There's a Story Behind Every Smile (Hitachiin Triplets, OHSHC)

Chapter Six

What an insult. 

Did they really think that attracted girls? It was sad, really. What kind of brothers were they?

Oops. Wasn't supposed to write that. Oh well.

She watched their brotherly love act out of the corner of her eye, a smile on her face but lost in thought as their customer asked them a question.

It caught attention, sure, but who could ever fall for someone so unfaithful, so... well, obviously gay? She was no exception, neither was Akira, as they were both bi-sexual; she wasn't homophobic, but how could a girl fall for an openly gay guy, let alone two who liked each other just as openly. It was just illogical.

She was thinking too much, a universe-huge difference from her usual problem.

"So, can you tell us anything about yourselves?" the small girl in front of them asked.

Teru turned, smile turned flirty in order to lure them in. Let's show them how it's done.

"Well, as you already know, my name's Teru, and this here is my older bro Akira. We're both sixteen, and obviously twins. But if you want to know something interesting... Well, I'll let you in on a little secret."

Teru got up, moving to sit between the two girls on the couch while wrapping an arm around both of their shoulders and pulling them closer. "Akira isn't a Japanese citizen. We were actually separated at birth, but we met when my adoptive father sent me to an American school and we got put in the same dorm." They blushed. Of course. They were supposed to feel like they were let in on a personal secret.

"Teru, why'd you have to tell them that? Can't we just be normal twins?" Akira whined, picking up quickly. Teru went back to his side. She was the master of half truths.

"Well, they wanted to know about us, and there's not much more to say than that."

Akira rolled his eyes before looking back at the girls with a slight smile. "So, are you girls hungry? There's a good sweet shoppe down the road, and I went right after school to get some homemade chocolate. Here; it's amazing, I swear." He pulled some paper-wrapped chocolate bars from his coat pocket, handing them to the two girls.

Teru's eyes lit up. "So... do I get some?" She tilted her head slightly to seem as cute as possible, like a little puppy.

Akira smiled. "Of course-" She smiled back. "-not. I didn't know there was a club meeting today, and I'd planned to go home and work, so that was your and my candy bars." Her eye twitched at his now obviously evil smile.

"You dirty little-damn." She tried not to cuss but only brought it down a level. Then she had an idea.

He turned his head, seeing that one of the girls had just put the chocolate bar in her mouth. She fluidly slipped from her seat to sit beside the customer, and it surprised the dear just enough for her to quickly take her chin and take a bite from the other end. Her eyes went wide, her cheeks bright red, but Teru was talking to the other girl before she and Akira could react. 

She pretend-yawned, using that old American trick to get an arm over the girl's shoulder, and the girl giggled. Just my type, ha. Akira can have this little shy thing on my other side. "It is pretty good chocolate, isn't it?"

"Oh yes, Teru-kun. Maybe we could go down there one day instead of coming to club? I'm sure Akira-kun and Annai-chan will be fine without us for one day." She nodded her head towards the two-Annaisha, the other girl, had switched couches so it wasn't crowded on that one, and her and Akira were blushing like idiots. Teru laughed. Damn, this is my kind of girl.

"Maybe, but I wouldn't want to make a bad impression on these other idiots first-day. Maybe in a couple weeks?" I smiled my brightest smile at her.

She nodded, leaning her head on my shoulder and humming in delight. "You know, you really make me feel comfortable. Your type speaks for you. I haven't felt this laid-back since my older brother was around." She felt Sute-the customer she sat with-begin to tremble, and Teru pulled her closer, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. 

"Yeah, I know the feeling. What was his name, if it's not a touchy subject?"

She smiled, laughing while a few tears fell, although she hid them in Teru's shirt. "No, another time. When you take me out for chocolate, Teru. Then. Just sit with me."

Despite that moment, Teru was still a little smug from the twins' angry glares on her neck.
