I sit at the top of the staircase as I blankly gaze at my nails while most of us wait for the bride and her brother to arrive. I finally look up to see Shu sitting down at the base of the staircase with his eyes closed while Yuma sits beside him, eating sugar cubes.
"You okay?" I hear from beside me and turn my head to look up at Ayato, who was standing beside me with Laito. I smile at him and nod before turning away to see Yui fiddling with a colorful cube in her hands. She was more focused on the cube than she had ever been on anything else in her time here.
"Hey, Yui. What's that in your hand?" I tilt my head slightly to get a better look at her before she turns to look at me. She lifts her hand up to show me the colorful cube with randomly placed tiny squares.
"Oh, this? It's called a Rubix cube. It used to be so popular before, it probably still is." She extends her hand holding the cube towards me to take it. I eye it suspiciously before grabbing it and examining it closely.
"How do you even play this? What are the rules?"
"No rules! You just have to match all the colors on each side as soon as possible." Yui explains, her voice light with curiosity, as Ayato and Laito snicker.
"Well, good luck waiting for a lifetime." Ayato looks up at me as I stare back with a blank look.
"If 5 minutes is a lifetime for you, then you might not have that much trouble waiting." With that, I stand up and look at the cube while Yui stares at the watch around her wrist.
"Alright, go!" She announces and I begin rotating the sides around while pausing once in a while to think through my moves, even if I mostly had no idea what I was doing. I maintain my focus until the very second all the sides eventually match. With a proud smirk, I hold up the finished and quite satisfying cube in my hand to show everyone. "One minute and 47 seconds!" I turn to Yui, who has her mouth wide open, as she gazes between the watch and me continuously until she finally seems out of a daze.
"Is that good?"
"That's actually really impressive! It's one of the best times I've seen! Are you sure you haven't done this before?" She stares up at me in shock as I sneak a peek at my brothers to see them frozen in surprise.
"Quite sure." I chuckle lightly and toss the cube to Ayato, who catches it in time and looks up at me in confusion.
"No, really, how did you do it? People take like days to finish it, sometimes." Yui takes a step forward, curiosity shining through her eyes.
"I guess I got lucky." I shrug and turn to Ayato, pointing back at the cube. "Why don't you give it a try? Let's see how long you make us wait."
"Are you sure you want me to do that? I might beat your time." He waves the cube in his hand as he smirks up at me, making me roll my eyes and cross my arms.
"Why don't you do your victory speech if you are able to finish it before I did?" I tilt my head to the side as he scoffs before focusing on the cube. Yui looks back at her watch and begins measuring the time. I simply stare at him as he flips the colorful sides of it in his hands and silence slowly takes over the entire room. The only sound we can hear is the clicks of the insides of the cube as their sides are turned and twisted.
"It's alright, Ayato. Not everyone can be as good at it as some people." Laito leans back after about 4 minutes of silence and Ayato grunts in frustration.
