Work Text:
Shiho was relaxing in her bedroom, practicing a song on her bass, when a gentle knock sounded at her door.
"Shii-chan?" The door opened and Shizuku's head poked into the room.
"What do you want, Shizuku." Shiho looked up from her bass, a bit annoyed that she had been interrupted.
"Airi-chan is staying over tonight, so I thought I would let you know."
"Okay." Airi poked her head into the room as well and waved, before both girls left to do whatever they were going to do before interrupting Shiho's practice session.
Shiho continued to practice. After a little while, she sighed and put the bass back into its case, before walking off to the kitchen to grab a snack. She stared at the cabinets for a little while before grabbing a cup of instant ramen, beginning to boil the water for the noodles. It wasn't as good as ramen from an actual restaurant, but it would do this late at night, and her parents weren't home to cook anything anyways.
The water boiled and Shiho poured it over her noodles, before sitting down for a couple minutes and taking out her phone, opening up the Leo/need groupchat.
Shiho 10:12 PM
hello.
Saki 10:12 PM
hiii shiho! what's up?
Shiho 10:13 PM
needed something to do while i wait for my noodles to cook
Ichika 10:13 PM
wow, our shiho actually taking a break? is this an imposter? what happened to your practice?
Saki 10:13 PM
sus
Shiho chose to ignore that.
Shiho 10:13 PM
even i need to eat sometimes, ichika
Ichika 10:13 PM
well it's good that you're taking care of yourself
Saki 10:14 PM
yeah! we don't want shiho to die!
Shiho 10:14 PM
i'm not going to die. also i think my noodles are done, so i'll talk later
Saki 10:14 PM
ok byeeee!
Shiho set her phone down and opened up her cup of noodles. The warm scent of broth loaded with tons of salt hit her, and she chomped down on the first bite of noodles. Not bad, she supposed. She continued eating, and then she heard something. Something a little suspicious, coming from Shizuku's room, but she chose to ignore it. Then she heard it again.
Oh my god.
Shiho's head hit the table. Clearly, Airi and Shizuku were doing something that Shiho had absolutely no desire to know about. (Board games. They were obviously playing board games.) She looked down at her cup of noodles, appetite gone. Sighing loudly, she lifted another bite to her mouth anyways, as it would go to waste if she didn't eat it. Shiho slurped the noodles loudly, trying to block out the noises but to no avail. She picked up her phone again.
Shiho 10:21 PM

Ichika 10:22 PM

Saki 10:22 PM
HEY! NO BAD WORDS IN FRONT OF HONA- wait what?
Shiho: 10:23 PM
honami isn't even here right now
Honami 10:23 PM
What are you guys talking about?
Saki 10:23 PM
nothing :D
Honami 10:24 PM
Well, okay then. I was just about to go to sleep, but I thought I'd check in on all of you.
Shiho 10:24 PM
why do you sleep at 10:30 in the pm
Honami 10:24 PM
It's good to have a consistent sleep schedule.
Shiho 10:25 PM

