hang out

"shouldn't you know how you feel?"

it had been a week since kenma had bought his new game, and every time he saw hanako at school, he became flustered beyond belief. in all honesty, it made the brunette feel like she had done something wrong. sighing, hanako lay on her brothers bed, watching him lie on the floor as he stared at his phone. "do you wanna go somewhere?"

the question took hanako by surprise, but she nodded and sat up. since coming to tokyo, the siblings hadn't gone out once. "okay. where?" she asked, sliding her legs off the side of the bed.

"kuroo invited us to go to some cafe. you wanna go?" oh. hanako kind of wanted to hang out with her brother in a setting that wasn't either of their bedrooms, but she wasn't opposed to seeing her friend. it's kind of scary though, hanging out with him outside of school.

biting the inside of her cheek, she nodded, and katsuo grinned. "great! he'll probably bring kenma along too." blinking, hanako's neutral face contorted into a small frown, making her brother laugh. "i thought you liked kenma."

hesitantly, the girl began to explain how she'd felt recently. "i think he's really nice, but i'm pretty sure he's mad at me or something." she mumbled, bunching up the material of her sweatpants in her fists.

moving to sit on the bed next to her, katsuo placed a hand on her shoulder. "have you done anything to make him upset?" shaking her head adamantly, hanako's scowl grew wider.

"i've been thinking about it for days, but i don't remember doing or saying anything that might have offended him. maybe he's just tired of me." she muttered dejectedly, chest feeling extremely hollow. this is why i don't like making new friends.

placing a hand on her shoulder, the taller twin smiled reassuringly at his sister. "i doubt that. maybe you could ask him if he's okay? there might be something else going on." hanako grimaced, feeling selfish for immediately assuming that kenma had an issue with her.

what is with me? he probably doesn't care about me enough to get upset by anything i've done.

pressing her lips together, the brunette felt a strange and new feeling of hurt wash over her. she didn't like the idea that kenma didn't care about her. it led her to believe that she was getting way too attached to her new friends, and the urge to distance herself tingled over her skin in the almost painful manner she was so used to.

noticing her slight shift in demeanour, katsuo forced another smile on his face, knowing that hanako would blame herself if he showed any signs of being unhappy or worried. "hey, cheer up. we'll have a great time! you want a hug?" slowly, hanako nodded before letting her head fall against his chest. the boy chuckled, wrapping his arms around his sister. "it'll all be fine." he muttered, placing a soft kiss on the top of her head. "you're okay."
