𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄 | SANO SHINICHIRO

5 | 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐑

THE BLACKNESS WAS PERFECT,
a sort of visual silence that gave a revered awe. With eyes closed there was the simple sweetness of existing, of being, of breathing, and how those moments extended with such grace until the dawn chose to bring back the colors.

Shinichiro laid down his bed with confusion laced on his face. He can't keep wondering about the weird encounter he had earlier.

....𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚛...

Shinichiro mentally scolded himself from blurting out what comes in his mind. But when he looked back at her his eyes only widened even more.

She was looking straight into his obsidian eyes not realizing the tears that poured our of her eyes. Poor Shinichiro got scared that he might have sounded like a pedo. "u-um.... I'm sorry if I might have offended you. It wasn't a bad thing! I promise!" he watched her wipe away the tears before offering him a smile. "thank you Shinichiro-kun, don't worry I'm not offended at all." he heard her voice that was slightly raspy because she just woken up. "how do you know my name?"

He watched as the girl named Y/n flinched at the question before regaining her composure. "well, you're the boy who sits right beside me right? We both have the same math class." his mouth formed an 'o' before handing her the bag that have been forgotten.

He had the urge to ask her if they both have met before, or fo they even have a connection, because on every time he meets her eyes, there's something inside him that screams familiarity.

Ruffling his hair, he lit up a cigarette before leaning on the tailing of his window. "just why do I feel like I know her somewhere." he mumbled to himself before feeling a slap from his back. "Shinichiro, dinner's ready." Manjiro stared at his brother with his usual unamused face before rolling his eyes. "come down before gramps scold us." rubbing the spot with a defeated look.

The two made their way towards the dining table in which Emma was putting on some table cloth. "look who's here, it's unusual for you to come here late." Shinichiro rubbed his forehead before releasing a sigh. Why? Just why does he can't take his mind off of the girl he barely even know? How can she make his heart race like he'd ran a marathon?

The two younger Sano stared at their brother with a wierded out look. "what's up with that guy?" Emma whispered towards Mikey who was devouring her food, not really interested on what's happening on his coward of a brother.

Shinichiro once again sighed before banging his head on the table. "that's it. I give up." Emma watched her brother pick up the chopsticks before digging into his own food. "what's up Shinichiro? Are you alright?" Emma worriedly asked her brother who didn't stopped sighing. "I guess it's a girl thing again." and on cue, Shinichiro looked at Mikey with widened eyes. "how the heck did you know?" the said boy shrugged before thanking for the food.

"so it's like that? I guess we can't do anything about it." with baffled expression, Shinichiro pointed at Mikey with an offended look before looking at Emma for some kind of comfort, but he was met by a cold shoulder. One of us, that's what they are, that is family, that is for life, that is our forever, that is our promise. Welcome to ride or die. It may seemed like a toxic relationship but it's just the way the Sano siblings share their own love. "how many times did you got rejected anyways?"

The older Sano rubbed his chin putting on a thinking look. "hmmm~let's see, I can't remember."

"he's been rejected 40 times"

"it's 20 times you brat!" Shinichiro completely abandoned his persona snapping at his brother who casually siped his tea. Emma sighed before rubbing her forehead tiredly, "that's beside the point!" she exclaimed slamming her hands on the table. It was frustrating, truly frustrating. The two obviously flinched before muttering a chorused 'sorry', they botu know better than to have a mad Emma to deal with.

Shinichiro huffed before glaring at Mikey who cassualy just enjoying the brewed tea. "you're acting like you already have a girl that will stay with you." and that remark only made the blonde smirk. "well I do have one in fact." he replied smugly before giving his brother a smug grin. Emma stared at her petrified brother who had his jaw dropped literally on the ground. "Emma? Is he telling the truth?" he was silently wishing that it was all a hoax and that his younger brother didn't get a girl earlier than he could. But that sole hopeless wish crumbled beneath his heels when Emma answered with all honesty.

"he got games"

........

"what the hell happened to him?" Akashi stared at Shinichiro who had been muttering useless nonsense since he got into the hide out. An irk mark was prominent on his temple before clenching the screws hard. "it's probably over something as small as a spilled milk." Arashi shrugged before heating a pained 'ow' from Shinichiro who accidentally touched the hot motorcycle engine.

He was clearly distracted, but the captains didn't know what it is all about. Heck the last time he was upset was because his pizza got some pineapple on top! That just explained how easy he can be swayed.

The heavy metal door opened revealing a blonde man who had his hands tucked inside his pockets. "I'm here." Wakasa threw the wrapper somewhere before popping the strawberry flavored lollipop inside his mouth. First he checked your message that you arrived home safely before looking at the sight of their captain. Raising a brow Wakasa thew a look on the two who was there first, "what up with boss?" Shinichiro stood up before grabbing the unsuspecting male by the shoulder.

He had enough! Is he really that awkward around girls that even his younger brother could get a girl earlier than him? "Waka, I need you to tell me the truth." his firm grip didn't waver, while on the other side, the other captains were trying hard to hold their laughter. "am I that bad with girls?" Wakasa deadpaned at his serious face before saying his honest opinion.

"you really should change your hair style. It looks stupid."
