[Mini Epilogue] The Trio Wonders

Spark!

Kael brought a serving tray to the small table in front of the Tv. Above the tray was three cups, he arrived and leaned forward to pass the drink. One cup of Latte forward to Yoko; One cup of Cappuccino to Yuki, and for Kael who is putting the tray aside, serve himself a steamy hot Americano. Yoko's eyes look at her drink, Yuki proceeds to ponder as well what kind of meaning behind these drinks. Without any direction, Kael sipped the coffee and began the trials.

"What's going on?" I began to speak integrating my suspect of crime. But in return no one mutters anything other than silentness. Although it doesn't escape my eyes as I saw a tense barrier between both siblings, seemingly like fire and water combating each other. To proceed I continue with another subtle question– "So boya, how did you end up in the streets?" My face averted to him, looking straight into his eyes to show my commitment to solve the problem.

Bomb~

"Please stop calling me that kudasai. It's irritating." Yuki replies with reconsideration between pronouns: Invalid. But Yuki continued– "Well, I ran away from my parents house.." He mutters in an embarrassing manner, trying to not sound like it just was silly boy stuff. 

In regard to his feelings, I heed my male perception– "I see, some old fashion boy problem. Don't be ashamed about it." I try to make a safe place for Yuki to be in, to assure that no one would judge his actions. I continue to ask forward– "So what made you run away?"

Yuki took his time to respond back to my question, seeming to be very concerned about the result of what he was about to say. But from my perspective, I could understand some of male problems living in my parents' house, I could let some slack off. It's probably an invasion of privacy between parents and their child. 

Yuki slowly seeking validation mutters– "Would you not laugh if I said it?" He was very scared to tell the truth, I can see in his eyebrow. I reply– "I won't. Matter of fact, I'm a very reasonable person. Nothing out of imagery I can't stand. I promise." 

Yuki heard me consolidating and finally decided to tell the truth– "The reason is… I couldn't stand to see my parents keep having sex around the house.." 

Wow!

He utter it in pure disgrace. Every single part of his face was uncomfortable, the words seeping out of his mouth made his whole body shiver, he gave his reason while looking away, couldn't bear to look at my face. For a moment there, I was speechless by what he said. It utterly humor me greatly– "Huhu" I couldn't hold my laugh under my mouth.

Yuki responded– "Hey! Why do you laugh!?" I look away from him, trying to hide myself for not being committed to my promise. But I continue "Sex around the house? Like-like in the living room or something? Huh damn." Every part of it was amusing to me, but the truth is, I couldn't even comprehend the whole situation. And so I turn my head to look at Yoko for confirmation– "You parents really like to have sex around the house?" I was seemingly asking as part of the joke… But for that only moment, Yoko slowly turned her head to the right..

Jazzy!

#

Kael snapped his head to turn and look at Yuki 's second confirmation. Yuki's face turned sorrowful.. Kael who was flabbergasted thinking it as a joke, in return his face swiftly turned confused and diabolic. He was sure that it was just a joke by Yuki, but it ended up to be more serious than it sounds. For the fact that Kael probably knows how it feels to see his parents having sex before, he deeply relates to Yuki. Then Kael reaches out to his cup of coffee, only to hold it with a shaken hand, but nonetheless, he sips while the drink splashes around his face.

A moment later…

Kael wiped his face off with a tissue before proceeding to the next discussion. He spoke– "Uh.. So why did he not stay in your house?" Kael asks Yoko who drinks her latte. She was overly still upset about having his little brother here for the moment, but decided to answer– "Because I don't care about him." Kael continued– "still, he is your little brother. There is no harm in having him shelter under your house."

Oops?

But Yoko took this into offense, defending her belief– "There is!!" She mutters pointing out the potential harm. "I know it is hard to believe but this man.. He has a crush on me! He is sexually attracted to me!" Yoko spurt out her belief by directly pointing out Yuki's personality!

Woah

Yuki couldn't stand still hearing the absurd romance between siblings quickly flare out of his defense–! "What do you mean, I had a crush on you!? Sexually attracted to you!? I'm barely a teenager!" Yuki stood up, hands smashing the table in confusion! 

Yoko didn't stop there! She also slapped her hand on the table and told the story behind Yuki's love interest–! "Oh come on! Like I didn't know you secretly peek while I was taking a bath!? Not only that, you're sniffing my underwear!" The absurdity gets much bigger as it goes! Turn flashback~

# 

The scene began with teenage Yoko taking a bath. Suddenly a voice came out from outside– "Aneue! I put shampoo here!" Yuki appears to deliver shampoo that has run out. But Yuki stopped for a moment in front of the door that kept Yoko inside. His mind while looking straight to the gap between the door slides– 'Why did she not close the door tight..' 

But Yoko has her own perceptive… She sank under the water, only eyes above watching the shadow of Yuki standing there for a moment. Yoko thought– "Is he peeking at me???" But a moment later, Yuki walked away to the clothes basket. Yoko, who is greatly self-aware, walks out of the bathtub and comes to that very gap of the slide door to peek at Yuki. 

Yoko's mind quickly thought about lewd perverted behavior by his little brother– "Is he sniffing my underwear!?" While the truth is Yuki's side of the point of view– "Why is there a hole in Aneue pants.. It is not a bit embarrassing."

#

Current moment.

Yuki responded back to Yoko's absurdity– "I did not!! What made you think I was sexually attracted to you!? Are you not making a huge statement to a child!?" Yuki fought his ground, shaming Yoko for her utter statement over a child. With all the argument, I was unable to say anything other than just confused by the siblings dilemma. My face was completely in shambles, and I couldn't believe myself that both sides of reason were absurd… Now they both start fighting with each other like oil fuel vehicle users and electric vehicle users. 

Yoko: "Are you not the one who is playing with my panties while I'm not in the room!?

Yuki: "What!? Wh– That one time doesn't count!!!" 

Yoko: "Ah like I didn't notice that you kept on staring at me while I was looking away!?"

Yuki: "Just because I look at you, doesn't mean I had a crush on you!" 

Yoko: "Okay then, how about that one time where you fantasize about sipping my drink."

Yuki: "We are siblings! Wait, do I look like that!?" 

*Ding-dong*

Out of the argument, suddenly I hear a doorbell ring. And so I stood up and left them to settle their issue. I wonder who would appear at this time of day. But again… I do feel like I'm forgetting something big.. When I arrived, I took the door handle and opened it– "Hai! Who is it?" The moment the figure standing in front of the door was fully seen, I finally remembered everything. A scream from inside– "Ahh Darling! Get off me, Yuki– Darling who is it!?"

A man, holding down his fedora on his chest.

His face were serious and I knew, I have fuck up.
