It's Nice to See Reliable

by reminiscent-afterthought

Yoshino didn't like Touma one bit, when they first met. He was too much like her sisters. But he did one thing her sisters didn't. He helped her out instead of sneering from the sidelines. And then he listened when he was stuck and she offered a way out.

It's Nice to See Reliable
1.

Touma is the perfect gentleman when they first meet.

She kind of wishes he'd slipped up with that costume of his but he didn't. And hasn't since. He's the new kid but he barely makes a step wrong and it's all wrong and fake and not even fair because she's the veteran. She's been around the longest… and yet she makes more mistakes than him. He absorbs the life like a sponge soaking in water and isn't he going to start dripping all over the place because he's absorbed too much?

Geniuses – gifted like him… She hates them. Always so perfect on the outside but she's lived with three. Gifted musicians and she can barely carry a tune in comparison.

And here she's found a niche to fit into and someone else has fallen into the role like it's made for him.

She doesn't like that. She doesn't like that at all.
