Sibling Date
"Guess who I am?"
While Alex was sitting on the bench, someone covered his eyes.
"Hey sis, stop it!"
"You are incorrect! I am not your sister; I am your big sister!"
Hearing the familiar voice, he reveals her, but she chooses to respond in a nonsensical manner.
Maroon hair with ponytail is her today's hair style.
Her name is Alicia Hambell, and she is his older sister.
"Hey, do not rub your face on me!"
"No, you are my younger brother, so I have the right to do this.
"Okay, but please not in public."
"Why are you so shy? Reject!"
She continues to rub her cheek against him.
Despite the fact that they are brothers and sisters, he could not help but be aware of her, especially since she smelled good.
'Lavander…'
He shook his head immediately, fearing he would think something inappropriate.
It took her a minute to decide to let him go.
"Hmph! I will listen to you for now."
"Thank you. Anyway, I need to go to the restroom for a moment."
"All right, sure. I will wait for you here."
He quickly bolted to the closest restroom to give himself time to cool off.
Alicia is arching an eyebrow at his back.
"I touched something hard earlier… Was there something like a stick on him?"
Though she considers what that thing might be, she chooses to move on.
…
After he returned, they decided to begin their adventure.
"To infinity and beyond!"
"…"
There is complete silence when she raises her arms like a superhero.
"Why are you in that weird stance, sis?"
"Hmph! What a bummer! One point deducted for being a gentleman. By the way, if it drops to zero, you will never have a girlfriend in your life."
"What the hell? What kind of curse is that?"
"That is not a curse. I am your personal gentleman scouter. Of course, this also means that I am on your personal girlfriend radar. Whoever gets my blessing will be your girlfriend."
"That is kinda… excessive, sis, but what if you do not give your blessings to anyone?
"Simple. I will marry you and you will become my wife."
"Am I supposed to be the husband? Heck! What am I talking about? You are my sister! Anyway, are we going now or not?"
"You are the gentleman. Take the lead."
Her tone is high and mighty while smirking, but he will not deny that it is very like her.
He takes a moment to breathe, thinking she is been very active today.
He would not lie, but he was also happy because it had been a long time since they had bonded.
However, Alex understands that this feeling stems from memories he received from Alex Hambell, but since becoming him, he has decided to embrace it.
When he extended his hands to her, the atmosphere changed dramatically in Alicia's eyes.
Everything began to slow down.
All she sees in her eyes is Alex, and Alex alone.
Happiness and sadness mix as she accepts his hands, but when she touches them, the sadness fades and everything returns to normal.
…
Mall.
Since vacation began, the siblings decided to go to the beach next week.
However, Alicia does not want to wear an old swimsuit, so she lets him "voluntarily" carry her shopping bags today.
It started with one or two bags, but now his left arm is mostly full of bags.
"Hey, Sis, I thought we were here to buy you a swimsuit, so what are these clothes for?"
"Oh, that! My friend is hosting an evening ball party the day after tomorrow. It would be a shame not to buy a new dress after she invited me, right?"
"Right, my ass! I thought we came here for your swimsuit? Also, this bag is not for just one dress, okay? You also purchase some scarves, jackets—"
"For winter."
"—shirts,—"
"It is the current trend."
"—and make-ups!"
"It is a female's lifeline. Anyway, do not be mad! Here, I can also get you some clothes."
"No, I would never enter that shop! After all, I would still be the one to carry those bags, right? I want to complain about forced labor to the law, and I want justice!"
There is a passion for his voice, but it quickly fades when she yells his full name.
"Alex Hambell!"
"YES!"
He straightened his back like a soldier saluting a superior officer.
"Good. Now let us enter."
"…"
Alex was unable to escape his fate.
…
"Do not worry, this is the last store, I promise!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Look at this. I am letting you pick my swimsuit. Are you excited?"
"No, let us end this now. It is almost noon."
"Yeah, yeah. As your prize today, I will treat you to lunch."
"Really?"
"Yeah, just bark once, and I will do it."
"Then, sorry, I am going to decline your offer."
"It is just a joke. Do not be serious. Anyway, place the bags in the corner."
"People may steal it."
"No, they won't. There is a guard specifically for this job. Look at the lady in the corner."
He saw a woman in the corner and waved her hand at him.
She seems to be a very outgoing person.
"Anyway, just put down there because I want you to pick out a swimsuit for me."
"Huh? I thought it was a joke?"
"When I said you would, I meant you would. Is that clear?"
Alex had no idea where this was coming from, but since he was hungry, he did not think much and placed the bags on the corner.
The woman gives him a number card and places the bags in a container labeled with the same number as his.
Returning to her side, he anticipated being excited to enter this type of store, but it appears that Alex Hambell is accustomed to this location.
"It might be because of his sister."
"Alex, which one is best suited to me? This or this?"
She displays two hangers with different swimsuits: a flowery white two-piece and a red and black two-piece.
Honestly, he would prefer a red and black two-piece, but she is not his girlfriend, and he does not want anyone to get too close to his sister.
"The flowery one"
"I see... then I am going to buy both of them."
He felt the urge to spit blood.
"Then why the hell am I here?"
"What? Are you not excited to go on a date with a beautiful girl like me? Everyone wanted to be close to me, so be grateful."
"But I am your brother!"
"It is the same thing! This is a sibling date. End. Period."
And she enters the fitting room.
"…"
He is not sure why, but his sister is being too bossy today.
Despite this, he admits that he enjoys their bonding.
