Chapter 55 – The Sister's True Feelings
Yui's POV
"Hey, Yui…are you feeling okay?"
"What do you mean, Nodoka-chan?" I asked her as we were walking home together (due to there being no clubs today).
"Well…with how cold you acted towards Ui this morning…are you two fighting?"
"Huh? Well…"
Right…she was there when Ui showed up…
"…it's no big deal, Nodoka-chan. I was just grumpy from lack of sleep. I'm all better now!" I cheered with a thumbs up.
"Really now?"
"Yep! All good!"
"So, nothing's going on with you and Ui? Nothing at all?"
"Yep! It's totally cool!"
"I see…" Was all Nodoka-chan said to me.
…
…
..
She then stopped in front of me and finger-flicked my forehead as hard as she possibly could.
"O-Ow!"
And it really hurt a lot.
"Yui…quit lying to me and tell me what's going on with you."
"H-How did you know I was lying?!"
"Please…I'm your best friend who's been with you since preschool. I can tell when you're spouting nonsense. Now talk."
"*sigh* I really can't hide anything from you…" I whined with a sweatdrop of defeat. "…Ui and I aren't fighting. I'm just…pissed off at her right now."
"YOU'RE pissed at Ui? What could she have possibly done to get YOU upset at her?"
"Well…" I went silent for a bit. "…y-you know how Ui's a complete and utter siscon towards me?"
"Yeah…w-wait, you noticed that?"
"It was kinda hard not to. Ui wasn't really good at hiding it. Especially during season 2 of the anime."
"I-I see…" Nodoka-chan gained a sweatdrop. "…o-okay, so does that have to do with you being upset at her?"
"Um…well…l-let's just say that…th-the roles have reversed now."
"Reversed?" It didn't take long for Nodoka-chan to figure out what I was talking about. Because after just a few seconds of silence, she grew a faint blush on her face. "Y-Yui! Y-You have romantic feelings for Ui?!"
"*sigh* Yeah…" I admitted with a sad tone.
"B-B-B-But…sh-sh-she's your SISTER! Do you know how illegal that is?!"
"Of course, I know how illegal it is! Which is why I've been trying to get rid of them! But that oblivious sister of mine keeps making it harder for me! Why won't she open her goddamn eyes already?!"
I was about to cry in full rage from remembering the stuff that's happened so far. But I managed to hold it in. Mainly because we're in public…but I also don't want Nodoka-chan to see me like that.
It'll probably traumatize her…
"And besides…this isn't the first time I've felt this way towards Ui."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
I went silent again. Not really sure how she'll take this. But I'm gonna have to bring this up if I want her to understand.
"Do you remember my ex-boyfriend from middle school?"
"Tch. You mean that prick that broke up with you because you wouldn't sleep with him? The hell are you bringing HIM up for?"
Yep. She still hates him. I gained a mental sweatdrop.
"After the break-up, Ui comforted me and expressed the same feelings for him then as you did now. A-And, well…th-that's when the feelings began to show up."
"I see…so, it's been a thing since middle school?"
"W-Well, no. I did manage to get rid of them once we got into high school. And kept it that way for nearly three years. But then…four months ago…Zoé-chan moved here. And it was revealed that she and Ui were dating for the past month.
And that's when the feelings came back."
"Wow…Yui, I had no idea. Why didn't you say anything before?"
"Because I never wanted to. My intent was to keep it a secret and hopefully, it would go away on its own again like last time. But then Azu-nyan forced it out of me, who then told Mugi-senpai, who then told Himeko…and that's basically how we became a couple.
But even then…I'm still struggling with these feelings. I want to get rid of them…but Ui keeps making it harder for me! With all the affection and kissing and flat-out ignoring me…and with the ultimate stab in the heart being when I walked in on them scissoring each other on the bed!"
"Y-Yui…" Nodoka-chan gained a huge blush from me mentioning that part.
"I was so angry…FREAKING PISSED, even…that I F-bombed Ui and ran out of the house crying. And I haven't gone back or spoken with her since."
"I-I see…*clears throat* w-well, Yui. If you want these feelings to go away, you're gonna have to forgive Ui at some point."
"I know, but…so much has already happened. I don't think I can speak to Ui all normally like how it used to be. Some part of resentment is still going to show up."
…
"But…I do want to forgive her and move on. For my sanity's sake."
"I see…"
*RINGTONE CHIME*
"O-Oh. Sorry, Yui. I-I, uh…left something back at school. I-I'll text you later, okay?"
"Huh? Oh…okay, then." I said with a confused look. "See you tomorrow, Nodoka-chan."
