"Taka, are you waiting for your brother?"

"No!"

"Then what are you doing..outside at the baseball field?" she asked, picking him up while he tried to get back down but she kept a good grip on him. "I just wanted to go outside!" he pouted, looking the other way as he kept sneaking glances at his older brother.

"Well you should've asked me or Kashima to come with you, i'm sure he wouldn't mind and I didn't either." she smiled, watching her cross his arms. "Do you want go back inside?"

"No!" he said. "Okay, then we'll watch from right here okay?" she walked towards the fence, still holding him in her arms before she set him down, crouching as she was at his eye level. She saw his eyes lit up, almost having stars in them, making her smile.

She looked over to the field, her eyes watching him get into position as he swung the bat. Taka glanced over to her then to his brother as his eyes widened. "Do you like him?!"

"Huh?! No! I don't even know him well to like him." her eyes widened, looking away to look at Taka. "He just looks cool." she said, a soft smile plastered onto her face as Taka's eyes widened. "He is!" he said, making her laugh.

"Now let's get going okay? We wouldn't want to bother him, he's in practice right now." she picked him back up, feeling him nod as he laid his head on her shoulder. "I want to see more!" he said, yawning afterwards.

"You're tired and it's almost nap time. We'll go see him after you wake up."

"Promise!"

"Promise." she said, entering the building, walking down the hall as she heard light snores. She opened the club door, her eyes set on the toddlers who were already sleeping along with Usaida sleeping next to them.

She placed Taka down on his futon, covering him up with his blanket even if he was going to take it off in his sleep. She grabbed a pillow, laying down next to him as she closed her eyes.

"Only for a few minutes.."

———

"Y/n? I haven't seen her in class yet, I saw her earlier, do you think she got called to leave early?" Kashima questioned, looking over to Kamitani who opened the club's door. "She's sleeping."

"Shh don't wake her up!" Taka loudly whispered, looking at his older brother. "She was here this whole time?!" Kashima said, the worry in him leaving as he walked over to her. "Y/n, school is over! You slept through the rest of the day." he tried waking her up but she wouldn't budge.

"It's been like that for an hour, she's a heavy sleeper." Usaida said, holding Midori in his arms as Kirin walked over to Y/n. "She's been working really hard but don't tell anyone! She told me to not say a word!"

"Kirin.."

"You said she's been working?" Kashima said, looking over to Y/n as Kamitani left the room, Taka frowning. "Mhm! She said she wants to help her dad out so she started working so don't wake her up!" Kirin walked in front of Y/n, "protecting" her.

"Hey you can't have her all to yourself!" Taka said, walking over to Kirin until he felt a smack against his hand, tears pooling his eyes as he bursted out crying, running over to Kashima. "You meany!" he pointed over to Kamitani who was holding Y/n's bags.

"Let's go home." he picked her up, putting her on his back. "Mom is waiting for us in the car, if you don't come you're not eating dinner." Hayato leff the room while Taka quickly said his goodbye's running after his older brother as they heard Taka calling Hayato names in the hallway.

"Did he just take her away..?" Kashima mumbled, looking over to Usaida. "It happens more than you think." Usaida said, standing up as he looked out into the hallway. "More than I think? He's done it before?"

"Yep, they live next to each other so they grew up together, that's why Taka is always with her."

"Does Kamitani like her?"

"Who knows?"
