"I did it! I made it!"
"Congratulations, Aya-nee!" A 13-year old Ema hugged her sister and Ayame smiled. She managed to got into Robo Tech with her invention. "Thank you, Ema."
"I told you, you could do it." She turned around to see Tadashi standing behind them, holding a bouquet of flowers and his face was red as he smile at her.
"T-Tadashi!" Ayame stuttered as he walk close to her and gave her the flowers. Ema was currently jumping in excitement. She knew Tadashi planned on confessing to her. With her help, she told him all of her sisters favorites and also that her sister has feelings for him which made hope bloom on his chest.
"Here, it's your favorite right?" He asked as he watched her. "Yeah..." She hugged the flowers, close to her chest. Tadashi took a deep breath. "Ayame... I wanna tell you something..."
"What is it...?" Ayame gulped and felt anxious. Ema was silently cheering for Tadashi behind them.
"I-I have loved you ever since we were kids." Her eyes widened as Tadashi rubs his head. "You are always there for me whenever I need you. You always support me and guide me throughout my problems." Ayame could feel her tears welled up at the corner of her eyes.
"Whenever you are with me, I feel more alive and ecstatic. You make me feel weak, jealous, anger and love. And I realized how much I love you and need you."
"So I ask of you..." He held her hands and look into her eyes, flashing her his cute and dorky smile. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
(Sounds like a dem Marriage proposal for me xD)
Ayame moaned in pain as she stretches her sore arms. She was once again stuck in the lab with her teacher, lecturing some things very unrelated, like love.
"Listen very well Ayame. Guys are wolves in disguise and you can tame them if you use the right approach!" Her teacher pull out the whiteboard and started lecturing her.
As if the heavens heard her prayer, a clerk came to the lab and told her that she has a call.
"I'll be right back. We're still not finish with the love talk, Ayame!" The indigo haired girl just shrugged and began playing with her phone as her teacher went out. As she left, Ayame then called Ema out of boredom and of course, worry.
Once she heard her picked up the call, she could hear music and screams of girls. She could tell Ema was in some kind of a concert or event.
"Hello Emmy?" Ayame waited for a response as all she could heard were squeals of women.
"Hello Aya-nee!" Ema finally answered as she sigh in relief. She thought someone must have took her sister phone and accidentally called a contact.
"Where are you right now? It's so noisy there." She asked worried.
"I'm currently with Yusuke-kun at an event." She can hear Yusuke voice amidst the noise.
"Event?" She arched an eyebrow.
"Yup, Tsubaki-san and Azusa-san is currently having an event of the game they voiced in Panzer of the Dead."Ema happily said and she could hear some girls screaming in the background.
"Lucky... While I'm stuck here in the lab with Shiho-san." Ayame wilted as she lay her head on the table switching the call from speaker to loud.
Later she heard Yuusuke talk to her sister. "Let's go, Tsuba-nii and Azu-nii are on their way back to their dressing room."
"I see... Say hi to Shiori-san for me, Aya-nee!"
"Okay... Be careful while going home, okay?"
"I will!" Ema responded and in her amusement Yusuke also responded. She could imagine the redhead's face right now. Soon, the call ended and Ayame face plant on the table.
Her teacher returned a minute later. Ayame groaned once she started her lecture again. Penguin cringed and covered his face.
Arriving back home, she entered the kitchen only for Juli to jump on her. "Chii!" Noticing that she was not Ema, he stopped midair only to land in the ground after a few seconds. She then remembered where they almost kissed here and Hikaru appeared before their lips could touch. Coincidentally, Ukyo was there.
"A-ah! Ukyo-nii..." She almost forgot that Ukyo is in charge of the kitchen.
"Ah! Ayame-san, welcome home." Ukyo flashed a smile at her and she nodded back. "I-I'm back..."
"Would you mind if I leave things here to you?" Ukyo asked as he remove his apron. Juli now climbed Ayame's shoulder and kept on asking if Ema was alright. "I have a trial tomorrow and I would like to prepare for it." She raised a thumb up.
"All right, you can count on me."
"Incidentally, Wataru is the only one who has finished eating. Tsubaki and Azusa both have work, Iori is attending lectures," He stared at the whiteboard with the schedules of the brothers plus their (Ema and Ayame) own plans. "Louis is working a late shift, and the schedule indicates they'll all be eating out." She now took a peek at the schedule.
"The rest of them do not appear to have anything going on, but no one has come home." He clarified.
"I see." She answered.
"Yusuke and your sister?"
"Both of them went to drop by the bookstore to buy study guides."
"I see." An awkward silence befall between them.
"About what happened-!" Both of them spoke in unison making them stop.
"You first, Ukyo-nii." She motioned the nale to speak first and he cleared his throat.
"About what happened back in that night... I'm truly sorry about that." He apologized and Ayame looked at the side, her cheeks flush pink.
"I-It's fine, I'm sorry also..." She told him and Ukyo smiled at her. Amidst the sweet moment, a ring came from her phone. She flipped up her phone to see who the sender is.
"Oh? From the brat?" Ayame raised her eyes brows in suspicion. Juli peeked from her shoulder. "That twisted pop star, huh?"
An irk mark appeared on her emotionless face and Ukyo watched her.
From: Bratty Idol
To: Baka Onee-san
Title: Taping Year-End Special
"The taping for the year-end special is running late, so I'll be staying overnight today.
Once I have time, let's go on a date together.
My adorable baka Onee-san~❤"
-Message End-
She stared at the message with slight annoyance as Juli hissed as he read the message.
