My Teen Romantic Comedy. I can say this is my first time writing a slice of life-high school life sort of fanfiction. I like trying new things. I tried German beer recently, and that stuff is really good. Super smooth. Anyways, I like to test new waters with writing, just because it's sort of interesting. I've watched this show several times-never read the manga or light novel, but there's just a few differences between them...Mostly Hikigaya's mentions to and about manga and being an Otaku...I'm pretty sure.

Anyways, I will only have once OC in here. He will be Hikigaya's older cousin-born in march-from the states. He transfers over from the states, and moves in with Hikigaya.

He is the son of Hachiman's father's older sister.

These chapters could be shorter compared to my other stories' chapters and may be less descriptive. I've never written a slice of life story before-and for anyone that knows me, I like action and fighting centered stuff. So, this is a new territory for me. I don't know how this is going to go. Things shouldn't stray too far from the anime in this story, but I won't keep things exactly the same-where is the fun in that?

There is no fun, simple.

Recently, I've been reading where the characters-descriptions of them, aren't even mentioned. So I don't have to do this, I'll put down Hikigaya's cousin description here.

Leaving reviews and following and favoriting is very much appreciated. So do that! It keeps the motivation and drive going.

His name is Soushi Harris.

Birthday: March 10th

Age: 17

Height: 6'3

Weight: 160lbs

Appearance: Soushi is a tall, dark skinned young man with long, black hair. He is Afro-Asian. His most prominent features are his piercing, jaded eyes, and lean, but muscular build. He is usually seen wearing jogging pants, jeans, t shirts and other basic attire. At school, he wears the uniform. At home he wears the same basic attire, t shirts and jogging pants.

Hikigaya was tired.

He was so tired.

School went as it always did. Classes were the same. It was all the same. People wore their masks and embraced their youth. They embraced a lie and let themselves become delusional. Yui was the same. Yukino was the same. His scary sensei-that forced him to join the club, was still the same. He firmly believed that he could reset relationships.

The bell rang, and he sighed softly. Another day was over with, but another one had to be trudged through tomorrow. He wouldn't have minded going through high school unnoticed. Not being in any club. And, definitely not helping people. He had no desire to even have a friend-one friend. Why would he have the desire to help someone he didn't even know, who he wouldn't, and couldn't, consider a friend?

He wouldn't.

And, he really didn't want to now.

He didn't need people or want to be around them. He didn't need or want their help.

He didn't want to help them...

"Hikigaya."

He turned towards his sensei...This scary woman that coerced him into joining the service club. Forcing him to join after he wrote the truthful essay. He found himself pausing, and as she approached, he swallowed.

Did she have to draw it out like some manga villain?

"I'd like to speak with you before you get going."

Hikigaya blinked, dead-fish eyes narrowing a fraction.

"About?"

She pulled out a file from her white coat, and showed it to him.

Soushi Harris.

"He's my cousin." Hikigaya said, not looking too concerned.

"I know that, he's transferring here, right? More to the point, he's going to be living under your roof, right?"

Hikigaya's brow twitched, and he unconsciously took a step back. This woman got way too bossy, way too quick.

"Yeah. He's supposed to be arriving later today. I have to leave the club early to meet him at the airport."

"Oh?"

Hikigaya nodded a fraction. "Yeah. My parents aren't able to pick him up, and his parents work in the states."

The thought of Komachi in Narita Airport alone was enough to cause him more dread than all of the teasing and nitpicking he endured as a child. More dread when he walked up to the one girl and asked her out.

That was more embarrassing, than dreadful, but the same concept applied.

More to the point-his parents, especially his father-didn't want Komachi alone with Soushi.

Shizuka's eyes narrowed. She read through the file over and over, from the time she got it. A relative of Hikigaya Hachiman had to be controlled properly, otherwise they'd run amok like he did.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I need you to focus."

"Huh?"

"Soushi has quite the record."

Hikigaya relaxed, and breathed out a sigh. It wasn't his problem, it's not like he spent his time fighting kids growing up. Soushi was a different story, and he didn't grow up in Japan like he had. Soushi lived a different life. He had a different upbringing. Harsher, in a lot of ways. It could be concerning for his sensei, but he didn't feel like it was pressing.

It wouldn't be pressing until he got here.

Unlike himself-Soushi would call Shizuka, or anyone else here a bitch right to their face.

