80. Don't tell

Comet growls at the man, but Mizar pulls him back. 'Comet, don't.' 

'Neith!' Celeste turns back. 'I'll be right back. Be nice to each other.' She walks to her sister's room, where she knocks first and opens the door. 

Surprised that her sister comes inside, Neith lets go of Dumon. 'Are you kidding me?' 

Quietly, Dumon laughs. 'We'll find another way.'

'Kite's here.' Celeste can see that Dumon's smile vanish. 'I have no idea what he's doing here. I do know that he's here for you.' 

'He has no right to be here.' Neith leans with her head on Dumon's chest. 

He kisses her head. 'He never did. Send him away, and we have some time for each other.' 

Sighing, she lifts her head. 'I will. Keep quiet, please, Dumon.' She gets off her bed and follows her sister back. 

'I didn't know you're so close to Neith and Celeste.' Kite looks down at the dog. 

'What are you doing here?' Mizar gets the ball from Comet. 'I don't...' 

'We're out.' Celeste is back and opens the door for Kite. 'Keep it short.' She leaves the apartment with Mizar and Comet. 

Kite closes the door and turns to Neith. 'I'm not happy with being replaced so soon, and with Quattro of all men. Although, I have my doubts now since Mizar is here.' 

'Paranoïd, Kite?' Neith knows that Dumon is close. 'And replace you? Kite, how can I can replace you if you haven't been there in the first place,' she crosses her arms. 'What are you doing here?' 

'I saw you flying? How do you explain that?' He still tries to comprehend how that is possible. 

'Excuse me?' She wants to keep it short. 'I don't have to explain myself to you. We are nothing for each other. I wanted to consider you a friend, but that's off the table now.' She opens the door. 'Get out, Kite.' 

Kite can see that there's something about her. He takes a step towards her. 'I made a mistake...' 

'You mean one?' She interrupts him. 

He wants to step closer but is stopped by her hand. 

Neith steps back. 'What are you doing?' 

'Trying something,' he sighs and takes another step closer. 'I made a big mistake.' 

She can see that there's something different and stops him when he tries to get closer. 'Kite, answer me. What are you doing?' 

'I never thought I would say this, but I forgive you,' he surprises himself. 'I don't want to let you go.' 

'Too late.' She realizes that he wants to try. 

Kite's face changes visible. 'You have someone?' 

'I'm seeing someone.' She's careful enough, not to mention Dumon's name. 

It feels like she swept the ground from underneath his feet, and his heart is stumped on. He swallows. 

'Taken or not, what makes you think I would want you back after everything you said?' She shakes her head. 'Get out.' 

Kite takes a step back and looks around. 'Is he here? Or is it Mizar?' He did see him leave with Celeste and the dog. 

'Now you're just speculating. Get out.' She pushes him outside and throws the door in his face.
