1 year later
The room was illuminated as sunlight shone through. The blond haired boy slowly opened his eyes as he cursed the sun for being too bright. He turned to look at the boy next to him that was still sleeping soundly.
'I'll leave him to sleep a bit more today. Tetsuya-cchi looks so adorable when he sleeps.' Ryouta thought.
As if hearing the older boys thoughts the tealnette shifted and lifted his hand a bit to suck on his thumb.
The blond nearly exploded at the scene in front of him. 'Damn, that cuteness is a weapon.'
Ryouta stared at his brother for a few more seconds then proceeded to hop off the bed and walk to the bathroom.
30 minutes later
Tetsuya opened his eyes looking over at his side expecting his brother to be next to him. His brother always made it his mission to sneak into Tetsuya's room on Saturday's.
To his surprise Ryouta was not next to him. Before Tetsuya panicked, he came to the logical conclusion that his brother was either in the kitchen or the bathroom. And, as if on cue, Ryouta burst through the door.
"Ohayo-ssu, Testsuya-cchi!" He beamed.
Tetsuya covered his ears just in time. How could someone have so much energy in the morning. "Good morning, oniisama."
Tetsuya got off the bed and started to walk towards the bathroom. Ryouta was about to follow him but was stopped by Tetsuya. "Oniisama, can you please make breakfast?"
Ryouta sprinted down the stairs and into the kitchen.
In the bathroom
Tetsuya checked the temperature of the bath water and stepped in. As he settled into the water he thought about his brother now entering the basket ball club. 'It will be fun the have oniisama playing with me. The only bad thing is that oniisama will have to start at the 3rd string and make his way up.'
He played with the water a bit. 'It is okay though, oniisama will never leave me alone.' Tetsuya got out of the bath, dried himself off and put some clothes on. He stepped out of the bathroom and made his way to the kitchen.
In the kitchen
As Tetsuya finished walking down the stairs he spotted to other blonds in the kitchen. Hatsuko and Kioko were in the kitchen. Hatsuko was reading a newspaper while drinking tea and Kioko was playing a game on her phone while occasionally taking sips of her orange juice.
"Good morning, oneesama's." Tetsuya greeted. He looked around a bit. "Where is oniisama?"
Kioko was holding her chest near where her heart was. "Tet-chan, you scared me." Tetsuya pointedly ignored her. (Kioko pouted at this)
"Ryouta went to go speak with mother and father." Hatsuko pointed at the table. "He left you your breakfast though."
Tetsuya walked over to the table, sat down and began eating. He was just finishing his vanilla milkshake when Ryouta came down the stairs.
"What did they say?" Hatsuko asked.
Ryouta turned to her. "Mom and dad said we can go out but we have to be back by 4."
Hatsuko looked at the clock '9:45, we have a good amount of time.' She then glanced at Kioko and snatched her phone away.
Kioko glared at her. "Onee-chan!"
Hatsuko ignored the outburst. "Kioko get changed into your football training clothes."
Kioko wanted to protest but the look that Hatsuko was giving her, made her shut her mouth. "Hai, nee-chan."
Kioko walked up the stairs and into her room to get changed.
Hatsuko turned to Ryouta who was fussing over Tetsuya.
"Ryouta." She said.
"Hai?" Ryouta answered.
"You should get ready to leave soon, we are going to have basket ball practise." She replied.
A small voice piped up. "Oneesama, can I come too?"
Hatsuko looked at Tetsuya and smiled. "Of course Tetsuya."
The park
Hatsuko stood in front of Ryouta and Kioko with a sea green tracksuit on and Tetsuya stood by her with a yellow tracksuit on.
"Right now we are going to sharpen both your skills." Hatsuko announced.
Kioko was quick to protest. "But, I am the ace. I am already better than everyone else."
Tetsuya handed Hatsuko a fan and she proceeded to hit Kioko in the shoulder. "That's a foolish way of thinking. If you keep saying that, one day someone will just steal the title of ace."
Kioko rubbed her aching shoulder. "Hai, nee-chan."
Ryouta did not say anything as he wanted his limbs intact.
Hatsuko whispered something to Tetsuya and he nodded and got out some poles and put them in a random order.
"Kioko, I want you to dribble through these poles and once you complete that, do it with a blind fold." Hatsuko said.
Kioko widened her eyes a bit.
"Once you are done with that, I want you to do 30 laps around the park with these weights." Hatsuko pointed to Tetsuya who had some weights in his hand.
"Oh, I forgot to mention..." Hatsuko started.
"There's more!" Kioko said in alarm.
Hatsuko nodded. "If you do not complete this, not only will it be doubled tomorrow, but you will do two 2 hour maths tests."
At this point Kioko was on the ground looking defeated already.