Ichika 10:26 PM

Saki 10:26 PM
mood
Honami 10:26 PM
I am suddenly concerned for all of you.
Shiho 10:27 PM
just go to sleep, honami.
Honami 10:27 PM
Okay, good night everybody!
Shiho looked up from her phone, and sat there for a few minutes, contemplating her life decisions and what she had done to deserve this. The sounds coming from Shizuku's room had increased in both volume and frequency. Her phone buzzed again.
Saki 10:31 PM
is she gone
Ichika 10:31 PM
i think so. anyways, f in the chat for shiho
Saki 10:31 PM
f
Shiho 10:32 PM
thanks guys. i think i'm just going to try and get some homework done.
Ichika 10:32 PM
okay, good luck! if you need to complain, we're always here for you!
Shiho smiled to herself, before setting the chopsticks in the sink and heading back to her room, which was unfortunately right next to Shizuku's. She could still hear those sounds emanating from Shizuku's room. Deciding that she did not have the energy to confront her sister right now, she simply picked up her headphones, turned them up as loud as possible, hearing damage be damned, and played some music. Shiho picked up her homework and began to work. Even though the music was a little distracting, it was better than having to listen to that.
After about an hour and a half, Shiho decided to stop working and took her headphones off. Silence. Shiho gave a sigh of relief. She walked off to the bathroom to prepare for bed. After she was finished, she walked back to her room and laid down on the bed, closing her eyes.
Only for them to fly open in a few moments when another sound was heard, this time much louder. Shiho let out a groan of frustration and covered her ears, face buried in her pillow. Unfortunately, blocking out the sound in this way did not help. Through the walls, she could hear a muffled voice.
"Shizuku, it's okay to be a little louder. It's hot, you know~" Shiho wanted to strangle Airi. Her sister's noises increased in volume.
Shiho got out her headphones once more and put them in, then opened up the groupchat.
Shiho 12:10 AM
are any of you awake right now
Saki 12:11 AM
yesssss!
Ichika: 12:11 AM
i am awake as well
Shiho 12:11 AM
do you want to video call
Ichika: 12:12 AM
ok
Saki: 12:12 AM
i can call too!
Shiho tapped the call button and in a couple moments, Ichika and Saki's faces popped up on screen.
"Do you want to hear the shit I'm dealing with right now?" Shiho grumbled to her friends, quietly. She paused for a moment, and soon enough, the sounds came through the walls again. Ichika and Saki's faces quickly changed to ones of horror.
"Yikes." Saki nodded in agreement with Ichika. The three of them just sat there for a little while, before suddenly, Honami's face also popped up on screen. Honami's eyes seemed droopy and her hair was unkempt.
"Hona, I thought you had a good sleep schedule." Ichika teased.
"I did have a good sleep schedule until you all started blowing up my phone with texts and calls." Honami looked like she wanted to fall right back asleep but then a particularly loud noise sounded through Shiho's room.
"What the-"
"Honami, I'm pretty sure my sister is-"
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT!" Honami's face was red. Ichika and Saki looked like they were holding back laughter. The four of them sat there for a little while, just staring at each other while Shizuku and Airi continued to do whatever they were doing in the background.
A loud knock sounded through Shiho's phone.
"Who's knocking is that?" Ichika questioned.
"Oh, I think it's me. Wait here guys." It looked like Saki set her phone down and went to open up the door of her bedroom.
The door opened and a voice spoke.
"UHH. HELLO. SAKI." Tsukasa's voice was loud as usual, and the three girls looked at each other in confusion over the call.
"Why are you being so loud?" Saki questioned.
"..."
"Tsukasa?"
Then, in the smallest, quietest voice that Shiho had ever heard, from Tenma Tsukasa of all people, he whispered,
"Saki, are you watching porn?"
"NO?!? WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?" Saki yelled, shocked. Shiho couldn't see Saki's face from this angle, but she could assume it was quite red right now.
"Well- I just heard- something- and I thought-"
"OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH TSUKASA BYEEE-" Saki began to shove Tsukasa out of her room. Shiho looked at Ichika, who looked like she was holding back tears of laughter, and Honami, who was facedown on her desk.
"You're uh, a growing young lady, and it's natural to have these urges-" Saki shoved Tsukasa out of her room and slammed the door shut.
"Saki?" Shiho said, once Saki had returned to her phone.
"...yes?"
"Get a pair of headphones." Saki got up and got a pair of headphones. The four friends continued to stare at each other before Shiho stood up.
"Okay. You know what. They need to stop right now. Or else I will go insane." Shiho left her bedroom, her bandmates cheering her on. She walked over to Shizuku's door. Taking a deep breath, she raised her fist.
"ONEE-CHAN, OPEN UP!" Shiho slammed her fist, loudly, on the wood frame of Shizuku's door. Glancing down at her phone, everyone seemed to jump at Shiho's exclamation. A few moments passed, then the door slid open and Shizuku stepped outside.
"Shii-chan?" Shizuku's voice was hoarse, she was missing her top, and she seemed to be covering something on her neck. Shiho tried her best not to stare.
"Would you please shut the fuck up?" Shiho begged. Shizuku turned bright red.
"Ah- of course, Shii-chan, I'll just-"
"Please stop it." Shiho turned away from Shizuku, then paused. She turned around and poked her head into Shizuku's room. Spotting her target, she glared at Airi.
Shiho drew her finger across her throat, growled, and exited Shizuku's room.
"Well. I guess that it's over now." Ichika commented.
"I hope so." Honami still looked mildly scandalized.
"I'm going to try to get some rest now."
"Okay, good night Shiho!" Saki chirped.
As Shiho settled back into her covers, she closed her eyes once more. However, she forgot to end the call, and unfortunately...
"SAKI! I BROUGHT YOU SOME CONDOMS!"
"TSUKASA!"
