The cold air of winter was blowing outside of the apartment they live in. Since it wasn't so big, the place needed little more to heat itself up than closing all the windows so no more cold air could come in. Hachiman was covered from head to toes by a thick blanket and was lying face down on the queen sized bed of his shared bedroom. He had made a mistake, and returned late to see the windows had been left open all day. It wasn't a problem of the security kind, since didn't live in the lower floors of the complex but the obvious cold that remained inside was too much for him to bare.

Just who was the one with the bright idea of leaving the window open?

The door to the room opened, and a woman stepped inside with a cup releasing steam and a pleasurable aroma.

"Brought you something." The voice shook the sleep off of Hachiman's eyes and made him roll and sit up "Well, that's why you're so cold. You shouldn't take off your sweater as if it was summer." A giggle followed and she offered the cup to Hachiman.

"I'm wearing no snow stained clothes on the bed." Hachiman grunted and took the offering between his hands "Thanks."

"Anything you want, darling." She was still wearing the clothes she had on when she arrived, but unlike Hachiman she didn't mind all too much using them on the bed. After all, if something cold fell on it they could simply heat it up with their bodies again.

Hachiman moaned between sips. That was exactly what he needed for the cold and couldn't hide the satisfying sensation of the coffee going down to his stomach, warming everything while going down. He did take it slowly because it was hot, but didn't really stop to say anything while gulping down the cup. A sigh of satisfaction escaped his lips when he was done.

"Yes, that's it… Thanks, Haruno." He placed the cup down on the small table besides the bed.

"Glad you liked it." The radiant smile she offered him made him smile too. After years passed they both had gone past the routine that was their relationship during his days in Sobu High. The main reason she acted like she did was to force Yukino to grow on her own. With the goal accomplished, well, Haruno hadn't had any use for Hachiman anymore.

And yet.

"You didn't prepare one for yourself?"

"Ah, it's alright. I'll just get warm from you." She hugged him and placed her hands inside of his shirt while resting her head on his shoulder.

"Cold!" Hachiman protested and shifted to place himself in a more comfortable position.

And yet, they kept seeing each other. Life makes some really bizarre turns from time to time and circumstances change radically without anyone capable of putting the brakes for that crazy driver that has been about to run over an old lady way too many times to count.

The first time was a random encounter in the mall, the second one was a dateless promise that simply came to be in a day both of them were bored and the third one was planned out with anticipation from both sides. Haruno had known who Hachiman is as a person, so she enjoyed his presence form day one, but Hachiman's motives were different, or rather, the opposite. He kept learning something new about her and the desire to do so appeared now that he didn't feel any danger coming from her.

Of course, she would act as she did only when necessary. As he grew up during and after his high school years he came to the realization that people were not all monsters and nasty people wouldn't always be nasty. That didn't mean he became an extraverted person and became friends with everyone, but as he kept growing his feelings settled down and he found peace in his lifestyle.

Peace. That was a concept which he enjoyed. Hectic days only reminded him of the peace he would obtain when he came back home to rest. Was that how his parents felt? Their answers were not that clear, but granted he couldn't understand because he is yet to become a father.

And because sometimes even in the safety of his own house peace would avoid him.

"Haruno, that's…" Haruno's cuddling became more and more intense and she began kissing his neck slowly. The lipstick she used was imprinted on his left side as if purposely painted into the perfect shape of Haruno's lips, her now warm hands caressing his torso and back in slow circles that made him shiver from time to time.

"Let me have this…" She whispered.

"It's not appropriate." He replied while trying to separate himself from her but failing to put his hands on her because he knew she'd catch them and send them places.

And, ever since they first met she had become even more beautiful. She kind of resembled her mother a bit, but Yukino was more alike. If his mind wasn't beginning to be overtaken by Haruno's masterful hands maybe Hachiman could have found the resemblance to their father but he didn't.

"What about it?" She whispered closely before blowing his ear "Don't you need it too?"

