Big Sister's Home

by Solasta15

The boys had hope in the shape of a girl when they were younger. She was kind, independent, and loving. After an seemingly accident with her mother, she left and went to college... Until nearly four years later, 'he' calls and tells her of the peculiar guest in their manor. Unbeknownst to the boys change in persona, what happens when she comes home?

3. Unrepentant Hope

As we walked to the manor, Shu and I had a conversation about percussion music, involving Bach, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky.

Before I could take another step towards the manor, I noticed my youngest brother, standing in front of a tall castle and looking up at it.

"Hey...Is something wrong, Sis?" Shu asked me, then probably looked in the same direction.

Worry clouded my eyes, "..Subaru..."

I heard him sigh, "You can go," Shu said to me.

I turned my head to look at him, "B-but we were going to-"

Shu pet the puppy's head, smiling at both him and me, "Don't worry. I can handle this little guy. Go to him, I'm sure he needs the attention."

Hesitating for a few seconds, I sighed, then bowed my head in forgiveness before walking towards Subaru.

Making a subtle approached, I believe he heard me because he turned around.

"Sister?" he questioned.

"Hello, Subaru."

He looked at the ground, "Hi.." he sadly spoke.

"Are you okay?"

He didn't reply; I took this quiet moment to look up at the barred window and see Miss Christa staring down at Subaru.

Her gaze moved to me and softened a little as a small smile traced her lips.

I looked back to Subaru, then kindly grasped his hands and pecked the top of his forehead with my lips.

"How about we go into the garden? I want to make you a flower crown out of white azeleas, chrysanthemums, and daises. They suit your nice, soft hair."

Red spread across his cheeks and reached his ears as he shyly nodded to my request.

"Alright, let's go. I hope you don't mind, Miss Christa!" I said loud enough for her to hear.

I noticed her nod from the left corner of my eye while I walked with Subaru, who held my right hand with his left.

"S-Sister...can I...make a flower crown for you, too?"

I smiled at him, "Of course. What kind of flowers will you use?"

"Blue-green Plumeria flowers...they suit your eyes, and they're very lovely."

The smile on my lips widened, "Now that I think about it..they do."

(Okay, I know you've been anxious to get to the real story, but there's just one more delayed chapter after this, and on with the story! Thank you for staying patient!)
