"Rise and shine! Today is a new day!"

Komachi burst into Hachiman's room, with her signature thousand watt grin. Unprepared for this intrusion, Hachiman spurred upright.

"What the he- oh, Komachi you gave your poor onii-chan a heart attack ." Hachiman was grinning despite the surprise.

"The day is wasting Onii-chan! A day off is no excuse, especially when you have a date tonight!" Beamed Komachi.

"Hai, Hai, I hear you loud and clear, i'll be up in a moment, is that alright with you?" Komachi mimicking a thoughtful gesture then pointed at Hachiman.

"Alright, but if you decide to stay in, i'll drag you out if need be!"

"Uwah… When did Imouto become so bossy?" Hachiman waved her off.

"Someone has to motivate you Onii-Chan, and with no one else around, the job falls to me!" Komachi gleamed as she bumped her chest to emphasize her.

"My hero." Hachiman sarcastically exclaimed.

-Line Break-

At breakfast, both of the Hikigayas sat at Haciman's modest table, casually talking about their agendas. While Hachiman had his usual routine, he was not sure what Komachi wanted to do, seeing that she was here, at his apartment.

"So, what is your plan? Hanging out at home?" Hachiman asked.

"Oh, um, not really sure hahaha. I guess I'll go to the mall for a bit."

"I see, I see." I wonder if Mr. Honji would make the call later today or chicken out

"Well, we finished our grading, and we don't have anything to do immediately so… up for some video games?"

"Well.. it's not exactly the best thing to do in the morning but…. Alright onii-chan, let's play! But you'd go easy on me ri~ght?"

"Of Course."

-Line Break-

"H-how? How can you 8-0 me so quickly?"

"What can I say onii-chan? It's too easy." While Hachiman initially wanted to take it easy on Komachi, he found that it was unnecessary, and after a few hours, she utterly swept the floor beneath him. A fellow can only lose so much.

"Alright, alright, I know when I'm beat." Hachiman rose from his spot next to Komachi.

"Oi, where are you going? You can still beat me in a match!...maybe…probably." Komachi called after Hachiman.

"Relax, did you want something to drink? I think I still have some Maxx Coffee left in the fridge."

"How do you manage to drink the stuff, it's too sweet…"

As Hachiman made his way back to Komachi, he plopped down next to her again.

"Pretty easily."

"Hey! we still have time to kill, why don't we watch something?" As Hachiman cracked his drink open, Komachi watched his face lighten after a swig.

"You know what, if it's that good, mind if I take a swig?" Komachi asked.

"Uh.. sure, are you sure you don't want a different can?" Hachiman asked

"Hm? Oh relax Onii-Chan, it's not likely you'd get flustered over sharing a drink here."

"Ah, of course not." As Hachiman handed her the drink she took the drink without hesitation. After her first swig her face contorted briefly, after taking a moment she began chugging more.

"Oi Oi, Oi, you said a swing not the whole damn thing."

After she was finished, she handed the drink back to Hachiman.

"It's too sweet, but… it's growing on me." A horrified look of realization appeared on her face.

"Pfft, hahaha." Hachiman bursted out laughing after seeing her expression.

"O-Okay, there's no need for an outburst." Komachi was taken aback a bit.

"Sure, sure." He waved.

"So, any preferences?"

"For what?"

"The show I mean."

"Ah, um.. How about Boku to Star no 99 Nichi?(1) I heard from Ms. Harumi, from 4A that it was alright." Komachi suggested.

"Sure, let's see if I can find it." After finding the show, both moved to the couch, as Hachiman moved to one side, Komachi sat near him, with a bit of space apart.

-Line Break-

As time continued, and the two Hikigayas became engrossed with the show, Komachi found herself leaning on Hachiman's shoulder. Both hardless noticed a difference in positions until an alarm on Hachiman's Phone went off.

As Komachi looked up, she found Hachiman staring back.

"Well, I guess it's near time, what is it? Three?"

"Oh, uh.. Yeah, I guess."

After a moment, Komachi shifted upright and Hachiman followed after turning off the alarm.

"Alright Onii-Chan, i'd like to see you off, so go on and get ready!"

"Roger! I'll be back."

As Hachiman left to wear his newly acquired clothes, Komachi felt her heart rate increase more than typical.

After a few moments, Hachiman came back.

"Ho ho, Onii-Chan, I dare say you almost look presentable!" She smiled.

"Ha, I do feel a bit off wearing something like this, but, I would like to make a good impression." He laughed lightly, his hand behind his head as he laughed.

"You sure look handsome, that's for sure! If I were her, I'd be impressed." She continued to beam.

Hachiman's face only continues to redden with Komachi's words.

"Alirgh, alright, you're flattering me too much." Hachiman waved her off.

"Ah, one thing though." As Komachi rapidly advanced toward Hachiman, he was taken aback.

"K-Komachi?"

"Your collar needs adjusting."

"A-Ah, thank you." It was Hachiman now that felt more nervous than previously.

With Hachiman now slipping his shoes on at the front door, he turned back to Komachi, standing and seeing him off.

"Alright, Ill be back around five, are you staying the night again?"

After a few moments of contemplation, Komachi answered.

"Probably not, I ought to spoil Shiro for a spell, but Ill see you on Monday~!" Cheerily she said.

"Sounds good, see you on Monday then, don't forget to lock up after you leave."

"Hai hai!" She gave a salute.

As Hachiman turned, he heard Komachi.

"Oh, and Onii-Chan!"

"Yes Koma-"

*Chuu~*

Komachi had given a kiss on Hachiman's cheek.

"Eh? Why.?

"For good luck!Now don't do anything too wild, okay Onii-Chan?"

"Y-Yeah."

"Mm!"

