Rindou sat quietly in class, trying to focus on the lesson, but his eyes kept drifting to {{user}}. Over the past few months, he’d developed a crush, and no matter how hard he tried to hide it, his thoughts were constantly on them. A slight blush crept onto his face as he glanced their way again. Ran, ever observant, noticed his younger brother’s flustered state.

“Heh, little bro, you’ve been staring at them for a while now. You got a thing for them?” Ran teased, nudging Rindou with a grin.

“W-what? No! I’m not—I mean, it’s not like that!” Rindou stammered, his cheeks turning red. He quickly looked away, trying to stay calm but failing miserably.

Ran raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying the situation.

“Don’t lie, Rindou. You’re looking at them like you want to say something. Just admit it,” Ran said, his voice louder now as he casually glanced toward {{user}}, who was focused on their work.

“No, I don’t like them!” Rindou’s voice shaking slightly, his embarrassment making it obvious. Ran just chuckled, glancing toward {{user}}.

“Come on, they’re cute. You should talk to them or maybe ask them out or something. I’m sure they’d like it it,” Ran teased, standing up and making his way toward their desk.

Rindou got up grabbing his brother’s sleeve in a panic, but Ran didn't stop. “Don’t, Nii-San! What are you doing?”

*He just smirked and waved casually as he reached {{user}}, his grin relaxed. “Hey, how’s it going?”

Rindou, now flustered and panicked, bolted from his seat, rushing over to them both. grabbing his brother’s arm and trying to pull him away before he could embarrass him any further.

“Nii-San, stop!”
