Couple of days have passed since Kirigiri's arrival and she has slightly gotten comfortable with the three siblings, she was closer to Makoto than any other student often joining him for lunch or asking him to be her partner for pair based activities in their classes; of course she was also comfortable with the twins but they tended to pair up with each other anyways.

During their Friday after school Kyoko was playing a game of chess with Junko; the two having high analytical prowess were on a stalemate since they had both managed to corner each other's kings.

Makoto came out of his room and went to where the two girls were playing, "Kirgiri-san, mind if I ask you a few questions?" he asked, but the detective wasn't paying attention, "Sure." Makoto smiled and took out a notepad and pencil, "Ok then. What's your favourite colour?" he asked, "Purple." Makoto noted it down on his notepad, "Ok what do you like?" there was a slight pause when the girl moved one of her pieces, "Hmm, roses would be one and ribbons is another." she answered, Makoto nodded enthusiastically as he continued to note things down.

"Thanks." the girl replied with a hum as she moved another piece earning her victory. "What?!" Junko exclaimed, "Good game Enoshima-san." Kyoko said as she held out her hand for a handshake, which Junko gladly took.

"By the way what was Mako asking you?" Kyoko gave her a confused look, she wasn't paying attention, "Uh I think it was my favourite colour and what I liked?" she answered remembering what the luckster asked no too long ago.

They both headed to the kitchen area where Makoto had begun to cook their dinner, beef stew, "Mako." the boy turned his attention away from his cooking to the girls who were staring at him.

"What's up?" he asked before returning to a pot of stew, "Why did you ask Kirigiri-chan, about her favourite colour and things?" Makoto didn't answer but merely pointed towards Kirigiri's door, which confused the two.

"Since its Saturday tomorrow I was hoping to go and buy some things to decorate Kirigiri-san's door, but of course I meant to tell you, but I just wanted to get an idea."

Kirigiri gained a tiny blush when she heard Makoto wanted to help her with such a trivial task, "If you want you can come with me to buy them." he added, Kirigiri was about to say something but Junko had beaten her to it "We'd love to! Right Kirigiri-chan?" Kirigiri merely nodded which made the girl grin.

...

The next day rolled by, Makoto, Junko and Kirigiri have had their breakfast and were ready to head out to buy the supplies to decorate Kirigiri's door, "What about Ikusaba-san?" asked Kirigiri who was sitting on the sofa with Junko, "Muku always sleeps in during Saturdays, because she spends Friday afternoon reading and in the evening playing her online games." Junko explained, that came as a surprise to the detective as she never would have thought that the soldier plays online games.

"Well we can't really stop her, so I just left her breakfast there on the table with a note." Makoto said walking up to the two, he pointed to the table where a plate of food was neatly wrapped in clean film and a small note leaned in front of it.

"Let's get going?" the two girls nodded at the luckster and they all made their way out to buy the decorations.

Since the inner city was busy their main mode of transport around was the subway system. Luckily for them they left the hotel early meaning they were able to get some seats, unluckily for them people instantly recognised Junko.

"Hey look its Junko Enoshima."

"Oh my god its her that really pretty model."

"Hey, its that hot chick I see on my sisters magazines."

The constant murmurs of people made their ride somewhat awkward but Makoto was already used to the attention his sister got whenever they went on public transport.

"Hey whose the guy with her?"

"Why's she with him?"

Another problem of being siblings with a popular person is the status difference. Makoto being an ordinary boy cannot compare to Junko's high model status, so comments and whispers regarding them being together was also normal.

Junko and Kirigiri would hear the envy and venom of people's voices towards Makoto, but Makoto himself doesn't seem to worry about it, in fact he's playing on his phone ignoring everything around him.

"Enoshima-san, I understand that you're popular and all but why is Makoto being talked about as well?" Kirigiri asked quietly, leaning over to the blonde as to not make anyone else hear it, "Well people don't really know we're siblings so that may be a factor as to why people are talking about him." Kirigiri understood her reason, since they don't have the same last name she doubted anyone pinpointed that they were siblings.

