We Have Chemistry | Brothers Conflict [DISCONTINUED]

>>>

There was a bustling in the apartment complex as the Asahina's and the Hinata's began to prepare for their 20 year-old brother, Subaru's, party.

Ema was racing around the kitchen mixing up dry ingredients with the wet ones as she continued with her cake batter while Ukyo was cooking up a storm.

The brothers ー and sister ー that weren't helping in the kitchen were tasked with setting up the dining table, placing forks, spoons, and knives in sets and positioning them neatly on the napkins next to a ceramic plate in front of each chair, as if it were a restaurant.

Usually there would be no fuss during birthdays unless it were for the younger siblings of the family since the older brothers were too "mature" for these kinds of things but it was a special occasion since Subaru was going to turn 20.

Finally, they were done setting up and Ema and Enri were pulled aside unexpectedly by Louis which gained him suspicious sets of eyes all around the dining room/kitchen.

"Louis-san?" Enri inquired, glancing back towards the dining table as she was dragged deeper into the hallways with Ema until they reached an apartment room.

It was a neatly disorganized room with little things scattered around here and there such as hairdryers, curling irons, and hairspray along with a variety of different styles of combs.

Moments later Juli scampered into the room, a slightly ticked off expression dancing across his face as he began to rant about men being wolves and etc.

"I'm sorry for bringing you two here unannounced, I just thought it would be such a waste not to look pretty on such an important occasion." Louis explained, a soft and warm smile on his face as he examined both of their hair.

Ema let out an understanding "Oh.." before her face brightened, offering the 21 year-old man a broad smile. "Of course you can style our hair, Louis-nii! It would be a pleasure, right Nee-san?" She said, looking up expectantly at her crimson-haired sister.

Enri's eyes scanned suspiciously around the room before they fixed on Louis, his grinning face never faltering, until she nodded, her own expression softening up considerably. "I don't see anything wrong with that and I'd love to see how much cuter my Ema can get." The red-head replied, petting her adoptive sister's brunette locks, ruffling them up a bit.

"Nee-san!" Ema exclaimed as she tried to flatten down the hairs that were persistently sticking upwards from when they escaped her side pony-tail, pouting up at her sister.

Enri chuckled as she sat down on a stool, allowing Louis to fix up her hair as she hummed quietly to a tune that had been lost in her head for quite a while before finally resurfacing.

As the droopy-eyed the hairstylist began setting hair in different places, braiding and clipping other strands together Ema and Enri engaged in meaningless conversation until he finished.

[Imagine this hair but red.]

After, Louis went to work on Ema while her crimson-haired sister exited the room, venturing through the hallway until she reached the dining room once more.

"Enri-nee-san!" Wataru exclaimed, sprinting over to her and enveloping her in a tight leg-hug. With a grin, Enri picked up the salmon-haired boy, taking a seat in between Masaomi and a partially long-haired blonde man in a purple and black kimono.

With a flirtatious smirk the blonde man grabbed a portion of Enri's silky scarlet hair, letting it drop as he pulled back. "Why hello my little scientist. My name is Kaname."

With stiff and tense shoulders Enri spun around to face the monk, a slightly disgusted frown drawn on her face. "Uhm, hello . . ." She said, awkwardly pulling her hair to the side opposite of the man.

Ignoring her uncomfortable aura, Kaname shifted in his seat so he was leaning closer to the physicist, enjoying how she squirmed under his gaze.

This continued until he was pulled back by Ukyo who had been sitting to the right of    him ー Enri being on his left ー while Masaomi separated the physicist from the monk by pulling her towards him.

"Kaname-kun, I don't think Enri-san likes that." Masaomi scolded, hugging the girl closer to his chest.

With a feint blush, Enri leaned a bit closer to the pediatrician, enjoying the warmth that radiated from his body, not noticing how he smiled when she did so.

With his arms up in surrender, Kaname took the light smack from Ukyo before continuing on with the birthday dinner, Ema and Louis finally joining the group.

Withdrawing from Masaomi's arms, Enri congratulated Subaru on his 20th birthday before smoothly rejoining the flow of the conversation, talking and laughing with the other brothers while occasionally scooting over to Wataru to feed him cake when he asked.

The rest of the party went by smoothly and the family of siblings began to clean up.

As Enri swept she couldn't help but feel 3 sets of eyes burning holes into the back of her head.
