OooOooO

Wearing a warm set of green pajama and cat-shaped flip flop, Miura Yumiko walked toward the fridge in Miura's household kitchen. Her parents were currently on some kind of business travel, but they promised they'll come home tomorrow, and her sister and brother were went outside, so she's all alone by herself in her home.

Her condition is much better than yesterday but she still need to take some rest and that's why she decide to not will do any chores today especially knowing how protective her sister is.

But there is still no breakfast now and she were hungry, so that's why she decided to cook something quick to fill her stomach. Alas, when she opened the fridge, there's nothing inside the fridge except for a few snack, some can of MAXCOFFEE and milk's carton on there.

She then sighed and fixed her red-rimmed round-shaped eyeglasses.

"Tadaima! Nee-chan! I brought a breakfast!"

All of sudden, she heard her sister yelled from the front door which then followed with several steps toward the kitchen, and she didn't expect the guess behind her sister who has a pot of rice on her hand.

It was no one than Hikigaya Hachiman whom had become her acquaintance yesterday.

His hair was tied into ponytail and he wore a green apron over a white sweatshirt and a casual pant. An awkward smile adorned his face as their gaze met, making Yumiko blushed by the unusual sight of the former's smile, before he lifted the pot on his hand.

"Sorry for the intrusion. Uh... I guess I made too much for breakfast, so... Want some?"

OooOooO

From Miyu to Hikio

Chapter 7: They're Enjoying The Talk

"I-I'm really sorry if my sister and brother bothered you, Hikigaya-kun!" Yumiko said as she bowed slightly on the dining table.

'Now she was talking the way like how she usually did in her school, even though without her boomingly loud voice. I guess it was a habit of her now.' Hachiman thought to himself.

"It's fine. I guess this is what people usually do when their neighbor have a problem, so it's fine." And as the situation not as extreme as yesterday, Hachiman now can talk to her like normally how he did to others and without stuttering.

Four plates of curry were already set upon the dining table while they're already taking a seat. They then clapped their hand together and muttered, "Ittadakimasu."

Silence soon enveloped the room as they ate their curry peacefully. However, Yumiko wanted to talk about something to Hachiman knowing that she now have a friend from her school who didn't mind with her true self. But she was too afraid that the boy might think she was annoying and too noisy.

Surprisingly, she wasn't the only one who wanted to talk about something right now. Hachiman was usually like to eat in silence and not a fan of a small talk. But now he doesn't know why but feels the need to talk about something with Yumiko.

And of course, their stiffness didn't pass through Miko who then became affected to it. Now she never belief the time she become a thirdwheel between her sister and some guy would actually came. She then sighed inwardly.

"Hikigaya-san, your sis- I mean brother said you can pull off the 'same trick' as him. So I wondering, are you... into that?" However, she never noticed that she herself was also a really terrible talker and topic chooser.

Hachiman blushed madly after she asked that and shot the girl beside him a glare that startle the both Miura's sister because the amount of cutesy he'd omitted, "O-oi, never put me together with him. I'm not like him! When I did 'that' it was always when I lose a bet or something to him! K-kuso..."

"Well I'm just curious, I never saw you doing 'that' but it seems like you'd enjoy it a lot from Ichika-san's description. And why are you become so mad about that?" And unknown to her, Miko now was straight up and highly probably enjoying teasing the poor Hachiman who still blushed especially when he looks like a girl for a split second.

But after a second, she then realized what had been transpired in her mind and soon shut her mouth up while her brain paused for a brief second. 'Wait, did I just imagining him wearing a very cute outfit? Am I also having a weird fetish too? What the heck?'

Miko Miura has found a new fetish.

"Um, what are you guys talking about?" Yumiko who was completely clueless about the topic asked to both of them.

"Nothing!" He exclaimed loudly. Before muttered, "A few people who knew this was disturbing already and I don't want another people from Soubu know this too. My little sister doesn't even know about this, goddamnit."

"Um... okay." 'Well, let's not try to push this. But I didn't promise I won't look up for it though.' Even with timid personality, Miura Yumiko is surprisingly had a high curiosity.

"Wait, Hikigaya-san. Talking about little sister, are your sister's name is Komachi?" After recovered from dazed state, Miko suddenly asked to Hachiman who had a spoon ready to enter his mouth.

"Uh... yes and why are you asking about her?" Being a siscon, Hachiman unsurprisingly became defensive although his face was still a little red.

"Ah, no, actually we're a friend in class and I just curious..." 'What the heck with his siscon-ness? Now if I look at it again, why do my sister and he have lot similarities? Is this some kind of crappy fanfic or something?' Unfortunately, yes it is, much to my dismay.

They then continue to talk even though two of them weren't a people person, well, with Miko help obviously. But they still don't know how and why, they feels really enjoying this and tried really hard to find something to talk at each other, well mostly Yumiko who tried.

Suddenly, a realization hit Miko and made her stood up, "Ah, nee-chan. I think I need to go out to fill our fridge." She said as she took all of the curry plate and put them in the sink.

"Ah, okay." But she wasn't okay. She afraid everything will get awkward.

