Tsubaki and I had spent the rest of the day in bed. He wasn't lying when he said he wanted a picture of me. He took some of me barely covered in my sheet while laying on my side. Then he pulled some cherry blossom petals out of his bag and scattered them on my bed. He had my hair sprawled out on my bed and gave me one of my soft pink lipsticks to put on. When we scrolled through the pictures I was mystified by how I looked. Is this how all my brothers saw me? I looked like a model for a perfume ad. Maybe she's born with it maybe its cherry blossoms! I giggled to myself and Tsubaki just rolled his eyes. He must've known where my thoughts were going. "Hey.. You should probably get going Tsubaki.. I need to pack for this weekend and you probably should too." I was trying to give myself some space to process what had just happened. He kissed my neck and nuzzled his nose against it. "I really don't want to leave.. But if I must.." his voice was cut off by a call from Azusa. The song DNA by BTS was his custom tone. Tsubaki's eyebrow went up as he saw me trying to grab my phone to silence the ring. "Oh.. Wonder what mine is Imouto.." he grabbed my phone and picked it up before pulling me into a torturous kiss. It was like he wanted his brother to see how easily he could make me feel undone. "Ema.. Hello?" Azusa's voice sounded so worried on the other end I was trying to pull apart from Tsubaki but he pinned my hands above my head and pushed his tongue into my mouth making sure to give my lip a quick nip on his way in. "Ema.. Are you okay?" Azusa's voice got more and more panicked and I knee'd Tsubaki to get him off of me. I answered the phone barely able to breathe "Sorry.. Juli must've answered I ran over as soon as I heard your voice." I panted into the phone and Azusa let out a sigh of relief. "Okay.. I was worried that something may have happened.. Do you need me to pick you up this weekend? I have to drive by your place anyways it's no problem..'' His voice was its usual calm self but it sounded like he was trying to mask something. Tsubaki went to my neck and licked up to my ear where he started to lick and suck on my ear lobe. "Uh.. Yes that sounds nice. I have a few things I want to bring home anyways." That's when Tsubaki bit my ear in obvious disapproval. "Ow!" I groaned. Azusa's voice went back to its worried self "Are you sure you're okay.. You sound off today.." I glared at Tsubaki as he smiled at himself knowing he was taunting not just me but his brother as well. "Yeah I'm sure.. I just stepped on one of my earrings. It must have fallen off the nightstand." I tried to reassure him and he let it go. "Alright then.. I'll see you this weekend." He hung up and I punched Tsubaki in the shoulder. "What is wrong with you? Azusa couldn't see that you were here.. Why did you do that?" I glared at him and he just shrugged. "I've always wanted to tease someone while they were on the phone.. You just happened to be the lucky person who got that first for me." He gave me a quick eskimo kiss and got off the bed putting his clothes back on. "I'll see you soon, little one.." Before he left he kissed my forehead and stroked my cheek leaving a trail of heat on my skin.
I went to the bathroom and checked my body in the mirror. "Oh god.. He definitely claimed me this time.." He had made the hickey on my neck bigger which I didn't think was possible. Then he added to his hickeys on my chest and made a few of his own on my thighs.. While also making the one Azusa left bigger.. Essentially making that his own mark. Juli hopped onto the counter in my bathroom and just tsked at me. "I know I know.. You were awfully quiet I would have thought you'd come rushing in to stop Tsubaki.." I turned on my shower as Juli stared at me. "I thought about it Chi.. But I can't always be there for you. I wanted you to decide this time. You were a child last time so it was my duty to protect you." I stepped into the shower and slowly massaged my body with my body wash trying to ease the pain that came with my new marks. He was gentle but also ruthless.. It was better than I ever imagined it would be.. To be honest I expected something completely different from him but he let me decide. As I started to scrub my hair all I could think about was Yusuke.. I should call him.. Would he even answer me? If I was him I don't think I would.. I should've gone after him. But I was worried I'd just make things worse. I sighed to myself as I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself. I have a few more days of school then its family weekend at the loft. I was about to be surrounded by my brothers.. Who all knew I had feelings for them for 2 days. We did this every month but this month was different.. I was more nervous about it than when I first moved into the loft. I slipped my pjs on and plopped onto my bed. "What am I going to do Juli.." Juli was laying on my chest and just stroked his fur softly. "Chi.. You don't have to do anything. If they love you like I do they won't make you do anything. If you want to go back to being siblings I'm sure they'll allow that.. But don't expect that you'll ever get a chance like this again." Juli's words stung but he was right. I couldn't keep toying with them. I either had to decide to pick a brother or go back to being their little sister without another word. I doubt I could go back.. But I also can't have them all so it's time to see who I really can't live without. With that thought I drifted off to sleep hugging Juli to my chest as I knew my world would never be the same when this weekend rolled around.
