When Gou made it home she slammed the door behind her and let the frustrated tears fall out.
"What an idiot!" she thought of herself and Makoto. She couldn't understand him yet it seemed she was wrapped tightly around his finger. 'I don't like it.' she thought. After crying for a few minutes she rubbed her nose and eyes to wipe away any liquid. Her mother would be home soon and she had to look as if everything was fine. While walking through the hallway to her room, she noticed Rin's door was open. 'Mom must have left his room open to air it out.' she thought.
With light steps she entered his room and picked up one of his nicely folded shirts off the bed. She noticed it didn't have his scent when she hugged it close to her.
"You must think about Rin touching you sometimes, right?" Makoto's words echoed through her mind. True to what she said, Gou never had but what if she did. What if she imagined Rin's big hands tickling her most sensitive areas or him placing a kiss on her chest, or maybe even-
Gou shook her head to get rid of the dirty thoughts and left his shirt on his bed. After changing into pajamas she made herself a snack out of apples and peanut butter. The front door was unlocked and opened.
"Mom," Gou called, "I thought you'd be home earlier." she looked up from her snack to see Rin holding a bag and taking his hat off.
"Mom won't be home for awhile, she's got some stuff to take care of." Rin sighed, "Anyways, hi- oh!" the air was knocked out of Rin when Gou slammed into him with all her might.
"Onii-chan!" she exclaimed, taking in his scent. Rin wrapped his arms around her in return.
"I'm home." he replied. Looking down at the top of her head. When she smiled back up at him he could see down her shirt. He looked away with a flushed face.
"Eh? Onii-chan what's wrong?"
"Nothing." he said and let go of her to sit on a kitchen chair.
"I have a whole list of things for us to do!" she exclaimed when Rin was seated, "First we can watch some scary movies, then we'll do each other's hair, then we'll go to sleep and- do you want to hang out with everyone from Iwatobi because we totally can-and then oh! Shopping of course, your clothes are getting a bit old." she waited patiently for his reply.
"That sounds fun Gou, but I just got home and I'm really tired."
"Ah, okay. Your clothes are in your room." she told him and pointed upstairs, "Would you like some help with your bag?" she asked.
"No that's okay, it's probably too heavy…" by then she had already grabbed his bag for him.
"Not that heavy." she said while lifting the bag up and down.
"Those guys must really work you to death." he said when they got to his room.
"Well of course, I'm the manager who has to carry lots of heavy stuff after all."
"Still." he replied, taking the bag from her. Gou smiled at her brother.
"I'm happy you're here." she told him.
Later that evening, Gou's head was seated between Rin's legs, "Ah, Onii-chan..." she exclaimed.
"Mmm, Gou don't move around too much." he told her,
"Sorry Onii-chan," she said, "It just hurts when you're rough…"
"Well maybe if you would stop moving around so much I could finish braiding your hair!" he exclaimed. Gou giggled.
"Hey, Rin, do you want to hang out with everyone tomorrow?" she asked.
"Mmm." Rin replied, "Sure, why not." he added. He tied a red bow around the end of her braid.
"Alright! I'll tell them." she said with a smile. Rin grinned at his younger sister but made sure she couldn't see.
Gou leaned her head back on her brother's lap, "Rin, can I sleep in here with you?" she asked. Her eyes were wide with anticipation.
Rin frowned, "We're not kids anymore, Gou." she pouted.
"I know but I hardly see you any more." She turned her body around to face him, "Just this one night, I'll sleep on the floor, even!"
Rin sighed, "I'm not gonna make you sleep on the floor." he told her and pulled her braid over her head. "You can sleep in here."
Gou smiled and pulled her brothers hands down so they could cup her cheeks, "Thank you Onii-chan!" she exclaimed. Rin sighed and got up to go to the restroom, when he came back he spotted Gou snuggling with his comforter in the corner of his bed.
"Oi, save some blanket for me." he said before crawling into bed with her. Gou giggled and released some of the blanket. She yawned and laid her head in the crook of his elbow. Gou's soft red orbs met her brother's. Rin was certain Gou was the prettiest girl he had ever known, though he could never tell her that. Rin looked away and Gou breathed.
"Onii-chan you make all my stress go away." she said and then fell asleep.
Rin sighed, 'So naive', he thought, and then fell asleep himself.
The siblings slept through the whole night together holding each other.
Rin was woken up by his mother the next morning and Gou's spot was empty. He sat up and was promptly knocked on the head by his mother.
"Rin, what are you planning?" she whispered, "Sleeping with Gou when I'm not here?"
He yawned, "We didn't do anything." he tried to explain. His mother cut him off.