And of course, being an obsessive sister she was, Miko could see the nervousness on her sister's eyes. Now she is pretty sure that she was their thirdwheel.

Out of their sight, she tapped Yuu's shoulder and whispered, "Yuu, take both of them to play something and don't tell them I ordered you to do so." The former stared at her for a moment, before a realization seems like come to his mind from his expression. He then gave her a thumb up.

'Sometimes, I'm afraid that my brother would become a more dangerous person than me.'

The buzzing sound of fighting game and several shriek of character that got hit rung softly in the room. Yuu seems really focused while the two teenagers just try to distract themselves from the awkwardness with the game.

They're now playing a beat 'em up game and choose to play fight all mode with Yuu sit in the middle of the couch, separating them from bumping each other and worsen the atmosphere. They occasionally glance at each other because their mind couldn't focus on the game.

"Um... Miura." Hachiman started. "I really, really sorry about what happened yesterday. If think about it again, I'd technically do a sexual harassment on you yesterday, so, sorry." He explained, guilt clearly dripping in his voice.

"I-its okay, Hikigaya-kun!" The girl quickly replied sensing the saddened voice of the former that end up making her feel horrible, "Like I said yesterday. I was the one who should be thankful to you. I mean, I could end up in more terrible state, besides; I and Yuu will end up starving if not for you." She said, staring at his widened turquoise gaze in determination behind her round glasses even though she then quickly averted her gaze.

"Anyway, Hikigaya-kun." After a few moments, she started again.

"Are you using an eye contact like I do in school?" She muttered, looking again at his beautiful turquoise eyes that replace his dead-fish eyes.

Hachiman's eyes were certainly mesmerizing to look. If someone stared at them long enough, they could have been hypnotized by it. But surprisingly, Yumiko didn't mind about his former black eyes unlike how everyone else. And that's why she'd asked him.

Funnily, Hachiman also find that Yumiko that appear like this was really cute. He always though gyaru like her uses makeup and a lot treatment to make them beauty, but he truly admitted she's very cute with a really casual and simple look. Well, unfortunately, he obviously won't tell her about that. Or maybe he?

"Ah, yes, but... how I can explain this..." He then held his chin with his hand, contemplating something in his mind while giving a few glance at her.

He then sighed, deciding that holding a secret on her would give him no good. 'Explaining to her now was easier than keeping a secret.' But Yumiko took his silence as a sign of 'asking too much' and worries began to creep in her mind.

"H-Hikigaya-kun, if you-"

"It's actually pretty stupid..." He muttered, cutting her off.

"This is actually my actual eyes and the dead-fish eyes are a contact." He claimed between chuckles, which somehow sound like music in her ears.

But ignoring the weird feeling, she was really surprised at his revelation, "Huh? Aren't people wear a contact because they want to, like, look attractive?"

"Yes, I know its weird right? But you see, my eyes were actually not like this until few months ago." At this, her confusion grew even bigger. He then continued, "Well, let's just say something happened and I'll explain it for later day. So, because my eyes weren't like this since I born, only... two peoples know about this, not even my parents and sister knew this, and now it added by two for you and Yuu." Yuu then stared at him and winked, which obviously weirded him out

"S-so, this is some kinda 'confidential' secret, huh?" she muttered, before giggling lowly, the latter can still hear it though and he didn't complaining, "Well, I think its kinda fun to found something about you again, Hikigaya-kun." But this one didn't reach him though.

"Anyway, Miura. Why did you didn't bring a glasses in school?" Finding a good topic, the latter then continued their little chatter.

"Eh? Uh, well, I afraid I'll get the bullies attention and ruin my b-bitchy façade. Um, why are you asking it?" She glanced at him behind her round glasses.

"Well, it's just... really, really suited your cute look and I don't think you need to wear any makeup in school...!" 'Crap, I blurted out.' Well, he did that.

The former startled and blushed at the latter's blunt answer, but he still continues, "A-and I don't get the idea why you need to be the now 'fire queen' to save yourself."

"W-what do you mean?"

"I mean, if you have the enough confident to become the 'fire queen', why don't you just become an average cute girl? I mean, being fire queen is pretty nerve wrecking, right? I heard people also pairing you to someone in school." she then lowered her gaze, deep in thought before releasing a regretful sigh.

"I guess you're right... but I think I can't do that now. People has recognized me as 'fire queen', so being a normal Miura Yumiko was maybe out of question now. I appreciate your concern though." She then smiled warmly, making the latter looking away with slightly red cheeks.

Hachiman then went deep into though as his mind wander around from the game and the conversation. He wanted to say that she can still become your average 'Miura Yumiko', but she needs a support to do that and not to mention she need someone to protect her from the swarm of teenagers. Why didn't he just do it and help her? It's because it wasn't his obligation.

He doesn't see the need to help her and he don't want to intruding her life. But it still didn't sit right in his heart to turn blind about this. Unfortunately, his grim expression didn't get away from the former's attention and the atmosphere became heavy all of sudden.

