Chapter 6: Awkward Morning
"Thank you for the dinner, Mrs. Oshitari" she complimented as she helps Kenya's mother wash the dishes. "You're welcome" she smiled, washing the dishes. "You can go start the research project with my son now" she added. "But it's too embarrassing not to help you" Hiraki said politely as she hands over the plates. "It's fine, besides" she paused while washing the plates. Kenya looked at the two women. He sighed & stood up, going up to his room. "It's been long since the three of you visit this house to play or to have a group study" Mrs. Oshitari said warmly, continuing to wash the dishes.
"I'll be going to Kenya-san's room to start the research then" Hiraki said from the stairs as she went to Kenya's room. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. "Aniki locked the door a few minutes ago" the younger Oshitari said as he went in front the door. "This is troublesome..." she sighed, letting go of the door knob. Kenya's brother went in front of the door, holding an old ID card. (A/N: You know that trick in opening the door right? If do then don't ask.)
"It's open now" Kenya's younger brother said with a smile on his face, looking at Mikuni. "If you need any help on my brother, don't be afraid to ask me" he added as he returns to his own room. As soon as the younger Oshitari left, a wide malicious grin on Hiraki's face is seen. 'I think I should ask him for anything embarrassing about Kenya so I can blackmail- I mean to keep him in line...' A mischievous thought was on Mikuni's mind while she was grinning all by herself.
Inside Kenya's room, his spine shivered. "I think I know where that shiver came from..." he muttered to himself. The door opened. Kenya was surprised because he knew that the door was locked. As the door opens, a familiar voice called. "Kenya" Hiraki chirped enthusiastically. "I knew it..." he sighed heavily. Mikuni closed the door behind her & went to the table in the center of Kenya's room. "You opened the door just then right?" Kenya asked doubtfully, going to the table as well. "Nope it was your cute younger brother" she said.
"Pedophile..." Kenya muttered very quietly. Hiraki smiled eerily. "What was that, Ken-kun?" she asked as a dark aura from behind her can be felt. He noticed the aura needs to be bent on someone, pertaining to him. "Uh, it's nothing..." he nervously said to the aggravated girl. Mikuni calmed down a bit & stood up. "You should start doing it now since we aren't in a boring place" she said, sitting at the side of Kenya's bed. "Don't sit on other people's beds!" he complained. "But it's your obligation to treat the guests nicely" she retorted sarcastically, giving him a sarcastic smile. Kenya just groaned.
While Kenya was working on his part, Mikuni lied down for a few minutes. As she was staring at the ceiling, she looked at her hand, letting a sigh out. Kenya stopped writing. "Don't try to fall asleep on my bed" he scolded. "I won't. Who would sleep in an idiotic guy's bed anyway?" she replied sarcastically, looking at Kenya. He just continued doing his part of their research. Two minutes after their conversation, her sight was a bit blurry. "I think I have a fever" she said. "Hm? Did you say something?" he asked indifferently. Hiraki flustered & said, "Nothing, just continue what you're doing." "I don't get you sometimes" he scoffed sarcastically.
A few minutes have passed; Kenya was almost done in his part. He yawned while stretching his arms, looking at the wall clock. "It's already late huh?" he said. He stood up from the table & went to his bed. Kenya just stood a few centimeters away from his bed, looking at Mikuni who was sleeping in his bed soundly. He just sighed & tried to wake her up. "Oi, I told you not to-"
He felt that she was unusually hot. Kenya decided to touch her forehead & as soon as his hand touched her forehead, it backed away for a few centimeters. Kenya just sighed & decided to place a semi-wet towel on her forehead. "You decided to supervise me even if you caught a fever?" he said to himself, lying down on the other half of the bed. Kenya rolled back, facing the wall. "You're an idiot" he chuckled, closing his eyes to drift himself to sleep.
Unaware by her own actions, Mikuni rolled towards Kenya. Kenya noticed that something, rather someone was behind him. "You know, you're too old to-" he said irritated because he thought that it was his younger brother. But he suddenly realized that Mikuni & he were the only persons in the room in this time of night. He let out a sigh & rolled facing Mikuni. He looked at her face, only to see that she was sleeping soundly even if she has a fever.
A slight blush crept on Kenya's face & he decided to hug her. "It's only once anyway" he muttered, being embarrassed on what he is doing.
Sometime in an ungodly hour in the morning, Mikuni mumbled & tried to wake up. 'Hmm... Why is it a bit warm?' she thought to herself, still regaining her composure. She opened her weary eyes, only to find Kenya's face was 6cm apart hers. She pushed Kenya away, only making Kenya wake up half-asleep. "Stop waking me up in this ungodly hour just because I need to accompany you to the bathroom" he muttered unknowingly, because he thought it was his younger brother who was waking him up.
She blinked. "Kenya-kun" she whispered on his ears. Kenya opened his eyes, looking at Hiraki's eyes. "Oh, you're awake" he said, trying to get back to his sleep. "Why is that you're hugging me while I was asleep?" she asked politely with a murderous intent felt. Kenya gulped & immediately let go of Mikuni. "It's not what you think, honest. I can explain" he said nervously as he felt that she was about kill him. "Is that so?" she replied.
'Kami, I think I just made a big mistake...' he thought to himself, hoping that she won't do anything serious to him.
& we are cutting you here... since you know what happened XP. I've already warned you about the slight fluff so it's not my fault if you didn't heed my warning. If you're going to ask me why am I not naming Kenya's 'kaasan or his otouto is because it's Konomi Takeshi-sensei's property XP I know that I can name them for fandom, but I decided not to since I respect other people's works. Kore ja, mata ne
