"Korekiyo." I said as I took their hand, nothing in the world had mattered like they mattered to me in this moment. They were so beautiful, a human with such care for others, a human that would defend someone even when others wouldn't. R/N was..special.

I was pulled away by Miyadera, she waited until R/N had fully left, even closing the door behind them as well. She stood in front of me, her smaller stature was typical for me as I had to look down to her as we spoke. She sighed, I didn't respond knowing she had something to say after she exhaled fully. "Korekiyo, you and I know very well that my illness is only getting worse, I hate to worry you, let alone make you feel as though you're at fault. Although I am getting worse, yet you continue to hang out with R/N over me..besides, the talent exam coming up, you seem to be more on their side rather than mine." I played with my hair as she spoke, gently running my fingers against each strand of hair, one by one I looped the strands over each other, more focused on my hair than my sister. I did care, very deeply, although the way she spoke felt manipulative. "Sister, R/N has been my friend for over a decade now, I live with you and spend every moment of my time talking with you, but R/N is special-" "So am I! Korekiyo I am your sister!" My fingers let loose of the hair I had been holding onto as it fell back into place. I put my hands to my sides and looked at her. She looked to me as if she believed she held all the power against me, oh humans, oh it is so easy to read you now that R/N has opened my eyes. "You are my sister, I do care, however R/N is my friend. There are many chances that I will not see them in the future depending on the talent exam, I will spend my time with them equally as I do to you. I understand that you are sick, however the doctors we have gone to all know what is wrong but you refuse to get treatment."
She stood in silence as I looked down to her, foolish humans always know when they are wrong, they push to not admit it. I know when they are guilty. "Korekiyo, I refuse to get treatment because the treatment they have been offering hasn't fully been tested, I do not wish to get sicker if this treatment does not work out. If you really care so much about R/N..I will step out of the talent exam and let them stay in the talent course." Shock. She wouldn't do that, would she? Miyadera liked her talent, at least I thought she did. "You are lying, you want to stay in the talent course with me. It's obvious you want R/N gone but I've realized that you are the problem between me and them. What a waste of my breath speaking to you about such a beautiful human you cannot understand yourse-"
Without thinking, I caught my words back onto my tongue. She was crying. One tear caught my eye, a tear that was genuine, true. What have I done? I have been spending too much time relying on R/N's vision of Miyadera and not my own. I know my sister..don't I? I have stood with my sister on the grounds of earth, and heaven. What if R/N was a bad influence on me?
"..I only want the best for you Kiyo..I don't want anyone taking away our happiness. Although..if you need to go with them without me, then just be safe."
She wiped her cheeks making sure that they were dry, her eyes were puffy and red as she blinked a few more times so left over tears could fall out. A pain ached in my heart, guilt. I knew this was guilt because only I could feel so guilty to my sister, she only wanted what was best. As she is human, humans are so..interesting. "Dear sister, I don't mean to cause you harm." She looked to me raising her eyebrows as the mascara around her eyes smudged down her rosey cheeks that had been tainted by sopping tears. "I know Kiyo, although sometimes it feels like I..am only your second choice. Even though I am family." Her head bowed, her hand brushed against her face again, I assume to wipe away more tears. How could I be so..cruel!? I had no idea my poor sister had felt so keenly of me. I knew she loved me but..to think I had changed my perspective of her because of R/N. What monster am I..!? I am no human, I am a flaw. I gripped my bag that was hanging off of my shoulder, my muscles cramped but to me that was my least concern as I stared at her in pain. To put...such pain onto someone who was supposed to be family. To hurt someone so..dearly. "Miyadera?" I spoke, loosing my grip onto my bag. She looked up, her eyes filled with sadness, her cheeks damped with tears. "..I will make it up to you dear sister." Quickly her expression changes as if she was expecting to hear me say such. She jolted to me, wrapping her arms around me, it felt more of a squeeze then a gentle embrace. I pulled back as she smiled to me, resting her hands on my shoulders. "..Kiyo you always choose whats right..!" I nodded, before she responded I felt my pocket buzz. It grabbed my attention just for a moment but the sudden facial expression I had made caught the attention of Miyadera as well. "Tell you what brother! You and me should spend a day together at our favorite theme park like when we were preteens! You loved the roller coasters there! Just us!" I gave my attention back to her forgetting about my phone.
