Chapter 3. Daily Days
A/N: So, I was going to make this chapter longer, but I just ran out of ideas so I just decided to upload this, enjoy I guess.
We were on our way to the station to get to Akihabara, and on the meantime my sister kept insisting about one of the girls being my girlfriend.
"One of them has to be your girlfriend" Naomi kept saying
"Are you seriously going to keep that up?" I told her almost yelling at her
"Yeah, because I know one of them is your girlfriend"
"I'm done… change the conversation girls…"
"Umm, I don't really know what to talk about" Kotori said
"I know" Honoka said suddenly "Naomi"
"What is it?"
"You have a boyfriend don't you?"
"What!?" Naomi started to blush from the question
'Oh, payback, I get it haha' I said to myself
"You heard me"
"N-No I don't!" Naomi yelled while blushing madly
"See how it feels now"
"Yeah, I guess, sorry"
"It's ok Naomi" Kotori said to Naomi
"Yeah don't worry about it, we forgive you" Umi said accepting Naomi's apology as well
"Hey, here's the station" I said to the others
"Oh yeah come on, let's get to Akihabara!" Honoka said with her cheerful self
So the afternoon went by pretty fast and it was now evening, we were on our way to our own houses.
"Pretty fun day we had" Said Kotori
"Yeah" I agreed with Kotori
"We should go everyday afterschool" Said Honoka with a smile
"Don't exaggerate, if we do that it will get boring" Umi Said
"I guess you're right"
"Well, we take this route, so, see you girls tomorrow" Shiro Said immediately walking away with Naomi
"Wait!" Someone yelled, it was Honoka "I take this route too"
"Really? I thought you lived near Kotori and Umi"
"We don't live so close from each other, but yeah, my house is this way, so, let's go"
"Alright, let's go Naomi"
"Ok"
After a few minutes Honoka stopped right in front of the Japanese sweets shop that was really close to our house
"Mmm? What is it Honoka, you want some sweets?" I asked her
"I actually live here" she answered
"Wait, really? Then we live really close to you" Naomi said
"Huh? Where do you live?" Honoka asked
"Right over there, just 3 houses away from yours" I told her pointing towards my house
"Wow, then we can go to school together everyday" Honoka Said cheerfully
"Guess so"
"You don't seem too happy that you'll see me daily"
"Are you saying you'll be visiting in weekend or what?"
"Maaaybe" She said with smile
"Big bro, I'm hungry" I heard Naomi
"Wait what? You just ate in Akihabara"
"But I'm still hungry"
"Ugh fine, well we gotta go Honoka, see you tomorrow"
"Yeah, see you"
After we said our goodbyes to Honoka we went home and I made some dinner since Naomi was hungry, after that we went to bed.
"Goodnight big bro"
"Goodnight Naomi"
I was in my room already in bed when I got a message from Honoka (we exchanged contacts in Akihabara)
Honoka: I'll go to your house in the morning so we can go together, be ready :)
"You have to be kidding" I said chuckling and I replied her
Shiro: Fine, I'll be ready, but I go with Naomi to her school, don't know if you'll mind.
I got a reply after a few minutes
Honoka: Don't worry, I don't mind.
And with that I just went to sleep.
The next morning, I was ready for school, I just had to wait for Naomi
"Naomi, are you ready?" I asked her
"Give me 5 minutes" She replied
Then I heard the doorbell, right away I went to open the door, and right as I expected Honoka was right there.
"Are you ready Shiro?" Honoka asked me
"Yeah, just waiting for Naomi, come in Honoka"
"Your parents won't mind?" She asked
"..."
"Shiro?"
"No... they won't, don't worry..."
The moment she asked that, I slightly felt pain, I don't want to tell Honoka everything I've been through, at least not yet.
We went to the living room and sat in the couch while we were waiting for Naomi
"So... are your parents out right now?" She asked
"Yeah…" 'Please, stop talking about that…'
"I'm ready!" I heard Naomi "Huh? What are you doing here Honoka?
"I'm going with the two of you since we take the same route"
"Oh really?! That's really great, I'll be able to see you daily!" She said really happy
"You like me that much?"
"Yep, you're really funny and beautiful, I wish you were my brother's girlfriend" Honoka immediately blushed
"Naomi…stop it…" I told her
"Fine fine, sorry" She apologized
"Don't worry about it" Honoka told her "So, shall we go?"
"Yeah, let's go"
After a while we left Naomi in her school, said our goodbyes and went to our own school. Right in the gate were Umi and Kotori waiting for Honoka, they got surprised when they saw the two of us together.
"Huh? Honoka, you came with Shiro?" Asked Kotori
"Yeah, you would be surprised by how close we live from each other"
"How close exactly?" Asked Umi
"3 houses away from mine" Honoka answered
"What?! That close?!" Umi yelled out of nowhere
"Is there a problem?" Honoka asked
"N-Not at all, sorry for bursting like that" Umi apologized
"We should go to class or we're gonna be late" I told them
"Y-Yeah let's go"
So lunchtime came really fast in my opinion, and Honoka invited me to eat with them again, I agreed this time and I told them that the roof was a really good place to eat lunch since there was no one there and the view was great.
"Here we are" I said right as we got to the roof
"You were right, no one comes here" Honoka said
"But are you sure we can be here?" Umi asked a little worried
"Don't worry, I made sure to ask first if we could come here" I told her
"Oh ok"
"Well let's eat" Kotori said joining the conversation
"All right"
"Hey Shiro, you never told me, where are your parents in the mornings, working?" Honoka asked me
"…Yeah, they're working, but they go really early so we don't see them off" I lied
"Oh, what is their work?"
"Not saying anything"
"What? Why?"
"Because I don't want to"
"But why?"
"Already told you why"
"Oh come on, you can tell me"
"Please stop insisting, I won't tell you" 'Stop it Honoka' I started to get a little angry but I don't want to say anything
"Fine, but I'll make you tell me one day"
"Yeah, we'll see"
"Hey Shiro, you go with your sister to her school right?" Kotori asked
"Yeah, why?"
"Why can't she go alone? I mean, she's already in middle school and on her last year"
"Well… last time, she went alone, the moment I was out of school, I found her sitting on a chair of a restaurant that's near her school, I asked her why she was there and not waiting for me in the school and she said that she never went to school because she got lost"
"Really? How did she got lost if the restaurant was really near her school?"
"She gets lost really easy if someone's not with her, even if the place is right in front of her" I said while I laughed a bit
"Well, it seems she's kind of clumsy" Umi said
"Yep she is"
After a few minutes we finished eating and the bell started to ring, we went to class right away.
So I felt time go really slow this time and after what I felt like hours school finished.
I picked up my sister from school and we said our goodbyes to Kotori and Umi where we split up, of course Honoka came with us, after a while we got her house and as she went inside me and Naomi went to our house.
And that was the daily routine, days went by and I felt like this was how my life was going to be from now on, I'm glad I met the girls, because of them, my life has been relaxing, pacific and really funny. I slept with a smile in my face waiting for the morning so that I could go to school and be with the girls talking and laughing but I can't shake the feeling that something really interesting will happen and it won't be something really good.
