"Please!" she begged him, quite desperate at the moment for this to happen.
"No"
"Whyyyyy" she whined back
"Why would I hang around your house all day to take care of your little sister?"
"But I promised the guardians…"
"You honestly think that's going to convince me?"
"C'mon, for me?" that cursed question said with such a cute expression
"Okay fine, whatever, what time should I be there…"
*the next day at the Hinamori household*
"Will. This Kid. Ever. Shut. Up?" Ikuto moaned as he fell back onto the living room couch, wondering why in the world he had ever agreed to this. This Ami twerp had been blaring his sister's music, singing along at the top of her lungs in an off key voice for literally the past 4 hour nonstop. Seriously, how was that even possible? For a moment, there was silence, but it didn't last long.
"Why are you her? Where's my sister? Where's your kitty superhero? Why aren't you talking to me? Why aren't you playing with me? Why do you seem so much like a cat? What's your name? Who are you? Are you Onii-chan's boyfriend?" Even if he had planned to answer any of those questions, or maybe ask her some relating to her oddly excessive amount of energy and insanity, the awkward silence was cut off with the bell of an ice cream truck.
'Crap,' he thought to himself 'this child and ice cream? That's it, I'm screwed. Completely and utterly screwed.' He and the girl were outside at this point, unfortunately walking in that direction
"Mr. Cat Man, can I get some ice cream? Pleeaasse! "
"No" he said quickly, but coolly.
"Why? If you don't, I'll hate you!"
"Tough."
"BUT I WANT ICE CREAM! If you don't get it for me you'll be the biggest meanie ever!" Just keep your cool; just keep your cool, Ikuto. She's just a little kid. It'll be fine. "Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? My life is so terrible!" That's when he snapped.
"Look kid, I've had to cut off all important relations in my life, I'm completely broke, living in alleyways, my dad ditched the family when I was like 5, my stepfather's abusive, and my mother is being hospitalized for being manically depressed! Life's rough!"
"You like my sister, don't you?" Breathe in, breathe out.
"WHAT!" what the heck are you talking about!"
"You must think preschoolers are real stupid, old man."
"Old man? I'm 17!"
"Anyway old man, it's obvious that you like her." Before he lost his cool again at the 5-year –old, he looked up to see where they were. The amusement park. Perfect. "neko-kun," the little girl looked up at him with deep, soulful eyes, "can we go on the teacups?"
"I thought you'd never ask," he looked down at her. 'You know,' he thought to himself 'this kid isn't so bad.'
I wrote this late last night, cuz I had a lot of fangirl energy after finishing the fruits basket series. Kyaaa it was beastly epic! (Beast means awesome in my friends and I's terminology)
