Nure sat down, sighing. Ite was off with his newfound friend, some guy named Geki (To be honest, Nure thought Geki was a total player) and Ama was doing a study session with someone else named Moe.
Nure was just about to go to her dorm when Hasu and Tsuta came running up to her, grabbing her hands and pulling her down the hallway- away from her wing.
"W-what's going on, you two?" She cried. Of course, neither could reply with Tsuta being deaf and Hasu mute, but she continued to ask for answers as she was lead to the music room.
Once inside, the two boys placed her in a chair and put a blindfold on her.
"What the hell is going on," Nure gasped.
She could hear shuffling about, then suddenly the blindfold was taken off. She found herself staring at three boys, each with their hands behind their back and their short, ginger hair slicked back.
"Oh, are we playing a game," she asked Saki- the only one who could speak and hear properly, although which of the three she did not know. Nobody replied.
"Y'know, it's really hard to tell you apart. Saki usually has his hair pulled down infront of his eyes, while Hasu has his flipped to the side and Tsuta over his ears. With your guys' hair like this, I have no clue who's who!"
Nobody replied. So it was a game! It was, "Guess who is Saki."
Nure sighed and leaned back into the chair. The triplets were identacle, so as she had said before, it was nearly impossible to tell them apart.
"We haven't played this game since I was 14. That was nearly 4 years ago, guys!"
Still nothing. It was then that Nure got an idea.
Having the brothers as good friends since they were 3, the girl knew well how to get them to react differently, and had a secret.
Just for Tsuta, she had been learning sign language. And now was the time to surprise him.
Signing out 'Are you Tsuta' very slowly, she noticed that the boy on the right was grinning.
"Not you," she chuckled.
Next, which one was Saki? Saki was blind, so he couldn't react if something was thrown at him- but Hasu could. Smirking to herself, Nure slowly picked up a pencil that was on the ground, and threw it at the boy in the middle. He opened his mouth in a soundless cry and caught the writing utensil.
A chuckle came from her. "Saki, you're the one on the very left."
He grimaced and pulled his hair back to the regular position.
"You threw something at Hasu, didn't you? You didn't hurt him, did you?"
Hasu patted Saki on the shoulder, smiling- although Saki couldn't see.
Tsuta leaped at Nure and wrapped himself around her waist, grinning widly still. The girl patted his ginger hair to cover his ears, like normal, and smiled softly.
"What was the meaning of the game?"
"We wanted to see who you would guess first. So that they could do this.." With that, Saki patted Tsuta, so grinned even bigger and pulled a card from his jacket pocket. Nure took it when it was offered to her, and opened it, then read it out loud.
"To our best friend: We're happy to say that you've been with us for over 10 years, and it just so happens to be your 18th birthday. The three of us wish you the best and hope that you'll have a great year. Signed, Saki, Hasu and Tsuta."
Nure looked up to see Saki smiling softly. She leaned forwards and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks guys," she giggled, and Hasu quickly signed it to Tsuta, as he had been doing the entire time.
Saki's face was bright red as Nure ambled out of the music room and down to her dorms, to wait for Ite.
