[Naomi's Pov]

"You shouldn't wake her up."

"I'm not."

"Then stop staring at her."

I stirred slightly at the sound of whispering, feeling movement nearby. A sudden gasp made me furrow my brows as I slowly opened my eyes.

My vision was blurry due to the morning light, but as it adjusted, I found myself face-to-face with Mikey, who was grinning at me like a maniac.

"Good morning, Nao-chin! Did you sleep well?" he asked, blinking at me. I blinked back. His smile remained unwavering.

"Am I dreaming right now?" I mumbled, still groggy.

"Nope."

"Oh..." I processed his words for a second before my brain finally caught up. "AHHHHHH!"

I screamed and scrambled backward, only to tumble off the bed with a loud thud.

"Omi-chan!"

"Told you we should've just waited downstairs."

"I didn't mean to scare her!"

I groaned, rubbing my sore back as I sat up. "What's going on?" came my brother's voice. I looked up to see him standing at the door, holding a carton of milk, his expression one of pure confusion.

"Nao?" he called, placing the milk on the nightstand.

"Bloody hell..." I muttered, only to freeze as realization struck me.

"Are you okay, Nao-chin?" Mikey crouched beside me, concern in his eyes.

I slowly turned my head to him and shrieked, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

'No way! This has to be a dream! But why the hell am I dreaming about him?! Oh hell no! I am NOT falling for this idiot!'

"Calm down, Nao. And no, you're not dreaming," my brother said, noting the horror on my face.

I let out a sigh of relief and flopped onto my brother's bed. "What was that for?"

"Why are you here so early?" I asked, blatantly ignoring Mikey as I looked at Draken and Takemichi instead.

"Mikey said he wanted to see you," Draken replied with a shrug. Mikey grumbled under his breath at being ignored.

"Drink your milk and get up," Haruchiyo said as he walked out of his room.

"He's acting like a mom," Takemichi laughed.

"He even looks the part with that pink apron," Draken added, making all of us burst into laughter.

I downed my milk and got off the bed, stretching. "I'm going to get ready. Wait for me downstairs."

"Where are you going?" Mikey asked, trailing after me.

"To my room."

"Isn't that your room?"

"Eh? No, that's Haru-nii’s room."

—

"Stop sulking, Mikey. It's normal for siblings to share a bed," Draken sighed.

"Then what about me?! I want to sleep with Nao-chan too!" Mikey whined.

Silence.

My spoon clattered onto my plate, Takemichi choked on his food, and my brother and Draken erupted into laughter.

I sighed, handing Takemichi some water before glaring at the two idiots across from me. They immediately shut their mouths. "You can sleep over next time, Mikey-kun," I said nonchalantly, continuing my breakfast.

"That's a great idea! What do you think, boss?" My brother grinned at Mikey.

I raised an eyebrow at him. 'If I didn't know better, I’d think he had a crush on him or something,' I thought, laughing internally. 'Well, whatever works for him.' I smirked and went back to eating.

"What do you think, Nao?" Draken asked, and I looked up to find all of them staring at me expectantly.

I blinked. 'Wait… what were they even talking about again?'

"Yeah, sure." I answered, not really thinking about it.

"Great then!" Mikey beamed.

My phone rang, saving me from whatever I had just agreed to. I glanced at the caller ID.

"Who is it?" my brother asked, eyeing my phone suspiciously.

"A classmate," I said, standing up. "Excuse me for a bit."

I walked outside and answered the call. "Took you long enough," the voice on the other end grumbled.

"Sorry, I was eating. Do you need something?"

"Not really. Are you free right now?"

I glanced through the window and spotted Mikey stuffing his face with dorayaki. 'Seriously, where does he put all that food?'

"No, I’m hanging out with my friends today. Why?"

"Oh, well. I was going to invite you to hang out, but never mind."

I smirked. "Aww, are you bored, Koko?"

He groaned. "Inupi isn’t here today, so yeah."

I hummed, thinking for a moment. "Well, maybe if I have time later, I'll text you."

"Sounds good to me."

"Alright then. See you later. Bye."

I heard him hum in reply before the call ended.

I took a deep breath, preparing myself to go back inside, knowing full well Mikey was probably planning something stupid already. 'This is going to be a long day…'