He would call Yukino, and her sister a bitch.

He wouldn't think twice about it.

"What are you trying to say, sensei?"

She opened the file and showed it to him.

Hikigaya glanced at it for a brief second, before focusing on the woman. "I already know about all of that. We talked as children, you know. I don't see what that has to do with me."

"I'm saying he's going to be part of the service club. A member, like you. I'd hate to think there's another person like you walking around. He's related to you as well, so your traits could have passed onto him as well."

"I'm not his father or mother."

"That isn't the point."

"Hold on-"

"I already have two loners in this school. I don't need a loner, that's a nihilist as well." Shizuka stared him down. "Understand? You wrote a smart ass essay, your cousin may do something worse."

Hikigaya scratched the back of his head. He wasn't going to argue about it-not like he was getting work dumped off on him, anyways.

"I get it. I'll let him know."

And, he can't have my traits. Even if he shares my blood, there's no one like me. And, besides I can't have his traits and he can't have mine, what she said made no sense...

Hikigaya kept his nose in his book. He didn't look at Yukino and he didn't look at Yui. They were all in the same spot. Like every day after school. He'd walk in, and they'd look at him-ending whatever conversation they were having. He'd sit down, and eventually, they'd continue. It was almost like he was stopping time and reality itself when he walked into that room.

He was put off by it at first, but over time, he just stopped caring to notice. Sometimes he'd wait a few seconds longer before entering. He knew girls could talk a lot, and even Yukino, for all of her appearances, was a talkative girl.

He shut his book, and like when he entered the room, both of the girls looked at him. He could read faces and masks well. Yui, was startled more than anything by his brusque action. Yukino was more observant, and his action, disrupted her peace. He slung his bag over his back, and stood to his feet, moving towards the door.

"Hikki?" Yui ventured.

He turned around, something in her voice made him perform the action.

"Where..." Yui found a pause, almost unconscious. "Where are you going?"

"I have something I have to do."

He didn't tell either of these two about his cousin. Eventually, they'd find out, like everyone else. Certainly, all of his teachers and staff knew, but that was it. The students didn't know. Soushi had no friends here as far as he knew, so no one would even know they were cousins. Truth be told-they really didn't alike at all, but they shared the same blood, regardless. Yui would want to meet him and Yukino would draw up her holier than thou reasoning before she even got the chance to meet him for herself.

Hopefully, they'd just let it go.

"Komachi is waiting for me."

"Sister complex?" Yukino questioned, looking him in the eye.

"No." Hikigaya didn't look amused.

Yukino inhaled shortly. "You're being secretive."

"I don't think so. Nothing I've said or done is out of the ordinary."

"Evasive then?"

"No."

"Avoidant?"

Hikigaya scowled. "Even more unlikely."

Yui looked between the two of them.

Hikigaya sighed, annoyance starting to drift through him. "I'm getting my cousin from the airport."

"Cousin!?"

Hikigaya dug a finger in his ear, wincing-his ear drum was throbbing.

"S-Sorry." Yui stuttered out, flustered.

Yukino had two fingers over her mouth, a ray of scarlet on her cheeks.

"I didn't think there was someone else who shared your blood." She recovered, offering a retort just as quickly.

"Yeah, big surprise. Well, I'm off."

"Wait!"

Hikigaya halted, eyes going onto Yui again.

"Can...Is it all right if we go with you?"

Hikigaya sighed, and sunk his head.

The airport was going to be busy, like it always was. He needed to take a cab there. Komachi was going to be hyper, then he'd certainly have to deal with his parents when that time came. The cab ride was going to be long. He needed to find the gate Soushi landed on it, and if anything had changed, he needed to learn that as well.

A lot of work...

"Um, about that..."

"I don't think having us around will really tarnish your reputation all that much. He's a relative of yours, so I'm sure he is as incorrigible and unsociable as you are." Yukino reasoned.

"I don't have a reputation."

Though he was incorrigible and unsociable.

"Exactly."

Hikigaya was exasperated. He slung his bag over his other shoulder, sighing.

Sobu High School should get it for slave labor-making him lug around these books.

"If you're going to put it like that, come if you want."

"Really?" Yui jumped out of her seat, excited.

"Yeah."

This was going to be...

Troublesome.

