I know your secret. ( Revamp )

You aren't my Kiyo. ( Readers pov ) ⚠️

"..It's a moving object that isn't alive but isn't big!?" Me and Kiyo had been here for an hour, we hadn't gotten to the idea of the talent exam, we played twenty questions for majority of the time we had already been here. He took a sip of his tea lifting it up slowly to his mouth. "..That is what I said isn't it?" He took a sip, and put his empty cup down. I sat there for a moment before I responded back to him. "Is it one of those electric vacuum cleaners?!" I said happily, it for the description perfectly! He smirked, and answered with a nod. "..I almost didn't get that!" I responded, I folded my arms as I lifted a brow cockily. My attention quickly turned to our waitress who brought Korekiyo a second tea, She set it down in front of him and took the empty glass as she walked away once more, heels clicking against the concrete floor. "Did she catch your eye?" Kiyo spoke up as he lifted the cup to his lips and blew gently, the smoke flew in the opposite direction of his lips. "..What!? Oh- no! Her heels caught my attention- I'm sorry if it seemed I was not paying attention to you." He shook his head lowering his cup to his chin. "It is not that, It is just we haven't touched on the topic we have came here for, I was wondering if you were avoiding it by outside factors such as..her heels, or twenty questions."
Korekiyo was right, I felt awful about going up against his sister and what are the odds of her and me having the same talent? I put my hands onto the edge of the booth seat gripping it tightly. "I can tell you aren't ready. If it is because it is my sister, I can tell you now, she said she would back out." I looked at him, my expression quickly changing from disappointment to surprise. "..What!? Is this because of me!? Miyadera shouldn't have to do that!" "-R/N. She offered, after all, she is not as passionate about her ultimate as you are." I felt a gut ache. Was this my fault!? Miyadera sure wasn't too fond of me but she was stepping out of the talent exam just because..of me? "Please don't tell me you talked her into that!" I gripped the table now, my ache getting worse in my stomach. "Miyadera made the choice on her own behalf, I would not want her to step out of the talent exam." It made sense, Korekiyo cared deeply for his sister, I felt bad that sometimes I would effect his perspective of her. I sighed, as my hands finally moved to my lap. They clasped onto each other. "..I'm sorry Kiyo, I haven't been able to fully express to you that I am! I mean choosing between your sister and your friend is a terrible choice!" My shoulders fell softly, as the sorrow in my eyes grew. Kiyo, set down his cup onto the tiny plate that came along with it. His face stayed the same, he looked to me, not speaking a word for a minute or so. "..It is the way that the universe had intended for this to go. I feel conflicted between my sister and you." "Did she say something..I mean! While you two were talking..?" I wanted to take back my words that exact second I finished the sentence, his face changed, he looked away from me, his eyes looking down to his lap. He spoke nothing as I tried to think of something to break the silence. "..Kiyo-" "-Perhaps you were wrong about Miyadera..she..might just be having trouble expressing her emotions correctly, She cried when I confronted her. I did not mean to make my dear sister cry. She just did, perhaps we were wrong about her." Kiyo spoke with such emotion, it was very painful to listen to, I frowned to him. "..Kiyo, she has always been manipulative to you, It's harder for you to see it because you're her brother.." "You do not know her like I do R/N. We have been the harsh ones." There it was. The silence again, we sat it in and I believe it was more comforting than talking to each other. I bit my tongue and spoke quickly as I had nothing to lose, I knew Miyadera was not the angel she claimed to be.
"..Kiyo you have seen every side of her..I- We talked about this! After all..she wouldn't cry unless she realized you had more power over her than she did you! Kiyo please..-" "She is sick." I paused, realizing my words would effect him more than I thought they would, she is his sister, I cannot change that. "..What do you mean she's sick Kiyo..?" "..She is sick. It is not her fault for wanting to spend time with me, she has known me her whole life. Any person would want to be with their family if they were dying." I felt my heart drop, she was dying? I put my hand to my mouth covering the shock I had expressed. "..I.." That was the only thing I could muster up, Did she only tell Kiyo? Miyadera was quite popular at school..did anyone know..? Is that why she is stepping out of the talent exam? "R/N?" Kiyo's voice played in my ears, I felt awful, I spoke without thinking and..she was dying. "..Kiyo I'm so sorry." "I can see the guilt you hold aganist yourself, you did not know. I am just conflicted, if I pursue my relationship with you more or if I spend more time with her. She refuses to get help, even though treatment is available." My hand lowered away from my face, as I placed both hands back into my lap. "..So she is denying treatment..? Why..?" His eyes glanced at his tea, he picked up the cup from the handle as he took a slow sip of it. "The treatment they offer has not been fully tested." It made sense, treatment that has not been fully tested was scary, for