It was finally summer vacation, the summer sunlight shined through a certain raven-haired male's blinds. The morning was quiet as the male stayed asleep in his bed. At least until a redhead came barging into his room.

"Niichan~~ Wake up!"

Sakata walked up to his brother's bed, the said male didn't make any attempt on getting up. Sakata pouted and went to open the blinds.

The sunlight filled the room, it was too bright for the older so he turned to face the other way to avoid the sunlight.

"Come on~ It's summer. You're not going to spend it sleeping all the time.

"Too tired," came the lazy response from the raven-haired.

"Niichan~ I'm hungry so let's go have eat somewhere."

The lump on the bed sighed as he sat up, he was adjusting his eyes to the bright room.

"You're so annoying..."

Soraru was still half asleep, his hair was sticking up and he rubbed his eyes in an attempt to wake up.

"But you still love me~~"

"You're lucky you're my brother and you're cute."

"That reminds me, you've been calling Mafu cute lately." Sakata recalled what Mafu told him before.

"So?"

"Don't you think you use it too often. I mean he might misunderstand what you mean."

Sakata was worried that if his brother ended up not liking Mafu then that would devastate the albino, especially if he was making comments that could be seen as flirting.

"Eh?" Soraru was beginning to become fully awake as he got off of his bed. "But he is."

"Hey niichan do you happen to like Mafu?" Sakata decided to try and ask. Maybe he can finally clarify his actions.

"Sure. He's a nice friend."

"Eh?"

Sakata blinked at his brother's denseness. Ah, niichan has never fallen in love before because he was always busy. I guess he doesn't understand his feelings at all, he doesn't know how love feels like.

Sakata thought about how Soraru never really had time to worry about gaining feelings since he always ignored people and they usually ignored him back. But now that Mafu had appeared, his brother was able to show more emotions, emotions that he normally wouldn't have felt as much as he is now.

"Anyways," Sakata brushed off the question, "can be go eat at a cafe?"

"What time is it?"

"It's 1 pm. You slept a lot niichan, so you should reward me for you letting sleep longer." Sakata playfully demanded to his brother.

"Eh? That late? Did you eat breakfast?"

Soraru was worried that his little brother hadn't eaten anything at all.

"Don't worry I had breakfast but I want to go out and eat with niichan~" Sakata reassured him as Soraru sighed in relief.

"Fine, just let me get ready then we can go."

"Yay~"

•~•~•~•~•~•~•

They were walking towards a cafe nearby as Sakata was enjoying the breeze. He was always happy when him and his brother got to spend time together with no disruptions. Soraru enjoyed the peace and quietness when he was with Sakata. They entered the cafe and sat down at a table in the corner. They were about to order when Soraru noticed who their waiter was.

"Eh? Amatsuki works?" He commented at the brunette in front of them.

"Not even a 'hello Amatsuki how have you been'? So rude Soraru." Amatsuki pouted at the raven-haired who shrugged lazily.

He was wearing an outfit that resembled one of a butler.

"Hey Ama-chan!" Sakata eagerly said.

"See Soraru, you should be like Sakata." Soraru just rolled his eyes at the brunette.

"You work here Ama-chan?" Sakata questioned the brunette who shook his head.

"Not really. A parent of a friend I know owns the cafe and asked me if I wanted to help around today. I decided to since I have nothing to do."

"Ohhh, that's nice."

"Anyways what do you guys wants?"

"I want a strawberry shortcake."
"Just an omelette."

"Okay be back." Amatsuki walked away to place their orders.

"Surprised we see Ama-chan here."

"Yep." Soraru said as they waited for their orders.

They ate while talking about what to do today. They finished their food and where leaving the cafe when Sakata saw Amatsuki walk up to them.

"Ama-chan you're done working?" Sakata question the brunette who was in his regular clothing.

"Yep. The owner said I could leave now so I have free time."

"Want to join us? We were going to karaoke right now."

"I can?" Amatsuki thought for a second and then happily replied back. "Thanks~~"

"The more the merrier." Sakata smiled along with the brunette.

Soraru just looked at them and sighed, so much for peace and quiet. Actually never mind, it's never quiet with Sakata.

They were walking towards the karaoke when they happened to spot four familiar faces.

"Hey guys." Amatsuki waved at the four who looked at them.

"Hey Amatsuki." Senra greeted back as they walked towards the three.

"Funny meeting you here." Shima commented.

"I know right. I was working at a cafe when I saw Soraru and Sakata. My shift ended so I decided to join them."