"Later!" Nodoka-chan then ran off in a different direction once we hit an intersection. While I continued walking alone. Basically looking for something to do until Himeko gets off of work.
…
…
…
"Well…I could at least try to go home." I said to myself.
Nodoka's POV
"*sigh* I think I went far enough." I said to myself as I took out a voice recorder from my schoolbag. "Hey, Zoé-san. You out here?"
"Yes. I am herru." Zoé-san said as she came from behind a nearby tree. "Thenk you so ever much foru doing this, Nodoka-senpai. This shourd rearry herp a rot."
"No problem, Zoé-san." I went silent for a bit. "Still though…to think that Yui was dealing with something like that. I mean…I had my suspicions for a while. But I never thought it would be her having incestual feelings for Ui."
"It rearry tooku me by surprise, as werru. Now I unnuderstand why Yui-senpai seems tū hate me so much."
"Hate you?" I asked in shock.
"She was fine unnutiru I showed up. And it was reveared that Ui and I were dating. Afteru ristening tū heru own words, I now know that she stirru had feerings foru Ui. Even though she has suppressed it foru so rong."
Zoé-san then held the voice recorder tightly in her hand as she gained a look of pure determination.
"But now with this recorded voice, I can have Ui unnuderstand heru sisteru's turrue feerings. And maybe have the twó reunite as the dearu sisters they were. Thenk you again, Nodoka-senpai."
W-Wait, she's going to show this to Ui?! That can't be good!
"Z-Zoé-san, wait!" I tried calling out to her. But she had ran off in excitement with the voice recorder in hand. Determined to fix this problem.
And leaving me with tons of worry.
I've got a bad feeling about this…
Ui's POV
"My intent was to keep it a secret and hopefully, it would go away on its own again like last time..."
"But even then…I'm still struggling with these feelings. I want to get rid of them…but Ui keeps making it harder for me! With all the affection and kissing and flat-out ignoring me…"
"But…I do want to forgive her and move on. For my sanity's sake..."
"W-Wow…so, that's what it is. O-Onee-chan…has feelings for me. The same feelings I've been having for years. I can't believe she felt the same way."
"It was a shokku tū me, tū. Maybe Azusa was right about the "dynamics of K-ON Fanfiction changing foru years tū come". Naniveru that means."
"Z-Zoé-chan…please stop listening to Azusa-chan about that stuff." I gained a sweatdrop.
I was at home alone…crying to myself once more after how coldly Onee-chan treated me at school today…when Zoé-chan called me and said that I had to listen to something important.
That being Onee-chan's love confession.
"So, it first came during middle school…then went away for three years until we told everyone we were going out. *sigh* I feel so guilty. I was the one that started all of this and carelessly continued enjoying myself while she emotionally suffered. Some sister I am…"
"Ui, it is okay." Zoé-chan said. "Now, that you know nani is going on, you can aporogize tū Yui-senpai properry this taim. And perhaps you can be forgiven."
"Easier said than done. She hasn't come home since that night when she…walked in on us. I don't think she wants to come back after seeing that."
"I aguree. That does seem tū be a huge hurdre."
It'll take a freaking miracle for her to come home at this point…
"By the way...who is this ex-boyfriend Yui-senpai and Nodoka-senpai were tarking about? Was he rearry that bad?"
"Well, he broke up with Onee-chan…completely disregarding the good times they had together…simply because she wouldn't have sex with him. So, yeah…I think he's the biggest douchebag in the world." I said in mild anger from having to think about THAT guy again.
"I see…"
"Hey, Ui. You home?"
"Th-That's Onee-chan!" I yelled in shock after suddenly hearing a voice from downstairs. "I-I'll see you tomorrow, Zoé-chan!"
"Bonne chance, Ui!" I'm not really sure what she just said. But judging from her cheery tone, I assumed it meant "good luck!".
Thank you, Zoé-chan…
I hung up my phone and rushed downstairs to meet up with Onee-chan…who had a pretty negative look on her face.
Which made me rethink my approach at the last second.
I-I should probably slow down a little…
"H-Hey…Onee-chan. W-Welcome home." I said.
"Yeah…thanks." Was all she replied with.
…
…
…
This is so awkward. I think I'll just make the first move…
"O…O-Onee-chan, I…"
"Ui…I-I'm sorry."
"H-Huh?" I was taken aback by the sudden apology.
"I'm…sorry for treating you badly these past few weeks. I was just so angry…a-and I couldn't hold it in any longer."
"Onee-chan…" I went silent for a bit. "…No. I should be the one who should be sorry. I was completely oblivious to your true feelings. And made you suffer with them for so long…"
"M-My true…feelings? Ui, what are you…"
"Onee-chan…I-I know. I-I know that you've had incestuous feelings for me."
