Omake 6 Subaru admitting to Hokuto that he's in love with Seishirou
"Subaru!" Said teenager jumped.
"Are you listening to me Subaru?"
"Oh! No, I'm sorry, Hokuto! I was just thinking! We start our fifth year this year and that's a lot of stress you know. Plus Professor Reed made me prefect, can you believe that?"
"Of course I can, you work hard and are level headed, although as of late you haven't been so level headed what are you thinking about?"
Subaru looked at her, a blush evident on his cheeks. "Don't tell Kamui okay?"
"Kamui's not here Subaru, we won't see him until September first."
The blush grew deeper. "Well I was um, I..."
"OUT WITH IT SUBARU!"
"I was thinking of Seishirou…"
"What about Sei-chan?"
"Everything! I can't get him out of my head! The sound of his voice, the way he casually holds his wand, the way he puts his arm around me, the way he says my name, EVERYTHING!"
To Subaru's horror, Hokuto was laughing. "Took you long enough Subaru! You're in love with him!"
"….EH?!"
"Subaru, I've seen the way you look at him. I have for the past year or so. In fact, you almost didn't want to let him go when we came home for summer vacation. So you need to tell him!"
"I can't…"
"Well why the bloody hell not?"
"Because, Seishirou is, Seishirou is, he's perfect. He's tall, dark and handsome. He's confident and he doesn't let people walk all over him. He wouldn't want someone like me."
At this Hokuto crumpled up a piece of parchment and threw it at her brother. "SUBARU WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT BRINGING YOURSELF DOWN?!"
"It's true Hokuto! Seishirou can protect the people he cares for. Like Fuuma..."
"And like you."
"Eh?!"
"You can't be that dense Subaru! How many times has he swept in to your rescue? When the Snake-Bats teased you he always came in to defend you. He's held you when you've cried. Jeez Subaru!"
Subaru's face was crimson by now, as usual, his sister was right. "...Still he wouldn't want someone like me…."
"Don't make me throw something at you again. Term starts in two weeks. When we get back you're going to tell him how you feel! Would you rather some pretty girl snatch him from you?" Subaru shook his head.
"Then it's settled, don't worry about our brother, leave him to me."
"Thank you Hokuto."
She hugged her baby brother. "What are big sisters for?"
