hot.
"...Am I sick?"

"Welcome home."
"Welcome back!"
Both [Y/n]'s mother and little brother greeted back almost at the same time. Akio hopped down on his seat while their mother continued on with the cooking.
"Dad's not home yet?" The teen asked as her little brother walked around her, seemingly checking if his big sister's injured or not and when he was done, he nodded his head looking all proud.
"As expected of my powers." He said to himself which only made [Y/n] to chuckle and ruffle his hair.
"Traffic's holding him back." Their mother replied with a sigh and before she could tell her daughter another thing, her son beat her to it.
"The Dragon Ken and his mighty master came here to visit you earlier!" He informed with sparkling eyes at the mention of those two names and [Y/n] could only simply smile at the information.
'Dragon Ken and his mighty master who?'
