Before the Storm (New Year's Special I)
by Tempest35
"Here ya go," she handed him the small cup.
Ichika took the cup and looked at it before glancing back up at her. "Sake?"
"It's a new year and I say it's okay, so..." she sat down beside him, holding her cup out to him. "Happy New Year, Ichika."
He tapped her cup with his own lightly. "Yeah, Happy New Year, Chifuyu-nee."
Smiling at each other, they both downed the sake in one motion.
"Uub, wow, this has some kick," Ichika winced, coughing a bit to Chifuyu's slight amusement. Beer was one thing, but she rarely drank sake unless it was for special occasions. "Why so strong?"
"Hm, because I'm thinking of having your virginity taken tonight," she told him in a deadpanned voice, pouring herself another cup.
"...oh," was all he said in reply, staring at the cup.
Wait for it...
"E-EEEEHHH!? Wh-what do you m-mean by that!?"
"Oh shut up, I didn't mean it," she swatted his head with her free hand. "Honestly, why would I do something like that?"
"Because you're repressed," Madoka supplied helpfully as she appeared at the stairs, wearing a T-shirt and shorts. Ichika swore he heard Chifuyu growl at the mini-clone of herself.
"Ichika, remind me why you felt obligated to 'save' this one," she turned her glare on the male. Ichika quickly knocked back another drink and looked away.
"Because he's stupid – the last season show proved it," Madoka smirked, unmindful of his slumping shoulders. "Still, why is a new purple see-thru robe with black frills and little purple flowers hanging carefully in your closet, 'Nee-san'," Madoka smirked "Surely you didn't - "
Ichika didn't even see Chifuyu move before she appeared right in front of Madoka and slammed her against the wall. "You little brat - ! Who told you to go through my stuff!?"
Madoka barely winced as she resigned to stare right at Chifuyu. "It's an imouto's duty to go through her onee-chan's things."
"Like hell it is!"
Ichika blinked. "Wait, Madoka - is it the one with the tiny lilac flowers and the frills shaped like leaves?"
Both the Orimura women blinked - Madoka in confusion and curiosity while Chifuyu seemed to develop a twitch. "Um, yeah, I guess?"
"Ah don't worry about it then," he poured himself a cup of the sake again. "That was something I picked out for her already."
Madoka was a dead ringer for the cheshire cat with the grin she sported. "Oh really~!"
"Shut UP, Ichika," Chifuyu growled, at the same time, her fingers tightened around Madoka's neck.
"What~" Ichika looked back. "That's nothing compared to what Madoka got when we went out."
Madoka's grin faded faster than she could summon an IS. "Don't you dare, baka Ichika!"
Chifuyu raised an eyebrow at Madoka's reaction then released released her before dashing up the stairs to the girl's temporary room. "No! Don't look!" The smaller Orimura dashed up the stairs after her, their feet drumming heavily against the wooden floor.
"It's a neesan's duty to embarrass her naughty imouto when she misbehaves," Chifuyu called out. "And here it – Hoo, there's a hole in the crotch…"
"STOP IT!"
"I wonder who this was for~"
Ichika cringed as he heard loud thumps erupting from upstairs. He put down the cup and quickly donned his shoes and a jacket. Staying inside this house for New Years would be very bad for his continued health...and sanity.
