This and the previous had been the same chapter at one point, but that didn't feel right. And the last one was just too short, yeah? See, I've been working on this story! Kind of wanted something else to come first, but oh well. I did say no particular order, didn't I?
"Ken should be here soon with the first half of the series," Daisuke explained to his friends on Friday as he slid his key into the door lock. "You have the second half, right Takeru?"
"Yep," the boy in question nodded with a smile. "ALO is in my bag."
"Wait!" a loud voice shouted from up the hallway. Miyako came running, still in her school uniform like the rest of them. Iori ran at her side in his purple t-shirt and khakis. "I brought snacks!"
"Awesome! cheered Daisuke. "Now all we need is Ken and -"
"Hush! I'm watching TV here!" That was when he noticed the sound of Bokura no Ongaku coming from the living room.
"Huh? Jun?" Daisuke ran into the room, almost forgetting to remove his shoes. "What are you doing here?"
"I live here, duh. Or did you forget me already?"
"Like I could," Daisuke snorted. "You've left your stink all over everything."
"I do not smell!"
"Besides, I thought you moved to Tokyo?"
"For school, bakka, I still live here."
"Well go back to school," Daisuke huffed. "My friends and I have plans."
"Daisuke," the uncharacteristic edge to Hikari's voice was reprimand enough to know that she didn't appreciate how rude he was being towards his big sister. Daisuke sighed.
"Welcome home, sis," he grumbled, even though Jun should have been the one welcoming him home. "Can you please get out? We have plans."
"Oh yeah?" Jun inspected her nails, clearly not interested and not willing to give him his way. Daisuke couldn't believe that he'd had the nerve to actually miss her. "What's that?"
"Iori-kun and Hikari-chan haven't watched Sword Art Online," Takeru explained. "We were going to watch Gun Gale together, so we're marathoning the first series."
"Yeah, and Mom and Dad agreed to let me host it here. Everyone else is contributing something."
"It figures you'd contribute the lazy way," Jun commented. "Can I join?"
"Gah! Go back to Tokyo! Why are you even here!" Then Daisuke stopped and blinked. Did he hear her right? "Wait, what?"
"I asked if I could join your little party."
"Why?"
"I haven't watched the whole series either," Jun shrugged. Daisuke narrowed his eyes. Wasn't she the one who got him hooked in the first place? And spoiled the finale?
"Fine," he finally permitted, just as a knock echoed into the living room. "But only because you won't give me the TV otherwise."
Not because he missed his big sister, not at all. Daisuke couldn't stand her.
"And no flirting with Ken!"