With the door shut Hachiman was glad his face was not visible to Komachi, as he knew from the heat on his face that he was red as a ripe tomato.

And she wonders why I am a siscon...

"Line Break"

"O-Oh! Hikigaya, over here!" Minari waved as Hachiman attempted to find her in the crowded entrance.

"Ah, there you are! How have you been?"

"Ah, you know so so, and yourself?"

"About the same."

"I see..shall we go Minari?" Hachiman asked.

With a smile she nodded.

"With pleasure!"

-Line Break-

The concert was not what Hachiman was expecting. It was nice, and Hachiman was glad to see that Minari enjoyed herself. Komachi would have liked that concert… he thought

"So, Hikigaya! What did you think?" She asked with a determined look.

"I enjoyed myself, how was it for you?"

"I thought it was great, that was their first concert in a while, but I'm glad they're still doing well as I remembered."

They both smiled. The time was four in the evening, and the two were walking downtown.

"So, Minari, would you like something to eat?"

"I could go for something, what do you suggest?"

"Hm.."

As Hachiman looked around, he spotted his and Komachi's usual spot.

"Do you want something a little informal?" he asked.

"Oh? Like what?"

-Line Break-

"Pwha, woo, nothing beats kaarage and beer." A wide smiling Minari turned to Hachiman.

"I thought you might enjoy it, my imouto and I frequent this place at times after work." Hachiman, now a bit loose, spoke without thinking.

"Eeh? You work with your imouto? How does that go?" a curious Minari pressed.

"Its nice, a friendly face and all, it's quite nice actually, what about you? Do you have any siblings?"

"Ah, I have a sister, but we sort of grew apart… must be nice still being close."

"Ah.. I suppose it is." As they ate, Hachiman thought of Minari's words.

The two continued to dig in until they had their fill. Minari, after finishing, attempted to pay for herself.

"Ah, no worries, my treat, besides you covered the concert." Hachiman spoke.

"O-Oh, really? I appreciate it."

"No worries."

-Line Break-

"Thank you for escorting me back home, it's still light out but I appreciate it nonetheless."

As she turned from inside her apartment entrance, she smiled at Hachiman.

"The pleasure was mine, thank you for the invitation for the day."

"And you for what is now my favorite joint to eat at." Both gave a chuckle.

"I hope we can do things again sometime." Minari smiled.

"That would be nice." Continued Hachiman.

"Glad to hear it, uh.. well, would you like to come inside for a bit for tea before you're off?"

"Ah well I should be heading back, it's a bit aways from my apartment." Hachiman explained.

"Ah.. I see, well.. I'll see you around.. Probably at the conbini." They both smile.

"Sure thing, I definitely would like that. I hope you have a great evening"

"I hope the same for you, have a great evening." and with that Hachiman departs back to his apartment.

-Line Break-

Komachi, despite saying she was going to the mall, ended up not feel like going, and ended up loitering in her apartment for most of the day. Lying on the bed next to Shiro.

"Do you think they hit it off?" she turned to a curled up Shiro.

"Nnya."

"So.. what is a yes or no?"

Shiro lifted her head and looked at Komachi.

"Nnya." With a tilted head, Shiro looked for a moment, then turned back to a curled position.

"I am talking to a cat.." with a full realization, Komachi turned to look back at the ceiling.

"I guess Ill find out Monday." As she was about to ready for bed, the image of a reddened Hachiman passed through her mind.

With a smirk, she retired for the evening, with Shiro outside her covers, resting in her usual spot.

-Line Break-

"Eh!? She invited you inside and you declined?" Takayama, Hachiman, Komachi, and Mr. Honji were sitting in the staff lunch area when details of Hachiman's unofficial date.

"Y-Yeah.. I wanted to get home before dark…" Takayama with a look of disbelief set his head down on the table with an audible thud.

"How is it that you without trying get asked, when women look at me as a bug." Complained about a muffled Takayama.

Hachiman quickly looked at Mr. Honji then Komachi for an explanation.

"What.. was there something to going inside?"

"Uwah..…"

"Mr. Hikigaya…."

A mixture of disbelief and disappointment was placed on both Mr. Honji and Komachi's face.

"What.. What? Was there?"

With a facepalm, astonishment and disappointment still was seen on the faces of the involved parties. After a few words, their time at lunch was up and time to head back to work.

"Ah, excuse me." Komachi was the first to get up, she could still hear the distance complaints of Mr. Takayama.

As she exited the lunchroom, she now felt a bit of a spring in her step. Her lighthearted demeanor was not unnoticed by the students she passed.

As she reached her faculty desk, she continued to work, a slight smile plastered on her face. I shouldn't be this chipper at my Onii–Chan's denseness but… As she peered over across her desk and Hachiman's she could see Mr. Takayama with head in shame as Hachiman was again lecturing him on his work ethic.

At least I will be able to spend a bit more time with him before he's tied up with someone

"Ah, Ms. Hikigaya-sensei, here are the student class forms for the senior field trip." Komachi turned to see her class president, Musashi with a stack full of papers.

"Ah, thank you Musashi."

"Sensei.. You look more happy than usual, did something good happen?" The curious class president inquired.

"I suppose something good did happen, to me at any rate." Her smile grew as she answered her student's question somewhat ambiguously.

-End of Chapter-

Boku to Star no 99 Nichi?(1): Its a 2011 Romantic Comedy that is meh.

Phew it's done, I wanted to make something for 3 months now but I just did not take the time to actually make a chapter. With my expanded weekend I figured I could do at least one chapter. I have W.I.P for the other fics, but they are a slog and not sure how well they fit. At any rate, hopefully the next chapter will happen a bit sooner. I also am working on a cringe Isekai, so look out for that too!
