Insecurities

"Oh, you can be so infuriating sometimes. Not once did I argue that you're nothing without me." Stephan argued. It was going into one of Koko's ears and out the other. "So why do we need to practice synchronized attacks all of a sudden. Last time I checked, we don't need to fight side by side all the fucking time." She spat.

Stephan's face dropped before morphing into an expression of irritation. Where was this coming from all of a sudden? The hesitation she had fighting alongside him was growing day by day since Sakurasou. His facial expression then turned into one of surprise. 

"Does this have to do with what went down in Sakurasou? You lost to someone any of us would have lost too. Plus, you were at a clear disadvantage without your weapons. There was nothing you could have done to win. It was the odds that were stacked against you." He reasoned. That only set off Koko, she glared at her brother, biting her bottom lip till it bled a little.
