Here is chapter 2, enjoy!
Yume slowly opened her eyes as she came in contact with an unfamiliar room. It was then that she realized she was no longer sleeping in the old room she shared with her dear twin. She sat up, stretched her limbs and began to get ready for what the day had in store for her.
After putting her untamed hair into a ponytail, she emerged from her room and headed to the dining room. She slowly walked up to the railing and noticed Ukyo preparing breakfast.
"Good morning, Ukyo," the brunette girl called out as she walked down the stairs.
"And a good morning to you as well, Yume. It's still a little early for you to be up."
"I could say the same to you," her voice held a laugh, "My guess is you're in charge of meals in this household. That changes today 'cause I plan on helping you in anyway I can." He gently smiled at her as he instructed her to set the table to which she followed immediately. Not long after that, Ema, along with Juli, had descended the stairs to help out her twin with serving the rice. Wataru soon followed after and was happy that he could have breakfast with his two older sisters. Ema and Yume smiled at him as Yusuke and Subaru came down shortly after.
Ema greeted the two of them which only created a heavy atmosphere. Yume understood with Yusuke since she's been aware of his feelings for her twin but Subaru had been a different story. She brushed it off as Wataru pulled her to sit next to him. When Yusuke sat down, Juli immediately ran over to hiss at the red haired male. Yume held in a snicker as she peacefully ate her breakfast.
The female twins along with Yusuke were on the way to school on a crowded train, much to Yume's discomfort. Her sister and the red haired male were conversing while she blocked them out. She was more than relieved when they reached their stop and were able to get off the busy train. As they neared closer to their school, Yume noticed a familiar figure waiting patiently by the school entrance. She immediately ran to the person forgetting her two companions.
"Rai!" the said male looked to the voice and was greeted by a warming embrace.
"I swear, Yume, one of these days you're gonna kill me without meaning to," he joked as the said girl snuggled into his chest. She looked up and melted at the sight of her favorite pair of blue eyes. Her hands intertwined with his silky raven locks and she couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.
"Hey, lovebirds, don't do that in front of the school." Yume and Rai gave each other space as they looked at an annoyed Yusuke and smiling Ema.
"Yusuke Asahina? Did lil Ema finally get a boyfriend?" Rai asked causing both Ema and Yusuke blush while Yume stifled a laugh. The warning bell for class rang and Yume composed herself.
"I'll tell you at lunch, 'kay?" She pecked him on the punch as she intertwined their hands and took off into a sprint to class. Yusuke and Ema broke out of their trance as they followed suit.
Lunch rolled around faster than expected and Yume still had a couple of laughs in her after Yusuke's declaration in class. She met up with Rai and explained to him that her father was getting married and Yusuke was one of her new step brothers. She also handed him the wedding invitation which he gladly accepted.
"I can't wait to meet your father, Yume. Even though we've been going steady for almost a year now, I've never had the opportunity to properly introduce myself as your boyfriend. I'm a little nervous to be honest." Yume smiled as she gave him a small peck on the cheek.
"Knowing you, you'll do just fine." On that note, the two went off to eat their lunch.
School ended for the day and the brunette twins arrived to an empty household. Juli knew better and felt a presence of a brother. Ema tried to calm him down as Yume looked over the couch to find Fuuto sleeping. The older twin gasped in surprise which caused the younger boy to wake up.
"Who are you two? My brothers finally got their hands on some girlfriends?" Ema quickly objected as Yume explained.
"We are Rintarou Hinata's daughters who arrived yesterday. Meaning we are your new step sisters, nice to meet you." He stood up from his sleeping position as he understood the situation. He walked up to the girls with a look of disappointment.
"You're both pretty cute but one of you looks like an idiot." Juli began hissing at him, Ema was stuttering her words and Yume glared at the male. She gently pushed her sister to the side as she stepped closer to him.
