It was Saturday afternoon, and the Hikigaya household for the most part the residents were still sleeping in. Komachi had just finished her mid term exams and was sleeping off several restless nights of studying. Hachiman, the good older brother that he was, wanted to do something nice for his exhausted hardworking imouto. He had woken up earlier this morning to prepare a nice western breakfast with bacon, eggs and biscuits strewn with strawberries. As he toiled away, he found the results of his labor not half bad. With the breakfast laid out now on the table, he began to make his way toward Komachi's room, hoping his meal tasted as good as it looked.
-Line Break-
Hachiman silently approached Komachi's door, and moved to open it just a crack.
With a hushed voice, he called out to her.
"Uh, Komachi… you wake?" He spoke. The response he received was null.
With an empty response he then entered her room further, and made his way toward her bedside as to wake her without waking their parents.
"Hey, Komachi, you up?" He shook her shoulder slightly.
Komachi, in a half daze, turned upwards at Hachiman. A drowsy smile crept over her face as she outstretched her arms and grasped around the leaning Hachiman.
"Good morning my Darling Onii-Chan." She chimed
What? The oddity of the usage of her address disarmed Hachiman slightly. From this, he did not register the pull toward her, his face inching closer to hers.
When he did come to, his eyes widened as what he saw was the closed eyes of Komachi, and the foreign feeling of connection between his and her lips. After a split second, with Her arms still around Hachiman's neck she disconnected.
"Mou, Onii-Chan… why are you so stiff now? You're usually more bold than this." She whined, still half asleep.
More bold? Does she dream about this often?
As he attempted to move away, he was held firm by Komachi, her arms still around her neck.
"Oh, no you don't Onii-Chan."
She pulled for another kiss, however with this repeated movement, Komachi had come to and with a few moments past she opened her eyes.
Like Hachiman, she too now processed the same feeling of connection vividly, and saw the eyes of her panicked Onii-Chan, her eyes widened and shifted to immediately separate.
"G-G-Good morning Onii-Chan." She managed to stutter in her shaken state now a few spaces away.
"M-M-Morning K-Komachi, I uh, made you breakfast for your efforts in studies and all." He shyly stated.
"O-Oh, thanks Onii-Chan, I'll… I'll be down shortly."
"Mm." Hachiman turned to exit her room.
The occurrence was over in an instance, but the embarrassment and uncertainty lingered as both parties were not quite sure how to handle this.
Komachi, now acutely aware of her actions, felt that she should say something to alleviate the heavy atmosphere.
"Um, Onii- Chan?" She called after him before he left.
"Y-Yes?" He turned back slightly.
"S-Sorry." She whispered. This was all she could come up with on the spot.
Hachiman smiled embarrassingly as he looked at her eyes. Not wanting for her to continue to be embarrassed despite himself wanting to book it out of there, tried his hand at an attempt to alleviate the awkwardness.
"D-Don't worry about it, besides it was quite uh.. nice?" Attempting to grasp words, both Hachiman Komachi's eyes widened at his statement while making eye contact with one another.
"Oh… really?" Komachi asked in surprise.
"I-I mean," Hachiman frantically tried to recover, however, continued to fumble through his words.
Komachi, seeing a now actively flustered Onii-Chan couldn't help but find cuteness in his attempted recovery.
Komachi's expression softened despite her Onii-Chans ramblings and began to smile as she saw him struggle.
"Ill be down shortly Onii-Chan, your breakfast smells lovely." She saved him from continuing further.
"A-Alright then, excuse me." And with that he closed the door.
As Komachi watched the door close, she sat up in palpable embarrassment, was she still in her dream?, or what just happened really happened? Her memories now rushing on repeat.
As Hachiman exited her room, he immediately went to the restroom. From what occurred still fresh in his mind, he went to the sink and repeatedly began washing his face. The memory of their moment was replaying over and over. Eventually he made his way downstairs to the dining table after massive efforts of suppression.
Neither of the two had kissed anyone before with that amount of intimacy, and now after the incident, neither would have to wonder what it would be like, though having their first with each other was unexpected to say the least..
-Line break-
As he arrived, he saw Komachi sitting across from him, smiling as he became seated.
His follow up plan was to ignore the incident that even happened, and continue as per usual.
"Dig in!" He urged, as he sat to watch her first bite. He was genuinely anxious of her response, as he watched her go for it, the anticipation was heavy. As Komachi took her first bite, her face lit up with happiness.