The next few days at work were torture.. Yusuke avoided me like I had caught the plague. I tried to talk to him.. I even texted and called him after work but nothing got through. I knew he had seen my texts but he had never responded. I knew I had messed up but he had never been this mad at me before. I deserved it but how was I supposed to truly apologize if he wouldn't give me the time of day. I sighed to myself as I finished packing for this weekend at the loft. Once again our parents wouldn't be there.. I'm glad they are happy with each other but I haven't seen them in months. With my mind focused on Yusuke I nearly forgot that Azusa was picking me up. I'm so thankful that my marks had healed well this time.. There would be no trace of what Tsubaki and I had done that day. "Juli, don't forget to put some toys in your carrier. We will be there for 2 days. I don't want you to get bored." I giggled to myself and Juli shook his head. "With your brothers I'm never bored.. If any of them try anything this weekend I'll fight them off for you if you want." He fluffled up his tail as he spoke making himself look like a mad cat. "You are too good to me Juli." I gave him some chin scratches as I heard the doorbell. "Come in Azusa, it's not locked." I chimed. He came in and undid his shoes before walking in. "You look cute today.." his voice charming as always as his eyes drank me in. I was wearing a black lace high low dress with an ornate metallic purple belt. "Thank you oniisan." I smiled and his eyes snapped up to mine. "I uhm.. I saw the pictures Tsubaki took.." his voice seemed unsure if he should bring it up and part of me wished he hadn't. "Oh? What pictures?" I was hoping my feigning ignorance would mean he saw the ones of me sleeping. But luck wasn't on my side. "You wrapped in nothing but a sheet.. Your hair laced with cherry blossom petals.." He was right in front of me and had laced his fingers in my hair. His touch was always so soothing to me. He felt like velvet made in human form. "Oh…" was all I could think to say. "I want to kiss you so badly.." his head went to my neck and I could feel his breath on my neck. "But if you are with Tsubaki.. I won't.." his voice was trembling and I could feel his hand tighten in my hair. "Azusa.. I'm not with anyone.." I said as his eyes came back up to meet mine. I wanted him to kiss me but before we got any further Tsubaki poked his head out from the front door. "Jeez does every brother have to make a move on her in front of me?" Tsubaki teased from the door leaning against the frame. "We'll be late if I let you two continue.. So hurry up." he wasn't about to budge from his spot. It felt like it was payback for every time Azusa stopped Tsubaki.
Azusa's eyes went to glare at his brother and he let go of me. "Yes you are right brother.." his voice was doused in anger and annoyance. Tsubaki was obviously revealing in it. Tsubaki walked in grabbing Juli's case as Juli tried to attack him through the canvas opening. "Oi, Juli I love your owner but this behavior is getting old. We've known each other for years." his voice was playful as he continued scolding Juli as he left the apartment. Azusa pulled me into a quick kiss right as Tsubaki left. It was sweet and innocent just as I imagined it would be in high school. I giggled as he grabbed my case. "You have a naughty side to you too don't you Azusa?" I teased him as he went to my front door. "You have no idea Imouto.." he looked over his shoulder as he said that and it sent chills up my spine. What have I gotten myself into? I slipped on a pair of purple mary janes to match my belt. Tsubaki was holding the door open for me and Juli was still going insane in his carrier. "Juli it's okay.." I soothed as I slipped in next to him. Tsubaki got in the back seat with me and Azusa got in the front seat to drive. "Guess we have a chauffeur today Imouto.." Tsubaki purred into my ear. "Oh before I forget.." I heard my phone go off and it was Tsubaki's tone TxT Cat & Dog starts playing. "Oh really Imouto.. I'll be your pet." he smirked as he kissed my cheek making Azusa growl from the front seat. "Stop teasing her Tsubaki.." Azusa's tone made it obvious that he was done playing. "Fine fine.. Don't want to make your back seat all messy." Tsubaki put his hand on my thigh and slowly pushed it further up the skirt of my dress. He looked out the window as if oblivious to what his hand was doing. I put my hand over his and he stopped his rise up my thigh. He started drawing swirls on my inner thigh which felt like he was leaving behind a ring of fire. I wanted him to go further but my heart was racing with the idea of Azusa seeing us. I was reminded of our bar night together and part of me wanted to see what else they would do to me together.. I met Azusa's eyes as he looked at me with the rearview mirror. I licked my lips just enough to make him blush and look away. He always acted innocent.. Even that night he acted like I was the first woman he had touched. Now that I think about it.. He never had showmances like Tsubaki.. Maybe he didn't flaunt them? I looked over at Tsubaki who was still acting like the world outside the window was the most fascinating thing in the world even as his hand continued to tease my thigh.