"Yukino's coming." He replied as seriously as he could.

"Then let's hurry up." She teased, earning a chuckle from Hachiman.

"If only we could decide on that…" Haruno chuckled at his words.

"You're right. Then, I'll wait until she comes." Her hands stopped and settled near his belly while she rested her head on his shoulder again "At least let's lay down."

That did sound like a good idea.

"Alright." He enveloped her back with his arm and brought both of them down to rest their heads on the pillows "Just don't tease her too much."

"Oh, but she's at her cutest when she's flustered!" Haruno giggled while hugging him like a teddy bear "And when she tries to explain why borrowing her man is bad manners."

To be fair, if someone found their partner with someone else the situation wouldn't turn into something as cute as a scolding but it would lead to even legal action from the offended side.

Like Yukino's husband had wanted to do when he found her sleeping with Hachiman a couple of years ago.

"I'm home." The door closed and steps were directly going towards the bedroom. Both of them knew who it was and both of them knew why Haruno chose that moment to get on top of Hachiman and resume her provocations "Hachiman, you the-…? Wha!" Yukino almost jumped at the sight of her sister pinning down Hachiman with muffled noises in between "What is going on in here?!" Evidently, Yukino was furious "Nee-san, release him immediately!" She didn't wait for an answer and grabbing her sister's shoulder she pulled her away from the man below her in haste.

"Oh, Yukino-chan. You're back." Haruno's cheeks were redder than usual and her breath had become erratic though she didn't have enough time to unbutton her clothes or take off his.

"Yes, I'm back." Yukino scowled "Could any of you tell me what is going on?"

"…" Both of the women's eyes turned to the only man in the room. As a man, Hachiman's mind was completely in a chaotic state and the situation wasn't all too clear for him due to his desires being awakened like that. His first reaction was to inquiry why were they interrupted but to his credential he didn't act upon that thought "I…" He pressed his brain for an answer while quickly taking control of himself again "I was about to get raped." None of them reacted to his words "Thank, Yukino. You saved my purity."

The side of a fist crashed on his leg, making him grunt in pain as result.

"I can't believe this, I was working all day to return home and find you doing… This!"

"To be fair, you're in no position to say that." Haruno commented under her breath.

"Oh, really?" Time had not been wasted for Yukino. She didn't back away from her sister's words. She would never do that anymore "You knew I liked Hachiman way before. Weren't you the one who got in our way?"

"While you were somewhere else? Married?" The safety net was no more, both sisters were adults now and Haruno's subconscious need to protect Yukino even from herself was weaker than before "That's hillarious. Didn't your relationship start like this as well?"

"You didn't live with him then." The little sister pointed out.

"I'm sorry for not moving in the moment it occurred to me." The elder replied "Unlike you, I don't find funny to leap into the unknown without a parachute."

"I didn't. I knew he would accept me." Yukino fixed her long raven hair with a smug smirk.

"Really? He already had me." Which was met with an equally smug grin from her sister "If I wanted your little gambit would have gone down the gutter."

"Well, that might be so." Hachiman stared at both women as their tone became less heated. He sighed in relief when he realized his neck wasn't going to be broken any time soon "But you'd have never stood a chance against my charms."

To her credit, Yukino didn't react when her elder sister looked down from her face to her chest and then to her own.

"Right." Yukino had grown, sure. But some of the Yukinoshita charms were given generously to Haruno alone. Again, Yukino grew up like her mother. Haruno must then have more traits from their father's side "In any case, if you excuse us…"

"No, not happening." Yukino pulled her sister a bit more "I'm not handing Hachiman today."

"Eh? Why not?"

"Today's my turn."

Silent surprise enveloped the room.

"You're still onto that?" It was then when Hachiman chose to speak "It feels like I'm a book that can be borrowed and given back to the library whenever needed."

"You're more like a toy, though." Haruno pointed out "And there are two sisters taking turns to play with it." He didn't miss the tone that told him to keep quiet. But he refused to do so.