…
…
…
"Wh-Wha…WH-WHAT?! H-H-H-HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" Onee-chan yelled in complete shock.
"Zoé-chan told me everything. In fact…she had asked Nodoka-chan to secretly record you so that I could understand."
"Z-Zoé…did?"
"She said that she hated how we were drifting apart like this. And wanted to fix it so that we can all be happy."
I then went dead silent as my depressed look grew even more.
"But even I know it can't be that simple. Me and my damn innocent obliviousness…I FREAKING HATE IT! WAAAAAAAA~!"
I then broke down crying. Releasing hard tears as I had nearly fallen to the floor in angst. Hating myself for letting this emotional drift go on for this long.
…
This would've continued for a long time, too…if Onee-chan hadn't raised me back up and hugged me tightly around my body. Not saying a word while doing so.
And in turn…I returned the hug. Feeling the same comfort I once gave her back in middle school.
And it felt really really good.
"Ui. Do you…wanna talk?"
"Y…Yeah. I would."
And so, here we were…sitting in Onee-chan's room. Both of us still dead silent from before. Not really knowing how to start this "talk" we agreed on.
But, gee…being in this room again is triggering my memories as a total siscon. Just the scent is turning me on~. *derpy giggle*…
"Ui…are you getting turned on right now?"
"Wh-What? No! Of course not!" I reacted to Onee-chan's question with the utmost seriousness. "Why would I get turned on by my own sister?! Hahahaha…"
…
…
…
But then quickly gave in due to her looking at me with the most unamusement I've ever seen from her.
"Y-Yeah. I am."
"*sigh* You really are a siscon."
"Well, you're not any better. Having sexual fantasies about me while pleasuring yourself. Just how dirty is your mind?"
"Well, who's fault do you think that is? I wouldn't be like this if you didn't come to comfort me back then."
"If I didn't, you would've gone ahead and gotten fucked by that douchey prick of a boyfriend you had!"
"You mean how like you fucked Zoé over the summer?! You're just as much of a horny dog as he was!"
"You're comparing me to HIM?! You've got some nerve, you damn hypocrite!"
"Look who fucking talking!"
"You're one to fucking talk!"
"Grr…"
"Grr…"
This "talk" was going down south fast. With all this sudden anger now coming out, there doesn't seem like any chance of making up. Which is honestly heartbreaking.
So much for living all peacefully…
"That's enough! Both of you!"
"Huh?! N-Nodoka-chan?!" We both yelled in shock after noticing her standing by the door.
"*sigh* This was exactly what I was worried about. I should've stopped Zoé-san when I had the chance."
"Nodoka-chan! You were in on this?!" Onee-chan asked. "Why'd you had to go tell this SISCON about my problem?!"
"Why'd you had to tell this PERVERT about my problem?!" I asked.
"WHY'D YOU HAD TO BUTT IN?!"
"SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Both of us cowered in fear from hearing Nodoka-chan yell at us like that. And more importantly…hearing her swear.
W-Woah…
"Look…sorry you had to hear that. But this fight has gone on long enough! I'm not going to have my two childhood friends ruin their sisterly bond over freaking incest! Now…we're going to have a nice normal talk about this…and I don't care how long it takes! Do you understand me?!"
"Y-Yes, ma'am!" We both replied. Still scared out of our minds.
"Good. Now, let's get started."
We both let out a stressed sigh of relief. Glad that the yelling was done and over with.
Since when was Nodoka-chan so scary?
Nodoka's POV
*sigh* This was exactly what I feared would happen. The two of them knowing each other's secrets all suddenly like that…of course, it would cause more tension between them.
It really is a good thing that I decided to come here…
"Okay…so, let's get everything straighten out." I said as I sat in between the two sisters. "Yui feels bad for treating Ui badly. And Ui feels bad for ignoring Yui's feelings. Am I right so far?"
"Y-Yes…" Both sisters said softly.
"Now…both of you want to forgive each other…but find it difficult due to these feelings you each have. Right?"
"Y-Yes…" Both softly replied again.
So far so good…
"Alright. So to finally put everything beneath the grave, I suggest that the two of you be COMPLETELY honest with each other. And by that, I mean confess EVERYTHING about your feelings."
"E-Everything?!"
"Everything."
The two looked at each other with uneasy looks on their faces. Something like this was definitely outside their comfort zone. But I'm sure that they both knew that this was the only way to move on from this.
Whether they like it or not.
