Rin lay spread across the couch, head resting on Kyousuke's lap. Kyousuke was staring straight ahead at the television while he stroked Rin's head. It might have been a peaceful scene had it not been for all the meowing cats prowling around.
Still, in spite of the cats, it wasn't such a bad life, Kyousuke thought, living together with his little sister. They were both enjoying it thoroughly, far more than some people might have guessed. At home, they were free to do all sorts of things behind closed doors without fear of ever being caught.
Still, his mind kept flashing back to that conversation he'd had with Riki over the phone earlier.
"I wonder if you will ever get a girlfriend, or if Rin will ever get a boyfriend."
It had been a perfectly innocent comment. Riki had no idea of their situation, of course. Kyousuke doubted that he ever would figure out what was going on between the two siblings.
But it had brought up a very good point.
As the years went by, as the two continued to live together, neither of them ever publicly dating, were people going to start wondering?
Kyousuke looked down at Rin. She seemed so happy and contented. He wondered if she would always be in love with him. Maybe one day, her feelings would change, or it would be his own. Love was a fickle thing after all.
Rin turned her head, catching his gaze. "Hm, what is it?"
"Nothing." Kyousuke smiled. He turned his attention back to the television.
There was no point in worrying about the future, he told himself. It was better to just enjoy the now while they still had it.
