13. Not like him anymore(?)

Yuki saw his little action and knew that part of her speculation was true, she just wanted to confirm a bit more.

"Aki, right?"

The boy nodded.

"Hm.. Aki, do you know where we are going?", just because he was still a child, she had to choose her words well... it was not her being empathetic, it was what anyone would have done in this situation, she may be a loner, but she was intelligent enough to know about it and she always had had eloquent speech, not that she was able to show it, she was confident about it.

Though it may not seem like it, Yuki was low-key narcissistic.

"They didn't say anything? I'm sorry.. I didn't ask", Yuki could almost see droopy ears and a tail on him, was this the legendary 'abandoned puppy look', she wondered.... She will try the look and see how it look on her... one of these days!!

Ahem!

The boy was feeling a bit useless, she wasn't of any help to his Onee-chan, will she leave him as well?

Yuki saw his eyes tear up again, but he was trying hard to control them.

She didn't know how to coax someone, all she could do was, pat his head and say, "It's okay. I was just wondering... Anyway, let's go", she could only let out her hand for him to hold on, this was the best that she could do.

The boy looked at her hand and then at her face, the next moment he had a bright smile on his face, 'Onee-chan didn't abandon home, he was very happy.

This time he didn't shy away and held her bigger palm with his, his hold tight, he won't let her go even if she asked him to!

On the way outside, the boy saw that everyone was wearing clothes similar to them, though he was curious he held back, he didn't want to be thought of as annoying.

Yuki had been watching the boy from the corner of her eyes, but she won't tell him if he didn't ask, she didn't want to become the 'bad person'.

First they were taken to the side house, it was the same house that Yuki lived in, though she felt that people were intruding her personal space, she was aware that this house was not her, that is on the legal paper.

She just showed her mood with her RBF (-_-).

Usually the maids came into help clean the house, prepare her meals and help her wash up, other than that, she was left alone, but today there was another person beside her.

The boy was very curious, he had never taken a step away from the mansion and even this side house became an adventure for him!

But he still suppressed his emotions, just that his hand came a bit lose, he probably wanted to go and explore the place.

Yuki let out a sigh, but hearing it the grip of the boy tightened again as he looked up at her with caution...

Yuki saw this look and relented again, how many times has it been for today, she wondered?

Who was sit that said that she was not a good sister candidate?

She is so accommodating to her little brother! She is a perfect choice for the position, though she won't take it!!

She used her other hand to pat his head, the boy's eyes again lit up.

"So you still have the chocolate bar with you?", she asked.

The boy nodded; though he couldn't take away the bananas, he still hid the chocolate in his pocket.

" Give it to me"

The boy stiffened, ' Does Onee-chan doesn't like me anymore? Why does she want to take it back? ', though he had those kinds of thoughts, he still took out the bar like a good child.

Yuki felt like, she had a new power of reading his mind now, or maybe this boy was just an open book?

She could totally read what he was thinking, but she chose not correct him.

She took the chocolate from the boy who still had a hesitant look, she helped him unwrap it and then said, "Here. Eat it. I'll go and bring some milk and fruits... We both can't go hungry now, can we? "

The little boy now had stars in his eyes, his Onee-chan was the best!! Without her knowing it, this small event became the brightest moment in the life of the boy till now and was also the trigger that made him put her on a pedestal so much so that, a certain alpha who had his heart stolen away by this boy in the future could only helplessly watch over this sis-con* and have a grudge against her.

......

Far away in the capital, a handsome young boy, who was practising his sword sneezed, only for the maids and footmen beside him to make a small ruckus, they thought that he caught a cold!

.......

Yuki was like a fish in water in this house, she knew what was kept where; she opened the fridge to get some milk, she first bought two glasses and put them on the low-desk in the lounge area, she saw that Aki was seriously staring at the small fishes in the aquarium, he looked like a cat staring at its prey, Yuki found this situation a bit funny.

She called out, "Aki, come here and drink this", the boy looked back at her, then he came to the table after giving the fishes a longing look.

He again had those illusionary droopy ears.

Yuki really wanted to cough out blood, this child really had a way to make others feel exhausted.
