So this is my second story, which is connected with my first story "My name is Droite and this is my story". Right now, both these stories are not finished, which I'm sorry for, but I couldn't resist temptation. I'm not ready to confirm this story to be the sequel of it. Once I'll finish all two or three stories, I will update it. So, finished saying this, now let's go!
Droite was exhausted lately, but it wasn't for the pressure of the work as a manager, or maybe it was... maybe it wasn't the job she wanted to do. She didn't exactly know why she felt like this, and if she knew, she wouldn't admit it. But her brother, Gauche, noticed it.
Throughout the years, all the time she tried to conceal with her feelings, Gauche always saw through the bottom of it, even if she claimed the contrary; after all, he was her brother. Gauche was the only brother, the only family left to her, and they've been always close to each other. Droite felt like it was her duty to make him happy. Even if he's 19 years old, without her taking care of him, Gauche wouldn't last long even for a week, at least in Droite's perspective.
Gauche exactly knew what was wrong with her, he's been the only person who's been able to fully understand Droite's emotions and the reasons for it, as if he could practically read her mind... or it's just the memories they've shared from their childhood to their teenage years that made Gauche understand her so well; after, she has been quite strange, or she wasn't herself.
Since they were kids, Gauche always told her that he wants to be a professional duelist and that one day he would be a champion and make kids happy, and also save the world serving justice through duelling. Droite also wanted to be a professional duelist, but her dreams don't stop there. She wanted to be a warrior which would have saved the world, okay... at least they had dreams, but she wanted also to work in a Science field.
The point is, Droite is not doing what she wanted to do as a child, she's not the person she wanted to be once she was a child... Instead, Gauche realized half of his dreams, Droite helped him realize his dreams. Droite to help Gauche pursuing his dreams, she left Kaito, the one she loved. But hopefully, she gets his notices even if she's miles away, but, to Gauche is not fair, is not fair that because of him, her sister needs to pay the price.
It's his turn to give what she gave to him, that's the least he could do after all. But it required a tough decision, but deep down inside they knew they would come up to this one day...
"Droite... you seem tired," the heroic duelist said, giving her a suspicious expression.
"Gauche, I'm perfectly fine... it's just that lately, I needed to organize-"
"Don't lie to me!" he almost shouted as he was a little pissed as she didn't want to tell him the truth, which she does often lately.
"Gauche, why did you-?"
"Droite, you've been a partner, my manager but you'll always be my sister. You don't need to hide anything from me! I already know why you're like this. Before we've always told each other our problems and find a solution together, why it needs to change now?! You think if you'll tell me what's wrong with you, you will hurt me. But it hurts me more the fact that you are keeping it to yourself!" Droite was surprised by this, he really knows her sister better than anyone else. Well, the only thing she could do now is to admit how she really felt.
"Gauche, I'm... ah-alright, I'm going to be sincere with you. I... huh..."
"'I' what?" waiting for her sister to finish her phrase.
"I don't want to do this! I don't want to be your manager!" she shouted, closing her eyes tightly, fearing to have hurt Gauche's feelings. Well, he actually wasn't hurt, he knew all along.
"Droite, I already knew that... but-"
"What?... Are you not-"
"Of course I'm not hurt. But if you don't want to be my manager, what do you want to do?" Gauche asked as if it was something easy to answer. Droite, on the other hand, thinks the conversation is being rather difficult to go through as she's taking it seriously. Unlike her, her brother takes easy almost everything.
"Gauche! You know I can't do that!" said the butterfly duelist, frustrated, because both of them knows what they have to do if she could express herself.
"Droite, you didn't answer my question," his eyes and the tone of his voice told her that he wouldn't stop asking until she will give an answer.
"Fine!... I actually don't know... but I know that... I can't stay in Spartan City... I need to go to Heartland City," she finally admitted.
'It took long.' Gauche thought as it confirmed his exact thoughts.
"Droite, I don't want to keep away from what you want to do, even if we have our distances between us, I think you need to stay alone for a bit and find your dream job," Gauche said with a smile.