Hatsuko gave her a sickly sweet smile. "Hurry up, you're wasting time."
With that Kioko put on the weights and started with the exercise.
"Ryouta." Hatsuko stated.
Ryouta flinched and looked at the older woman. "H-hai."
The woman smiled softly. "Don't worry, I will not kill you off like Kioko, this is just part of her punishment."
Ryouta looked relieved.
Hatsuko smirked. "My practice's are still not something to smile at though."
Ryouta paled.
She grabbed Tetsuya's hand. "Ryouta pick up the equipment bag and follow me."
They walked for about 2 minutes and arrived at a basketball court. Hatsuko told Tetsuya to sit on the bench and record everything that happened.
"Ryouta, I will show you some moves and you will try to copy them, okay?" Hatsuko asked.
Ryouta nodded.
She bounced the ball in one hand and ran up to the hoop. She jumped and leaned backwards midair and shot the ball. It went in with a swish.
"This is called a fade away." Hatsuko explained. "It is fun to do and hard for opponent's to block."
Ryouta looked at it in awe. "That's so cool! You're amazing nee-san!"
The collage student looked cocky. "Of course, I was playing sports before you were born." She looked at the small boy sitting on the bench. "Tetsuya, you are recording this right?"
The said boy nodded.
Hatsuko turned back to look at Ryouta. "Before you start practising the shoot, you have to run around the park five times and do ten push-ups and sit-ups." The woman pulled out something from her back. "Also wear these weights while doing so."
Ryouta had tears streaming down his face. "Nee-san, why...?"
Tetsuya looked at his brother reassuringly. "It is not that bad oniisama, you can check if Kioko-oneesama is slacking off."
Ryouta brightened up a bit. "Knowing Kiko-cchi, she probably is. Okay! Let's get this over with!" With that he dashed off to finish the laps.
Hatsuko looked at Tetsuya. "It is quite hot today." She whipped sweat from her forehead. "Want to go get a milkshake?"
Tetsuya stopped the recording and put the camera in his pocket. "Okay, oneesama."
Other End Of The Park
Kioko lay on her back panting after running 10 laps. "Like hell I was gonna run 30 laps." She grumbled. "It's not like nee-chan is going to know anyway, so I won't bother."
"I'll know, though and that's not a good thing since I could let this slip." A voice said.
Kioko sat up quickly. "Ryou-chan! Please don't!"
Ryouta smiled. "Kikocchi, I'm not that evil so I won't tell nee-san." He stretched a bit. "Just know that nee-san will find out reguardless of me telling her or not." He started to run his laps.
Kioko stared at Ryouta's back. 'That's probably true but...I don't care right now.' She thought laying back on the grass falling asleep.
At Maji Burger
A blond and tealnette walked out of the front doors of the shop, both sporting milkshakes in their hands. The older woman looked at the drink in Tetsuya's hands.
"Tetsuya I do not understand why you like vanilla so much." Hatsuko said.
Tetsuya looked at his oldest sister. "I also do not understand why you like banana so much."
Hatsuko let out one of her rare smiles. "Touché, let us check on Ryouta and Kioko."
Tetsuya nodded. "Hai."
The Park
Ryouta was finishing his last ten sit-ups while ignoring Kioko's snoozing form. He had tried to warn her, but as usual she did not take his advice. Ryouta heard to pairs of footsteps come up behind him. He stared at the milkshakes.
"That's not fair, you got milkshakes without me." Ryouta exclaimed.
"Oh, oops." Hatsuko said nonchalantly.
"Nee-san is mean!" Ryouta said.
Tetsuya noticed Kioko sleeping. "Did oneesama finish already?"
Ryouta looked sheepish. "About that..."
Hatsuko held a hand up. "Do not bother covering for her."
Ryouta shifted a bit when he saw that glint in his sisters eyes. 'Rest in pieces, Kiko-cchi.'
Tetsuya also noticed the glint. 'I wonder if oneesama will live.'
Hatsuko crouched down and gave Kioko the famous Kuroko jab*. The younger girl yelped and clutched her side. "Nee-chan! Why did you do that?"
The collage student smiled sweetly. "To wake you up of course, since you finished those 30 laps so quickly I will give you harder things to do."
Kioko paled, her sister had found out that she did not run the laps. 'Damn, I'm screwed.'
1 hour of screaming later
Tetsuya, Ryouta, Kioko and Hatsuko were in the same basketball court as they were in earlier. Both blonds and bluenette ignored the complaints coming from the high school girl. Ryouta was dribbling the ball and made it near the hoop, he jumped and tried to do a fade away. He failed horribly and lost his balance.
Tetsuya shot up and ran towards his older brother. "Vous vous sentez bien? Es-tu blessé? (Are you okay? Are you hurt?)"
