Love at First Sight

2

You woke up early in the morning. You take the time to do your morning routine, using the new products you've just received from Russia. You get dressed into your Nekoma High uniform, grabbing your school bag and packing all your belongings. You head down the stairs of the large house, dropping your bag by the front door. You head over to the kitchen, preparing to make breakfast for your siblings. This was also the time you got to make bentos for Alisa and Lev, since you usually don't make them at night.

You hum as you cook and prepare the lunches for the day. You pause to look out the kitchen window, wondering if your parents even came home last night. Their jobs keep them busy, constantly having them travel and even work overnight. You rarely hear from them, even though you're the child they contact most. You were the most responsible, and you had a bright future. You could do anything you wanted, and they supported you. Though, you wanted to follow in Alisa's footsteps and become a model. It was easy, and you could make quite a lot of money (even if you're only a part time model at the moment).

Many moments passed while you made breakfast before you heard either of your siblings get up. You turned your head, seeing your sister. "Good morning, Alisa."

Alisa yawns. "Morning, Y/n-chi." She looks at the fridge. "Are the bentos already made?"

You nod. "They're in the fridge. Is Lev awake yet?"

She yawns again. "I don't think so. He might've been snoring when I walked past his room. I thought it would be ok if I let him sleep in."

You sigh. "He has morning practice today. Can you please wake him up while I finish making breakfast?"

Your sister smiles, giving an ok sign. "I'm on it, Y/n-chi!" She leaves the room, heading back up the stairs.

You look at the breakfast you decided to make. It was a simple dish, one you know is very popular in western countries. Just a simple toast, bacon, and eggs. It never took much time or effort to make, and your siblings liked it just as much as anything else you make. Sometimes you wonder how they'd ever survive on their own. But, then again, you wouldn't want to live without your family. That's all you have.

Lev comes down the stairs, yawning loudly and stretching his arms out. "Oo! Breakfast smells good!" He quickly takes a seat at the table, waiting patiently for you to dish out the food.

Alisa sits across from him. "Well, our Y/n-chi made it, so of course it's gonna be good."

You roll your eyes, bringing the pans over to the table. "Take what you want, but make sure there's enough for everyone."

Lev happily starts scooping out what he wants. "You always make plenty for everyone, sis. I don't know why you always say that."

"Force of habit." It was a habit you formed ever since you first started cooking for them.

Alisa hummed as she took what she wanted. "You should make omurice again sometime. You make it really well."

You put what's leftover on your plate, putting the pans into the dishwasher to get cleaned once everyone is finished eating. "I'll see if I wake up early enough to make it tomorrow morning."

Lev quickly finished his food. "Y/n, you're still coming with me to practice after school, right?"

You nod. "Of course. I'm going to walk you to school, ok?"

Your little brother smiles brightly. "Then maybe you can come into the gym. Coach is never there in the morning, so no one will really care if you're there to watch us."

"You really want me to?"

"Yes. Very much. Please?"

Alisha giggles. "You can't say no to your little brother, Y/n-chi."

You sigh. "Fine, fine. I'll go to your morning practice, Lev."

The silver haired boy jumps up, cheering. "Alright! I love you so much, big sis! I won't waste your time! I promise!"

You wave your hand at him. "Yes, yes. Now, go get changed and ready. Make sure you get everything you're going to need. You don't need to get yelled at by your teachers."

"Yes! I'll be ready soon!" He dashes up the stairs and slams the door to his room.

Alisa laughs lightly. "He really wants you to be the manager for his club. He's talked about it nonstop as an idea for a while. Apparently, the guys on the team all want a manager, especially if it's a really attractive girl. But they haven't had any luck. Levochka thought you'd be a good choice considering you're responsible and the most beautiful girl he knows."

You load the dishes into the dishwasher, not looking at the older girl. "I know he really wants me to be with him as much as possible, but this isn't something I look forward to."

"Oh? Why not?"

You close your eyes, leaning against the counter. "You know how I am. I'm protective of him. He almost always complains, saying how most of the guys in his club pick on him. You know they yell at him and sometimes even hit him, right?"

Your sister remains in her seat, staring at you move around in the kitchen. "And you don't want to see any of that."

"Exactly. I think I would end up getting mad at his teammates. I don't want to cause problems, but I also don't want to straight up so no to Lev."

Alisa hums. "Well, just look at their practice. Maybe try kindly speaking with him. I think they'd understand since you're his big sister. After all, you're always there for Levochka. I think you can handle this. Give this a chance. He looks up to you the most, since you've practically raised him. Do you really wanna see him get all upset because his favorite person in the whole world doesn't want to spend time with him."

You groan. "I'll think about it."

Lev bursts into the room, school bag and practice bag slung over his shoulders. "I'm ready to go, Y/n!"

You turn to him. "Ok. Let's go."

You grab your school bag, then put your shoes on with your brother. The two of you leave the house, making your way to your school.
