*Alarm Ringing*
'Hmm? Is it already morning? Why is it every time that when we sleep, it feels like nothing happened in the past eight hours?' I then reached for my phone and stopped the alarm.
'Huh? where am I?' I then looked around and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. 'That's right! Nee-chan and I moved with the Asahina brothers. I should better check if Nee-chan is already feeling better,'
I then jumped out of bed and grabbed a horizontal crop tee and a white waist high shorts, and went straight to the bathroom. After that, I went straight to Nee-chan's room to find her room empty.
'Huh? Maybe she's in the kitchen. She always wakes up early and cooks breakfast,'
When I reached the elevator to the living room, I grabbed the key that was hidden under the flower pot and unlocked the door since it is an auto-lock door.
"Hey, Lisa-chan is also awake now. Good morning Imouto-chan," Kana-nii greeted while resting on the couch. Beside him is Subaru Nii-chan.
'Wow, they sure do like to wake up early. I thought most boys would rather stay in bed until late afternoon,'
"Good morning Kana Nii-chan, Subaru Nii-chan," I replied. "You two sure are up early. Did you two go for a run?"
"Yes, we did." Kana Nii-chan replied. "Suba-chan never misses his morning jog. I, on the other hand, just went for some company."
"Would you two like some water? Or a Tart cherry juice? I heard that drinking cherry juice improve recovery and reduce inflammation," I informed.
"I would like to have some if it is not a bother to you," Kana Nii-chan replied.
"Of course it's not a bother. I just want my Nii-chans to be healthy," I cheered.
"Haha! You're so very considerate Imouto-chan. It sure is nice to have a little sister to take care of you, while having little brothers sure is tiresome. They can be stubborn at times," Kana Nii-chan joked, making Subaru Nii-chan blush and I laughing.
'Suba Nii-chan sure is adorable when he blushed,' he then noticed me looking at him and looks away. 'Oh, right. Suba Nii-chan is shy around girls,'
"Erm, Suba Nii-chan." I called, and he looked at me, "I know that you're shy around girls, I also am shy when it comes to many people around. However, I do wish that we could get along well! We are siblings now,"
Suba Nii-chan then blushed and looked away, "Y-yeah." When he said that, It made me so happy I smiled so wide I thought my face would rip off.
"By the way, why are you up so early?"Kana Nii-chan asked.
"Oh, I was looking for Nee-chan. I wanted to check if she was feeling better now, but I found her room to be empty. So I concluded that she might be at the kitchen making breakfast," I answered.
"Is that so? Your sister is at the kitchen assisting Kyo-Nii with breakfast. How about you? Are you also going to help?" Kana Nii-chan asked.
"U-uh, Erm. I'm not quite good at cooking, hehe." I blushed while scratching the back of my head. "Though I do like to bake sometimes. Like cookies, cupcakes, and cinnamon rolls."
"Kawaii, no need to be embarrassed Imouto-chan. I sure am Looking forward to your cookies soon,"
"Okay! If ever I have some ingredients I make you one Onii-chan!" I cheered. "Well, I should better check Nee-chan. See you later Kana Nii-chan, Suba Nii-chan,"
When I went into the kitchen, I saw Ukyo Nii-chan and Ema Nee-chan preparing breakfast. "Good morning Ukyo Nii-chan! Ema Nee-chan!" I greeted happily.
"Good morning Lisa," "Good morning Lisa-chan,"
"Wah, whatever the two of you are cooking sure does smell amazing. I'm getting hungry just by the smell of it!" I said as I leaned on the isle.
"You're always hungry, Lisa." Nee-chan teased.
"Muu, that's not true Nee-chan." I pouted. Nii-chan and Nee-chan just laughed at my reaction and continued cooking. "How are you feeling, Nee-chan?"
"I'm feeling fine at the moment. I must have been tired because of all the unpacking which might have caused the fever," Nee-chan said.
"By the way, I've wanted to ask you two something." Nii-chan started. "How many years is the age gap between the two of you? Because you don't seem to have such a large sum of age between the two of you,"
"Oh, it's only a couple of months," I replied.
"Then why do you call Ema 'Nee-chan' if it is only a couple of months?"
"Because I like calling the one older than me 'Nee-chan' and 'Nii-chan'" I replied happily with my arms up like a child excited to ride a rollercoaster. Doing this made Nii-chan chuckle.
All of a sudden I felt like something is brushing my hair. I looked at the source of it and saw a man with mauve coloured eyes and messy ash pink hair in a side ponytail, leaving his bangs covering his right eye.
"Crimson red... very good," the man spoke while holding a piece of my hair.
"Huh?" I tilted my head in confusion.
