After listening to uncle Fujiwara's explanation of soul mates, Daiken got more clarity and a better understanding of his situation. As he went up to his room to change for the meet-up with Kunimichi-San, Aika and Haru came running behind him. Giving him a tight hug and a pat on the head which he had to bend down to their level, they help their big brother do something about his new hair color.
"Aniki! Why don't you wear a beanie? They are cute and go well with the clothes you have picked don't you think?" Aika suggested.
"Nah, I'm gonna have to remove it since I'll have to be changing." Daiken rejected.
While the two figuring out different methods on how to cover up Daiken's hair, Haru was struggling to make out the words he wanted to tell them and his nervousness wasn't helping at all. A few minutes later Haruto finally made his sentence.
"N-Nii-S-San H-how a-abou-about c-color-coloring y-your h-ha-hair w-wi-with s-sp-spray?" Haru asked in his timid, shy voice.
"Hm… that ain't a half-bad idea. Thank you, Haru." Daiken Nii-San replied. "But who has brown hair spray?
"I think I have some." Aika volunteered. "Let me go check."
While Aika scurried off to find the hair spray, Haruto went to find a towel to wrap around Daiken's neck for when they use the spray on his hair. Stood there as he watched his sweet, adorable siblings being so caring towards him gave him a bright smile on his face. Realizing that he has to get ready to leave, Daiken closed the door and changed his clothes.
Sitting patiently till Aika came with the brown hair coloring spray, Daiken and Haruto had gotten everything ready.
"Thank you, Haru," Daiken said breaking the silence. "You did amazing with your communication skills. Congrats."
Smiling brightly showing his perfect set of teeth, Haruto said "Th-Thank Y-You D-Dai-Daiken N-Nii-S-San."
While they continued their conversation, Aika came running carrying a large spray can that said 'Color fast' on the label over to her shy baby brother and caring big brother.
"Sorry, I'm late Nii-San and Haru." She said hastily dropping down the can and cloth onto the fluffy bed.
"It's fine Aika," Daiken said softly. "How long do you think it would take for it to dry?" He asked picking up the half-empty can of brown spray. "Also how did you find brown? Like it's the exact color of my hair." He continued puzzled.
"It'll take about half an hour for it to dry. You can walk without a cap, don't worry. For how I found brown… Do you remember the girl next door?"
"Lori? Didn't she move?" Daiken questioned thinking reminiscing about the past.
"Not her, Suzuki-San"
"Suzu- Ohhh Suzuki-Chan!" He said with a clap.
"Well not exactly Suzuki-San who gave the coloring to me her sister did, Nana-Chan. Now go sit on that chair over there." She said pointing to the small stool sitting in front of the dressing table.
"Ahh, I didn't have time to go see the new neighbors because of exams and matches," Daiken said
"Don't worry me and Haru told about you a lot. Right Haru?" Aika said looking at her twin before going back to attend to her older brother's now straight, silky, smooth silver hair that was exchanged for the right side of his bangs.
Slowly nodding to what his sister, Haruto put his left tiny baby hand to his big brother's knee and said "Yes Nii-Chan" with a big bright, sparkly smile that could heal the Earth and solve world hunger.
"Thank you, Aika, Haru," Daiken said closing his eyes so that his sister can spray the silver part. "I'm so blessed to have siblings like you guys."
"Nii-San Don't. Move."
"Sorry Imoto." He replied with a sheepish grin.
Fifteen minutes later, Aika Imoto had finished coloring her brother's hair while Haruto had gone down to complete his homework before heading for his weekend club activities. Tapping her brother on the shoulder to wake him up, Aika got down from the tiny chair that she was standing on to reach her brother with.
"Thank you, my sweet Imoto," Daiken said getting up and giving his sister tight hug. "Now where is my sweet ototo at?" He continued running downstairs to find his brother who was silently finishing his math homework.
"Nii-San," Haruto whispered.
"Ha~ru~to," Daiken said giving his brother a hug. "My sweet, sweet Haruto."
"I'll be going now," Daiken yelled before closing the door and leaving his house. Jumping over the short unnecessary gate that was right in front of his porch, he ran the rest of the journey to Kunimichi's house.
"I feel like the jacket isn't necessary," Daiken said to himself while he touched his hair to check if it had dried. A while after walking a familiar voice called out to him.
"Daiken?" The man was as Daiken correctly guessed, Shirogane Kousaki
Putting his hands in his pockets and trying his best not to show Kousaki-Chan that he was super ecstatic to him he replied with "Shirogane. What's up?"
-Why the heck was I so lame just now. Gah, he must think…. No Daiken it's gonna be ok. Aika and Haru say that you're an amazing brother. Believe in them.-
"Nothing much~ Heading to Kenichi's house. What about you?" He said getting closer to Daiken since the road was quite small.
-What the heellllll. He's so freaking closeeeee. Gahhhh. Wait. Chill. Calm down Souichi.-
"Oh, Don't think you know but Kenichi's home with Kunimichi. He goes there every weekend." Daiken replied puzzled since a lot of people know that Kenichi and Kunimichi hang out during the weekend at Kunimichi's place. Many have witnessed it.
"Really? Didn't know that." Kousaki said in embarrassment. "Mannnn should have asked for the address." He said face-palming himself.
-OH. MY. GOD. WHY IS HE SO CUTE. GAH I MIGHT DIEEEE. STAY STRONG ME. YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS. FIGHT.-
"Don't worry I heading there too you can come with me, Kou" Daiken said with a wide smile which was so hard.
-SHITTTT was that too much. WHY. THE. HECK. DID I CALL HIM A NICKNAME BY HIS GIVEN NAME. HIS FACE IS REDDDDD. -
'"By the way I-Ichi? what's up with your hair? why's the front part straight?" He asked trying to hide his blushing
-Goh, heart clench. I can see his blush. Freaking adorable. Reminds me of the time Haru called me Nii-San. Why the heck are they so cute. Imma die cause of you guys. ARE YOU GOING TO BE HAPPY?!-
"Nice, you called me Ichi." He Also for my hair, it's cause I wanted to try straightening it but it doesn't look that good, I guess?" He replied while rubbing the back of his neck.
-Forgive me, Shiro. No matter how much I really like you, I can never tell you about this. You're the closest I have to call a best friend.-
After they arrived at Kunimichi's house, Daiken rang the bell and Shirogane gave Kenichi a call. Footsteps of someone small were heard by Daiken before the door of the large bungalow open relieving a tiny boy with bleached hair except for the roots say a quiet "Hello, Welcome."