We quickly made it to the lofts and Tsubaki finished his onslaught of my thigh with a quick push to my panties. He stroked it hard and rubbed my clit just enough to elicit a moan as Azusa got out of the car. I saw Azusa whisper something to him but all he did was shrug in response. I wonder what they were talking about.. "Juli wake up.." I pulled him out of the carrier and put him on my shoulder. Juli just sat on my shoulder holding onto my dress to help his balance. "We have a family meeting.. Well sibling meeting.." Azusa stuttered trying to hide the fact that he was nervous but failing miserably. He was so cute like this. I put my hand in his hair and kissed his cheek. "I'm sure all will be well oniisan." I smiled trying to ease his nerves but touching him may have done the opposite. He was now blushing even more than he did in the car. He quickly grabbed my bags. I walked in the house right before he did and went over to the balcony that overlooked the living room. All my brothers were talking amongst themselves not noticing I had arrived yet. I loved just watching them.. Then Fuuto looked up and saw me. "Oneesan.. Come down." his voice made the rest of the brothers look up at me. I felt like I was the bell of the ball about to be escorted downstairs by her prince.. Azusa came up behind me and grabbed my hand. Oh god it's happening. Can they all read my mind what the hell? He smiled and dragged me down the stairs and plopped me in the middle of the couch next to Kaname and Masaomi. "He-Hey everyone.." my voice didn't even feel like my own. Granted I felt like I was having an out of body experience. My heart was thumping in my chest so fast that I thought I was going to pass out. No.. We can't have a repeat of when I first met them that would just be embarrassing. Ukyo's voice brought me out of my haze "So.. We brothers have been thinking about what you said last week.. We all. Well not all of us most of us would like a shot at making you ours." Did he just say that? I'm not passed out already right? I looked over at Hikaru and he nodded at me. "So we have come up with a plan.. Each of us will take you out on a date. After we've all taken you out you will decide who you want to be with.." Ukyo looked over at Tsubaki and then back at me. "There will be rules.. Such as no brother can intrude on another's date.. And these dates will always be on a friday. We'll also go from oldest to youngest." He cleared his throat as the younger siblings groaned. "Uh.. That's well thought out.." is all I could bring myself to say. I glanced over at Yusuke as soon as our eyes met he looked away from me. It still hurt that he wouldn't acknowledge me. "Anyone object?" Ukyo's voice rang out in the room and the brothers shook their heads. "Tsubaki shouldn't get a date." Yusuke's voice surprised us all as I continued to stare at him. Tsubaki just smirked and leaned back in his chair. "Still mad little brother? I didn't mean to ruin your moment with Ema.. It didn't look like you were going to make a move anyways." Ukyo looked over at the brothers and then back at me. "What the hell are you two talking about?" I cleared my throat and stood up. "Uh.. Yusuke and I went to dinner after our shifts one day and we talked about what I did last week.. I got upset and he was comforting me when Tsubaki showed up to show me pictures of the cherry blossoms.." I looked over at Yusuke and his eyes were focused on Tsubaki. Yusuke stood up and said "I was about to kiss Ema when he interrupted.. From what I understand he went to her apartment. I imagine he took advantage of that privacy. So he doesn't need a date he already had one." his voice was seething and I looked at Tsubaki hoping he'd somehow save this conversation. Tsubaki just chuckled before saying "I showed her my pictures alright.. We also took some more but that has nothing to do with you or this new agreement. If you had gotten your way do you think you would forfeit your date because you got the first taste?" I couldn't believe Tsubaki had boiled down our night together like that.. "Fuck you Tsubaki.." I yelled as I went to my loft. I didn't want to be around anyone anymore. Whoever knocked on my door was going to end up feeling my wrath.
