Author's notes: If anyone can guess what they
were watching, i'll give them a little prize(The first one to guess correctly...)!
A one-shot romantic fic of the winners choice! (No yaoi, and no yuri! I'm
not against them, I'm just not in the mood to write girl/girl, boy/boy
stuff lately.) Also...arg! This chapter was too short too!

"Everywhere I look I see her smile..." - Vulnerable,
Roxette.
. . .
There had been no movies Mei or Akira had wanted to see, and so they now sat on a couch in front of their T.V. watching an anime Mei had selected from their stash. Tears were threatening to fall out of the female sibling's eyes during one scene. Akira blinked and looked at her as she sniffled. "You okay?"
"Snff...Who cares if he's his sister! That redheaded man is too...i'm not sure...but he isn't right for her! So what if he seems to be going insane, he might get better if he goes to his sister!" Mei stated and looked at Akira.
This was sort of breaching an uncomfortable subject...Akira blinked. "Well, remember, she also has...what was it, an angel that's her ancestor that wants to kill him because he's supposedly the man that...raped...her, reborn."
"So?! He isn't that man, that man is gone unless they bring him out of the poor twin brother...and I know that's what that evil company is trying to do, but still..."
Akira and Mei stopped talking temporarily as the redheaded man was stabbed in the leg with a sharp piece of a metal door by the poor blonde teenager they were talking about, and watched as tears began to fall from the boy's eyes as he told the redheaded man to go on and that he would stay there.
Tears fell from Mei's eyes. "That's not fair~! He deserves happiness too..."
"At least he loves his sister enough to stay there, thinking that she wouldn't want him in an unbrotherly way, or that he might harm her. Remember, the guy they're trying to bring out of him wants her other form. That angel..the ten...ten-thingy."
"I forgot what it was called too..." She sniffled.
The raven haired teenage boy stood up and grinned at his sister. "What would you like for dinner? I'll cook for once."
That got his sister to jump up from the couch immediately. "Let's do it together, then! You're not...well, that good of a cook..." she drifted off slowly, realizing she spoke an insult. "I'm sorry!"
It brought out a laugh from Akira, who was already walking into the kitchen. "If you don't hurry up, I'm going to have to start without you. Don't want to have to eat a burnt meal, ne?"
A worried sound from his sister's lips at the fact that he might be serious, and her hurried footsteps were the sounds he heard in reply.
. . .
"What now?"
"Put it in the oven for a half an hour and then dinner will be done!" Mei said cheerfully and attempted to untie her apron while her brother followed her instructions, but found herself getting it into a knot instead. She blushed at her clumsiness and fumbled around more, only to make it harder to undo. "Uhm..."
Akira blinked as he put his own apron up in the cupboard where they kept things like that after he finished folding it and turned around as he shut the cupboard door. "Hm? What's wrong?"
Mei's blush darkened and she stared at her feet. "I can't untie my apron...could you...help me?"
Her elder brother laughed and walked behind her before removing her own fumbling hands from the knot and attempted to do it himself. After a few minutes, it loosened and the rest went easily. Akira turned her around to face him and grinned. "You may be the best at academics, you may be the best at cooking, but you will never, ever, be better than me in getting knots undone."
It was her own turn to laugh and the redness in her cheeks soon left. She smiled. If Only...
If only days like these could last for ever...
Akira blinked at her gentle smiling expression and began to lose himself in those blue eyes...
If only we weren't siblings...
Mei turned away from Akira at the sudden thought, the suprise from feeling that way being a bit too much to face Akira right now. She tried to look calm as she smiled and went to her room.
"Well, I've got a test to study for tomorrow...I'll be in my room. G'night."
He smiled and went to his own room, only to instead sleep.
