"Thank you for the food!" Everyone cheered as they began to eat their food at a fast pace, everyone except Ayaka. A defended look on her face as she ate her dinner slower then usual. The first brother to notice was Choromatsu.
"Ayaka-chan, you're eating slower then usual. Why?" He ask as the other brothers stopped and look at the little sister. (Except Jyushimatsu who was still eating fast and listening)
"Well, you all know we have the music festival right?" The brothers nodded "I was...I was chosen to do a song by myself!!" She cried as she fell onto her back.
"I'm going to fail! I'm going to faaaaail!!" She continued as she rolled around. Karamatsu let out a 'heh' and Ayaka stopped whining and rolling.
"Never fret my dearest sister, for I will help you with your singing" he said as Ayaka's eyes lit up as she jumped up to her knees "You'll really help me Karamatsu nii-san?" With a bright smile on his face he nodded as Ayaka hugged him tightly thanking him over and over again.
"Oi, since when do you sing Karamatsu?" Osomatsu asked as Ayaka calmed down. "Well, it has been a hobby of mine for awhile now"
"I've heard it, it's sounds like shit" Ichimatsu said with a blank face as Choromatsu took a second to scold him for 'inappropriate' words around Ayaka. Karamatsu looked hurt for a moment then smirked
"I will try better next time then, thank you for the input Ichimatsu~" He sad as Ichi rolled his eyes.
The blue brother turned back to Ayaka "We will practice tomorrow, after school" He said as he patted her her head.
~After School~
The rooftop was the best place the two could think of so the others couldn't hear Ayaka yet. She sat beside Kara fiddling with the sheet of music Hoshi-san gave to her.
"I-I don't know if I wanna do this anymore Nii-san..." Ayaka muttered as she shifted from one foot to the other.
"Nonsense, no need to worry my princess~" Karamatsu said as toned his guitar "I know you will do fine, now hand me the sheet" He said as he got up. Ayaka handed him the sheet, still fidgeting. He quickly scanned the sheet and then hands it back.
"I think I got it, so let's start" Ayaka hesitantly nodded
"1,2...1 2 3"
"I....I dream of the morning
It's not...time yet
It's not time ye-
Wh-What color will morning be?
It's not t- I'm sorry Nii-san I can't!" Ayaka cried and run off but inside.
While running in side she bumped into Todomatsu.
"Ayaka-chan, how did it-" he stopped his sentence and watched the small girl run to their room. He soon then followed her in along with Kara.
Upon entering the dark room, they saw Ayaka in the middle of the room with her face in a pillow. The two let out a silent sigh and walked over to her.
"I can't do it, Im sorry" her voice muffled from the pillow. Kara gave a small smile and petted her on the head.
"There, there my cherry blossom you just need to be more confident in yourself." Kara said as Totty nodded and made sounds of agreement.
"Karamatsu nii-san is right! We know you can do this!" Todomatsu said rubbed her back.
"You really think so?" she asked. The brothers nodded as tears formed in Ayaka's eye.
"Thank you, Nii-sans"
