It was their four-month anniversary. Soukoku's four-month anniversary.

And Chuuya was over the moon about it.

He still couldn't believe that the taller male had even asked him out in the first place.

Everything had been going smoothly the last four months, from the cute new guy moving into town, to Chuuya getting into his dream school, to the new guy eventually asking him out.

Every day felt like a dream, and Chuuya couldn't believe that he was successful in his new school environment, and had a boyfriend by his side.

Well, everything had been going smoothly, right up till now...

As Chuuya stood in the middle of his room, 7:10 A.M., 20 minutes till he had to catch his bus, still not changed for school, staring into the abyss of his closet.

He was so trapped in his thoughts that he didn't even hear his sister enter his room, as she tapped him on the shoulder, causing him to let out a particularly high-pitched squeak that he would deny ever releasing.

"Ane-san!" he gasped in surprise, having just been scared half to death. "What are you doing in my room!?"

Kouyou only laughed at her brother's reaction before leaning back to rest on his bed. "What's the issue little bro?" she asked, genuinely.

Chuuya only sighed, not wanting to talk to his sister about his love life, but also sincerely needing help picking out what to wear on his date later that night.

"I have a date tonight and I-" Chuuya began only to be cut off by his sister.

"Ooo a date with Dazai huh?" She stated and smirked teasingly, causing her little brother to blush.

"Yes, a date with Dazai alright! The only issue is, I have nothing to wear!" He pouted exaggeratedly, gesturing toward his closet full of clothing.

"Alright, alright, I'll help you," Kouyou said, as she hopped off her brother's bed, and began rummaging through his closet.

"You will?" Chuuya asked, eyes hopeful.

Kouyou emerged from Chuuya's closet, arms full of opportunity, dropping the clothing on her brother's bed before walking over to him, squishing his cheeks playfully.

"Of course, anything for my little brother." She says, causing him to blush and swat her hand away in embarrassment.

"You're not even that much older than me Ane-san!" He protested.

She only chuckled as she began to search through the pile of clothing on her brother's bed.

"Here, white button-up, tan vest, skinny jeans, your leather jacket, choker, and of course your insufferable hat." She lists off the contents of his outfit, her gaze never once wavering. "If Dazai ever decides to enlighten you about the contents of your date, you could always switch the button up for your white sweater."

Chuuya stood, mouth agape, in awe of his older sister.

"How did you do that!?" He asked in amazement.

"Do what?" Kouyou questioned, cocking an eyebrow in his direction.

"You turned the nothingness of my closet into a super hot outfit!" His eyes practically sparkled, astonished by the works of his sibling.

"Sometimes you just gotta open your eyes and look," She winked at him, "Maybe one day you'll inherit that trait."

Chuuya glared at her, causing her to snicker, "Don't you have a bus to catch in uh-" She glanced at her watch. "15 minutes?" She asked, pointing to her wristwatch.

Chuuya's eyes lit up as he was brought back to reality.

"You're right Ane-san! Get out, get out so I can get ready!" He practically shoved her out the door.

On the other side of the door, Kouyou heard shuffling of clothing as Chuuya got out his outfit for school, she walked down the hallway, and toward the front door.

"Thank you, Kouyou!" She heard suddenly as she was engulfed by her little brother from behind before he quickly rushed back into his room.

She only laughed lightly, letting out a quiet, "You're welcome," before heading out for work herself.
