Finally! I updated a chapter xD
WARNING! GRAMMATICAL ERRORS AHEAD!
It. Was. Hell...
The elder Hinata sulked on the way home with her younger sister. Why she is like this?
Ayame was happily humming as she walked towards her favorite bookshop along with Ema. It was already afternoon, their classes are dismissed. Since both of them have the same schedule at some days, they always walk home together but there are times they don't when Ayame is in Robo Tech.
"My beloved baby~ Here I come~" The older female sang out making the brunette giggle at her sister's antics.
As they were arrived, she immediately ran at the shelves where BL mangas are contained, she searched for her beloved manga. Ayame froze once her gaze landed at the empty space.
"Nee-chan...?" Ema stare at her sister, nervousness present in her tone. The said female was shaking, her eyes shadowed and mouth ajar.
A big sign, SOLD OUT smacked the female in face, dropping her bag in shock and disbelief. They were standing there staring at the sign for a few moments until Ayame screamed bloody murder.
Apparently, her favorite BL manga got sold out as soon as she and Ema arrived in the store they always go to.
Ayame was whimpering as her sister comfort her. Ema had to admit it was quite funny seeing her reaction, but at the same time she felt bad.
"Nee-chan, it's alright. There could be other bookshops that has the volume you want." She reassured Ayame who was still sulking. The brunette sighed at her attempt. Sakura petals then fell before her making her stop. Noticing her standing rooted, the petals caught her attention. She look up to see the cherry blossom trees.
"It's beautiful..." Ema said smiling.
"To be honest, it still never fails to amaze me." Ayame confessed as she stared at the cherry blossom trees, feeling nostalgic. The two stared at the trees for awhile before walking again on the way home.
Ema glanced at the fallen petals on the side of the road, she thought of the outside. I should sweep this up later.
Upon arriving at the street they live in, the brunette ran as soon as they were close to the complex. Ayame ran afrer her, coping up with the pace. The female was not much of a runner or energetic. Also she is more of brains not sports that's why she suck at their P.E class despite being gifted.
"What's the matter, Em?"
"I'm gonna sweep the petals in the garden!" Ema left Ayame standing in the entrance. She tilt her head, her face blank.
"Should I tell her that everyone has a task before its too late?" She muttered to herself, sighing entering the building.
Upon arriving, she went outside to the garden to see Ema talking to Iori. The male noticed her and sent her a smile.
Is it my imagination or he's shining...? Ayame sweardropped at the male's shiny smile and aura. Normally girls would melt at the sight of him sparkling but she ain't ordinary.
Ema pouted. "Aya-nee, you could have told me there were others who are in charge of other work..." Ayame raised her arms. "I kinda forgot and was about to inform you when you left me hanging down there."
Iori chuckle at the two sisters' exchange. "I should stop you two before you go fight each other." The two girls stare at the male, confused.
"We're not fighting, Iori..." Ayame pointed out and Ema nodded. The male's cheeks flushed red in embarrassment but soon shrug it off.
"Here some flowers for two lovely ladies." Iori handed them the flowers he just picked. The brunette smiled and thanked him while she was staring at her flower for a moment before nodding.
Ayame lay down her bed as she finished changing her clothes. She thought of the flower Iori gave her.
"Red tulips... Confession of love..." Her cheeks turned pink at the thought. She had a slight crush on Iori when she met him at first, but it soon vanished after becoming close and getting know him. She also frowned since Iori gave Ema the same flower.
"I might be overthinking this too much." She muttered but the memory of him giving her flowers that night resurfaced. She groaned loudly as start to roll back and forth on her bed.
Since Ema was still playing her game, Ayame decided to help make dinner with Ukyo and she is now currently in the kitchen with the said male. In front of them was a huge thick meat.
Ayame's eyes gleamed as she stare at the meat. She could already she how delicious it will be.
"To make up for the cherry blossom picnic the other day, we will have a feast today." Ukyo explain as the indigo head now look at the meat, unsure.
"Um, how do you cut this?" She asked as she hold the knife. "I've never dealt with such large piece of meat before..."
"Oh, then I will do it."
"No, I think I can do it, if you could just teach me."
Ukyo began demostrating what to do with his hands and arms. "Apply light pressure with your left hand to hold it in place and following the grain..." Ayame nodded as she listened closely to his words.
"Well, I say that but it is hard to explain with words." Ukyo admitted while Ayame just sweat drop.
"Please excuse me for a moment." She felt Ukyo leaning close behind, as he held her hand.
"Like this." His head was right beside her, she could feel his warm breath as he spoke.
Ayame tried to calm her poor heart but it made worse as she could feel Ukyo's toned body through his clothes.
I swear I'm like a pervert right now... She screamed in her thoughts trying to tone down her blush. Damn hormones... He guided her hand holding the knife towards the fat meat laid in front of them.
"Hold it there..." He stopped her hand holding the knife on the meat. "And the knife...goes like this." He leaned close to her body not knowing Ayame is mentally panicking.
"See? There is nothing to it once you get the hang of it." His breath tickled her ear.
"T-Thank you, Ukyo-nii..." She try to remain calm. Holding the knife, she applied what he told her and managed to cut half of the meat.
Silence befell between them as they cook.
"Its amazing how you are able to handle all of the chores here, Ukyo-nii." She confessed out of nowhere that made the male pause at whatever he was doing. He sent her a smile before glancing back to his chore.
"Since Mother is always away, I had no choice but took over the role of being the figure to my younger siblings and in the kitchen." Ukyo said and Ayame stare at him with understanding.
"I can relate to that. Father has always been away due to his work, I learned to be independent and help raise Ema while he is away." Ayame softly said as she gaze at the boiling pot infront of her.
"That's why I admire that." His blue eyes widened at her words. A warm feeling swallowed his whole chest. As his gaze linger at her, he felt his pulse knew it was wrong but his feelings were betraying him.
He gingerly wrapped his arms around her waist. Surprised at the gesture, she turned her head to him. He captured her lips with his, catching her off guard. Ayame turned her body and Ukyo pulled her close. She was They were too immersed in the kiss, forgetting the poor meat. The kiss didn't last long for they need to breath.
"I can no longer ignore it... This feeling..." Ukyo stared into her eyes with such passion that she felt slight fear. She was so confused on what she is feeling and their odd behavior.
"Ukyo-nii...?" She lowly spoke as his arm pull her body flush to his. Before their lips touched once again, a voice interrupted them.
"What are you two doing fooling around?" Ayame immediately push Ukyo away but not to hard.
"Hikaru!/Hikaru-nii!" Both of them exclaimed. The cross-dressing male raised an eyebrow. Ukyo cleared his throat while Ayame stare down at the floor, her face flaming red and she fiddle with her fingers. Hikaru shot her a knowing glance as she dart her eyes around avoiding his gaze.
"My, my." Hikaru mischievously grinned but it didn't reach his eyes. He slowly took a few steps before crossing his arms.
She nervously glance at the two men. There was a heavy tension between them that Ayame made uncomfortable. Seeing Ukyo and Hikaru glaring at each other, she felt like their bond being brothers are at stake.
She thought as she anxiously glance at the two, contemplating whether to break the tension or not.
Since Ukyo doesn't have much scene with Ayame, I decided to make a long scene of him with her. I hope the readers who are rooting for Ukyo liked it!
Please tell me if I managed to get him still in character or not. (・ω・ ) (;ω;)