"We were going to karaoke." Sakata added to the brunette's statement.

"That sounds fun~" Mafu grinned.

"Is Soraru even capable of singing?"

Urata had a smug look on his face as he doubted that the older one in the group can sing, or at least can sing without sounding like a dying chicken. Soraru glared at the brunette.

"Niichan in great at singing." Sakata put emphasis on 'great' as he smiled at his brother.

"Hey do you guys wants to join us?" Amatsuki brought up the question as Sakata nodded in agreement to his question.

"Sure. We were just walking around town anyway." Senra answered back.

"No matter what we do we just happen to see you guys." Soraru mumbled as it seemed like he can't escape from them.

Sakata heard his mumbling and giggled to himself. Niichan looks annoyed but I'm pretty sure he's happy that they're joining us.

They walked towards their destination, the others were talking and bragging about how great they can sing while Soraru just rolled his eyes at their big egos. They entered the establishment and found a spot available for them.

"We have two hours here so better make the most of it." Amatsuki said as he walked up to the machine to sing.

"What are you going to sing Ama-chan?" Mafu asked the brunette who pondered for a bit.

"Let's see..... I know! Ghost Rule." Amatsuki said that as he put the song on and began to sing. The others smiled as Amatsuki had fun singing along. After Amatsuki finished he grinned at the score he got, 95.

"Hah! Try to beat that guys!" He smugly said.

"I'm pretty sure we can." Urata spoke with a deadpan tone.

"Soraru why don't you go next?" Mafu asked the raven-haired who rose an eyebrow at him.

"No."

"Please~~"

"I'm fine."

"Please~~"

"Please niichan~~"

Sakata had joined Mafu in begging him. Soraru saw their puppy eyes, come on two at the same time.....

If Soraru couldn't say no to JUST Sakata then how do they expect him to be able to say no if Sakata AND Mafu gave him puppy eyes.

Soraru sighed as he got up to take the mic from Amatsuki.

"Fine. Just one though," he said as Sakata and Mafu high-five each other in their accomplishment.

Soraru looked through the song and choose Dramaturgy, while singing he would smile to himself, he wouldn't admit it but he was having fun.

The others were staring in amazement as Soraru sang. Mafu stared at the raven-haired male in admiration and was stuck in a trance as he listened to Soraru's deep, husky singing voice that made the albino's heart flutter. He sounds so nice....

Sakata smiled at his brother, he knew that Soraru was great at singing but he still gets amazed. Soraru finished singing and the others were shocked at his score, 98.

"What?!?" They shouted in bewilderment.

"Too loud." Soraru covered his ears to block out their shouts and shocked voices.

"We've never gotten that close. We'd always get at least in between 90 and 96 but not a freaking 98." Amatsuki declared as the others were still in shock.

"Soraru could try becoming a singer, with that kind of voice you'd get even more fans." Shima joked as Soraru went back to his seat.

Soraru just gave Shima a look that said 'don't be crazy' and sighed at their shock faces.

"Why is it so shocking anyways? It's just a score."

"Yeah but we've always sang whenever we've gone to karaoke but you've never sang before right?" Amatsuki still couldn't believe it.

"I have a couple of times." Soraru crossed his arms as he was getting bored of their reactions.

"Well that aside, Soraru has a nice singing voice." Mafu smiled at Soraru, a small pink-tinted blush was on his cheek.

Soraru just gave back a small smile and said 'thanks' to the albino.

"Yeah I agree with Mafu. You're voice did sound good." Senra complimented the raven-haired male, much to the distress of a certain purple-haired male who was jokingly upset that his lover was complimenting someone else.

"I want to go next!"

Mafu got up and chose to sing Chururia Chururia Daddadda. Soraru was impressed that the albino could hit high notes and he thought the albino sounded cute. Sakata it right, I've been calling him cute for a while now. Why is that?

Soraru was starting to realize that whenever it came to the albino, he'd say things he normally would never say out loud.

"Great as always Mafu." Amatsuki complimented the albino who smiled in proudness.

The others went up with Shima singing Charles, Senra singing Fixer and Urata singing Comet Honeymoon.

"Why don't we try singing in duets or groups?" Mafu asked the others as they nodded in agreement.

"I wanna sing with Soraru!" Amatsuki eagerly said resulting in the latter to reply with 'no.'

"Please. I want to sing with the great delinquent."

Soraru was about to decline again but then sighed as he realized that his brother would just beg him with puppy eyes. "Fine."

