shared greed - [ch.54]

"So, tell us more about your girlfriend."  Makoto crossed his arms and leaned into his chair. "Ottosan, I just got back from my date." Kiyoshi sighed, putting his coat on the coat hanger. "C'mon, tell us the details." Yamato rolled his eyes. "Ottosan, you didn't do this when oniisan started dating Inori-chan." Kiyoshi ignored Yamato and kept his gaze on his father.

"Because I know Igarashi-san. I don't know this Nasegawa-san you speak of." Makoto cleared his throat. "You don't have to be so formal, ottosan. Me and Inori are married now. She's a Takeshita, remember?" Yamato butted in and sighed. "'Musume' or 'Inori-chan' would be a better fit." Yamato spoke, sipping his coffee (Note: Musume means 'daughter' in Japanese). "Musume? How absurd," Makoto scoffed. "That's awfully sappy and affectionate. Out of character for me, thank you." Makoto gave a 'hmp', but then Kiyoshi blinked numerous times. "You call imotocchan 'akachan'." Kiyoshi chuckled and smiled, while Yamato raised an eyebrow. "That's very different. I love akachan with all my heart, and Igarashi-san is my in-law. A mere acquaintance." Makoto closed his eyes, and suddenly Yamato and Kiyoshi both looked very defeated. "That is insulting to a lot of people, ottosan." They both mumbled, a dark aura surrounding them.

...

"You better not tell anyone about what I said to you, Aki-chan." Megumi gave a threatening smile as Akito buckled his seatbelt while trembling. "Yes, nee-chan." Akito was surrounded by a dark aura, put off by the fact that Miyamura had impregnated his precious big sister. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT BASTARD DID THIS TO YOU!" Akito broke out of his sanity, his ears fuming. "It's okay, Aki-chan. I'm happy about it." Megumi smiled, keeping her eyes on the road as Akito gave a grunt. "I'm not." Akito mumbled.

...

"We're home!" Megumi yelled, with her and Akito taking off their shoes. "I'm goin' to my room. I won't be able to look your fiancée without strangling him. You should thank me for protecting the love of your life." Akito grunted, swinging his blazer across his shoulder and headed towards the staircase.  "Yes, Aki-chan. But while you're your room, take a nap for me, will you?" Megumi faced Akito and held his head in her hands. "You get grouchy when you're sleepy." Megumi kissed her little brother's forehead, then Akito admired her in his head and walked off.

"Oh, Shinon-sama! Finally, you're back! Well, we're leaving now!" Akenon squealed excitedly as Inori and Yoshikawa followed behind her. "What is going on? Akenon?" Megumi raised an eyebrow as Akenon put her arm in Megumi's. "We're goin' shopping for your wedding dress, silly!" Akenon giggled as Inori and Yoshikawa caught up to the two, all of them standing by the door. "I just want to let you know, Megumi-chan, that I am beyond honoured to be your bridesmaid." Inori said sheepishly as Megumi smiled sweetly. "You don't have to thank me. I should be thanking you for being by my side ever since I was young." Megumi moved closer to Inori, as Inori stared at Megumi in awe with sparkles in her eyes. "Me too! Thanks a ton, Megumi-chan! I've never been a bridesmaid before!" Yoshikawa exclaimed with excitement as Megumi chuckled. "I'm so excited to get your dress!" Akenon yelled, her arms flapping around.

"Uh... Akenon," Megumi didn't put her shoes on as Akenon did. "If I was planning to buy a wedding dress, I would've done it a long time ago," Megumi said gently as Akenon looked at her in confusion. "I'm going to wear my grandmother's wedding dress. I hope this doesn't upset you." Megumi bowed in apology, but Akenon just gazed at her. Megumi winced as she kept her head down, afraid of what Akenon would think.

But then, Akenon just burst into laughs. "Chill out, Shinon-sama! All I want is for you to be happy! You don't need to apologise to me!" Akenon pat Megumi on the back as Megumi stood up straight. "Also, you've been awfully emotional lately. You don't usually feel as much emotions. Is something wrong?" Akenon put a hand on Megumi's shoulder, and Megumi panicked for a second. "Pregnancy symptoms. I can't believe they are showing up already." Megumi thought to herself, then cleared her throat. "No, it's nothing. Although I appreciate the concern." Megumi smiled like everything was normal and then began chatting with Inori and Yoshikawa, who had been trying to strike a conversation with her for a couple minutes. Akenon looked at Megumi in suspicion, rubbing her chin in the process. "Nope. Something is definitely up with Shinon-sama. And I want to find out what." Akenon thought, furrowing her eyebrows and squinting her eyes.