Ryouta smiled up at the tealnette. "Je vais bien. Ne t'inquiète pas, petit frère.(I'm fine. Don't worry, little bro)."
Kioko looked at the two boys with a blank face. "So, why are you speaking french?"
Hatsuko did not look suprised. "Tetsuya usually starts speaking another language when he gets worried or angry."
Kioko mouth dropped open, she looked at her youngest brother. "How did I not notice that?"
"That is because you do not pay attention." Hatsuko stated.
Tetsuya looked his brother up and down. "Es-tu sûr(e)?(Are you sure)"
"Yes. I'm fine, Tetsuya-cchi." Ryouta said. "You changed languages again."
Tetsuya's eyes widened. "I am sorry, oniisama. I was just worried."
The youngest blond stood up and patted the youngest siblings head. "It's okay, Tetsuya-cchi. It just motivates me to try harder."
The Tealnette smiled and went back to the bench he was previously sitting on.
The young model dribbled the ball in his hand. 'I have to perfect this move. For Tetsuya-cchi.' He dribbled to the hoop once again, jumped and leaned backwards. Ryouta let go of the ball and it swished cleanly through the hoop. He heard Kioko's cheers and Hatsuko's clapping from behind him. He turned around and saw Tetsuya with his arms spread apart.
"For your efforts, I will allow you to hug me."
This was like music to Ryouta's ears and he pounced on his younger brother.
Time skip-ssu (Monday)
Ryouta and Tetsuya walked up to the school gates, the older of the two grinned brightly as he dragged the younger one through the gates. Today was the day.
Omake
When the four of them reached the house, Hatsuko dissmissed the two youngest siblings and told Kioko to put on pajamas and meet her in her room.
Kioko stood in front of Hatsuko's door, she was about to knock but the door slowly opened revealing the oldest sibling with a sweet smile on her face. For some odd reason Kioko did not like the weird smile on her sisters face but nonetheless came in and sat on a chair near Hatsuko's desk.
Hatsuko had two thick textbooks in her arms, she placed them on her desk with a huge slam. "You can use these text books to revise math for an hour, after that I will ask you some questions. If you happen to get them wrong punishment awaits."
Kioko paled greatly. Why was it always her. (Author's note: Every story needs comic relief.)
1 hour later
"Solve these simultaneous equations. x2 y2 = 29 y – x = 3?" Hatsuko said.
Kioko fidgited. "Uh, y=7 and x=1."
"Wrong." Hatsuko stated, bringing out her fan. "Now for punishment..."
Kioko's screams echoed through the house.
Omake 2
Ryouta set down a 'vanilla' milkshake on the table and waited for Tetsuya to show up. The said boy walked through the door and spotted the milkshake.
"Oniisama, is that a vanilla milkshake?" Tetsuya asked.
Ryouta nodded and gave the milkshake to Tetsuya. "Yep! I made it just for you!"
The tealnette took the drink greatfully. "Thank you, oniisama." He took a sip of the drink, and lowered it from his face. "Oniisama, is this chocolate?"
Ryouta smiled. "Maybe."
A dark aura grew around Tetsuya. "Hermano, tu cometiste un gran error.(brother you made a big mistake.) He murmured. "No te metas con batidos de vainilla.(Do not mess with vanilla milkshakes.)"
later that day
Ryouta was sitting on the couch scrolling through channels with a bored expression on his face. He had just come back from the training session with his nee-san, and was beyond tired. Just then, he felt something cold touch his face, he sat up yelping.
"That's cold!" Ryouta exclaimed.
Tetsuya looked at him with a blank expression. "Of course it is cold, most people like cold fizzy drinks."
Ryouta just stared at his little brother, he was so blunt sometimes. He took the drink from Tetsuya and opened it up. Within a split second the drink exploded in his face.
Tetsuya watched in satisfaction when the drink exploded and destroyed his older brother's clothing. His face remained impassive but their were devil horns rising up on his head.
Ryouta was sat there looking at the bottle with confusion, why would it randomly explode in his face? He then noticed the devil horns on his brother's head.
"What did I do to deserve this!?" Ryouta whined.
"Who knows..." Tetsuya stated nonchalantly. "Happy April fools day."
Ryouta stared at his brother with disbelief. Today was April fools? He needed to pay more attention to national holidays.*
Tetsuya turned around and walked away humming to himself. 'Opposite day would be fun~'
*Kuroko jab: Their mother's maiden name was Kuroko and she was the one that used the jab often.
*National holiday: April fools is not actually a national holiday, but I did not know how else to phrase it.
Author's note: This chapter is finished, finally. Even though I am on a holiday I could not help but to procrastinate, but here you go another chapter. I was not entirely happy with this one (maybe because it was filler) though...I had not updated in a while so here you go. I am rambling...
Farewell~
