22 || Spooky season! 👻

--------------------------------------------------------------

Tsukasa's POV,  Dialogue.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Onii-chan!" 

It's so early... I shouldn't be up right now. What does Saki want this time?

I opened my eyes to see my lovely sister, jumping up and down in excitement, right next to my bed. She seemed to be holding a blue-capped bottle of some sort.

"Onii-chan, wake up!!! There's something we need to do!"

I groaned. "Not now, Saki..." I grabbed a second pillow laying next to me and covered my face with it.

She then resulted to pulling down my covers.

"C'mon you lazy bug, get u-" she paused.

"Ya~ Tsukasa-kun, it's getting cold.." A voice from under the sheets blurted out. Saki's face lit up in embarrassment.

"Rui... please get up.." I started shaking my legs, trying to get him to loosen his grip. I sat up and shook him violently. Saki just stood there like wtf.

Saki looked at me in extreme confusion as to what's going on. "Is this... how you wake up every morning?" 

I got a bit flustered and shook my head. She started to giggle.

Rui finally gave in, and let go of my legs. He turned his head to look at Saki.

"Wha- Oh hello there. I didn't notice you here, haha..." He still looked tired. "What's the time?"

"It's 6am!" Saki cheered. "I have something really fun for us to do this spooky season!"

Rui looked surprised. "Spooky... season?"

"Have you really never celebrated Halloween before?!" Saki gasped. "Tsk tsk tsk, what a shame. I guess me and my brother will have to show you what Halloween is all about!" She then grabbed Rui by the wrist and dragged him outside.

"Wait- Tsukasa-kun!!! Save me..." His voice began to fade away as the two of them disappeared into the dark corridors.

Hah, these two will surely get along perfectly fine. They will though... right?

"Nene-chan!! Pass the salt!!" Emu yelled from across the kitchen. The lovely aroma of a well-cooked breakfast steamed the kitchen and filled the air with bliss. It smelled delicious.

Nene looked disgusted. "Why do you need salt..." 

"What's so disgusting about salt? I just wanted to say the phrase." Emu questioned.

"I dunno." Nene shrugged. She then grabbed an empty salt shaker and passed it to Emu. "Here you go."

"But that's empty!! Hey- where are you running off to now??!" Emu threw the salt shaker onto the ground and began chasing Nene across the dining hall. Toya, trying to carry a few pots and pans across from the cupboard, had to dodge the two young ladies running around like little girls at a kid's party.

Akito walked into the room. "Hey Toya, need help with anything?"

"O-Oh uhm... thanks for the offer sir- I mean Akito... but I can handle all this myself." Toya's smile faded as Emu was approaching him at rapid speed.

"Oh no! Toya watch out!!!" Emu screamed as she crashed into Toya, leaving a mess of plates, broken glass, and pots and pans flying in all directions.

Miraculously, Akito managed to catch a few and stacked them on each hand.

"You two should be more careful, running around in a kitchen where there are pretty boys like Toya trying to complete his duties." Akito chuckled.

"W-we're sorry!! It won't happen again!" Nene bowed towards Akito.

Akito stood there in confusion. "Oh- you're bowing down to me? Haha, no need. Consider me as a mere friend, that's all." He took Nene's hand and kissed it.

"Hm, what a gentleman." Toya scoffed.

"What did you say?" Akito smirked. Toya quickly turned his head away.

Footsteps echoed the hallways outside the dining hall and kitchen. Akito's expression rapidly changed as he turned to face the window. 

Saki and Rui then burst in through the doors. "Hello hello everybody! And good morning!" 

"What's going on? Why is everybody up so early?..." Rui asked. The others burst into laughter.

Emu snickered. "It's Halloween silly! We need to prepare you a costume!"

Rui looked shocked. "A... what?!"