"Ah, I haven't introduced you two yet, have I? This is Subaru's older brother, Louis. He got home last night and met Ema. I was going to introduce him to you, but I already found you sleeping in your room." I then blushed.
"Nice to meet you Louis Nii-chan, sorry I wasn't able to greet you yesterday."
"Yes, it's nice to meet you too." He replied and continued stroking my hair. "You have lovely hair. It's so smooth and fragrant. Would you like for me to style it into something different?"
"Really? I've always wanted to try new hairstyles, but I don't know how." I giggled. "However, why is it that you want to style my hair?"
"Ah, sorry about that, I forgot to mention. Louis is a hairstylist. Even outside of work, he's always noticing people's hair." Ukyo Nii-chan replied.
"Ohh, this is amazing! Can you do my hair today Louis Nii-chan?" I asked.
"Of course. Let's go to the living room while waiting for breakfast," Louis Nii-chan said.
"Oh! Wait for just a second," I said and walked to the refrigerator to grab two bottles of tart cherry juice then I went with Louis Nii-chan to the living room to style my hair. After I gave Kana Nii-chan and Suba Nii-chan the juice, I sat on the floor in front of Louis Nii-chan to make it easier for him to style my hair.
"Wah, Louis Nii-chan. You sure very gently with your hands. Some can be very rough when styling hairs," I said.
"It is because hairs can be damaged easily if it is not handled carefully," He replied. "There you go, all done."
I stood and walked towards the mirror and check my hair. I saw that my hair was styled into a Halo braid updo with bangs hanging on the sides.
"Wah! It's so beautiful! Thank you Louis Nii-chan!" I chirped and run to hug him.
"You're welcome, Imouto-chan."
"You look adorable Imouto-chan," Tsubaki Nii-chan said when he entered the room.
"Thank you Nii-chan and good morning to you. Did you sleep well?" I asked.
"I slept like a baby knowing that I have two adorable sisters waiting for me," Tsubaki Nii-chan expressed. Then suddenly, the scent of the food cooked by Ukyo Nii-chan and Nee-chan spread around the room.
"Hmm, something smells good." Wataru chirped.
"Let's go, I'm getting hungry." I then grabbed Wataru's hand and led him to the kitchen.
When we reached there, all the food was prepared which made my mouth water in hunger. Then one by one, the other followed and sat at the table
"Itadakimas!"
"Ah, today's miso soup is so good!" Tsubaki Nii-chan squealed.
"It is very delicious. Kyo-Nii, did you change something?" Azusa Nii-chan asked.
When I looked at Ukyo Nii-chan I saw that his brows were wrinkled. It was as if he was annoyed by something.
'Does he not like compliments? That's at first,'
"Kyo-Nii, what's the matter? Your brow is all wrinkled." Tsubaki Nii-chan stated.
"Hmm, nothing."
'Does he truly not like compliments to the point that I am seeing smoke blow out of his ears?'
"Oh- erm, why don't we flip on the television, huh? hehe," Nee-chan suggested nervously.
'Ohh, now I get it. Nee-chan must have change something on the soup that she's getting all the compliments and Ukyo Nii-chan is jealous,'
Azusa Nii-chan just nodded and he reached for the remote.
"Ah, it's Asakura Fuuto," Nee-chan said.
"Really?! Can we adjust the volume? Please Nii-chan!" I squealed while jumping on my seat.
"Are you a fan of Fuuto, Lisa-chan?" Iori Nii-chan asked.
"I wouldn't say that I 'fan' over him. I just admire him," I replied.
"His smiling face is made of lies," Tsubaki Nii-chan snarled.
"As expected, his song isn't very good." Even Azusa Nii-chan sneered.
"Considering your both in a similar line of work, that was quite a dry take," Nee-chan said.
"You think?" Azusa Nii-chan asked.
"But, his dancing is so cool!" Taru-kun exclaimed.
"Isn't it? I very much like Asakura's dancing too." Nee-chan agreed.
"Me too!" I chirped.
"By the way, I haven't seen him around lately." Iori Nii-chan murmured.
'Huh? Do they know each other? Are they close? As expected, popular people also know other popular people.'
"I think he's on tour," Suba Nii-chan added.
"Where is he now? Hokkaido?" Kana Nii-chan asked.
"Maybe he'll bring me crab? Or perhaps sea urchins... that'd be nice," Ukyo Nii-chan pondered.
"Both, ... Then, melon too." Louis Nii-chan added.
'Do they know him personally?'
"Coult it be... that everyone in this family is Asakura fans?" Nee-chan asked.
"Haha! Not in the least," Kana Nii-chan laughed.
"Wait? Could it be that no one told them?" Iori Nii-chan asked.