"Now, that's worse." Hachiman sighed tiredly "We were past this, why are fighting again now? I know I agreed to this, but this is a bit…"

"Oh, no. We're not fighting." Yukino interjected, crossing her arms after taking off her jacket "I just wanted Nee-san to know she can't do these things with you today."

"Oh, but you can join us if you want."

"…" Both Yukino and Hachiman kept quiet. They couldn't figure out how to reply to what the elder Yukinoshita had said.

Hachiman had been against Yukino's approach. He was in a relationship with Haruno after all, and Yukino was married already. He talked to about it with both of them. He had been close with Yukino, they had been friends and confidants. They had gone through high school together and he had consoled her when her marriage had been decided against her will. But his heart belonged somewhere else. That was the reason why Iroha disappeared from his life.

At the time, in college, he was going out with Yui, his life was way better than before, and Hachiman wanted to try. It wouldn't have been fair for Yui if he back out simply because of what was going on at the time. He had grown feelings for her, and when eventually they broke up they realized that their feelings for the other were different from that of a couple. They had gone together through too much, more than with Yukino when she eventually left the country and married. Their bond was deep, almost like family.

He rejected Iroha because he was going out with Yui. He had thought her feelings were fleeting like with Hayato, just youth doing its job but she didn't take it well. She tried to seduce him despite knowing, he knew she was doing it because she had been emotionally weak at the time, but that doesn't mean he would excuse her from her actions.

And yet, years later Yukino did the same. The only reason he had ended up in a relationship with both Yukino and Haruno was because of the circumstances.

"And you called me a siscon." Hachiman all but hissed. Yukino turned her eyes to him apologetically but said nothing at all.

Yes. He isn't a monster who would toy with women's heart, nor would he take part in breaking the trust of another person (nor breaking their marriage for that matter), and he certainly didn't want to make his already complicated relationship with the heiress of the Yukinoshita by adding the other heiress to it.

"Or, would you rather have. Just. Me?" If she hadn't directed that stare full of sexual energy to her own sister perhaps Haruno would have gotten away with it.

Once again, Hachiman was reminded why he ended up with two women instead of one.

"And you called me a siscon!" He insisted.

"…Do whatever you want." Yukino turned around with the best poker face someone has ever made and attempted to leave, but her skirt was held and she immediately stopped before it could get ripped.

"In that case." Haruno took one of Yukino's wrists with her other hand and pulled her onto the bed "Be a darling and get out of those clothes. We should share our body heat to preserve it."

"We're not trapped in the mountains." Hachiman couldn't help but reply. Haruno was sitting on one of his legs and it was becoming increasingly painful to stay that way. He could almost feel his knee slowly bending in the wrong direction.

"I-I didn't mean it that way!" Yukino protested.

"Heeeh? Are you taking your word back?" The line has been cast. Yukino is about to play by Haruno's rules.

And no one likes to play by her rules.

"Yukino." Hachiman interjected "You don't have to… Huh?" Hachiman touched his face. He shifted from his position, uncomfortable. He blinked several times and his minds became hazy "Is it just me or…?" It took him a moment to notice Haruno's grin. And just another one to make the conection "What did you put in that coffee?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just a bit of Sildenafil." Haruno replied with a sing-song tone.

"You did WHAT?!" Yukino asked in horror.

"What? What is it? What did you do?" Hachiman began to panic as he saw Yukino react in such a strange way for her. Then he felt stiff in his pants and somehow deduced the answer "Don't tell me that's…"

"Yep, just a bit." Haruno smiled innocently "Just so you can stand a chance against both of us. I'm so considerate, aren't I?" She patted her own shoulder as if praising herself.

"It's still gonna hurt tomorrow!" Hachiman replied angrily, controlling his hands just barely by turning them into fists.

"Well, it'll hurt if you don't do anything either way…" Haruno was right and Hachiman knew this, his groan was especially audible and was almost like a dog threatening to bark.

