An Ardent Attachment (Chifuyu Matsuno X OC)

An Ardent Attachment|| Chapter 3 Sneaking In

"We're here." Hiro announced to his sister that was still mezmorized by the star filled night sky. "Hm? Ah- alright." She looks at him and nodded, looking down at her feet and getting out of the vehicle; making sure that the groceries don't fall off and spill all over the ground.

Hiro sighed, looking down to fix his gang uniform's sleeve. "Oh- and by the way, we should keep quiet." He turned his head to look at his sister behind him, who was taking care of the groceries and making sure it all doesn't spill on the ground before she would lift them off the motorcycle. "We don't want to get a certain someone's attention."

Hana, with the grocery bags now clutched on her hands and her school bag hanging off her shoulders, turns around to look at her brother with both eyebrows raised. "Huh? Oh- right." She nodded. "Sure, since half of this was your fault that we're in this mess in the first place." She complained, glaring at his back and walking towards his direction.

Hiro raised a brow at his brown and mint haired sister, then glared at her walking figure. "Why is this my fault? I didn't get to decide if there's a meeting or not." He complained, annoyed and a little confused.

"Well first off, you could've told me in advance about that meeting, then Mira Onee-san wouldn't be coming for our heads." Hana glared in front of her, raising one brow up. "I know for a fact that they announce meetings a few days in advance." She said, glancing at her much taller, pink haired brother from the corner of her eye.

"And you were about to walk off with your gang members to eat out, forgetting of the fact that we usually go home together as well- but thankfully, I stopped you just in time before you could go with them. We would really be dead if you did that." She glared at him, still glancing at him from the corner of her eye.

"Oh- and don't forget about the fact that we had to get groceries because you apperantly forgot, when we all know that you barely even cared for those groceries and only picked these up so you'll have an excuse to tell Mira Onee-san." She turned around to look at him and give him a sarcastic close eyed smile while lifting the two plastic bags in front of him, before turning around to walk towards the apartment complex all 5 of them resided in.

Hiro didn't move an inch after his sister's little explaination, blinking once and twice at her before pinching the tip of his nose and sighed, closing his eyes. "Oh god- dammnit, Hana." He shook his head and sighed, following just behind his clearly tired and slightly annoyed sister.

Walking towards their apartment's white colored front door, Hana turned her head to look up at her brother who was reaching in to grab ahold of the cold, yellow colored doorknob and mentally preparing themselves for what was about to happen.

Slowly twisting the knob, Hiro pushed the door and tried to be as quiet as he possibly can. He pokes his head in and looked around to see if they were safe from what they thought was a potential danger to their lives, of which was not a something but, someone. Or to be specific, someone they knew very well.

Thinking that the coast was clear, Hiro pushed the door open wide enough for Hana to come inside as well.

Hana took a few steps besides him and looked left and right as well, placing a hand on a doorframe. "Are you sure she's not here?" She asked him, taking a glance at him from the corner of her eye.

"Looks like it. But don't make too much noise though. We don't want to get caught." He warned her, giving her a glance from the corner of his eye as well before taking one step inside their apartment.

The place was average when it came to the space, just enough to fit all 5 of them. With a few steps in, the first room you'll see is their living room. Which consisted of 2 long grey couches, a coffee table of the same color that sat right in front of the said couches, a flat screen TV that sat on top of another table in front of the coffee table and was a few inches away from a large brick wall were a chimney was supposed to be but- was now unused.

The room was dimnley lit by the yellow hues from the fairy lights that decorated the yellow colored walls. After seeing what was inside of the room, the two sighed in relief.

The trouble was yet to appear to them, and they'd rather not know whether she'll come out or not.

Next room that they were about to enter, was the kitchen. Of which is full of greenery and plotted plants, courtesy of Hana's other older brother- with which she still questions where his obsession with plants suddenly came from.

The room was dark from the ceiling lights being turned off, excluding the slight rays of the room that came from the windows that were found just besides their large fridge and some parts from the left side of the kitchen, and the sliding glass door, that led to the large backyard that lead to a small acre of trees, that was covered by a thin, cream colored curtain.

With one hand cautiously holding the wall, Hiro poked his head in the room and looked around it; despite how hard it'll be to see almost anything except the dimly lit parts. "Looks like we're clear.." He spoke up after the thick silence they covered themselves in.

Hana didn't say a word back, only giving him a small nod from behind him (completely knowing the fact that he wouldn't see either anyway) and walked in the room after him; the two grocery bags clutched in her hands.

Hiro's hands reached for the light switch and with a soft 'click' coming from it, the lights were now on. Revealing the cream colored walls and potted plants with some a little overgrown leaves, flowers and vines.

"Put those on the counter, we'll arrange them real quick before she comes in- well, hopefully she doesn't." Hiro said to Hana while walking towards the kitchen island, where an overgrown vine (from one of the pots that were placed on top of them) hung loosely and was a few inches into reaching the island.

Hana hastily walked as quietly as she can towards the kitchen island where Hiro stood just beside it. Grunting, she placed both of the plastic bags on top of the counters and huffed. "Haah.. Finally. Now, let's hurry up-"

"Where were you two, and why did you just arrive?" The familiar, stern voice of a female cuts them both off. Their hearts dropping to their stomachs at the realization that they got caught, despite trying their best to be as quiet as possible.

"Answer" She called out again, making the two flinch from their spot.

Hana looked away from her brother; Wincing and slouching on her place, hoping that she would just disappear then and there. Opening her mouth, she let out a nervous sigh and cursed under her breath before letting out the only thing that was on her mind-

"Oh no-"
