Okay.

[Slowly, her smile falls, and curious concern creeps in.]

... Did something happen?

[This is not the tone of someone who knows the answer and is trying to get her brother to open up. Nope, she's genuinely asking, because she's honestly not sure.]

[sealant]

...

[ It really must be that obvious. He looks at her, ponders not giving it away, but then...no. This is Chiaki. He knows he can trust her with it, even if it's still extremely difficult to get out. ]

I asked out Nonon-san. She said no.

[virtualgirl]

Asked out...

[She has to take a moment to consider that. She was only a fake high school student for a short time, but she's learned quite a bit since then too.]

So... you confessed to her?

[And she said no? That can happen...? (She still doesn't quite understand this completely.)]

[sealant]

Yeah.

[ Who would have thought, right? Dating sims lied to them.

With the weight off his chest, things feel a little better. He sighs and leans in further, nearly flopping onto the surface. ]

She already has someone special.

[virtualgirl]

Oh...

[This sounds sad, but how deal with it? What's a good little sister supposed to do?

......

Does a little bit of a hug and resting her head on his shoulder work?]

[sealant]

...

[ It just might. All those night-time cuddles have gotten him to the point where he doesn't freeze up or flinch at all when she touches him. Instead, he just leans there, letting the morose feeling run through him.

Eventually, he leans down too, his own head on top of hers. ]

Thanks, Chiaki.

[virtualgirl]

You'll always be someone special to me, Makoto-niichan...

[No, she doesn't realize how corny that sounds, or even the various ways one could mean 'someone special'. But she genuinely means it, such as she understands.]

[sealant]

[ By this point, they've spent enough time together for him to get her particular Chiaki-isms - and that she says stuff like that with no irony whatsoever. It's...refreshing. Comforting, even, especially right now.

He nods, shifting hair against hair. There's been a long, long time spent alone before this...enough that this is still something strange and new. ]

You too.
