Families, what are they? A group of people forced together under one household because of DNA similarities. A relic of the early years of human evolution. You stick to a group in order to survive and that group happens to be people that share the same blood as you. But now in the 21th century, families can consist of people that aren't even related. Still there are blood related people who would curse each other with the power of the elder gods and watch each other die in a brutal way while a person in the background screams "fatality."
This thought passes through my head as I wake up from my peaceful slumber to an image of my adorable sister saying some words that I couldn't understand.
"Onii-chan, get up! It's time for school!"
Never mind. I understand those words perfectly fine but wished I didn't.
"Five more minutes," I reply back as best as I could.
"No 'five more minutes' it's my first day at Sobu and I need my big brother bodyguard to be there to protect me from all the boys. Oh! That's worth a lot of Komachi points."
Hearing those words, I spring up into action. No matter what the answer is to what is a family, an older brother must protect his cute sister from harm. That is rule number one in the older brother manual.
"I'm up."
"Good. Breakfast is downstairs. Eat up and get ready so we can get to school." She said with a little bit more chipper in her voice. Are you really that happy to go to school? What's there that isn't here at home? Home is where happiness is. In fact, my happiest moments are at home. Wait, did I just insult myself?
I walk downstairs and start eating my breakfast when something catches my eye.
My dead beat dad forgot to put away his newspaper before he left the house. Sigh. Dad, I know that you're a slave to the corporation but could you at least put away your newspaper?
I skim over the articles and one article in particular catches my interest. 'The mega company Syntech has reached the number one position on annual income after only existing for three years now.'
"Hm, even if he has a huge company, the president looks like a tool."
"Ehhh? Onii-chan, you shouldn't say that about him especially when he's contributed more to society than you ever will."
"Too bad, he contributes to a broken ideal that only perpetuates hypocrites. If I was him, I would use the money for myself because society doesn't need more fuel to create more hypocrites. Money for light novel and mangas. Just think of all the figurines you can buy with that kind of money." Maybe even a life size Totsuka figure.
"Onii-chan, you have a really creepy look on your face." Crap! Is my love for Totsuka showing right now? "Anyway Onii-chan, he's been going around different countries and helping out with their infru-fur-fuc-infruct…"
"Infrastructure?"
"Yeah that! Anyways, he's helping a lot of people and a lot of people really like him. He's basically a movie star!"
"Too bad he doesn't look like a movie star."
"Onii-chan, your rotten eyes are showing again."
We arrived at the high school known as Sobu High School. Three years of my life passed in this building has made me attached to it. Don't get me wrong though. The attachment is more of an investor hoping his investment wasn't a mistake.
"We're here!"
"Yes, thank you for stating the obvious."
"Onii-chan, aren't you excited? It's your adorable sister's first day of high school."
"It's also my first day of looking out for potential hit list candidates. Gotta make sure I'm on DEFCON 1 otherwise that brat might come out of nowhere and try to bust a move."
I look over to Komachi and she has a look of confusion and disgust.
"Who says 'bust a move' anymore? This isn't the early two thousands." I see the cynic side flows through you as well Komachi. Yes let the cynic flow through your body and power you. Wait…. She's only a cynic when it comes to me.
"Just like how the old styles are coming back, the older words are coming back too. It's the law of cycling trends."
She just rolls her eyes at me. What? I'm telling the truth here. I read online that trends cycle every fifteen to twenty years. I mean that's what people tell themselves so they can lie to themselves. They're just following some trend made by some guy that likes to be retro and different and everyone else wants to be the same, retro and different. So they copy the first guy that did it who is probably some celebrity who's just listening to his manager. Rinse and repeat.
"Whatever you say Onii-chan. Anyways, I'm going to head off to class before people think I'm related to you." So cold Komachi, so cold.
"Alright, see you around then. Just make sure there aren't any boys around you because any guy that gets in a three meter radius around you is automatically going on my hit list. You don't have to worry about that one brat though, he's already at the top of the list."
"You shouldn't be so mean to Taishi-kun. He's really a nice guy."
"That's even more reason to hate him."
I walk into the classroom. The room is empty probably because everyone is catching up with their friends. That's exactly why those people aren't getting first pick when it comes to seat placement. I'll enjoy your suffering when you can't sit next to your best friend because you were busy socializing.
I choose the seat that I normally take in any classroom, away from any focus. I sit down and start to think over what happened in those last few days of spring. One thing comes to mind when thinking of those days.
Yukinoshita outside the gates.
She looked like she wanted to say something. Something important.
What was it?
"Hikigaya-kun." Speak of the devil.
I turn my head around to see a slender, black hair figure looking at me with a smirk of smugness.
"Are you the first one here because you were the fastest or because you have no friends to pass the time." Never change Yukinoshita, never change.
A/N:
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!
Really trying to match Hachiman's character or what I think his character evolves to is really hard to do. Really all the characters are really hard to analysis. So please let me know if you though the portrayal of these lovable characters were accurate or not. If not, EXPLAIN WHAT THE HELL I SHOULD TO FIX IT, KAY BRO? BETTER MAKE SURE YOU WRITE AT LEAST A PAGE OF ANALYSIS OTHERWISE TEN POINTS OFF. Kay thanks.
Also I plan to have an OC which I want to be the accelerator for Hachiman's character so just letting you know if you have a vendetta against OC's.
