Chapter 8: Seiya's Plan
Seiya sat at the piano, absent mindedly running his fingers over the cold smooth keys. He didn't hear Taiki and Yaten enter, seemly in his own world.
"Seiya, we need to talk. Now," Taiki said quietly but there was no missing the edge in his voice. Seiya stopped playing and looked up at his brothers with a twinge of annoyance.
"What is it?' he demanded.
"It's about Haruka. You seem to forget who she is," Taiki said. Seiya blinked in surprise, taken aback.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Seiya said flatly, recovering quickly.
"Don't play stupid," Yaten said sharply. He looked ready to say more but Taiki gestured for him to be silent.
"Seiya, it's fine that she stayed here for a little but now we can't help but wonder that you two are getting a little too close," Taiki explained.
"What business is it of yours anyway?" Seiya stood suddenly to face his brothers, angry.
"Calm down, Seiya. Just remember where our loyalties lie," Taiki said.
"I know that. But there is no harm in asking her out," Seiya said, sitting back down.
"Er, perhaps you missed the fact that she doesn't date guys," Yaten said. "And didn't she just break up with Michiru?" he added.
"I know that but I could try," Seiya said with confidence.
"Uh huh. So, we should start making funeral arrangements, then?" Yaten remarked. Seiya rolled he his eyes.
"Look, I like her and I just want to find out if she feels the same way," Seiya explained. Taiki and Yaten stared at him, wide eyed and open mouthed with shock.
"Wait, you like Haruka? What happened to Odango?" Yaten asked.
"I did like Odango but looking back, I think it was because she reminded me so much of our princess," Seiya sighed, looking out the window, his eyes distant.
"But why Haruka of all the people? Why not Makoto? Even Minako would be a better choice," Yaten said, shuddering slightly when he mentioned Minako.
"I don't know!" Seiya snapped, trying to think of the right way he could talk to Haruka, ignoring Taiki and Yaten now.
