Sunday a six-letter word that means no class which means there's nothing to do…there's nothing on TV. Maybe I should call Athrun but I'm sure he's out with Cagalli again. Can't he spend a day without seeing Cagalli? Ever since he went out with Cagalli I just had one less person to hang out with. Which gives me zero persons to hang out with since all my buddies have girlfriends. I'm the only one in our group who doesn't have a girlfriend making me a target for jokes. Sometimes they like to annoy me by going to a theater and watching the romantic movies. Not only that…every time we get to the middle of the movie they start snuggling and making out! With me in the middle!
I'm not sure but I think the braver guys, being in such a dark place and watching a romantic scene play in front of their eyes, touch their girlfriends in…certain places. This whole week the guys have been talking about nothing but their girlfriends! Since I don't have one…yet…I felt left out. But my week wasn't that bad since…I just talked to Lacus for a whole 5 minutes. I've just broken my previous record of 3 minutes and on top of that she just gave me HER PHONE NUMBER! Boo yeah! Wait I have her phone number…forget calling Athrun! I'm going to call Lacus! But before that better see my handy-dandy notebook of pickup lines! Of course this just gives the guys another reason to laugh at me but…let's face it I'm a total NOOB when it comes to girls.
What seems like a good line to say…hmm… I feel pathetic. I mean what kind of guy uses a notebook to find out what to say to a girl? I threw away my notebook but I quickly caught it mentally slapping my self for even thinking of being able to talk to a girl without THE notebook. I sighed…maybe just one pickup line before dialing Lacus' phone number. Lacus' phone number…it's a miracle she even gave me this...I didn't even have to ask her for it! My teacher just paired me up with her for a school project; she talked to me about it and presto! She gave me her phone number! Thank you Ms. Ramius! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Now I have to stop wasting time and call Lacus maybe I'll get lucky and she'll agree to go out on a date with me…
As I dialed her number I searched my notebook for good pickup lines. I found good one but…it requires EXTREME guts for me to pull off and I don't think…No Kira. For once in your life, be a man! You don't want Athrun and the guys to tease you about being a 19 year-old virgin, do you? No! As soon as Lacus picks up I'm going to tell her that pickup line like the man I am!
"Hi!" It's Lacus' sweet voice! Now's my chance!
"Hi Lacus this is the hot and sexy Kira calling you." Oh yes! For once I didn't stammer! I totally rock! "I've got one question that's been bugging my mind lately." Okay…don't mess up…here comes the finale. "Is you is or is you ain't my baby?" All of the confidence I had suddenly came crashing down when I found out this wasn't Lacus I was talking to. It was her answering machine! Oh god! What am I going to do!? If Lacus finds out I said that…Why did I ever say that line in the first place!? Desperate times call for desperate measures…I'm going to ask my dad for help! For some odd reason he didn't go to work. He just stayed home today…
"Dad!" I shouted as I went down stairs. "Dad I need your help on something!" It isn't everyday that I ask my dad for advice on problems like these but like I said desperate times call for desperate measures…I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard an oddly familiar voice. It feels like I know that voice but I just can't seem to put my finger on it. My curiosity got the better of me so I turned around revealing…
"M-murrue-sensei!" What is my teacher doing here!? I must be dreaming…If she's here then that must mean…As I thought about the possible reason she's here my dad finally came. I turned around and tried to explain myself. "Dad whatever the reason Murrue-sensei is here, I swear I didn't do anything bad at school!" He laughed and so did Murrue-sensei apparently there's something going on that I don't know…
"Hold on there Kira…Murrue isn't here because of you doing anything at school in fact she says you're doing okay there." I looked at my dad curiosly. If that isn't the reason why Murrue-sensei is here then what is? As if knowing what was on my mind, my dad answered my unspoken question. "Since you already know each other it saves me the time of introducing both of you to each other." He smirked. "Kira you remember when I said that you're going to have a new mom and sister this Sunday?" I nodded my head even though I forgot about it because of…well, you know…Lacus giving me her phone number and all. But what does that have to do with…no…she can't be…
"Murrue-sensei y-you're my…" I couldn't finish what I'm going to say! This is just too much to take it all in. My dad finished what I was about to say.
"Yup! From now on she's your step mother!" My dad said with a big cheery smile.
"Murrue-sensei-" I was cut off.
"Kira since Mu and I are going to marry you're going to be my son, so don't call me that around home." My… mom told me. I nodded and she smiled looking at dad. "You know Kira has brown hair and you have blonde hair." She said chuckling a bit. Dad nodded even though he didn't know what mom was getting at. "And I have brown hair and Stellar has blonde hair. It's funny don't you think?" My dad just nodded.
It feels weird having your teacher to be your mom…just wait until I tell this to Athrun! I hope she doesn't make me do homework or make me study all day. I looked at the clock and it was already time for lunch and I haven't even started cooking yet!
