Shiki had been up for so long working on a his city shops. When a few people came to know on the door. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. Getting a slight head ache due to lack of sleep probably. 

"hey, we wanted to come in and check on you. You've been quiet Arianna died. You good man?" Brent asked. 

"yes, thank you, I'm just tired is all. I'm trying to build a sweet shop, I figured you all would like it." he said softly. 

Then suddenly glitter was shot around his office and Brent stamped a dildo to his desk. He raised a brow, when suddenly the others came in. "We got your back, you know this right?" Annabella said. 

"yes, it's kinds hard not to notice when Brent's and Sosas arm is wrapped around my neck." Shiki smirked. 

"Well youre our brother. Besides we know you'd you make sacrifices that no one know about. So ignore the others nd do as you usually do. Listen you did what needed to be done. I know you didn't like it. But it needed to be done. So just do what you know, and keep that predator look in your eyes and we'll walk along side you. We are in this together brother. Family is all or nothing. Besides spikes over there kept bugging us to see you." Brent said, although he was serious, he a slight teasing undertone. 

"You can let him in, I'm not hiding or snything, im sure he brought the others, just to say nonsense." Shiki said, they snickered. 

"Oh come on you're kohai needs you. You're his teacher." SpikeS teased as he walked in. 

"Not my senpai, stop speaking nonsense. Besides they might get creeper out. Anyways what are you guys doing here." Shiki asked.

"Well we came to witness something and to give you a gift. After all we wouldn't be baddasses, if we couldn't pull this off." Shiki raised a brow, looking between everyone confused. 

"Brent you have five seconds to tell me what are they talking about before I stamp this dildo to you're forehead." Shiki threatened, in a teasing manner. 

"ah, ladies and gentlemen , shiki actually got impatient. Alright alright. I came in here because I know you've done a lot for Chicago. And even sacrificed everything to get where you are. Even with letting people spread rumors. About you in the streets. Bur you held steady. And not everyone can do that. I mean I'm sure some can but not a lot. You endured a lot for us. And I wanted to Auth you in Southside, for your hard work. We are really proud of you. You earned this. So what do you say." Brent asked. 

Shiki looked between them, everyone in the room tensed, he was stunned, all he could think of doing was nod. As if on time they all relaxed. Suddenly he looked at the others as he made a comment. 

"And spikes you have a flashlight?" Shiki teased, Cadhla and the others covered their snickers. 

"I have something better, bring it." SpikeS said shaking his head. 

As they all moved to the side, Riina being the last one, Shiki raised a brow, "SpikeS is this your way of saying Riina is my senpai?" Shiki let a small smirk form his lips. 

"no but you do need your senpai." Spikes teased, as they all laughed, Shiki gave a comical look.

As Riina finally stepped a side, his eyebrows scrunched, he looked at everyone. He knew this was impossible, but he knew they could pull miracles.

The girl walked up and jumped hugged him, "can I ask how?" Shiki asked softly. 

"a senpai and magician never tells their secrets" Riina teased, everyone laughed. 

"thank you. You're right this is the best gift." Shiki said, kissing Ari's forehead. 

they all laughed, "so do you have a name for this adventure?" SpikeS asked. 

"Sleep token, its something new. And we will definitely continue brents work here. Thank you." He whispered. 

Feeling as if the air in his lungs seemed to come back, he ruffled her hair, "stop taking bullets. And just take cover next time." He whispered.

everyone clapped, as the refreshments came in and they all enjoyed a goodnight to remember, for nights to come. This was a time to make a new life and start new memories. 

"to knew memories to come." Cadlha said, everyone raised their glass and drank to that. 

Later, Shiki packed up, taking a couple peipl with him to start a new adventure and to have fun. Make new memories.