"Well…I guess I'll go first." Ui said. "Onee-chan. T-To be honest…I always hated your middle school boyfriend. I hated the fact that he took you away from me…a sister who adored you to the point of sexual desire. And when he dumped you for not sleeping with him, it filled me with so much rage.
…
So much so that…I…intentionally said those things to you. Hoping to get you to fall in love with me."
"U…Ui…" Yui said in shock.
"I know it was wrong of me to do such a thing. But with the mixed feelings of anger and lust flowing within me, I couldn't resist. And took the opportunity of a lifetime. I hope you're not mad at me."
"Ui…" Yui went dead silent for a while. "…well…I guess I have no right to be mad at you. After what I did back then."
"What you did?"
"W-Well…y-you know how you had no friends during your second year of middle school?"
"Yeah…everyone thought I had some kind of "contagious disease" and stayed away from me. It wasn't until my third-year physical that I proved otherwise. And I still never found out who started such a lie."
"Well…that's because I started it."
"H-Huh?"
"W-Wait, seriously?! That was YOU?!" I asked in pure shock.
Yui simply nodded. Either too ashamed to answer vocally or too scared of my sudden reaction.
I did kinda traumatize them earlier with the yelling…
"Geez, Yui…do you know how much mass hysteria you caused that year? People were treating that fake disease as if it was freaking Covid."
"I know, but…I only did it so that I could have Ui all to myself. After I gained these feelings, I became easily jealous of any person who got close to her. So…I-I started that lie. Told the other students that the "disease" was deadly if they got it and that I was the only person immune to it. S-Since we're sisters and all."
"W-Wow…" Was all Ui replied with.
"And if I'm being FULLY honest…I was going to do the same thing once you got started high school. But I ended up taking a liking to both Azu-nyan and Jun-chan. And in turn…it made the feelings go away.
…
Or…so I thought."
"I see…makes sense to me." I said.
"So, when you think about it…we're both to blame for this going too far, aren't we?" Ui asked.
"I'd say that's a valid conclusion."
"*sigh* I'm sorry, Onee-chan. I let my emotions get the better of me."
"I'm sorry too, Ui. I let my own feelings blind me with rage and hatred for my own and only sister. I hope you can forgive me."
"As long as you can forgive me, Onee-chan."
"It's a deal!" Yui cheered with a thumbs up. Which made Ui laugh a little.
"Well, I'm glad you two were able to make up." I said. "I would let you hug it out…but knowing you two, you would probably turn it into a make-out session."
"N-No, we wouldn't!" Both girls clearly lied with blushed looks on their faces.
*giggle* Glad these two are back to normal. Maybe now we can start to enjoy our final year together. Without any more issues, either…
*RINGTONE CHIME*
"Hello?" Yui said as she answered her phone.
"Hey, Yui! It's us!"
"Mom! Dad!"
"Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad!" Ui cheered alongside Yui.
"You two seem happy. Are you both doing well?" Their dad asked.
"Yep. Doing well."
"Super well!" Yui added.
"Well, that's good to hear."
"I bet part of it is due to knowing that we'll be back home tomorrow, right?" Their mom asked.
"Yep! It's totally due to…w-wait, what?" Both sisters grew a pale look.
"Don't you two remember? We left messages on your phones."
"Uh…"
Did they seriously not notice the messages?
"…O-Oh, yeah! I remember!" Ui yelled out. "Don't you remember, Onee-chan?! It's circled on the calendar! Right?!"
"R-Right! I remember! I guess I was having too much fun that it slipped my mind! Totally like me! Hahahaha!"
"Well, it looks like it came back to you both." Their dad said. "We'll be there around 8:00 tomorrow night."
"See you soon!" Their mom added.
"Y-Yeah…s-see you soon." The sisters said before Yui hung up the phone.
…
…
…
"H…H-Hey, Ui…"
"Y-Yeah, Onee-chan?"
"D-Did you, uh…tell Mom and Dad that you were dating Zoé-chan?"
"N-No. I-I didn't."
"O-Oh…"
…
"D-Did you tell them that you were dating Tachibana-senpai?" Ui asked.
"N-No. I-I didn't."
"O-Oh…"
…
…
…
"N…N-Nodoka-chan~…"
"Pl-Please help us~…"
"*sigh* Son of a…" I facepalmed hard after the two of them looked at me with two of the biggest "Help me! I'm desperate!" looks I've ever seen.
Guess I spoke too soon…
Author's Note: With thanks to Zoé and Nodoka, Yui and Ui have finally made up and their emotional problems are over. Now it's just their new verbal problem of telling their parents that they're both gay.
…
I'm sure it'll go perfectly fine! Maybe…
Thanks for reading. Later.