I slammed the door to my room and I could feel my body shaking with anger. I could feel the tears running down my cheeks and I hated myself for crying when I got this angry. I wanted to tear this whole building down and stomp on the rubble until there was nothing left. Family meeting my ass. Family doesn't talk to each other that way. Have they ever seen me as their sister? I guess I never really saw them as my brothers.. How can I blame them for feeling the same way? I heard a soft knock on my door and I knew it could only be two people.. Wataru or Azusa.. I could handle Wataru but Azusa definitely not. "Go away! I don't want to see anyone right now!" I yelled hoping they'd get the hint but the knocking continued. I opened the door to find Wataru and Hikaru standing there. I let them into my room as Juli sat outside the door acting like a guard dog. "Tsubaki is an asshole.." Hikaru said as soon as he got in my room recieving a chuckle from Wataru. "If it makes you feel better most of the brothers are throttling him right now.." Wataru said with an amused smile. "It really does thank you." I sat on my bed and they sat on the floor in front of me. "You don't have to follow their asinine plan.. It sounds like a damn dating game show." Hikaru said as he scrolled through his phone. "I know.. But honestly do you have a better idea that gives them all their fair shot?" I looked over hoping he did but all he did was shrug. "Oneesan, do you really want to become one of their wives?" Wataru said with an innocence in his voice that reminded me of the little boy I once knew. I knew this would end with me dating one of them.. But he is right they see this as an engagement not just a dating experience. "Yes." I said as I wiped the remnants of tears off my face. Hikaru looked up from his phone somewhat surprised. "So are you going to go back and accept their proposal or let them continue to beat the crap out of Tsubaki?" Hikaru's voice was full of amusement. I sighed and stood up "I should probably go back.. Even if I want them to continue to beat the crap out of Tsubaki." I chuckled and went to open my door. Only to find Tsubaki on the ground saying sorry over and over as the rest of the brothers surround him. "This is priceless.." Hikaru whispered as Juli started to pull on Tsubaki's hair. Tsubaki looked up at me and I could see his sheepish smile. "You are an asshole Tsubaki.. But I'll accept this Friday date night plan.. I look forward to whatever you have planned Masaomi. I'll let Tsubaki keep his.. But if he does another thing to piss me off he forfeits it. Agreed?" I saw all the brothers smile knowing full well Tsubaki and I get on each other nerves quite easily. Tsubaki frowned but agreed to it and got back up. "I'll see you guys for dinner.." I pulled Juli out of Tsubaki's hair and sat back down with Hikaru and Wataru. "Guuuurl, you are insane but I can't wait to see this soap opera unfold. We should pitch it as a reality show. "Girl dates all of Japan's most eligible bachelors.. Then picks who she wants to marry." Though I think every woman in Japan would then hate you." Hikaru was practically rolling on the floor laughing as Wataru came up to hug me. "I'm sorry.. I can remember when I was even vying for you to see me as a man. You must be so overwhelmed. I can't imagine how this must feel for you. I have school work to do but I'm glad you are okay now.. Hikaru leave her be with her thoughts your teasing isn't what she needs right now." Wataru had become so mature he really took after Masaomi now not surprising considering he used to follow him like a puppy. He dragged Hikaru behind him as Hikaru was slinging more taunts at me.
My world had been flipped upside down. My first date would be with Masaomi.. He had never really crossed the line with me. Out of all the brothers he always made sure to be very cautious with me. But maybe that was because I was underage? I'm honestly surprised that he wants to go on a date with me. I wonder where he'll take me. As I think that a text comes through on my phone from Masaomi.
Text Messages
M: Luckily I'm off this friday.. Usually I have the night shift when the weekend rolls around. I was thinking about dinner and theater?
Ema: Yeah that is lucky! Ukyo may have had to trade with you. Lol I'm sure whatever you have planned will be fine.. Do I need a formal outfit?
M: The thought of that gives me chills.. Ukyo always acts like the eldest anyways. Yes you'll need a formal outfit. See you at dinner. ;)
Masaomi is always so formal in texts it's kinda cute to see him use an emoji. I wonder what kind of theater he is taking me to.. I can't see him at an opera but maybe I'm wrong. I'm excited to see a different side of each of my brothers. Maybe it'll make it easier to choose.
Author Notes
I was trying to wrack my brain how each guy would get a fair shot.. And I decided to go with the trope of dates. I mean it's a harem anime fanfic.. Lol Tropes are fine? Z_z Idk maybe it's not but I really couldn't think of a way for the older brothers to just appear in her life without it feeling ultra staged. So not every chapter will contain sex as I do want to flesh out her thoughts about each character and what she is going through.
Also hope the whole Text Message part makes sense. I've seen that done a few different ways and this one always made it easier for me to understand. Hopefully it's the same way for you all.
As always thank you for reading! 3
