(3rd Person POV)

"Hey?" Asked Kirino in a stern voice. "Are you going to Manami's house tonight?"
They were in Kirino's room as an "early life counseling". Kirino was sitting on the bed knee crossed, while Kyousuke was sitting on the pink carpeted floor. Kirino glares at her brother but Kyousuke just sits there with

"Well, It depends on mom and dad" replied Kyousuke. He was tired and it was 6:00 and he called Manami to inform her that he may or may not come for the sleepover, to which she replied in a kind voice "It's okay Kyou-Chan".

He looked at his sister who has a grin on her face. 'Is she satisfied with my answer?' he thought. Finally, he could get out of this place. "you are free to go now." 'Phew' he thought with joy. He went downstairs to talk to his parents about the night but he doubts they would be there since he hadn't heard their greeting once they arrive home. But he was surprised when his mother was there.

"Oh, hello Kyousuke," said Yoshino.

"Hi mom I didn't know you were here." replied Kyousuke.
Yoshino mockingly facepalmed and said, "ha, I forgot my greeting, sorry Kyousuke, I was busy with groceries and didn't know you were home."
The atmosphere brightens a bit as Kyousuke proceeded to walk to the kitchen counter to see what his mother was cooking. He could smell what seems to be curry. Kyousuke felt horrible since he has eaten nothing but curry the whole week.

"Kyousuke have you found a job yet?" The question caught him by surprise.

"um, no not yet" replied Kyousuke. He was worry of course 'what if she is asking me to move out?!' he thought. 'no impossible' he thought and push his thought away.

"Oh, ok just wondering but get a job soon, you need to be on your feet one day" The last part worried him. "Don't worry. I am just saying I am not kicking you out Kyousuke =.=." This relieved him a bit and he realized that his jaw was dropping the whole time. His mother laughs and went back to cooking. "It's almost ready, go call Kirino"

"Ok mom" With that Kyousuke ran upstairs, he reached her door and knocked two times. He waited for his sister to answer.

"What do you want?" asked Kirino in an annoyed voice.

"Dinner is ready, come downstairs" replied Kyousuke, who seems to not be affected by the voice.

"Fine" was all she said before she slammed the door in his face. Kyousuke's eyebrow twitched before he sighs and left.

They sat for dinner, clearly, someone missing: their father, which excused for a welcoming party for a new recruit who earn a promotion. They sat and ate in silence until Kyousuke spoke. "Mom, can I stay at Manami's for a sleepover?" Kyousuke worries that Kirino would punch or kick him in front of his mom, but instead she spoke up.
" Can I go with Kyousuke too?" This shocked everyone, but their mother's answer shocked Kyousuke more. "Of course, this would be a good opportunity to get back together with Manami." Kyousuke glared at his sister with anger while she smirked at him." 'of course, his sister would interfere with him and Manami' he thought. He never thought of Manami as a women but instead, he thought of her as a sister. 'Why would she interfere' He thought. His thoughts went away when his mother told them to behave in Manami's house. After they ate dinner they went upstairs to prepare. they were sitting in Kirino's room in silence until Kyousuke broke it.

"Why did you want to go with me?" said Kyousuke raising an eyebrow.
"No reason" Replied Kirino looking away. This raised a few alarms in his head but shrugs it off. "Well, well come on let's go Manami is waiting for us.

They brought their pajamas and sleeping bags. as they walked to the 'neighbor girl's house' they argued about to not call Manami Neighbour's girl. The argument ended when they arrived at the door of Manami's house. The house was not modern but still have some western designs in it. The house was a Japanese style house that was also a Japanese candy making store. They knocked and was greeted by Manami,

"Hello, Kyou-chan! and oh.." Manami looks at Kirino surprised."Oh, Hi miss Kirino"

"Yeah,yeah save it for later where are we sleeping." replied Kirino in an annoyed tone.

"ugh, Kirino don't you have any manners?!" said Kyousuke to Kirino, clearly angry.

"Its O.K Kyou-chan, I am more than happy Kirino-chan came as well, come in"

With that, they all went inside and was greeted by Manami's grandfather "Ah, hello Kyousuke, I see you found a girlfriend and left for Manami, eh?" Said the old man laughing.

Kyousuke yelled to the old man for misinterpreting his relationship with Kirino, while Kirino glares at Kyousuke. After they talked about school and a few jokes about Kyousuke at the dinner table they all were tired, Kyousuke was going to sleep in a room while both girls were going to sleep in another room. But of course the old grandpa got tricks up his sleeves, he arranged Manami's bed with Kyousuke while Kirino's bed was next to Kyousuke. The grandpa laughs as Kyousuke reacts to his arrangement and insisted that he would sleep like this or he have to sleep with him. He has enough of this and accepts the arrangement to which Kirino and Manami laughs.

"That old man he will pay" he mumbles. Kirino laughs while Manami fell asleep. Kyousuke almost fell asleep when he felt something behind him. 2 hands hugging him. He knew who this was too well. It couldn't be Manami since she was in front of him. He just shrugs off the hug as a sisterly hug nothing more until the body of the hugger came closer to his own body and their face was right next to his ear. He became aware of their close proximity and decided to quit playing around and argue with the hugger but his body decided not to listen. He knew why because of this the hugger was warm and cozy and it's just too comfortable to let go. He fell asleep before he heard something, faintly.
"Good night, Aniki"