"So what did Fuuto say?" Ukyo asked and Ayame closed her phone.
"It appears his taping session is running late, so he'll be staying overnight today."
"I see." Soon her phone rang once more and their eyes widened. Ayame picked up the call while Juli listened in curiosity. "Now it's a phone call! Who is it?"
"Hello?" She answered and a seducing yet playful voice spoke.
"Hello, imouto-san?" Ayame's eyes widened and moved her phone away in shock.
She looked at her phone before answering the call, her cheeks slightly turned pink.
I don't remember giving him my phone number... Well I guess Masaomi-nii might have given our (Ema and her) numbers to the other brothers in case of emergencies.
"Kaname-nii?" Unknown to her, Ukyo's eye twitched.
"That depraved monk, huh?" Juli said outraged as he continued to listen.
"I was planning on having a dinner with you tonight, but I've gotten stuck with having to go eat with a patron." Kaname said in a whiny tone and Ayame arched a brow in amusement.
"I see. I understand."
"That's cold, don't you think? What I'd really like is for you to say Aww—" Kaname's call was cut off when Juli took the phone from Ayame and began shouted even though squeaks are only heard in the other side.
"You damned degenerated monk! Stay in your temple and don't come out!" The critter then pressed the end button. Ayame looked at Juli with wary as if he will later throw the phone.
Soon her phone rang again and she now took it from the phone from the angry squirrel before he might really throw it. "The bastard doesn't know when to stop!" He angrily said.
"Hello?"
"It's me." Ayame's eyes widened again with a small blush on her cheeks. The purplehead massaged her temples.
"Masaomi-nii?" Another eye twitch from the now stoned faced Ukyo.
Juli was unusual calm. "That seemingly harmless eldest son, huh? But he's a damn scoundrel, calling Aya-chii directly!" His calmness soon disappeared and the enraged squirrel reached for the phone.
"I have a patient who took a sudden turn for the worse, so I can't come home." He explained and Ayame frown in worry.
"But you spent the night there yesterday, too, didn't you? Will you be okay?"
The sound of a telephone ringing could be heard from the background. "I appreciated that. I need to go now." He soon ended the call. She soon took a deep breath and faced Ukyo.
"It seems Masaomi-nii will be staying at the hospital again today." She said.
"I see. But why are they all calling your cellphone?" Ukyo said with slight jealousy in his tone but Ayame of course, didn't took note of it. She and Juli looked at him, confused at his disappointed expression.
"What?"
"Such calls had always used to come to me, so..." Ukyo trailed off and Ayame is slightly panicking inside.
"Then, I will leave the rest to you." He then climb up the stairs and Subaru passed him. Ayame looked sad upon seeing Ukyo's expression a while ago.
"I'm home." Subaru smiled at her. Juli now hissed and getting ready to lunged at the male. She grabbed Juli and hugged him so he will not attack the poor male.
"Welcome back." Subaru then stopped walking noticing something. "H-hey, where's everybody else?" He asked looking quite nervous, she noted.
"It seems everyone is coming home late today..." She said as she now walked to the kitchen. "I'll get dinner ready right away."
Juli continued to hiss at the male as Ayame glared at the critter.
"P-Please."
Soon the two ate dinner seating opposite to each other in the dining table. Ayame and Juli watched as Subaru continue to eat in a fast pace.
She sweatdropped as she watched him.
He really is awkward around girls...
He then stood slamming the poor glass on the table. "Thanks for the food." He walked away not collecting his used plates etc.
Ayame watched, annoyed that he just left his and bowl in the table, not bothering to pick it up and clean it.
"Restless sort of guy, isn't he?" Juli commented unamused along with the purplehead.
He then stopped and turned to them. Juli and Ayame flinched in surprise and acted normal.
"Right now, I've been dropped from the line up and I'm not in any games," He looked at her with intense gaze as she stared unsure what to react.
"But I'll get back in the regular line-up for sure, so..." His cheeks were now pink and look to the side, his coolness replaced with shyness. "When I do, I want you to come see me play." He declared as he started to walk away again.
"Did he just..." She mumbled to Juli who also at the same time spoke. "Does he...seriously think you as..."
After a few days
Ayame and Ema were at the shopping district to buy food and to buy the newly released yaoi manga.
"Aya-nee..." Ema looked at her sister quite flustered, seeing the front cover is a half naked cute brunette guy being hugged behind by a hot blonde brunette guy who's already topless, kissing the guy's neck.
Sweet Temptation (18+ HardcoreEdition)
Ema yelped at the title and began turning red. Ayame was already grinning in victory as she raised the book up in the air while the other customers are looking at her weirded out before going back to looking for some manga and some books.
Suddenly, the floor began to shake making all of them alarmed. Ema clutched to her sister in worry while Ayame didn't care a single damn thing except the manga.
The manager went to the door to see in the distance many girls running towards the store. The poor guy screamed before jumping back to the counter to hide as the group of women and girls dashed inside the store disrupting the peace. Ema looked at the huge crowd of girls and women running towards them.
Ema immediately dragged her sister away and escaped the chaos. They soon began fighting on who will get to buy the limited edition manga.
"—I got it first!"
"—No! I got it first!"
"—Let go! That will be mine!"
"—Like hell you will!"
Amidst the chaos, the two sisters now walked towards the counter and paid for the book. The manager was still quite jumpy but managed to get his job done.
Ayame rejoiced hugging the book and kissing it while Ema sweatdropped. She looked back at the counter to see it full in line and the girls pushing each other. She silently prayed for the poor guy's life.
