*There are so many hot guys in Brothers Conflict that it's impossible to decide who I like best, which is probably a good reason why I don't own it or its characters.

General POV

Azusa and Tsubaki were in a bit of a pickle. They had an audition in two days that they had to do as a group of three and their usual female partner, Melody, had gotten a really bad case of the flu and was going into coughing fits every two minutes. Not the best thing when you're a voice actor.

This was bad. The audition was for a new anime and Tsubaki knew that the two of them were perfect for the lead roles. But the directors wanted the people playing the parts to already have a connection so that it would be sure to come through for the characters.

"What are we going to do? Melody was perfect for this," Tsubaki groused as he leaned back on the couch, gripping the script in one hand.

"We have no choice, we'll have to find someone else we know." Azusa said, trying to placate his twin. But at the same time, he knew that they were in big trouble. The other female voice actors they knew were either busy with other projects or already had partners for the audition. Unless they were willing to pull in an unknown and hope that she was able to fulfill the role, they weren't going to get the parts. What was even more disappointing was that he wanted the part as much as Tsubaki did.

"Who else is there? We've called everyone and those who might be willing are wrong for the part in the first place. We know our parts, two guys in love with the same girl, but the girl needs to be someone who would respond to our flirting while still being outspoken enough to not…"

As Tsubaki trailed off, Azusa saw a look he knew all too well overtake his twin's face. It was his I-have-a-crazy-idea-that-just-might-work face.

Not half a second later, he knew what his twin was thinking and was already shaking his head "That won't work, and you know it."

"Why not? She's even more perfect for the role than Melody, especially paired up with us."

"It won't work because she'd never go for it. Ema isn't even trained to be a voice actor-"

"And we are two of the best in the industry, we could make her great!" Not bothering to listen to Azusa anymore, Tsubaki jumped to his feet and ran to the elevator to go to Ema's room. Letting out a sigh, Azusa stood to follow him.

~oOo~

Ema was sitting at her desk studying for an upcoming exam when a loud, enthusiastic knock at her door nearly had her stumbling out of her seat. She quickly went to the door, wondering if everything was okay and wasn't surprised to see that Tsubaki was on the other side.

"Is everything okay?" She asked him. He didn't answer, instead, he took her hand and pulled her out of her room and to the elevator. "Tsubaki?"

"I just had a great idea and we need your help to make it work!"

"Make what work?"

The elevator dinged and the doors opened to reveal Azusa waiting inside. He had as much chance to speak as Ema did as the white haired twin stepped into the elevator, pulling Ema along with him and blocking his twin's escape.

"What's going on?"

"Of course he didn't tell you," Azusa muttered as he shook his head. "We are auditioning for the lead roles in a new anime and we are required to audition in teams of three, two male and one female. However, Melody has fallen ill and will not be able to make the audition in two days, so we were hoping that you would be willing to assist us and fill her spot."

Her eyes went wide as her mind processed exactly what they were asking of her. "B-but… I've never… I wouldn't even know where to start or how to do something like that!"

"You just need to be yourself, you're perfect for the part! And you'll be helping your brothers in their time of need. You want to help us, don't you?" Tsubaki asked her as the elevator reached the common room floor and he was pulling her along again.

Again, Azusa had to shake his head at his twin. Way to guilt trip her into accepting. You have no shame, he thought. But he would admit, by way of character dynamics and the relationship between the three of them, Ema was the ideal person to make the relationship between characters authentic if she was able to use her voice properly.

They sat on the couch and Tsubaki handed her his copy of the script. "Just read it over and see if you can put yourself in the female character's mindset. Then we'll start reading together."

Ema started reading the script, a blush quickly coloring her cheeks. "I'm not sure if I can do this."

"Just give it a try," Tsubaki insisted. "If it doesn't work, we can try to find someone else. But at this point, it really would be close to impossible for us to find anyone."

Ema couldn't help but sigh as he gave her those puppy-dog eyes. He really was trying to be nice about it and it was to help them in their job… I guess I could at least try right now. If I'm terrible, then they can hopefully find someone else. "Alright, but just be honest with me on how I do. If I'm terrible, just tell me."

Azusa couldn't help but respect that as he smiled at her and nodded. "You have our word, we will give you honest feedback."

Taking a deep breath, Ema read the page one more time before handing it back to Tsubaki and doing her first line. "What are you doing here? I thought I told you that I didn't want to see you again!"

"Come on, you know you like me," Tsubaki said his first line with a flirty tone.