Droite was surprised again, about how his brother understood her more than herself. They always have been together and now both Gauche and Droite needed to stay alone for a bit, to give each other space, especially Droite.
"And besides, I kinda feel like I'm keeping you away from your Kaito," Gauche chuckled a little. Droite simply blushed.
"Droite, he was your first crush and as it seems, it probably would be the last, at this point. Heart problems are not good. And I want to be the last person to make you hurt," Droite was speechless at this point on, but she stays always the usual overprotective sister.
"Gauche! Listen!... You really know me... and I admit... I really want to... but the problem is, this requires leaving you. And you know you wouldn't last long!" said the butterfly duelist with a grumpy face.
"C' mon! I'm 19 now! So you prefer to continue like this?! I'll be fine... And you wouldn't last long either if it continues this way," Gauche replied mockingly.
Droite is actually thinking about it quite long ago, deep inside, but she didn't want to be separated from his brother, but the day has come, they became young adults now and realised their dreams are different, and they can't stay together under the same roof for the rest of their life.
"I actually reconsider what you have said, I really want to go Heartland and see Kaito, but can you stay without-"
"Yes, I will not have any problems, I will have time. I'm going to take a break actually."
"Really? It's not like you... Is it because of me?" Droite asked. But then she noticed Gauche was hiding his wrist behind his shoulder for a while now...
"Gauche?! Show me your wrist!" the butterfly duelist shouted.
"It's nothing-"
"Ahah! That's why you want to take a break and want me to leave so that I will go unnoticed-"
"I don't want you to leave for this-"
"How can I even leave now with your wrist in this condition?!" the butterfly duelist shouted again, which pissed Gauche. He was being nice and all and now.
"Droite, you're not fine, I don't want you not to live your life as you should! I'll be fine Droite, seriously!" Gauche said with an exasperating tone. With that Droite can't fight back anymore. And finally Gauche won.
"Ah, fine. But that needs to be a definitive decision. With you, with your broken wrist and everything, it's more difficult to leave, but you're not a baby anymore, so I guess, we will live separated from now on..."
"Finally, I assure you! It's for the best!"
"I hope so..."
"Yeah, the tickets-" Gauche hurried.
"Wow, you really want me to leave, I wonder if you're hiding something else..." Droite gave a suspicious look with her hand on her chin.
"What?! Nooohoohoo!..." Yes, he had, but it's better if he kept it secret.
"Okay, this time will not investigate, go and book the ticket before I change my mind," she said with a smirk.
"Oh, so now is my manager is ordering me?~" Gauche teased.
"Wait, I'll be not your manager anymore after today, and manager or not, I'm still your lovely sister," she chuckled forgetting about another injury he has hidden from her, which Gauche was relieved for.
One day after
In the airport
"Gauche... take care of yourself and remember to-"
"Okay, I know. You said twice even before!"
"Okay, if you need me, call me immediately."
"Same goes for you," Gauche said it back.
"And visit me sometimes, alright?" asked Droite, looking firmly at her brother. It would be tough for both of them to get used to their new life, but things will be much easier if they could visit each other often, the money is not a problem for them after all.
"Alright," Gauche responded with a smile.
Droite and Gauche gave embraced each other. It would be Droite's first time having a journey alone. From now on they will be independent.
Droite took a deep breath before letting go the embrace, then her right hand went to her suitcase. She sighed but hoped for the better for both herself and Gauche. She walked toward the line and joined those who were waiting for their passport to be checked. Droite watches behind where her brother was waving at her. And she waved back. The man ahead of her has finished giving details of passports and next was her turn. Droite and Gauche then gave their last goodbyes, though without noise.
"Goodbye, brother," she whispered, turning back where her brother was watching her. Even though she said it softly, Gauche heard it or knew it.
"Goodbye, sister," her brother whispered back.
Finally finished it and I'm quite satisfied than the first one. If you want to say something or share ideas, please review. See you next XD
