Chapter 3

Too Much of a Relationship

The weather was beginning to heat up in the spring; summer was near. Touma sat under the maple tree in the schoolyard, sketching a picture of his sister, who was scribbling not far away from where he was. The heat was so unbearable that he allowed his jacket to slip down his shoulders. He never went near his sister unnecessarily, in fear of pissing her off. Pissing Kori off would always be the worst idea of all. She'll come up with all the bad cursing and swearing against him. It really hurts to hear her say those, especially towards him. Even before she severed ties with the family, she was already cold towards the blond and he wished that it would not continue forever.

Asking his best friend to approach Kori was the only best solution in the moment. Although asking Eiri to be the middle person may be a little too much, but it may really help improved the relationship between the three of them. Touma had already contacted Kitazawa that Kori might be going along with Eiri. He sounded really pleased over the phone in the increase of students and readily accepted the favor from Touma.

Touma gripped on his mechanical pencil tightly, intending to finish the drawing before Kori leaves. But lesser than he had expected, a figure appeared behind him and knocked his head, distracting him and making him turn his head back to face the other blond behind him.

"Eiri! What the hell!"

"Hi Touma. Oh, drawing again?"

"Yeah. Is anything of a problem to that?"

"No, no. Not really."

"Like as if. Your expression is rejected whatever you just said to me." Touma frowned at Eiri, hating him for breaking his day. Eiri chucked a little, then into a laugh.

"EIRI UESUGI!" Touma yelled at the laughing blonde and gave him his best murderous eyes, almost killing Eiri with it.

"I'm sorry man. It was just that…that…that I didn't knew that you're a incest."

"Bastard! What do you mean by that!" Touma replied as he turned into a big red tomato.

"According to my very accurate assumptions, all you have done had shown a remarkable result that you like Kori really much."

"Of course I do, she's my sister!"

"No. I mean you 'like' her 'like' her. In terms of the word 'crush'.

"What in the hell Eiri, I do not like her! We're just siblings and nearing enemies relationship now, okay!"

" What ever Touma, but you don't…"

"SHUT UP!" Touma roared and stood up furiously and left the ground, leaving his drawing half-done. Eiri pulled himself up and followed Touma, still laughing at Touma's interesting expression. Even though it was just a pure joke, he could really felt that Touma was really in love with his sister, even if the guy disagreed himself.

---------------------------

It was a self-studying period, the classroom was full of quiet hardworking students, all working on the given assignments given by a relieve teacher before she left the room for another lesson. Touma, as the class chairman, was keeping the class as organized as possible. He was still fuming at Eiri for ruining his drawing and had not spoken to him since then.

The class was so quiet that Touma's thoughts started to play with him. It raced through his mind, playing a game of tag, as his conscience started its 'puppet play'.

Touma Seguchi is in love with his sister…

The blond ignored and tried to wash the thoughts away.

Ignoring huh? Just like how you ignored the poor girl when she was going to be killed by YOUR father. Just like how she loves to ignore you now. Coward, you are such a coward. That's what coward like you love to do.

"So what?" Touma replied in frustration of the thoughts, how can he be so stupid?

'So what' you say. Kori could have died you know? Kori can never know how you felt about her. Your concerns will just be lies and your love will only be an extra. She'll just kick you out of her world once and for all. You'll never get a chance to participate in her circles of life.

"Then what do you propose? Tell her that I'm incest and I love her? You must be kidding me!"

That, you decide for yourself…the conscience replied in chuckles and vanished without a proper cue. Touma felt really weak just for that moment. How could he be so carelessly stupid? How can he let his conscience take over his mind? Maybe he slipped, but he really felt what the conscience said might be true. Touma Seguchi had fell in love with his sister; biological sister. Eiri was right. He did fell in love with the girl who had the same flowing blood as his, the only girl he wanted to protect so much despite all the factors that stopped the relationship between them. He knew it was forbidden, it was wrong, but what could he do?

"Hell what the fuck am I thinking and talking to myself for!"

He felt a strong urg to cry, but the blonde quickly turned his thoughts away.

"I…what am I gonna do?"

In frustration, Touma clenched his fist and banged in onto the desk before him. His sudden move broke the silence in the room, as the class was startled by the loud bang. The blonde growled in frustration and stormed out of the classroom, leaving for the washroom to calm himself down.

Touma turned on the taps and be splashed all the cold freezing water on his face, drenching his blonde hair in the process. The hair hanged and limped on his face as his dirty green eyes pierce through the curtains of his hair. Touma lifted his fingers to touch his reflection on the mirror, exploring the simplest expression and features on his face. Why was he so beautiful? Why isn't Kori the one to be beautiful? Tears raced down his cheeks uncontrollably, building up his every guilt in life. His knees fell onto the wet tiled floor in weakness. Using his hands to cover his face, Touma broke down and cried his heart out. He did not care if anyone entered the washroom at that moment, neither did he cared if his pants were absorbing the water from the tiles. He just wanted to let go everything clinging on the tail of his life.

The blonde managed to say something between his sobs, not quite audible but easily understood by the on the other blond, who was standing outside the washroom lying his back on a wall. The tears rolled down his eyes from his golden orbs as he cried for his best friend.

"Touma Seguchi…you're such an idiot."

End

Maybe I'm really overdoing the story, but I still like it. I don't know why but I used to hate Touma so much while I'm watching Gravitation in the anime, but now I love him so much because of the weird alters here and there to Touma by me. He's so emotional!

I was thinking on a Touma x Eiri chapter at first, and then I thought that it was so boring…so I decided on an incest chapter of the two siblings, Touma x Kori.

And whatever Kori's scribbling on you'll know later in the next chapter, 'Chapter 4: Talents of the Graspers'. See ya later in the next chapter!

Reviews please…anyway happy lunar New Year! Woof, woof!
