<Present POV>

 

I lifted my shirt and found that scar, it started at the middle of my chest, going all the way down to my stomach. "HayatoXAki♥" it wrote…

 

It still sent shivers down my spine… Just the thought of her, it was terrifying. 

 

Knock knock knock!

 

I quickly let my shirt down, walking over to the door. Opening it, someone I hadn't expected to see was there. 

 

My older sister, Zea. 

 

"Surprise! It's me!", She yelled out while barging into my room, leaping onto my bed.  

 

"Oh, I thought you were at your campus for the year?", I asked, wondering how she got the time to visit. 

 

She rolled over my bed, sticking her face into my pillow while taking a deep breath of air. "Ahhh~ So nostalgic… I've missed this sce- I mean place!" 

 

'…?'

 

Confused, I walked out of my room, but was dragged back in by my older sister while she nagged. "What the hell! You haven't seen me for almost a year now, and you just walk out like that when I come back home?" 

 

"Sorry…" I replied, unsure why she was so mad. 

 

"Don't just say sorry! At least act like you care! I've missed you… And everyone else the entire time, and when I come back home, you act as if you don't care! Do you really even care about me?!?! It… It really does hurt me, you know? Do you…" She paused, looking down.

 

"Do you really even love me?" 

 

'No.'

 

That last line hurt. It sent a spike through my heart. My own family just asked me if I really even loved them. 

 

I nodded, awkwardly trying to hug her, but failing to do so. I gave up on the hug. 

 

"Yes… I do… I do love you…", I said while burrowing my face in my hands, an extreme rush of discomfort leaving my body. 

 

It felt so foreign.

 

I couldn't see her, but I assumed she was smiling as she hugged me. I hugged her back, my face down, hanging over her shoulder.

 

She mumbled something indecipherable.  

 

The next second, she started giggling to herself, hugging me tighter. The next thing I know, we were falling onto the bed. 

 

I started to slowly detach from her, but she wouldn't let me, only holding me tighter. 

 

"H-hey, can you let me-" I tried to speak, but was cut off by her.

 

"Shhh…", She hushed me. 

 

"...?" 

 

"Just a little longer…", She said, letting her body relax. 

 

And so, we rested for another 15 minutes…

 

She finally let us pull apart. I rearranged my now crinkled shirt.

 

“So how are you? How are classes? Tell me everything!”, she asked with enthusiasm.

 

“They are…”, I said, not really knowing how to summarize my hectic life. “...uh they’re cool.”.

 

“What’s the matter cat got your tongue?”, she said with a giggle. “Come on details, pleeaaseee. I didn’t come all this way to get the spark notes.”

 

“I don’t know what to say about it, sorry.”, I asked, giving her a shrug.

 

“What’s with you? You seem off. Like you're not really here right now.”, she said in a concerned tone. 

 

“No I am fine, really I am.”, I said refuted.

 

“Maybe if you had a girlfriend you’d be happier. You don’t have a girlfriend… right?”, She said in a playful tone with an unexpected cut of steel.

 

“No, no of course not.”, I said quickly.

 

“Good, glad to see some things don’t change.”, she said with a bit of relief.

 

‘Ouch, you didn’t have to say it like that’

 

I continued to give her generalized answers. We continue like that for a bit. After a while she rested her head against my shoulder, and we stayed like that for a while.

 

'Why do I lie so much?'

 

• ~~~~~•

 

Getting off of her, after god knows how long, I had realized…

 

She was asleep…

 

My mom came in, looking for me. "There you are! Oh, and look at that, she's fast asleep, on your bed…" She said, going silent for a few moments, her face bleak. 

 

After a few seconds, she suddenly smiled again, looking bright and cheerful again. "She must've been really, really tired. Haha. Come downstairs." She said, turning around and walking back down with that unwavering smile.

 

I recollected myself and quickly walked downstairs, where my mom was waiting for me. 

 

I walked up to the table. "What is it?" I asked her, unsure of why she called me down. 

 

"We need to talk."

<Zea (Older Sister) POV>

 

When he left, it was kind of annoying… But it's okay! Although I do miss the comfort of his body…

 

But!

 

I have his entire room to myself now, hehehe~

 

Quickly getting up! Stretch~! And… Fall…

 

'Hahhh… How I've missed this bed…'

 

I looked around, carefully and slowly getting up to close the door. 

 

Click!

 

The door closed, and I quickly went back to the bed, wrapping myself in the sheets. 

 

Burying myself in the pillow, I took a longgggg and deep breath, taking in the scent.  

 

My hand couldn't help but slowly drift down, reaching under my tight pants. 

 

I rubbed myself through my panties, making sure to take a long… Deep… 

 

'No!' I yelled to myself in my mind, slapping my hand away using my other. 

 

'I can't do this yet! First… The important things…' I reminded myself, quickly getting up and rummaging through my bag for everything I needed. 

 

I can't wait! Hehehe~

<Aiko (Younger Sister) POV>

 

Hmph…

 

He forgot… He forgot about it… Does he not like me? Why!?!? 

 

Is it because he sees me as a kid? I'm only a year younger! 

 

It can't be that he doesn't like me, right? I'm his little sister…

 

He should like me. 

 

He should.

 

He should.

 

He will.

 

Was I too harsh on him? I shouldn't have said that. But he's just so- ugh!

 

Why doesn't he like me! He's so annoying, and why didn't he remember!

 

Now I'm just starting to get even more annoyed and mad…

 

Sitting there, I thought of something horrible. 

 

'What if… What if he hates me because of what I said!?!? No! He wouldn't. But he's so dumb!' I talked to myself in frustration. 

 

'Why doesn't he understand the signs! So dull! Stupid! Idiot!' 

 

…

 

Nnn… 

 

'Maybe I should say sorry, just in case…' I thought before walking over to the mirror. 

 

After making sure I looked cute, I went to his room. Opening the door, I saw…
