The atmosphere was rather awkward between Sarah's attempts at getting closer to the red-head while her own sister was trying to hook her with the other woman. At fist, no one paid any mind to it but at the fifth attempt of Leah trying to push her sister in Dia's direction, Ruby made an awkward chuckle.
"Leah-chan, are you all right?"
The girl in question was quite oblivious and just smiled. However, she noticed how distant the two older girls were as they stood up, helping each others for the fifth time since their little party has started. They have decided to use the dining room as area to organize the party and put the snacks on a low table. Of course, they lit a TV and some decoration as well as drinks.
After another apology, Dia and Sarah each walked their own direction without looking behind. It made the younger violet slightly desperate as she decided her power alone was not enough. Walking toward the kitchen, she grabbed the red-head by an arm and dragged her alongside.
Ruby was about to say something but went against it as she saw the other girl was serious about something. Once they reached their destination, Leah let go of her arm so the shorter of the duo decided to speak. "What is wrong, Leah-chan? You've been acting weird since earlier. Did something happen with Sarah-Nee?"
"The truth is…" the girl struggled. She has promised her sister she won't tell anyone about what they talked about but she really needed Ruby's help. "About Nee-sama… I…"
There was a moment of pause as the taller girl mentally debated. On one hand, she would be betraying Sarah if she told Ruby everything. On the other hand, she wanted to be of an help though.
While Leah was lost in though, her friend was also thinking. She was acting really weird and Ruby placed a finger on her chin thinking. "Leah-chan… could it be…" She trailed a moment, her friend still keeping her focus on the floor. "…you're in love with Sarah-Nee…?"
The Kazuno girl's mind instantly went wide as she heard these words. How could her best friend assume such thing? Sure, the violet girl admitted she didn't have that much friend and the only people close to her were Ruby, Dia and her own sister. Of all people, she had to assume her?
She couldn't afford to tell the truth now though. A promise is a promise after all so the girl just averted her eyes, not replying.
"Leah-chan…" Ruby went silent in shock for a moment before smiling. "Isn't that great? I mean I think Sarah-Nee also loves you a lot. Though it might be a different kind of love but I am sure she won't be totally against it. I know; I am going to give you my support."
"Wait, Ruby!" The taller girl protested. "You don't have to go that far. I can somehow manage on my own."
"Of course not! You already had years to confess but didn't do so. Of course I need to give a push." From the past years, the red-head has somehow turned into a pushover young woman, all thanks to her older sister as well as Sarah. Since she decided she won't be able to always depend on someone, it was imperative for her to find her way in society. "Just believe in me! I promise I won't let you down."
"Y-yeah…" Leah reluctantly nodded as she made a mental grimace, giving up. At least, she could pretend. Shaking Ruby away might be difficult. While trying to find a way to hook Sarah and Dia, she got herself into being the target of a shipper on deck. It was at this moment she regretted dragging her friend into this.
After some agreement, the two of them decided to go back and found the two older girls facing their back at each others, pouting. The atmosphere was definitely very tense.
The first to break the silence was Ruby. "What's wrong?"
Sarah puffed her cheeks childishly. "I don't know Dia-san anymore."
"You are just being too stubborn." Countered the ravenette.
The younger girl sighed as they knew it was going to be a pain in the ass.
