I'm a dumbass... this was going to be longer, except I forgot I uploaded the document I was typing this in... and I just want to update... because college
The next morning as she stepped out of her room, she walked into her older sister, who was leaning against the next to the door. "Morning Yuuki."
Paling further, Yuuki gripped her books. "H-Hey Raven…" Her eyes were trained on her shoes, hoping her hair was long enough to cover the bandage on her neck.
"What did you do to your neck?" Raven touched it and Yuuki swallowed, looking up at her sister, but not in the eyes.
"We'll talk about it later…"
Raven's eyes narrowed. "He did it again?"
"I made him… He'd die otherwise, wouldn't he?" When Raven didn't reply, Yuuki continued. "I know you care about him. You know better than I do what's happening to him, someone has to do this."
"And it shouldn't be you. You don't know anything about him." Then she turned and walked away.
Later she saw her brother; his eyes took latched to her neck and his face turned bright red. He walked over and Yuuki couldn't tell what he was on his mind.
"Kyon?" She was slightly nervous.
"Are you sure about this, Yuuki?" His face was suddenly clear, sad and worried.
"Yeah. I haven't known him that long but I don't want him to be in pain…"
He hugged her tightly. "You don't need to, but thank you. Yuuki, you're a lot braver than I am."
"If you want to trade places, you can always the big brother card." She knew by the change in grip that he was even more embarrassed. "Or you could tell him the truth."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, shut up big bro. I'm not completely stupid."
He pulled back and ducked his head. "Whatever, just be careful, promise." Yuuki nodded and he disappeared. Her siblings were obviously not happy with her descision, but weren't telling her to stop.