...

They soon arrived to the station they needed to get off at, when they got out Junko stretched her arms while Makoto and Kirigiri followed behind her.

Kirigiri was worried that the comments may have affected Makoto's mood, so she had to see if he was okay, "Naegi-kun are you ok?" she asked gaining the boy's attention, "Yeah why?" he didn't seem affected but that may have just been a front, "Well people were saying stuff about you." she said in a soft tone, "Oh those, I'm used to it by now. If I were in their shoes I'd be confused as well." he answered back before walking forwards to Junko.

They walked to a hardware store where they began to look at some paint for the door, Junko was looking around the multiple paint cans that had different sizes while Makoto and Kirigiri were picking out the shade of purple she wanted.

"How about this one?" the luckster said presenting a light purple card, "Too light." Kirigiri answered, so Makoto placed the card back and searched for a new one.

After a couple of minutes of searching for the right colour they finally settled on something that had a similar shade to Kirigiri's jacket but a tad bit lighter. They ordered the paint and bought a couple of disposable paintbrushes as well.

Next up was a shop that was filled with wallpaper and other decorations.

"Woah! That's a lot of wallpaper." Junko commented before they began to search an appropriate wallpaper.

Junko suggested a wallpaper with several dark red roses, but Makoto dismissed it saying it will blend with the paint making nearly impossible to see. Next was a wallpaper with orange ribbons but this time it was Junko who didn't like the idea saying it looked too plain. It was another hunt until they found a wallpaper which met all their criteria.

It was a golden vine patterned wallpaper with four golden roses at each corner, "Now this, is what we're looking for." Junko commented which made the other two nod their head in agreement.

...

They all returned home where Mukuro (who was now awake) waited for them and was currently reading one of her books.

"We got it sis. You wanna help out?" peering over her book Mukuro saw the bags of decoration then closed her book and placing it on the table then going over to the others.

"That's all?" she asked, "We're only decorating so its not much. Ok everyone since we'll be painting I suggest you all go get dressed into something you won't mind getting dirty." Makoto said to them, they all nodded then went into their rooms to change.

Makoto just putting on a random t-shirt went ahead and prepared the decorations as well as several newspapers for the paint, soon the girls came back out in t-shirts.

"Alright! Let's get started!" Junko exclaimed fist bumping the air.

They all began by painting the entire door, halfway through the activity Junko decided to paint her sister which made her retaliate and paint her back. Kirigiri tried to stop them, only to get caught in the crossfire, "Ok you two cut it out before you paint something else... huh?" Makoto was cut off when he saw the girls slowly approach him with their paintbrushes and evil smiles.

"Oh boy."

They eventually got the door painted, as well as themselves. Junko had paint blotches around her cheeks and parts of her hair, Mukuro had several painted spots on her face including her right eye, Makoto was not given mercy as his face was smeared with so much paint that he looked like he didn't have any air to breath, Kirigiri was the least damaged one (except her clothes) with only several dots scattered on her face.

Since they needed to give the paint time to dry, Makoto told the girls to wash up while he cleaned the area. When the girls finished Makoto went to clean himself up, he took longer as he needed to get rid of so much paint.

Once everyone was refreshed the paint had dried up so they only needed to put the wallpaper on it.

With a little glue they attached the four golden roses at each corner while the vines outlined the door, it was magnificent. Compared to the other's doors Kirigiri's had a mystical, fantasy feel to it and what made that was a the golden wallpaper going around the door.

"It looks great don't you guys think?" Makoto asked the girls in which they hummed in response, "Now then, lunch." Makoto said as he made his to the kitchen to prepare their meal.

...

On another day during their free time after school Makoto and the others were invited by Leon to go to a karaoke bar. He did this since another person was also there, Sayaka Maizono, the Ultimate Idol and Leon's all time crush, so by going to the karaoke he was going to show off his 'skills'.

