Alright Usagi we're here, this store is where I buy my gears from maybe we can find something that your brother needs and then take it from there okay said Haruko. Yes, it's a great start because he's not really into anything else that I can think of said Usagi as they both entered the store.
When I'm thinking about an anniversary I'm thinking about something great like a basketball hoop what do you think ? Asked Haruko. Well that would be great however, its really expensive replied Usagi. Well, that's true. Then how about a new basketball shoe it wouldn't hurt to have an extra pair said Haruko.
That's a good idea but know my brother he'd probably say something like "why did you waste your allowance on something as unnecessary as that and your allowance is only for you" said Usagi mimicking her brother's voice. Um, you may be right I can totally imagine him saying that said Haruko as she laughed.
Alright I think that I've got some things in mind that's in budget. How about you get him a gym bag, along with an arm sleeve, a towel, a new basketball and a training jersey top, the combined cost of these items are not so expensive said Haruko. You're right I think these will do perfect plus his basketball is kinda worn out now so I'd say this is great said Usagi.
I also have something in mind for the training gear so let's get a marker for that okay. As both Usagi and Haruko where going to cash out the anniversary gifts for Tetsuo Usagi bumps into a tall figure standing at a hundred and ninety three centimeters almost falling to the ground.
Whoa, little miss, I caught you just in time so you're good said the tall guy. Yes, thank you so much for that said Usagi. Wait you are.... Kogure Kobayashi from Yokonan high said Haruko suprised. Yes, that's me but how do you know that? Asked Kogure. I was at the practice match that you play against Toshigawa replied Haruko. I remember now, you were that girl who was on the bench cheering for Tetsuo right? Asked Kogure.
Yes, that was me. I see, give Tetsuo this message for me the next time you see him. Tell him that I look forward to playing against him soon however, I will not loose said Kogure. I'll ensure that I tell him that, let's go Usagi said Haruko as they both walked off.
Wait, did she just say Usagi as in Usagi Kawaguchi said Kogure to himself shocked. She does resembles her alot too so she must be... Hey Kogure, what were you talking about with those girls? Asked Aoi. Well, funny story that smaller one is actually Tetsuo's little sister, we truly live in such a small world said Kogure.
What did you say that she's... said Aoi speechless. It's getting really dark, you shouldn't have walked me home said Usagi. That's okay I don't live that far away from this neighborhood, plus I have to ensure that you reach home safely. I see, thank you so much , you're really kind mumbled Usagi as she blushed.
We are here, this is where I lived said Usagi as she took out her key. So this is where Tetsuo lives , it's a pretty decent place said Haruko to herself. As soon as Usagi opened the door to the apartment she called out " I'm home big brother".
Tetsuo who heard his sister's voice walked out into the opening with onl a towel wrapped around him and another drying his hair. Welcome back Usagi, I prepared dinner today so you can relax okay. That's nice of you thanks bro said Usagi. Ahh!! Screamed Haruko as she blushed red and covered her face. He's not wearing anything and his body it's alot more refined than I thought said Haruko as she peaked through her fingers.
I didn't know that you have a guest over, you can come on inside if you like Haruko said Tetsuo as he went to put on his clothes. I'm so sorry about that Haruko since it's just the two of us living together he sort of gets comfortable as it pertains to walking out of the shower with only his towel said Usagi.
And you're not bothered by that? Asked Haruko. I mean, it's not an issue for me so I don't mind. And did you say that you guys live alone? What about your parents? Asked Haruko curiously. Well...I lost both my parents to a fire when I was just a little girl. I hardly remember their face and I have no recollection of the memories I had with them said Usagi sadly.
Oh, I didn't know, I apologize. That's okay, I'm doing just fine now because I have Tetsuo here with me so I'm happy. He takes care of everything for me, he buys all my necessities, pays all the bills and ensures that I'm comfortable. He may sometimes make me upset because he hardly shares how he feels but I know that he loves and cares for me from the bottom of his heart said Usagi.
You really have a great big brother Usagi. Yes, the best replied Usagi as she smiled.
Alright I'm done, are you staying for dinner Haruko? Asked Tetsuo. Um, if it's not a bother to you then sure.
Here I made miso soup and also some curry on rice, I added carrots and cabbages to it as well for a balanced meal. And also some sliced apples on the side said Tetsuo as he handed both Usagi and Haruko their share. This looks like a really simple meal but its really cute said Haruko to herself as she tasted the curry.
Wow, this is really good, my taste buds are on cloud nine said Haruko as she blushed surprised at Tetsuo's cooking skills. Your cooking is the best big brother, it makes me want to retire from the kitchen said Usagi with her cheek filled with food. No talking while you're eating Usagi said Tetsuo.
Okay!! Oh I almost forgot, I bought these for you said Usagi as she went for a shopping bag and gave it to Tetsuo. Tetsuo looks into the bag and sees the arm sleeve, gym bag, a pump, basketball and a towel. Tetsuo then walks over to Usagi and tapped her on the forehead.
I told you not to spend your allowance money on me and it was for anything that you want or may need in an emergency said Tetsuo. But today is our two year anniversary since we moved here so I wanted to suprise you with something special said Usagi with tears drop in her eyes.
She really put alot of thought into getting you a gift for the anniversary and it's not like you gave her much to work with so that's the only thing she could think of said Haruko. Tetsuo then opens the shopping bag and looked at the items that Usagi bought for him. After looking through his eyes were gravitated towards the words that Usagi wrote on the training Jersey. " Do your best with basketball big brother, I love you so much".
Tetsuo who was moved by this message said thank you to Usagi and embraced her with a hug. Big brother? Said Usagi shocked by her brother's hug. That's the first time in a longtime since you've hug me, I'm so happy said Usagi as she started crying tears of joy.