"We are to be your older sisters so it is only polite to respect us. If you insult one of us, you insult us both. I hope we can get along but if insist on being a disrespectful brother," she tapped his cheek lightly as her tone became harsher, "I won't hesitate on giving you a bruise or two on this important face of yours. I could even make sure you'll never hit a perfect note again. So I'll say this once more, I hope we can get along." She smiled at him but her anger was still evident. He didn't look fazed and simply returned the smile.
"Well, at least things will get interesting here," he turned around and began walking off, "Please take care of me, Sis." When he was out of sight, Yume turned to her twin before heading to her room.
The moment she stepped inside the tight space, she opened up a box that revealed all her merchandise of Fuuto Asakura. She picked up one of her posters, staring at it for a good while before letting out a deep sigh and putting the item back inside the box.
Half an hour passed after the Fuuto situation and Ema came over to Yume's room. She explained how the next day would be Subaru's birthday and that she was put in charge of making his cake. She asked her twin if she'd be willing to help her pick up the materials as well as make the cake. The younger twin happily complied and so the two made plans to go out tomorrow.
Juli and Yume were constantly worried about Ema who had been visibly struggling with the bags. The younger brunette explained she would be more than willing to take care of the bags but the older twin would always decline. Eventually, she couldn't withstand the weight of the bags any longer and collapsed to the ground. Yume crouched down beside her with a little worry in her eyes.
"If it were Subaru doing this, he'd have no problem lifting something like this," Ema commented while Juli and Yume agreed, "Doing roadwork and other things for his club, he's really amazing!"
"You noticed?" The brunette twins turned around to find the source of the voice but were left with nothing. Yume used this to her advantage as she grabbed the bags, giving her twin a firm look that said, 'I'll take care of these and you can't stop me.'
When they were finally inside the house, a pair of legs was spotted on the stairs. It appeared to be Louis sleeping. He woke up when he heard Ema and Juli worry about him. He looked at Ema as he called her, 'Chi.' The twins and squirrel all wondered why he called her that. Louis explained to them that he planned on sleeping on the couch but didn't make it in the end. He went on to ask the sisters if he could style their hair for Subaru's birthday.
Yume was admiring her new look as Ema was having her hair styled. Louis was about to do the finishing touches when the curling iron stopped working. He went off to get a new one saying he wanted to this until the end. Juli commented that he was professional so it's only natural he'd want to do a perfect job. They all turned their heads towards the railing when they heard footsteps coming at a fast rate. It was Fuuto and he was wondering where Louis was. Ema told him he'd be back soon which frustrated the younger male. She asked him if he was in a hurry.
"Why do I have to tell an outsider like you?" he rudely replied with a question. Yume didn't have the tolerance for this, so she raced up the stairs and gave the boy a pinch on the cheek. "Ow, the hell?!"
"Strike one. Next time you receive a strike, it probably won't be just a simple pinch. And when you've hit strike three, you could say goodbye to your precious career as an idol." Instead of showing fear, like Yume intended, Fuuto simply gave her an intense look.
"You changed your hairstyle, right? You look even more beautiful than before," he spoke with a small smile until Yume kicked him in the stomach, "Ow! What now?!"
"Strike two," her tone became harsher, "You honestly think flattery would get you anywhere? I know your type so that look and comment won't do you any good." Fuuto picked up his phone and got into a small argument with the person on the other end before complying with their wishes.
"I'm so unlucky that Louis isn't here," he gave Yume a smirk as he turned around to leave, "See you later, my pretty sister!"
Ema and Yume finished making the cake on time and everyone began to admire it. The only brothers who were able to attend were Masaomi, Ukyo, Kaname, Tsubaki, Azusa, Iori, Yusuke and Wataru. Both Tsubaki and Kaname thought it'd be fun to tease the twin sisters but Azusa and Iori stopped them. Iori was the one to point out their new hairstyles to which Ema explained that Louis had been the one to arrange it.
They calmed down as they sat at the table, anticipating Subaru to blow out his candles even though he was a little embarrassed. Ema explained that she'd take pictures and with that, he made his wish. They all congratulated him and began to eat. Everyone was enjoying the cake and the twin sisters simply thanked them with modesty.
