Quick upload since my cousin's birthday cake is about to be cut. Enjoy!


After I exchanged numbers with Kyoya, we said our goodbye's, and I went down to the front of the school where the twins were waiting. Once I walked out of the front doors, I saw the twins waiting by the front gates with a few bags in their hands. As I approached them, I felt a pair of eyes watching me from the back. I smiled a little as I made it to the twins' sides.

"What're you smiling about?" Rye asked as he gave me a strange look. I shook my head.

"It's nothing. Anyway, we need to drop off these bags and get you two some more supplies." I said as I started walking towards my house. They followed and agreed.

"Are we going to be in the same class?" Ray asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Well, since you two are younger than me, no." I said bluntly. Ray deflated and seemed more nervous. "You'll be one year below me, but we can still have lunch together." I added to try and make Ray feel better. He looked at me and nodded. "Just, be careful and remember to be normal teens, kay?"

"Okay." Ray nodded and seemed to be less nervous now. Rye nodded as well. I grinned.

"Now, let's quickly get home and go back to the shopping district."

~ Yay, Time Skip ~

"We're back." Rye said with distaste as we arrived at the shopping district once again. I smirked.

"Yup. Let's get you two supplies and go. I want to eat dinner soon." I said as I made my way to a place that looked like they had school supplies. "You two do have a list, right?"

"Yeah." Ray answered as he fished out the paper from his pocket. He held it out to me.

"Okay." I pushed it back to him. "Go find them and get me when you have everything. I'll be here." I leaned against a wall near the front of the store. They nodded and went into the sea of shelves.

I took out my phone to entertain myself while they were gone. I was playing a quick reflex game and was doing good...

until someone bumped into to me, causing the things he was carrying to fly everywhere.

"Oi, you—" Before I could finish...

"I'M SO SORRY!" He bowed down on the floor. I blinked before shaking me head and laughing. He looked up confused. "What?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I just thought no one would ever bow down this low to me before. But here we are." I laughed a bit more.

"Need a hand?" I asked as I reached my hand down to him. He smiled before accepting. "I'm Remus." I introduced myself as I helped pick his stuff up.

"I-I'm Irie Shoichi." He said as he started to clutch his stomach.

...Yeah, I don't think I should mess with Shoichi...

"Well, here's your supplies." I said as I handed him what I picked up. "Are you working on something?" I asked since he was carrying a lot of things.

"Uh, yeah." He said quickly which made me a bit suspicious. "A-Anyway, I got to go. Thanks for the help!" He said and bowed before leaving.

...Well, that was interesting.

I shrugged before going back to my phone. But after a few minutes, a little girl pulled on my pants. I looked down at her.

"Yes?" I asked as I bent down to look her in the eyes.

"Onii-san, are you a prince?" She asked with sparkles in her eyes. I twitched at the word 'prince' before chuckling.

"No." I patted her head as I pictured the classic prince in my head. "I have never been the good guy." I said ruefully. She tilted her head.

"Then are you the bad guy?" She asked sadly, but before I could answer, "But the bad guys are ugly! You should be a prince, Onii-san!" She tugged my hand.

"Little girl, where's your—"

"Yuki! What are your doing!?" A girl about my age came running. "Yuki, don't run off like that!" She grabbed Yuki's hand before turning to me. "I'm so sorry." She bowed.

"It's alright." I shrugged. "Girls are attractive to cool guys."

"Wha—" I she finally looked at me and blushed. "I-I suppose so." I said as she looked down.

"Onee-chan, doesn't he look like a prince?" Yuki tugged her sister's hand excitedly.

"Um." She looked at me before quickly looking away. "Y-Yes he does, Yuki."

"Onee-chan!" Yuki yelled like she just got an amazing idea. "You should marry him, so you can be a princess!" She grabbed my hand. "Will you, Onii-san?" She asked with puppy dog eyes. I looked at the sister before laughing a bit.

"Sorry, but Onii-san is already with someone else." I kelt down when she frowned. "But, if it doesn't work out, will you wait for me, Yuki-chan?" I asked like a prince would. Her eyes widened before she shook her head 'yes' like a million times. I smiled and patted her head again. "Thanks."

"Um, we should get going now, Yuki." The sister grabbed Yuki's hand again. "Thank you again." She bowed once more before tugging Yuki with her out the store. I waved to Yuki as she looked at me one last time. She waved back happily before disappearing behind people.

"A prince, eh?" I turned around to see the twins carrying two bags each.

"Ah, you saw that?" I asked as I stuffed my hands in my pockets.

"The whole thing." Rye answered with a little smirk. I blushed a little from embarrassment.

"'Will you wait for me, Yuki?'" Ray imitated with a higher voice.

"Oh, shut up." I growled as we walked over to the cashier. "I just didn't want to crush the girl's dream." I pouted as they put the stuff on the counter to be scanned.

"Mmhm." Ray replied sarcastically.

"Tch." I continued pouting while paying for the supplies.

Once that was done, we headed home to drop off the stuff before going to a restaurant to eat dinner. I knew just the place to go.

~ Tiny Time Skip ~

"Here we are!" I announced once we were on front of the place.

"Takesushi?" Rye pronounced. "I'm guessing this is a sushi place?"

"Yep." I answered as we walked in. "This place has awesome sushi."

"Have you tried it before?" Ray asked as we settled into a table.

"Well, I've eaten the owner's son's sushi. It was heavenly." I said as my stomach growled.

"Welcome to Takesushi!" Takeshi came towards us. "I'm Takeshi Yama—" He paused and looked at me. "Remus? Is that you?"
