Sae knocked on her door, hearing nothing before he opened it.

He found his younger sister asleep, still in her school uniform with her hair covering her face. Her soft snores filling her room. Sae quietly closed the door before he knocked on Rin's, opening it once his brother responded. Rin glanced over his shoulder as he was at his desk doing homework. Their parents had just left the night prior to go on a business trip, leaving their children alone. "Yeah Sae?"

"Mm didn't know she could do that."

"She..She said she learned while we were gone."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah.."

Rin scratched his cheek. Silence fulfilling the two. "Is she sleeping?" the younger asked, spinning in his chair. "Snoring actually. I can't believe she actually punched the girl." Sae dropped himself on Rin's bed, staring up at the stars on his ceiling. "I can't believe Reo just gave her his card.." Rin was still in disbelief after witnessing the scene.

"She really did that."

"Yeah..she really did."

The two brothers stared at each other. At that moment, the two realized how far apart they were from Seiren. How the times they were gone during the summer to go to training camps out of the country, she was really here alone. Seiren grew distant with them, pushing herself away from the Itoshi name because she felt like she didn't match up or withheld the talent they carried.

Rin poked his head in her room, the girl turning in her sleep, still snoring. He wanted to laugh.

Isagi plopped his phone right beside him, turning to lie on his stomach as he huffed out a breath. His eyes slowly closing while a picture of her face lingered in his mind before he drifted off to sleep.

———

Seiren woke up groggy. She slept wrong, her arm was practically loosing circulation and her back ached. Though her body felt weird. The seventeen year old sat up straight, a blank expression on her face as Rin popped up in her room, going to wake her up. "Oh you're up." he says. "Rin. I'm about to throw up." Seiren mumbles before she rushed over to the bathroom, pushing her brother into the hallway.

"Uhm.. okay? Sae! She's throwing up!"

Rin stood at the end of the hallway expressionless while Sae poked his head out of his room, Rin pointing at Seiren while she hovered herself over the toilet. "Ew. Don't tell me that." Sae rolls his eyes. "Just drink some medicine or something." he then went back in his room to get dressed. "Uh Sae..I think she's sick.." Rin innocently mumbled, rushing to the kitchen to get medicine.

Seiren rolled her eyes at her brother, flushing the toilet before she rinsed her mouth. "Idiot..it's just my period.." she whispered, closing the bathroom door. Rin came back, knocking with his knee as he carried a few medicines that seemed like they would work. "So uhm..we don't really have medicine for nausea..but you might have a fever! Should you go to the hospital?"

"It's just my period!"

"Oh. That's..unfortunate."

Rin could hear Sae laugh from his room.

After what seemed like more than an hour, Seiren walked out the bathroom to her room. "Do you have everything?" Sae asks, already sitting at the edge of her bed. "Yes. I have everything to keep my blood from staining everything I sit on." she tries to humor herself before she grabbed her uniform from her closet. Guess I'll just have to double layer..

Going to school was a hassle. She claimed. Sae thought she was being a bit dramatic when she gripped his arm as they walked. It hurts. She claimed. Sae glanced over to her, thinking his sister just wanted an excuse to torture her. Rin occasionally stared at her in worry. "You'll get over it. Doesn't it last like a day or two?" he says, Seiren squinting her eyes at him.

"Right. I forgot you guys weren't home all the time to see how I was tortured by my own body." Seiren scoffs, letting him go before she rushed off to her locker as they entered the building. "Is she blaming this on us now?" Sae turned to Rin, pointing at himself. "Just..let her be.." The younger mumbled, walking inside while Sae trailed behind him.

"No seriously. On us?" Sae was in disbelief. Rin rolling his eyes as his brother walked by his side.

"Seiren! Did you get my messages?"

Isagi ran up to her, leaning against the lockers with his books in hand. "Messages? I probably did. I fell asleep when I got home so I just haven't read them yet. Sorry." Seiren said, taking out what she needed for the day. "It's okay! We can discuss it during lunch!" he chuckles. "How's your nose? Feeling better?" Isagi said, pouting his lips as she hummed. "In a way." she shrugged.

"Let's go to class?" Isagi nods his head as Seiren closed her locked. "Let's." she responds, walking beside him. "So..did you guys go to karaoke?" she asked, curious as to if they did. "They did. I went home. I wanted to at least do some of the project." Isagi sighed. "You didn't go?" Seiren furrowed her eyebrows, the boy smiling at her.

"It would've been better if you came. Next time right? You'll come?"

Seiren kept her teal eyes on him. "You wanted me to go that badly?" batting her long lashes against each other, unsure if she had heard him correctly. "Yes! It would've been fun!" Isagi gently grabbed her arm. "I know it would've been awkward at first but I promise I wouldn't have left you alone! I would've embarrassed myself if your voice ever cracked!" his laughter fills her ears, only focusing on him.

"You're crazy weird Yoichi."

"In a..good way right?"

"Whatever soothes your brain."

The two stared at each other before sharing a small laugh, one Isagi was sure he's never seen before. Probably one no one except her brothers have seen. He decides to keep quiet about it, enjoying her soft giggles to himself.
