[fsdjghdfjk how do you keep sneaking up on me]

Uweh?!

[sleepingspark]

[wait there is a more pressing issue]

--Kaito-nii, since when do you sing?

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

I've always been capable of it.

[sleepingspark]

... Yeah, but I've never heard you actually do it.

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

[...

blinks at her, but doesn't say anything]

[sleepingspark]

[... no don't go silent on me ._.]

Um, I didn't mean you had to stop...

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

But you stopped.

[sleepingspark]

[taking her food out to the living room, though she keeps talking to him over her shoulder]

Eheh, well... I didn't know anyone was listening...

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

[trailing after her]

Were you embarrassed that I was listening?

[sleepingspark]

Yeah, kinda... I'm not that good at singing. I was being silly.

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

It was "cute," though.

[sleepingspark]

[.........?!]

Cute?

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

Yes. Therefore, there's no need for you to feel embarrassed.

[sleepingspark]

...

Kaito-nii can't think I'm cute.

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

I wouldn't have said it if I didn't think it was true. I understand what "cute" means, Rin.

[sleepingspark]

But - that's a feeling, isn't it? You don't just look at something and be like "hmm yes scientifically speaking that is cute"!

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

The identification of something cute is not a feeling— I can, in fact, look at something and decide whether or not it would be considered cute based off of psychological factors.

However, the reaction to something cute is a feeling, one which often involves a desire to coddle or protect whatever it is that has been identified as cute.

I have always "felt" that toward you.

[...he could have said that with more care so as not to be upsetting to her. why did he not do that?]

[sleepingspark]

Which psychological factors? Papa thinks millipedes are cute.

And, see?! You always "feel" like that 'cause it's like- your job or something!

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

I feel like that because I chose to make you and Father the most important things in my life. I chose being your brother over everything else.

[sleepingspark]

[flops suddenly into a slump on the couch, shoulders hunched and head down]

I know. I know that.

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

...

Is why and how I feel love more important than the fact that I feel it?

[sleepingspark]

[draws her knees up to her chest. nope I am a ball]

'S not love if it's just a set of rules you follow. You can just change them if you wanna. You only won't 'cause you don't care.