After the excitement, the sisters went to Ema's room to enjoy the pictures she took. She was overjoyed by the liveliness of the household while Yume simply smiled at her twin. Ema noticed that her phone was missing and remembered she left it downstairs. So they went to go retrieve the little item.
"Then, what do you think of them, Subaru?" The two of them stopped in their tracks as they heard Tsubaki ask the said male. He was hesitant to reply which only made the white haired male tease him more. Eventually he let out his response.
"To make it clear, it's annoying!" Ema was a little hurt by his words while Yume continued to listen, "It's always been us guys, but then suddenly two girls come into the picture. Since they came, I have to be careful when I'm using the bathroom, and I can't take my top off when I'm training. I'm going to wash my face." When he walked up the stairs, he noticed the twin sisters and Ema ran off to her room. Yume stood for a moment glaring at the male before walking up to him.
"Look, I don't care what you have to say about me but Ema does. You hurt her and that's something I will never forgive." She left him there as she stormed off to her twin's room.
"I was an annoyance after all," Yume heard Ema say as she walked in. She walked towards her and hugged her from behind.
"If you're annoyance, then so am I. You don't need their opinion because you'll always be the most important person to me. I love you, Ema." The two sisters stayed in their position until there was a ring at the door. Ema opened it to reveal Subaru. He apologized to her and the brunette replied she was fine. When he bowed to show his forgiveness, he lost balance and ended up falling on Ema. Yume instantly ran over to the pair as Tsubaki and Azusa showed up. The white haired twin dragged his younger brother who had passed out from too many drinks.
Yume glared at the passed out drunk while Ema seemed to worry. The male twins turned to the females as they apologized for Subaru's comment. Tsubaki mentioned it was his fault for teasing the younger male to much. They went on to ask if he had come on to Ema who simply said he tripped so it was an accident.
"Even if it was an accident, Sis, there's no way I can forgive him." The male twins agreed with Yume's idea and left with their passed out brother. The younger brunette bid her sister goodnight as she made her way to her room.
When the morning came, the two girls came down to the living room to find the other pair of twins in the house. Azusa returned Ema's phone to which the brunette was grateful for. Tsubaki explained how he took on revenge for them and mentioned not to look at the other side of the couch for the time being. Ukyo shortly came after and asked the sisters if they could provide him some assistance with hanging the laundry to dry.
"I'm so happy that I was asked to do housework. It's like I'm a real member of the family," Ema explained while enjoying the breeze. Juli seemed to have respect for Ukyo while he yelled about how he despised Subaru. Yume simply laughed as she continued with hanging the laundry. The older brunette went on about how she hoped that one day Subaru would accept her and Yume as members of the family.
Yume was out doing errands when school ended. Ema had planned to go with her but had forgotten about her career/college application and needed to fill it out. The brunette finished quicker than expected and thus decided to go to a video/bookstore to buy a cookbook. There she ran into none other than Fuuto.
"What are you doing here, Fuuto?" He jumped slightly at the sound of his name and glared at the brunette girl before walking up to her.
"Don't call my name so loudly! What are you going to do if the other customers figure out I'm here?"
"Not my problem, just curious why you're here is all," she took a glance at the DVDs in his hands, "You're borrowing all those?"
"It's for work."
"Wait, you're appearing in a movie?" her voice raised slightly as Fuuto clasped his hand over her mouth. The other customers turned their attention towards the pair much to the younger male's despise. He shoved the DVDs into Yume's arms stating she should take responsibility and rent them out for him. She sighed when he was out of sight and decided to do this one task for him.
Yume returned home to find Fuuto waiting impatiently for her by her room. "Sorry to have kept you waiting," she said with a dry tone as she walked up to him.
"You're completely wrong if you think just apologizing will make me satisfied," he leaned in close to whisper in her ear, "I'll be doing many things to for a punishment. That is, in your room."
Alright, chapter 2 done! Was it too long or just enough to satisfy you all? Anyways, hope you enjoyed and can't wait to see you all in the next chapter!
