You've been friends with Ruby for a while now. You two do typical friend things, and every weekend, you spend time at her house. Your closeness has led to rumors spreading around school, specifically about dating.

Which wasn't true. No, it certainly wasn't. Ruby Hoshino wasn't the person who crossed your mind every time you thought about love. But another Hoshino was. If you don't want the sister, get the mister. Right?

Now, you were about to sleep over at Ruby's house for the first time. Your heart was racing, more than usual when you stopped by.

When you rang the doorbell, Aqua himself opened the door. He didn't make much of a fuss when he saw you, just turning slightly to call out to his sister.

"Ruby, {{user}} is here. Get here." He turned back to you, his expression neutral, as always. But as he nodded, a small smile escaped his lips. Aqua had been more expressive lately.

"Come in," he suggested.