"Nee-san, don't tell me you planned this from the beginning…" Yukino said while holding herself up with one arm from her position in the bed, looking at Hachiman fight against himself and well, more looking at his pants than his face really but that's beside the point.

"Why are you so surprised, Yukino-chan? Like. I. Said." Haruno ran a finger against Yukino's neck, sending a shiver down her spine "I don't like jumping off without a parachute ready."

"W-What are you going to do to me?" Yukino whispered, looking down to the arm that was supporting her half lying body in embarrassment.

"Me? Nothing, I know the best way to convince you is to let Hachiman make a mess out of you." Haruno basically purred. Yukino's blush intensified and Hachiman's mind lost more control as he began imagining like a hormonal teenager does to his crush "Afterwards I can have everything my way, so be a good girl and make a lot of noise. I love Yukino-chan's aroused voice."

"N-Nee-san. This is wrong…"

"But not a first." The pieces were in place, no further movements were required as the elder Yukinoshita snatched the victory once more "Hachiman, you ready? Help me out with Yukino-chan's clothes. I think you'll like the lingerie she's wearing today."

Before any more protest could be brought up, Hachiman moved.

"I thought you had grown out of these stunts."

"Ah, good morning Yukino-chan! You look more beautiful than usual." Haruno was already dressed and drinking coffee while checking on the news. Yukino walked slowly across the room with a bathrobe around her body. She looked down, embarrassed at what she did the previous night "Maybe we should do this more often."

"…" Yukino didn't say anything. She felt like she was in the middle of a walk of shame, so she didn't say anything in return. Her sister looked refreshed as well. Apparently what she said holds true, women get more beautiful after having sex. That or it's because she's all dressed up already, Yukino didn't know.

"So… How was it? I loved it." Haruno's carefreeness was boundless. She was in quite high spirits and it occurred to the younger Yukinoshita that she was not really teasing her with that question.

"I… I enjoyed it." Yukino admitted "Although I'm a bit concerned about Hachiman…"

"Yeah… We probably should leave him alone for a couple of days. He's gotten better, but still everything breaks from overuse." The elder Yukinoshita replied with a hand on her chin "I'll apologize for that."

"I thought men fantasized about having two women at the same time." Yukino approached while looking at the TV like her sister was doing, taking in what the weather girl was saying.

"Fantasy and reality are very different things." Haruno replied while making room for her sister on the couch "And Hachiman knows it all too well."

Their relationship was far from perfect. When their parents got new of how things had turned out things were more or less solved thanks to the fact that a scandal like this one would sink the family and leave them to the machinations of the media. Their parents knew this but it didn't stop them from trying to take back both of their daughters from the man that stole them from the future they had envisioned for them.

It didn't help Yukino broke off her marriage to be with him. It didn't help either their parents didn't know Haruno was with him to begin with and were just then being told.

Perhaps it was due to their shared struggle that the three-way relationship somehow worked out in the end. Just like with everyone who are held in their hearts the act of struggling together molded their bound into something that couldn't be damaged easily and their efforts to repair the damaged parts has allowed them to accept the way their lives turned out.

Haruno once more acted on Yukino's interest, Yukino had to accept her elder sister's influence in her life once more and Hachiman had to forsake his cynism and work his way to a perfect conclusion or at least the closest thing to that.

"Hachiman has never been one to choose fantasy over reality." Yukino pointed out.

Even so I…

"Never." Haruno agreed.

…I want something genuine.

"It's just… If I had been told we would end up like this I wouldn't have believed it." Yukino said more to herself than anything.

"Do you hate it?" Haruno turned to face her sister with a straight face.

"No." Yukino sighed "I don't. Nee-san, once I hated you for what you represented. But that's in the past, Hachiman really loves you. I don't know why he accepted to have me ride along your happy life together… If it were me I'd have thought you were saying our relationship was meaningless, that it'd not matter if I were cheating on you because you felt nothing at all about it."