"I wasn't talking to you." Ema said, looking over to Azusa. "What are you doing here, Tamaki?"

"I didn't realize that we were coming to meet you." Azusa said with a defensive edge to his voice before looking over to Tsubaki and turning a bit angry. "You knew about the two of us and you still brought me here. What is wrong with you?"

Tsubaki laughed. "What can I say? I like a little drama here and there."

"You like drama? We only started seeing each other last week and you pull something like this! There is something seriously wrong with you! Consider us over!" Ema said in a haughty tone to Tsubaki before looking back at Azusa. "And as for you, I'll forgive you this time since you were just as much in the dark about this meeting as I was. I didn't even realize that you two knew each other, let alone that you were friends."

"Hikomo, wait!" Azusa said, reaching out his hand to take hers like it said to do in the script. And just like in the script, Ema started blushing and Tsubaki glared at their joined hands. "Can't we talk? Even for a few minutes? I haven't seen or heard from you in months."

"That's what happens when you break someone's heart." Ema coldly replied as she pulled he hand from Azusa's grip. "The three of us can talk later, but for now… I need to go. Goodbye." Ema stood from the couch and took a few steps away to signify her leaving the scene, but continued to listen as Azusa and Tsubaki kept going with their lines.

"You bastard, you never said you were in love with her!" Tsubaki hissed at his twin.

"You only asked if I knew her, you never asked how. And what does it matter if I still love her?"

"I matters because I'm in love with her! You had your chance and you screwed up. That means that she'll be mine."

Azusa's eyes narrowed on his twin. This was feeling less and less like practicing for an audition and more like real life. "And what makes you think you deserve her? Our relationship might have ended because I chose working for a promotion over her, but that's done and I can give her the time she deserves now."

Tsubaki fisted his hands as he glared at his twin. "We might be best friends, but I'm not going to step aside just so you can have her. She means too much to me."

"Then let the games begin."

The twins continued to glare at each other for half a second before Ema clapped her hands a couple of times, breaking their trance and looking at her. "So, be honest, was I terrible?" She asked them.

Unable to help themselves, violet eyes met violet eyes as they shared a look of shock. Neither one of them could remember a time when a female actor was able to bring out this kind of performance in them. It brought their capabilities to a whole new level! What was even more amazing was that Ema had brought her character to life and seemed to understand what she was feeling almost perfectly without any coaching or directing. She was an absolute natural!

"You were perfect," Azusa smiled at her. "You didn't overplay the part or under do it either, that's very difficult to do when you are playing off other characters and their reactions for the first time."

Ema was blushing as she looked down at her feet. "Well, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I just kept in mind that I was talking to the both of you, and since Tsubaki said to act naturally, that's what came out."

The white haired twin came to his feet to hug her. "You really did amazing, Ema! Now you've got to help us with the audition! Anyone else wouldn't be able to bring out this kind of performance with the two of us."

"I agree," Azusa said as he stood from his seat to take Ema's hand and kiss her knuckles. "Please say that you will do this audition with us."

She could feel her face turning cherry-red as the twins showered her with kind words and asked her to assist them. In all honesty, it had been a lot of fun and she was excited to be able to do this with them. But at the same time, she would hate to cost them the audition if she messed up because of her lack of training and experience.

"Are you sure you want me to? What if I-"

"Don't worry about messing up," Tsubaki said as he gave her a squeeze before letting her go to take her other hand. "Just read it like you did here with us and you'll be fine. And if you get too nervous, we'll be right there to help you."

Having lost her reasons why she probably shouldn't be doing this, Ema agreed and Azusa was automatically on the phone with their agent to let him know that they had found a different female voice actor to audition with them. Ema heard him describe her as a being a natural, able to bring out the best in the two of them despite being new to the industry, although she had been exposed to the industry for over a year.

When he finally hung up the phone, he turned and smiled at her. "We will need to take you to our agent's office tomorrow after you are finished with school to do some paperwork and make everything official. But he trusts our judgement on your talent and can't wait to meet you."

"So this is really happening? I'm auditioning to be a voice actor for an anime?" Ema asked them, suddenly feeling a bit shocked about how quickly everything had progressed.

"That's how it's looking. And if anything comes up that you're not sure about, just let Tsubaki or me know and we will help you in any way that we can."

Ema couldn't help but give her brothers a big smile. Then she picked up the script and started reading it more carefully. She wanted to be prepared for whatever scene the director might ask them to read. Azusa and Tsubaki smiled back at her as the sat on either side of her and read along.