"Huh? About what?" Nee-chan asked.
"Erm, could it be that you know him personally?" I asked.
"Close. Fuuto is the second youngest of us brothers, that is to say, he's your brother." Iori Nii-chan replied.
"E-EEEH?!" "REALLY?!"
"Asakura is just a stage name," Iori Nii-chan added.
"Ha, haha... Really, you guys." Nee-chan muttered.
"Wow, that's so amazing," I exclaimed.
"Why is that, Imouto-chan?" Kana Nii-chan asked.
"It's just that this family sure has an amazing combination of people. And, amazingly, each brother is unique. I hope that I could live up to that," I murmured the last sentence hoping that no one heard it.
'It sure is hard to live in a family where they are successful in their own way. I feel like I'm the black hole in this family,'
After breakfast, I went straight up to my room to continue unpacking my things. "Let's go!"
kuruoshii hodo ni mune no oku ga
ima mo tsuyoku shimetsukerareteiru
mou yokatta no ni
tada itsu made mo kono kioku o
nakushitaku wa nai kara mou nido to...
sayonara
I sang along as I was unpacking. It is my favourite song by the band named 'Uxmishi', I adore their choice of genre and their songs, it's meaning is so deep that it gives me shivers every time.
"I didn't know that you have such a wonderful voice," a voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked for the source and saw Tsubaki Nii-chan and Azusa Nii-chan standing by the door.
"Nii-chan, you startled me! Don't you know how to knock?" squealed.
"Sorry Imouto-chan, you're voice enchanted me that I couldn't help but enter your room." Tsubaki Nii-chan apologized.
"I also agree," Azusa Nii-chan said.
"Was I that loud?"
'My gosh, how embarrassing,'
"Not really, we were just walking down the hallway to our room when we heard your voice and couldn't help but check." Azusa Nii-chan said.
"Hey, hey, Imouto-chan. Have you ever thought of being an idol or even a voice actor?" Tsubaki Nii-chan asked as he sat on my bed.
"Not really," I uttered.
"But why? You have such a lovely voice. It would be a waste if no one hears your voice," Tsubaki Nii-chan whined.
"Tsubaki, don't push her if she doesn't want to." Azusa Nii-chan argued.
"It's not that I don't want to. It's just that... Before it was just Nee-chan and I. I didn't want to leave her alone, and if I pursued that dream, she'd be all alone, and I don't want that." I whimpered.
"Well," Azusa Nii-chan started. "You two are not alone anymore, would you consider it now?"
"Maybe?" I hesitated.
"Well, it decided then! I will contact our manager later in the hope that he will know someone who wants to support you with your dreams," Tsubaki Nii-chan exclaimed.
"E-Eh?! It's so sudden. I-I don't think-"
"Don't worry, Imouto-chan. We'll be here to guide and help you," Azusa Nii-chan comforted me.
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, I guess it could also help get rid of my shyness. I'll do it!" I assured. "However, I do have one request."
"What is it?" Azusa Nii-chan asked.
"Is it possible that we could hide it from everyone else for a while? I want it to be surprised," I asked.
"Of course! You can count us in, Imouto-chan." Tsubaki Nii-chan agreed.
"Thank you! Onii-chans!"
After that, they left the room and I continued unpacking some stuff.
'At last, I'm done!' I fell on the bed and started relaxing.
*Knock, knock*
"Come in,"
"Hey Lisa-chan," Nee-chan entered.
"Hi, Nee-chan! Do you need anything?"
"I was actually wondering if you would like to join me in buying a gift for Kaname-san, it's his birthday tomorrow," Nee-chan informed.
"Oh, right! I almost forgot! Good thing you reminded me Nee-chan and Of course I'll join you," I said and changed my clothes.
- - - - - TIME SKIP - - - - -
When Nee-chan and I were searching for our gifts for Kana Nii-chan, we both went on our separate ways to search.
'Hmm, what should I get him? I don't really know what he likes. UGH! this is so hard!'
"I sure am Looking forward to your cookies soon," Kana Nii-chan's voice echoed in my ear.
'That's right! Maybe I should just make him cookies,' I then went to the grocery and bought the ingredients I will be needing later.
'Oh! Kana Nii-chan is an active person, I can't just give him high-calorie cookies. Hmm, maybe I should use oatmeal to make it healthier. But, sometimes oatmeal makes the cookies hard and not soft. Hmm...'
While searching through the shelves for something that could help me with the cookies, I saw something that would just be the right thing to put in the cookies.
"Lisa-chan, did you get what you need?" Nee-chan asked.
"Yup! Let's go!"
'I sure do hope that Nii-chan would like his present'
