Authors note: Thank you so much for the reviews! I am so happy that it wasn't a complete failure and waste of time! ＼(^o^)／
Personally, I think that my first chapter went rather well and I am prepared to go into the rest of the story with confidence in my writing skill (However much I have...)!
Thank you for reading and please enjoy the next chapter!

Naru's POV:
"Oliver! Get up!" A loud and irritating voice decided to bless my being with its presence. "Todays the day!"
'Why is his voice so loud?' I thought.
Gene had been trying to get me up out of bed for the past hour. I allowed one of my eyes to lazily open.
"What, pray tell, is so special about today?" I growled out, still silently refusing to get up.
Gene grinned; his eyes had that familiar twinkle of mischief. 'Oh, no. That's never a good sign.' I thought groaning and rolling over onto my stomach.
"Why brother," Gene started. "This is the day we go Mai's house! I thought you would be excited." Gene said grinning innocently. I could practically see the devil horns on his head.
But he was right; this is the day we go over to Mai's house for dinner. Our parents have been planning this for weeks. I felt a weird flutter in my chest. I slowly pushed myself up from my bed and made my way to my dresser.
"Aw! You're so cute!" Gene said still unsurprisingly talking. "All I had to do was mention our cute little friend and up you came!"
In truth, I was really happy we would be getting to see her, not that I would tell anyone else that. However I could not stand the feeling in my gut, that said things would change, and not for the better.
"No you idiot," I said pulling out a pair of black slacks. "I am getting up because the next person, who walks through that door, will be Mother and I am not too keen on listening to what she has to say if I am not awake and dressed." I covered up the little lie while also keeping my face emotionless and my tone irritated.
I just finished pulling out my day time outfit when A maid knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, Sir Oliver and Eugene." She said bowing after she opened the door. "I just wanted to inform you two that breakfast is being served in the dining hall. Your parents requested your presence." She said still bowing.
Gene sighed and rubbed the back of his neck."I'll just go back downstairs with you. But you can tell them that Noll, will be down shortly." Gene said.
"Yes, sir." The maid straightened up and opened the door for Gene.
"Well brother! I shall see you downstairs then!" Gene said loudly as he walked out with the maid.
I sighed. 'Why is it always me that deals with him?' I grabbed my things and entered the bathroom.
'So much for a quiet morning.'