The cab ride was going how Hikigaya was expecting. While it was a little relaxing to just sit back and enjoy the scenic ride-Japan's traffic was terrible. He would sooner walk or ride his bike, then drive. Komachi, Yui, and Yukino spent the whole time talking with each other. He just spent his time looking out the window-trying to block out the girls' chatter.

When they got close to Narita Airport-that is when things began to slow down. There were more than a few traffic jams. People didn't know where they were going, and the people that did know where they were going wouldn't stop braking. It led to something like a single file line in school, except instead of a single line, there were at least eight-and they were all backed up.

It was going on close to six at night when things began to progress again.

"Hey, Komachi." Hikigaya started, eyes watching the cars outside of the window. "Did Soushi text you at all?"

Komachi blinked, pausing in her conversation. "Not since he texted me he was taking off."

Well, that was good at least. He didn't really care about appearances and all of that, or people, but he didn't want to keep his cousin waiting. Soushi was the only male in their family that didn't have something against him like his parents and grandparents did. Maybe the plane was running late. It wasn't all of that unusual considering Soushi was flying from one continent, all the way to another country and the other side of the world.

Things were bound to lag with that.

"Oh!"

Hikigaya startled.

"Soushi texted me! He just landed. His landing gate got switched." Komachi explained.

"That could be a problem." Yukino muttered.

"What airline did he take?" Yui asked, hands resting in her lap.

"United Airlines." Hikigaya replied.

Hikigaya could say Japan put a lot of work into their airports. Sure, there's some airports that are modern, but they had noting on Narita Airport. The carpets look like blankets-super fluffy. He was tempted to just lay down and take a nap, they looked so comfy. The departure lounge was nothing short of spectacular the floor was tiled with light brown-opaque? It was so shiny and clean, he could see his reflection staring back him with same dead eyes.

The market place has to be the most dramatic for me-since this is my first time being here and all.

There are multiple shops. Even hundreds, stairs were leading up to the higher levels with railings that arched and looped with the same trajectory. There's a neat wagon thing in the center of the area-they looked to be selling something out of it. The largest glass ceiling was above them, allowing the sun's light to drift in with magnificence. It also allowed them to see the spectacle of planes taking off and landing.

There's...An elevator at the end of the area that goes up to the top platform, and there's a railing that spirals down a few feet from it adding a nice touch.

Needless to say there's a lot of people just coming and going. There is a lot of people. Hikigaya knew Narita Airport could be busy, but this was just baffling. He wasn't able to get by without swaying passed or away from someone; They seem to give him the same courtesy and moved past him-though not as fast as he did. There's foreigners of course, but they're probably going more towards the tourist sites and not really the residential areas where I will be spending the rest of my days.

They could also be waiting for their flights to come through.

"Where's those screens where you check the gates?" Komachi questioned, looking left and right. "I haven't seen Soushi in ages, I don't want to be late."

It took a half hour, but they finally found the person they were looking for. Sitting down on one of the chairs by the gate. He had his hood up and his head down. His arms were crossed over his chest-and there was a gentle rise and fall of his chest. There were also two big bulges on the sides of his head under his hood.

"Is that him?" Yui asked, looking at the lump of clothing.

"Yeah. He always has his headphones on, that's why there's those bulges under his head."

"Wait, Komachi-" Hikigaya started.

"Soushi!" Komachi shouted running towards the young man, jumping on his back.

The young man startled, body jolting. He almost shot to his feet, but heaved forward instead. His headphones flew off, hitting the floor, his phone soon followed. It hit a few times, bouncing off since it was made with such rounded angles. He squatted, picked up his phone, and turned his focus on Komachi. He seemed to gather himself for a moment before speaking.

"You scared the shit out of me." Soushi said bluntly.

Komachi grinned. "I wanted to surprise you! Your Japanese has gotten better, but it's still rough and yanki!"

"I've been practicing, I guess that's how it is." Soushi shrugged.

Hikigaya scowled as he came up behind Komachi-Yui and Yukino trailed behind by a few inches. "Sorry about that, Soushi."

Soushi returned Komachi's hug of affection by rubbing her head. He looked awkward doing it, but he didn't protest her holding onto him. "It's no big deal, I haven't seen you guys since I was nine or something like that."

"Eight, Soushi!" Komachi corrected with vigor. "We were eight the last time we seen each other."

