Felicia just couldn't live like this in the crescendo of silence between her and her brother, and it wasn't just about her crush on him but rather it impacted her as well that her older brother and best friend had turned to not talking to her due to her need of him.
She needed him in a multitude of ways; she needed him as her role model, as someone who had always supported and loved her, and as brother.
Felicia needed her best friend since it was clear that her feelings were taboo, so she at least needed that as if she couldn't have her crush love her back.
The Italian Omega watched her brother silently as well as he walked beside her for umpteenth day on their way to school; how long had she put up with this silence: a year, two?
In reality, it had been less than two weeks since the isolated silence had picked up between them, and she was sure that their grandfather was beginning to get worried with all that he spoke coming out in a raised, cautious tone when he addressed them.
"Lovi, how's Antonia?" She still dreaded and hated that name for the sole reason that it would continuously take her brother away from her all from the simple fact that Antonia was not bound by blood to them as opposed to just being a friend and may be one day a lover.
"I don't know." Typically Lovino had a sarcastic answer on his tongue and a blush on his face once Antonia was mentioned though he'd deny it for more reasons than one.
"You don't know?" Felicia was absolutely stunned by this fact regardless of whether she should be or not.
"No, how's Monika?" It was clear that her older brother detested that name as if he couldn't even bear to say it even now.
"She's fine. I think she's upset about something." Despite Monika's best efforts at being the best kind of friend imaginable for Felicia, Monika was hurt and upset by the fact that Felicia loved Lovino; Monika found that she had discovered a current inability to talk with her best friend which happened to make Felicia nervous in fear of something bothering the German Alpha.
"Is she?" Lovino's mind instantly jumped to the excuse of it being over Felicia's heat and the name of the Alpha that she had called; she had Monika over enough for her scent to linger yet Lovino was right there and lived there making his scent the strongest. That had to be why his little sister called his name rather than Monika though she seemed to talk to the female more in Lovino's opinion.
His heart ached at the thought of Felicia loving Monika, but he ignored it as when did his feelings matter in regards to having feelings for his little sister?
It was wrong to have a crush on her regardless of the fact that they could hide how related they were if they tried; the last names could be a sign of a marriage and they looked different in certain ways such as eye color, hair color, and so on.
He shook the thoughts away as it was still wrong no matter what.
