Tsubasa gulped nervously, smiling hesitantly as she cursed colorfully in her head. Dammit. This wasn't planned on. "Hi, Kazuma. I thought you had band practice today."
He ran a hand through his bleached hair sheepishly. "Yeah, well, Martin had a little private signing going on today, so... we decided to put it off until tomorrow." He glanced at her, eyes narrowing. "Hey, Tsubasa... are you-"
Any question he might have uttered was lost as Tsubasa put a look of worry on her face. "Ah, Kazuma? What time is it?"
Glancing at the clock on the wall, his eyebrow furrowed as he relayed the hour to her. "Why?" he asked, turning back to face her, but finding that she was already on her way to her room.
"Sorry that I couldn't talk longer, Kazuma! Lots of homework!" she called from the hallway.
He heard her bedroom door open then slam closed. He sighed in frustration. How the hell was he supposed to tell her how he felt when she kept avoiding him? It was really starting to get on her nerves. He didn't care what other people said.
When it came down to the truth, he loved his stepsister.
He couldn't help it.
She was so beautiful, kind, smart, and funny. Of course, Kazuma wasn't one to take action, but if she kept this up, he would have no choice. He just couldn't help not seeing her on a daily basis. She was always locked in her room, out with a group of friends, or just going for walks by herself.
On the chance occasions that he did see her, it was only for a few moments before she managed to weasel away from him.
Quite frankly, it was beginning to piss him off.
Deciding to let it go for the time being, he went to his room as well, whipping out his homework. Damn the man who ever thought of homework... Trying to concentrate on his algebra, he found his mind straying to Tsubasa.
No matter how much he tried, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He laughed at the irony. Kazuma couldn't stop thinking about her and Tsubasa couldn't stop avoiding him. It was a circle, and he was getting tired of running around it.
Little did they know, tomorrow would be the day that everything would change.
