Brother&Sister

Shin's POV

It's Saturday so there is no school. On one hand I am happy but on the other hand I am soooo bored because I have nothing to do so I stay on my bed scrolling through social media.

I saw a post from Makoto's sister it's a picture of her taking a selfie with a young girl with a wet towel on her forehead laying on her bed

"Oh? So Yuna's illustrator is sick" I type "get well soon" in the comments.

"Wait a minute why is she taking a selfie?" I thought to myself "Ngeh not my problem"

After a few moments scrolling through social media and surfing on the internet for random stuff my sister called me.

"Brother! Breakfast is ready!" She shouted from downstairs.

"Coming!" I replied.

Ai is always energetic at all times so it's no surprise that she is up early even on holidays "Good morning brother" She greeted me.

"Morning Ai" i greeted her back.

I sat down as Ai set the table "Bacon and eggs huh?" I asked.

"Yep we don't have any other ingredients for anything else" She said.

"Then I'll buy some later. I'll cook later okay? What do you want?" I asked.

"Hmm how about pasta?" She asked back.

"Sure why not spicy or?" I asked again.

"You know I can't eat spicy foods" She replied.

"Okay okay don't worry" I said.

We talked with each other for a while about how we want the pasta to be served as we eat our breakfast.

After we ate our breakfast, Ai cleaned the table while I washed the dishes.

"Before we go buy the ingredients for later I'll take a bath first okay?" She said as she walked towards the bathroom.

"Okay i'll go after" I replied.

I sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. I skipped most of the news and stopped at something interesting.

Mr.Stephan is on TV. He is pretty famous so I'm not that surprised he was interviewed about Shishiro's first performance.

"Looks like they already announced it"

It looks like the date and place that the performance will be held is still under discussion.

He then refused to answer any more questions, After watching that I couldn't wait to see Shishiro perform.

"Brother, I'm done, you are free to use the bathroom now" Ai said as she left the bathroom.

"Alright" I replied.

I turned off the TV and went to the bathroom. After I finished freshen up I prepared to go and buy the groceries.

"Ai c'mon let's go" I called out for her.

"Coming!" She said.

"Say Brother can we stop by the bookstore for a moment after we do the groceries? There is a book i wanna buy" She asked.

I nodded and I waited for her to get ready and we both left together.

On the way to the grocery store I told Ai about what I saw on the news.

"Why am i not surprised? Heh as expected of a talented person such as her, Man i can't wait" She said.

"I know right? I'm quite envious of her" I said.

We talked along the way and we passed the park from yesterday and we just walked by it with a smile.

After a few minutes of walking we arrived at the grocery store.

We entered the store "Alright Ai could you find the thing on this list? I'll buy everything else" I gave a list of side ingredients to Ai and she then went to buy them.

I browse the store for the core ingredients and spices.

After i took all the ingredients all i needed was to buy the pasta, luckily there is still one left.

I reached my hand towards it and then another hand grabbed it, I looked to see who it is and turns out it's...

"Eh? Shishiro?" The other person that was reaching for the pasta was Shishiro.

"Shin? What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Isn't it obvious I'm buying ingredients?" I replied.

"Are you making pasta too?" She asked again.

She nodded "Ah yes you too?"

"Then you take it, I'll go look in other stores" I said.

"No no please take it, I don't mind" She refused.

"No please take it" I declined.

"Then I have a better idea. Let's cook at my house and eat together!" She said.

"That's a great idea" I agreed and proceeded to walk together with her to the counter and meet with Ai.

"Broth-eh? What is Shishi doing here?" She asked, confused.

We explained to Ai what happened and she just nodded.

After we paid for everything we went out of the store and Shishiro's driver was already waiting for us.

"These are my friends, they are going to come over. Can you please take them with us?" Shishiro asked.

The driver nodded "Oh wait Shishi can we stop by the bookstore there is this book i really want" Ai said.

"Oh sure, Can we?" Shishi asked the driver.

And once again he nodded and we all entered the car.

We arrived at the bookstore after a few minutes and then we got out of the car and entered.

Ai immediately rushed to a very specific book that was displayed near the entrance.

"Oh? That's the book you want?" Shishiro looked at the book that Ai was gazing at.

"Yes this is the final volume of my favorite manga The adventure of the little mage Layla i can't hold myself to not read it straight away!" She said

"Ahhaha okay then" Shishiro Replied

Ai immediately went to wait in line to pay the book.

Meanwhile me and Shishiro browse the store to see if something caught our interest.

I bought one book while Shishiro seems to have bought 2 books.

After we paid for all our books we got out of the store and re-enter the car.

We drive toward Shishiro's house. Along the way we read a bit of the book we bought because we don't have any topics to talk about.

We arrived at Shishiro's house "Is your parents home Shishi?" I asked.

"No they are on a business trip at least that's what they told me" She Replied.

We went inside her house and prepared to make lunch. We decided to make pasta with tomato sauce because Ai can't handle spicy food.

After we prepare everything all we need is to wait.

"There is still time until it's done what do you guys want to do in the meantime?" Shishiro asked.

We sat down in the living room together.

"So Shishi how did you meet Ryuji?" Ai asked.

"It's actually a pretty funny story i met him when i was still in grade school, One day when i was walking home i saw a little kitty stuck on top of a tree so i tried to save it then i got stuck, I cried then after a while Ryuji came and helped me down after that we became friends" She explained.

"Pfft hahaha that's one way to meet someone" Ai laughed.

Shishiro looks embarrassed. "Ryuji is a really nice person. You can trust him with anything he is smart too" Shishiro said.

"He has a really nice voice too" I said.

"I heard you and Ryuji made a song together" Ai said.

"He really helped me out a lot in making this song so now we are working on the lyrics so he can sing" She replied.

"Ooooh can i hear it?" Asked Ai.

"Sure i would love for you guys to hear it come with me" Shishiro took us into her room where the piano is standing in the middle of the room which makes the room looks like a true musicians studio.

"Woow never been into your room before its so pretty" Said Ai as she look around the room.

"It's not that pretty hehe i just try to keep it clean that's all i kept it as simple and tidy as possible" She replied.

Shishiro sat down on her piano and ready her hand on the keys ready to play.

"Alright ready guys?" She asked.

"Yep!" We replied without hesitations.

Shishiro begins playing her music. Her expression and her movements are so smooth and expressive you can even feel the amount of emotion that is told through the sound of the music. I felt like I was about to cry.

I can see tears running down Ai's eyes as she listens to Shishiro playing her masterpiece.

Finally Shishiro hits the final keys ending the song, We couldn't help but to give her an applause for the beautiful performance.

"I'm glad you guys liked it i put all my effort into it" She bowed down.

"I can't wait to hear you play with Ryuji. It's going to be great!" I said.

We spend a few minutes talking to each other and also read the book we bought together and share it with each other while exchanging thoughts.

Not long after that the three of us started feeling anxious "I feel like we are forgetting something" I said.

"Yeah me too" Ai said.

"Same, I wonder what it is" Shishiro also said.

The three of us took our time to think and then it hit us "THE PASTA!!!"

We rushed downstairs and immediately took the pasta out and put it on a plate.

We all let out a sigh of relief. The pasta is okay, it's not burned just a little soggy but the taste is still good.

We sat at the dining table and enjoy our almost ruined meal together
