"Have you heard?"
"Uhhhhh, heard of what? Eggs floating in saltwater? Yeah, I heard of that before and seen it in a science class."
"No, Hoshi... That's true, but not what I wanted to say."
"Oh. Sorry, go on," the girl urged as she laid down on the bench.
Subaru quickly pulled her up from the seat and scratched the back of his head awkwardly as she gave him an odd look.
"The bench isn't the best place to lay down on, Hoshi. Did I wake you up too early?" the boy asked.
"Correction: Did Suyuri wake me up too early. Yes, she most certainly did, but I don't mind. I'll live. As I said before, keep going?"
"Right, I heard a transfer student is coming to our class soon. If you're wondering from who, then I'll tell you one description of the 'mystery' person. I know you know," said Subaru.
"Alright then... Shoot," she responded.
Subaru smiled and leaned back into his seat as Hoshi yawned and hunched herself forward to rest her arms on her lap and her head in her hands.
"Hmm, big glasses."
"Ah, four eyes. Kizamaro, right?" Hoshi quickly replied.
"Yeah. Of course you'd get it on the first try. I wonder if Suyuri is done yet... " he thought aloud. "Also, she told me to give this to you. No clue what is in there, but it's probably more girly things."
He then looked over at the girl next to him as he held over a bag and thought about something for a bit as if he was debating whether to say it out loud or not.
"You don't look like a girly type person..." he murmured." But then again, Suyuri said that she is an idol and idols usually wear girly stuff... I think.. Idols' intentions I guess?"
'A-A bag...?' Hoshi groaned nervously. "I was expecting something small instead.."
Reaching over to accept it, the girl noticed someone coming up with some ice cream in hand and a camera dangling around her neck.
"Thanks, Subaru!~" Suyuri sang happily as she handed over their cold soft dessert.
"You only did that so you could get a picture of us...?" he asked embarrassingly. "... How many photos did you...?"
"Ahhhhh, quite a few!" giggled the female twin. "But don't worry, whatever my brother gave you just now is all real."
"Well it would be unfortunate for me to get an empty bag for the heck of it..." Hoshi said as she peered into it. "... More clothes... and accessories. Thanks, Suyuri... No clue how to express my.. gratitude to you.."
"Not a problem!~ Anything for a friend and especially my brother's-"
"I know what you're going to say, Suyuri... No, she's not my girlfriend!" he exclaimed, his face red from embarrassment. "And delete those photos!"
"Your face is brightly flushed in denial, how can you not be together?" she continued to tease, snapping a shot of Subaru's face. "Totally keeping these."
Hoshi sighed as she began to eat her ice cream before it melted. She noticed that Suyuri bought a strawberry flavored dessert for her and that the color was pink like her hair was. The twins on the other hand had something else. Suyuri was eating a chocolate flavored ice cream while Subaru had the usual vanilla.
"I bought these ice cream based on our hair color, did you know?" Suyuri giggled. "Except for Subaru. He usually eats the classical vanilla flavor."
"Ah, yeah, I took note of it when I started eating," Hoshi replied. "Thanks for treating me, but why did you call me out so early today?"
"Well, I heard what happened and was wondering if you wanted to get out of your house without being bothered by... whoever it was that was bothering you," Suyuri stated. "I also dragged Subaru along since he's a guy and guys usually protect their siblings and mates, righttt?~"
The boy had a bored straight expression on his face as he ate the ice cream quietly and his twin sister continued to nudge at his waist playfully. Hoshi awkwardly laughed at Suyuri's plan and partial logic as she glanced away and finished her dessert.
"Come on! We should start heading off somewhere now!" the female twin exclaimed.
Quickly grabbing Hoshi's wrist after she finished the rest of her ice cream, Suyuri dashed and dragged her off towards the park.
"W-where are we going?" Hoshi asked.
"The park, duh!"
Subaru sighed as he stood up, grabbed their belongings, and followed the girls off in the direction of where Suyuri wanted to go to.
"Don't trip," he called from behind before he picked up his pace and ran. "I don't have a first aid kit nor am I carrying any of you!"
"You're slow!" Suyuri exclaimed. "Pick up the pace, slowpoke!"
"That's because you started running first!" replied the boy.
"Excuses, excuses! You don't need to make excuses, Subaru!"
"I'm not making any excuses!"
By the time they got to the park, Hoshi sat down on a bench near the swing set where Suyuri settle down on and started swinging. Subaru sighed in relief when he caught up and sat down next to the female twin to rest.
"Hoshi, come over here and ride the swings with me!" the girl asked.
