Chapter X: Wake up mix up
The next morning Ryosuke woke up as his alarm clock went off. He turned it off and got out of his bed. I'll take a shower then I'll wake her up so I can make breakfast, as she gets ready. A smile appeared on his face. He thought that since she had made dinner for him and his brother, it was only fair that he'd make her breakfast. It was 5:45 when he stepped into the shower. As he was getting himself clean, he thought about the whole bed scene that occurred the previous night. For a moment he truly believed she was going to sleep with his brother. If that would have had happened, he would have gotten so mad. He recalled when Sara said she accepted her brother's offer: his blood was boiling in rage. Even though his brother had probably offered her to sleep with him as a joke, he couldn't believe Keisuke would do such a thing without consulting him first. What the heck? Why did I even care about that? It's none of my business even if she actually did sleep with him! That's when it hit Ryosuke: yesterday, he was jealous of his little brother. And now that he thought about it, he really, really liked Sara-Chan. Ryosuke literally slapped himself. He didn't have anytime for women. He then thought about how she passed her brother. She's all raw skills: The ways she'd take turns while being right next to the FD's left side and not losing a single millimetre was crazy. The only time she decreased her speed was when she turned on the lights to do the blind attack and then she just blasted out so fast. He also thought of the surprise and the commotion she had caused when everyone found out that she passed the double aces. And that furious look in her eyes… Her beautiful eyes looked so sad right before she got mad. I'm such an insensitive dumb ass. Only me can make a girl upset like that. He got out of the shower and went in Keisuke's room to wake Sara up.
Ryosuke: Wake up Sara-Chan… Oh my god!
Ryosuke gasped in surprise as he entered the room to find Sara lying on her side cuddling the dog, then his brother behind Sara cuddling her. His brother's hand was right on her breast. Ryosuke got a sharp pain in his chest by seeing that and he felt his throat tighten. He also felt his eyes filling with water. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He glanced at his brother again just to notice he wasn't wear a t-shirt. They had sex for sure. They had planned this out yesterday before I got here. He was angry and he was sad. He was confused, so he started taking deep breaths. He then remembered what he went there to do. He tapped on Sara's cheeks until her eyes opened. He saw her looking at him, and then she tried to straighten her body. Then she turned around and looked at Keisuke. Ryosuke saw her eyes widen and looking at his younger brother with confused eyes. That's when she let go the loudest scream he ever heard and grabbing the blankets to hide herself at one end of the bed. Keisuke jumped about 5 feet high.
Keisuke: Ahhh! What's going on?
Sara: You tell me!
Ryosuke: Both of you tell me. Mind you, your sex life isn't any of my business.
Ryosuke glanced at the garbage bin in the room.
Ryosuke: All I have to say is that you could have used a condom.
Sara: What the heck are you talking about?
Keisuke: We didn't have sex.
Ryosuke: Don't try to foul me. As I said it's none of my business, but if I were you Sara-Chan, I'd get out of his bed while he's in it when my parents get here.
Sara: Keisuke, how did you get here?
Keisuke: I don't know, I think I went to the bathroom or something and just came back here.
Ryosuke: Yeah, and then you start cuddling her because you thought she was a pillow. You don't have to worry, I won't tell the parents. Sara-Chan, get ready, I'll cook us some breakfast.
On these words, Ryosuke rushed himself downstairs and got to the kitchen. He never felt like this in his life. He felt as though his rib cage was going to collapse. Now he could fully understand the expression "broken heart". He had that sinking feeling where his heart anatomically is. He didn't understand: he clearly established that he didn't like her and that he had no time for women. Yet it pissed him off. A little voice would whisper unwanted things to him. Why Keisuke and not me? That was a no-brainer: every girl fell for his little brother because he was so wild. I'm just this really boring geek: girls get bored after two minutes talking to me. As he was preparing coffee, he felt Sara and Keisuke's presence behind him. He didn't realise that they had stand there for a few minutes already. He turned around and looked at the two of them with a blank look in his eyes.
Keisuke: Aniki, I swear on project D nothing happened. Look, I remember going to the bathroom and then going back to my room. I was half a sleep. It all was my fault.
Sara: I just woke up and he was there. Heck, Mafia looked surprised.
Ryosuke: Guys, I really don't have time for this.
Sara: Got damn it Ryosuke-Chan. You really have issues when it comes to understanding something really basic.
On these words she left and headed upstairs. She sounded ticked off. Ryosuke looked at his brother and was trying to look as normal as possible even though he was still mortified.
Keisuke: Aniki, I don't understand your reaction. I swear nothing happened. If something did happen, I would tell you about it. Why do you even care?
Ryosuke looked to the floor, then turned around and took some eggs out of the fridge. He didn't know why he reacted like such a freak. He believed what his brother was telling him. He knew his brother would never lie to him. He turned around to look at Keisuke's face and he didn't look confused anymore. His eyes widened considerably and his lips were trembling.
Keisuke: I get it know. You don't just find Sara-Chan attractive… you have a thing for her. Holly cow, that explains it all. No wonder you reacted like that.
Keisuke was smiling. Ryosuke severely looked at his brother and turned around to break eggs into a bowl and start whipping them. His brother was right and Ryosuke knew it. Keisuke figured out what he didn't even want to admit to himself.
Keisuke: So?
Ryosuke: So what?
Keisuke: What are you going to do about it?
Ryosuke: There's nothing to do about it. We don't have time for women Keisuke. Besides, she's not my type.
Keisuke: What are you talking about? The two of you are perfect for each other. Come on, you like her and it's so obvious now that I think about it.
Keisuke was smiling at him with enthusiasm. Ryosuke was dipping bread slices in the whipped eggs and was starting to cook the French toasts.
Ryosuke: Will you join Sara-Chan and us for breakfast?
Keisuke: Heck no! I'm going back to bed. I'll leave you two lovebirds alone.
Keisuke went back upstairs into his bedroom leaving his astonished brother alone with his apron. Crap. Now he knows. He'll harass me with that for months. Ryosuke faced the obvious. He liked Sara. Great! Let's pray nobody else figures that out. As Ryosuke was flipping the French toast, he heard the front door open. His parents were home.
Ryosuke: Good morning mother and father.
Dr. Takahashi: Good night son. Your mother and I are going to sleep. Be there tonight for dinner. I have something to tell you, your brother and your new sister. Clean up before you leave.
Wow! That was direct to the point. Touché father! Thanks for reminding me I can't be attracted to her because it's like she's my sister now. Sara snuck up behind him without him noticing.
Sara: Hmm. It's smells good. I love French toast.
Ryosuke: You scared the living heck out of me Sara-Chan!
Sara: Glad to hear you're not aggravated anymore.
Ryosuke: My brother explained what happened again. I should have known better. I don't know why I freaked out. My brother doesn't lie to me.
Sara: Great. I just wanted you to know I'm not like that. I can't do certain things with just anyone. On top of it you're brother's not my type: I don't like men who dye their hair. I love men that wear aprons though.
She blinked at him and he felt himself blush. He turned off the element and put the French toasts into plates.
Ryosuke: It's ready.
Sara: Thanks a lot for cooking breakfast for me.
Ryosuke: My pleasure.
They both ate breakfast and then, they went to school. Ryosuke was anxious to find out why his father wanted everyone to be there for dinner. Probably another announcement.
