The time when I forcibly slept with my friend's sister!

Yui: [Don’t laugh nor remain too serious, okay?]

Yui: [Look Nii-san, Senpai is already too stressed after the incident so please don’t make any unnecessary drama, alright?]

Yui: [Why aren’t you replying?!]

Yui: [Aww Senpai is even rehearsing…]

Yui: [Don’t you ruin this! I swear Nii-san, I will scratch your face till the point it bleeds.]

Ichinose couldn’t help chuckling as he read the messages sent by his sister one after another.

He was on the way toward Riku’s home with a backpack hung over his shoulders.

He had already told his parents about his and Yui’s stay at Riku’s place, and considering the circumstances, they also didn’t prohibit it.

The only thing his mother warned Ichinose about was Yui and her closeness to Riku. She was aware of Yui’s attraction toward Riku but the older woman was worried that Yui might end up doing something foolish now that they were living together.

Well, his mother would surely have a small heart attack when she hears how far Yui has already reached in her relationship with her precious Senpai.

‘So he finally has steeled his ball eh?’

Ichinose couldn’t help smirking as he made his way in a little haste.

[Riku’s POV:]

Despite how reliant and confident I acted in front of Yui, I was still nervous. And seeing Ichinose’s unusually serious expression my anxiety only elevated.

Yui was standing near the door of my room with Ichinose sitting on the chair while facing me.

With my leg hanging down the bed, I clutched the edge of the sheets before speaking up, “Ichi…please hear me out, to the end, alright?”

Hearing my words, he raised his brows before nodding in assent. His hands crossed on his chest…which made him look even more intimidating.

‘Okay, now calm down and voice it all…’ I have already prepared what I have to say to convince Ichinose to let me date his sister.

It wasn’t an easy task and I expected some beating from the guy. Yui ensured that Ichi wouldn’t hit me considering my condition but I knew him better than, probably anyone.

Regardless, I took a long deep breath before voicing the words I intended to tell him a while back,

“I am dating Yui…it’s been some days since we started going out but I got the chance to tell you now…”

With my head hanging low, I muttered under my breath, “I am sorry…”

A heavy silence descended in the room as I looked back at him in the eyes, realizing that he indeed didn’t take it lightly, unlike what Yui said.

With his eyes narrowed, Ichinose’s sharp voice reached my senses, “Didn’t you consider her as your sister…then how come?”

I knew this would be coming. Ichinose trusted me with Yui since he knew I always treated her like a sister. Either because I didn’t want to sour my friendship with Ichinose or I feared that I might go after Yui if I didn’t commit myself as her brother, I have always treated her just like a sibling, nothing more.

Initially, I was attracted to her so I created a wall that I wouldn’t ever dare to cross. But alas…

“Nii-san, why-”

“Don’t come between us, Yui. Behave.”

Ichinose’s unusually strict tone made Yui flinch before she glared at her brother and gave me an apologetic look as she stepped back.

It was good that she didn’t intervene or I might haven’t bring myself to tell Ichinose, the whole truth.

“I don’t know…I just felt attracted to her even though I tried convincing myself otherwise. And after finding that Yui also harbors feelings for me…I just…”

“You just wasn’t able to hold yourself?”

My eyes widened before I darted my eyes toward Ichi, who still wore that serious look.

However, prying through his prude way of putting it like that, and taking the essence of his words into consideration, he wasn’t wrong about it.

“Yeah…it was like that.”

“Hmmm….” I had no idea what that humm meant but for the first time, I have ever felt this ashamed yet at the same time confident in my life.

Whatever happens today, or what Ichinose says about my relationship with Yui, it won’t change the fact that I like her and nothing could make me break up with her.

After a brief silence, Ichinose called out; not for me but rather, “Yui…I do trust Riku but I want to hear it from you.”

I turned to look at the surprised Yui whose gaze was fixed on her brother before she nodded for him to continue.

“You aren’t being forced into this relationship, right? I mean any kind of burden that is driving you to be with Riku?”

A chill ran down my spine hearing that. It felt, for a moment, that the world had shattered right before my eyes and the only person I could see was Yui.

It was like Ichinose knew everything that happened between me and Yui that night and how we ended up dating so suddenly which made him ask something like this.

…what if Yui tells him the truth?

Truth be told, for a moment, such a thought passed through my mind but when I saw Yui’s determined gaze I felt my heart calming down.

‘Seriously, what was I thinking…’ Brushing away my needless thought I focused back on Yui as I saw her parting her lips and relaying her response.

“Nothing Senpai would do to hurt me nor he force me to go out with him. Rather it was I who confessed to him so yeah, this relationship is consensual as it seems, Nii-san.”

Her tone was a little harsh but she made it clear how we were naturally in a relationship.

I felt slightly embarrassed to see how bold she was with her confession yet here I was…

“Hmm, so it seems…”

Ichinose got up from his seat saying so before he glanced at Yui for a moment.

The atmosphere currently in the room was like I and Yui were under police interrogation or sort.

The tension remained for another couple of seconds before Ichinose sighed as he advanced in my direction, with his words following, “Truth be told, if I could have allowed Yui to date someone then it would have been someone like you, Riku.”

I couldn’t help smiling at his words, breathing a sigh of relief…only to widen my eyes upon witnessing the incoming punch.

“However, I couldn’t forgive you for betraying my trust!”

*Smack*

****

A/N:- Oof…Yui ain’t gonna like the behavior, Ichinose.
