rin doesn’t understand your crush on his older brother, sae
in fact, it agitates him. so much that you, his best friend, out of all people, “betrayed him like that” (as what rin likes to claim)
“you need to stop that” rin grumbles, eyes boring holes at the side of your head as you have a stupid grin on your face
“stop what?”
“that stupid face you make when sae is around” 
you let out a small gasp, a look of disbelief all over your face. “i do not make a face!”
rin rolls his eyes, “you just did. it’s annoying”
“only annoying to you because it’s sae” you snicker, nudging your shoulder with his. 
it has always been like this between you and the infamous itoshi brothers. rin being slightly jealous when your attention is at sae's instead of him. 
maybe rin is scared that sae would probably take you away from him, as corny as it is. rin treasures you a lot as you are, if not, his only “close” friend that he considers
almost as if the universe was against rin, his infamous brother walks in the room
"mom wants you to defrost the chicken" sae says, not even bothering to look up from his phone. rin grunts, his way of saying that he got the memo
but of course, much to rin's inner protests that you’d just sit there and keep quiet, you just had to greet sae
"hey sae" you chirp, waving shyly at the older male
to your surprise, sae actually looks up for once from his phone and meets your eye. he's not really surprised that you're at their house.. again... for what seems like the nth time... to sae, you're probably at their house more than he is
"oh, hello" sae nods his head up, a simple gesture but enough to send your heart flying
when sae disappears from your line of sight, you turn to rin who had his signature scowling face looking right back at you
"he said hello to me!!" you gush, smacking rin's arm multiple times. even biting his shoulder to control your excitement. 
"that's because you greeted him, dumbass" rin smacks your face with a nearby throw pillow, sending you back to the couch.
"did you have to hit me?!" you complain, laying still with the pillow still at your face. you barely hear rin murmur, "you deserve it" before smacking him in return
"don't you have a chicken to defrost?!" 
Tumblr media
“thank you for having me over, mrs. itoshi, it’s been a while since i stayed over for dinner” you smile at the woman beside you, “but please, the least i could i do is wash the dishes” 
mrs. itoshi waves you off with a smile, “don’t be ridiculous, dear. you’re the guest here besides i have two boys who can do it for me as well” she motions behind her, pertaining to both sae and rin washing and drying off the dishes behind her. which in all honesty, was a sight to see.
“hurry up, jackass” sae nags rin, who was in charge of washing the dishes
“then switch places with me, bitch” rin barks back, sending daggers through his eyes
mrs. itoshi smiles apologetically at you, “sorry for the boys. you know how they are sometimes” she shakes her head before calmly lecturing the two boys about cursing each other.
the pair finish up the dishes and everything from the kitchen to the dining room is clean, mr. and mrs. itoshi already went up to their room while you and the brothers are currently in the living room, the tv serving its purpose as background noise as everyone was on their phones.
“ah shit, it’s late” you cursed, realizing the clock was almost at 11 o’clock.
“you dumbass, i’ll walk you home” rin says, getting up from the couch. you also started to gather your things so you could finally go home before sae intervenes. 
“i can drive you home” sae stands up, looking between you and his brother.
there was a moment of silence after he said that. rin looking like his eyes were about to pop from his sockets, you looking equally as shocked as rin, and sae who has his usual resting bitch face
“i’m heading over to the convenience store anyway, if you’re that wary of me” sae shrugs, directing the last sentence to rin who now has a dirty look on his face
rin looks at you for your decision. technically, this wasn’t up for their debate. so, do you choose rin, your friend, or sae, your long time crush who just so happens to be rin’s older brother. you know it to your bones that if you choose sae right now, rin might take it negatively and probably ignore you for a while but when will you ever have this kind of opportunity again? 
somehow rin already knew what your answer was. he knew that no matter how hard he protests about you liking his brother, there was nothing he could do. probably to ban you from coming over if sae’s home at least
“why won’t you two drop me off instead?” you suggest, trying to win the best of both worlds. sae could drop you off, rin is also with him and they could eventually bond over this and get themselves something at the convenience store. hitting two birds with one stone right? instead you were met with gagging sounds from the pair
“.. ew” sae makes a disgusted face
“and be alone with him?!” rin almost sounded like he was offended with your suggestion (he was)
you rolled your eyes at how dramatic the two were. 
“fine. i’m going with sae then” you deadpan, poking your tongue out at rin who was beginning to sulk. sae whistles lowly at your answer, grabbing the car keys just by the door and starts the car.
you walk past rin who didn’t even look at you with yes, you guessed it, another scowl on his face. 
“text me when you get home safe at least” he clicks his tongue in annoyance but you know he means well
you laugh, pushing his shoulders lightly. “i owe you for this” you wink, pointing towards the direction where sae was at while wiggling your eyebrows.
rin makes a face and shoos you out of their house.
with that, you rushed towards the black audi rs7 waiting by the driveway. sat at the driver’s seat was no other than sae itoshi. who is leaning next to the window with his free hand tapping random beats at the bottom of the steering wheel.
the sound of the passenger car opening and closing while you got inside broke his trance.