"Yumi-nee, Hachi-nii, why are you all quiet all of sudden?" Luckily, Yuu asked to them innocently, lifting the atmosphere a bit.

""A-ah, it's nothing."" They simultaneously said, surprising both of them of course, which then make them released a sigh, simultaneously again.

"S-sorry, Hikigaya-kun. I think I've made the situation unease, like how I always do..." She then chuckle lightly, awkward smile adorned her face.

"No, I think it's my fault. So, sorry." He then smiled back at her, before he pondered about something in his mind. "Anyway, Miura. Uh, I'm not usually doing this but... d-do you want to exchange contact with me?" Now he didn't dare to look at her because the embarrassment, but he held out his phone to her.

But surprisingly, the former stared at him for a few moments in silence, enough to give him a fear of rejection only to hear, "So that guy who smile behind the tennis court is really you!" She exclaimed, loudly.

"Huh?"

"H-hyah!? Did I just say that loudly!?" Now she was the one who blushed and red beet like a tomato, and then we have two tomato heads being watched by a little child who look completely clueless.

"A-ahem. So what's up with, uh... that, statement...?" The latter started, still beet red though.

"W-well, let's just say, I saw you smiling, like, a lot. Sorry... it's kinda creepy huh?" With no better condition, the former replied, though this time, Hachiman stared at her, eyes widened in realization.

Did she think his smile is creepy too? He thought she was different from people in the cl-

"Y-you should smile a lot, Hikigaya-kun."

"Eh?" 'I didn't misheard it did I?' he thought, "Why? I thought you found my smile is creepy." He said, visibly pained although now mixed with confusion.

"N-no, what I mean creepy is me, oo- st-staring, ack! How I rephrase it?... hell with it." She took a deep breath, "What I mean is creepy is myself staring at you at the school, so, I'm so sorry!"

"Putting that aside though, you should smile a lot, Hikigaya-kun!" And the latter was obviously surprised by her statement.

"R-really? Isn't my smile will scare people away?"

"No way. Why would your smile scares someone?" Hachiman thought she was joking, only to found out her serious expression that caught him off-guard.

"E-eh? Are you serious? Well, um, I think... I'll try that..." they grew silence for A moments, "Anyway, would you like to get my phone Already? It felts Awkward, y'know."

"A-ah, sorry! Wait for a second, I'll get my phone!"

And that day, both sides take serious but fair casualties at the heart, but they're, unconsciously, felt hella happy, especially Yumiko, she can't sleep because she want to text the latter but afraid to annoy him.

Meanwhile...

"Nee~ nee~, Miura-san. Do you think your sister is cute when she with my brother?" It was the sweet, innocent voice of Hikigaya Ichika. He was currently in department store, buying some weekly or maybe monthly necessities. Or maybe not.

"What are you talking about, Hikigaya-san? A-anyway, you're too close." And that was the voice of Miura Miko, who wished to be anywhere but with him. But she couldn't do that because she was still buying some supply, at least the former have the decency to help her brought her stuffs.

And she was obviously very suspicious to him for meeting her in here and suddenly asking some random question like that. Still, his question ring inside her head. Did she want to find her sister a boyfriend who will make her happy and not just simply a friend? Her old self would seriously scoff that idea, but now she can't help but to think hard about that.

"That's okay, Miura-san. I also think she was really cute especially with her glasses on." Miko freeze as he said that, "And she also has a very beautiful voice while her song is good too, right?"

' How?' The latter questioned, 'He never met her in person, so how? And heck, how he even know she-'

"It's okay, Miura-san. I wouldn't do any harm to her. Well I dug something about her, but I didn't do any harm, I swear." He explained, a very innocent smile adorned his face and sent a shiver down to Miko's spine.

"I just wanted to test something, like you, but it's really hard if we can't give them a purpose to meet, right? But worry not, my brother is also doing the same thing."

At that, she stared at him, eyes widened with some anticipation she never knew she'd held.

"And I was his manager. So..." He then held out his empty hand to her, "Won't it be a good idea if we paired them together? And I also think their voice and style were a perfect match, so why not?"

At that moment, she knew what kind of trade she'll make with the devil himself and hopes she won't regret it later. Well, she will not regret it, cause this is gonna be wholesome.

Thank you for reading this chapter.

Man, I really need to learn how to flow the situation in writing. I think this chapter is lacking something and I can't help but felt easy for this.

So, what with the last part? It's obvious that you're gonna made hachiman as a singer.

Hey, don't spoil it idiot. Your leak is too obvious, idiot.

Well don't blame me. I mean one of the reasons why I 'like' trap is Miyashita Yuu, so I just wanted to do something with that. but why singer though. Aren't writer is much more plausible than singer for hachiman? And why do you always paired him with yumiko?

Dunno, but its fun to write a popular girl have a secret side and relationship with average guy.

But why not just yukino though? She was also popular and hachiman as anonymous writer with yukino secretly being his fan was much more good idea for me?

...

What? Wait, no way...

Narra, you're genius! I friggin love you! I should start! But you have a two fo*kin project, goddamnit! Are you trying to kill yourself!?
