"I don't like you."
"You don't know me."
"Doesn't matter. You seem like a prick."
"And you seem like an ass."
"Takes one to know one."
"What are you, five?"
I smirked in satisfaction as Kenta glared at me. We've been going back and forth with each other since Rimi left us alone, which I thought was a huge mistake.
She ran to the man in front of the door and hugged him tightly. He in turn hugged her back with a huge smile on his face. When they parted, he started signing to her, something about missing her, while at the same time she signed about why he was there in the first place. As he was about to respond, he finally noticed me in the room and glared.
"Rimi, who's the guy behind you?"
"Oh!" she said embarrassed. "Kenta this is Sasuke. Sasuke, my brother Kenta."
He nodded in my direction and I the same. I was kinda happy she didn't mention I was her boyfriend, because if I know big brothers I know they're overprotective about their younger siblings.
"I'll close up so we can catch up Kenta. Just give me a few okay?" Rimi asked. Kenta nodded smiling as she walked away.
This led us to where we are now.
"What are you doing with my sister?"
The magic question. "I'm her boyfriend."
His eyes narrowed. "How long?"
"A few months."
"So you obviously know she's deaf." It wasn't a question.
"Yes. I'm Naruto's friend. He reminded me how we use to go to school together."
"And now you suddenly care about her? I know about Naruto, he's a good kid, but that doesn't mean I'll trust you as easily."
"Would you trust me if I told you I was doing something good for Rimi?"
He laughed. "If you're gonna start the 'I'm a great boyfriend to your sister and the best thing that's ever happened to her' then I'll beat your ass right now."
"Considering you're already a suspect in murder I doubt you'd do that," I said shutting him up. He kept his glare on me so I continued. "What you said about me being the best thing that's happened to Rimi, it's actually the complete opposite. She's the best thing that's happened to me, and I'm very thankful. For that, I'm deciding to get her a gift."
He scoffed. "She's not impressed by material wealth."
"I'm gonna get her hearing back."
He stared at me. There was no real expression on his face, just a blank stare as he looked at me dead in the eye.
"You're funny."
"I'm not kidding."
"And how do you plan to pull that off, kid?"
"I'm going to get her cochlear implants."
"You can't afford it."
"I'm an Uchiha. I'll get the money."
"What makes you think she even wants the implants?"
My eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean?"
He scoffed and turned away from me, staring at the direction Rimi left. He looked highly annoyed, but not annoyed enough to completely stop arguing with me.
"My little sister has been deaf for quite some time. She's socially awkward and I know she feels a lonely, but she's been living with it long enough to grow accustomed to it. Have you even asked her if she wants to hear again? Of course I think it would be wonderful, but I won't do anything that my sister doesn't want."
"So you've been trying to get money for the operation too."
He nodded. "Just in case, but if she's fine with her life I won't push her."
"Then I'm not very impressed with you," I started, making him stare at me questioningly. "Obviously you haven't even asked her either."
"Don't start with me Uchiha. I may not be a murderer even though everyone thinks I am, but I will beat the shit outta you if you're out of line."
"I don't think Rimi would appreciate that."
He paused for a moment, but before he could give me an answer Rimi came back out smiling at both of us.
"Sorry I took so long guys. Hey Sasuke, I guess I'll have to catch you later."
"It's no problem," I said kissing her cheek in reassurance. She giggled, and walked out with her brother. I followed behind them, and after she locked the door and they were leaving, I saw Kenta look back at me and point his two fingers at me. The universal sign of "I'm watching you."