'Are you pulling a Misora right now, Suyuri...?' Hoshi thought to herself. "I-I'm fine.."
"Fine? Come on! Loosen up. That person won't come get you immediately. You need to relaxxxx!" Suyuri said, waving her over.
"... I never rode on a swing before... I don't know how to either..." Hoshi muttered awkwardly.
Silence suddenly took over the three as the twins stared at Hoshi blankly, not moving or blinking for a single second. It made Hoshi feel very... uncomfortable.
"... Wait, is this a joke or something?" the said idol asked with a chuckle. "I'm sure everyone rode on a swing set at least once."
Hoshi shook her head and stared back nervously as Suyuri stopped laughing and slowly nodded understandingly.
"I-I see..." Suyuri said just as awkward.
".. Er.. Well, you can start off now," Subaru said, motioning her over to a swing.
"I'm goo-"
"Let's go!" the female twin suddenly cut in, dragging her off the bench and onto a swing.
"I said I'm good..!" Hoshi continued to refuse.
Of course, Suyuri didn't listen and continued to do whatever she could just to get Hoshi to ride on a swing and get a feel to how it's like.
"This feels... not that bad.." Hoshi commented as Suyuri pushed her forward as she swung back.
"Remember to swing your legs back when you swing backwards and forward when you go forward!" the girl reminded her.
"I think I'm good..." said the pink haired girl. 'I just want sleep.'
The girl's transer suddenly began to flash, catching both twins' attention as she curiously looked at the device on her arm. Answering the call, Hoshi took in a deep breath and opened the transer up to see who it was calling her.
'Hoshi!~' Misora chimed, causing Suyuri to suddenly perk up curiously. 'I'm free today, you want to hang out?'
The girl then noticed the background in her own transer moving back and forth. The colors were bright, mostly vibrantly filled with green and blue.
'Wait, are you already out? How rare!' she said.
"Yeah, got dragged out of bed early today.. Anyways, hang out where?" Hoshi asked as she stopped herself from swinging to show the rest of the playground.
'Shopping! I still haven't taken my mind off that yet! You went with someone else and yet refused to go with me...' Misora commented, faking a sniff.
"Oh... Yeah, sure.. Later. I'm not available at the moment," chuckled Hoshi. 'I didn't have much choice last time anyways...'
'Aw, okay. Give me a call when you're available then!' Misora said. 'I'll drop by before we head out. Bye!~'
Hoshi waved as Misora smiled and ended the call. Closing her transer, the twins looked her curiously to asked who it was. Knowing that if she told them about the idol, the two would suddenly flip out and asked her random question about Misora, well that's what she thinks.
"Who was that?" Suyuri asked excitedly.
"A friend. I'll be hanging out with her later after this."
"She sound like the famous idol, Misora! Is maybe the idol your friend?" the girl continued to ask.
Not wanting to be questioned any further Hoshi only shook her head and got off the swing.
"Nah, that's impossible. I've never seen her close up before," she lied awkwardly. "So of course she would not be my friend."
"It'd be cool if she was though...!" the other idol exclaimed.
"Uh, yeah... It would be.." Hoshi said awkwardly. 'Thing is she is a really close friend to me...'
"But do you think we should come too? You're still being followed aren't you and your friend isn't aware of it right?" Suyuri asked.
"I think she'll be fine," Subaru intercepted. "Her friend may get uncomfortable with us coming along. She doesn't know us."
"That's true, but..."
"Maybe next time," Hoshi said. "You guys can meet then. Don't want to surprise her an all today."
Suyuri smiled apologetically as Subaru just shrugged an nod.
"Alright then, before you do go, what else does Suyuri here want us to do?"
"Hm... Let's go sight seeing! I haven't really gotten around much ever since I got here... Want to show me AMAKEN, Subaru?" the female twin asked.
Stormy: School, tired, sick, ughhh... Help meeeeeeeeeeee..! Yeah, I got sick again. Same month, same sickness, bunch of homework, studying, less sleep time, hahahaha... -vomits- I've been creating so many OCs -sweat- Aiyaaaaa... Hahahahaha!
Hoshi: -Pats- She needs sleep.
Stormy: Do I? Yeah I do. Huh. Oh well. So anyways, someone on Wattpad asked me if she could add her OC into the story! Yep. Ummm, her appearance will probably be in the next chapter, ahahahahaha. Ask me anytime if you want to add your OC. I'll try my best not to kill them. Loool... -sweat-
Everyone: R&R and please do enjoy! Sorry for slow update! Please bear with me.