someone who was sick, you would want to know all of the side effects and if it even worked. "..I see, I'm so sorry Kiyo, you must have a lot on your shoulders. Well you didn't have to come here today if your sister wanted to spend time with you..!" He shook his head, his eyes tracing the rim of the tea cup. "..You mean very much to me, if my sister changes her mind and if you fail..we won't be able to spend as much time together, nor would I be able to keep notes for you in class." I chuckled, causing him to crack a smile. "..If Miyadera really backed out, I doubt she would try to go show up to the talent exam." He nodded, agreeing with me. "..Are you nervous?" He asked, I shook my head. "I got this! I feel a bit more comfortable knowing she might not even show up!" He set down his cup back onto the tea plate. Resting his head onto the both seat. "..R/N..?" I looked at him. "..Yes Kiyo?" "..I am worried for her." He sighed, shutting his eyes as he clearly felt stressed out about all the stuff going on his life. "..You should head back home, I think seeing her will make you feel better.." Kiyo lifted up his head and smiled at me. He sat up straight, fixing his hair. He pulled out his Wallet and grabbed the money he had. Placing it onto the table. Our waitress came to our table and handed the bill to him. I pulled out my phone from my bag as I looked at my notifications. Instagram..Tiktok..Youtube..Miu...Miu! I opened the notification unlocking my phone as I pulled my phone fully out of my bag and in front of me.
She messaged me (Hey R/N ! Text me when you can I wanted to ask if you needed help still with that talent exam. I hope you pass so you can stay in class with me and your lover boy. Love ya ❤️)
I smiled at my phone and replied with a simple heart emoji, she knew what it meant. I set my phone back into my bag zipping it up. When I looked ahead of me, Kiyo was staring at me, it wasn't a creepy stare but a gentle one. "I paid." He spoke, I grabbed my bag and flung it over one shoulder. "You ready?" I asked, feeling my backpack vibrate again. Was it Miu again? She knew that went I sent a heart back I was still out and going to reply later. It had to be someone else. I scooted out of the booth and flung the other backpack strap onto my second shoulder. Kiyo left a tip and walked me out of the cafe.
It was a quiet walk home, Kiyo offered to do so. We had nothing to speak about sense we left the cafe. The weather was normal, no weird activity was going on so, there was nothing to even bring up relatively interesting. We were close to my home, the sun had already began to set, I felt like saying anything that my mind could think of but I felt to awkward talking. Would it be too much of me to ask if he was alright? "..R/N!" I heard from behind me, I turned around gripping the straps of my backpack. I looked at Kiyo who was at least five feet behind me. I skipped by the entrance gate of my home without noticing. "Oh! We're here! I hardly noticed eheh.." I turned and walked to the gate of my home standing in front of Kiyo. My throat tightened holding back words but I just blurted them out! "..I'm sorry." I'm such a dumbass! What was that!? "Hm..? Why R/N?" He responded, I felt my face heat up from embarrassment as my hands guided themselves to my face, feeling the heat with the tips of my fingers. "I just- .." I sighed. "-I'm sorry for being so awkward today after I learned about your sister..I feel awful!" "You're apologizing for being awkward?" He giggled. "..R/N you really are a piece of work, someone such as yourself you have always been someone to belittle yourself so greatly. You did not know, it is not something to apologize for, you are a human it takes time to process emotions. Such an emotion such as despair would take a long time to process." He put a hand onto my shoulder and caressed it with care. "..Thank you Kiyo, I mean hey! Who knows maybe your sister is processing it too!" I tried to make Kiyo feel better, the placement of his hand moved off of me and back to his side. "..My sister is done processing, she has known this her whole life. She only told me recently." I watched his fist clench. Did he feel guilty? "-She probably just didn't want to worry you!-" "-R/N we are so close, even if she told me sooner my worry for her would never change." "-She was probably just scared-" "-That is why I am here for her!-" "-She knows you love her-" "-THAT IS ENOUGH!" The tone change scared me, I felt my heart speed up as one foot stepped away from him. His demeanor changed, I did want to help. Although I pushed it. "..SHE IS DYING! SHE IS SICK! If she told me sooner I would have had an idea- A-A plan! We have so little time now..I cannot help her! I should have never told you!.." He realized his demeanor change when my body started to physically shake, my hands began to sweat as well as my head. My pupils dilated. My body pushing back, even though I wanted to push forward. "..R/N.."
I ran inside, pushing open the fence gate with the side of my body and running towards the door. I felt my body give out the second I shut the door behind me, my legs gave out as I sat against the now closed door that separated me from Kiyo. I took a few deep breaths, it took awhile, although I couldn't recall time in that moment. My hand reached to my bag still behind me pressed against the door as I unzipped it to check my phone. One new message from Miu.

( You know Miyadera right? )
