Summary: Sometimes, having a sister with such a strong brother-complex can be odd and annoying. Then again, wouldn't that be calling myself odd too? Minato and Hamuko, siblings, and lovers. A series of very short and random one shots, some romantic, some other stuff too.
One: Outfit
Well, he knew that his younger sister (by two seconds) was odd, loud and anything that could be used to sometimes describe a hyperactive kid. Sure he's seen her carry a huge nagitana to wipe shadow ass in Tartarus, for he was kind of scared when she did that. Last but not least, he was relatively sure his sister had her own kinds of little hobbies he didn't need to know about.
But he was not expecting THIS when he came back. It wasn't anything special or a worldwide epidemic. It was just.
"The hell?"
Yeah, pretty much describes it in two words.
You see, it all started when Minato Arisato walked through the front door…
"I'm back."
Minato Arisato took of his earphones as he closed the door behind him. It was a long day as usual: sleep through classes, sleep through more classes and duke it out with the rest of the kendo club after school.
Oh, he might have forgotten his favourite part, lunch.
The bluenette looked around and saw that no one else, save for Koromaru and Ken playing with a little frisbee. The grade schooler was throwing the ball over to the Shib-inu, who expertly caught it in between his teeth.
"Hey Ken," Minato threw his bag to one side and approached the duo.
"Ah, Minato-san, good to see you," the younger boy looked up at him and smiled, "it was getting rather lonely with just Koromaru and I."
Odd, he thought, you'd think maybe Junpei would be at home or something.
"No one else in?"
"Actually," Ken squinted his brows at the thought, "Hamuko-san has been upstairs in her room for awhile…no, for about an hour already actually."
That was another thought that struck Minato as odd. His sister, spending long hours in her room other than sleeping? He knew she wasn't the kind of girl to fret over makeup or clothing choice.
"An hour…? That's…totally not Hamuko at all."
"Isn't it? Normally she would have come down by now to grab something to eat," Ken unconsciously turned towards the staircase as well, "should we go and check on her? She has really been taking a long time up there."
Minato raised his eyes as Ken said that. Since when did Ken ever care that much about Hamuko? And was it him, or did he just see a blush rise up Ken's face?
He shook his head. It couldn't be that this ten year old boy was…
"Don't need to bother yourself Ken," Minato started towards the direction of the staircase, "I'll go get her by myself."
"Okay then…"
As Minato slowly trekked up the stairs, he could hear that familiar bubbly voice getting closer and closer. What on earth she was doing inside there would soon be known to him. He took a small breath as he stood outside her room door, just in case he caught her changing like the last time, he was prepared.
"Though it was STILL her that didn't lock the door," he mumbled as he twisted the knob, "hey, its me, I'm coming in."
"Minato? Oh come on in!"
That made him freeze up a little, and considered letting go of the knob altogether. Was she not a little…too enthusiastic about this? Did she accidentally lose the homework he had lent her for "reference", or was it something else altogether.
"What am I overthinking this for…its just Hamuko," he pushed open the door, "hello-The hell?"
Staring into the mirror and back to him was Hamuko Arisato. Minato flinched slightly as he stared at his sister. Instead of the usual school uniform, she was wearing some sort of…black and white outfit that he couldn't really help to think that it was one of those…
"A maid outfit Hamuko," he managed to blurt out, "really? I never thought you were into these kinds of things."
"Oh its not really an outfit, per se," the younger twin twirled around once, "its that uniform that I got while working at Chagall Café. The pay was good, and hey, I got this really cute outfit as well."
The bluenette could only deadpan at that. Really, when did she ever start working at that place? He didn't like it, not one bit, for he definitely knew that guys like Junpei did NOT go there to drink coffee or order ham and cheese sandwiches.
"So that's where you've been disappearing to at night…"
"Oh don't make it sound like its all bad," Hamuko crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks, "hey, think about it this way, I can use this money to fund our weapons and armour in addition to all the Tartarus yen we already have? Sweet idea, huh?"
"Not when it involves walking around like that to horny men and Junpei who don't even go there to drink coffee."
The younger Arisato sighed, she hated it when her brother got overly protective like that. Sometimes it just annoyed her till no end-
Unless…
A small smile creeped up to Hamuko's face, causing a Minato to step back, "Uh, what now?"
"I get it now," Hamuko stepped forward, "someone is just jealous because he doesn't get to his little sister run around in a maid outfit, hmm?"
"The-the hell, no!" Minato stuttered, his mouth twisting slightly, "I mean, you know…I'm just concerned that with all those other guys looking at you that-"
"So you are jealous of not being able to see me like this?"
Damn it, he thought to himself as Hamuko gave him another one of her sly smiles. Well, its not like he was TOTALLY denying the fact that his younger sibling looked…cute (though he would not say) in that outfit and it would be lying once more to say that it didn't cause him some minimal form of-
No, he needed to remain calm, very, very calm. Unfortunately, she managed to catch that tint of red that drew across his face.
"Aw, you're blushing! How cute~"
"I am not!"
"Denying isn't gonna help at all," she ran her hand up his uniform, neck and all the way up to his face, "Master Minato."
"This isn't going to be a regular thing, is it, Hamuko?" Minato asked, out of fear and some slight curiosity.
"Do you want it to be?"
He couldn't go and deny that some part of him felt a little excited about this whole…getting trapped with his really hot sister in-an-awkward-situation thing. Right now even as he stared down at his own sister, Minato could see her eyes shining, body pressed up against his and eagerly waiting for an answer.
"Oh for the love of Tartarus…" Minato sighed, "just…promise me you don't dress up like that with the others around, alright? It's already awkward as it is now."
Caving in, he shook his head in disappointment, I am ashamed at myself.
"Whatever you say, then," Hamuko giggled as she slowly inched her face towards his, "Minato-sama."
Now he'd better lock that door in case Ken comes barging in…
Howdy! Welcome to the first of my short one shots of this series!
I like this pairing, as siblings or lovers, like SO DAMN MUCH! (needs moar shipz)
I'm gonna be deathly honest with you, this was one of my first few one shot MONTHS BACK (when I still thought Fate Rewrite was good, but it sucked). I just tried to edit out the grammar and other mistakes I THINK there were! Sorry for quality!
Well, whaddya think?
R and R, yo.
