"I really hate my life." I said as I took another large sip from my beer.

"You know, I enjoy accompanying you for a midnight drink, but please don't get yourself wasted." Ukyo-san said.

"I won't. Thanks for keeping me company." I said.

"So, I've heard two brothers have made a bold move on you." He said.

"Coming from you, that sounds like an insult, Ukyo-san." I said with a small laugh.

"Sorry, but I'm really worried about you. Are you sure you're alright? You look a little pale." He said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little dizzy, but it'll wear off, I promise." I said.

"Then you better limit your drinking. If you get dizzy and drunk, I just might..."

"Might what?" I asked.

"It's nothing. Forget I said anything." He said then continued drinking his beer.

He's sure acting weird today. I'm just probably almost wasted and hearing things. I'll forget about everything tomorrow.

***

And so the next day, I was on my day off again and Wataru was left to me.

"Sorry, Haru-san. I have an important club event today. I hope you understand."

"It's okay, Iori. Go ahead or you'll be late. Did you have breakfast already? I can pack one for you if you haven't." I offered.

"It's okay. Please pack it for my lunch instead." He said.

"Okay." I said as I grabbed a bento then started filling it up.

"Ha-tan~! Good morning! Weee~ that smells good! Can I have some?" He asked.

"Sure. Here." I said as I handed him a plate.

"Thanks!" He said.

"Here's your lunch. Good luck today." I said as I handed Iori his packed bento.

"Thanks. Behave, little bro." Iori said as he patted Wataru's head.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of Ha-tan and she'll take care of me!" Wataru proudly said.

Iori then walked out of the residence.

"So, you little devil. What are you planning to make me do today? Hm?"

***

After breakfast, Wataru asked me to play tea party with him. With him being a prince and me being a princess.

"Oh, young maiden, would you like a spot of tea?" He asked.

"Wataru, we're in the 21st century, not medieval times." I said.

"I know. I just like doing that! Haha!"

That cheeky but cute brat.

"HELLO~!" A loud voice greeted as they barged into Wataru's room.

"Tsubaki? Aren't you supposed to be at work?" I asked.

"Yeah, but the director was sick so they gave us the day off instead!" Tsubaki said as he beamed a smile.

"Tsukkun! Get out of my room! Can't you see Ha-tan and I are in the middle of a tea party?" Wataru said as he pushed Tsubaki away.

"So what? You always take her away to play when I'm talking to her!" Tsubaki defended.

"You always walk in on us when we're playing! And you always steal her away!" Wataru yelled.

"I do not! You do!" Tsubaki yelled then the two grinded their teeth as their foreheads pressed together.

"Boys, I am not an object." I said then face-palmed while trying to break them apart.

***

Minutes later, I managed to stop the two and put Wataru in distraction with a good tv show. Tsubaki said that he needed to talk to me in private, so I called Natsume to pick him up and go play with him at some arcade.

Right now, Tsubaki and I are in the living room. Talking, and drinking some coffee.

"So, what's up? Something wrong with work?" I asked.

"No. I was just wondering if you're okay. I heard two of my Idiot brothers said something stupid to you." He said.

"Oh, that.. I'm fine. I'm not really thinking that much about it. I.. am thankful for their feelings, but.. I don't know what I feel about them yet." I said.

"Say.., if another one of us were to make a confession to you, would it make it harder for you?" He asked.

"Well, I don't know. That'll depend on what I'm feeling at that time." I said.

"Ahh, you're amazing, Haruna." Tsubaki said as he stood up from the sofa.

"How can you say that?" I asked.

"Well, you've stolen Wataru's attention, Masa-nii's heart, you've stolen Azusa's heart, and.."

"You... have even stolen my heart." He whispered as he held my hand which made me blush.

"Excuse me, what?" I asked then blinked twice.

"Nothing. By the way, Kana-nii said that he'll be coming back for lunch and he'll be with Azusa, Subaru, Yuusuke, and Ema. I'll reheat the rice and leave the rest to you. I still have to work on my new script. Bye~" he bid then went upstairs.

A moment ago.. was that a clue or something? Tsubaki... what are you saying?

I shrugged off the thought then hurried to make lunch for all of us.

***

Soon, everyone arrived just in time for lunch.

"Wait a moment guys, I'll just set up the table—"

"We'll help!" All the boys practically yelled.

"Ema, could you assist me?" I asked, flatly rejecting the boys.

"Sure." She replied with a smile.

The boys sighed.

"Boys, go put the food on the table. No fighting." I said.

"Yes, ma'am."

***

After having lunch, everyone did their own stuff while I washed the dishes.

"Hey, mind if I help?" Azusa asked.

"Sure. You can wipe the dishes." I said as I handed him a dry cloth.

We were silently working in the kitchen as Yuusuke was screaming as he lost another game against Kaname-san.

"So, uhm, Haruna." Azusa called out.

"Yeah?" I asked as I averted eye contact and continued washing.

"I'm sorry about the CD. I just had to say it." He said.

"It's fine, but I hope you don't expect a fast answer." I said.

"No, of course not, but.. I just want you to stay away from Tsubaki." He said which made me stop what I was doing.

"Azusa, what are you talking about?" I asked then looked at him.

He was just looking at me with a straight face. He was serious when he said that.

"Whatever. You can't tell me what to do." I said then continued working.

These idiots. What made them fall for me?
