Big Brother's Steps: {Bigguburazā no suteppu}

Chapter 17

Roughly Three Months Later---

Yuki and Hibiki were walking back from school.

"School opened after so long." Yuki chuckled. "luckily we studied enough to be on track."

"Have you seen the amount of damage?" Hibiki pointed out. "It took them so long to fix up all the classrooms, maybe they should've made them smaller and less complex." Yuki nodded as they heard someone calling them.

"Guys!" a voice called from behind.

"Ah, the boys are here." Hibiki smiled. "hey!"

"Why're you still in your gym clothes?" Yuki asked.

"Uh, the bathroom was full and there was no space in the locker room for us to change, so we're heading back to our homes to change." Hiroto replied.

"Fun fact, you guys reek." Hibiki covered her nose.

"We're aware." they all sighed, stepping away from the girls.

"We'll head back home, stay safe." Kiyoshi chuckled.

"Alright." Yuki waved her hand, they stopped on the walkway to see a group of warriors walking towards the training grounds.

"My mom said there might be another mission tomorrow." Hibiki told Yuki.

"Hina's only got three more months till her due date." Yuki sighed. "I hope big brother isn't going for more than two months."

"I dunno about this mission." Hibiki shook her head. "Maybe Akira needs to sit this one out."

"Probably." Yuki shrugged, she looked to her side to see Akira and Haru walking across the walkway, and before Yuki could go to him, a bunch of girls ran towards him.

"Akira! Our hero! Please accept these sweets!" one exclaimed.

"Can I take you out?" another added, Akira gave them a blank face. Yuki felt so pissed off, she ran towards them and pushed them out of the way.

"Listen here you single idiots! This is my brother! Get your fake asses out of here!" Yuki shouted, Hibiki was holding in her laughter.

"Who are you to decide his fate? Let him choose." one girl snorted, pushing Yuki out of the way. Akira then widened his eyes and glared at the girl.

"Why did you do that to my sister?" Akira asked them furiously. "Please get away from me, I'm taken as well as expecting to be a father, I don't think the crowd around me will get any of my attention, understand?" The girls made heartbroken faces and stormed off. Hibiki was snickering and then she started laughing so hard.

"Yuki!" Hibiki laughed. "those--that--" she kept laughing and she couldn't talk.

"Spill it already." Yuki muttered, Akira sighed and chuckled.

"Fangirls, and as I recall, these types of girls used to hate me." Akira shook his head. "they're really annoying, trying to take me out."

"What's your usual reaction?" Yuki asked.

"I just ignore them." Akira shrugged casually. "or Haru takes his single ass and tries to get the wolf girls to his attention."

"Huh?! That's not true!" Haru protested, now both Hibiki and Yuki were laughing, and Akira winked at him. "you--"

"You can't really say anything, I honestly thought you and Asahi would be married when I returned." Akira shrugged. "but I'm actually not surprised you're single, you're clingier than Yuki."

"Stop exposing me." Haru mumbled with a sulk.

"You also jumped on me when we reunited the day I came back." Akira added with a smirk.
