It's been a normal day for Ruby.
Wake up at 7:30—late, and definitely much later than her older sister—, hurriedly change, groom and eat at the same time, rush to school, slog through class, and now, last but not least...
The red haired first year is making her way to the school idol clubroom.
Aquors...
Honestly, it feels like a dream to the shy girl. To work hard with everyone and dance and sing like the idols she's looked up to since childhood is something Ruby's yearned for ever since she discovered the world of idols all those years ago. Silently, she offers a prayer of thanks to whichever god of good luck has been watching over her.
"Ruby." A hand on her shoulder brings the first year back to reality. Ruby recognizes this voice, and turns around to meet the green gaze of her elder sister, Dia. Strange, though. Doesn't she have student council business to attend to? She must have something important to tell her.
"What's up sis?" asks Ruby, a hint of nervousness leaking into her voice.
"Nothing much." A new voice speaks, but a familiar one nonetheless. From around the corner steps Watanabe You, a second year and fellow member of Aquors.
"You? What are you doing here?" Ruby turns to face the designer of the group, who is walking down the hall towards the sisters.
Suddenly, Dia's hands move from lightly gripping Ruby's shoulder to encircling around her waist and pulling her tight against her own body. Being held by her sister is nothing new for the first year; she's easily scared and cries easily, so Dia has held her many a times. Yet something is different this time. The embrace is a lot more...intimate.
"Sis?" Ruby tries to turn her questioning gaze onto her sister, but You has already closed the distance and cups Ruby's chin with her index finger and thumb, preventing her from looking away.
"You? Sis? What's going on? What are you doing?" You's baby blue gaze is intense, and it is making Ruby feel uncomfortable. She tries to back away, but the brunette behind her holds her tight and renders her attempts to escape futile. Ruby notices now that You's face is very close to her own, and embarrassment starts making itself known on her face.
"Ruby." Hot breath fills the redhead's ear in the form of a whisper from Dia, and the younger Kurosawa cannot help but shiver.
"Ruby." You whispers her name too before closing the gap between their lips. The soft contact lasts only a couple of seconds, but it's enough to make Ruby's mind go blank.
Suddenly, there's no more contact. You has backed off two steps and Dia no longer holds her up, and so Ruby falls to her knees. She's breathing hard and struggling to comprehend what happened in the last minute.
"Ruby, have you ever been part of an OT3?" asks Dia. Before the first year even has a chance to respond, You speaks up.
"I thought not. So now, your fellow first years can't be your first."
Dia and You point their thumbs towards themselves and simultaneously declare triumphantly: "IT WAS US, DIYOU!"
Wait a minute...is this a—
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Laughing victoriously, DiYou run down the hall, leaving Ruby confused and alone.
"KONO DIYOU DA! WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Their jubilant screeches are audible even from far away.
Maybe it was a bad idea getting sis to join Aquors...
It was either this or YoYou's Bizarre Adventure. And boy, does DiYou sound so much funnier.