"It's delicious Onii-Chan." Upon seeing this, Hachiman's face softened to a smile.
"Anything for my cute Imouto." While it was a typical thing he'd say, both turned a shade of red due to his statement.
"A-Ah, thanks." She averted her gaze momentarily.
As both began to dig in, Komachi soon became distracted as she began to watch Hachiman eat. Her eyes lowered to his lips, her hand raised to touch her own, in remembering their connection.
So I really did kissed him huh…
Hachiman noticed something peculiar with Komachi, and began to inquire.
"You okay Komachi?" He asked slightly concerned.
"Huh? Oh um… Onii-Chan, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what's up?" He shifted his attention.
"Have… Have you ever kissed someone before uh.. you know..?" She hesitantly spoke.
"I'm sorry, what?" Was the response given, as Hachiman briefly choked on his food he was chewing.
"Ah well um… never mind, it was a dumb question." She recanted.
"Oh.. alright then." Of wanting to press further, he did not pursue.
They continued to eat, and in his efforts to lighten the mood, Hachiman was first to try to get the ball rolling conversation wise.
"So any plans today?" Hachiman asked
"Hmm… no not really, you?" Komachi tossed the ball back.
"Nothing really, maybe read a bit,catch up on some anime." Hachiman was grasping at straws.
"Man, we're pretty boring people aren't we Onii-Chan." Laughed Komachi.
"I more than you." Chuckled Hachiman.
As they sat silently for a moment, the sound of feet descending downstairs was heard, as the two looked at the dining room entrance a familiar face was seen.
"Good morning Okaasan." Komachi spoke.
"Oh, good morning Komachi!" She said cheerily. After zooming past, their mother quickly grabbed something from the fridge. She was one of the thousands of corporate drones of Chiba, and despite her supposed day off, she was called into work abruptly to cover someone's absence.
As she moved toward the door, she stopped to turn back at the two.
"Have a good day sweetie!" She then turned to Hachiman.
"Don't forget to take out the trash." Her demeanor shifted to neutral as she exited.
"Hai, hai " he responded, sounding a bit tired.
As he moved to put his plate away, he looked at Komachi.
"I can put the dishes away, enjoy yourself champ." He stated.
Komachi watched as Hachiman began washing the dishes, his back turned to her.
She then moved next to her Onii- Chan too much to his surprise, and began to empty the trash.
"Ah, don't worry about the trash Komachi, I'll take care of it after the dishes." He stated.
"We'll, I'm not doing anything now, so I'll help you out a bit… thank must of earned me a few points heah?" She smiled
"Sure has." He returned the smile, and ruffled her hair.
"Hey, you're still wet." She laughed as she pushed from Hachimans hand.
"Sure am." He laughed as well, then turned to continue the dish washing.
-Line Break-
After the chores were finished, Hachiman went to his room and continue to read his light novels he had started.
Komachi returned to her room, unsure exactly what to do, she began surfing the web for funny videos .
Soon not content with this, after a time, she moved herself to stay in Hachiman's room.
As she entered, Hachiman looked up from his book.
"What's up?"
"Oh, nothing much, thought so hang here for a bit." She shrugged.
"Oh, sure I guess." And with that, he turned back to his book.
As Hachiman was sitting at his desk, Komachi plumped herself on his bed, then continued to fiddle on her phone, reading magazine subscriptions or watching videos.
It was nice having someone close by, and with it both their comfort increased.
-line break-
Throughout the day, after lunch and dinner, they continued what they had previously, until dusk soon could be seen.
After finishing reading his book, Hachiman turned to see what Komachi was doing. What he saw was her fast asleep.
"Good grief." He shook his head.
Knowing Komachi sleeps like a rock, he figured he would just move her to her own bed. So with a scoop, he was now holding her in his arms.
She's heavier than she looks, he grunted as he lifted her.
Careful not to bump her head off the wall, he was careful of his movements. As he was moving, Komachi shifted her head, nuzzling closer to Hachiman.
As he was near her bedside, he gently laid her down inside the blanket. Already sprucing up for bed, she was in her evening wear, so with a pull up of the blankets. Hachiman departed for his room.
"Good night Komachi, see you tomorrow." He whispered. As he closed her door, Komachi began to speak softly so he could not hear.
"Good night Onii-Chan." She whispered with a grin, before returning to sleep
