My Brother's Best Friend | Makoto Sunakawa x Reader |

Chapter One - Meeting Her

We might have been born out of the same womb. But when it came to looks and personality, we were nothing alike.

My brother, Takeo Gouda, was strong and manly, almost like a gorilla, just like our mom. He was also as caring and sweet as our dad.

So, I often wonder how we're related. We might have been twins, but that doesn't prove anything. At least not to me.

My dad likes to tell me how sweet and kind I am, but that's just an act to fit in.

My mom always tells me how such beauty and grace was born out of her stomach, that sometimes she thinks the nurse got the babies mixed up during birth.

So, she basically thinks I'm not her kid, but someone else's that got switched at birth. Great.

Anyway, problems aside, I'm a decently normal 1st year high school student, though I may or may not have a fan club dedicated to me. I think of myself as a normal high school student.

However, others think not. I hang out with this human like bear, who's my brother, and the popular guy at school, who's a childhood friend of Takeo. They always wonder how we know each other.

I wondered that too. At first glance, I wouldn't think of myself as Takeo's sister, but more of the girl that somehow ended up hanging out with the gorilla-looking guy from school.

And as for Sunakawa, well, I guess because he was my twin brother's best friend, I kind of became friends with him as well. Nonetheless, I've always been formal with him, even though we've known each other for over a decade.

My brother and I were close, but I guess being close doesn't mean you know the other person as well as you think.

I could read him like a book; his expressions were easy to read, and his mind was simple.

In contrast to me, I was hard to decipher, and the things you could tell, were fake, as I put up a front to act more natural to those close to me.

But my brother didn't know that; he was too dense to figure it out. Nevertheless, I love him so.

Thus, when he told me he had a girlfriend, I was surprised, or more like shocked.

As much as I love my brother, I was confused about who would date someone like him. All I could think of was, had somebody dared them to go out with him? Were they trying to make a fool out of Takeo?

If so, I wouldn't let that happen. I was especially protective of my brother over girls, as they would badmouth him, even in front of me, his sister.

While I was thinking this out, my mind wandered to how she looked.

Was she older? Was she tall? Is she one of those girls, or the ones that are actually nice?

I hoped this wasn't some trick to make Takeo sad. I wanted Takeo to meet someone he liked and have them like him back.

"So, what's her name?" I asked while we waited for her by the park fountain.

"Her name's Rinko Yamato. She's very sweet!" He exclaimed loudly, grinning at me.

"Do you think she'll like me?"

"Of course, she'll like you!" He said, giving me the thumbs up. "Why wouldn't she? You're me but the girl version."

"Yeah, no." I flatly denied it.

I rejected the thought. I was nothing like Takeo. I will never be like Takeo. And that's what I was scared of. On the chance that this girl might be the real deal, I have to put up an image that'll make her think I'm the twin sister of Takeo, and not some girl that shares the same blood as him but looks nothing alike.
