Lunch interrupted

”Look man, I get it’s a classic, but it’s a bit overhyped, no?”

“Are you insane?” Sai’s brow furrows, staring at Erik with an almost offended look on his face. “10 wouldn’t even exist without the success of 7.”

“I mean. I doubt that. But yeah FF7 blew up the series, I think, but 10 is definitely the better game.”

“Only if you like boring turn based combat.” Sai remarks smugly, leaning back in the booth of the restaurant.

“Not this shit again.” Erik groans in response, “It’s FF, it’s ALL fucking turn based.”

“Not the new ones!”

“Who cares?! They’re mid anyway! The good ones are turn based!” Erik flaps his hands in frustration, “ATB is turn based in a more active font.”

“It’s better is what it is.”

“Debatable. I like the press turn system.”

“Press turn?”

“Yeah, you know, SMT and stuff?”

“Oh high school sim slop?”

Erik grumbles as he puts a fry into his mouth, “You’re actually the worst person alive.”

“Worse than the big Yahu?” Sai sneers.

Erik groans, lifting his hands to rub his eyes before dragging them down his face in frustration, “Christ alive, mate.”

Erik snickers as he watches Erik fall for his rage bait. “Agree to disagree?”

“No. Fuck you.”

“You’r only mad because of what happened after indoor the other night.” Sai baits.

Erik completely livid now rolls his eyes, as he stares Sai down, “Why the fuck would I be mad, I’ve literally -“

“Wow you two homos are still bummin’ each-other, huh?”

Sai is shocked as he turns to look at the person who addressed them, Erik freezes. He knows that voice. The syrupy, low pitched voice of a confident, self claiming bitch.

“Holy shit.” Sai says, voice quivering. Erik glances at his friend, his face blushing somewhat. Erik had forgotten that Sai once had a huge crush on Maki. Not as a result of her personality of course, just the fact that Maki is older and used to wear next to nothing when Sai came around for a visit. Erik was certain that she did that to fuck with him by making his friend act awkward and horny. Allegedly, no one ever really gets over their first crush.

Erik turns and flashes a tight smile, “No stalker photo this time?”

Maki laughs loudly, heads turning to glance over at her from other tables, “That’s your reaction to seeing your beloved sister?!”

Erik groans as he moves over in the booth, giving Maki room to sit down, which she takes. “Step sister.” Erik corrects.

“Oh, yah cutie!” She grins widely, wrapping an around his neck and bringing him close, “Still on that, huh? I guess you don’t want people knowing you want to fuck a bio sister, huh?”

Sai is silent and just looks down at his hands, trying to suppress his laugh, “Christ, Maki.” Erik mutters, looking past her generous chest to the other tables, “Do you have to be so loud?”

She roars with laughter, letting go of her step sibling she leans back and looks him up and down, “Looking good lil bro. Not a scrawny twink anymore, huh?” She looks over at Sai, “And you’re still as ripped as ever, you took ‘im to the gym?”

Sai grins stupidly and nods likes a child being praised for the first time, “You know it, Maki!” Erik looks at him, staring with an air of disappointment at the giddiness of a teenager that Sai is putting on display, “Simp”, Erik words silently towards him.

Erik takes a good look at his older step sister, her red hair style has not changed all that much since he last saw her 3ish years ago. Same fringe with longer side fringes on the side framing her face, extending down to just touch her collarbone, braided at the back, Maki found her style early in her life and stuck to it. Erik notices where Sai’s eyes are as Maki talks to him for a moment, hard to miss to be fair, Erik thinks. Maki has always had a curvaceous body, Erik can’t help but think that she’s like a fitter, younger Mrs Revers. Breasts that are much too large for her frame and thick thighs, though that’s where Mrs Revers has her beat. Maki hasn’t changed much and Erik remarks to himself that maybe, if anything, she’s lost a bit of weight, she seems smaller than before, her chest still heaving but not quite the way it used to.

“Getting a good look, lil bro?” Maki smrks at Erik having caught him staring.

“Sorry.” He replies. “You lost weight?”

Maki chuckles and grabs her breast, squeezing them against her chest as she jiggles them, much to the delight of Sai (and Erik to a certain extent), “Sure have! The girls took a bit of a hit but nothing crazy, they still look good right?”

“I guess so.” Erik replies without thinking, upon realising, closing his eyes and sighing.

“Always knew you were a perv, mom used to think you were gay but I saw you waiting for me to leave the shower.”

Sai snickers, covering his mouth and looking away, Erik looks incredulous, “Laura thought I was gay?”

Maki lets go of her breasts and nods, grabbing a chip from Erik’s plate, “Yeah. You only ever hung out with Anya and I. Remeber when you let us do make up on you.”

“You have pictures?” Sai asks, much to the chagrin of Erik.

“Not on me, soz.” She says flippantly.

“Enough of this.” Erik groans. “Why are you here?”

“Can’t I want to visit my dear little step brother?” She questions with a certain emphasis.

“Yeah, right. I know there’s something.”

She snorts and nods, “Yeah nah. Happy accident. Much like you were right?”

“That’s so fucked up, bruh.” Erik says, not offended at all but getting flashbacks to the way she used to tease him.

She snickers again. “Nah, I got an offer to manage — slash — own a club that my old boss is opening here.”

“Oh, what club?” Sai asks, showing an unusual level of interest.

“It’s opening soon, Exyos.” Maki answers.

Sai tilts his head, “Not heard of it, are you sure it’s opening soon?”

Maki gives him a judgemental look and responds with a lethal dose of sarcasm “Am I sure if the club I’m the part owner of is going to open soon? What do you think shit for brains?”

Sai shrinks and blushes, “Fair point. When’s it due to open? In the city right? That’s probably why I haven’t heard of it.”

She nods, stealing another chip from Erik, “Yep. City, 2 weeks time.”

“Wait.” I stop them both, “Does that mean you’re here long term?”

Maki mouth stretches wide wickedly. “Sure am! I expect you to take me out on dates to see where you live, lil bro!” She hooks an arm through his roughly and leans her head on his shoulder, pressing him against the wall, “I. Can’t. Wait. To. Meet. Lil. Ol. Vi. Real fucked up you never showed us a picture!” She exclaims, “You don’t even post her on your social media.”

Erik groans from across the table, “He doesn’t post anything!” He looks at Maki, “I’ve posted me and my girl, Erik and Vi have both been in the photos, you haven’t seen them?”

Maki stares at Sai, not trying too hard to give an apologetic look, “I don’t follow you.”

You would be forgiven if you looked at the table right now and thought that Sai had just been dumped by a long term girlfriend.