"It worked out because he also loves you." The elder sister chuckled "Even if he didn't know at the time. For what other reason did I need to make a move? If he didn't feel anything he'd have gotten rid of you himself."

"That's… You're probably right."

"I am."

Before the silence could get more awkward Yukino stood up.

"Just so you know, I don't have any romantic feelings for you."

"Hmmm, where did that come from?" Haruno asked genuinely confused.

"I'm just saying this kind of "skinship" between sisters is morally wrong, we should stop doing this. That's why I suggested we take turns and…"

"You'll make a baby either way, so why bother?" Yukino stopped cold the moment those words left her sister's mouth. They stared right into the other's eyes leaving nothing to hide. She knows. Haruno chuckled "That's what you wanted, right?" Just so there could be no room for misinterpretations she continued "You wanted to get pregnant, right? But you wanted to talk it out with Hachiman first, how considerate of you."

"H-How did you…?"

"Really? Yukino-chan you're cleverer than this. Also, magazines? You went out of your way to buy magazines instead of just browsing the internet or, I don't know, go see a doctor? I'd understand it from Gahama-chan, but you? Dishonor on your cow, Yukino-chan."

Haruno smiled, her full attention was now on Yukino who could do nothing but stare at her sister without knowing what to say.

Then she chuckled in defeat.

"I can never surpass you, right Nee-san?"

"You'll always be too young to learn all my tricks." Haruno took her cup and finished her coffee "I'd suggest trying to get good at a different game from mine."

"So, what's next?" Giving in, Yukino asked.

"Next, we defend our share of the Company." Haruno took her phone and typed quickly a message "Shirasaki-san contacted me yesterday, apparently father has not given up on disowning us. Too bad his people mostly work for me now, he's in for a rude awakening for listening to mother when he should have not."

Yukino's eyes twitched.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"Ah, well. You prepare breakfast for Hachiman and act as the cute wife our parents raised you to be." The spite in Haruno's voice was palpable, whatever she was taking care of on the phone surely ruined her morning. When she was done she sighed and turned to Yukino again "I already talked to Hachiman."

That wasn't an apology for what she said, but Yukino took it instead.

"Thank you."

"So do me a favor and begin thinking what we're going to tell our children when they find out they are half sibling, half cousins." Haruno's smile carried evil intentions and immediately Yukino caught on.

"Eh? Nee-san? Wait a moment, you said you don't like kids." Yukino began sweating "No, no, no, no, no. We'll sink, this boat will not endure if we do this." She hurried to back into the couch and grabbed her sister's hands "Nee-san, what will everyone say? The media, our workers… Everything we've worked for will disappear. Society won't accept this."

"Yukino-chan." Haruno caressed her sister's head, fixing some head hair she had "I was thinking. When I told Hachiman that you wanted to get pregnant I realized… That I want to give birth to his child too." Her eyes were moisty, Yukino gasped as if out of breath.

"Nee-san…" The younger Yukinoshita sighed. Closing her eyes she readied herself for what she was about to say "I get it. We'll figure out how to sort things out when the time comes."

The elder Yukinoshita smiled.

"Then, let's see who gets pregnant first." She said while cleaning the stray tears on her face.

"Nee-san, that's not the point." Yukino chuckled mirroring her sister's actions "I wonder what he'll say about this."

"Let's wait until his body recovers." Haruno nodded "Something tells me he'll have a lot of work to do." Yukino chuckled and hugged her sister "I do love you that way, by the way."

"Nee-san, please!"

A/N

Originally this was going to be a lemon but I haven't written one in years so my confidence is not high enough. And yes, I should be doing a hella lot of other things instead of writing a one-shot but I couldn't resist. Sorry if there is too much OOC, I didn't have enough patience to write it slowly and made it in one go. Nonetheless I hope you enjoy this little piece. Please tell me your thoughts.

PD. Haruno X 8man deserves more love.

Greetings~