"Miyadera, tickets cost more than fifty for two people. Besides we can just go out to the park and hang out there while you feed the ducks at the pond again." She kept her attention on me but her eyes trailed down to the floor as she removed her hands slowly from my shoulders to clasp them together under her waist but in front of her. "..You always liked the theme park though. It's a good get away option as well!" I questioned this. "What would we be getting away from?" She chuckled, looking back up to me as hair fell in her face. "..Just everyone. Well- I'll let you run off with your friend. I know you'll keep your promise with me about going somewhere together so I have nothing to worry about. I..I think I'll walk you out." I didn't really have a response for her, I let her follow me as I walked through the isle of the desks and made my way out of the classroom. I opened the door and saw a few people standing outside of the classroom, I counted as they passed by speaking to each other, talking on the phone, some passed by me and gave me glares. I knew I was disliked. I stepped out of the classroom with Miyadera behind me, she shut the door and walked with me down the halls. I counted again, silencing out the people that crowded the halls. Remarks thrown to me was a normal thing, I silenced it, after all, they had an excuse. Humans were truly a mystery.
I was out, I felt more comfortable being outside, the crowded halls felt condemned. I would not mind them if I wasn't so hated. I stopped walking, I heard my sister stop as well, I looked left. I looked right. I looked forward once more. Right, then left, then forward. "Brother, maybe they have left?" I felt my face frown, as I was looking forward to grabbing something to eat with R/N. "Kiyo!-Kiyo..!" I heard their voice, my face lifted in spirit as I turned to see them running out of the school. "I'm so sorry-! Oh-..Ohhh god..." They slouched and held their hands onto their knees, I assume to catch their breath as they took in long, sharp, unhealthy breaths. I briefly looked at my sister, then back at R/N. "..okay- Okay I'm sorry I just ran back into the school because you didn't answer my text..I needed to know if you were safe! Besides it seems like a lot of people are staying after today for clubs, last thing I want is Junko saying something again." They stood up straight and walked towards me, with some pride in their step. They looked at Miyadera and then at me as they stepped closer to stop. "Miyadera! Are you coming with us?" They always seemed chipper, even on low energy they tried to at least stay a bit positive, unless this was just the doing of the adrenaline still pumping causing them to act energized. "..I think it's best if you and my brother went alone, I walked him out is all." Miyadera held my arm, as she spoke about me. R/N didn't say anything, they were used to seeing this. "Okay..! Uhm..Kiyo did you want to leave now?" They questioned, I looked at Miyadera who was still holding my arm. "Yes R/N." When I spoke this Miyadera backed away from me and waved to me and R/N she began walking home. I watched, maybe for too long. I watched her walk from my arm to the school gate, I saw her turn and fade from view. Her braid bounced behind her as she walked. I subconsciously let out a soft sigh. Turning my head in R/N's direction.
         "..You don't look to good Kiyo. Are you sure you want to go out? We can always wait!" R/N, so patient, so kind. They didn't mean to change my perspective of my sister, they just had their own. Not accomplishing to change mine. It was not their fault for any of this, not their fault for how I felt, or how I acted. They just supported my choices. I cupped my lips inward into my mouth as I felt my chest tightening again. Guilt. "It does not have to wait, your talent exam is next week, we must proceed with this today." "If you aren't feeling well we don't have to!" I felt those words stop time for me, R/N. Why do you care so much for me? "..Really It is quite alright, let's go get your shortcake." I turned my torso around as the rest of my body followed, R/N was beside me as they held onto their bag, their hand falling to their side as they walked. It was silent, but peaceful.
         "R/N, I appreciate your company." I broke the silence, I felt their eyes land on me, I didn't dare to look at them back as my heart would feel so heavy just gazing at them. "..I'm your best friend! I'll always be here for you..!" They were right, they were always there for me. Their pinky wrapped around mine as they gripped it. They didn't care if others judged me, they truly loved me. That was enough for me to feel..happy. "..I pinky pronise Kiyo."
