Machida Yuki

"AKANE!"

"AKANE!"

"Sigh… He did it again" A short girl with straight red hair tied in a ponytail and wearing an apron sighed and put down her cooking knife. She took off her apron and turned off the stove before she skillfully served the miso soup in 7 bowls.

"Nee-chan do you want me to wake him up? He's probably pulled up an all-nighter... again" Her little sister asked her without taking her eyes off the TV

"I'll do it. Go wake up your brothers and sisters and then take a shower. Your school is closer so you still have time" The redhead washed her hands and dried them before walking up the stairs.

"Hmmkay~" The younger girl replied offhandedly before looking back at the tv.

*****

The red hair arrived in front of a door and entered without knocking.

She looked at the room that was full of whiteboards and papers filled with lines of code and rubbed the bridge of her nose in frustration, "Really? I cleaned the room just yesterday evening!"

*Zzzz*

She glanced with deadpan eyes at the young man sprawled on his desk with his upper body bare revealing his sculpted body and 8 pack. Coupled with his neck-length black/red hair and his handsome face, he was the definition of ikemen.

But unlike any other Japanese high school girl, she didn't blush nor gawk at him. Instead, she sighed and put a blanket over him before she cleaned the rest of the room.

5 minutes later, she clapped her hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand before she approached the sleeping teen.

"Akane! Akane! Wake up!" She nudged his shoulder slightly and tried to wake him up softly knowing that her cousin wasn't a morning person.

"5 more days" The young man grumbled and put the blanket over his head.

"You're a third-year now. You shouldn't stay up hacking all night!" The young girl reprimanded sternly as she took off the blanket making him wince as the sunlight attacked his face.

"If I don't hack regularly, my skills will suck" He waved his hand nonchalantly and continued with a tired voice "Yuki, you don't want your favorite nii-chan to be the best hacker in the world anymore?"

"School is more important" She lied. Yuki knew that her cousin, Akane, didn't need to go to school with all the money he earned.

In fact, he could do nothing and they would all still be able to live lavishly for the rest of their lives thanks to the risky investments he made in 2008 and how he invested in successful companies when they were just startups like Netflix and Uber.

He then used that money to have different sources of income, one of which is the thousands of bitcoins he currently owns.

Despite the fact that he often refused her praises and attributed it to luck, Yuki knew that her cousin/brother was a genius. After all, how can someone be lucky enough to become one of the 100 richest people in the world... with no one knowing about it?

Maybe the investments were lucky, but her brother's skills in hacking were the best of the best. Yuki wasn't nearly proficient enough in Informatique to make that judgment but since he was the one to tell her, she believed him. After all, the thing her brother hated the most was lying and being lied to.

Despite that, she still wanted him to attend school and enjoy his youth as much as he could.

"Always so serious~ Thank god your boyfriend managed to take out that stick up your ass" Akane mumbled with his eyes closed and tried to shoo her away with his hand.

*BOING*

"..."

*BOING*

"..."

Akane opened one of his red eyes and glanced at his hand that rested on his cousin's chest before uttering one word …

"Pettanko"

*BAM*

Akane hurriedly turned around and blocked the punch that was aiming for his chin with the palm of his hand.

"Fine, if you want it this bad, I'll let you touch mine as well" He sighed in resignation as if he was making a huge sacrifice and brought her hand to his pec "Happy?"

Yuki took a deep breath and tried her best to not lose her cool this early in the morning while looking at her cousin who was staring at her with his usual deadpan red eyes.

"Angh~ You can't Yuki! No matter how much we're attracted to each other we're still family" Akane moaned as he made her grope his peck with a straight face. But the slight curve of his mouth was all the young girl needed to know that her cousin was teasing her yet again

"Why are you moaning?" Tick marks appeared on Yuki's forehead "And more importantly… why is your hand still on my breast?!"

"Ah sorry. I didn't notice..." Akane raised an eyebrow and apologized genuinely which, for some reason, made Yuki even more pissed.

He then stood up and walked past her after patting her head while ignoring the sound of her teeth grinding against each other "Morning Yuki"

Yuki looked at his back and clenched her fists "Can't I get some rest? At school, it's bastard number two and at home, it's bastard number 1..."

The redhead scratched her hair in frustration and walked to the windows. She opened them letting the morning air fill the room.

"Fuuu~" She took a deep breath and noticed from the corner of her eyes a picture of their family on the night table. Yuki took it and smiled warmly seeing the smiles on all of them.

"Baka~" She chuckled and left the room after throwing a last glance at the bathroom.

Sure her cousin was a pain in the ass sometimes, but Yuki Machida would be lying if she said that he wasn't the person she was the closest to.