"Yes! Let's sing Alien."

Amatsuki and Soraru were singing together and Mafu could see that Soraru seemed to be having a great time singing. Ah~ I want to sing with Soraru too.

"Wwww that was fun." Amatsuki exclaimed with a smile on his face.

Soraru just had a blank expression, but Sakata could see an invisible smile make its way on his face. Sakata had a great idea, this can help Mafu, as spoke to his brother.

"Niichan why don't you sing with Mafu~?"

The mentioned albino blushed at Sakata's question.

"Eh?! S-Sakata I-I...." Mafu started speaking but Sakata whispered in his ear.

"This can help you two get closer." Mafu blushed and nodded at the redhead.

"Sure." Soraru answered his brother's question with a nonchalant nod.

"Okay~" Sakata grinned as he went to pick the song for them, he found one that would be a good one.

"Here's the song." Sakata picked it and went back to his seat. Soraru and Mafu looked at the song that Sakata had chosen, it was called Koi. Mafu's face turned red while Soraru had a nonexistent blush on his cheeks. He sighed and looked at Sakata who was still grinning. Mafu took a deep breath and started to sing when the song started. Their voices were in harmony as they sang together and Sakata noticed that Mafu would look at Soraru during their singing. Mafu must be singing from the bottom of his heart to niichan. He's singing as if he singing to Soraru. How nice. Sakata was happy looking at the scene while the others smiled. The song was over and Urata could see Mafu's face still flushed. He sighed and looked at Soraru, to his surprise Soraru was smiling and looking fondly at Mafu with a blush on his face.

"Www you guys sounded perfect together." Amatsuki commented, laughing as Mafu's face blushed even more.

"So who's the husband and who's the wife?" Shima teased the two males.

"S-S-Stop S-S-Shima!" Mafu shouted at the purple-haired male embarrassed.

The others were teasing them for awhile and only managed to calm down when Soraru threatened them.

"I-I-If it's s-so f-funny then why don't you sing with Urata, Sakata!" Mafu retorted at the redhead who blushed a little.

"A-Ah, U-Urata p-probably w-wouldn't w-want to...."

Mafu felt guilty when he saw Sakata look down while playing with his fingers. Mafu gave Urata puppy eyes, please I want you to fall in love with Sakata.

The brunette in question looked at Mafu's eyes before looking at Sakata. He felt his heart break at the sight of the redhead looking upset. As long as that idiot is happy then I don't mind. Urata was going to say something nice to cheer up the redhead but his words betrayed his thought.

"If the idiot wants to then sure. Can you even sing anyways? You haven't sang at all since we got here."

Urata wanted to punch himself for his blunt, sharp words. So much for trying to be nice.

"E-E-Eh? Y-You don't mind?" Sakata's eyes lit up and Urata resisted the urge to smile at the sight. Cute....... I never said that.

Soraru looked at his brother and smiled. He seems to be even more happier when it involves the tanuki. Unlike Urata, who didn't like the thought of Mafu falling in love with Soraru, Soraru was happy that Sakata seemed to like the brunette.

But if he does anything that makes Sakata upset I won't hesitate to hurt him. He knew he was a bit overprotective of Sakata, but can you blame him. Sakata was innocent and a bit naive, so much that he'd trust anyone who seemed nice. That's why he was picked on before.

"So what are you going to sing?" Soraru asked the two.

Urata thought for a moment before Sakata decided for them.

"This song."

Soraru smiled as he saw the song his little brother picked, Yume Midori. Sakata and him had sang to song before and they always enjoyed singing it.

The song started and they were in perfect harmony, just like Soraru and Mafu. Sakata was a ray on sunshine with his smile as Urata was having fun singing with the redhead.

They finished the song and Sakata gave Urata a smile that could light up the room and Urata had to turn his head away to avoid letting the redhead and the others from seeing his blush. They all sang a bit more as time went by, they were laughing, smiling and just enjoying each other's company.

Their time ran out and as they were leaving Mafu reminded them about their plans tomorrow.

"We're going to the amusement park tomorrow right?" It was Saturday tomorrow and they decided to go on the weekend.

"Yep," Shima replied as the others nodded.

"Where are we going to meet up?" Senra brought the question towards their attention as they realized they didn't plan where.

"We can meet up at my house." Sakata offered the idea to them.

They agreed to meet at the siblings house and parted ways as they said goodbye. They were excited for tomorrow, especially Mafu as he was going to set his plan in motion.