“good to go?” sae merely asks, but it made you jump. you managed to squeak out a small “yes” before he puts the car in reverse. you tried so hard to conceal your squeal when sae unexpectedly had his arm on the back of your headrest as he backs out of their driveway. you steal a glance when he was busy trying not to bump into their other cars.
the way his jaw clenches when he’s concentrating. the way his eyebrows were furrowed as he focuses. the way—
“take a picture, it’d last longer” sae says smugly, not even sparing you a look. you nearly choke on your own spit as that simple sentence sends you into a coughing spree.
“the fuck? you okay?” sae mused, taking a quick look at your slouched figure at the passenger seat as you try to catch your breath. 
“i’m fine” you let out, not daring to make another sound. 
the car falls silent, much to your relief. you take this opportunity to think about about how you managed to snag an opportunity of a lifetime to be alone with sae. your biggest crush. the sae itoshi who is probably, if not the most famous soccer player at your local college
the silence is cut short when sae suddenly connects his phone to the speakers and starts blasting songs from his playlist.
“the weekend? really sae?” you raised a brow, totally not digging his music taste. 
“what about it?”
“nothing. i thought you could do better” you shrug, slumping back to your seat as after hours plays in the background
“get out of the car then” sae threatens but you know he was joking. there was a distinctive tone he uses when he was actually being bitchy or just making a sarcastic remark or as he likes to call em, a “joke”
“okay, pull over”
your response sent sae laughing which was honestly, a rare sight to see. you two shared the same dry humor after all. only you could reply with something witty and not be offended when he starts talking shit.
that’s when you noticed that he was taking another route to your house.
“this isn’t the street to my house..” you say, a bit worried. because one, it was reaching 11:30. second, it was a school night. third, your mom is probably still awake, waiting for your ass to come home from the itoshi’s.
“i know”
you look at him in disbelief, eyes wide and all. sae only gives you his signature half smile.
“i’m just taking a detour to the convenience store, relax” 
“but my mom is gonna kill me that i got home so late” you try to reason but sae doesn’t listen. he shrugs and continues to drive at the nearby 7/11 a few blocks from your place. 
after what feels like an eternity, you two arrive at the convenience store.
“you coming?” sae unbuckles his seatbelt and turns to you. you shake your head no as you were busy to come up with a bullshit excuse to tell your mom on why you’re late
“okay, i’ll be quick” with that, sae closes the door and goes inside to buy his stuff. much like a man of his word, he was in fact quick with his little convenience store run. he came back holding a plastic bag and a lollipop in his mouth
“what’d you get?” you ask, taking a peek at the plastic. inside you notice some canned beers, some junk food and a muffin? 
“why did you buy a muffin at this hour?” you ask, trying not to let a giggle escape. sae eats muffins with beer?
“a little present for you mom” he casually says, his head turning both ways as he makes his way out of the 7/11 parking lot
he got a what for you mom?
“a present? what? why?” you blurt out. sae gives you a side glance before taking out the lollipop that was in his mouth.
“for bringing you home so late” 
sae has always been a man with little to no words. his replies are always so brief and concise that he leaves you no room to question him whatsoever
shocked by his actions, you sit there stunned and confused. your heart was beating faster than ever and you think you may or may not have just fallen for him a little bit harder
Tumblr media
sae parks the car just right in front of your house. it was already 12:03 in the morning and you were probably the most nervous you’ve ever been. sae does the courtesy of ringing your doorbell and waits for your mother to come out and unlock the gate.
you see your mother stomping her way at the front door, causing sae to snicker. even if this was entirely his fault for bringing you home so late.
“you really had the nerve to even come home at this hour you— sae? is that you?” your mom starts to nag but gets cut off when she notices someone familiar standing right next to you.
“hello, mrs. l/n” sae bows in front of your mother. to which the latter comes up and gives him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“sae it really is you! it’s been so long my dear! how have you been? when did you come back in town?” your mom starts asking him a bunch of questions all at once. 
did your mom’s anger really just disappear into mid air the moment she saw sae?
“i actually just got back earlier today, that’s why y/n here came home so late ‘cause we were celebrating back at home” sae sheepishly smiles, hands both resting behind his head.
it was actually weird for you to witness sae to be so.. polite? he usually has an attitude and has no problem treating even older people like shit. so it was actually surprising to see him be so chummy with anyone besides his mom of course, let alone your own mother
“oh and i got you this by the way” sae digs through the plastic bag and fishes out the muffin that he got at 7/11.
what a way to win your mom over, huh? 
“oh sae, you didn’t have to” your mom gushes, waving him off but you can see she was really touched by the thoughtfulness behind it. 
sae smiles a little before checking the time on his phone. “i’ll get going now mrs. l/n”
your mom agrees and apologizes for keeping him around longer than intended to which sae just shrugs and laughs it off, telling her that he doesn’t mind and that he actually wanted to personally visit her (which was obviously a blatant lie, but at least now you know how much of a smooth talker sae really is)
sae gets inside his car, ready to drive off but before he does. he rolls down his window
“i’ll see you again, y/n” he winks at you before giving your mom a knowing smile as she looks between the two of you.
you are flabbergasted at what he just did. “mom- it’s not what you think-” 
“drive safe, sae!” your mom waves goodbye as sae honks his horn before driving away to who knows where.
your mom watches as the car slowly disappears from your street before turning her attention back at you. 
“he’s such a sweet boy, no?” she comments as she smiles at the little muffin sae just gifted her. 
you don’t even know how to react with everything that just happened. cause you only had one question in mind.
what the fuck was that about?