"You expect me to believe that? Rin I was in your dorm the other day and I found a- a…" she glared at him, as if the word was too dirty to mention.
"Huh? No that was Ai's!" he exclaimed.
"Hm, what was?" Gou asked as she entered her brother's room, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Rin wondered if she had gotten an earful from Mom as well.
"Nothing!" they both shouted at her. She held up her hands defensively and walked away. Their mother sighed," Anyway," she breathed, "I know you and Gou love each other and miss each other very much, but please don't sleep with her anymore." Rin scratched the back of his head while looking down.
"Okay." he said after awhile. His mother kissed the top of his head and left his room. Gou swallowed, 'I've caused trouble for Onii-san,' she thought sadly.
"Rin!" she exclaimed and stood in his doorway,"Don't forget we're hanging with everyone from Iwatobi today!"
Rin nodded, "Yeah." he said.
Gou undid her braid in the bathroom and her hair fell in waves down her back, 'It's so cute!' she thought and scrunched up her hair a bit. She decided to wear a yellow pastel shirt with her pink pastel shorts and white sneakers. Rin wore a black muscle shirt and his plaid skinny jeans.
"Ah, Onii-san your biceps look spectacular today!" she exclaimed. Rin glared at her and flicked her hair.
"Your hair looks really cute down." he told her. She blushed and turned away from him.
"Well, of course you did my hair." she said while covering her face, "Let's just go!" Rin opened the door and Gou held onto his right arm as they walked through the hot streets. It wasn't long before they met up with the Iwatobi swim club in a small park.
"Oi, Haru!" Rin exclaimed, Gou released his arm so her brother could greet his best friend. Nagisa and Rei also greeted Rin whom he ignored.
"Ne, Rin-chan! Don't ignore us!" Nagisa exclaimed,
"Eh? I'm not ignoring you." Nagisa pouted
"You only want to hang out with Haru-chan!"
Gou watched with interest as her brother interacted with her teammates.
"Good morning, Gou-chan." a familiar voice said. Gou froze and a shiver ran down her spine. She tried to find words but her tongue was dried up. Makoto smiled down at her.
"G-Good morning, Makoto-sen-senpai." she finally managed. He stood by her and leaned over her.
"So, did anything happen between you and Rin last night?" he asked. Gou thought back to when Rin was being scolded for sleeping with her.
"N-No nothing at all." she said and walked towards Nagisa.
"What should we do first?" Rei asked.
"Swim-" Haru began but was cut off by everyone's dirty looks, "Fishing?"
"Can't we do something that doesn't involve water, Haruka-senpai?" Rei wondered.
"Hydrophobe." Haru coughed. Everyone giggled.
"We could go to an aquarium." Gou suggested.
"Mmm! That sounds fun!" Nagisa exclaimed.
Haru nodded, "Okay." he said.
"So the aquarium it is." Makoto said and the group made their way to the local aquarium. It was small and mostly run over with kids, yet the group of teens managed to have fun.
"Woah! Haru-chan look, a clownfish!" Nagisa exclaimed, "Woah look at the ugly one, kinda looks like you, Rei!" he teased.
"Oi, Nagisa!" Rei exclaimed.
"Ah, Rin it's you." Haru said nonchalantly while pointing at a small shark. Rin blushed.
"Haru." he said. Gou laughed at her brother's embarrassed expression. The boys kept teasing each other while Gou silently watched.
"Ah," she said quietly while looking at a tank across the room. Makoto noticed her eyes go wide with fascination. She made her way from the group and stood before the large tank, "jellyfish." she breathed. Makoto followed her and stood next to her.
"You like jellyfish?" he asked her. Gou jumped out of her trance and looked up at Makoto, wondering if any perverse thoughts were running through his head.
"Yes," she said and turned back to the tank. The pastel pink and purple creatures floated around lazily in their home. Their lacy tentacles floated after them, "I was stung by one when I was little." she said and placed her palms against the tank, "It hurt so much, I thought for sure I was going to die." Makoto eyed her, "I remember it was on the beach next to me, and I thought for something that could hurt so much, it's really pretty." Gou looked down, "Sorry, you probably think that's weird." she fidgeted with her fingers.
He shook his head, "No, I feel the same way about the ocean." he gained her attention again and the two were caught in one another's trance. Makoto smiled, "These tanks are giving me a headache." he said, "I'll be outside if anyone needs me."
"Makoto-senpai." Gou said quietly and clasped her hands to her chest.
When Makoto was outside he sat on a nearby bench and held his head in his hands, 'This is a problem.' he thought.
