"So, Natsume-san..." A female colleague was leaning against Kyousuke's desk, regarding him with a curious gaze. "How is it that someone as good-looking as you is still single, anyway? I hear you have a few female admirers in the workplace alone."
"Uh." Kyousuke thought about it for a moment, carefully choosing the words he would say. It wasn't like he was actually single, he had simply chosen to let everyone believe that, and he would certainly never cheat on the girl he was with either. The thing was, he could hardly tell everyone he was dating his little sister. He had no desire to be a social outcast. "I suppose I'm just not interested in a relationship right now."
"Hmm, I see." The woman pulled at a strand of hair, twirling it around her finger with a thoughtful look. "It's not that you're gay, is it? I mean, that would be totally cool if you were. No problem."
Kyousuke put on a patient smile. "I'm really just not looking for anyone right now, that's all."
"Well, okay. I'm sure if it's someone like you, you would have no trouble finding anyone. Well, talk to you later." With a smile, she walked away.
Good grief. There really were some nosey people in the workplace. Kyousuke returned his attention to his work, feeling mildly exasperated. Girls were practically queueing up before him. No doubt they would all be turned off if they knew he was into his own sister. As tempting as the thought was, it wasn't like he was that desperate to drive them away.