"Ah! Look at the time! I'll go make lunch!"
"Kira you don't have to! Stellar is already making lunch." Mom said to me but it was already too late as I went into the kitchen. A girl suddenly came out of the door and I accidentally bumped into her. We fell on our butts. I got up first so I helped her to get up. When I got a full view of my stepsister I don't know what got into me. My sister is so beautiful. I found myself gazing at her eyes before she spoke.
"Oniichan lunch is ready." Oh my god! Even her shy voice is omega cute!
"Uh…t-thanks…I-I'll go take m-my seat." What the!? I can't even talk straight in front of my sister!? I really am pathetic. But what is this feeling every time I look at her? I never had a sister before, so is this what it's supposed to feel like when you have one? If it is how come it's very similar to the way I feel about Lacus? She's sitting right next to me so it's very hard not to look at her but every time I do…something…possessive is stirring up in my stomach. I feel my body getting hot and I'm sure I'm sweating a little. Maybe it's just the feeling of the need to protect her because she's now my sister.
After lunch I found myself watching TV with Stellar but my eyes were barely looking at the TV. I just couldn't take my eyes of her. I stared at her fragile figure sitting right next to me. She had her knees to her chest with a red pillow in between. Her eyes were glued to the screen that was showing Tom and Jerry but occasionally she would glance at me and catch me staring at her. I blush madly whenever she catches me but I feel…pleased whenever she does the same. I want to know more about Stellar maybe then I'll find out why I feel this way about her. Somehow I don't think a brother would feel this way about his sister.
"Stellar?"
"Yes oniichan?
"I well…I-I wanted to know why you and Muru- I mean oka-san have different last names." Stellar's expression became sad before answering me.
"It's because oka-san is also my stepmom my oto-san died in an accident a few years after he married her."
"It's okay oka-san comforts me and is kind to me so I don't feel as sad anymore." I don't know what came over me but whatever it is I'm grateful for it.
"Stellar…if you ever feel lonely or sad…I want you to know that I'm also here to comfort you so don't hesitate to come to me and just let me sweep all your problems away."
"Onnichan…I-I don't know what to say." She said with tears threatening to fall down her beautiful magenta eyes.
"You don't have to say anything. Just know that even though we just met today what I said is true. I'll always be here for you." I pulled her into a deep hug and I felt my shirt become wet because of the tears that were falling from her eyes. I felt disappointed when we pulled away from the hug. She wiped away her tears, I wanted to wipe it for her but I didn't. She returned to watching cartoons but this time she did so with a smile on her face.
"Oniichan I like it that your house is near the beach." She said when the commercial came on.
"Do you like the sea?" I asked her and she shyly nodded her head. I smiled since I found it rather cute.
"Yes but I…" she started then she paused, it looked like she's embarrassed about something I just looked at her letting her decide whether she wanted to continue or not. "I don't know how to swim." She finished rather quickly.
I chuckled at her little confession "That's alright. I can teach you how to swim if you like." Her face brightened up.
"Hontou ni?" she asked expectantly.
"Yeah. Just tell me when you would like me to do it." I told her then I blushed when I accidentally imagined her in a bikini.
"Arigatou, oniichan." I smiled and went back to watching the TV since the commercial was over.
Stellar yawned when Tom and Jerry was over, I asked her if she was sleepy, she shook her head and proceeded to watch TV. Danny Phantom was next it was one of my favorite cartoons but I didn't get to watch any of it since I was staring at Stellar again.
"Stellar?" I was about to ask her something but I saw her yawn before facing me. "Oh you're tired…never mind then."
"It's alright oniichan."
I felt my heart beat faster if I could I'd rather not ask her this question but I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I don't. "Stellar do you have a…boyfriend?" I asked nervously.
"No, I don't." For a reason I don't know I felt really relieved.
"Oh…okay."
"Oniichan do you have a girlfriend?" She asked nervously.
I looked away in embarrassment "I…I don't have a girlfriend but there is this girl I like though." Why do I feel this way? She's so easy to talk to and I feel I can tell her everything about me.
"Hontou? Then I hope she feels the same way about you to oniichan." I felt my self in heaven. Who knew just her cheering me on will have this effect on me? She yawned again and a chuckle managed to escape my lips. I don't know if it's just her being tired or something but she said something that made my heart skip a beat. "Oniichan I'd do anything for you just don't hate me." With that she fell asleep. I watched her sleeping form intently somehow I found that more interesting than Danny Phantom. Her head gently fell on my shoulder to which I gladly let her use as a pillow. I soon felt tired even though it was still an hour pass lunch time. I followed Stellar's example and rested my head on hers. I smelled the fragrance of her hair before I felt sleep claim me.
A/N: Hope you don't mind the japanese I'm using those words to make this story cuter.