Soushi turned his focus onto Yui and Yukino, head tilting. "That's Yui and Yukino? The two girls you and Komachi were telling me about before?"

Yukino looked shocked, and that was a surprise. Hikigaya was sure nobody just called her by her first name, but Soushi didn't do good with all the rigid formalities placed on Japanese. Soushi would call her by her first name, as he'd been taught growing up. He cleared his throat. "I'm in a club with them at school. The one with orange hair is Yui Yuigahama. The one with dark hair is Yukino Yukinoshita."

"Nice to meet you!" Yui said, giving a quick bow.

"Nice to meet you." Yukino said, much more reserved.

Soushi returned their bows with one of his own-a bit awkward. "Nice to meet you two ladies as well. Are you guys hungry?"

"I'm starving!" Komachi exclaimed. "Can we get Mcdonald's? I love their fries!"

Soushi looked at Yui and Yukino.

"Are you hungry?"

"No." Yui said, a bit quick.

"I can pay easily enough." Soushi pulled out his wallet, and began to rifle through his wad of yen.

He had to have at least five hundred thousand yen, if not more.

"Well, if you insist..." Yui said, playing with her fingers.

"Is fast food not an option?"

Soushi snorted, looking Yukino. "What's wrong with fast food."

"And I love the fries!" Komachi finished.

"I'd prefer something a little more...Authentic." Yukino ventured.

"Don't be a party pooper, Yukino!" Komachi snapped.

Soushi began mutter, adjusting his duffel bag so the strap was on his left shoulder while putting his phone back in his pocket. Soushi wasn't sure if they sell Ramen here, and not that cheap stuff called Machuman or whatever. The real deal Ramen with the long handmade noddles, other toppings like shrimp or Tempura, and that broth that is meticulously prepared for the Ramen; but that's something that seems like it'd be more in a city or residential area and not in an airport.

All these other businesses will lose out if there's a Ramen stand.

They stumbled upon an array of restaurants. Some of them were open and some of them are closed. A few are authentic Japanese eateries-Soushi could see a few that sell sushi, Sashimi, and all of that good stuff, but he wasn't going to put rawfish into his stomach. Not after a thirteen hour odd flight.

Bummer.

He pitched his eyes around, spotting a Mcdonalds a few feet away. He felt little surprise at the fact there was a long line crowding at the front of the place. It was the same thing in the states, there's always a line at this place, whether you're in the drive thru or in the building. The drive thru went to the damn curb and people couldn't get the orders right.

But...

Who can hate Mcdonalds?

Manners are a huge thing in this country. Now, Soushi did have manners, and most parents in the states with any brains raise their children to have manners. But, there are some that don't have manners, and their children don't either. Soushi did have manners-he held the door open, didn't put his elbow on the table, and didn't belch.

"Thank you."

Soushi hoped he didn't sound completely inane while speaking Japanese. He didn't say the whole phrase for thank you, just the first part-Arigato- which is good enough. Soushi a quick bow before and after he grabbed his tray og food. He didn't do the low stereotypical bow, or a deliberate slow bow that had him near ninety degrees. A small bow would do.

Soushi carried his tray of food and drinks-ever so slowly. He sat down in a corner away from everyone else and Komachi took up a seat next to him. Hikigaya sat two seats away, and Yuio and Yukino sat across from Soushi and Komachi.

"You can tell you're a foreigner." Yukino started.

"Yeah, I'm dark skinned. I'm Afro Asian. I don't bow like a robot. Clamp it."

"I beg your pardon?"

Soushi scowled. "I don't need you making comments, is what I'm saying. Stop stating the obvious."

Soushi frowned at the young woman, well no shit they everyone can tell he was a foreigner. He was very tall, and Japanese don't get nowhere near this tall. There weren't a lot of Japanese walking about at six feet or above. Soushi had brown skin too, and last he checked Japanese didn't have brown skin. At least the women. The men were and could get dark, but the women...their skin was ivory.

"You don't have good manners."

"You have a knack for stating the obvious and being a smart ass. I'm not sure if you're insulting me or making an observation." Soushi said.

"Don't think about that. She has a hard time distinguishing between the two of them. Also, she can be pretty harsh and think that's she better than everyone else." Hikigaya placated.

