Stepbrothers- chapter 1
“ So um Takanori, what kind of talents do you have?” Usagi spoke through half-filled mouth at dinner. He was sitting directly across Mimiko, while Takanori was sitting across from Akira. They were staring at each other, no doubt wanting to just swallow each other whole.
“ Well Taka’s a great singer!” Mimiko answered usagi’s question while the two youngsters continued on their staring contest.
“ How great, is great?” Akira directed the question at Takanori, not a moment breaking eye contact.
“ Well I’m just freakin awesome. I was once called “ The greatest singer of the Era.”.” He retorted back. He had never experienced dislike for anyone as thick as this. It was pathetic.
“ Yeah. But well because of certain accidents, Taka never sang again. And as for example, I’m his mother, and I’ve only heard him, sing twice.” Mimiko added with a small smile, trying her best to warm up the tense atmosphere.
“ Well I can sing too.” Akira challenged. All eyes turned to look at him.
“ If you’d like it you could have a taste of my baaaaaaaaaa~aaaals…” Akira started screeching at the top of his voice. Taka continued staring at him without moving a vein. Mimiko slapped her forehead while Usagi reacted instantly.
“ HEY HEY stop singing! Its disgusting Akira! We’re having dinner for god’s sake!” Usagi spat out.
Akira stared at him in disbelief.
“ What? Dad I’m just showing them I can sing as well!” Akira couldn’t take the fact that his dad was siding with his enemy, that’s right, enemy.
“ That’s enough Akira.” Usagi sighed. He had a really bad feeling about the days onwards.
The table was quiet after that, until Ruki broke it.
“ Sluuuuuuurrrp sluuuuuuuuuurrrpp.” He sipped his ice lemon tea with a deafening sound, and that’s when mimiko lost it.
“ Matsumoto Takanori! Have your dinner silently will you?” Mimiko hissed through her teeth. Her cheeks were red with embarrassment and possibly anger, but Takanori knew not to push it any further when she’s in a state like this.
“ I’m sorry mum. Its just a habbit.”
“ You know you have no habbit like that!” Mimiko almost whispered it to Takanori.
He only shrugged before he continued staring Akira down.
There was silence again until, Akira broke it.
“ Prrruuuisshhh.” He squeezed the bottle of chili onto his plate. It was normal, well, except that he squeezed the entire full bottle of it. Usagi lost it as well.
“ AKIRA! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH YOU HEAR ME?” Usagi stood from the table.
“ What? I like it!” Akira defended himself again.
“ Hey Usagi its alright. Really.” Mimiko tried calming usagi down.
The rest of dinner continued in peace as all Usagi and Mimiko tried to finish their dinner fast, in case arguments breaks out again.
Akira and Takanori finished theirs earlier, and Usagi instructed Akira to bring takanori around the house for a look.
“ Oh and takanori, me and Mimiko will be sleeping together, and since Akira refuses to give up his office, the both of you will be sleeping together.” Usagi gave an assuring smile to takanori.
“ I hope you don’t mind.” Ruki gave a small smile back.
“ Most certainly, Suzuki-san.”
“ Please, call me usagi.”
Takanori refused to do so.
“Suzuki-san” he murmured softly before following Akira up the second floor with his lugguage.
“ You sure they’ll be alright together?” Mimiko asked usagi with a worried expression plastered on her face.
“ Yeah I guess. Don’t worry.” He smiled and placed his hands on Mimiko’s.

“ Alright so this is the second floor, this is the bathroom, the master bedroom, and I want you to take a look at this room.”
Takanori followed Akira into a room slightly small than the master bedroom before he was being pushed lightly outside the door.
“ Woah woah. Hold it hold it. Listen. There’s only one rule in this house, by me. Wherever you go, do NOT come into this room. Its my office, where I play my bass guitar and my Xbox and such. Just, never come into this room.” Akira narrowed his eyes at Takanori, as if he was sure the other would definitely break the rule.
“ But wh-.”
“ DO NOT FUCKING COME INTO THIS ROOM” takanori was cut off short by Akira’s sudden uproar.
“ Okay okay! No need to get so uptight!” He murmured as Akira passed him and proceed towards the next room. Before takanori left, he took another look at the bass guitar and shrugged.
Its just a bass guitar.
He followed Akira into the next room, their bedroom. It seems that they prepared to welcome him since there was an extra queen-sized bed. The room looked bigger than the master bedroom, and was slightly messy. Well, what did Takanori expect? That a freak would have a cleaner bedroom than his? Oh hell no.
“ Right this is our bedroom, and best that you label your things that are out of this room, cause they’ll be thrown out. By me. Other than that, just abide by that one rule, and your safe.”
Takanori nodded.
That was all? Seems pretty simple to him.

“ You awake” Takanori whispered to Akira from the other bed. It was almost midnight. Takanori and Akira were both in bed, and so was Usagi and Mimiko. They had to whisper as not to wake up the other two in the next bedroom.
“ Yea.” Akira whispered back.
Calling me up in the middle of the night? Hah. Couldn’t be anything good.
“ I hate your guts. And this house.” Takanori whispered to Akira with a small grin.
“ Hah! Guess what. I hate you too! I only agreed to let you and your mum move in cos she’s hot!” Akira spat back.
Silence followed.
Akira turned his head slightly to face takanori’s bed, before noticing he was asleep.
He snored slightly, but when his eyes were shut and lips were closed, he was nothing near a bitch. And, he looks kinda cute.
CUTE?!? OH HELL NO! I MUST BE OUTTA MY MIND! THIS IS INSANE.
Akira drove the thought out of his mind and drifted to sleep.
