Akio nodded in understanding, but furrowed his eyebrows, "Your parents don't help you?" He asked her curiously. He was pretty sure the only reason Kavi was still standing on his own two feet after MinKyon was born was because of their parent's help. He realized how personal he was being in asking that question and sucked in air through his teeth. "Sorry, you don't have to answer if you don't want to." He muttered to her.

Ocean shook her head she wasn't good at explaining. It was always her downfall, explaining and giving directions. "My mum tries to help out but there's a lot of us living at home. And I'm trying to be independent ya know? So mum always offers to watch Sadie and Silas while I go back to school. Or pay for day care. But I don't want to leave them." Ocean said, feeling the sadness in her heart getting stronger with each word she said. Their dad didn't care about them no more, he said he always would but that was a lie. Holding back the tears she didn't want to start crying on some guy she had started talking too. "Maybe one day I'll go back to school so I can finish and show these two that finishing school is very important. Cause everyone needs to finish school to get far in life right?"

Akio nodded, his face solemn until he realized she had asked him a question. "Oh, yeah. Kyon," He pointed to the little girl now playing with another girl on the slide. "She's my twin brother's kid. Born when we were fourteen..." He hesitated only slightly before continuing, "luckily," He began, trying not to put too much stress on the word, "Our parents were able to help us, and so he was able to finish school." He smiled to Ocean, "Don't worry, even in your bleakest moments, you'll find a way out and things will get better." He assured her, not sure where the random words of wisdom came from.

"that's very true" Ocean aggreed with Akio she hadn't really ask him a question they where more rhetorical but none the less she was happy that he'd put thought into her questions and answered her. "I think I just want the twins to be happy and right now they get clingy when I leave them. After all they are only 8 months old. Maybe once they turn one I'll be happy enough to leave them for a full day so I can return to school. Even if I am nearly two years behind everyone else." Ocean smiled. "so do you look after your neice often? You seem good with her"

Akio nodded, "I'm sure they'll become more independent as they get older." He assured her. He looked over to MinKyon again. "Um... sometimes. My brother was practically dead asleep today so I thought I'd take her to the park." He laughed slightly as he returned his attention to Ocean. "I'm her only biological uncle, I think that's why I have such a close relationship with her." He added, leaning against the back of the bench and stretching out his legs. He looked up at the sky, "even though you'll be behind, I think you'll really appreciate being able to return to school."

"Yes I'm sure they will" Ocean agreed. They where pretty independent for their age when it came to meal times other than a bottle they would insist that they feed themselves. But she didn't think Akio would be that interested in the likes of her kids. Well not her boring on and on about that. "Yes kids can sometimes take it out of you. I know a few nights I've gone to sleep at 5pm when I've settled these two and had a nap and been flat out until they've woken up again. Sometimes they sleep all the way till morning other times they don't. Normally when they are teething or just poorly" Ocean said realising she was banging on about her kids again. When she just thought that she wasn't going to bang on about them. "I'm sorry." Ocean smiled, "I don't mean to go on about them so much. I'm just not big on talking about myself. Been ages since I've had any social interaction other than my brothers and sisters. And they know everything about me so talking about Silas and Sadie its kind of the thing I always do."

Akio shook his head and smiled warmly, "It's alright, I understand. My brother tends to do the same thing. Don't worry, I'm used to it." He assured her. With a small laugh, he added, "In fact, Kyon's only my niece but I tend to talk about her all the time, too."

"that's good then" Ocean smiled, putting Silas into the pushchair. He was just about asleep and it would be harder to put him down if he fell asleep in her arms. "so how old is Kyon?" Ocean asked she wasn't sure if he had said how old she was. She had a memory like a siv these days. Letting out a small sigh as she watched Silas's eyes close, it wasn't often they both where asleep together during the day. The fresh air must have done wonders for them, and it was making her feel realxed she just wished she brought something for herself to eat as she felt her stomach rumble a little bit. It was nearly dinner time afterall and she didn't like to eat too late. She wondered if she should invite akio round and his niece or would that be a little creepy since they had only met a little while ealier.

Akio smiled, "She'll be four pretty soon, as she loves to remind everyone." He joked lightly. He heard er stomach grumble, and his own stomach made a slight noise to tell him he was also hungry. "Hey, you wanna get dinner somewhere? I hear the diner's good." He suggested.

"That's rather sweet. But I'm sure we all where the same when we was her age. Reminding everyone of how old we were going to be on our next birthday." Ocean smiled. ''Erm I have to get Sadie and Silas back home but you can come round and I'll make use some sandwiches? I live in guest house at my mums, so really need to get home and sort the twins dinner out plus I haven't got any cash on me" Ocean said, wondering if she sounded a bit like a weirdo asking someone she had just met round to her house. Sitting with a confused look on her face as she pondered over what she had just said. ''I mean that in the least creepest way. Asking you round for something to eat. Don't think I'm some weirdo as I'm far from that" Ocean giggle, a proper giggle at something she had said. It seemed a while since she felt brave enough to do such a thing.

Akio smiled, making a joke of thinking it over. "Let's see, some stranger invites me over to her house to eat sandwiches she'll make..." He looked back at her and smiled, letting out a small laugh first. "What the hell? Why not? I accept your offer, less money for me to spend."

Ocean let out a small giggle when she realised he was only teasing her about her invite. Well at least that's what she hoped was going on. "So you ready to set off now?" Looking at her watched she realised the twins had been sleeping for a while and the walk home was around ten minutes so by the time it would take for them to walk to hers, for her to make something for them to eat and heat the twins food it would nearly be time to wake them to eat. At least she had cable so Kyon could watch the children's TV channels if she was to get bored. She just hoped there was something fitted for her age she rarely watched TV these days was always too much to get done in the house. She was glad she had cleaned up the pervious night so the guest house wasn't messy at all. Standing up and stretching out Ocean let out a small sigh of relief. "Ready when you are" she smiled placing her hands on the handles of the pushchair as she waited for Akio to say he was ready.

Akio stood up and stretched. "Kyon!" He called to his niece as he adjusted his shirt. The little girl came over. "What is it?" She asked him, immediately grabbing his hand. "We're going to eat at our new friends' house tonight, okay?" Akio told her, kneeling down to talk with her at eye level. "Shouldn't we tell daddy?" MinKyon asked innocently. "You grandma knows I have you, don't worry." He assured her before standing up again, ruffling her hair. He turned back to Ocean. "Okay, you ready?" He asked her, grabbing MinKyon's hand as she tried to run off. She pouted and muttered, "Oh, you mean now?"

Ocean smiled as she watched Akio speaking to his niece. He seemed really good with her which made her smile even more and think maybe she should let her family help out a little more than what she had been allowing. she even might be able to start studying again in September. But that was still a good few months away so she didn't need to worry or think about that right now. Shaking her head slightly bringing herself back to reality she noticed that Kyon was tRying to run off which made her chuckle, her youngest siblings where around that age now and she knew they was always up to stuff like that with her mum. "So you guys ready?" Ocean asked as she heard Kyon asked if they where going now, as Akio hadn't replied she thought she might as well ask. She didn't want to seem like she had an OCD she just liked everything to be done ontime the way she had planned it out in her head when she had asked Akio to come round for something to eat.

Akio nodded, "Ready." He confirmed for her, obliging to MinKyon as she asked for a piggy back ride. "Is your house nearby?" He asked Ocean curiously, waving cutely as he noticed one of the twins staring at him.
