Kinichi and Tanako have realized something and now but is it their love? |
--- Thank you for reading the first chapter and continuing on to find this one, even when I am still figuring out this site. Once again, I do not take any negative criticism and will thank you for any help with grammar if I have an editing problems. Thank you for putting up with this and enjoy.--- Kinichi's Pont Of View I stared as my little sister sobbed into my chest, a small wet spot reaching my skin where her eyes were. Was this really happening? My little sister, the one who ended up becoming the love of my live, has returned my feelings... I went to a college morning class before and afterwards, stopped by one of the classes I knew Tanako went to and found that she had called in sick and knowing her, she'd never missed a college or high school day in her life, thought she didn't do so well in middle school. I became worried for her immediately and decided to pay her a visit at the apartment that she told me she was living in. I'd never been to it before and now found it small but comfortable. I pressed my lips against the top of Tanako's head and closed my eyes, just holding her to me and rocking slowly. Her grip tightened around my arms and she sniffed, sitting up a bit. She looked into my eyes and hiccupped, smiling. "I-I'm sorry." she let out a half sob - half laugh. I guess the way I can explain this, happiness blossomed in my heart and yet... it was sad at the same time. I did love her but then the feelings that we had were completely forbidden, a sad taboo. "Tano, it's fine." I murmured and placed my forefinger and thumb on her chin and lifted her head just a bit. Her cheeks sparkled with tears that were either sad or happy, I couldn't tell. "Kinichi, why?" She murmured. My 'why'? Some would say that question is hard to answer but to me I realized it when I saw another man trying to make her his, following her around and trying to make her love him. In a rare moment of anger and jealousy, I followed him as he went home and scared him off. Tanako would be grateful if she knew. She always gave him a look of disgust. "Why?" I repeated her words. "For the same reason I kissed you." She shook her head. "No... you... love me?" I nodded this time and she gave a sigh of relief, I hoped. "And do you love me?" I whispered. "Yes... I always have... for years..." she sniffed and sat up, turning on the couch and leaning her head sideways on my shoulder. "But... Why do you love me? I'm always punching you and teasing you... and I'm your sister." I gave a small chuckled at her words. She gave me and accusative glance. "See? That is why I love you." Tanako raised an eyebrow. "Because I'm your sister?" I shook my head and sighed. Women can be dense sometimes, especially her. "No, because you aren't afraid to show what you can do. You aren't like other women. You are strong, energetic and... beautiful." She sucked in a breath and I felt something wet on my shoulder. I didn't have to look to tell that she was crying again. "Kinichi?" She murmured. "Hm?" She pressed her face farther against my shoulder. "Arigatou (thanks)." I nodded and glanced quickly at her to see she was watching me. I didn't know what to do now. Nothing could have made me happier than this but now that I had her. I didn't know what to do. "Onii-san?" I looked down at her again just in time to see her lean upwards quickly and press her lips to mine. My eyes widened and I tensed. It was me that was supposed to catch her off guard like that. But, after a moment she didn't move away and I melted into her kiss, placing my arms around her and pulling her closer to me. This was what I wanted all along. To hold my little sister to me and have her all to myself. I loved her and probably a lot me than either of us realized. |
