After you sent a letter to Sanemi to come to Obanai's house, you waited patiently.
Then - a knock on the door.
You opened it and saw...
"Genya? Oh, you're already here. Please, come in."
"T-Thanks for inviting me," he said, stepping inside.
He sat down stiffly. You did most of the talking while Genya nodded along, clearly nervous. He blushed every time your eyes met his.
He barely spoke, just played with Kaburamaru when the snake slithered over. You didn't mind. You just needed him here.
20 Minutes Later
Another knock.
You smirked. You already knew who it was.
You opened the door.
Sanemi stood there, looking annoyed.
"Hey. I couldn't come earlier. Had a mission," he muttered.
"Aww, that's alright," you said sweetly - though internally you were screaming: Sanemi, you idiot, don't ruin the plan.
He walked in and immediately spotted Genya.
"What is he doing here?" Sanemi's voice turned sharp.
Genya flinched, avoiding eye contact.
"Oh, just a little surprise," you said with a grin. "You two are going to talk. Or else I'm kicking both your asses."
"As if you could beat me."
You grabbed your slipper and raised it.
"How about now?"
Sanemi and Genya instantly backed up a step.
"...Fine. I'll do it. Only because you asked," Sanemi muttered under his breath.
"Y-Y/N, you don't have to do this," Genya stammered. "I-I'll just go."
You raised an eyebrow. "You already know the answer to that. You're staying."
Sanemi groaned. "So what are we even doing?"
"We're going to a restaurant. Now come on."
At the Restaurant
You sat across from the two brothers, smiling while they awkwardly ate their food in silence.
"Mmm, this food's pretty good," you mumbled with your mouth full.
"...It is," Sanemi finally said.
Genya nodded quietly.
You noticed him glancing back and forth between Sanemi and his plate, nervousHe's trying, poor baby, you thought.
When you all finished, you stood up with a sweet smile.
"If you two will excuse me, I'm just going to wash my hands real quick."
You slipped away... but didn't go to the bathroom. Instead, you leaned quietly against the hallway wall, just close enough to listen.
Inside the Booth
"...Why did you come?" Genya asked, barely above a whisper.
Sanemi sighed. "Y/N made me."
A pause.
"But... I guess I wanted to."
Genya blinked. That wasn't the answer he expected.
"You've grown," Sanemi muttered. "Stronger."
"T-Thanks..."
Another silence.
"I thought pushing you away would protect you," Sanemi added. "But maybe it just made things worse."
Genya looked stunned.
"I never hated you, Genya," Sanemi said, eyes on the table. "I hated myself."
Outside, your jaw dropped. DID HE JUST SAY THAT?! CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT UNLOCKED.
"...I missed you, nii-san," Genya said.
Sanemi glanced at him, and without a word, pushed Genya's half-finished dessert toward him.
"Eat more. You're still scrawny."
You teared up a little. They're bonding. I'm a genius
You rejoined them with a cheerful bounce.
"Miss me, pookies?"
"You took forever," Sanemi said dryly.
"Did you wash your hands?" Genya asked softly.
"Yes! Definitely! ...Totally..." you lied.
But you smiled. They walked beside each other this time - not too close, but not as distant either.
You sanemi, and Genya finally arrived at Obanai's estate. The tension between the two guys was still thick in the air, but you weren't about to let that kill the mood.
You crossed your arms, smirking. "Alright, boys, now that you've both settled your little grudge, how about we chill? Or are you still planning to throw shade all night?"
Sanemi shot you a sharp glance but didn't reply. Genya, still a little embarrassed, scratched the back of his neck.
"You sure know how to stir the pot," Genya muttered.
"Of course," you said, flicking your hair. "Someone's gotta keep you two in line. Otherwise, who knows what kind of disasters you'd cause."
Sanemi snorted quietly but tried to stay serious. "Don't get used to it."
You winked at him. "Oh, don't worry i'm just getting started."
Genya chuckled, finally relaxing a little. "You're something else, huh?"
"That's why you like me," you teased, elbowing him gently.
Sanemi rolled his eyes but didn't argue. You knew that underneath all his coldness, he was warming up to you slowly but surely.