Soushi scowled again, working on setting down the tray of food-He really hoped he didn't make an ass out himself back there. They don't have Mcchickens, so he just got the Mega Teriyaki, the Mega Mac, three other burgers, some fries and a few other things that sound really tasty. He ordered double the fries, and made sure to get a large.

Airplane food was the worst!

But-the alcohol was great, and he made sure to snag a few bottles when the flght attendants weren't paying attention.

"What are you looking at?" Soushi asked, finishing chewing before springing the question on Yui and Yukino, more than his cousins. While he was getting odd looks from them-Hikigaya and Komachi were familiar with his lack of manners and formalities. At least a lack of those things in a Japanese contest. Yui and Yukino were just...Staring at him as he was eating, almost like they were so shocked and surprised over the simple action.

Soushi had half a thought they they were begging like dogs. The only thing missing was a pool of drool coating their mouth and dripping onto the table. Was it that much of a surprise he just grabbed his food and ate it?

Was there a fucking ceremony for eating food here, too?

He wasn't going to bow his head just to eat a burger.

Well-that shit could take a hike and go up an ass and around a corner-because he wasn't going to indulge in something so stupid. People in Japan needed to get their panties out of their assholes and loosen up a bit.

"What?" Soushi asked, repeating himself. "Never seen someone eat a burger before? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"N-No. I just..." Yui trailed off, looking at her burger.

"I've never eaten fast food." Yukino stated, looking at her food with a careful gaze.

"Are you one of those gluten free, fat free, sugar free, half this and half that, ass free nutcases?" Soushi asked.

"I just prefer real food."

Soushi groaned, putting a hand over his eyes. "Fucking A. I'm dealing with a nut case. I didn't think people here were so stupid, too."

"I'm not a nut case, I just want real food."

"Yukino!" Komachi started, brows drawing into a frown.

"I never said I won't eat it. That'd be rude on my part. I'd just prefer something that isn't full of grease."

"And, you? Don't tell me you're a little nutcase, too. You don't want to eat the burger because the teriyaki sauce has gluten in it?"

Yui took a bite out of her burger, chewing it with vigor. "I love fast food so much!"

Hikigaya looked at Soushi, and he could see, that neither of them believed that. Between Yui chewing slowly and looking awkward while doing so, she didn't love fast food so much. He indulged in fast food-that's why his sister enjoyed it so much. Growing up, sometimes there was no time to cook, and with their parents gone for days on end, sometimes, they needed something to eat.

Something fast and easy.

"I'm going to get a rental car after this. You two coming?" Soushi posed the question once he finished his second burger in a row, looking at the two girls present.

"I thought we'd take a cab." Hikigaya said.

"No. Too much money. Takes too long." Soushi pulled out his driver's license, smirking just a bit. "I failed my first test before I got this. Besides, have you seen those drivers around those cabs like they're nuts? It's like the Bakumatsu all over again."

"I don't think that's a good comparison." Yukino spoke up.

"I watched four hit, head on-front bumper to front bumper. If they're not going to war, than this is a demolition derby." Soushi remarked.

"How did you fail?" Komachi asked, curious.

Soushi drew a circle in front of him with his finger. "I think what did it is that I almost knocked the hubcap off."

"Really?" Yui asked, eyes a bit wide. "How did you do that?"

"Backing up too fast."

"Seriously?" Hikigaya asked.

"It's not my fault. They came in this little pt cruiser. Does it look like I can fit in a small car like that?"

"No." Yui replied, tone honest.

"You have to register at our DMV to get a Japan license." Yukino said, rather quick.

Soushi waved her off. "That's all good, but I don't have time for that today. I need to get to their place." Soushi jabbed his thumbs at his cousins. "Are you guys coming or not? Yui? Yukino?"

Yui and Yukino looked at each other for a long moment.

"It'll be faster than a cab." Yui reasoned with a somewhat sheepish smile. She wasn't used to someone calling her by her first name so freely. "We don't have to pay either."

"Just don't run us off the road." Yukino said, quick and curt.

Soushi looked confused, before he frowned. He looked to Hikigaya. "Dude, what's her problem? She acts like I'm going to drive us off a freeway."

If this was anything to go by-his life was about to get a lot more interesting.

Sobu High School was also going to be thrown into chaos.

"I couldn't begin to tell you." Hikigaya said, taking a deep breath.

His life was going to be a lot more interesting.
