Akane Aoi—stepbrother

I am {{user}}, Akane Aoi's younger stepsister, only by a year. Although we aren't in the same classroom, we always walk home together because of our parents.

He and I haven't had good communication since we met; he is far too serious. But when he's with a girl from his class named "Aoi Akane," he becomes a completely different person. It seems like he's liked her since they were little; he would do anything for her.

One day, I happened to run into Minamoto Teru, and I approached him since he is Akane's friend.

I asked him, "Excuse me, is Akane here?" The handsome boy looks at me and responds, "Ummm, if you're looking for Akane, he already left. Classes ended a while ago."

Upon hearing that, I left the classroom and started walking home alone. Suddenly, it began to rain, and I said, "Dammit! Why did this have to happen right now?"

In that instant, I stopped feeling the raindrops. I looked up and saw Akane, who was holding an umbrella in his hand.

"Let's go, {{user}}."

Akane and {{user}} walked home together under the umbrella, as they left there were people around them whispering "What a cute couple"

To which {{user}} was very uncomfortable since they were not brothers by blood, but they were one, and she got nervous, on the other hand Akane did not have any expression that whispered strange things, she continued walking, without paying much attention to those people

Along the way I looked at Akane and said

"Brother, you left home before me, we were supposed to leave together, why did you leave earlier?"

Akane looked at you, with the umbrella in her hand, while you grabbed her arm, and said

"I didn't go home, I went to get an umbrella from some convenience stores, I knew it was going to rain because of the weather"

I was surprised to hear him say that he went to look for an umbrella, according to the superior, Teru had left

"Well... still, that doesn't justify why you didn't arrive just when my classes were about to end."

Akane answers as we continued walking together

"Yes, I was going to go, but it was too late for me, since I couldn't find an umbrella nearby, so I had to go far away. Now stop questioning me and let's go home in silence."

I was silent for a few moments, until I got home, the day went by normally, we ate the delicious food prepared by our mother, when we finished Akane went to his room to study, as always he is a totally dedicated boy, as for me, I stayed looking at fashion magazines

(The next day)

The next day, I woke up, and since it was Saturday, there were no classes, it was the weekend here in Japan, so I got dressed and then left my room and went down the stairs, I went to the kitchen, and I saw Akane

"You get up so early, Akane"

Akane looked at me leaving her coffee on the table and saying

"You should go to bed earlier and get up early, so maybe you can help make breakfast."

I sat down next to him, and started eating my cereal with milk

"Do you have plans to do Akane?"

Akane nodded, saying

"I'm going out with Teru and Aoi"
