Sweet Devil [BL]

Chapter 86. Let's Get my Sister a Girlfriend

Misha had almost no memories of his grandmother's funeral. Did he even attend to it in his past life? He honestly couldn't remember. His mind was too foggy. It seemed that his past self did come, but at the same time, he also had the feeling he hadn't. One thing for sure, however, was that attending her burial was not an enjoyable experience, and he could have done without it.

Fiddling with the buttons of his sleeve cuffs, Misha looked around the church in search of some familiar faces. But he soon realized that he knew almost no one except for his immediate family. Besides them, there was also Gabriel, Stephan, and even Yuki, who had come to offer their sympathy.

For the nth time, Misha couldn't help but throw a glance at the nurse, discreetly sizing her up. She stood beside Masha, helping her move about her wheelchair, very attentive to her every need.

It had been a few months since his sister's accident, and Masha had more or less grown accustomed to her new physical condition. She could now get around without help, yet neither she nor Yuki seemed to want to bring up the subject. Instead, the nurse silently cooperated with the teenage girl, lending a hand whenever Masha asked for it. Sometimes, his sister didn't even need to ask, and Yuki was already by her side—just like today.

Yuki had no reason to come to the funeral; however, she was nevertheless here, quietly supporting Masha. She didn't attend the burial as her nurse but as her friend. Anyone could tell that they had grown closer over the past few months. And along the way, Yuki had also started helping with the house chores. Whether it was for cleaning up or cooking, she was always ready to lend a helping hand. It reduced Misha's workload by a lot, to the point where the child was left with so much free time that he sometimes wondered what to do.

Smacking his lips, Misha observed the two a little longer. His sister had tried not to cry during the ceremony, but it was without much success. The tears still rolled down her cheeks, and she was now burying her head in the crook of Yuki's neck, sniffling and hiccupping. The nurse, who was kneeling on one knee, didn't say anything and gently stroked her back. Her face appeared expressionless, but her eyes seemed to shine with tenderness whenever they landed on Masha.

"What are you thinking about?" Gabriel faintly chuckled, his voice snapping Misha out of his thoughts. "If you keep on staring at those two so much, they're going to feel awkward."

"...Is Yuki in love with my sister?" Misha asked in a low voice, looking around to make sure no one would hear them.

Because the boy stood in an inconspicuous corner, there wasn't anyone nearby. Stephan had long disappeared to who knows where, whereas his father was talking with Fredrick and his friends. Everyone seemed to have forgotten his existence except for Gabriel.

"Well, that," Gabriel coughed, a little taken aback by the child's straightforward question. "It's—"

"Or is my sister in love with her? They're suspicious, very suspicious," Misha interrupted, seemingly talking to himself. "What do you think? Don't they look good together? Wouldn't Yuki be a good partner for my sister?"

The words freely left Misha's mouth, a smile in his voice. He suggested such a thing because the nurse was always there for his sister, and he had a pretty strong hunch that it wasn't only due to her job. She was supposed to come two to three times a week, yet she was at their house five days a week. Sometimes, she would show up on the weekends or holidays.

Moreover, Yuki took Masha's side no matter what. She even scolded Misha when he stumbled upon their conversation a while back and discovered his sister's lies, which had sent him into a fit of anger. Although it lacked tact, it prevented Misha from saying things he'd have regretted.
