I know... I write too much about Misaki. I CANT HELP IT.
And guys... I don't know anything about gymnastics...
Misaki is 19 years old here.
MISAKI POV
I woke up from my afternoon nap to loud laughter coming from downstairs. I groggily sat up and rubbed at my eyes. Throwing myself over the side of Usagi's bed, I started to walk towards the sound.
Oniichan (A/N: Oniichan right...?) and Usagi-San were sitting on the couch. Oniichan had a small digital camera in his hand. The two were squished close together, trying to get a closer look at what was on it. What the hell were they giggling about?
I started to walk downstairs, rather noisily trying to get the attention of the two. It worked, Usagi-San looked up at me and smiled.
"Misaki, come here and look."
I walked behind the couch to see the small device. What I saw made my face go red with embarrassment. Oniichan was showing videos from when I was in gymnastics as a young boy. The screen showed me in a tight solid black leotard and a pair of boy shorts. I was standing on the corner of a tan bounce mat. My hands were thrown into the air elegantly before I took off in a sprint. I could see myself doing front flips, round offs, and handsprings as quick as a bunny.
Niichan switched to the next video. This one showed me, I was standing on a tall balance beam. My face showed the emotion of fear though. I started to bend my knees getting ready to flip but I stopped and jumped off.
"Oniichan, I'm scared!" The younger me cried, my voice was so high that it was cringy. This was only about 7 years ago too...
"It's okay Misaki... You can do it!" You could hear my brothers voice coming from the camera as well, he sounded exactly the same.
I looked over at Usagi-San, he was smiling so much it was creepy. When he saw me staring, he smirked and gave me a wink. I stuck my tongue out like a child.
Looking back at the screen, my huge green eyes were glazing over. Niichan guided me back over to the beam and gave me a thumbs up. I responded with a tiny smile, I stood back up and was starting to get ready again. I turned around and bent my knees, I'm guessing I was trying to do a back handspring. After a few deep breaths, I finally jumped.
But I fell off... I could see my foot slip, causing me to tumble off the side of the beam. Niichan yelled fearfully and ran over to where I was. The camera was pointed to me on the floor crying.
"Niichan I think that's enough..." I tried to grab the camera out of his hand. I didn't want Usagi seeing this.
"Aww... Fine. But only if we go outside and show us if you still got it." Niichan said with a smirk. Why is he being so evil right now!?
"Yeah, Misaki. Shows us." Usagi spoke up with a small chuckle.
I threw on a pair of shoes and started to walk out the penthouse with a pout.
We went to the grassy back yard of the apartment building. Niichan and Usagi sat next to eachother off to the side watching closely.
"What am I supposed to do?" I asked curiously.
"Do a flip." Usagi said.
"Well... what kind?"
"I don't know any names. Takahiro, what's the one where you run and flip like this..." Usagi was using his fingers to show what he meant.
"... Um, I think that's a front hand spring. Misaki, I don't think you remember any of your routines so just show us your warmup moves we would practice at home."
I raked my brain, trying to think of everything we worked on. I could only remember a few moves, it would work for now.
I started to step back, giving my self room on the grassy field. I took off sprinting into a front handspring and then did a simple round off. I did a quick 180 degree turn and bent my knees slightly. I did multiple back handsprings, trying as hard as I could to stay in the same general place. In the middle of one I stopped halfway through, going into a handstand.
Staying still, I could see Usagi-San staring at me with a gentle smile. I smiled back at him with a short laugh. This took my energy away and my arms gave out, I tumbled to the ground with a thud. I sprawled out on the grass looking up at the bright cloudless sky.
"Ow.. Hahah." I laughed, it was nothing to get upset over.
"That was wonderful Misaki, minus the falling part." Nicchan giggled as he walked over towards me. I sat up, Usagi was also making his way towards me. He held out his hand, I grasped it firmly as he tugged me back to my feet.
"I've got to go back home, it's almost dinner time. I should help the wife out." My brother said with a sigh.
We all said our good byes as we watched him get into his parked car in front of the building. Usagi pulled me to his chest in a warm embrace. He grabbed me and carried me bridal style back up to the penthouse. I didn't protest, no one was around to see us anyways.
When we got inside, I turned around and Usagi-San started talking to me.
"I didn't know you could do that sort of stuff, Misaki." Usagi said softly as he stared down at me. I chuckled and scratched behind my head in embarrassment.
He pecked my lips and whispered into my ear. "Maybe we can try out your flexibility tonight." He smirked.
"PERVERT! No way!" I screamed at him, he just chuckled as he hugged me softly. We stayed like that for a few minutes, just swaying softly in each others arms. I may not show it too often but I honestly don't regret doing one thing with this man.