When they arrived at the karaoke they rented a room and punched in everyone's names that were present, so that was:

- Makoto

- Junko

- Mukuro

- Kirigiri

- Leon

- Maizono

- Chihiro

and - Yasuhiro

"Alright let's get started!" Leon exclaimed. Everyone took turns to sing a song, after every song the leader board would show up, everyone has had a go except for Naegi who was last.

Singing wasn't everyone's forte there were those who sang with confidence like Leon and Sayaka, then there were those who were a little too shy like Chihiro and Kirigiri; but what stood out to everyone was Mukuro who was 2nd place in the leader board, it came as a surprise for most but her siblings knew better than to doubt Mukuro's singing, she was very good at it, she even once sang in their middle school before going off to Fenrir and got a medal for such talent.

And so there they were everyone was now just awaiting the last person to sing, Makoto, who was slightly nervous at the fact that he was last meaning everyone was glued unto him, "Come on dude. No need to be embarrassed if you're bad at it, we're all friends here." Leon said trying to assure his friend, but he also wanted to just tease the boy as Maizono had a little crush on the luckster.

"Ok." Makoto gulped down a lump in his throat and selected a song. Then placing the microphone to house lips he began to sing the song.


Woah, woah
Woah, woah

If you're a lover, you should know
The lonely moments just get lonelier
The longer you're in love
Than if you were alone
Memories turn into daydreams become a taboo

I don't want to be afraid
The deeper that I go
It takes my breath away
Soft hearts electric souls
Heart to heart and eyes to eyes
Is this taboo?

Baby we built this house
On memories
Take my picture now
Shake it til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories

Woah, woah
Woah, woah

I think of you from time to time
More than I thought I would
You were just too kind
And I was too young to know
That's all that really matters
I was a fool

Baby we built this house
On memories
Take my picture now
Shake it til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories

Woah, woah
Woah, woah

Those thoughts of past lovers
They'll always haunt me
I wish I could believe
You'd never wrong me
Then will you remember
Me in the same way
As I remember you

Baby we built this house
On memories
Take my picture now
Shake it til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place

Baby we built this house
On memories
Take my picture now
Shake it til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories

Woah, woah
Woah, woah
In your house of memories
Woah, woah
Promise me a place (woah, woah)


What surprised everyone was the fact that Makoto sang like an expert despite the fact that the luckster wasn't even paying attention to the song, he was just singing with his eyes closed but since he knew the song he managed to sing it with near perfection.

Leon's jaw dropped straight to the floor at the shock, while everyone else began to cheer for Makoto.

...

After a few compliments from his friends, and with a little bit sorrow and envy from Leon everyone returned to the hotel where Mukuro, Junko and Kirigiri kept on pestering Makoto on how good he was at singing.

"I never knew you can sing bro?" Junko said elbowing her brother playfully, "Well I just really liked that song so I picked it." he replied rubbing the back of his head embarrassed.

"But Enoshima-san is correct. You have a good voice Naegi-kun." Makoto slightly blushed at Kirigiri's compliment, which didn't escape the eyes of the model, "Aww is Mako blushing?" Makoto became flustered waving his hands in front of Junko, "What?! Of course not!" this just made Junko giggle, while Mukuro tried to hold in her own laugh.

Kirigiri was confused, what was making him so flustered?

"Naegi-kun are you ok? You're red." Makoto shot his head towards Kirigiri telling her that everything is fine. Quickly calming himself down, Makoto went ahead of the others which only amused his sisters more and confused Kirigiri more.

Despite the others not seeing it Makoto knew he was still blushing, he was just glad that he was gonna reach their apartment soon because as soon as he went in he headed straight for his room and laid on the bed.

After a while Makoto had calmed down and had prepared dinner. He called the girls down and served their dinner, curry.

Everyone began eating and the girls savoured the curry's flavour, it wasn't too spicy but still had a kick, the texture was rough yet creamy and the chicken and vegetables were just the right softness.

If anything, the girls learned that Makoto may not be an artist or an idol, but his cooking was divine to them.

End~
