I changed my clothes to something comfy and brush my teeth, I just made a bun and went to Rin's house, I knocked on the door and he appeared
"Even if you just woke up you're still cute" I giggled, I was a mess but thanked him anyway
"Where is she?" he answered in the living room and I went to say hi
"Morning Yukino, I was going to the mall with my friend Nami but she couldn't come, I don't like to shop alone and your brother is too lazy, wanna come?" when she saw me she ran and hugged me
"hai onee-chan"
"Then get changed and we can go" I smiled, when she left I turned to Rin, who was pretty confused
"We're going to have girl talk, later I'll call you to meet us, don't worry" and he nodded
After we left Suna's house we walked holding hands until we arrive at the mall
"Yukino, you seem a little bit down today, are you okay?"
"I-It's not your fault Sunnie, it's nothing..." she said almost whispering the last words
"C'mon, we're friends, aren't we? you can trust me, I won't tell a word to Rin"
"Today is my best friend's birthday and I can't go to her party..." I asked why "her other friends and the boy I-I like said I'm not too feminine 'cause I like to play sports, and It would ruin Mina's reputation" she was looking to the ground, I could hear that her voice was weak
"Just it? I can solve your problem in 30 minutes, let's go" then I grabbed her wrist and we entered the clothes store, I pick a lot of clothes for her to try on. Before she started to get changed I asked to take a picture of her.
When she was inside of the fitting room, I started to talk
"Yuki, do you think you're pretty?" she remained in silence, she was probably thinking then I heard the answer
"I'm not too much feminine but I don't think I'm not pretty"
"But why you think you aren't feminine? just because the others told you that?"
"I think because I like to play sports, I really like to play handball, I like this clothes it's so beautiful" then she left the fitting room
"You're amazing, let me take another pic, another question, do you think I'm feminine?"
"Yes, I wish I could be like you, you're really stunning" then she went to try on another look
"Can I tell you a secret?" she happily said yes "I'm one of the best volleyball players of America of my age" I used to be but she doesn't need to know that right now, she slowly opened the door and asked me if it was true "Yes, it's true, I like playing sports just like you since I was a child" I could see her eyes sparkling
"Then why you're here? I like this one too, you have a good taste" and she showed to me her clothes
"Because I wanted to go back home, actually I needed that, but that's not what we're talking about" I take another photo "You said I'm pretty, but I'm a sporty girl just like you" she went to change her clothes for the last time "being feminine doesn't mean wearing pretty clothes, doing nice makeup's or being cute, it's what is inside you, the straight of being whatever you want to be" I sent a message to Rin asking if he has some photo of Yukino playing handball
She left the fitting room "You're stunning Yukino, you don't have to be like me, everyone can be beautiful in their own ways, come here let me show you" she sits beside me "What's the difference between these photos?" she said the clothes "It's true, and you said you were pretty wearing each one them, they're different clothes but you're only one, can you get what I'm saying?" she nodded "Look at the last one" It's was her playing handball "See? The same pretty girl, in different photos, being feminine in all of them"
"My father made me feel that I wasn't good enough, for a long time he made me hate myself for being small, being weak, for being a girl, but I found friends that helped to love myself that's when I understand that doesn't matter how much people tell you, you're pretty, if you don't feel that you're, you can't be happy" I sigh "If you really like playing handball let me tell you: there'll be boys telling you can't play for being too feminine and there'll be girls telling you can't hang out with them because you aren't feminine enough, don't listen to them, do whatever you want and show you can easily do both" she happily nodded
"Let's go I'm going to pay for your clothes, it's a gift and while I'm doing this, send a message to your friend Mina and ask if she wants you to try another style or go with the same clothes, and you decide if you want to go or not, just because you care about her and not 'cause others think about you" and I left, when I came back she said
"Mina said I could wear what I'm comfortable with, she just wants to party with me" she was with a beautiful smile
"See? Stick with people that only wants to be with you 'cause who you're" before we left the store to eat, I decided to change my clothes to "Now, let me show you how a good boy should treats a woman"
While we were walking to the food court I asked Yuki
"Do you heard the first thing your brother told me in the morning?"
"That you were cute"
"Right, and we can agreed that I was a pretty mess" she giggled then we found Rintaro waiting for us, when he notice us he was shocked
"Y-you two are really... cute" and both of us laughed
"See? a nice boy have to be able to find you're cute being a mess or not" I whispered to her
"Why you're wearing these clothes? let me hold these bags for you"
"Yukino is going to her friend's party and I... I just wanted to change my clothes, let's go eat something, I'm hungry"
After we finished, Rin paid for our lunch and we walk with Yuki to her party, I make a braid in her hair. When she knocked on the door a little boy of her age opened it, when he saw her he was openmouthed
"H-Hi Suna, You're c-cute" but showed her tongue to him and ran to her friend's direction to hug her undoing the braid I've made before
"Oi, Yuki don't d-"
"Let her be, that's no big deal"
"But I thought she liked that boy"
"It's your fault for being such a good brother, now she knows how she want to be treated, let's go, I'm tired and I need to watch some movie" then we went to my house "I don't remember inviting you to join me"
"Too late, now I'm already here" I changed my clothes and I sit with him on the living's room couch, we decided to what Beetlejuice
"So, what was her problem"
"It's a girl's secret, all you need to know it's that she'll be ok, if anything happens she'll call me"
"WhAt she looks like more your sister then mine"
"Don't be jealous"
"At least let me pay for the clothes you bought to her"
"Don't worry, it was a gift, now I know who is my favorite Suna" he looked at me perplexed and I laughed "You should see your face right now"
"I. Am. The. Favorite. Period" then he used my legs as a pillow and laid on the whole couch. When the movie ended Yuki called us to pick her
"You don't need to go, you know right?"
"But I will"
When we arrived at Mina's house all the kids were outside, we said hi and the children surrounded me
"You're a famous volleyball player? So pretty"
"Yuki is your friend?"
"Yes! She is my big sister and this is my big brother, they're friends, they're the bests playing volleyball"
"So cool" RIn looked at me annoyed
"What? I got fans now" and I winked to him, after a couple of minutes we left, Rintaro was giving Yuki a piggyback ride while she was holding my hand
"When I grew up, I want to have the same confidence as you one-chan!"
"Please no, one Hikari is too much to handle" Rin said and we laughed.
