Promises [knb fanfic]

A Big Brother's warmth

Tetsumi was on her way to the convenient store to buy the things her grandmother wanted. She went toward the cashier to pay for the foods. Just then a very tall guy approached the counter at the same time as her, he accidentally bumped her just a bit.

"Araa? Kurochin, you grew your hair?" The very tall guy asked, he was carrying a bunch of sweets.

Tetsumi looked up at the tall guy, she noticed who the guy was, "AH!! Atsu-pon~!"

"Chotte matte, your voice is a girl.. Aaahh.. Tsumicchin.. Hisashiburi da naa.." Murasakibara smiled and put his big hand on top of her head and messes her hair.

Tetsumi pouted a bit as she felt herself getting tinier by what the very tall guy, Murasakibara Atsushi was doing. "Atsu-pon, stop that.. You're messing up my hair!!"

"Ahh gomen, gomen, does it hurt? Warui naa.." Then he payed up for his sweets so is Tetsumi, they went out the store together. Then he took something from his paper bag, a lollipop and gave it to her. "I don't usually share but Tsumicchin is an exemption."

Tetsumi blinked a lot, looking at the lollipop, then she smiled widely and accepted it, "UWWAAA!! Arigatou Atsu-pon~!!!" She hugged him like a little kid, thanking him.

Murasakibara looked at her and pouted a bit but ended up patting her head, "I heard you are attending the same school as Akacchin.. Rakuzan?"

When Tetsumi heard Akashi's nickname, she gave out a long pause, her mood lowered down, she clenched his shirt and looked down on the ground, "Ah..yes, yes.. same school as.. Akashi-kun.."

Murasakibara wondered why her emotions changed when he mentioned Akashi since he knew back in Teiko, Akashi himself introduced her as his girlfriend, but since he was not interested in topics like that, he just ate a maiubo, "By the way, how is Kurocchin?"

"Nii-chan?" She looked up at him and smiled a bit, "Nii-chan is doing great. He is here with me, we're helping grandma in her fruit salad!" Then she released him, "Speaking of fruit salad.. AHH!! I should be going back now!!"

Murasakibara looked down at her and suddenly remembered something, "Ahh by the way, someone told me to give you this..I was supposed to ask Murocchin to do the delivery but since you are already here, I'll give it.." he paused and gave her a medium sized brown box.

Tetsumi took the box from him, "Eh? Who gave this?"

"I'll take my leave now, see you around Tsumicchin.." He walked away, not answering her question.

Tetsumi looked at Murasakibara and decided not to follow him since she needs to go home now.

When she got home, Kuroko immediately took the groceries from her and scolded her for taking really long, and as he scolded her, his pokerface remained. (REAALLLY??? XDD)

"You should know what time a girl of your age should go home---

"I'm sorry nii-chan, really.." she was just smiling childishly at him, holding the brown box, Imayoshi noticed the brown box but didn't made a fuss out of it. "I met Atsu-pon on my way and had a little chit-chat with him. He even gave me a lollipop and this brown box!!" She showed him the lollipop, smiling widely, and with that she at once went up to her room, escaping her brother's scolding attitude.

Kuroko gave out a sigh, "Troublesome sister..."

While Tetsumi was in her room, she opened the box and as she did, inside the box were a matching cute scarfs for the twins' cute clothes she recieved earlier and once again, there was a red ribbon inside.

Tetsumi was happy to whoever sent those gifts, she took out the scarfs and the clothes from the other brown box and placed it inside the twins' closet.
